HIGH PRICES SCARING REPUBLICANS Charges That the Tariff Is Responsi ble Threatens Defeat of the G. 0. P. Washington, Feb. 2. —Frankly admitting felr that a prolonged in vestigation of the increased cost of living by the ways and means com mittee of the house, or as provided for by any of the rival resolutions, might drag through tne summer and work to the disadvantage of the republicans in the elections next fall, the senate finance com mittee today formulated a program fora quick, short inquiry of the subject in all its phases. This important question was con sidered t>y the republican members of the committee and, as a result, Senator Lodge introduced in the senate a resolution providing for the appointment of a select committee of five senators to do the work. No problem, it is said, has proved so emharassing to the republican party during its long continued con trol of congress. When the ma jority members of the finance committee met today, consideration was given to demands from every section of the country that something lx* done to restore normal prices on all necessaries of life- Several senators declared that the high prices would he attributed directly to the tariff, and that unless something was done to refute this charge, the republican party would he compelled to liear the brunt of the attack. Suggestion was made that the pro Dosed investigation by the ways and means committee of the house would accomplish every purpose, hut after the examination of the resolution introduced by Chairman Payne yesterday it was character ized as a “dragnet.” The opinion was expressed gen erally that such an inquiry as was proposed by the house would not be concluded in time to lie of assis-, tanee to republicans in the cam paign for re-electior. Senator Lodge, after remonstrat ing vigorously, finally agreed that he would undertake to conduct a rigid investigation and report to the present session of congress, if he were chosen the head of a com mittee. Acting upon that promise a resolution was drafted and later introduced by Mr. Lodge, providing for a committee of five senators. Senator Lodge has requested that Senator Smoot also he assigned to this committee. Both are mem bers of the finance committee and were recognized as hard workers during the preparation of the tariff bill. As drafted, the Lodge bill will in clude an investigation into the cost of the necessaries of life with an ! especial view to determining whetlr er there has been an increase dur ing the last two years. It directs that the inquiry shall cover the question of wages with a view to ascertaining whether they have been increased in propotion to the advanced cost of necessaries. It was referred to the finance com mittee, which is committed to its approval and to a prompt report. The Sparta Methodist church, built in 1805. was destroyed by fire Wednesday. Another mine disaster claimed sixty-eight lives yesterday. This one occurred near Lareda, Tex. K. OE P S INSTALL OFFICERS Mr. W. 0. Perry Chosen as Grand Representative. At the regular meeting of the Knights of Pythias last Thursday night the new officers elected in December f>r 1910 were installed as follows: L C. Russell, C- C,; J- B. Williams, V. C.; H.N. Rainey, Jr., P.; Karl Callahan, M. W ; C. C- Gregory, M. A.; W. H.Ouarter man, M. E.; S. C. Hill, O. G-, and Clyde Williamson, I. G. This was the time for selecting a representative to the Grand Lodge, and Russell lodge conferred that honor upon Mr. W. O. Perry. The Grand Lodge meets some time in May in the city of Brunswick. Russell lodge has many Knights who would represent her with credit upon the floor of the Grand Lodge, but no one is more worthy to wear her honors than Mr. Perry. Brainy, courteous and dignified, lie will command attention in this august gathering. AMEND THE LAW. The next general assembly should amend the registration law so to permit the books to remain open up to within one month of the pri mary election. In answer to the question ‘‘Would the fanners and general public lie lienefitted by the changes?” The Macon Telegraph says: “There is no question as to the desirability of amending the regis tration law so as to keep the books open until within one month of the election or primary. An honest Georgian, if he is only a poll-taxer, ought to have the right to qualify up to the last minute to the time necessarily required to arrange, perfect and print the registration lists. The present scheme to close six months liefore the election is a blow aimed at the poor man. This newspaper has denounced it an outrageous discrimination, and will continue to so denounce it as long as it remains on the statute books. It is equivalent to establishing a property qualification for voting, which is contrary to the most vital principles of free government. It is a strike at the heart of our Ameri can institutions more deadly than the tendencies to centralize govern ment at Washington. “The people ought to have a special eye to early registration this year, in order to avoid this pitfall dug for their feet, and then they ought to have an eye also to the character of men they elect to tin* Legislature.” The meanest man has often lx?en beard from, but Alabama comes to the front with the meanest woman. A woman in that state is suing the administrator of her father’s estate because he put a tombstone over her father’s grave and she also ob jected to the purchase of a coffin in which to lay away the remains of her mother. And this the money that her parents had labored to earn. In one cold storage house in Jer sey City there is said to lx* thirty six million eggs and one hundred thousand pounds of poultry. They have lx-en there since April, lt>o9. Mr. .J. L. Saul is in Baltimore purchasing spring goods.
