TO REDUCE LIVING COST.
Underwood Bill Will Not Disturb
Business Conditions.
lBY CLYDE H. Tavenner.)


Washington, May 2.-The re-
port on the Ways and Means Com
mittee on the Underwood tariff bill
has been published. For the bene-
fit of those who talk tariff with
their neighbors, l will give briefly
some of the salient facts brought
out in the report.
Since 1897 the wholesale prices
of all commodities used by the
American people have advanced an
average of AZ per cent. But some
of the prime necessities of life
have advanced much beyond that
average For instance, farm pro-
ducts have increased SO per cent.
ir price Other food products have
increased At per cent. The in
creased cost of clothing is SO per
cent and house furnishings "a per
cent.
At the same time there have
been growing up under the foster
inc care of successive protective
tariff laws gigantic trusts dealing
in the necessities of life. The I'm
derwood report names 224 of these
industrial combinations with a total
capitalization of nearly nine billion
dollars.
Another effect of prohibitive
tariffs is the resultant waste OF
the natural resources of the United
States-resource which when once
exhausted, can never be restored.
With foreign timber, ores and min
erals barred from importation by
the prohibitive duties, we have
been exhausting our own at a
ruinous rate.
While industries within the coun-
try are rapidly becoming monopo-
lized and competition is being
smothered, there has been no spur
of foreign competition to make
our trusts adopt the most efficient
manufacturing methods. Obsolete
plants, old machinery and out-of-
date methods, which have practical
ly been eliminated in foreign coun-
tries, exist in this country. This
is waste, and the public pays for
every dollar of it.
In the new bill the rates on
perfumes, fine chinaware, automo-
tiles, jewelry, tobacco, oriental rugs
Paris hats and other luxuries have
been increased or maintained. The
present rates on such necessities as
| lumber, soap, cutlery, sugar, meat,
| flours, cotton and wool, clothing, pa
Ler and shoes have been greatly
reduced, or done away with alto
gether. Necessities placed on a
free list will make a total annual
saving to the American consumer OF
close to 100000 while there
will be other vast savings in du-
ties which have been reduced.
The Committee, however, recog-
rizes that even in inefficient fac
tories there are workmen who must
| be protected from the hardships OF
a business panic. So the revision
has been made gradual, so that
! these factories may gradually be-
come efficient

Des Moines, Aug. 3o.-A very large
element in the filing UP OF the refor-
matories and prisons OF the state is
found by the parole board TO De that
of domestic troubles affecting child
hood.
The state parole board in going
over the various records OF persons a,
Fort Madison and Ananlosa has found
that in much larger proportion ,nan
usually supposed the delinquency o.
the culprit can be traced to either his
own troubles AT home or that 2t his
parents or 70 divorce courts. The par
ole board few days ago considered
a typical case Of this kind 1t Mas The
case OF southern young man about
30 years old who is in one Of the Iowa
institu tons for a ten year period. Tie
board finally got into com munication
with the boys mother and she wrote
then truly pathetic, frank letter, CIV
ing his life history and disclosing the
real reason for the young mans down
fall. She stated plainly. and apparently
without any feeling, that the rea! cause
Of his downfall was his OWL father.
The young man had started OF.
early TO earn something for himself
and entered a store where he haao!eo
toys, and she states she soon found ne
was bringing some OF Them home
without authority. She rep-ir2aaaed
him but declared that the BOYS attn

father was the boys worst enemy.
that ne had &c patience with him. that
