ment, as so many complaints are be-
ing registered over the country on ae-
count Of the low salaries paid 10

that this situation is not right. Coun-

the salaries of the teachers who will

the local school district must vote a

the good roads bonds. ! should ad-
wise every voter to cast his vote for
the good roads bonds. The most ex.
pensiye and the least effective school
is the one-room, one teacher school.
They occur in the districts which are
sparsely populated and where the
roads are unspeakable. We can not
get the consolidated schools until we
have the good roads And the con
solidated school is the solution TO
many Of the problems Of the rural
school.

Helena, Sept. 20. Unless coal
producers Of Montana restore at once
the schedule OF prices in effect Dec.

the Montana trade commission, ac-
cording to an order issued here. The
entire situation will be fully investi-
gated, the commission says. and dras-
tic steps will be taken if necessary
to reduce prices.
The commission has sent the fol

Some of the coal companies re
piled they were using the same price
basis as of Dec. ST, 1918. and others
acknowledged that advances had
been made, which they claim were
justified by reason Of the advanced
cost in supplies and materials.

per cent on some lines Of gro

lines OF clothing.
While of the opinion, from pre-
liminary investigation, that the
greater portion Of the increased cost
of living is due to the abnormal in
creased cost OF the raw material, la
bor and manufacturing prices, the
Montana trade commission, in a
formal statement says: THE fact
cannot be denied, however, that to a
certain extent the local jobber, the
wholesaler and the retailer, in de-
manding excessive margins of profit,
are also responsible for the present
condition. = The commission finds
the margins of gross profit range
from "a per cent on groceries to 81
per cent on l3 different lines of
ladies' clothing and shoes, SO per
cent on mems clothing and shoes in
seven different lines, 62 per cent on
dry goods, 50 per cent on children s
apparel and 62 per cent on bedding.
Merchants are not entitled, the
commission believes, to absorb the
profits made from pyramiding alb
normal advances on commodities that
We're purchased when values were
lower, and suggests that mercantile
organizations Of the state, before the
commission begins holding formal
hearings over the state, should get
together with d view of adopting a
uniform method OF applying a rea-
sonable margin of profit for all COM
modities and lines OF business. Com
pliance with this suggestion will ma
terially aid the commission; 'other-
wise the commission, says the
statement, ''in making its investiga-
tions, will find it necessary to bring
public opinion to bear upon the mat
ter by publishing in detail the results
