CUSSING THE COST

And now newspapers and legisla-
lures and congresses and councils and
labor unions and sociological societies
and settlement houses are going 20
find out the cause OF the high cost
OF living.
The farmer is thler' will oe one

The housewife is a fool will be

The American citizen is a glutton"
will be another verdict: he wastes

The butcher will be subpenaed and

mlllionaires. But their securities are
not measured by their mills and
mines, but by the monopoly OF the
trade. And when the farmer is made
10 pay for his wire fence AND some
interest on watered bonds and stocks,
he naturally has to charge more for
his produce.
Similarly the beef trust and the
the leather and the wool and sugar
and the -four trusts must each earn
dividends on watered stock. and to do
so must boost prices.
And when materials go up and food
goes up. then men and factories not
in trusts must boost their prices.
So we are all gouging each other
in self-defense.
And II is all necessary not because
labor and land and machinery and
buildings and rain and sunshine and
