Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-09-21

Why is the cost Of living higher in
Atlanta than in any other city of
the United States, Boston alone ex-
cepred?
Careful and widespread investiga-
ton by the Federal Government, i'm
partially distributed throughout the
Union, places Atlanta right near the
top notch as an expensive city in
which to live. and although eXplana-
lions of this unsavory indictment
have been many and varied, no one
Of them has seemed to explain com
pletely and convincingly.
And yet, there must be some rea-
son why the cost of living is rela-
lively so high in Atlanta-in Allan
ia where, of all places, II should be
at least as reasonable as the average,
if not below the average, taking into
consideration the very many advan-
tages Atlanta unquestionably has as a
place of residence.
Some of Atlanta's marletmen
frankly admit that the Governments
figures do Atlanta no injustice what
ever. They say the cost of living is
high in this city. and that they can
not help tor, at least, If they can
the way has not yet been shown
them.
Other marketmen vehemently deny
that there is anything whatever about
Atlantas marketing situation that
differentiates it conspicuously or IN
fayorably from any other city, and
that the Government figures simply
make a mountain out of a mOlehill,
to Atlanta's senseless disCredit.
Various reasons are assigned for
the high cost Of living in the Gate
City of the South.
High Living Blamed.
Atlanta people merely are high
livers, and pay the price because it
suits them to do just that. the farm
ers do not diversity their crops suf-
ficiently to make Georgia Independent
of the outside world, which they
might do easily enough; Georgia
farmers do not raise beef and for that
reason the city is dependent upon the
West for its meat supply and this
runs up the cost of living tremen-
dously; rents are abnormally high in
Atlanta, and the merchants have to
add to their margin of expense suf-
ficiently to take care of the rent, of
course, and this the consumer neCes-
Barily pays; cotton crowds all other
lines of agricultural industry so close
ly that many foodstuffs must be OBJ
tanned from sources beyond the State
at higher rate of expense than
would be entailed if wheat, oats and
corn were raised ut home; butter,
that might be made in Georgia, IS not
made here in particularly apprecia-
BILE quantity, and that keeps the price
of butter mp; freight rates are dis
criminatory, and people do not shop
intelligently anyway.
Whatever the cause may be for the
high cost of living in Atlanta, how
ever, one thing seems to stand out
Undisputed-the cost Of living is some
high, all right,
Indeed. there is no topic in which
the public, the home makers, espe-
ciallv, is so vitality and compellingly

ply that Atlanta is an extreme ex-
ample Of how this universal law op-
crates.
Atlanta is the center Of a great ag-
ricultuTal region. The city should
live on its surrounding territory. But
because this territory is devoted al
most exclusively to the growing of
one crop and that crop one which
can not be eaten, there is a shortage
of food in Atlanta which perhaps is
more acute than in almost any other
city. Food has to be brought here,
at high expense. Such expenses are,
of course, an economic waste.
Doubtless there are other factors
which explain Atlanta's high prices.
This, I think, is the greatest.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-09-21

any other has been the drift from the
farms 70 the cities There are fewer
producers of the fundamental things
of life and more consumers. Prices
inevitably rise.
This has been going on for cen
turtles. Just now the condition is
acute. We are beginning to feel the
pinch. I believe these things go in
cycles. There will be a return to
normal.
The general, worldwide law, then.
is that under production of farm
products, foods, causes high prices.

living in Atlanta is exceeded in only

Boil WeeUH Will Cut Aantas Cost of Living Economist Believes

Atlanta's high cost Of living prob

ries certainly have not. We're hard

close attention. It's a personal as
well as an academic matter"
Atlanta's predicament can not be
considered apart from worldwide
conditions. says the economist.

created a worldwide situation where

81 do think, however, that the one
factor which has been greater than
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-09-21

will make food prices lower. What
he says is that much of the high cost
of living in Atlanta is due to the fact
that the city is the center of an agri-
cultural region which produces little
to eat.
Most of Atlanta's food has to be
brought In from other and distant
sections. The weevil, by making the
cotton crop precarious, will force the
farmers to raise other crops, greatly
increasing the supply Of homegrown
food and decreasing, in direct proper
tons, the amount of money spent in
fretghts, middlemen's profits and
other economic wastes.
Professor Wallace points to Missis-
slppi as a State where conditions
have worked out in just this way.

Dancing

1t is a fact that dancing is the fash
ion of the hour, not only in this coun-
try, but all the world over. Every
where we hear about people leaving
their former pastimes for this form of
recreation. Even elderly people, who
never before felt called upon to trip
the light fantastic are taking dancing
lessons, while many an ancient belle
and beau who stepped out proudly in
the polka or the fascinating yorke or
even led the germans of a few decades
ago now join the young folks in the
merry-go-round. Conversation is n
lost art for the time being; music is
no longer as much enjoyed, and even
bridge, with all its accommodating
frills and furbelows, is losing its
charm. Dancing as an exercise is
now introduced into most schools and
institutions in preference to the old
forms of gymnasium work, as its val
ne from an athletic standpoint is well
recognized by the eXponents of physi-
cal culture. AS for the young, it goes
without saying that it is their favor
lite pastime.
At one time there were those who
honestly believed that it was a sin to
dance, and it is certainly a sin
against the esthetic and the graceful
the way some people danced then and
do now. But religious sentiment is
more liberal now about dancing. as it
is toward ali other fof ms Of innocent
amusement.
Dancing may be done properly or
Improperly, like walking, talking or
eating.
Certainly the etiquette of the mod
ern ballroom could be improved upon.
1t is not surprised that the onlook
er who has not caught the step and
sees it being caught by the graceless
dancer criticizes what he or she Sees
Even the waltz, which the dancing
set has never criticized, is almost
grotesque when danced by some peo-
pie who contriye to place themselves
