UNIONS AND HIGH COST OF LIVING.

r ELIEVlNG that agitation through an organ4
~ izaton is the best and most hopeful method
Of ascertaining the cause of the high cost of lv-
ing and applying a remedy if possible leading
men in organized labor have begun a movement
which they think will successfully combat high
prices
President Lynch Of the International Tvpo-
graphical Union has announced from Indianapolis
that Cost of Living Leagues will be formed in,
every city where labor is organized. The league,
which has already been started in the Indiana cap
ital. will join with the cooperative buying organ
ization of that city.
hll the remedies so far proposed center around
the idea of cooperative buying-the knocking out
OF the middleman and his supposed high profits.
Not long ago convention Of grangers was held in
New York at which the question of the excessive
cost OF living was discussed. The grangers fay-
ored direct dealing with the consumer They con-
tended that too much profit goes TO the middle
man
The problem Of the high cost Of living is really
acute. The interest Of the workingman is espe-
ciay keen for their opinion is that the increase in
wages has not kept pace with the high cost of liv-
ing But It the workingmen are affected so also
are the vast number of persons employed on sal
aries which rarely 1t ever are increased and the
persons with fixed incomes are also hard hit
The scheme OF having organized labor take up
the matter IS splendid. No doubt the only hope OF
reducing the cost of living is through agitation bv
effective organization. A few citizens here and
there, unorganlzed may grumble and growl at the
high prices but their complaints will be ineffee-
tive unless they find expression through organiza-
ton. The best kind of organization is not a tran
STORY but permanent such as the labor
union The unions, we think will come near solv-
ing the problem and applying a remedy if it is
possible to do At any rate, they should be able
to throw light on the subject such as investigat-
ing committees. biased more or less by political
considerations have been unable to do

COMPETITION OR COMBINATION.

~NE of the most important Investigations that
- Congress has undertaken for many years be-
gan at Washington today with the hearing by the
Senate Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce. Big business is to be investigated, ana
the question before the committee is whether there
shall be competition or combination. II there Is
TO be competition, according to one OF the Sena-
tors. the aim of Congress will be to protect and
If there is to be combination, TO regulate It, In
other words the committee is TO seek light on
whether the future of big business in the country
is to be with competition or combination
The principle of competition, which has been the
orthodox economic principle for ages, is under
FIRE. Captains of big business, most OF them, say
that there must be combination that it is the natu-
raj development of big business, the proper and
inevitable outcome of the huge growth of capital
and the conduct Of industry on large scale. Some
OF these captains agree to the proposal that such
huge combinations of capital should be regulated,
but those who look askance at this kind OF talk
reply that the captains really mean that they favor
regulation if they do the regulating them
selves. or il they control the government which
does the regulating
The Socialist doctrine also is that huge COM
binations of capital are the result of the evolu-
tionary process, that competition is played out"
and they contend that big business should be own
ed and controlled by the government that is by
the people Their argument differs from that OF
some OF the captains OF business only IN that the
later oppose government ownership. It is how
ever. vast difference.
On the other hand, many thoughtful persons
including President Taft, believe that competition
can be restored and the object OF the suits brought
by the government against the trusts is to re-
store competition.
A host of the leading men Of the country will
appear as witnesses before the Senate Committee
and the testimony and the conclusions of the COM
mitee should form an important contribution to
that part Of economic science which profoundly
affects the welfare Of our country and directly
concerns each of its inhabitants for the investi-

ness and social and in fact every other kind Of

seems 10 be in favor of razing the
Court House to make way for an inn
proved building that would answer

mote the purchase OF the Court House

OHIO pROGRESSIyES.

IT HE recent election in Ohio indicates that the
Il state of presidents is fast becoming progress
sive for members of that school of political thought
captured the constitutional convention. On the
other hand, a convention of Republican Progress
sives held in Cleveland recently refused TO indorse
Senator LaFoette for the nomination for Presi-
dent They we're unwilling to stake the future of
the progressive movement on the Endorsement of
one man. The Progressives of Ohio seem to be
determined to work in party lines.
Really the administration ofTaft has many things
TO commend it TO the progressives. A long step for
ward has been taken to place the tariff on a busi-
ness-like basis; many suits have been brought
against the trusts; America has been placed in the
lead in the movement for universal peace.
These performances are in striking contrast with
those Of some previous presidents who we're long
on promises and noise, but quite short on actual
performance.

made return the other day stating that his ex-
penses were Sl692S but the statement was sent

cfc. For example, the Governor Jumped S345 for
travelling expenses, railroad fares, automobiles
and hotels but the Governor will have to put
down the names of those who received the money
The statement of Mr.. Foss shows that it is still
very expensive for a man to aspire to high polit-
ical honors Even such amount as that ex-
pended by the Governor which is not considered
excessive, practically bars a man Of moderate
means from seeking to be Governor of Massa-
