REASONS why PRESENT
PRICES ARE so HIGH.
Baltimore Committee Finds Many
Causes For Increasing Costs.

1.-THE high cost of living Is a complex
problem made up of many elements,
some natural. some artificial. For its
solution a congress should be held Of
all the states and territories and rep
%resentatives of the federal government,
and some united action should be TAX
en- looking to a remedy or remedies for
the artificial aus Of high prices.
which can and should be remedied."
With this preamble the report of the
Baltimore committee appointed by the
city wide congress to investigate the
high cost Of living was presented to
the congress.
The report covers fourteen typewrit-
ten pages and goes thoroughly into the
cause for the soaring prices and sug-
gests a number of remedies.
Summarized. the report says that
prices have been raised for the follow
ing reasons:
Increased supply of gold.
Price control Of exchanges and agree
ments.
Tariff on foodstuffs and other prod
ucts.
Abuse of cold storage to help corner
markets.
Decreased amount of labor on farms
and consequent increase in wages.
Decrease of truck farms and farming
around the city.
Excessive profits by middlemen, due
to too many small shops and too much
handling between producer and con
sumer.
Too much purchase on credit at ad-
vanced prices.
Inadequate transportation to proxi-
mate farming districts. especially in
winter.
Bad roads and inadequate repair of
same.
Short weights and inadequate con.
troll Of scales and measures.
Abuse of patent laws.
Architects making no provision in
modern houses for storage of goods.
Telephones. resulting in ordering on
credit without bargaining for price.
%1nadequacy Of facilities.
Too high charges and improper con-
ditions of our city markets.
Growing NERVOUSNESS of the people.
which eliminates careful. businesslike
housekeeping and shopping.

Not Obliged to Hold Out Hand Like a

A wife is a regular employee Of her
husband and as such is entitled to a
regular salary. according to Judge
Goodnow Of the court Of domestic re-
lations, Chicago.
No longer is it necessary that she go
through his pockets in order to get
change. When Mr.. Husbands pay day
comes Mrs. Wife may demand her
share and be backed by the municipal
courts in her demands.
Mrs. Thomas Martin told Judge
Goodnow her husband never had given
her any money since they had been
married.
"She never asked me for any," pro-
tested the husband.
"She does not have to-" answered the
judge. IA wife is not obliged to fol-
low her husband about like a monkey
with her hand out asking for money.
She is entitled to a fair proportion of
bis wages. l will see that she gets it.

Judge Robert Woodrow Archibald
of the United States commerce court.
whose relation to the Katydid culm
bank transaction has been under in
vestigation by the house judiciary
committee, has had q long experience
as a jurist. The allegation against
Judge Archibald vas that he and a
friend recently bought from the Erie
railroad for $500 a culm heap at the
Katydid mine. near Moosic, Pa, and
contracted to sell it to the Lackawanna
and Wyoming Valley electric line for
$500 1t is complained that this al
legged transaction, arranged since Judge
Archibald went on the commerce
court. disqualifes him from sitting on
that bench, inasmuch as the Erie is a
frequent litigant there.
A native of Pennsylvania. sixty-four
years old, and a graduate of Yale.
Judge Archibald was appointed a Judge
of the court of common pleas Of Penn
sylvania in 1887. In 1901 he was ap-
pointed by the president as one Of the
United States district judges in the
new middle district Of Pennsylvania.
President Taft in December, 1910.
nominated Judge Archibald for the pro-
posed commerce court. The nomina-
ton was held up a long time, and so
was the organization of the new tri-
bunal. Meanwhile Judge Archibald cor.
tinued in his federal district j%udgeship.
In November. 1911. when he had
taken his seat on the commerce court
bench, Judge Archibald voted with the
majority in upsetting the interstate
commerce commissions long and short
haul decision against the railroads.
