Whether the price Of bread will
go up OF down II the Gronna bill

Senators from agricultural States

Gronna calls UP his bill There is
considerable doubt whether 1t will

TEACHERS PAY
SHUTS.SCHOOLS
Three Per Cent in u. S. AL
ready Closed, Claxton
Tells City Club.

Asserting that per cent OF the
schools of the United States have
been closed because of lack Of teach
ers. DR.. Philander p. Claxton, United
States Commissioner of Education.
speaking at the weekly forum
luncheon OF the City Club. yester-
day ascribed this condition primarily
to the inadequate salaries received
by school teachers in this country.
The commissioner gave many
striking figures in support of his
contention. and showed that a mes
senger boy in Washington. fourteen
or fifteen years OF age, received
more pay than the average teacher
in one OF the proud sovereign States
of the Union. He also showed how
a street car conductor receives a
more adequate wage than some of
the high school teachers in the
Capital City OF the nation. and cal
culated that only about four-tenths
of one per cent OF the teachers of
the whole country receive more than
$500.
Future I'm Teaehers' Hands
Now. when we come to consider
how important the schools are in
the life of the nation. we face a
very serious situation in this mat
ter OF starving the teaching force,
said the commissioner. The teach
ers are the seed corn of the crop
of the future. As the farmer picks
out the best corn for the seed Of
future harvests. So should we pick
out, the best men and women-best
in character and culture, best in
professional training. best in tech
nical knowledge-in order that they
may produce a properly trained and
educated generation to whom we
may hand on the material and moral
wealth we may have acquired. But
we cannot attract to and hold in
the teaching profession the kind Of
people we wish unless we pay them
living wage.
Education was once on a charity
basis. If one was a teacher he. OF
she could get books cheaper or gro
ceries cheaper than a person IN
Some other business or profession.
But now teaching is a business
proposition. and the teacher ought
to be treated with the same even

tribute remuneration for work done
in other fields"

G. OPP. LEADER
PROMISESEARLY
TAX REDUCTION

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Hope
for an early reduction in taxes is
held out by Representative Mondell,
of Wyoming, Republican leader Of
the house, in statement prepared
for the final issue Monday of the
lie tonight.
1--WE shall enter the new session
of congress in December and the new
congress in March," said Mr.. Mon
delI's statement, with the, way
opened for a substantial reduction Of
the tax burdens"
The Republican leader in his state
mont made no prediction as to when
the lower taxes would become effec-
tive. but said reductions would not
be possible until after the close OF
the fiscal year which begins next
month.
The proposed changes in the taA
laws also were not revealed by Mr.
Mondell, although he indicated MS
disapproval of the administration
program for the discard of the eX-
cess profits 1evies. He contended that
such action at this time would mean
a shifting of burdens from large
incomes and profits to the small ana
normal incomes and prohts.'
No hope for a return to pre-War
expenditures and appropriations was
expressed by the Republican leader,
although he predicted that for the
fiscal year beginning July l., 1921,
a reduction "by upward of blillon
dollars" would be effected, making
the annual government expenses APP
proximately $9,250,00o,0O0. Fewer
government employees and smaller ap-
preparations for the army and navy
were cited by Mr.. Mondell as posi-
bilities for reductions after July L,
1921.
Mr.. Mondell estimated that for the
fiscal year beginning next month
government revenues would exceed
expenses by at least $1,046,6O4,72o
unless unusual expenditures are
incurred not contemplated by
congress in the recent session,
when $4,37S,395,280 was pro-
yided for the years expenses" In
determining the surplus, Mr.. Mondell
said he accepted the most conserT,a-
tive estimate of revenues made W
the treasury or a total OF So'4zo'-
100000.
The unbonded war debt was placed
at $3,25O,O0O,000 by Mr.. Mondell, VINO
said it was a continual menace,
but when reduced by the anticipated
surplus would bring the country
within reaching distance Of reduc-
tions of the burdens of taxation
