The New York Commercial has
taken the trouble to compile a table
of the wholesale cost of most of the
ncccssltic* of life anil compare It with
wholesale prices prevailing a year ago.
The compilation was made on Janu-
ary 30, and from a study of it one sees
the following:
"Flour Is %!."'• a barrel, against
$1 r,Ti; beans are <•.h5 cents, against
. I'd cents; but live beef cattle arc sel-
ling at r, 10 cuts a pound, against
li >0 cents a pound last year; hogs arc
worth ti.fiO cents a pound live weight,
again:'! VI j cents; mess pork is ft V7n
a barrel, axalnst flM.'.O a barrel, and
potatoes are 11.75. against fi.jO.
Meat-eating Americans can afford to
pay a cent more for a loaf of bread
when the chief meats are so much
cheaper. Cotton and cotton goods are
down, while wool Is up, but the fall In
cotton is greater than the rise in wool.
Standard brown sheetings are worth
i> 1-2 cents against 8 1-1 cents, while
raw clothing wool averaged 21..17
cents last year. Dried fruits are
cheaper, evaporated apples being 6 3-4
cents. Kcfined petroleum Is 12 cents
a gallon, against 13 cents a year ago.
All through the list of necessaries of
life advances are balanced by decline
In this way.
"If the cost of living has advanced
sufficiently to excuse au embargo on
exports of wheat, the Federal govern-
ment should look Into other things
than the wheat market ami the baker-
ies. The prices named are wholesale
quotations prevailing in the principal
markets of this country on January 3d
and (ho comparisons are made with
the corresponding date last year. If

A strong sentiment exists for the
construction of concrete rouds In the
M< Kinney district in preference to
pikes built of gravel or other muter
ial. While the llrst i ost of concrete
Is about double, Jet the expense of
up-keep is far less on concrete thun
on other kinds of roads. Therefore
in the long run, concretu oonstructed
roads are the cheapest, as well lis by
f.11- tlx most durable and perma-
nent. The County Judge and Com-
mission! is liuvc a grave responsibility
upon lie in In 111 • • matter of having
tlir li it a I choice of ««>< «! roads build-
ing material. These olllclals realize
this fact and are carefully Weighing
all the facts obtainable pro anil con
before awarding any more contracts
for further pike road mileage. As
yet only about $70,000 of the $1.r>0,
DUO worth of bonds have been sold.
Therefore the bulk of tlie roads as
well as the material therefor In this
district are yet to bo decided upon
and hence tlie Interest locally among
citizens generally as well us among
the olllclals who have the final choice
to make as above stated.
It's an eusy matter for Texus to feed
Itself. All she has to do Is to build
more silos, start more dairies, raise
more feed and hogs to feed It to, and
plant less cotton and- but what's the

South Carolina, Mr. Ashtuore says,
the state exempts all factories from
taxation for twenty years, as an in-
ducement for capitalists to Invest
their money In that line of Industry.
In Texas there are no exemptions.
He said that the legislature, instead
of wasting its time quibbling over lit-
tle things, should turn its attention 'o
matters which would help the state
i'lid the peor.u in tlie state, and they
could not do anything more beuellei.,1

There is no use in trying to deny it
further, this world Is growing better
