WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 4.—Re
duction in the high cost of living, as
Cromised in the democratic platform
f 1912, is a “myth,” declared Repre
sentative Julius Kahn, of California,
ranking minority member of the house
military affairs committee, in a state
j ment given out here recently.
“ In 1912 the democratic party
promised the people of the United
States to reduce the high cost of liv
ing," said Mr. Kahn. “ They fulmi
nated against the protective tariff and
blamed the latter for contributing to
the increase of prices for food and
products of all kinds. This is the
plank of that platform:
“ ‘ The high cost of living is a seri
ous problem in every American home.
The republican party, in its platform,
attempts to escape from a protective
I tariff. We take issue with them on
this subject, and charge that excessive
| prices result in a large measure from
the high tariff laws enacted and main
tained by the republican party and
from trusts and commercial conspira
cies fostered and encouraged by such
laws, and we assert that no substan
tial relief can be secured for the peo
ple without import duties on the ne
cessaries of life are materially reduced
and these criminal conspiracies broken
up.’
j ‘ Like many another plank it seems
i to have been inserted in the platform
[, in the nature of ‘ molasses to catch
flies.”
“ Instead of reducing the price of
living under the democratic adminis
tration the cost of food products has
constantly increased. Uncle Sam him
self feels the pinch. He is the greatest
purchaser of commodities in the Unit
ed States. He can buy cheaper than
anybody else because he buys in such
large quantities. In 1913 at the time
the democrats took possession of the
country and promised to reduce the
cost of living he was paying 23 cents
a day per ration for every enlisted
in the United States army. That was
the cost of the army ration at that
time. The ration itself has not been
changed for about eight years. The
same articles of food that were given
the soldiers in 1909 are supplied to
them today. Acting Quartermaster
General H. G. Sharpe, who testified
before the committee on military af
fairs last March, said that for the year
1917 the cost of each ration would be
30 cents. Its cost has increased stead
ily since 1913. Every year saw an in
crease until now the ration amounts to
30 cents per day. There are approxi
mately 250,000 men in the regular
army and the national guard at the
present time. An increase of seven
cents per ration means that the tax
payers of Uncle Sam have to pay $1,
500 a day more than they would have
had to pay in 1913 to feed l/ncle Sam’s
soldiers. At that rate the increased
cost to feed the army amounts each
month to $525,000 or $6,300,000 per
year more than when the republicans
were in control. The taxpayers are
called upon to meet this heavy in
crease. But it is not only the food for
the army that has increased its cost.
The cost of clothing, shoes, and equip
ment generally has gone up in pro
portion.
“ The records of the government dis
close the fact that under the Under
wood tariff bill, which is probably the
lowest tariff this country has ever
had, prices have advanced steadily and
the end is not yet.
“ The democratic party proclaimed
in 1912 that the protective tariff was
responsible for the high cost of living.
It was a beautiful theory with which
they fooled many of the voters of this
country. The people are wiser today.
Under democratic free trade prices
have risen to the highest point in
American history.
“Will the voters again be fooled by
democratic sophistry in November ? "
