The Increased Cost of Living

An Olympia press dispatch says
that in preparing the Forthcoming
biennial report of the state bureau of
labor, Commissioner G. f. Hubbard
has completed an investigation into
the cost of living in Washington. the
results of which show that prices of
ord mary household com modities have
been higher during the past year than
ever before. In making this investi-
CATION. the year 1900 was made the
starting point and the conclusions are
based on the Wholesale prices of a
list of sixty eight articles. all of
which are in every day use. Whole
sale prices were used.
AS compared with the prices for
1900. forty one of the sixty eight
articles considered, show an average
increase of 90 per cent. for 1908.
Included in this list are the follow
ing: Cove oysters. canned cherries.
canned raspberries, canned asparagus.
canned tomatoes, coffee. evaporated
cream. dried apples. apricots, cur
rants, peaches. pears. plums, oat
meal crackers. wheat flour, oat meal,
corn meal. graham -four, rye flour.
honey, rice. table salt, granula ted
sugar, molasses. eggs. butter, cheese.
lard. ham. bacon. mutton. dressed
hogs, chickens, turkeys, potatoes.
cabbage. beans and canned salmon.
In 1900 barrel of first grade
wheat cost at wholesale, SO. 25; in
1908 the price is S5.1 Second
grade -four in 1900 was worth 50. 95
the 1908 price is S4.65. A. ten
pound sack of corn meal in 1900 was
worth SIG; in 1908 the price is
s.24. In 1900 rice brought S.045
per pound: the price in 1908 is
$.0675. On the other hand. reports
which the labor commissioner has
been gathering covering the matter Of
wages do not indicate anything like 9
similar advance. to make up for the
increased cost of living expenses.
Most lines OF skilled labor have
secured advances since 1900.
