HIGH LIVING SCORED.
Luxury Attacked BY Senator Burton
as Main Cause.

AZ M8IU N8OSSs
Washington, D. C.-Senator Bur-
ton, of Ohio, explained to the senate
his opinions as to the cause Of the
present high cost of living. The
manifest and important causes, be
said, were the phenomenal progress
of recent years, the striking inequali-
ty of this progress in different lines Of
human endeavor and the tendencies to
extravaganza and waste and to dimin-
ish productive energy by large part
of the population. ("
Neither the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law nor any other similar measure
was responsible for the general high
prices" he declared, "for the varia-
tions in prices have been so very con-
siderable, both in the way Of increase
and decrease, as absolutely to disprove
any inference that the change in
prices has been. due to the tariff of
1909 or to any other tariff act"
He exonerated the trusts" and
s'large combinations of capital, " de-
claring that a complete monopoly in
any particular article affords a chance
to increase its price, but that the
same result is apparent when separate
producers maintain an agreement as
to prices.
Zone of the serious influences tend
ing to increase prices, !" he asserted,
sis that of price agreements Of vari-
GUS sorts. It was one of the purposes
of the Sherman antitrust act to pre-
vent practices of this sort. However.
there can be little doubt that this
practice still continues. !"
Another device resorted to to
eliminate competition, he declared,
twas that Of hiding behind the patent
right" He referred to q recent SUI
preme court decision under which the
'suser of patented article may be re-
quired to buy supplies of certain
make and pay the price imposed. "

GRASS SEEDS FOR PASTURE
Use Mixture of Varieties Best Suited

Most Eurs Wear Long with Care.

Most furs are durable, experts say,
and will last for a long time If guard
I'd from moths, high temperatures and
spring sunshine. A less durable fur is
oroadtail, as it is taken from young
animals. Chinchilla and ermine are
also delicate, both in color and tex
ture and should be carefully treated.
Places that make a speciality of stor-
ing furs keep them at uniform win
ter temperature
