WHY is FOOD so HIGH?

The Increased cost of living was
the subject of concurrent resolu-
tion offered in the House Tuesday by
Representative Hull, Of Tennessee.
1t provides for joint committee of
seven members of the House and five
members OF the Senate to investigate
conditions and report upon them and
as to what remedies may be effected
through legislation.
The resolution sets forth that dur
ing the last IL months there has been
an advance in the prices of commod-
tiles of from 81 to 80 per cent, and
during the last l3 years of more
than 55 per cent, which is entirely
dispreportionate to the increase in
wages, making it difficult for millions
of people to procure food, clothing
and shelter consistent with their
needs.
She resolution charges the Payne
Tariff bill with being a large factor
in the rise of necessities through per-
hitting trusts to monopolize products
and raise prices. By the terms of
the resolution the committee is
authorized to sit anywhere and adj.
minister oaths to witnesses.
In consonance with the resolution
introduced Tuesday by Representa-
tive Hull Secretary Wilson, of the De-
partment of Agriculture, has ordered a
sweeping inquiry into the cost of
living in the United States.
81 realize" said Secretary Wilson,
"that we have undertaken big con-
tract, but we can carry it out. We
have the men and we have the
money, to paraphrase to famous
statement, and the work will be done
thoroughly. Much of the work will
be done by inspectors of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, but other
divisions of the department will be
called upon to assist.
1.-THE question of food supply is
most complicated. Investigating it
with regard to any particular locality
three facts are to be considered.
First, the price paid by the whole
sale merchants to the producer;
second, the cost of transportation
from the place of production, and
third, the difference between the
who esale and retail prices. The
location of the place of production,
and consequently the question of
transportation, plays large part
in the general results
Mr.. Douglas, of Ohio, asserted
that the food production of the
country was not keeping pace with
the growth Of population, and yet
he said, Congress had done practi-
cally nothing to encourage develop
ment of the soil.
Last year Congress appropriated
to the army and to the navy and to
military pensions total OF 1885,, OOO,-
900, Or 679 per cent. of our total
revenue" continued Mr.. Douglas,
land we appropriated to our great
Department Of Agriculture $4,000,
600, or about 2 per cent. OF our
revenue. | submit that the daily
bread and meat of the men and
women, who toll, of the very soldiers
and soldiers widows and children
dependent upon their pensions, are
at least as important as coast de-
lenses and battleships."
Mr.. De- glas urged that greater
share Of 2 lie revenues be spent
IN an earre 0en,
rous effort TO II
conditions.
