P. O’Neill, SENATE REPORT ANGERS ADVERTISING WRITERS Association 'of Clubs Draws Resolu- tions Asking for Impartial Investi- gation by Congress. St. Paul, July 25—(Special)—Re- cently a committee of the Senate which was instructed to investigate the high cost of living reported that the increase in advertising was re- sponsible for it in a great measure. Last week, the advertising men of the country met and drew up some reso- lutions.in which are embodied the basic principles of the advertising business. The resolutions were sent to the Senate, and are as follows: WHEREAS:—A committee of the United States Senate having made an investigation of the cause of the increased cost of living, and having incorporated in its report of said ic- vestigation a statement to the effect that advertising is to blame for a part of said increase in the cost of living; and WHEREAS:—Advertisiog is the life blood of business; and WHEREAS:—The volume-of ad- vertising is a barometer indication of the prosperity of the country; and WHEREAS: — Advertised com- modities are acknowledged to be standards of quality; and WHEREAS:—The history of ad- vertised articles shows one, or all, of three thing: lower price, better- ment of quality, or improvement of service; and WHEREAS:-The improved stand- ard of living in the United States of America is directly traceable to the increased distribution of high-grade food clothing, furniture and other necessities of life; and WHEREAS:—Because of the volume of advertising they carry the newspapers, magazines and other periodicals are enabled to give to their readers many times the value of the money spent for subscription in the class and character of read- ing matter provided, as well as in the quantity thereof; and WHEREAS:-—Advertising cre- ates a greater demand for an arti- cle, and by reason of that greater demand greater facilities are re- quired for . its production, and greater producing and distributing facilities invariably lower the cost and increase the service to the consumer; and WHEREAS: —The develop- ment of the commerce of this country depends upon advertising to an enormous degree, and conse- quently the wage of the laborer and the profit of the dealer are directly dependent upon advertis- ing; and WHEREAS:—The expense of ad- vertising any commodity of general sale is absorbed unconsciously in the greater volume of profits from an increased sale even at a reduced price, therefore BE IT RESOLVED by the Asso- ciation of Advertising clubs in con- vention assembled: That we deny and depreciate. the misleading and unfounded allegation of the com- mittee of the Senate of the” United States that advertising is in any manner responsible for the increased cost of living, and, further BE IT RESOLVED:—That we hereby earnestly request the Con- gress of the United States in either or both of its branches to appoint a committee or a joint committee to investigate thoroughly and con- scientiously the development, growth and purpose of advertisirg in all its aspects, with especial regard to the cost thereof and to the manner in which said cost may or may not affect the price of the commodity advertised. And be it further RESOLVED:—That we regard such an investigation asimperatively necessary in view of the stigma which said report of the = Senate| committee has placed upon adver | tising, and that the knowledge, ex- perience and facilities{of each and all members of this association will be placed at the service. of such committee or joint committee on request.

However, she managed to strike his revolver aside and the bullet wounded Senor Olivera, & personal friend of Maura. Roca made no attempt to- escape. Later his father and brother were placed under arrest charged with be- ing his accomplices. Senor Maura was not seriously hurt. He was carried aboard the steamer Miramir, where he was given medical attention and continued on his way to Majorca. Roca, who shot Maura, it is said, was a close personal friend of Ferrer and was inspired to the shooting by the death of Ferrer and the spee: of Senor Iglesias, who only a short time ago declared that Maura ought to be shot. Three thousand prisoners in the renitentiary here revolted and it re- quired the presence of a large body of troops to subjugate them. ‘The re- volt followed the institution of severe rules to prevent the prisoners from obtaining alcoholic drinks from the outside. Troops were forced to fire several volleys into the air before the riot was quelled. MRS. ETHEL SNOWDEN. Suffragette Praises American Women’s Work for the Cause.
