LIVING COSTS

live today than it did ten years
IL ago? is a question that many cur
ious people have doubtless often wished
| to knew. Figures compiled by the
United states bureau of labor and re-
Gently given out answer the query and
arc full of interest. They show that in
1909 the price of beef was 80 per cent
higher than the average from 1890 to
1900.
Bread showed an increase of "a per
cent.
Butter showed an increase of 35 per
cent.
Coffee showed an increase of S.6 per
cent.
EGGS showed an increase of AZ per
cent.
Flour showed an increase of 54 per
cent.
Mix showed an increase Of Al per
cent.
Mutton showed an increase of 50 per
| cent.
Fresh pork showed an increase of 6S
per cent.
GdlI PORK anu BclNOlA ollph CO al III
crease Of so per cent.
Ham showed an increase of 45 per
cent.
Potatoes showed an increase of 20 per
cent.
Veal showed an increase of 80 per
cent.
The average is about 80 per cent, and
prices are higher in 1910 than they were
last year. The New York World, ap-
plying the figures TO its city, calcu-
lates that New York is paying $780,
900 more a day or s66OOO,OOO a year
more for meat than q decade ago.
The city of Los Angeles has about
one-twelfth the population of the me-
tropolis Taking the above figures,
which are doubtless approximately
correct for this city-conservative, if
anything-it is apparent that
Los Angeles is paying $4,000 a day, or
81, 100000 a year. more for eggs than
in 1900.
1t is paying $1.0OO,OOO more for butter.
1t is paying $25O,OOO more for pota-
toes.
It is paying $8,5OO,00O more for the
other articles of food.
These figures are based on the esti-
mate that New York spends $780,
600 day for food and that Los An
geles spends one-twelfth of that. If,
as the World estimates, New York is
paying 5000, 600, 900 more a year for food
a HnPada
Los Angeles is paying at the rate or
$45, 900 a day higher or a total yearly
of nearly $17,OOOOOo.
Of course, there can be no accurate
comparison as to this city because it
is 200 per cent larger than it was dec
ade ago, but the people here were liv-
ing somewhere, and the figures may be
applied to them as an aggregation OF
individuals who make up the conmun-
ity now here.
With this startling showing must be
| considered also the great increase of
prices on other necessaries of household
economy raised by the trusts. 1t is
easy to call to mind a number that
have been raised from 80 to 100 per
cent, and few commodities in the con-
troll of monopolies have been increased
less than % per cent-generally more.
The truth probably is that living is
today at least so per cent more, while
wages have not increased anywhere
near that ratio, and the purchasing
power of money has lessened owing to
the large increase in the supply of
gold in the last decade.
The cause for the situation that is
croWding the poor of the country ser
iously is a matter on which there are
various opinions, but without doubt
the prime cause is legislation that has
been passed to bulwark "big business
and enable it to charge what prices it
pleases.

FRANCHISE ABsURDITIEs

Editor Herald: 1 would like to ask
why the gift of the franchise should
not be bestowed according to personal
qualifications, irrespective of color, sex
or race. Is it not more than absurd
that the most ignorant negro or nat
uralized foreigner should have the priv
iIege of voting, while a woman like
Ella Flagg Young, head of the Chi
cago public schools, intrusted with the
education of thousands of future cit
izens, should be denied that privilege?
Again, l would like to say, why should
it not be a question of fitness rather
than of sex or color?

The Morris Independents played
their first game of the season last
Wednesday taking the Morris High
School into camp by score of 4 to 1,
The game was played in the evening
and only seven innings could be play
ed. There was some fast playing on
both sides. Klevjer and Treischel
starred for the high school. The heavy
hitting of Munro and Bloom won for
the Independents. The fans who
went out to the fair grounds were
treated to an exhibition of some of
the fine points of the game. The In
dependents ran in enough runs in the
second inning to win the game. They
got three that inning and one in the
last inning. Another game will be
played with the high school some
time next week. The Independents
expect to have a game this coming
Sunday with one of the fast country
teams.
