CALLATIN TOWNS
ARE HEAVY LOSERS
in RECENT QUAKE

Bozeman, July Tt will require
S62,057 to repair the damage caused
by the recent Montana earthquake to
five Gallatin county schools in the dis
turbance center, according to the re-
port of State Architect r. C. Hugenin
to the state board of examiners, meet
ing here Tuesday. The board visited
the stricken aera Monday.
The amount, explained the archi-
tect, takes account of nothing except
work necessary to make the buildings
habitable and safe for occupancy. All
repairs not incident to the earthquake
damage are not considered. No pro-
vision is made for decoration of in
teriors, extensions or for salvaging
or restoring equipment The esti-
mates, Architect Hugenin explained,
are based on figures prepared on the
cost to the state by Fred P. Wilson,
Bozeman architect and Professor w.
5. Plew of the department of archi-
lecture of Montana State college. The
amount is figured Oh the cost-plus con-
tract basis, which the architect adj
vises for the reason that it cannot be
definitely determined in the prelim-
mary survey exactly what amount of
the construction now standin@ must
be removed and the reconstruction of
the five buildings may be considered
as one job.
The individual repair costs are es-
timated as follows;
Willow Greek school, $1,271; Three
Forks school, slS,S6s;. Manhattan
grade school $13,99s; Logan school,
$6,62S; Manhattan high school, $1O,-
492; cost of handling $1,S00.

COOLIDGE FAYORS
REDUCED INCOME
and OTHER TAXES

President Coolidge has been spend
ing his vacation for two weeks past at
Swampscott, Massachusetts,. While
there he is thinking over some of the
important issues in the affairs of the
government, among them the income
tax. The president feels that the
next reduction in taxes should be made
in incomes all along the line
While leaving the actual prepara-
tion of the tax bill in the hands of the
tax committee and treasury officials,
Mr. Coolidge hopes that it will provide
for general relief and at the same
time make possible the greatest
amount of returns in revenue
To accomplish this end MIR. Coolidge
thinks the maximum surtax should be
cut at least to 25 per cent. If it is
the opinion of experts, however, that
smaller tax rate, even as low as
IL per cent, would produce greater
returns to the government and stim-
ulate business, he would favor this
rate.
The president also stands on his
previous pronouncement that the in
heriatnce tax should be greatly re-
duced if not previously wiped out.
The president conferred with Chair
man Green, of the house ways and
means committee, just before leaving
Washington, on the matter, it vas an
nounced Tuesday. He will call the
committee together to draft a bill in
October, when final figures of the
treasury surplus will be at hand

new STORE is TO
Be OPENED HERE
ONE OF 676 j. C. PENNEY co. DRY
GOODS AND CLOTHING STORES
In Twenty Three Years, the Nation
Wide Organization Has Increased
Its Annual Sales from Nearly s29,-
900 to 5,0OO,0O0-Sells for Cash
Only.

Considerable interest Is being mani
tested in the new mercantile concern
soon to occupy the store in the Pollard
Hotel block on Broadway. The open
ing date has not been announced.
The new store will be conducted by
the j. C. Penney Company operating
one Of the largest If not the largest
multiples of department stores in tsss
world. It has 676 stores, scattered in
A states.
1t is a strong organization fnan-
cially. The annual statement as OF
December 31st. last, shows surplus OF
So, ABS, ,6b5.69.
Mr.. James Cash Penney founded the
company in April. 1902, at Ksmmerer,
Wyoming, doing gross business the
first year Of $2s,S9s.11 In 1924, twen-
ty-three years later, the gross busi-
ness amounted to s74,261, ,343. We are
told that the company estimates its
business this year in excess of $780,
100000.
Some people may receive a wrong
impression Of the kind Of merchandise
sold by the j. c. Penney Company be-
cause of the founders name. The
name penney" is confused with the
word penny" The company handles
dry goods, apparel for women, misses,
young men, youths and boys, furnish
ings and shoes for the whole family,
notions and kindred lines.
1t is plain to be seen that because
Of the enormous amount of merchan-
disc required for GIG stores, their abil-
ity to buy from manufacturers is I'M
excelled and rarely equalled. Uni
formly low selling prices are natural
outcome Of the strong position the
company occupies in the market.
The manager of each store selects
his own goods from the stocks submit
ted by the company's buyers in New
York, who are constantly in the
market, thus being in a position con-
tinuously to provide the requirements
Of the people in his community.

ways, the j. C. Penney Company diff
fers from what are commonly called
chain stores. Further individual eff
