Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1916-11-22

Many causes are assigned for the
high cost of living, but the main one
seems to be the European war. 1t
is the goat that must bear most of
the blame for existing conditions.
And it is no doubt a formidable cause
for existing conditions. When women
and children in thousands Of homes
in the Northwest will be compelled
to freeze because the railroads have
their cars loaded with ammunition
bound for sea port cities instead Of
being used for hauling coal to their
patrons on the western prairies, then
the war is surely to blame, but not
nearly so much as the railroads them
selves and the government which will
permit such conditions to happen.
But "the war; is only an excuse for
the natural and inevitable rise in
prices Of commodities, due, we be-
lieve, to increased production Of gold
and the enormous imitation of.acredit
money IN all parts Of the world, es-
Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1916-11-22

People everywhere, including also
farmers, who ought to be the last to
complain, are making a loud cutlery
against the high cost of living. Food
prices are on the jump all along the
line-butter, eggs, meat, bread, shoes,
clothing, coal-in fact everything
needful for our earthly existence, ex-
cept salvation. And yet when wages
and cost Of living in this country and
in the old world are compared, we
will have to concede that living is
still cheap with us. The true mea-
sure of the cost Of living is the price
of labor. When the laborers in this
country will be compelled to make
the same struggle for existence as in
the old world, then it is time to howl
about the high cost of living. In
most European countries very few
laborers can ever hope to get ahead
sufficiently to be able to own their
own homes. We do not realize in
this country how abundant and cheap
our food products have been in the
past, too cheap indeed for the pro-
Queer, who just now seems to be
getting his just reward.

That the world does move and that

changes are continually taking place

in evidence by the election Of a
woman to sit in the United States
congress. Miss jeanette Rankin, who
was elected representative from a
Montana district, has the distinction
of being the first Of her sex accorded
this honor. Who would have thought
even a dozen years ago that this
would have happened. Also when we

pecially in the warning countries. j. AS
long as the war lasts and the stream
of gold comes this way high prices
will prevail in this country. Another
great contributing factor making for
higher prices is the rapid growth in
population of our country, and espe-
cia1ly Of the cities, causing demands
upon the farming population faster
than these can be supplied. The
country has grown faster industrially
than agriculturally. Will the farmers
of the United States meet these new
demands?
