AND WE WONDER WHY WE
HAVE TO PAY HIGH

Hon. Cleveland A. Newon, men,
Der of Congress from Missouri has
put into the Congressional Record
some facts and figures showing why
we are having to pay so much for our
shoes, curry combs and hair brushes,
and other things essential to the up
keep and maintenance of farm, and
the very things that affect every
American citizen. Mr.. Newton had
the following reproduced in the Con-
gressional Record, which every Amer
lean citizen should read. This gives
an idea as to how the affairs were
conducted huring the past unparallel-
ed political reign:
"Our people are complaining about
the high cost of shoes, yet when we
examine the testimony taken by the
committee on Expenditures in the
War Department we wonder that
shoes are not today infinitely more
expensive.
"At the date of the almistice we
had 100000 men under arms, while
we had more than 100,0O0,OO0 people
engaged in civil life. The testimony
taken by the committee shows that
to have filled the orders made by the
Ordnance Branch the War Depart
ment for leather goods for use in the
army would have required 300, 600
more hides than the sum fetal OF all
the hides produced in the United
States. The testimony further shows
that the War Department had for
use in the army $4,000 horse and
mules, and yet the records Of the
War Department show that the Ord
nance branch Of the department or
dered for use upon these horses and
mules 945, 900 saddles and over 1,OOO,-
900 sets of double harness. The War
Department purchased 1,637,197 horse
brushes, 2,029,41S nose feed bags; l.
14s,364 horse covers, 2,850,S53 hal
tiers, which was enough to cover
more than 1900, 900 horses at one
time, and all of this equipment to be
used on 391 900 horses. 1t is difficult
to comprehend, in the face OF these
facts, how, officials of the admins
tration in power expected 1OO,OOO,ooo
people in civil life to procure the nee
essarv leather for shoes.
$4,000 Wasted Here.
"As above stated, the War Depart
ment owned during the war 391 ,ooO
horses and mules. 1t was decided
that these horses and mules must be
branded. The testimony taken by
the committee shows that in Septem-
Der. 1918, representative of the War
Department entered into a contract
with Henry Moss & Co., OF New
York. for $4,000 branding irons.
This was more than one branding
iron for every two horses IN the
army. The contract required that
these irons should be made OF cop
ner which was both scarce and ex-
nensiye. The contractor purchased
1882 pounds of copper, which was
10000 pounds more than needed 70
make the irons, and officials OF the
comnany stated that they paid 80 IL
cents per pound therefor. The war
Department paid the company ~ IL
o,,rd for all this copper,
and then Immediately sold it back to
the company for II cents per pound.
We won the war without branding

the administration, through The AT
torney General and other Federal Of
ficials. to reduce the cost Of living,
and the public has been led to believe
that they were really in earnest about
it, and yet, could any reasonable per-
son doubt, in the face of the testi-
mony above disclosed that if the en-
ormous quantity of foodstuffs, which
the testimony shows amounted to APP
proximately 40 per cent of all the
foodstuffs in the United States, had
been turned back into the market as
readily as the soldiers were turned
back to civil life, the price of food
would not have been reduced to a
minimum and the problem of the high
cost of living would have thus been
solved?
"Friends of the administration have
commended as an excuse for the ad-
ministration that under the stress Of
was it was impossible to prevent waste
but the testimony taken by the COM
mittee disclose the fact that great
bulk of the foodstuffs of this country
was dissipated and that millions Of
dollars were wasted upon contracts by
the War Department after the armis-
tice had been signed and the war end
ed.
Friends of the administration, in
speeches and statements in the public

can Congress has not reduced the cost
of living. The above statement dis
closes the answer to that question.
