HARMON WANTS
COST OF LIVING
INVESTIGATED
OHIO GOVERNOR SUGGESTS THAT
LAWS ENACTED BY CONGRESS
ARE RESPONSIBLE.
OBSERVES EVIL CONSPIRAClES.
Believes Judgment Of Legislative Probers
VIII Have Great Weight with
Those at Washington.
THINKS COMPETITION IS STIFLED.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 12.-Gov.
Harmon sent TO the Legislature today
notable message concerning the high
price of foodstuffs. He suggests that
laws enacted by Congress may be re-
sponsible in a measure for the trouble,
and asks an investigation.
The message follows: There have
been rapid and continuous advances in
price Of the various articles which make
up the needs Of every household, and
further advances are expected. The re-
suit is pinching, and often priyation ev-
erywhere. except among the relative few
whose incomes greatly exceed their living
expenses. and even these are made less
able and willing to help the poor and
needy.
Sees Evil Combines.
'There is widespread belief that
among the causes of this, combinations
and conspiracies to stife competition and
advance prices figure largely. This be
lief is apparently justified by the enor-
nous differences between the prices paid
to farmers, cattle raisers and other pro-
ducers and those paid by consumers to
the dealers from whom they directly re-
ceive their supplies. 1t is currently re-
ported, too, on the statements OF such
dealers and other authorities, that the
prices at which they sell are fixed by
those from whom they buy, with threats
of cutting off further dealings if the
prices so fixed are not maintained.
May Remedy Trouble.
II feel that this subject is one which
should be promptly and thoroughly in
CURED into If it be found that there
are laws which put the people in the
power of men who take advantage of
their necessities. or that the laws are
not enforced, the means of relief are III
your power.
"Or. if the fault lies partly in the
laws of Congress, your judgment as to
their effect on the people of Ohio will
have great weight. respectfully recon-
mend that a joint committee be appoint
ed with all necessary powers for
thorough investigation"

MARSHFIELD, Ore, Jan. 13.-The
Southern Pacific steamer Czarina which
left this port for San Francisco Wednes-

tribute to the earlier years of the city
and to the illustrous sons and daugh-
tors who have gone out from her bor-
eers and made themselves famous In
other lands, yet ever remember the
city from which they went. He also
gave vivid illustration how easily 1t
would be for the city to get beyond
her present prescribed limits. He
mentioned the one thing that could
best bring this about would be n mod

lieved that it was not drawing too
much upon the future to predict that

must be the outgrowth OF we'll invested

all his remarks and received applause
which indicated that his address was
well received. He closed eloquently
with the following poem. saying:
Your own poet. Mrs. Emma Hunt
ington Mason, in her own exquisite
words sounds the theme:

We pledge thee our troth again!
It's the struggle with thy stern nature
That makes us women and men.

Thy barrenness Is our health:
Thy granite heart Is our glory;
Thy poverty III our wealth.

The closing address by Carroll l..
Beedy Of Portland on: 1.-THE Growth
of American Trade and Resultant
Problems" was eloquently delivered
and thoughtfully prepared. He talked
without notes and was attentively
listened to- The figures he gave show
ed that he had carefully read up on
the subject by which he compared the
vast concerns between the United
States and Europe, with all odds In
favor of this country If we are only
