He intimated that the trusts were to blame, but declined to go Into any lengthy explanation because Hhe. In vestigation which he is conducting has not yet be£n completed. He also blamed the high cost of living to this, together with the exorbitant tprofltu demanded by the retail dealers, He prescribed as one remedy for the evil, a return to the farm. More farm era, and more intelligent farming, he declared, would greatly remedy con dltionl Hill Adda Hla Testimony. James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern railroad, also added the value of his testimony to the in vestigation in an Interview in which he characteristically declared that the problem was not so much, "the high cost of living as of the cost of high living."

Meat Supply Is Juggled. Y. They promise to show that instead of scarcity In the sources of mefct sup ply there is unusual plenty and that the present high prices of meatsprod ucts are, therefore, the result of manipulation by combinations In con trol of the meat supply and are con trary to the law of supply and de mand. The figures that the secretary of ag riculture has collected thus' far showed on January, 1909, that the price of beef was 22.6 per cent., high er than the average level of price in the five years from 1896 to 1900 In clusive. The increase In the retail price of meat, according to the department's Information, also had been .much greater relatively than the increase In the wholesale price.
