How COST OF LIVING HAS
SHOT UP DURING IS YEARS
Expert Shows That the General Average is More Than 40
Per Cent But On Such Luxu4es as Newlywed's Little
Home the Increased Cost 1slAbout 100 Per Cent

There is nothing above the sea or
under the sea that interests-that
comes home to the American peo:
pie today-more than the increased
cost Of living.
This nation has passed through
IL generally fat years; fat crops
and fat pocketbooks for the Harri.
mans, for the Morgans and for all
the trusts and monopolies. But
they have also been 10 years Of fat
prices that the everyday city man
has had to pay, and Is years OF
lean tables for him who couldn't.
With this article The Press pre-
sents today a table prepared by an
expert, showing just how prices
have advanced during those 1a
fat" years on the commodities that
all Of us must have. Compare the
figures Of 1899 with those Of 1909,
and you find that the increase is
49.1 per cent in IL years, which
means that the dollar you had In
1896 must be over $1.49 now to GO
the same distance.
But the average Of 49.1 doesn't
tell the whole story. Just look over
that table for a minute. Newlywed
isn't thinking altogether about food
and clothing. He wants to build q
little house. II he had married 1a
years ago, good hemlock lumber for
that house would have cost him $11
per 1000 feet. Today 1t costs $40. so
An increase of nearly 100 per
cent!
It's a kitchen problem. too-this
increased cost of living. There are
48 commodities on this list that are
higher now than they were a year
ago today, and they are what are
called consumers goods-the kind
that the workingman buys most of.
Included in this list are flour, eggs,
pork, mutton chops, cheese and
other eatables.

AN FOWLER TO PUB.
LISH OPEN LETTER.

Representative Charles N. Fowler,
ofthe Fifth New Jersey district, for
merlv chairman of the Committee on
Banking and Currency, is preparing
an open letter to Speaker Cannon
which will be forthcoming in a day or
two. The letter is written in view of
Speaker Cannon's action in deposing
Mr.. Fowler from the chairmanship of
the Banking and Currency committee.
Mr.. Fowler was one Of the "insur-
gents" to whom Speaker Cannon
melted out punishment. 49, s.
MIR. Fowler says that the anti-Can-
non issue was one of national impor-
lance and that when the facts were
disclosed they would go directly to the
root of the problem which brought to
an end last Thursday one Of the
stormiest sessions OF Congressin many
years. Mr.. Fowler said he could not
be swerved from his purpose OF fight
ing against the injustice with which
he and every other member of Con-
gress is familiar AS far as Speaker
Cannon's action in deposing him was
concerned, he said, he regarded him
self as stronger politically than ever
before. Mr.. Fowler said that the new
tariff bill was suited to the interests
Of New Jersey.
1t is probably. as good revision as
we could hope to get" he asserted,
"as long as tariff revisions must be
based upon facts. Nor need we ex-
pect tariff revision based upon facts
until we have a permanent tariff COM
mission composed of men OF the very
highest character and recognized as a
responsible body, precisely as we now
regard the Supreme Court"

TARIFF SESSIONS COST.

Ii is estimated that the cost of hold
ing the special session of Congress to
pass the tariff bill was at least $780,
600. This does not include the in
creased expenses OF the Government
Printing Office In printing the hear
ings before the Ways and Means Com
rnittee, the various reports and docu-
ments, the Congressional Record, the
tariff bill in its various stages and the
Payne law as finally enacted. Accur-
ate information as to the additional
expense incurred by the Government
Printing Office is not available, but it
is estimated to De as much as $500. 900
or $500, 1000.
The principal item of expense of the
session was mileage. The mileage ac-
count of Representatives was 1854 900,
and of Senators SAT 900. Extra pay for
employees of Congress involved an ex-
penditure Of nearly 100000. For mis-
cellaneous expenses OF the session an
appropriation Of s25, 900 was provided
in the urgent deficiency bill.

MUST CARRY LIGHTS.

When the Vehicle light law was
pending before the legislature certain
discrepancies were pointed out, such
as the provision that light should be
so displayed as to be visible before and
behind vehicle, in many cases an i'm
possibility, and to the defect about
compliments, but the advocates Of the
bill said the law was intended more as
a warning and it could be amended and
made more severe if it did not accom-
plish the desired result in its present
form. 1t was expected that there
would he many arrests under the law,
and it is believed that the first arrests
under the law were made in Railway
this week. -Four teamsters were fined
one dollar each, all that the act allows.
There has been a very general observ-
ance of the law in relation to lights,
but in many instances the light shows
only one way on account of the load
on the vehicle.

THERE is movement on foot in
Sussex county to have submitted to
the voters this fall the question OF
abolishing the present board of free
holders and substituting a county
commission of three members, under
the Strong law. There is not a coun-
ty that has adopted the smaller board
plan that has not saved large sums of
money annually, and in none is there
a disposition to return to the old
popular board" system. The Strong
law.should be made mandatory on all
the counties, thus saving the trouble
and expense Of referendum votes, and
giving to the freeholders, prospective
candidates and their friends among
the contractors the opportunity to de-
feat the popular will. IN

CLEAN PAPER MONEY PLANNED

When the present press of work
incident to the new tariff law and
the approaching necessity for the
making up of estimates is over the
treasury department intends to I'M
dertake a number of reforms in the
paper currency of the country. Not
the least of these reforms is the pro-
position to wash national banknotes,
and thus wage a governmental wal
on germs. There is under considera-
tion also plan to change the size
and design of practically all the
notes now in circulation, retiring
the present issue as rapidly as pos
sible.
Physicians have inveighed for
years against the banknotes as con-
veyers of disease. The attention Of
the treasury officials in the past has
been called to the danger thai turks
in notes which have passed from
hand to hand, accommodating the germs
of disease that threaten the health
of the nation. A dirty and crumpled
banknote, under microscopic exam
ination has been found to contain
some billions of such germs to the
square inch.
AS a result of this agitation Sec
rotary MacVeagh has called upon
Director Ralph, of the bureau of en-
craving and printing to submit a
plan whereby the danger could be
obviated. Director Ralph at once
began experiments, with the result
that he has discovered a chemical
solution, or bath, that makes the
tough fibre of the banknote almost
as good as new, does mot injure the
ink, and completely and inexorably
eliminates the dangerous bacteria.
Samples of notes so treated are
now in the possession of Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Norton.
While they have not the crispness
of the new notes, as they come from
the Treasury, they are obviously
clean \ Further experiments are be-
ing made at the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing in the hope of dis
covering some method by which the
bills may be completely restored to
their pristine freshness.
If these experiments are success
ful the cost OF producing national
banknotes will be greatly reduced.
Now, when dirty and bedraggled
notes are returned to the treasury
they are destroyed, and this destruc-
tion entails practically a complete
loss of the expensive paper and the
equally expensive inks used in their
manufacture, for no means has
been discovered whereby the pulp
can be used in the manufacture of
new notes, because of the indelible
ink, which discolors it.

'rhe Grand Army at salt Lake city. /.

The Grand Army at Salt Lake City.
Salt Lake city this week extended a
magnificent welcome to the Grand
Army Of the Republic on the occasion,
of its annual encampment there. I'll @
encampment consists of at least ten
delegates from each state and terri
tory, reinforced by veterans coming
Il ON all sections of the country. The
woman element was in evidence, not
less than 1000 women being on the
committees. Hundreds of comedy
girls lined the route of the parade and
showered flowers upon the marching
veterans. Three thousand children
in colors made great national flag,
and citizens houses were thrown open
to entertain the veterans as guests.
The present commander in-chief is
Henry M. Nevius, OF Red Bank, elect
ed year ago and the chief interest of
the encampment will be the election
of his successor. The presence of men
who wore the gray in the great Civil
war lent additional interest to the
event. Not many more of these ma
tienal gatherings will be held, for the
grand army is rapidly disappearing
and will soon be "Reminiscences. So
every year the annual encampment
has an increased interest for the
American people, and that at Salt
Lake city. this week. will be the most
