Increased Cost of Living

Representative Paul Rowland has
impressed upon the Rules committee
of the House the necessity for immed
late action on his resolution calling
for an Investigation of the conditions
which are responsible for the in
creased cost of living. The commit
tee was in receptive frame of mind
aud, although no assurances were
given to MIR Howland, it is known
that Speaker Cannon and his associ-
ates contemplate some action 10 de-
termine the cause Of the present high
prices. Mr. Rowland pointed out
that the increased cost OF living is
an evil winch affects the entire coun.

declared that il is the duty Of a Re
publican Congress to inquire into the
the facts and to alleviate the situa-
tion after the facts have been estllb
lished de also asserted that it
would be a serious mistake for the
party 10 go before the country in the

Cost OF Living.

Congress is going to investigate
high prices of food products, aud try
TO determine why 1t costs so much to
live. A bill has been introduced in
the House TO enquire how long differ
ent food supplies, as meats, eggs,
poultry, fish, oysters, butter and
milk can be stored without becoming
unfit to eat, and whether a limit
should not be made as to the time
Eggs it is claimed are stored in the
spring and then kept until prices are
high and sold. The produces receives
none of this advance, it all goes to the
cold storage men, and so with all
other products which are refrigerated
If a limit can be fixed as to length Of
time products may be stored, and

Travelling With Taft

Alfred Aenry Lewis, in the Janu-
ary issue of HUMAN LIFE, continues
TO throw the pitiless searohlight OF
truth on men high in the councils at
Washington whose hands pull the
hidden wires of things political.
The story opens with the stealthy
visit by night of Trust yacht to the
shores of Beverly, the landing Of
four men, and their very evident de-
sire to keep their visit to the Presi-
dents cottage a profound secret.
Their names will cause the reader
10 sit up and take notice. The writ
or refers to one of them as "That
careless one who wrote letters to
Standard Oil Archibald, comforting
that little grimy thumb Of Satan
with tales ofhow he was frightening
Mr.. Roosevelt The leader Of the
quartette he describes as ''rhe right
hand of Money to smother Congress-
ional investigation of its villiaucies,
and forge what law tools are needed
to carry on its rapiDes."
This is the first time in print that
the tale of this Beverly secret confer
ence has been told. but it gives tbs
key to much that President Taft wsI
moved to do and say on his tour. Al
the devious counsels that decided hi
route, and the why's and wherefore'
are clearly snd mercilessly shown :
why the home city of Senator La
Toilette was omitted and why tina
of Mr.. Tawney was included.
The amazing powers welded at tn
Capitol by the moneyed interests SRI
shown. and how rebellion in tn
House from the dictates of the AFRO
CANT Trusts is suppressed with al
iron hand.
The January instaIment of thi
series closes with the President
leave taking at Milwaukee, - tn
next issue takes him to Winona.
Mr.. Lewis does not hesitate to cal
a spade a spade, and the article
written in his inimItable and pictur
esque style, literally spiced wit
humor.

Pinchot Forced Out

After a letter which Forester Pin
ohot sent Senator Dolliver to be read
in the Senate President Taft had but
one course left open, to dismiss the
Forester for nsubordination. 1t was
clearly a case where an official by his
own act compelled such action, and
Taft cannot be blamed for that.
The situation however was such
that Mr.. Plnchot was obliged to take
the method he pursued let the conse-
quences be what they would. His
position was clearly such with respect
20 the fight no was making that it
became necessary for him from his
standpoint to have his side of the
question expressed in such manner
that IL would go before the country
In as forcible & way as possible. He
has devoted his time, energy and
money to advance the principles Of
conservation, to foster that idea
which in the main he originated to
protect and preserve the natural re.
sources OF the country for the people
from the rapacity of those who
would control them for their own
private gain. He was a pioneer,
and like many others who have lived
In advance of their day and genera
tion the country was not prepared for
the advanced position he took. Il
is awakening to the magnitude of
the situation and those who attempt
now to Illustrate his plans will in the
end be discredited and disgraced.
Mr.. Pinohot may not be permitted to
carry on the work as an official but
the plant he has so carefully planted
and whose growth so faithfully
tended will bear fruit for the benefit
OF the nation. His dismissal from
his position will not check the on
Wsrd tendency in the minds of the
people to control their own and pre-
serve the heritage which nature has
given them for their own use. Righl
will prevail and Mr. Pinchot to-day
stands with the American people il
far better light than those who wouiC
nullify his efforts, and as time passe
his services will be recognized NOR,
and more as having been unselfshll
devoted to a principle which mus
prevail. His opponents may triumph
now but in the near future they vii
seek to hide their shame from til,
people whose rights they seek L
Outrage.

State concerns the 80. called sanitary
inspection by Germany of American
food products. Germany has always
insisted on system of rigid iDspec-

which system has been regarded by
authorities Of this government as a
form of protection, Indeed, the
first steps taken by this government
'oward inspection of livestock and
meats were instituted with a view to
,ounterecting the course of Germany.
German citizens we're believed to be
unalterably odposed to a heavy tariff

The sanitary laws that they seriously
interfered with the importation Of
American products. American in
'pection resulted in some modifca.

ports as undue discrimination. The
situation is taxing the diplomatic
