III ASHINGTON.-The high cost Of
W living is becoming a 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 it.
Among public men there is very gen
eraI 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 a notion
that if 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
