WAGES AND COST or LIVING.

The administration does not expect

Their reductions in the cost of living
that will enable the workingman to
accept a reduced wage
This paragraph, quoted from the
Washington correspondent of H. b.
Hunt, one of the most reliable of
Washington writers, goes to the very
heart of the big problem not press
ing for solution.
That problem is to find new level
where wages and cost of living can
meet with reasonable equity to all con-
cerned.
That the administration realizes
that there is far too great discrep-
mcy between the production and re-
tail sales costs of those things which
tho wOrkingman must buy, is good
sign.
We suspect thltt Mr. Hoover is
largely responsible fer this admins
tration point of view.
1t is probably unfair to the retailer
to charge all of this discrepancy to
him. He represents but a part of the
M chinery of distribution.
Between him and the original man
ufacturer are brokers, jobbers. whole
saIers and whatnOt, all performing
more or less useful functions, the cost

Mated into terms Of price to the retail
Ter.
This is the figure that must be TAX
Ell into account when cost of living, In
it, relation to wages, is being consid-
erred
There is no doubt that much OF the
recent talk about reduced cost of liv-
ins is based upon decreased prices
