THE BURDEN
INCREASED COST OF LIVING. Tho burden of increasing cost of 3irip.g continues to bo a matter of absorbing dismay to many thousands ■of wage,and salary earners (says tho ‘‘Public" Borneo Journal”), and it must be admitted that tho outlook ' affords no ground for optimism regarding the immediate future. If tho average citizen agreed with tho Govern ' ment that widespread exploitation wan not prevalent, the recent vigour of tho Board of Trade over the price of h bottle of Mollin’s Food would not be without humour, but the man who believes that rampant exploitation in absolute necessities, keeps him poorer than he ever was before, while certain classes and individuals have obvious■lv excellent financial cause to thank Oed for the war, has little more humour to spare for the Board of Trade than wo can suppose Borne had in long past days for the fiddling of a certain Emperor.
