upon the recent increases in wages
by the railway companies, says: BE
ware of Greeks bearing gifts" and
remarks that the increase in wages
is Immediately followed by an in
crease in freight rates that means a
greater increase In revenue to the
railways than the increased 'cost of
living" caused by the bigger payrolls.
Mr.. George remarks further that
the raise probably was made for no
other reason than to quiet labor and
prevent it from raising or joining in
any cutlery against an increased
freight tariff.
"An increase in freight rates" he
remarks, falls directly not upon the
consumer, but Xpon the shipper. 1t
bears upon Ke\general public only
indirectly in the added cost of pro-
duction. The freight transmitter
adds the new freight charge to the
price of his commodities, plus the in
terest on the additional capital called
for in the new charge. This increas-
ed railroad charge goes into higher
price for shoes, hats, food, lumber,
iron and steel; in short, for most
things transported by railroads. The

HOUSE SHORTAGE.

Notwithstanding the fact that over
a thousand residences have been
erected during the past year in Spo-
kane there is still a scarcity of
dwellings. Every day people are
looking for houses in which to live
and which are not to be found at rea-
sonable rates because the demand eX-
ceeds. the supply,
That Spokane is growing rapidly
is evidenced on every hand and the
need of more residences and modern
apartment houses is seen every day.
At the present time there are few
lines in which capital can be invested
more profitably than in dwellings and
the landlords realize this as well as
anyone and they are slow in making
further investments for fear of the
reduction of rents.
