Investigation to Be Made and Changes
Suggested in Accounting Divi-
sion of the Treasury.

Secretary Shaw has appointed a COM
mittee TO investigate the condition Of
the auditing Offices of the Treasury, and
to recommend such changes in the pres
ent system as may seem advisable The
committee consists of Assistant Secre-
tary Keep and Chief Clerk Hills, % the
Treasury. and ex-Assistant Secretary
Allies, now a banker of this city.
The step taken by the Secretary is the
outgrowth Of the report OF Messrs. Bona
parte and Conrad, on the postal scan
dals, in so far as that report may call
into question the efficiency of auditing
accounts.
The committee will have rather a diff
ficult problem to solve. az it is expect
ed TO put the auditing service of the
Treasury on such Lasis that the Of
ficers and employees shall feel free 20
do their work in an independent and
conservative way without being In
iuenced toward laxity for fear OF the
power Of higher officers to harm them
and also without obstructing cases in
which no wrong exists. AS the men Sc
lected for the committee have a thor.
ough knowledge Of the workings of the
machinery of the department. it is ex-
pected they will be able to suggest some
practical plans for Improvement
1t is understood Mr.. Keep will call a
meeting Of the committee early the
coming. week. probably Monday 1t is
not certain how long the preparation
of the report viii take, but probably
several months.
1t Is said the appointment of the COM
mittee Is in accordance with the recon-
mendatiOns OF the Conrad and Bona
parte report. which advised that com
mittee Of this kind be named to de-
termine what improvements could be

WHAT WORKINGMEN PAY
FOR LIVING EXPENSES
Has Increased ISL Per Cent.
Since 1896.
REPRESENTS 2,567 FAMILIES
Food Prices Lowest in 1896, Highest in
1909, as Shown By the
Statishts.

The cost of living of workingmen in
the United States has increased about
I6.1 per cent since 1896, announces the
Bureau Of Labor in bulletin just issued.
This conclusion has been reached after
a careful examination OF the living ex-
penses of 2,567 families distributed
through thirty-three States.
The average increase for the year 1891
Of the 1851 families was $S27.19 and the
average expenditure was S76s54. The
average expenditures for food amounted
to 1854 per cent of the average expendi-
ture for all purposes. The table shows
that the 1861 families consisted on an
average of 5-S7 persons or seven-tenths
above the average of private families in
the United States, as shown by the CEN
sus Of 1900
Price of Food.
A table Of the relative retail prices Of
food covering a period of ten years
shows that the cost Of food, considered
as a whole. reached its highest point in
1902. the average for that year being
100 per cent. about the average for the
ten year period 1S9O-1sOo.
Compared with 1896. the year of low
est prices. the cost of food in 1902 show
ed an increase of 16.l per cent.
Other Expecs es.
These figures point t. the conclusion
that the increase In the other expenses.
except those which by their nature are
not an ted by the rise and fan OF
prices, was about the same as the in
crease in the cost of food.
This report assumes. of course. the
