THE HIGH COST OF LIVING TO
BE INVESTIGATED BY THE
GOVERNMENT.
TO VISIT FARMERS At HOME
Congress to Be Asked to Pay Ex-
penses of Commission Which VIII
Go to Every Farming Gen.
ter in Country.

Washington, D. Glow can the
average farmer be provided with the
ready means to increase the produc-
tion of his land? How can all the
people, and particularly the masses
of people in the great centers of pop
ulation, have the burden of the
steadily increasing cost of food
lifted?
In the opinion Of President Wilson.
Secretary of Agriculture Houston and
the leaders of congress, these two
questions, taken together, form the
most urgent problem now before the
country.
The creation of a subcommittee to
start Immediately on an investigation
of agricultural financing has been
agreed to as the result of recent con-
ferences between President Wilson,
Secretary Houston, Representative
Underwood, Democratic floor leader
in the house, and Representative
Glass, chairman of the banking and
currency committee. A resolution will
committee authority to hold sessions
outside of Washington and providing
for the necessary expenses. The plan
as already outlined is for the commit
tee to start it's investigation in the
Northwest. In all probability the
committee will start from St. Paul
some time within the next two weeks
on tour lasting a month.
The President, Secretary Houston
and the house leaders are agreed that
better results can be. obtained If the
representatives of congress visit the
farmers in their homes and get first
hand impressions of conditions in the
rural sections exactly as they exist.
Investigation of this sort, according
to present plans, will be supplement-
ed by hearings at Washington. The
plan is to visit typical agricultural
centers in every section of the coun-
try, these places largely to be select
ed under the guidance of the depart
ment of agriculture.
For weeks past the present admin
istration has been engaged in the pre-
liminary work of getting nationwide
investigation under way with a view
to definite proposals for the solution
of the agricultural and food problem.
The investigation, so far as 1t han
progressed, has convinced the inter-
ested Washington officials that the
urban and rural population will unite
in an effort to bring about a read

keting methods without which, In che

strange figure appeared in Wall

dered with the crowds that roared
between the towering buildings A
tall. strong man with brown, shaven
face, NapOleonic features and sin
gle fierce eye. The black SLOUGH hat
was pulled down in front and turned
up behind. There never was a more
striking figure seen in the citadel Of
the milliOnaires, nor one of deeper
significance. AS he stood in front of
the subtreasury grimly eyeing the
Office of j. Pierpont Morgan. few
men turned around to look a second
time at the dark. almost savage
countenance. But none in that vast
restless multitude seemed TO recog-
nize Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman
