Washington. April 2s.-Grave and
sensational new figures showing the
constantly increasing cost OF living,
even during the last few months.
wero made public yesterday, Be-
tween November. 1919. and March,
1920. the American citizen had his
cost OF living raised Z per cent on
top Of the burden under which he
was already groaning.
These figures show that, while the
custodians OF the federal and state
governments have been talking about
cutting the cost Of living, 1t has gone
up steadily.
It now costs the American citizen
s5 per cent more TO live than 1t did
In 1914, aside from any taxes he may
have 10 pay as an individual.
Twenty-one per cent Of this bur-
den has been showed on the shoul-
ders Of tho American public within
the last year.
Huge Trust Earnings.
These astounding figures come an
top Of a series OF amazing corpora
ton reports Of earnings. The series
was eliminated within a few days
by the report of the American Wool
en- Company. popularity known an the

The wooden company report shows
that on top Of passing on to the pub

In the last four years tho wooden

paid out more than $4,000 600 divi-
dends to common stockholders and
now has on hand, for one year, q mol

letors of Wall Street.
And while the wooden trust was
building its enormous surplus and

The cost of living figures, which
are given out by the national indus

which are giving huge dividends In
the orgy of new capitalization that Is
astonishing the country.
Public Bears Il All.
When compared with the increased
costs Of living. the corporation re-

interesting situation. It Is found
that, in addition to charging up to
the public all Of their profits. taxes,
