1920 Comes in With Living
Costs at Highest Point
By GEORGE B. WATERS,
Newspaper Enterprise Association Staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Jan. I.—The American people face the new year
with a higher cost of living staring them in the face than that which
confronted them 12 months ago. Despite fair-price committees, food ad
ministrators, the Lever law and prosecutions, it costs 3.8 per cent more to
eat this New Year day than it did Jan. 1, 1919.
Legal minds say laws are "to punish crime and deter others from
committing like offenses.” The amended Lever law is an exception to this
rule. Despite a few prosecutions, and much talk, food increased in cost
2 per cent the first month it was in effect.
Food Is 92 per cent, higher now than
before the war. The bureau of labor
statistics furnished this figure. It af
fects all who eat. It is based on the
weighted average of essential foods that
make up the daily diet in American
homes. The smallest increase since 1913
was in plate beef, 43 per cent., and the
largest in eggs, 135 per cent
OTHER EXPENSES
UP 88 PER CENT.
But. food is only one item. People wear
clothes, live in houses, burn fuel, use
furniture and have miscellaneous ex
penses. These are necessities. Consid
ering these with food, the general cost
of existing has jumped 88 per cent, since
before the war. This figure is based on
statistics taken by the labor department
in the district of Columbia.
Figures far the nation aren't available.
Congress cut the appropriation for such
work. But statisticians say these tally
pretty well with conditions elsewhere. In
the shadow of the Wliitehouse/the state
ly cr.pitol and the department of Justice
—where A. Mitchell Palmer holds forth
—general living costs went up 8 per
cent, from April to November. On this
Bay of Our Lord, Jan. 1, 1920, they are
, stlli soaring.
WAGES ALMOST
KEEP UP.
Wages have almost kept pace with liv
ing costs. I learned that the bakers are
getting. 8.6 per cent, more than in 1913.
What are known as index numbers are
too complicated to explain here, but this
means that bakers’ present pay is only
1.22 per cent, behind living costs, in
eight trades the average in pay to about
the middle of 1919 was 71 per cent. Steel
and iron workers had been increased 121
per cent., hosiery and underwear work
ers 84, silk goods workers, 91; men's
clothing workers, 71; sawmill workers,
94; sash and door mill workers, 51; fur
niture workers, 54; cigar workers, 52.
When these figures were made living
costs were up about 75 per cent. Since
then some of these wages have been in
creased.

In Chicago “a dollar an hour" was

WORLD TODAY
NEEDS MEATS
Kingan & Cos. Official Sees Big
Demand Ahead for Ameri
can Meats.
Harry P. Wetsel, sales manager of
Klngan and Company, today said that
the world faces a meat shortage and
that with a decrease In the number of
hogs coming to market there is every
reason to believe foreign demand will
absorb all surplus the United States can
supply.
In reviewing the past year and the
outlook for the present, Mr. Wetsel
said:
“At the commencement of the year just
closed the packing industry was still
\fnder federal control with a fixed mlni
munj. price for. hogs at $17.36.. When the
control was withdrawn the first of March,
prices for hogs immediately started to
advance and by degrees reached in July
$23.50.
HOGS SOLD
UNDER FEED COST.
“Subsequently, several factors com
bined to alter‘the situation at this time
involving a fall In foreign exchange, re
establishment of control by British gov
ernent and agitation to reduce cost of
living.
“Prices for products declined heavily,
bringlug hogs down to a level really
under cost of production, based on feed
prices. A natural readjustment of val
ues brought about an advance during
the end of the year 1919 during the sea
son of heavy receipts when prices usually
are lower under the weight of large sup
plies with decreased demand.
DOMESTIC TRADE
OUTLOOK FAVORABLE.
“At the outset of the new year the.
world is confronted with a mark' and short
age of meat products and with a de
creased number of hogs in the country,
there is every indication that all sur
plus meats that America can produce
will be wanted for trade abroad.
“As to the domestic trade, the de
mand is good for the season of the year.

December, 1918 58 rents
January, 1920 53 cents
WHAT CAUSES v
INCREASED COST?
I can positively account for 23.5 of
the high cost of living. It goes into the
federal treasury. Uncle Sam is taking
from the people $5,000,000,000 a year more
than he took in 1913. He gets it any
where he can find it. He tells the busi
ness men to raifsa it. They add it to
rent. food, fuel, clothes, amusements. It
cost the 20,000.000 families in America
i $21,280,000,000 to exist in 1913. These
20.000,000 families must pay this extra
$5,000,000,000, Since 16,000.000 of these
families pay no income lax it is added
to their living costs and the men from
whom they buy food, clothes and fuel
hand it over to Uncle Sam.
In 1919 every family paid Uncle Sam
S3OO. One who thinks the men with big
incomes pay the taxes, are as blind as
the old-fashioned person who used to
1 think the saloon keepers kept up the
government. Who pays the excess-profits
tax? The man in the street, of course.
He who pays about $5 for every $1 Uncle
Sam gets.
Subtract this 23.5 per cent from the
88 per cent increase in the living cost,
leaves 64.5 per cent increase. That is,
this would be the normal increase in
the cost of living.
PHONE RATES
HEARING JAN. 13
Service Body to Hear Pleas for
More Revenue by Many
Concerns.
Telephone toil rate changes will be
considered by the public service commis
sion at a hearing which opens .Tan. 13.
The commission will hear petitions of
various telephone companies for the re
tention of the Hurieson rates or for in
creases over those rates.
.rnrisdiction over telephone rates was
returned to the state five months aeo.
It was stipulated that unless otherwise
ordered hy commissions, the rates in
effect before the Burleson rates were in
stalled should become effective Dec. 1.
The commlssloiv found that it could not
issue an order before that date and
therefore ordered the rates continued.
The commission expected to issue an
order affecting local rates and becoming
effective today. It found, however, that
this could not be done, because of the
enormous amount of work connected
with such an order. According to mem
bers of the commission, the local order
will come out about ,Tan. 10.
The commission has authorized the
consolidation of eight southern Indiana
telephone companies. They are the Sey
mour Xfutual Telephone Company, the
Home Telephone Company of Browns
town, the Home Telephone ComMny of
Bicknell, the Jennings County Tefephore
Company, the North Vernon and Vernon
Telephone Company, the Butlervllle Tele
phone Company, the Scott County Tele
phone Company, and the Lexington and
Little York Telephone Company. The
company will be known as the Southern
Indiana Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany and has been authorized to Issue
$200,000 In common stock. It was incor
porated by .1. B. Thompson, H. H. Car
ter, J. V. Ricbart, J. H. Andrews and
L. C. Griffith.

COOPER NAMED
BOSS OF ROADS
Commissioner Hayes Stays
‘Out in Cold’ as Shank and
George Decide Things.
John Cooper of Pike township is the
new Marion county road superintendent.
He was named today by County Com
missioners Lewis George and Carlin
Shank. They made the announcement of
the appointment in the custodian's office
at the courthouse. While they were de
ciding. Commissioner Joe Hayes remained
in the commissioners’ office. He was not
invited to either favor or vote against
Cooper.
Shank and George had agreed that
Omer Hawkins, present road superinten
dent, must go, but they could not agree
upon the successor until today. Bach
! had his own candidate. Yesterday they
debated for hours behind closed doors.
Commissioner Hayes didn't debate—he*
wasn't consulted.
Ben F. Fierce was reappointed custo
dian of the courthouse.
The following were reappointed: Harry
C. He.ndrickson, county attorney; Frank
A. Sytnmes, attorney for the poor; Wil
liam C. Fox, bailiff of the commissioners'
court; Dr. Walter George, related to Com
missioner George, county health doctor;
Dr. Loren Hyde, head of Juliette as his
contract has another year to run; Mrs.
Agnes Ward, jail matron; Dr. W. E. Men
denhall, jail physician, and Miss S. .T.
Pray, head of the Detention home; Joe
Engelke. investigator for juvenile court;
Mrs. Emma Swiggett, courthouse matron.
The contract of Alva Jay, superintend
ent of the poor farm, does not expire
until March 1 and there is a rumor
that Ben Morgan of Perry township will
succeed him at that time. There were
many applicants for the various jobs.
After the appointments were made
Shank decided that George should suc
ceed him cs president of the board of
• commissioners.
WOMEN SURE
THEY WILL WIN
Expect Majority of State
Solons to Consent to One-
Day Session.
Despite reports that many members!
of the legislature are opposed to pledg
ing themselves to take up nothing but the
ratification of the national suffrage
amendment if the general assembly Is
called into serial session, officials of the |
Woman's Franchise league are confident,
that they will be able to obtain approval
of the plan by the majority of the legis
lature. They hope that the session will
be called for Jan. 15.
All the opposition to the governor's j
plan does not come from members of j
the legislature. Not all suffrage work
ers are in accord with what they term
the governor’s passing the responsibility
of protecting his administration to the
women. There is also some objection to
the manner in which the statement of;
the governor was obtained.
ONLY REPUBLICANS
VISIT GOVERNOR.
Heretofore it hag been customary for
the members of the legislative committee
of the league to handle matters per
taining to suffrage legislation. The
committee is made up of an equal num
ber of republicans and democrats; Only
one member of this committee was among
the women who called on the governor.
This was Helen Benbridge, republican.
| who is a member of the committee by
I virtue of being president of the league,
i Two of the other women. Miss Betsle Ed
' wards and Mrs. Charles A. Butler, are
j employes of the republican organisation.
The fourth. Mrs. John F. Barnhill. Is a
republican. They were accompanied by
Frederick E. Scbortemier, secretary of
the republ'can state committee.
ASKS HELP OF
ALL CHAPTERS.
Miss Benbridge has asked all the chap
ters of the organisation to assist in ob
taining the consent of legislators to
conic to Indianapolis for the sole purpose
of ratifying the suffrage amendment. At
the same time, she is sending letters to
each member of the assembly who will
j be expected to pledge their support so
the governor's plan. Officials of the
1 league say they believe a majority will
be all that is necessary. On the other
| hand, a two-thirds vote is necessary to
suspend the rules and pass any legisla
tion in one day.
In commenting on the manner in which
I the governor's statement was obtained.
Miss Benbridge said:
“The suggestion of the governor came
as a complete surprise. We wanted, of
course, to have a session enllpd in the
regular way. The governor explained,
however, that this would not be possible
for some time, and that this plan was
j the best be could do. We are glad to
take this way of securing ratification.
We need ratification so badly we would
seize any opportunity to get it—and we
owe it to the other states.’’

Greenfield Man Wants Return
of Note and Cash on
Ground of Deception.
Suit to recover a $4,000 promissory note
and SI,OOO in cash alleged to have been
paid for stock which was never deliv
ered was filed In superior court today by
Oscar Heller of Greenfield. The defend
ants are Bamberger & Feibleman, attor
neys: Ralph Bamberger and Isadore
Feibleman, Individually; David B. Sim
mons, doing business as Simmons & Cos.;
James G. Ray, D. B. Stone and Carl
j Conrad, all of Indianapolis,
i Heller states that Simmons went to
! Greenfield representing himself as Stone,
a salesman for Simmons & Cos. The
plaintiff (says Simmons told him his
company owned 500 shares of the stock of
the Capital Film Company of Chicago,
which had a market value of $12.50 a
; share and a par value of $lO. He a!
lieges he gave Simmons bis note for SI,OOO
In payment of 100 shares at their repre
i sented par value and took an option on
the 400 shares at $lO a share.
Heller alleges that Simmons later
caused a draft to be filed with a bank
at Greenfield and that he paid the SI,OOO
note. Meanwhile, he says, he gave Sim
mons a note for $4,000 in payment for
the remaining stock and that he put up
4,000 shares of oil stock which he owned
as collateral security. He alleges that
Simmons assigned the note to Ray and
Conrad, who were aware of the circum
stances.
The plaintiff alleges that he has made
repeated demands for the delivery of the
stock but that none of it has been de
livered. He said that Feibleman and
I Bamberger are making attempts to col
! lect the $4,000 note. He also alleges that
| he had an agreeemnt with Simmons that
the note should be returns if the stock
I was not issued.

Men and women past 30 years of

SPUR OFFICIALS
IN BROWN CASE
Citizens’ Demand for More Ac
tion Expected to Speed
Solution of Murder.
MT. CLEMENS, Mich., Jan. I.—Within
the next forty-eight hours arrests will
be made which will do much to solve
the puzzling question of “who killed J.
Stanley Brown?” authorities intimated
today.
Just a week ago this morning, the
body of the eccentric young clubman
was found In his car, slumped over the
steering wheel, his head pierced by four
bullet holes, on the lonely Utica road.
During the week of Investigation, one
person has been arrested and charged
definitely with the slaying—Cecile Bea
trice Vester, who entered a plea of “not
guilty.”
BELIEVE HER VICTIM
OF FRIEND’S RAGE.
Her examination was set for Saturday.
With her questioning yesterday Interest
in the Vester girl has lagged. Those on
the ground are inclined to believe bei
innocent, of the crime with which she is
charged a victim of the rage of a for
mer ifosom friend whose coat she pawned
for $lO and left with the money.
Throughout the quiz she was catm and
collected. Her knowledge of legal pro
cedure astonished court officials. Al
though not represented by counsel, she
demanded an examination and entered
her pica without violation of legal
technique.
There Is an undercurrent of opinion
here that the persons who have knowl
edge of the crime are still at liberty,
despite the belief that county officials
have evidence which would hold them
under arrest.
COMES TO HEAD WITH
I COMMITTEE’S ACTION.
This undercurrent came to a head
yesterday when a committee of citizens,
headed by a prominent clergyman, de
manded “more action” on the part of
officials.
The clergyman. Rev. Mr. Dodge, de
clared three persons wno have their lib
erty should be arrested. He declined to
say to whom he referred.
No word had been received early to
day from Lansing as to the attitude
the governor will take on the request
for a special prosecutor. This request,
made by prominent Mt. Clemens citizens
was based on differences of opinion re
sulting in friction between city and
county officials.
