Vote On Wage Proposals
Will Begin Immediately
Legislature Would Ignore
Only Hope of Decreasing
The High Cost of Lining
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS

The passage from the Presidents
proclamation which fits the Alabama
case follows:
"OnIy by keeping the cost Of
production its present level, by
increasing production and by rigid
economy and saving on the part of
the people can we hope for large
decreases In the burdensOme cost
of living which now weighs us
down.
Governor Harding was pleased tOdn y
when the Presidents opinion 10 per-
fectiy dOyetniled. with his own cx-
pressed yesterday. He holds that ii il
self-evident TINT the tonnage tax will
increase the cost of production and
contends that probably 1t will ,decrease
production.
And then, according to the Prcsi-
dent. there will be no hope of decreas-
ing the cost Of living.
Apparently the legislature would MS
sumo tremendous responsibility.

Washington, August 26.-(Specinl0
The Alabama legislature, in preparing
to enact its revenue bill containing
tonnage taxation applicable to coal
and iron. would ignore the only hcpc
of decreasing the cost Of living, in the
opinion of the President of the United
States.
As w. p. G. Harding. governor Of the
federal reserve board, pointed out yes
terday. tonnage taxation would either
decrease production or Increase the
cost to the consumer.
According to the President. in his
proclamation to the American people
today, there il only one way to reduce
the cost of living, maintain the cost of
production at it's present level, In
crease production and practice econ

 These are the findings of one of the numerous committees which, on behalf of the government, are trying to find q solution of the servant problem in this country.
