IMPEACHMENT
OF GOVERNOR
Row Over University Got
Texas Executive Into
Trouble.

Austin, Tex. Aug. 2s.-The Texas
house Of representatives tonight by
q vote Of 81 to 81, adopted a resoiu-
ton to present to the senate articles
Of impeachment against Governor
James e. Ferguson. A committee of
nine was appointed Immediately to

result Of the investigation Of thirteen
charges filed by Speaker F. o. Fuller
against the governor, alleging illegal
acts in Office. The articles must be
passed on by the house before they
can go to the senate. Legislative lead
ers expressed the belief that IN NEW
OF tonights vote, impeachment will
be adopted quickly.
Should the articles be signed tomor-
row, Governor Ferguson would be
Inc his place taken by Lieutenant
Governor William p. Hobby, pending
senate action.
A clash with officials Of the state
university, brought out fully at the
present hearing. has aroused much of
h stir caused by the impeachment
proceedings. Charges against the
governor were that he failed to pay
back to b state, as promised, funds
dpPIVpIiAtcu Ior at the
mansion, but spent It for groceries,
meats. vegetables and automobile ac-
.cessories; that he violated the bank
Ing laws by large loans from the
Temple State bank, in which he was
q stockholder; that he deposited stare
funds In the Temple bank for his own
benefit; that he misappropriated state
funds to pay personal obligations:
that Abilene was Incorrectly chosen AZ
the site for the West Texas Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college, and that
he sought to influence Speaker Fuller
by extending to him q long time loan.

THE JUSTIFICATION FOR IT

No one likes to see his relative or his friend called
on to give up his business and his associations to perform
military service in a foreign land. Thousands OF young
Americans are being SO called. There are two jusifca-
tons. and only two which occur to us.
First, this war, whatever may have been the protests
under which it was begun. and whatever may have been
the local ambitions Of the several original participants,
Is now seen clearly to be a struggle of democracy to live,
OF autocTacy to rule. and a struggle OF the common people
of the world to establish conditions under which, here
after, they may live in peace and enjoy the fruits of their
own labors, and govern themselves in an orderly manner
in the way which suits them best. Although the greatest
It is not by any means the first struggle Of the kind. On
the contrary, such struggles have been carried on since
the beginning of time. and because there have always
been men who were willing to fight in order that liberty
might be established, we OF this day and generation en-
JOY the measure OF liberty that is ours. The security in
which most of us live has been won by countless centur-

TAXABLE AND NON-TAXABLE BONDS

Liberty bonds Of the issue recently subscribed are
not taxable. 1t has been predicted in the senate that
later issues will not be exempted from taxation, and that
the bonds OF the original issue will soon be recalled and
retired.
The defect in the plan Of making bonds non-taxable
is that it provides a means whereby the man Of large
income may escape the progressive income tax. II in
come taxes were levied at a flat percentage to apply all
the way through, regardless Of the amount of the income,
1t would make little difference to the government or the
individual whether the bonds were taxable or not. Aside
funds. and regarded solely as a matter OF investment. In
order to market its bonds the government would pe
obliged to pay interest rates which would yield a net in
come equal to the net income derived from other forms
OF investment. due allowance being made for long time
and security.
Assume that investments Of equal destrability from
the standpoint Of security and convenience with gov
eminent bonds yield ,the investor a net income Of 8 per
cent. Assume that all Incomes are taxed 25 per cent.
In order to sell its bonds the government would need TO
make the interest rate 4 per cent. One-fourth Of this,
or / per cent, would be paid in taxes, and the remain
ing 3 per cent would be the investors net return. The
bonds would then be marketable. Or, If the income from
the bonds were exempted from taxation, they could be
sold at 3 per cent. In either case the government would
be in the same financial position in the end. In the one
case 1t would receive less in taxes and pay less in inter-
est. In the other case it would receive more taxes and
pay less interest. The investors account would be bal
anced in the same manner.
80 But, with progressive tax. which takes more ana
more as the income increases, the situation Is different.
A man whose income is q million dollars a year could
escape the payment Of any income tax at all by investing
his entire capital In bonds. The untaxed bond therefore
enables the rich manic evade the income tar, or a-con-
siderable portion of It.

SUBMARINE SINKlNGS

The havoc wrought by German submarines is seri.
ous enough, and It is all the more deplorable. An that a
large number of the victims are civilians, having no con-
nection with the war other than that they are citizens
of one or other of the warning countries.
But the figures from the British marine records
which are published each week, show how very far the
submarines come from accomplishing their object. OF
late the number Of sinkings has %dwind1ed. Last week
fifteen large vessels were sunk, and in the previous week
fourteen. These losses are important, Of course, because
the vessels sunk would either be carrying freight needed
by the British people or were on their way for such
cargoe.
Der of sinkings. Last week, while submarines were sink
ing fifteen large vessels and three small ones, 1888 vessels
arrived at British ports and 27s4 vessels sailed from them.
The Germans, with their ruthless submarine warfare.
can harrass the British, and through them ell the Allies,
but so long as immune ships going to and from British
ports are numbered by thousands and those sunk by
to win.

BUYING COAL

Every year most of the coal dealers Of the northwest
urge the public to place coaisorders early, so that delivery
may be made before cold weather sets in, and winter will
find q large proportion Of the people OF the northwest
with fun bins. Quite frequently the statement is made
that this is merely a trick Of the dealers to stimulate bust
ness. A little thought will convince one of the unreason-
ableness of this view. The quantity OF coal to be used in
a district is practically a hxed quantity, varies only by
weather conditions. A man with a house Of given size
will burn, say, ten tons OF coal in a year when the weather
c%onditions are normal. It doesn't make any difference
when he buys his coal or what he pays for 1t, he will use
neither more nor less, provided he can get coal when he
wants It. No one overheats his house or forces his In
dustrial steam plant merely because coal is cheep or
because he has a full bin. The fact is, therefore, that II
they can get the coal the dealers Of the northwest will
sell Just about SO much. no matter at what time OF the
year 1t is bought. Hence 1t is not reasonable to suppose
that the dealers are trying to trick the consumers into
buying what they will not need.
But leave the coal dealer out OF the question alto
gether. Consider the case of the consumer. He wants
coal when he wants 1t. He must have it or be put to
serious Inconvenience. Perhaps he can get 1t In the
winter. Perhaps he cannot. Most OF our coal comes TO
us by way of Duluth. The docks at Duluth have been
ton to guarantee deliveries. Through the agency or the
government transportation matters have been so arrang-
ed that larger northwestern shipments FOR the rest Of the
season are probable. But there will be no supernatural
ance in any event.
Aside from the quantity Of GOAL at the head Of the
lakes. there is the question of transportation. Coal on the
Duluth docks will not warm a North Dakota home. It
must be got here. And those OF us who have lived here
for any length OF time know something OF what may
happen to transportation In the dead Of winter. It is
quite possible for conditions to exist which will make i'm
possible the turning Of q wheel between here and the
lakes for a week or two at a time. Then of what avail is
the store OF coal on the docks2
The Herald has for years urged upon all public
bodies that they purchase and receive their years coal
whenever possible in the summe months, and upon in
~dividuals who have storage facilities to do the same. If
this were generally done a large part OF the Northwest
ern demand would be taken care of before cold weather
sets in. There would remain to be supplied only the small
consumers. and with the big orders ont Of fhe way fhnse
could be supplied more easily ana with less lnconven-
fence. This summer there have been very liberal coal
purchasers, and the northwest Is DOUBTLESS in better shape
in the matter Of fuel than It has been at the same time OF
the year ON any former occasion.
