Letters received by this column from
workers contain more complaints
about high rents than about anything
else.
What has caused high rents?
Mainly, the high wages ruling in the
building trades.
When the buildings were being put
up five years ago fully one-half of the
total cost went for material and lit
tie less than one-half for labor. The
latest statistics show that only two
fifths of the cost of building now goes
into material and three-fifths goes to
labor.
The cost Of living in this country
reached its peak in 1920. Since then
it has fallen one-third. In many in
dustries, including railroading, wages
have come down since the 1920 peak,
but in the building trades in New York
wages have increased 20 per cent or
one-fifth.
Business in this country is good.
1t doubtless will remain good If we
will let it. But our prosperity is not
fool-proof.
One thing which would shake it
would be nationwide strikes. We al
ready are suffering from an anthracite
strike. and the United Mine Workers
president, John L. Lewis, hints that
unless President Coolidge acts, the
trouble will spread to the soft coal
industry. An agitation for higher
wages is brewing among railroad
workers and such agitations
can be expected periodically so long as
railway executives persist in working
many of their employees seven days
week and every week of the year.
Now come demands from New YORK
building trade mechanics and laboT-
ers for higher pay.
A healthy feature of business dur
ing the current year, and a feature
gratifying to all of us who have to
meet household bills, has been the sat
isfactory course of commodity prices.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics at
Washington. Dun's and Irving Fisher.
all record that commodity prices are
lower today than they were on Janu-
airy /.
This proves that, notwithstanding
the very large volume of business done
during 1925, we are not suffering from
initiation of prices, from high costs Of
living.
The whole country may be hurt II

HUGE TARPAULIN TO

The University of Illinois may be
the first university to cover its foot
ball field with a rubberized material
to protect it from rain.
George Huff, athletic director, said
such a covering was being used sue
cessfully by major .easue baseball
clubs and, as a result of Saturdays
game, he was considering making the
same use of it for the gridiron.
1t will cost $4,000 to $4,000.
A coach at small college once
used a circus tent for his purpose but
as far as is known, no rubberized

been made especially for this purpose.

JUDGE PRAY MAY
SIT ON FEDERAL
BENCH IN N. Y

Great Falls, Oct. 19.-Judge Charles
N. Pray of Great Falls, Judge for the
Montana district of United States dis
triet court, has been invited by Chief
Justice Howard Taft of the United
States supreme court to sit on the
federal bench in New York City in
November if his Montana work will
permit the transfer.
Judge Pray said that he had not yet
reached decision as to whether or
not he would be able to leave the state
in response to the invitation. Judge
George M. Bourquin, the other fed
eral judge in this district, is presiding
in Prescott, Ariz.
Judge Pray met Chief Justice Taft
during the latter's term as president
when the local iurist was Montana
congressman. When Judge Pray re-
ceived the appointment the chief
justice wrote him expressing the
hope that he would be able to take the
bench in one Of the eastern districts at
some time.

SUPREME TRIBUNAL
UPHOLDS LAW BAN
ON SUNDAY DANCES

Montana laws do not permit dancing
on Sunday in places where admission
is charged. The Montana supreme
court made this decision Saturday in
denying an application of Joseph
Klune Of Butte for = writ of habeas
corpus to deliver him from the custody
of the sheriff Of Silver Bow county by
whom he is technically held on q
charge of illegally operating a dance
hall on Sunday. The action was
brought to test the law. The writ was
denied,
In 1915, the Legislature amended
the Sunday dance law to prohibit dane
ing in any place where liquor is sold
klune's attorneys claimed that this
amendment limited the dance prohi-
bition to such halls.
Chief Justice L. L. Galloway. who
wrote the courts opinion, opposes this
view. He declares that the history Of
the act shows that, for half century
it has been the policy of the territory
and state to maintain Sunday closing
laws.

Kalispell, Oct. 10. In a talk before
the Kiwanis club ut Kalispell, Henry
Good of Whitefish, chairman of the
state highway commission. made a
plea for the three cent tax on gasoline,
which money, he said, would be turned
over to the state highway commission,
acting AZ central body, for disburse-
ment on primary roads. In this way
he declared, the state would be enabled
to obtain benefits from federal aid
which the county commissioners failed
to match last year.
The fault is not with the commits
toner's, Mr.. Good said. for they are
only executing the will of the people.
The consequences, however, he pointed
out, are serious, for $650,000 of fed
eral aid money has just been lost by
Montana
In july, 1926" predicted the speak
err, there will probably be 100000
lost for the same reason-because
the county officials are not matching
the federal aid money" Mr.. Good
believes that in 1927 there will no
longer be federal aid available for
highways in the western states.
Under the system of disbursing the
state gas and license taxes inaugural
ed by the last Legislature, the funds
for building roads through the state
are handled by 55 different depart
ments, one in each county. The result
Mr.. Good declared, is lack of co-ord-
nation and the loss of the federal aid
money. The solution of the problem,
he maintained, is in the three cent tax
on gasoline to go to the building and
maintenance of primary roads, with
the license taxes going to the counties
for the local roads.
