THE COST OF LIVING.
(To Hie Editor.) Sir. —1 beg 1,0 commend to the ladles of Hamilton and Waikato the action taken by the “Women’s Citizens’ Association” of Dunedin (as sfeen in yesterday’s Times) in pledging themselves from refraining to buy goods other than necessities for six months. Men. as well as women, might lake a similar step for a certain period to try and lower prices, especially in the clothing line, and by combined action, put down much of the profiteering done by business men. I think if the Government put some of the worst offenders in prison it would have a very steadying effect on the trouble complained of. — I arn, etc., FAIR DEAL. Hamilton, I ill: May, I'J2O.
