Taxpayers Burdened More Heavily
Than In Any Other Country,
The cost of living in France Is In
creasing at a. pace which IS Great
ing both alarm and comment All
though the advance IN prices in The
last few years Is common to all coun-s
tries, 1t seems to have been more
rapid in France than elsewhere. Not
only foodstuffs Of every description.
and clothing and other necessaries or
life are going up rapidly In price,
but rents, which have. remained sta
tionary for years, are rising at an UNI
precedented rate.
The official statistics OF the
cost, Of all sorts Of supplies
for public charities, just pub
lishe bring cut the facts in a
startling fashion. Within four years
the average cost OF food and cloth
ing purchased for public charities
has increased almost 10 per cent
The increase can be indicated in the
following items: Milk, 19 per cent;
meat, 81 per cent; potatoes, 10 pc.
cent; cheese, 16 per cent; oil. Is per
cent; peas, IA per cent; rice, 100
per cent, and coke and wood, so per
cent. Without an exception every
article on the list has gone up from
S to 100 per cent. Even horse meat
has risen from 26 to 81 cents q
pound.
Much Of the responsibility for the
Increase in cost of living Is laid at
the door Of the additional burdens
imposed on commerce and industry
by the weekly day Of rest law, the
employers liability act and other
measures of a socialistic character
destined to protect the masses at the
expense of the more wealthy classes
1T is feared, furthermore that with
the coming Of old-age pensions and
shorter hours Of labor, for which the
trades unions are contending, prices
will inevitably go higher instead Of
lower
