Expensive Horseshoeing.
One hundred and forty dollars for
street car tickets; $237.66 for horse
shoeing, $429.55 for soap and brush
es. These are few of the small ex-
penditures of the state department
OF the government in 1909. The
horseshoeing item is gem as a
sample of the much boasted Taft
policy of "cut-to-the-quick" economy.
The item of $237.66 refers to the
shoeing of four horses for one year.
Tariff Increases Prices.
Prof j. P. Norton, of Yale Uni
versity, declares that the increase
proportionate output of gold" is
not the principal cause of increased
prices. Prices in this country, UNI
der protection, have advanced so
per cent more than in England, I'M
der free trade, he says. In all coun-
tries under the gold standard, the
output of gold must operate uni
formly. Therefore, Prof. Norton
concludes, there must be some spec
ial cause at work in this country.
He suspects it is the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law.
