Some Causes of the High Cost of
Living.

Last week l enumerated in this
column some of the items which go
to make up the present high cost of
living as compared with the way of
living thirty years ago. In this arti-
Gle it is my purpose to point out some
more of them.
Thirty years ago only children who
were young enough to be supposed
to believe in Santa Claus received
Christmas gifts, and these were few
and cheap. Nowadays the Christmas
giving has assumed such proportions
as to be severe tax upon the in
comes of people in all ranks of. life.
Thirty years ago comparatively few
peoplpe were awake to the necessity
of carrying insurance, either upon
life or property. Now nearly all
property owners and heads of fami-
lies carry more or less. In many
instances both parents and even the
children are insured, and some fam
lilies carry so much protection" that
the dues consume a good share of
their income. Look at the number
of lodges and fraternities that have
sprung up during the last twenty
years, most of them with benevolent
purposes and doing a needed work,
but all taking money from the family
purse. Think of the number of
clubs, social and literary, of the
church and school societies and the
organizations for playing games and
pursuing sports of various kinds, all
good enough in their way perhaps
but all costing something. Philan-
thropic societies are multiplying and
there are constant demands upon our
charity both at home and abroad
AS more care is being given to the
unfortunate of all classes, improved
methods and new branches are be-
| ing introduced into our schools and
more expensive buildings and appara-
tus are demanded, education has
come to be heavy expense, both to
individuals and to the community at
large. The expense of graduating
one young person from our high
schools would have educated a half
dozen thirty years ago. Glass fra
ternities, parties, emblems, expen-
sive costumes, gifts, photographs
decorations and the like were un-
thought of then. The expense oi
sending young people away to school
has increased in even greater pro
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1913-05-15

portion, as the higher cost of board
is added
The greatly increased amount of
travelling that is done these days
forms another item, which in many
families is by no means a small one.
Vacations, which were very rare
thirty years ago to any but those
connected with the schools, now
mean a more or less expensive trip.
Many families spend all they make
moving about, looking for a more
agreeable climate, better wages, bet
ter business opportunities, or from
discomfort with their surroundings.
The automobile, which has now
come to be regarded as a necessity
by many who use it merely for pleas
ure, is another expense, both in it's
first cost and it's maintenance, which
might be avoided to advantage by
those desiring to economize.
Amateur photography eats up a
good deal of money every year in
some families. The picture show and
other forms of entertainment take
far larger proportion of the family
income than it did thirty years ago.
Up to the age of 10, | doubt if the
writer had seen a dozen shows all
told. Society, too, makes far greater
demands on the purse than it did in
those days. More and costlier enter
tainments are given, and to be in
society one must dress and have
all his appointments on a more ex-
pensive scale than formerly The
fact that so many things which used
to be made at home are now bought
ready made add considerable to the
household expenses. The bakery,
the delicatessen store, the fancy gro
cery department, undoubtedly make
things easier for the housewife, but
they deplete her pocketbook. So
with ready-made lingerie, aprons,
children's clothing, bedding, etc., all
of which can be easily made at home.
A great deal of expensive fancy work
is being made and great deal is
being sold to those who cannot make
it.
Looking the question up one side
and down the other, it seems to me
that the high cost of living is due
largely to the fact that we have more
luxuries and conveniences than were
enjoyed q generation ago, and that
therefore good share of the ex-
pense might be eliminated, IL the
unnecessary things were cut out and
the necessary ones judiciously
pruned. For the workingman, the
only solution seems to be to go back,
as nearly as possible, to the old way
of living; but this no one is ready
to do, hence the complaints. The
good old-fashioned way of going
without what one cannot afford will
have to be revived and taught to the
present generation, if prosperity and
happiness are ever to reign, where
now are poverty and discomfort. Two
