TAFT AND LEADERS
FAVOR FULL INQUIRY
Payne and Clark to Draft Resolu=
ton Bearing on Cost of
Living InVestiga-
ton

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-President
Taft and Republican leaders in the
house favor a thorough investigation
of the high cost of living, and it was
determined today that the ways ana
means committee should make full
inquiry into the matter.
Chairman Payne and Minority Leader
Clark were designated to draft reso-
luton regulating the scope of the in
vestigation.
When the matter was brought up in
the committee today consideration was
given the various resolutions now be-
fore the rules committee, providing
for an investigation. One such reSo-
luton was introduced by Representa-
tive Hall of Tennessee, a Democrat,
and another by Mr.. Howland, Republi-
can, of Ohio. Both provide for a
broad inquiry and the committee has
not arrived at any definite decision re-
garding them.
1t was suggested that the ways and
means committee because of the recent
exhaustive tariff inquiries, was already
in possession of a vast amount of in
formation upon the subject and con-
sequently in better position than any
other body to. undertake the work.
Members of the committee were given
to understand, it is said, that Presi-
dent Taft desired a thorough investi-
cation Of the subject. Chairman Payne,
when asked today when the resolution
would be prepared, replied:
'I don't know"
From members it was learned that If
the house authorizes the committee to
proceed with the investigation various
subcommittee may be named to so
to different parts of the country TO
take testimony.
