and
High Cost of Living
Alexandra McDonald, the oil mil'
ilonaire, who is confined to his home
by feeble health, made some declara
tions on the high cost of living that
will cause some talk 'and challenge
attention, coming as they do from
one of the original Standard Oil
Magnates. Mr. McDonald, wbo is
seventy-six years old, sees no Incen
tive in work that produces nothing
for the future, ant declares that there
must be a readjustment somewhere,
Ia speaking ol the subject, he said:
"It is becoming impossible for the
wage woiker to make , both ends
meet. I do not recall when the cost
of living was so high. Wages have
not kept pace with the prions. We
will have to have a readjustment
somewhere. . ,.
It is not good that the -mats of oar
people should be forced to. live
band to mouth existence: - There is
no incentive in work that fiaodnora
nothing for the future. The saving
ability ol our people mast not be cur
tailed. " '
I cannot see how the olerk wbo
must pay the high present prices can
support a family and save at the
same time. Tbe results of such
condition oannot be anything but
bad. ' It discourages marriages,
among ether things, and those' wbo
bave means are living too extrava
gaotly.
The automobile, for Instance, un
fortunatey has become a sign of fi
nancial standing. Tbe result ia that
it is now often required as much for
show as fir use.
This is an age for much business.
