Sir—Why should a landlord be allowed to ask any amount he sees fit in the way of rent? Rent is being raised anywhere from 110 to *25 a month.

To the KM Hot of The News: Sir—The Indianapolis landlord who takes advantage of the present scarcity of houses to increase hta rents <5 per cent, to GO per cent, surely can be called a profiteer. The apartment which one landlord of which the writer knows, rented gladly last sear for *50, can not this year worth *80. which he is demanding. Certainly the man who occupies it can boast no such increase in his earning capacity for th# year. Then, too, last year's rent on most of the apartments was an increase of 10 per cent, over the previous year.

A RENTER.

WATSON SETS OUT EIGHT CAUSES FOR HIGH COSTS

INDIANA SENATOR REPLIES TO GRAIN DEALERS’ SECRETARY.

VARYING AGENCIES BLAMED

The Indianapolis News Barean. SS Wyatt Building. WASHINGTON. August lS.-An interchange of letters between Charles B. Riley, secretary of the Indiana Grain Dealers' Association, and Senator Watson. of Indiana, has brought forth from the senator his ideas of the eight most important contributors to the high cost of living. Mr. Riley. In a letter to the senator, had suggested That the “public wants to spend its money, and instead of buyin cheaper goods, thsy buy the highest priced goods possible, not only in food but in practically everything eise.” To this. Senator Watson replied, giving the following eight points as his ideas as to the responsibility for the high cost of living; “1. A largely inflated currency. “2. The psychology of vast expenditures by the govermnent. “3. The cost-plus-ten-per-cent. system which raised wages and prices to the highest possible notch. “4. A general desire to shirk work, live off the government and blame th# government for all the weaknesses and defects of individual character. • 5. Tremendous exports, almost a billion dollars last year, draining our country of its raw material and >ts production.

“6.

and of the willingness to

id t

•acilate

economy

riflee to save money and accumul

wealth.

“7. The world-wide shortage of food and production of ail kinds. “8. A desire on the part of labor to work less and claim more and finally to nationalize all industry.”

Complaint Against Robins

Come now fruit growers with a complaint against Cock Robin. Richard Lleber. director of the state conservation commission, is looking into the problem presented by robins-and their destruction of fruits. Complaints have been received by the commission about damage done by the bird* to small fruit, grapes, strawberries and the like. Robins have become so numerous that It may be advisable for the state commission to arrange for certain conditions under which they may be killed. They now are protected by state and federal legislation. Ohio officials also are worrying ° v * r the robin pest. Federal authorities have received complaints, and owing to the migratory nature of the bird, some sort of co-operation between th * a £‘* south to control their numbers may be arranged by federal authorities.
