Half a Pineapple

Here is one example Of the wealth Of fruit
in Jiffy-Jell desserts.
We crush pineapples in Hawaii - fruit too

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-No short
cut to reduce the cost of living is con-
tomplated by the new Republican ad-
ministration.
President-elect Harding and Repub-
lican leaders in congress are expected
to make it clear at the outset OF the
new regime that what might appear
to be the quickest road TO a lower
level of living costs, reduction in war
time taxation, can not be brought
about Immediately. While govern
ment expenditures will be cut, the
necessity OF retiring a floating in
debtedness Of upward of 3 billion dol
lars and the short term Victory notes
will make 1t essential to keep the ag-
gregate revenue derived from taxa
tion at high level. Tightening of
the load, however, through a revision
of the tax laws. including elimination
Of some Of the inequitable taxes and
substitution of others, certainly will
be attempted as early as possible.
The Farmers May Complain
a counter current which presents
an obstacle to any action designed to
reduce the level of comm modify prices
is tho wave of protest which has
swept over the country among agri-
cultural producers These producers
who, on the basis of present market
prices. claim to be suffering heavy
losses and to be threatened with
bankruptcy, undoubtedly helped to
roll up the huge majority for the Re-
publican ticket because of their re-
SC cntment against financial policies Of
the Democratic administration.
The new administration is expected
to show sympathetic interest in the
problems of the farmers and must in
to some extent, put the
tioa -, 49, ~~.-s l..rus su lar as !
food is concerned. and also with re-
spect to such commodities as cotton !
and wool, which enter into the manu-
platform adopted at the Chicago con-
vention gives a line on what may be
expected from President-elect Hard
ing on the subject Of high cost Of liv-
ing, in his inaugural address. The
platform stated that the prime cause
Of the high cost Of living has been
first and foremost so per cent de-
probation ia the purchasing power
Of the dollar. due to gross expansion
Of currency and credit. Reduced
production, burdonsome taxation,
swollen profits and the increased de-
mand for goods arising from fictitious
but enlarged buying power. it is stat
ed. have been the contributing causes
in greater or less degree.
No Real Reduction Soon
The platform. however. carefully
made it clear that real reduction in
tho aggregate amount OF taxation
could not be expected.
Refusal OF the Republican organi-
cation in congress to attempt revision
OF the revenue law during the last
session was a bit Of political strategy
attributed in a large measure to Sena-
tor Fenrose Of Pennsylvania chair
man OF the senate committee on fl
nance.
When some OF the house leaders
sought to revise the tax laws last
spring Senator Penrose counselcd
against it on the ground that what
ever might be accomplished probably
would be as unsatisfactory to the vot-
ers as the present law and that the
Republicans would be held to blame.
The law on the statute books at pres
ent Is a Democratic measure and Sem
ator Penrose preferred the Demo-
Gratis should not be relieved of re-
sponsibility for 1t just in advance Of
election.
