run the score up higher but were
somewhat handicapped on account of

ing the high cost of living, legal
steps taken against those held responsible
for soaring prices and strike against meat has
enlisted thousands of heroic souls all over the
country it is interesting to see what Govern
ments did over two thousand years ago in
Athens, afterward in the Roman Empire, in
England in the Middle Ages. and later in the
United States, to solve the same problem.
High cost of living has been a plant raised at
frequent intervals in the history of the human
family. Numerous and stringent laws have
been passed to remedy the condition. 1t IS
doubtful whether the present agitation will
lead to any measures so severe as the Athen1an
penalty of death for cornering wheat, or so
thorough going as the edict of Diocletian, which
fixed the prices for hundreds of articles of neces-
S1ty and luxury.
At Athens, in the time of Percles, about $50
B. c., citizens and alien residents were forbid
den to export grain, and whoever bought more
than seventy-five bushels at time was con-
demned to drink hemlock, the capital punish
ment of the time. There was a bureau of
weights and measures which fixed the size and
weight of loaves of bread. The publicists of the
period compared the prices of Solon's time in
the previous century with the prevailing high
prices and pointed out that an OK on the hoof
that used to sell for five drachma SD was now
| valued at $50 The price of sheep had risen
from 20 cents apiece to 50 to 81. A medimnus,
or bushel and half, of wheat, had reached the
| extortionate figure of go cents. Bread was
| high at cents a loaf. " inc had advanced from
| sandals at 40 cents and cloaks at 50 were be-
yond the means of common people.
During the Peloponnesian War, on account
| of the increased cost of living, rowerS IN the
Athenian fleet got the high wages of 20 cents
day. which, a century earlier used to be
the regular salary of Athenian Congressman
(BonleM9) 1t was considered that the Greek
soldiers under Cyrus were highly paid at the
rate of SIS month for food clothing. and com
pensation, Captains $40 month, Generals $50,
and pensioned cripples cents.
Diocletian's Scale of Prices
THE high cost of living began to bother the
Roman Empire around 3O3 A. D., when
Emperor Diocletian promulgated an edict es-
tablishing maximum price for all commodl-
ties, including the labor of artists and literary
men. This schedule prevailed throughout the
entire Roman world, and violation of any of its
provisions probably entailed the death penalty,
since military discipline was the order of the
day. Here are some extracts from Diocletian's
prices current:

In England and Europe

TN England, France, and Germany, between
1850 and 1880 there were periodic rises in
the price of wheat and barley, from 4S and 20
cents bushel up to s2.61 and % cents. In
1872 the Town Council of Strasburg tried to
stop excessive prices by ordering that no
woman should spend more than 80 gold 1orins
(s7O5O) on a dress. The working classes of
England, Germany, and France were pros
porous in the period 1451-155O, measured by
the purchasing power of wages. In the second
half of the sixteen century complaints were
constant of the increased cost of living. In the
early period the days wage of a carpenter or
mason bought three-fifths of a bushel of wheat,
while in the nineteenth century it bought one
fifth of bushel. In parts of Germany in the
late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries
days wages bought only one-seventh of
The English Parliament was first prompted
to take measures against high prices after the
ravages of the Black Death in 134S-49, when
it extended the local regulations over prices and
wages. The Statute of Laborers (23 Edw. III.),
passed in 1349, provided that laborers should
not ask nor employers grant wages above the
old scale, and also that butchers, fshmongers,
regrators, hostlers, brewers. bakers, poulterers,
and all sellers of.all manner of victual shall be
bound to sell the same victual for reasonable
price, having respect to the price that such VIC
tual be sold at in the places adjoining so that
the same sellers have moderate gain and not
excessive"
In 1850 revised Statute of Laborers fixed the
daily wage of haymaker at penny, corn har-
vester two to three pence, carpenter and mason
two to four pence. while the price of shoes was
to be the same as in the twentieth wear of
King Edward the ILL., The diet and clothes
of workingmen of different classes were pre-
scribed with minuteness, all under penalties of
Jail and fine. In 1868 law passed that
the price of a young capon shall not pass three
pence. and of an old capon four pence, of
hen two pence, of a pullet one penny, of
goose four pence" Under Henry VIII, in 1888
certain judges and officials fixed the prices
of cheese. butter, poultry, and other things
A preamble to the statute says it was necessary
by reason of dearth, high prices, and the
greedy covetousness and appetites of the
owners of such victua1s.'
The exorbitance of book publishers came un-
der the ban in 1888. when a law was passed
fixing the prices of books and binding Ten
years later it was discovered that beer barrels
cost too much, and law fixing their price went
through Parliament A legal price for long
bows was also established. Under Queen Anne
in 1909 and George II. in 1853 the old Assize
of Bread was elaborated, and the price of all
kinds of loaves of bread, according to the price
of grain, constituents, and weights of loaves,
was established
