Useful Suggestions Made.

The consumer who has no footing in the
arbitration court and does not as a rule
make his voice heard with much effect
outside Of 1t, has borne his share Of the
burden with meekness. But he can see
that IL the increased cost Of living justi-
fies a raise in wages, a raise in wages
certainly tends to increase the cost Of
living. If the royal commission has not
indicated the way Of escape from this
circular reasoning, 1t has at any rate
complied valuable collection of facts
and made some useful suggestions.
The principal causes assigned by the
commissioners for the increased cost Of
living are: % The increase in the sup
ply OF money and in the velocity of its
calculations: (2) the increased cost of pro-
duction of food products and the in
creased demand for foodstuffs; 60 rural
depopulation abroad and the slackened
rate of production of fOodstuffs in cOun-
tries such as the United States; "a local
combinations, monopOies and trusts. The
commissioners are satisfied that 1.-The cost
of living in New Zealand has risen much
more than the rise in the supplies of
gold and Of money generally would ex-
plain"
The most definite and Immediately prac-
ticable Of the remedies suggested is the
abolition Of the duty on all foodstuf8s
and on the necessaries OF life used by
the primary producers.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand,

WELLINGTON, New Zealand.
October 20, 1912.
The royal commission. appointed to in
vestigate the cost of living in New Zea-
land, has made it's report.
Like most other civilized countries.
New Zealand has recently suffered a good
deal from an increase in the cost of liv-
ing. The chief sufferers have. of course,
been the recipients Of small fixed in
comes but the lOudest and most articu-
late complaints have been those of the
wage earners who have access to the ar
bitration court. The rise lin rent and in
the cost Of food and clothing have been
cited as a reason why the rate of wages
fixed by an award Of five or ten years
ago should be raised. The plea has often
prevailed, but sometimes the contention
of the employer that the same causes
W hich have increased the cost of living
have so increased his working expenses
that to enlarge his wages bill! would put
an end to profits has held the workers
plea in check. Where the employer can
pass on the burden to the pubic, and
even make an extra profit out OF the
transaction, he has sometimes offered a
quite inadequate resistance to the de-
mands of the worker.

OPENING Of THE
PANAMA CANAL
WILL BE A WORLD HELPER AND
GLORIOUS CREDIT TO THE
UNITED STATES.

Washington. June 12.--"rhe opening
of the Panama Canal will be a grand
world helper, the glorious credit of
which will belong to the United
States" said Senator John Sharp Will
liams of Mississippi. in a conversation
about the big enterprise and the
method of its operation.
L; has been a splendid engineering
feat, which will never be forgotten,
but the greatest of all things in con-
nection with its building is in the
contemplation that its importance
reaches, like the beams of the sun, far
beyond the range of the immediate
local benefits which we as a CONNER
cial nation may enjoy. 1t will draw
the family of nations closer together,
to better understanding of each 9th
er, and consequently and necessarily
will stimulate international trade
anew.
While ! do not look for any mar
velous returns on the investment at
any time IN the near future, believing
that the advantages VIII accrue more
in sentiment than substance, yet the
accomplished fact will everywhere on
the globe speed the plow,' as did the
discovery of America with the imagi-
nations of all the old world radiant
with visions of vast treasures to be
found.

Guilty in operating the canal. Ger
tainly a people-our people-who can
so perfectly and grandly solve the
problem of construction will not fail
TO work out in good time a sound

IS that we have done it for the world.
