Even this schedule will give

where figures show that board

OF Y months is discourag gingly
] small.
4. That few teachers in the
county, possibly the five mention
ed above, are able to lay aside a
single dollar from year to year to
provide for rainy day.
.. That no person with de-
pendents. except the superintend-
ents and principals, are permitted
to teach, the incomes being pro-
hibitive.
3. That little reward is given
for years of experience and ad-
vanced scholarship.
Z. That teachers salaries in
Lewis county, when compared
with those of other yocations
where much less preparation is re-
quired, are shockingly small.
These conditions and others
have led the committee to believe
that salary schedule to be just
to the teacher must be made with
due regard for each of these
points. And in reaching its find
ings, the committee has weighed
these and others.
In making its compilations, the
committee has used year of nine
months as basis for the working
year, since most of the county s
pedagogues work for that length
Of term, and the disbursements
for year have been spread over
a period of IL months, so that
surplus must be retained from
each Of the 9 months to support
the instructor during the remain
ing three. The committee has as
sumed that every teacher of no
matter what legal status has
right to a subsistence wage. Con-
sequently, an income could be set
below which teacher need not
contract, and, in fairness to the
rest of the profession, ought not
to contract. Based upon rising
costs, as well as upon present ad-
vanced prices, these items have
been selected with the amounts
opposite them as the requisites to
make the living wage:

SENATE IS BLAMED
FOR ANY WAGE CUT
Cox Says Failure to Ratify
Treaty Causes Unsettled

EN- ROUTE WITH GOVERNOR
cox, SIOUX CITY. Iowa, Sept 2s.-
Gov. James NJ. Cox, campaigning here
and throughout South Dakota today,
asserted that the Senatorial oligarchy
must assume responsibility for re-
ductions in wages that may come in
tho near future.
ANY decreased wages or any slump
in form prices can be traced to failure
OF the United States to assist in re-
establishing normal business condi-
tions throughout the world, he said,
adding this in turn IL attributable to
blocking of ratification OF the treaty
by the Senate.

Cox today IN definitely on record as
opposed to elimination OF Article Y
from the League OF Nations covenant,
by President Wilson as
the "heart of the treaty" In response
to an inquiry, the governor reiterated
his belief this feature OF the covenant
was simply the application OF the
Monroe doctrine to the entire world.

latest advices show that some OF this
indebtedness consist of balances on
the books of foreign banks, estab-
lished there in favor of American
creditors, and which has not been
withdrawn because OF unfavorable
exchange conditions. 1t also includes
merchandise balances, amounting to
huge sums, now greater than in for

chandise balances, officials explained,
is the result OF long extensions OF
credit granted by American export
houses to relieve their foreign GUS
toners OF pressure for immediate
funds. But another part OF the in
debtedness consists of short-term OBJ
legations of >>arious kinds which are
steadily maturing and which must be
