Final Report of Legislative Investigators Into
High Cost of Living Says Evil Is in All
Cases Traceable to Combinations
Special to The Daily Tribune.

Special to The Daily Tribune.
Helena, March 9.-Laws to reach the
despotic attitude toward the consumer OF
which the committee accuses the whole
salers of Montana, are advocated in the
final report of the legislative probers of
the high cost of living, made in the clos
ing days of the assembly just closed.
This suggestion is made upon the
fasis of conclusions reached by the com
mittee, that extortionate prices com
planned of are in all cases traceable to
trade combinations.
The committee therefore urges price
supervision under a law permitting com
plaint and redress to those who feel that
they have just cause to complain rela-
tive to high prices. The report says
on this point:
Your committee is fully aware of the
criticisms which may be offered at even
the suggestion that the state seek to
prevent unreasonable and excessive pro-
fits and do not intend to enter into dis
cussion Of the legal phase of this prin-
ciple further than to say that if state
supervision will prevent eventual state
ownership, the experiment is well worth
consideration and trial.
Sought Profit Basis.
The full text of the report follows:
To the Honorable Senate and House
Of Representatives Of the Sixteenth
Legislative Assembly:
Gentlemen:
We, your joint committee appointed to
make investigation into the costs Of
production and prices charged to the
consumer, beg leave to submit the fol-
lowing supplemental report:
Your committee examined Il number
of witnesses, comprising persons en-
gagged in the buying and selling Of com
modities and articles Of merchandise,
and made such investigation as our
limited time permitted. The examina-
ton of the financial statements of per-
sons and firms were made in order that
a basis of percentage of profits derived
j right be ascertained and determined.
Your committee assured all those ap-
pearng as witnesses that neither their
names. business or place of residence
would be used in any of the reports sub
II tilted, to the end that confidential
statements made would not be to their
dctriment For this reason the report
will neither contain reference to the
individual nor place of business of those
testifyinc before the committee. The
grade and quality Of the manufactured
articles furnished to the trade in many
INSTANCES was admitted to be very in
ferior to that before the war.
Style Now Big Price Facto-.
Your committee have taken into con
sideration the facts that change Of
styles. normal wear. ordinary deteriora-
tion and cost of doing business must be
considered in Determining the price at
which an article can be sold. The ori-
sinal system of fixing prices. namely
grade. quality and cost. are not the sole
