The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1911-08-18

III ASHINGTON.-The high cost OF
w living is becoming live topic
again. Much of the mail that comes
to members of congress daily deals
with the subject. Constituents of SEN
ators and representatives are saying
that If the legislative body can do any
thing to bring prices of the neces-
saries of life down, it ought to do 1t.
Among public men there is very gen.
eral agreement that the topic will be
to the front in the presidential cam
paign next year.
James Wilson, secretary Of agricul-
ture, has come forward with the sug-
gestion that every large municipality
ought to take up the cost of living
problem. He thinks the problem OF
reducing the cost of living is one
that must be settled by municipalities.
Federal legislation can. he declares,
at best do but little toward bringing
prices down.
The secretary is trying to persuade
the leading citizens of the national
capital to get in behind an inquiry
here as to why things people have to
buy are so high. He has notion
that II Washington would conduct an
investigation that resulted in obtain
ing cheaper food for the people, other
cities would soon become interested.
Secretary Wilson suggests that
President Taft appoint commission
to study the situation here at the ma

Huge Guns Will Shoot Fifteen Miles

THINK of a gun which will hurl
i 1,400-pound projectile through nine
inches of the best face-hardened steel
Is miles away from where it is fired!
This is what Uncle Sans new 14-inch
guns will do. They will shoot beyond
the horizon. In other words, the
range of the monsters with which the
two new battleships, New York and
Texas, will be equipped is greater
than it is possible to see a target the
size of ship of the Delaware type.
Under the most favorable conditions
not even the tall masts of the Della
ware could be seen from a ship of the
same size Is mile away. And the
new 14-inch gun is effective at that
range.
The navy department has just COM
pleted successful test of the gun
and work will go forward at once in
the Washington factory to make the
20 huge weapons needed for the two
vessels.
The recent tests made with the
naval service 12-inch gun on the old
battleship Texas in Chesapeake bay
showed that the efficiency of the gun
makers had reached a high state.
These 12-inch guns literally made a
sieve of the Texas at range of 12,-
900 yards, or six miles. 1t was the
