DANISH METHODS URGED TO
CHECK COST OF LIVING.

The Herald gives space to por-
ton of an article of series in the
Chicago Record Herald dealing with
the high cost of living. Most of the
articles have shown that the increas-
ed cost is largely attributable to the
middle men-commission men. 1t
used to be that farmers shipped di-
rect to the retail merchants but now
their products have to pass through
channel of commission men who
rake in the profits. The Herald has
called attention to this at different
times. 1t means that great organi-
cations will have to be effected
among the farmers of the country
establishing ware houses in the large
distributing centers where retail mer-
chants can buy direct at cost with
margin for cost of handling. The
writer in the Record Herald says:
Why should the city try to stop the
smoke nuisance in order to make it
easier to breathe, but neglect TO in
terfere with market juggling in order
to make it easier to eat.
The questions are in nowise unique
or original. Other cities have TAX
en- them up, some long time ago ana
others only in recent years, but Chi
cago as municipality has not even
awakened to the need Of studying the
conditions thoroughly.
When old Rip Van Winkle does
come out of his sleep and takes up
the problem of improved marketing
methods, he will, provided he has not
forgotten how to read during his long
slumber, find some interesting read
ing in the cities and villages act. Here
are some Of the powers conferred on
the city which will probably increase
in Importance the longer and higher
high cost continues:
To establish markets and market
houses and provide for the regula-
ton and use thereof.
To regulate the sale OF meats,
poultry, fish, butter, cheese, lard,
vegetables and all other provisions
and to provide for place and manner
of selling the same.
To prevent and punish forestalling
and regrating.
In connection with the matter of
municipal markets, which we should
understand operate more as n supple
ment to the present retail system
than as substitute for it. open COM

regulate prices in the retail stores and

an hour at Malmaison, the chateax
occupied by the Empress Josephine
after the divorce and by Napoleon
himself at an earlier period. 1t is
filled with all sorts of interesting
things-the coronation chair, the
camp bed and chairs and folding writ

in which Josephine rode away from
Paris.

later Marie Antoinette and the town

the subject of grazing homesteads-

to us of our necessity of good roads.
Rev. Father Callahan when called up

few well chosen, choice remarks, deli
cately, neatly.
Hon. John w. Wingate ably an
nounced his views in the matter Of
"Good Roads," an agricultural station
and federal fish hatchery to be To-
Gated here. Tom Hamor responded to
a call in his direct manner, natural
to him, the local fish hatchery and
the advantage of a federal one here.
Many others were asked by Mr.. Pull
liam, the presiding officer, to voice
their views but as the real object
of ths meeting was to hear Congress-
man Taylor, thcy declined and Mr..
Taylor then took the floor and spoke
not Grated, using English as she 10
