Territory
He Had No Bank Account
He had some money—but he had no Bank Ac
count. He could not see the need of one. He
had a splendid chance to enlarge his business
and make big money. He had not enough cash
on hand. He was unable to borrow any from a
Bank, because as he kept no Bank Account the
Bank knew nothing about his financial respon
sibility.
Does This Mean You?

LIVING COST MS
NOf LOWERED
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 4—
Reduction, in the high. cos' of liv
ing, as promised in the Democratic
platform of 1912, is a "myth/ de
clared Representative Julius Kahn,
of Cal., ranking minority; member
of tie House Military Affairs Com
mittee, in a statement give.il out
here recently.
In 1912 the Democratic party
promised the people of the Unit
ed States' tqi reduce the high,' cost
of living,' said Mr. Kahn. "They
fulminated against the protective
tariff and blamed 'he latter for
contributing to the increase of
ixricea for food products of all
kinds. This is the plank of that
platform:
" 'The high! cost of living is a
serious problem in everyi American
home. The Republican pairty, in
its, platform, attempts to es
cape from a protective tariff. We
taka issue withi them on this sub
jec, and charge that excessive
pr^c. result in a liarge measure
from the high! tariff laws enacted
and maintained by the Republican
pa<rfv and from trusts and commer
cial conspiracies fostered and en
couraged by such, lawst, and jve as
s«nt that no substantial relief can
be secured for tho people without
import duties ou the necessaries of
li'? aie materially reduced and
these criminal conspiracy broken
U;>.'
"l.ike many another plank it
seems to baive; br-en inserted in
the platform in the nature of 'mo
lasses to catch flies.'
"Instead of reducing the price
of living under this Democratic ad
ministration the coj' of food pro
due's has constantly increased.
Uncle Sum himself feels the pinch.
is the greatest purchaser of
commodities In the United S'ates.
He can ouj* cheaper than, anybody
else because he buys in such, large
quantities. In 1913 at the time
the Demoorats took possession of
th* country and promised to reduce
'ho cost of living ho wag paying
twen.'y-three cents a d;;y per ration
tor every enlisted man in the Unit
ed States Army. TLiat was the
C0c* of the Army ration at that
{ime. The ration itself hag not
been changed for about eigh» years.
The same articles of food that were
given the soldiers in 1909 are sup
plied to them today. Acting
Quartermaster General H. G.
SlUTpe, -who* testified before the
Committee on Military Affairs last
Mi.rob, said-that for the year 1917
• V -»»U_ ~nnU Kt>
thirty cents. Its cost has increas
ed steadily since 1913. Every year
saw an increase Until now the ra
'icn amounts to thirty 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
Dei ration means that thes taxpay
ers of Uncle Sam have to pay $1,
500 a day more than1 they would
have had to pay in 1913 to feed
Uncle Sam's soldiers. At that
rale the increased cost to feed
•he army amounts each,' month, to
$525,000, or $6,300,000 per year
more than when, tha Republicans
were in control. The 'ax pa vera are
called upon tc meet this heavy in
crease- But it is not only the
food for the Army that has in
creased in cost. The cost of cloth
in, shoes and equipment generally
has gone up in proportion.
"The records of thei government
disclose the fact that under the
Uiiderwood tariff bill, which/ is
probably the lowest tariff this coun
to* has ever had, prices have ad
vauced steadily end the end is not
yet.
"The Democratic party proclaim
ed in 1912 that the protective) tar
iff was responsible for the high
cost of living. It was a beautiful
theory with, which they fooled man
o* th'_ voters o£ this country. The.
people are wiser today. Under
Democratic free trade prices have
risen t- the highest point in Am
erican history.
"Will the vcters again be fool
ed by Democratic) sophistry in No
vember?"
