ALL EUSSED UP

Even Renick Dunlap, state dairy
and food commissioner, got in bad on
the high cost Of living probe. He
started in to pursuade the legisla-
ture to defeat an appropriation for
carrying on the investigation.
He has been spoken Of as an avail
able man for President Taft to put
in his cabinet as secretary of agri-
culture when Secretary Wilson walks
the plank.
Wilson has been opposed to food
probes for some reason yet unknown
TO the general public. Dunlap prot,
ably thought he would have 20 ap-
proach the secretaryship of agricul-
ture from the same angle-to OBJ
tain favor with the president.
But after considerable oratory, In
which both Republican and Demo-
cratic members of the house opposed
the appropriation and other mem
bers on both sides favored 1t, the
proposed appropriation of $4,000
was cut in two and then passed by
a divided vote on both sides,
Before this was done, however,
Dunlap was called in to explain why
he was opposing the probe. He gave
as his excuse that it would hurt the
farmer and he wanted TO spare the
farmer-oh, he wanted to be SO good
to the farmer. Then 1t was pointed
out to him that the investigation
would actually render valuable SER
vice to the farmer because it would
show that the farmer is not to blame
for the present high PRICES. That
fixed Dunlap and he yielded
All this rumpus because the chair
man of the probe committee. Senator
Williams, a Republican editor, de-
clared at the beginning that the com

Dunlap may he excused If he thought
that the committee could not pursue
such course to shield the &. o. p,
without casting all the odium on the
farmer.
Which comes back 60 the begin
ming again and sustalns the position
taken by Governor Harmon in his

stating that there Ia too much diff
ference between prices paid to the

HIGH PRICES TO
HASTEN CRISIS
Professor Fisher AmpIlIleS His
Gold Production Theory.
EXACT DATE NOT DETERMINED

Would Not Be Surprised II 1t Comes
In 1918, but, Using Rising Prices Of
1857 and Panic Of 1866 as Basis.
Next Industrial Upheaval Should
Appear Not Later Than 1916-Meat
Boycott May Prove Beneficial to
Public Health.
New Haven, Conn, Feb. TN ex-
PLANTATION of the theory that the chief
cause of the present rise in prices
was the increase In gold, as eXpound-
ed to his class in Yale last week, Pro-
fessor Irving Fisher has given out an
other statement. in which he says:
"One of the curious incidents of the
situation is the meat boycott; espe-
cially as meat, though the most ex-
pensive and perhaps one Of the least
wholesome parts of our diet, Eas not
risen as far as other prices. The
temporary going without meat will,
Of course, effect no permanent drop
in prices. But it will not be surpris-
ing If those who now find it so hard
to give meat up should conclude-as
have so many people already-that
abstinence from it leaves them better
off, or at any rate that they are bet
ter off without as much meat as
Americans ordinarily use. In other
words, an incidental consequence Of
the rise in prices may be perma-
nent reduction in the quantity Of
meat consumed.
What Statistics Show.
"The statistics of the department OF
agriculture do in fact show that there
has been falling off In the consump-
tion Of meat for years. Mr.. Wiley Is
quoted as saying that this will result
in making 'mollycoddles' of us. But
no such danger seems likely. 1t is
true sudden or complete abstinence
Is often hurtful. But reduction in
its use and a substitution OF cheese,
nuts, peas and beans, milk and eggs,
If they can be afforded, have been
found greatly to improve health as
well as decrease the cost of living.
I'VE are now in just such a period
of rising prices as was experienced
after 1857. We have every reason to
expect another crisis such as that Of
1866. This will be the elimination of
the present rise in prices. Paradox
ically the more clearly this is seen
today the less likely . is to happen
or at least the less Violent it will be
when it comes.
mo fixed date can be assigned, but
judging from the rapid rate al which
the storm Is brewing the crisis may
be expected sooner after 1907 than
the crisis of 1865 was after 1857, that
Is, less than nine years. While 1t
should not be surprising should the
crisis occur in 1913, 1t is also true
that there Is SO much more intelli.
gence today Of economic matters that
business men will trim their sails tp
meet It,"
