body UNDISCOVERED HIGH COST IF LIVING
CONSUMER AWAXENS TO THE FACT
THAT He Is pINCKED.
Foreign Competition Is StrangIed,
and Dome StiC Combination Turns
the Trick. Combinations to Raise
Prices and Increase Profits Is the
Tendency of the Times.

The cost of living is beginning to
engage the attention of the whole
American publiS. The reason for it
is that it bears so heavily upon every
one in every direction, that it closes
so tight the margin between income
and Outgo, it brings pinch to meet
ordinary family expenses where here
tofore there has been opportunity for
some saving.
The people are more than ever dis
turbed because they see no way out
of the trouble that is easily availa-
Bile. They are confronted with the
further fact that prices seem des-
tined to go still higher, for the ag-
encies which control them will stead
lily increase the pressure as their
greed grows until the burden be-
comes SO great that no one will be
able to bear it. They grow indig-
nant because they have discovered
that the law of supply and demand,
hitherto supposed to immutably gov
ern prices, no longer holds good
Nowadays, through combinations
which grapple the producer on one
hand and the consumer on the 9TH
er, they find that prices are fixed
on the principle of what the public
can bear and totally without refer
ence to the cost of production and
marketing. The profits are thus ar
bitrariy made for those who can
control the output. Competition,
which used to be a regulator, is now
simply strangled. Instead of COM
petition, we now have combination
M tt<,,, % Il,
terests simply combine to maintain
prices without reference to anything
but profits. In this way the public
is fleeced and those who have most
money get more.
This is rendered possible to begin
with by the great tariff wall back of
which stand many Of these favored
interests. Foreign competition is
destroyed and domestic combination
is begun. Between the two the poor
consumer is being crushed. So long
as the principle was confined to the
great national interests along cer-
tain lines, the pressure was not felt
so much. But, in the course of
time, the trick was learned by ev-
erybody and every interest and put
into operation by them all. Now the
consumer is reaching a stage where
he is practically helpless. He gives
up everything he earns to meet his
living expenses. Where is it going
to end? AS start, there will be
an upheaval in the direction of tar
iff reform that may come dangerous
ly near free trade. The determine
tion Of various communities to alb
stain from the use of meat is an in
dication OF how far-reaching and
practical the question has become.
That agitation will lead in the di-
rection of a solution of the questions
now confronting the public, and if
the solution does not reach funda-
, mental proportions, it will be very
surprising. Telegram.

ABERDEEN LOSES FIGHT
First Round of Legal Battle With
Northwestern League Goes to
League.

SEATTLE, Feb. S.-Superior Court
Commissioner Robert Lindsay yester-
day denied the petition of the stock
holders of the Aberdeen baseball
club asking for an injunction re-
straining the directors of the North
western league from formulating
schedule with the Aberdeen club
omitted.
Two points were brought out in
the decision as reasons for denying
the petition of the Aberdeen stock
holders. One was the section of the
league constitution giving the di-
rectors authority to drop club "for
business reasons" and the other was
the act of Manager Clarence Rowland
of Aberdeen in accepting the return
of the $1,000 forfeit money after the
directors revoked the franchise of
his club.
The denial of the application for
the restraining order does not end
Aberdeen's fight. A petition asking
for the issuance of mandate requir-
ing the directors to reinstate the Alb
erdeen club is on the court calender
for February is.

IN POSTAL SAVINGS
Had $S69.493 Tied Up in Money Or

of 1907

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-When
Senator Carter was making his first
set speech on his postal savings bank
bill the other day he brought in
set of statistics showing the number
and amount of postoffice money or
ders bought for saving purposes in
the United States during the panic
period from March 1, 1907, to March
l, 1908. A feature of the tabula-

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Demand-
ing an investigation of the immigra-

vigorously defended his informant, j.
H. Patten, secretary of the immigra-
tion restriction league, who was Sc
verely arraigned by Representative
Bennett, of New York, a member of
the commission, in a recent speech in
the house.
"It is characteristic of the man to

quickly on his feet.

Trip Only a Junket
Mr.. Macon's speech was made In
response to Mr.. Benefits defense Of
the commission, and he renewed his
charges that the commission had been
eXtravagant. He declared official re-
ports and expense accounts corrobor-
ated his assertions that it's trip
abroad in 1907 was "junket," and
that the government had had no ade-
quate return from the expenditure
by the commission of $657,993.
"Unless my resolution to Great a
commission of three to investigate
the extravaganza of the commission
is adopted so the country will know
that the extravaganza l complained of
is scandalous, the people will rise
and smite the party that attempts to
shield the commission that made it,"
said Mr.. Macon.
"SiX members Of the commission
and seven employees made the trip to
Europe" he said. "They drew
100000 on which to make the trip,
while, in their report, they account
for only S20,675.

Hazelwood Company Makes Offer TO
Allow Government to Fix
Prices

OLYMPIA, Feb 9.-GovernOr NJ.
f. Hay is in receipt of a letter from
the president of the Hazelwood COM
pany of Spokane, dealing in butter,
eggs and milk, in which is made a
in solving the much discussed ques-
tiOn of what is causing the present
high price of living. This letter,
which follows, has been referred by
the governor to the secretary of the
agricultural department, Washing
ton:
GAS our national government has
decided to investigate the cost of
living, particularly that part pertain
ing to the distribution of food pro-
ducts, and as it is desirable that this
investigation should be of the full
est extent and undoubtedly will COW
er the entire country, we would like
to submit proposition which would
be briefly as follows:
"'That the United States senate or
secretary Of agriculture, or both, Sc
lect their representative and put him
he to dictate the prices of our COM
pany for 90 days, or If thought bet
ter, for one year. AS our different
plants, throughout the Northwest
handle in the neighborhood of ST.
100000 year Of strictly food prod
ucts that enter into the actual cost
of living, we believe that ours would
be one of the best in this section of
the country to demonstrate what is
right in the way Of profits, the ex-
pense of operating a business, the
prices that should be paid the farm
ers, and the prices consumers should
pay for food products delivered"

Roads Asked For .

At the meeting of the board of
county commissioners last Monday
representatives were present from
nearly all sections of the county, and

sum of $225,000 with which to build

vided at the state convention of the
Good Roads Association, that will be
held in Aberdeen on February 23 and
