THE TEACHERS AND THE LEGISLA-
TURE

TURE
The school teachers of Texas number
1900. They are body of intelligent,
and many of them cultured men and
women. The discussions at the Austin
state meeting last week proved that
they feel good deal of pride in their
profession, and a strong desire to adj
vance and elevate its standard of excel
lence. That is praisworthy and
commendable spirit. They felt also
that they had not been treated with the
consideration due them by the legisla-
ture. One evidence of such lack of con-
sideration was the failure of the iegis
lature to appropriate small sum to de-
fray the travelling expenses of the state
superintendent when visiting the
schools. The teachers are anxious for
the superintendent to visit them and by
his counsel and advice aid them in
their efforts to improve the schools.
When the legislature in fit of econ
omy withheld the usual amount al
lowed for the superintendent travel
ing expenses, they felt sighted. Texas
is big state, and they know that the
superintendent could not afford to go
about over it, and pay his own
way. They knew that unless he
could see for himself what was being
done in the schools. his supervision in
an Office at Austin would be of little
value. He would be superintendent
in name only. Consequently, it was
concluded that if the legislature would
not pay his travelling expenses, they
would, in order to show their appreci
alton of the value of supervision that
supervises. But when they came to
examine their treasury it was found
practically empty, and they We're
forced 10 relinquish the idea of footing
a bill for the great state of Texas.
They could only implore the legislature

NOT CONTRACTION. BUT INITIATION

AT the meeting OF the Chamber OF
Commerce to express the sense of our
people upon the alien land law as it
| now stands, the argument was put up
that foreign loan companies did harm
by withdrawing from the country the
interest paid upon the loans, and to
that extent contracted the circulation.
Does the payment of interest leave
less money on hand than before the
acquisition of the principal? When
we get say $50, 600, 900 OF English money
we enlarge the volume OF circulation to
that extent. This money is brought
into Texas from abroad, and is added
TO what we had on hand. 1t initiates
the currency. 1t gives us more money
to work with. The payment of inter-
est on this sum may take one-tenth of
the principal from us, but we still have
ninety per cent of it on hand. And
furthermore it is claimed that the
greater amount of this interest stays
with us, being put out in new loans.
This is a sufficient answer to the
argument of contraction. 1t may be
said further that there is no contrac-
ton even to the extent of the annual
interest payment. The greater part of
this money borrowed goes to the better
ment of real property. The farmer
who borrows usually does so to i'm
prove his farm and make it more pro-
ductive. With the money obtained he
is able to bring more land under guilty.
alton, or to cultivate it more economic
ally and with better results. The in
crease in the FARMS production goes
beyond the amount of the annual inter-
est payment. By this means the
alleged drain of interest is more than
balanced, even if it were admitted that
all of that interest is sent to the mort
gage companies in England. There is
no contraction here.
If the borrower lives in town the
mortgage is usually put on his place for
the purpose of adding to its productive
ness He has vacant lot that brings
him no revenue. With the proceeds
of the mortgage he builds house that
brings him rent revenue, or that
saves him the payment of rent, and also
adds to the value of his property, and
by building up the town augments its
general prosperity and the welfare of
the whole community. He makes or
saves more than his annual interest |
charge. There is no contraction here. |
1t is in fact imitation. Every dollar
that is loaned in Texas by foreign |
mortgage companies is imitation. The
withdrawal of that money is contrac-
ton. The complaint is made that we
lack money to carry on business with |
now. What will be our condition when |
the S40,000,000 or more of foreign |
money shall have been called home,
and we are left without the use of it?
We shall know then what contraction |
means.
