Under his orders hereafter every
saloonkeeper whose license is not

so much the better for the saloon
keeper.
He says it will do them good to

ministers with whom he has dis
cussed the plan believe it will re-
suit in good. They also say the
saloonkeepers will find hearty
welcome at their churches.
There is certainly not much about
the scheme to commend it. It's ten

high living, was submitted to DR.. Sci.

ly untrue. He said:
Living cost in the United States
has increased 81 per cent in the past
thirteen years, while wages have, adj
vanced on an average only little
more than 20 per cent. Living costs
have advanced nearly IL per cent more

Washington, Feb. 4.-Republicar

the tone of letters they are receiving
from their constituents on the subject
of the high cost of living.
Some Of their correspondents are
threatening. and demand that congress
shall adopt measures designed to bring
to terms combinations that are alleged
to be unlawfully maintaining high

ceived by Western members state in
substance that the people are not talk

sion among the people, 1t is de-
clared, is confined to the excessive
prices Of foodstuffs and members are
informed that there is an insistent
demand that congress shall adopt re.
lief measures. ". =. -.
Criticism is also heard of the as.
signment of the inquiry into the cost
of living to the house committee on
ways and means and the senate com.
mittee on finance. These are the com.
mittees that framed the Payne-Aldrich
tariff act. 1t is urged that members of
these committees have already stated
that the tariff has nothing to do with
the cost of living. .s5-. e. ~
It is suggested that the Investigation
should be placed in the hands of men
who will go into it impartially and
who have not already expressed opin-
ions as to whether or not prices are
affected by the tariff.
An effort will be made by many
Western Republicans to secure the ap.
pointment of special committee to
inquire into the subject. =

the increasing cost of living by spe-
cial committee of five senators was "a
