the former accepted the preferential

the principle of the union shop was
adopted. but it was accompanied with

Why the Cost Of Living is Increasing

Just why the cost of food fuel and
clothing has been steadily increasing
has been to many, including President
Taft. an unexplained phenomenon. In
the concluding installment of his series
of exposures of the Southern Pacific
Railroad in .Hampton's Magazine for
October. Charles Edward Russell casts
q searchlight upon one of the chief
causes.
That. in 1877, and eighteen Years af-
ter the completion of the Central Pa
cific the road was taxing shippers So
100000 yearly on the watered part of
its ca pital, and that since then, with in
creased traffic. multiplied lines and
more diluted stock. the company has
many times increased this annual tri-
butte. are amazing facts clearly set
forth. Says Mr.. Russell:
IF the American householder. puZ-
cling over the go per cent increase of
his living expenses in fifteen years,
wants solution of his problem let
him for time contemplate these facts.
Let him also remember that they are
merely typical of the general railroad
condition and need only to be multi
piled into the number of systems to
furnish much OF the s.upendous sum
represented in the augmented cost IF
living For in ten Years the railroad
capitalization of this country. now
eighteen and one-half billion dollars,
has increased seven billion dollars-be-
ing in effect a national debt. the inter-
est of VI hicll is levied upon US as tri-
hute.
How do we pay this tribute
Let us see On Jan. /, 1909 the
transcontinental lines increased tho
freight rates IS per cent on east
bound traffic and little more on west
bound traffic.
Conservative authorities in Caiifor-
nia estimated that this Increase of
rates meant an increase of 100000 900

Ringtailed monkeys, which rank among the most valuable, commercial ly speaking of the small animals, are caught in an interesting way. A CO., coanut is split in two and a banana with piece of wood running through 1t placed lengthwise through the nut the two h,IA'es of which are drawn together by wires. Then a hole is cut just large enough for the monkeys paw to enter. The monkey spies the tempting nut from his tree. He hops down, looks 1t over, sees the hole and smells the banana inside. He is fond of bananas Putting his paw in, he grasps 1t, but the wood prevents it from coming out. Then the catchers appear, and the monkey runs for a tree. But he cannot climb because of the cocoanut on his paw, and he will not let go of that, so he is captured, paving wildly at the tree trunk.

ADDS INSULT TO INJURY.

There is just one thing more for President Taft to do in order to san further outrage the American principles and patriotism of the cit- zeus of Alaska and add insult to in. jury, and that is to appoint either ex. Governor HOggatt or Lewis P. Shack leford a member of his pet com mission for making laws for this ter ritory, says the Cordoya North Star.
 His commission will cost Alaska more than s46,OOO per year. Accord ing to the press dispatches, four commissioners, to be appointed by himself are to draw a salary of s7.5OO per year. And for what? Just to sit in session sixty days each year with the governor and four cleo tive representatives and pass laws which must afterwards be approved by the governor and then by the pres ident The elective representatives o the people. mind you. one to be cho- sen from each judicial district, are to receive pay only for the actual working time of the eOmmission-6O days. They are to receive s25 per day But the presidential appolntees, on the other hand, are to sit around the rest of the year, have their le, gal residence in Alaska and spend the rest of the time outside, if they so desire, and draw salaries the en- tire year.
 When the governors salary is add. cd, sIOOOO a year, a fraction over S25 per day for every day in the year including Sundays, this proposed executive assembly means an annual expense of s46,OOO. This allows mo- thing for the travelling expenses of the elective representatives. The entire legislative session provided for by Delegate Wickersham in his bill for a 50 days session every TWO YEARS would cost but little more than sI2,OOO.
 What has Alaska done, We might ask, to merit such autocra;!c treat, ment at the hands of the executive head of one of the most intensely Republican forms of government?
 This territory has richly rewarded the government for every cent spent on public improvements. Its cable system alone has realized it a pro- 1t of S53O,OOO in six years, after de ductlng the cost of installation and maintenance.
 Alaska has been under the Stars and Stripes for over 40 years. Since the original purchase of S7,2OO,OOO was made it has yielded approxi- mately $500, 1000, 900 in gold, fish, fur and other products. It has prOduc- ed fully S15O,OOO 900 in placer gold; its exports to the United States in 1908 were valued at S26,OOO.OOO and it's total trade with the states for that year amounted to S46,OOO, 900,
 Alaska has been the only selt-sup- porting territory in the United States
 And yet President Taft tells the American citizens of the North land. the producers of all this an- nual wealth and the ones who have made it a country for homes and educational and social ties, that they are not fit to govern themselves, that he will send a commission of his own choosing at cost of s46,OOO per year to show them how it is done, By virtue of his acts and proposed legislative commission, he repudiates the peoples elected representative in Congress and gives them four elective representatives and five ap- pOintiye officials,
