PRICES HERE AND IN CANADA

CANADA like the United States, is complaining ot | high prices but unlike the United States she com ) plains of condition that would be accepted here especial demur For while Canada is at and devotng
 great portion of her energy to this wars prosecution her people have suffered the imposition of war prices that has been visited upon the people in this and where peace and plenty nest and brood like twin doves The Ca nadian lament the high cost of living is set forth in the following summary of the situation by the Canadian de partment of labor:
 In the six months between July and December, 1914, the cost of weekly family budget of some 30 staple foods rose from 2 S813 though part of this rise was per haps due to seasonal differences The cost of food In 1915 was reconed 13 per greater than five years before The cost fuel and lighting but four per cent greater than in 190 but in many manufactured goods there were again phenomenal rises The predominatng influence the department naturally finds be the war; and points out the compensatng stimulation of the high prices upon m dustry and trade Not only did the make necessary production in many lines before thought of but It made profitable production that not necessary and that had been attempted in queter times with unsatstac tory results
 There we have it in official figures by the Canadian government The cost of food has been boosted 13 per cent during the last five years practically all of this raise be- ing within the last two years During the same per1od the cost of food in this country has increased from 40 to 50 per cent.
 The cost of fuel in Canada has increased but four per cent since 1910 In the United States at large It has m creased anywhere from 50 to 150 per cent.
 There no escaping the conclusion to which these com parative figures lead us The in the cost of living in Canada has been normal and legitimate. That in the United States has been abnormal and illegitimate.
