TAFT AND TIM COST on LIVING.

President Taft In a speciat mes
sage TO Congress yesterday urged tho
appointment OF a Federal commission
To make searching inquiry into in
dustrial relations" and asked author
ity 10 call conference for the pur
pose Of investigating the high prices
which have so distressed the people OF
the world"
This suggestion By MIR Taft may be
deemed by some merely shrewd
move 10 win popular favor at time
when he Is In such dire need of such.
but Il seems only fair TO consider
that he is absolutely sincere In lis
expressed desire to determine the oN-
act cause OF steadily mounting prices.
and by SO doing TO lessen the bur
dens and sufferings of the populace.
Should he accomplish the desired
end he will have earned the lasting
gratitude OF the people. which is con
siderably more than timely votes.
Complaint OF high living cost Is not
confined TO the United States alone.
but comes from many nations. and
the Taft plan is to provide relief for
such OF the world as may De most
strongly affected by existing condl-
lions.
But. insofar as this country il con
cerned. he might give attention 20
few little items of expense which Ger
tainly do not tend to lessen the bur
dens Of the people.
