HOW TO REDUCE COST OF
LIVING.

In the face of opposition on the
part of Congress TO granting any
further appropriation to conduct the
Senate investigation into the cause
of the high cost of living. Senator
Lodge has decided not to press his
request for the appropriation. We
are glad to kno " it and hope that if
the matter is again brought I'D Con-
gress will promptly vote it down.
What has the investigation amount
ed 20? What could it amount TO?
Its only object was to clear the
tariff of being particeps criminis Of
robbery of the people. and while
such a report would undoubtedly
have been brought in by the Lodge
committee, it would have convinced
no one that the tariff was blameless.
Such money as has already been
used for this purpose has been vast
ed,and it is not right that more of the
public funds should be dissipated.
Congress can. to a very great de-
gree and without the expenditure of
an extra dollar, greatly relieve the
present situation, and that by revis.
ing some Of its own recent work
Let it revise the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill, along the lines pledged by both
the great political parties prior Il
the last presidential election, and ar
almost immediate beneficial result
will follow. This, however. is ex
actly what Senator Lodge and hi
followers do not want. and the,

them in throwing sand in the PEG
pies eyes just little longer. Con
gress has done well in refusing I,

THE SHIP SUBSIDY CRAZE

The New York Press. which is ;
Republican newspaper. gives ex
preston in forcible manner 10 some
of the reasons why the majority OF
congressman and a majority of the
American people oppose so bitterly
the effort to subsidize ship owners
The utterances Of this newspaper on
the question are about the strongest
and clearest we have yet seen and
constitute to our mind a convincing
argument against this rapacious at
tempt TO secure public funds. The
Press. after admitting that the for
eign ship owners are exerting pow
erful influence against the subsidy.
goes on to say.
But the ship subsidy people must not
imagine that the foreign lines have any
thing TO do with the very strong oppo-
sition of this country 10 the ship sub
sidy program. The American people
like the New York Press. are very
anxious 10 have our merchant marine
first revived and then permanently
hourishing; they are eager to see the
three hundred millions Of freight
moneys a year going to America IN
stead of to British. German, and other
foreign bottoms. But the ship subsidy
scheme of taking cash out of the United
States Treasury and putting IL
into the pockets of few Of our ship
owners will not restore our merchant
marine to its glories of the past. il will

freight payments on our international
trade from the foreigners now taking
that huge sum annually to fleets of
Yankee merchantmen. 1t will merely
put the few owners who get the sub
sidy moneys in easy street
The Press. like every other Amer
lean newspaper. sadly appreciates
the fact that the American merchant
marine is at low ebb. and expresses
itself in favor of a program that will
result in directing our commerce to
American bottoms. but it is convinc-
ed. as we are. that this cannot be
done by handing over hundreds of
thousands of dollars TO a few ship
owners. 1t will simply result in en-
riching them at the expense Of the
public treasury without any result
ant benefits. Winding up its edi-
toriLl The Press says:
The scheme is 10 take public funds
out of the Treasury and pour them in
10 the pockets Of favored few. The
voters Of the United States have no
sympathy with this attempted grab.
They will have no patience with mem
bers of Congress who legislate private
hands into the vaults of the Treasury.
We are in hearty and complete
sympathy with this New York news
paper and We believe it expresses the
almost unanimous sentiment Of the
voters of this State. We trust that
no Virginia congressman will cast his
vote for subsidy bill. if one shall
reach the voting stage at this session
of congress.
