Responiible For The
Living Cost.
High
A concerted efftort is being made by
administration politicians and news­
papers—newspapers and magazines
both of the outspoken and camou­
flage "independent" kind, to make
the people believe that the responsi­
bility for the mounting cost of living
and the failure to punish profiteer­
ing, is due to the Republican Con­
gress elected last November. Having
won national power in 1912 on the
high cost of living issue, and every
day since the inauguration of Presi­
dent Wilson having witnessed a
steady rise in the level of the price
of necessities, these Democratic poli­
ticians and papers actually have the
loffrontery to attempt to raise this
issue once more in their own behalf!*
Everybody knows, of course, that
never before in the history of this
country has there been such whole­
