COST OF LIVING AND POLITICS.

In considering the high prices on the
necessarles of life now prevailing and
which have aroused public sentiment to
opposition, one factor should not be
overlooked, and that Is the graft In the
management of public affairs. When a
city government Is run extraVagantly
and the taxes. consequently. are raised
the results win be higher prices on food,
clothing. houserent and all the other
necessaries of life.
1t Is mistake to believe that only
the well-to-do classes suffer from the
dishonesty that prevails in so many city
administrations. The laborers, the men
and women with small wages, the con-
sumers, are ultimately made to pay
the cost of the graft. That cost is le-
We'd against the owner OF the house, for
instance. But 1t is paid by the laborer
who must rent it because he has no
house Of his own. The business man,
in the same way, naturally must in
crease the price OF his merchandise be-
cause OF the higher cost of a dishonest
local government, OF which he is made
to pay his heavy share.
This condition OF dishonesty is almost
general. In New York, the water" in
the street railroad stock is said to
amount to 100000. Even II one-quar-
ter of this says the New York World,
