WASHINGTON, D. C.—September.
—Reduction in the high cost of living,
as promised in the democratic plat
form of 1912, is a “myth,” declared
Representative Julius Kahn, of Cali
fornia, ranking minority member of
the house military affairs committee,
in a statement given out here today.
“ 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 prospective tariff
and blamed the latter for contributing
to the increase of prices for food pro
ducts 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 responsibili
ty for present conditions by denying
that they are due to a protective tar
iff. 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 re
duced and these criminal conspiracies
broken up.’
“ Like many another plank it sems
to have been inserted in the platform
in the nature of ‘ molasses to catch
. flies.’
xuateau ol reducing tne price of
living under this democratic adminis
tration the cost of food products has
constantly increased. Uncle Sam him
self feels the pinch. He is the great
est purchaser of commodities in the
United 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 enlist
ed man 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
steadily since 1913. Every year saw
an increase until now the ration
amounts to 30 cents per day. There
are approximately 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 taxpayers of Uncle Sam have to
pay $17,500 a day more than they
would have had to pay in 1913 to feed
Uncle Sam’s soldiers. At that rate
the increased cost to feed the army
amounts each month to $252,000, or
$6,000,000 per year more than when
the republicans were in control. The
taxpayers are called upon to meet this
heavy increase. But it is not only the
food for the army that has increased
in cost. The cost of clothing, shoes
and equipment generally has gone up
in proportion.
“ 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 liv
ing. 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 Novem
ber?’'
