GOLD DEPRECIATION IS
CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES,
SAYS ". |. DOUGLAS
Believes Conditions Are Aggra-
waited by Bad Tariff and
Banking Legislation
PROMPT ACTION is NEEDED
Former Governor of Massachu-
setts Says Congress Must
Pass Remedial Laws
PROMPT ACTION is NEEDED

BROCKTON, Sept. 30.-Ex-Goy
William L. Douglas, OF Massachusetts,,
has very decided opinions In regard
to the causes and effects Of the high
cost of living and of the great need
for better banking, currency and
credit legislation. He thinks that gold
depreciation Is the worldwide cause
of high prices and discomfort and that
the conditions In this country are az
gravated by bad tariff and banking
legislation. He fears serious indus
trial, financial and political troubles
unless congress takes prompt action
on these matters.
Present conditions" he says, ARE
remarkable In many ways, not only
In this country but in all countries.
In spite OF invention and OF better
and cheaper methods of production,
the cost of living has, in the last 10
years, risen so to 60 per cent In this
country and from 80 to so per cent In
most other countries. The value OF
farm lands in this country has more
than doubled in 10 years. WITH
more capital and greater banking
facilities than ever before, the money
rate of interest Is now extraordinarily
high, while the prices OF high-grade
bonds, all over the world, are lower
today than they have been In genera
tions. Notwithstanding that money
wages are higher than ever before,
workingmen In all countries are dis
satisfied and discontented. Because
of higher wages, higher materials and
higher rates for capital, the cost Oh
production has, in most industries,
risen more rapidly than have the
prices of finished products. This rs
especially true of my own business
the shoe, industry. AS a result mar
ufactWing and mercantile profits
have dwindled to the vanishing point.
Hence, we find the same unrest and
discomfort on the part of employers
as with their employees. In all coun-
tries we find uncertainty and instaDll-
ity and conditions favorable for agita-
ton, strikes, riots, rebellions AND
wars. Industrial, political and even
religious institutions are challenged
on all sides and momentous changes,
both good and bad, seem near at hand.
''It is clear to me that gold deprecl-
alton is responsible for the world
wide advance in prices just as high
prices are responsible for high wages,
high interest, low profits, discomfort,
etc. Gold is cheap because 1t Is more
plentiful than ever before. Its supply
is increasing faster than are the sup
plies OF other products because its
cost of production Is relatively cheap
er. That is, the profits OF producing
gold are today greater than are the

WASHINGTON, Sept. S0.-The
most sweeping investigation OF Big
Business" in politics ever held In the
United States was begun today by
special senate committee. Financial
and political giants of the nation are
awaiting witness-stand ordeals.
How far has Big Business" gone
in influencing legislation in both the
senate and house?
What senators and representatives
have been in intimate correspondence
with trust" heads?
How much money have gigantic
corporations given to influence nom
nations and elections?
These are some of the principal
questions to be brought out by scores
of witnesses ordered to appear before
the committee.
The investigation today Is being
conducted by a select committee OF
five senators under authority OF the
so-called "Penrose resolution" passed
by the senate last August, just before
congress adjourned. Senator Clapp,
, the Minnesota Progressive, is chair
man. other committeeman are Sena-
tors oliver (Rep., Pa, Jones (Rep.,
Wash), Pomerene (Dem., o., and
Paynter Dem., KyO.
Senator LaFollette, OF Wisconsin,
widened the scope OF the probe be-
gun today by succeeding, during the
ante-adjournment fight last August, in
directing that the committee inquire
into all correspondence affecting
!, lsgislati1E between senator's and rep
resentatives. The original resolution
OF Senator Penrose contemplated
merely an inquiry into the amount OF
money contributed to campaign funds
by corporations and financial leaders.
Long before the hour set for be-
ginning the hearings today, the judici-
ary committee room in the senate Of
fee building was jammed to sufioca-
tion. Fashionably gowned women
struggled with scores Of prominent
and obscure citizens for seats. An
