Regulating Living Costs

Getting living has always been
mans chief struggle, and, except
for a short period iD the '70s and
again 10 the '90s of the last century
the cost of living has always been
relatively high. In these two
periods the cost of living was low
and business was stagnated, the
laborine man was out of work and
we had our two greatest political
revolutions.
BY 1897 living costs had begun
to rise again and at the beginning
of the war there had been an aver
age increase of nearly 70 per cent
on the principle necessities. Even
had there been no war, with its gen.
eral disturbance to production and
the opportunity it gave for artificial.
ly boosting prices. probably by this
time we should have keenly felt the
effect of steadily rising costs.
While everything possible should
be done speedily to take excessive
profit and waste out of business, yet
we should realize from the outset
that we shall not again 90 back to
the level of pre-war prices and
wages. There is nothing new. then,
in the present situation and we
have thus far proposed no new cure
for it.

much attention in North Dakota was
argued in supreme court Wednesday

the principal are entitled to the in
terest on a cash reserve OF surety
which certain classes of insurance
companies are required to deposit

surance company brought suit to re-
cover the interest on it's cash reserve

state. claiming that North Dakota was
entitled to the interest, and John
Steen, then state treasurer, was rep
resented in his own behalf.
Judge Nuessle rendered q judgment
in favor Of the insurance companies.
The state treasurer and the attorney
general both then appealed, and the
supreme court heard the arguments
of the three contestants Wednesday

the senate was preparing to consider
the 800, 600, 700 good roads measure,
proposed by c. M. Babcock, state

sation Of any kind" for military serv-
ices, except from the state.
