Gov. Hadley and Home Rule.

Nothing else in the public utter.
ances of Herber. S. HadIey, either
before he was Governor of Mis-
souri or since his installation into
that high Office, so commended
him to the favorable consideration
of a greatly preponderating ma
loritg of the voters Of St. Louis as
did his uneqnivocai declaration for
Home Rule in his significant adj
dress on Monday in the Coliseum
upon the occasion of the official
welcome to the visiting mayors.
There was no ''ifs" in Gov.
HadIeys position us he then an
nounced it. He pointed out to the
400 mayors who were among his
auditors that in Missouri the Gov
ernor of the State possesses a far
greater power in the cities than
have the mayors thereof, and, by
inference declaring that such a
condition is politically unethlcal,
boldly stated that be would be the
first man to sign petition for the
submission through the initiative
of the question of Home Rule to
the voters of the State at the No
vember election in 1910.
Home Rule is matter close to
the hearts of the electorate of st.
Louis. They have endured hu-
initiation under the laws now ex-
istent and have been compelled to
meet great expenses for the main
tainance of appointees not of their
own choosing. Under administra.
tions less just and more unfriend-
ly than that of Gov. Hadley they
have in times past had foisted up
on them dictators whose names
were anathema to the people of
this town.
The great cities of Missouri are
full weary of q system Of State
government which permits med.
dlesome folk who have no direct
interest in their affairs to control
their incomings and their ontgo.
| ings because an unfair method OF
representation bestows upon one
voter in the heart of the Ozarks az
much political power as is given to
FIVE voters in congested district
or town.
The cities desire to control their
own police. affairs, to arrange their
Iown excise rules, to spend then
lown money IN their own way.
/ We never haye questioned Mr.
4 Hadley's sincerities Of utterance OF
Of purpose. We are thoroughly
convinced that when he says
/ thing he means it, and also believe
that when he unreservedly declares
! lhi,nseif for Home Rule in Missouri

The Cost Of Living.

recent years of the constantly in
creased cost of living and much in
justice has undoubtedly been done
by those who charge the trusts and
the tariff with the entire RESPONSE
bility for the increasing cost of
commodities every householder is
compelled to buy. In reality a
large portion of the increased cost
of living is due to the increased
cost of food products raised on the
farm, the benefit of which goes di-
rectly to the farmer, who is GER
tainly not in combination to wrong
his neighbor. Take for instance.
the price of eggs, which are used
to more or less extent in every
home. In 1899 the average price
of eggs in this country, that is the
farm price, was Ills per dozen.
In 1909 the average price was 1873
cents per dozen. In other words
the same number of dozens of
eggs, which sold for an aggregate
price of 1916, 900, 900 in 1899 sold
for 1926. 900, 900, in 1909, or an
increase of 65 per cent. This
1926, 100000 extra went into the
pockets of the American farmer
and not in the pockets of some
trust or combination. Compare
with these figures the mill price of
sugar during the same year. In
1899 sugar sold for an average of
4 1924 cents per pound while in
1908 it sold for 1910 cents per
pound. Sugar is said to be a trust
product, but there is nothing like
the increase in its cost today over
ten years ago as is exhibited in the
case of eggs.
1t is only necessary to go care
fully over list of those things
used in every home to arrive at a
definite understanding of the fact
that the larger per cent of the in-
creased cost Of living comes from
the increased cost of farm and food
products. All kinds of live stock
is much higher than ten years ago,
a fact that explains the high price
of meat. Corn and wheat and po.
tatoes are much higher than they
were ten years ago. In short all
sorts of vegetables command bet
ter prices today than they did
decade ago and these are the ar
ticles that consume a vast majority
Of the laboripg mans income. The
New York Sun, in discussing this
calls attention to the fact
that an increase of IS per cent 10
railroad rates would call for the
loudest denunciation among the
people. Such an increase in the
price of barbed wire or nails. in
garden or farm implements, house
hold or kitchen furniture would
not be accepted without a struggle,
as we haye quietly submitted to
the increasing price of all farm
products. According to the secre.
tary of agriculture the total value
of farm products in the United
States last year was 81. IT'S, 600, 900
or nearly double their value tel
years ago.
