Hon. a, W. Brookhart of Washing

opposition to Congressman Kennedy.
He is a graduate of the Bloomfleld

1892 and has practiced his profession
at Washington ever since, serving
several terms aB county attorney. As
it has been understood for some time

occasion no surprise.
Leaders of the good roads move
ment in this state have framed a bill
for presentation at the state good
roads convention called by Governor
Carrolj to meet in Des Moines March
8 and 9. The bill prdvideti for the re
organization of the state highway
commission, giving it greater power
and supervision of construction of
roads, and makes the county surveyors
county engineers, on c^lary, who will
directly supervise the building of
roads. It will ask a $100,000 appro
priation from the state, to be added
to the $4,500,000 collected in taxes,
for road work, and divides the cost of
road improvements among the state,
county and adjoining -property owners.

so much the high cost of living as the
cost of high living. A» the last

is a matter largely within the discre

C03T OF LIVING.
A writer for the New York Journal
of Commerce will undertake to ex
plain the increased cost of living in
a Berieg of articles. He starts out by
saying that no material relief can
come from legislation, since most of
the causes for advanced prices, tar
iffs and monopolies excepted, are
beyond the reach of legislation- But
d'scussion will serve the purpose of
revealing the reasons more clearly
and satisfying public opinion until
relief or compensation comes fromi
natural causes or a general readjust
ment to the new level. The influences
which control prices are listed aa fol
