HOUSE AND SENATE INQUIRIES
INTO THE COST OF LIVING

Washington, Feb. 1.-TWO indepen-
dent Investigations into the high cost
of living will be conducted by COM
mittees of the senate and house. The
first step toward the proposed Inquiry
In the senate was taken today when
Senator Lodge presented a resolution
providing for II. The resolution was
introduced at the request of the inter-
state commerce commission, which In
sures It's adoption. 1t provides for q
committee OF five.
The inquiry will include an lnvestl-
CATION into the cost of the necessaries
OF life. with an especial view to de-
terminIng whether there has been an
increase during the last 10 years 1t
is also directed that 1t shall cover the
question of wages with view of ascer-
tanning whether there has been an in
crease.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on finance, which will re-
port 1t back promptly. The house in
auiry will be conducted by the ways
and means committee.
Frankly admitting fear that O pro-
longed investigation of the increased
cost of living by the ways and means
committee of the house. OF as provided
by any rival resolution, might drag
throughout the summer and work to
the disadvantage OF Republicans in
elections next fall the senate finance
committee today formulated a program
for q quick. sharp inquiry
This important question was consid-
cred by Republican members of the
committee. and as a result Senator
Lodge introduced In the senate a reso-
luton providing for the appointment of
a committee OF five senators to do the
work.
Suggestion was made that the pro-
| posed investigation by the ways and
80. - u
| accomplish every purpose. but the res
| olutlon introduced by Chairman Payne
yesterday was characterized as a
| "dragnet."
The opinion was expressed generally
that such an inquiry as was proposed
| by the house would not be concluded
| in time to be of assistance TO Repub-
leans in their campaign for rc-elec-
| tion.
