The Story of Cooked Lines.

Economists always claim that there is nothing
Of such absorbing interest figures They find in
them thrilling tales of intense interest
fairy tales to the young. They find precepts and

confirmation and prophecy.
To the ordinary mortal they usually just

much enlightenment in table Of, figures and a
couple of crooked lines a checkerboard published

average newspaper reader could find in it balm, or
otherwise for a disturbed mind 49,
1t compared the exports and imports Of the
United States for 1910 and 1920. 1t showed that
exports reached the high peak in June, 1910, just
when imports at very low level 1t told
that after exports dropped to the bottom the fol-
lowing month both they and imports climbed stead
ly with periodic reactions until March of 1920,
when exports again began slipping, but imports in
creased reaching the highest twoyear level in June
Since then imports have steadily fallen until in
December they level with January, 1910,
while exports kept to fairly high point, much
above the like period of 1919.
AS a whole 1920 showed gain in exports and
imports combined of $I,7oo 100000. But of this only
5000 100000 was to be credited to exports while i'm
ports gained $I,37s,oooooo. Add this to the fact
that the period of a marked slump in imports be-
gan June I, practically concfient with the six
months OF national liquidation, and the story seems
complete.
If liquidation is its end, if the national
financial condition is strong the Federal Re-
serve Bank statements indicate if the revival of in
dustry just begun is to restore the average of pur
chasing power, a swift upward turn in imports is
to be expected.
This would clearing of credits, renewed
credit ability and with the coming of the Foreign
Trade Financing Corporation just at this Psyctolog

make confidence conviction of the day of great
prosperity.

A Needed Co-operation.s

THE Herald has had some things to say of the
Bureau of Estimates of the Agricultural De-
partment and the department as a whole.
No one should misjudge that The Herald is fault
finder. AL that has been said, or will be, is with
the intent of helpful sympathy
No other country in the world has as thorough,
as complete and sympathetically checked system
Of crop estimates the United States through this
bureau of the department. This so fully rec
ognized at the recent meeting of the international
Institute of Agriculture at Rome, that Mr.. Esta-
brook, chief of the bureau, made president OF
this international organization
1t is also true that no other country has any
rhng comparable to the American Board OF Trade
system for the marketing of grain crops. Neither
has any other country anything comparable in conf
pleteness to the organization OF agricultural pro-
ducers now being perfected here nationally.
These three organizations representing the gov
ernment traders and producers are largely ntcrde-
pendent in many ways. 1t is of prime Importance
that each should have thorough understanding of
the others. They should cooperate. They should
have mutually friendly and supporting attitude
In this way their service to each other could be
made more effective and so be vastly valuable
to the country a whole. None of these agencies
the Department of Agriculture, the privately or
ganized system of trading and the FcderaIzed farm
bureaus-can afford for themselves stand apart.
The Bureau of Estimates soon combine with
that Of Markets and later it is to be hoped with
Farm Management, excellent as it is, better as
It will be in the broader field, is not perfect. 1t has
many needs including much ample funds and
resultant greater accuracy OF efficiency
No more are the market exchanges perfect.
Both subject to criticism. Both criticised
by their own members. Both have inevitable in
terest and in the national organization of
farm producers. 1t is The Heralds hope to aid
L., I.1r
not admit that they be in any antagonis-
tic, and either hope for measurably complete
service
We believe that if they come to a working un-
derstanding, every needed improvement each de-
sires can be secured and that beyond doubt result
would be giving the Agricultural Department that
support which will make it what it must be for the
future good of the United States: one of the first
whose requests will be recognized by Congress.

College Teachers Salaries.

The railroad men protest against any cut in
their wage and salary scales. They threaten to
strke-according their officials-if any Of their
pay is taken from them. Instead of the pay merely
keeping pace. tagging little behind the cost of
living, they now enjoying the greater pay with
downslide of living costs.
On the other hand college teachers are demand
ing salary increases. Though not organized to
strike and not usually fitted for diversity of vo-
cation, they have abundant for complaint
and this recognized by Mr. Rockefeller when
he set aside $4,000 600 be used a sort of COL
ege teacher bonus fund
In administering this fund the General Educa-
tion Board has made comparison of college SAL
aries with the pay of the railroad workers 1t has
found that of S,54o teachers in $50 academic inst
utons, 40 per cent have salary equal to that Of
railroad yard switchnan, about $4,000 year. Only
80 per cent get much as passenger hremen IS
per cent as much as passenger conductors and only
IL per cent get $500 a year.
One-third Of the S54o get less than any railroad
worker Yet the teachers have had IS per cent
increase. 1t is too, bad the two bodies, railroad
workers and college teachers could not swap places
trying out each others jobs for practical compari-
son. Would either be more contented?
But as matter of fact is not the trouble with
the colleges a rivalry in specialization? Are not
too many of them trying to do too much? Do they
not scatter beyond reason at sacrifice of both thor
oughness and concentrated, effort? Specialization in
education seems to have gone beyond both real
benefit and earning ability for the student.
Colleges have a natural ambition to expand
Each wants to have and do what any others do
They diferentiate courses with sacrifice of fun
dainentals, They turn out product so specialized
as to be narrowed 1t might be far better to re-
duce the specializing of courses and so reduce the
number OF teachers while increasing materially the

Worth While to Be a Texan.

1t may be that mans income tax may be
more or less, not according to his income, but to
the State in this Union in which he lives 1t is
rather surprising that State laws can effect the
Federal income tax, but that is the ruling, which
would to permit State law to supersede a
Federal law
Minnesota once had tax law which based ex-
emption on property ownership. Everyone who
owned property allowed fixed exemption from
taxation Under this law livestock and other farm
personally regularly returned owned by the
entire family Similarly household goods and other
taxable holdings of community residence belonged
at tax time, to, the children and wife we'll as
the of the family.
This resuIted in a sort of singIe-tax situation
where the State got nothing. The law re-
pcaled and in its place a single exemption was al
lowed for the entire family. This is similar to the
Federal income tax law where a married man has
a $4,000 exemption with $500 for each child under
IS years.
But Texas has Community tax law, so
called, which, by a ruling based decision OF
the Department of Justice, allows the family in
come to be split up somewhat as personality
under the old Minnesota law. The result of this
is an avoidance of surtaxes.
If Texan has an income Of $4,000, he need
pay no surtax, while if Of another State without
such State law, he would have to pay $rIot If
the IeXapS income Should De 10000, he would
pay up to SEQ; while in another State this would
be up to $7Io. A hke comparison on a $4,000
income favors Texas to the extent of $1,000, and
on an income of 100000, SI2,4oo.
1t would seem profitable for man of con-
siderable fortune to acquire a residence in the
Lone Star State, distinguished as the home State
at sometime of several distinguished members of
this administration, though it cannot really be held
responsible for this fact is the fact responsible
for this peculiar effect of State law on Federal
law.

Neuest Cub
IS Years Old
Veteran Member of the
House to Write for
OlDn Paper.
BY LABERT ST. CLAIR.

There are just as many cub re-
poFters in Washington as there are
in other cities of its size through
out the country, but there will be
a notable addition to the number
after March 4 next, when the re-
suits of the late and well-known
landslide become manifest in the
halls of Congress.
The newest cub in the press gall
Ieries of the Senate and House is
Gen. Isaac Sherwood, of Toledo,
Ohio. who fought in forty three
battles in the civfl war; was men
toned for gallantry ten times; has
served eight terms in Congress, and
who generally has distinguished
himself.
The General was IS years old
last August, and is one Of the old
est men in point of years in the
House. His first term was served
in the Forty third Congress. the
same one to which Uncle Joe Can
non came as a new member. The
Ohioan's service has not been con
tinuous, but he knows enough sbOu,
the ins and outs of Congress ional
affairs to give his paper a lively
account of what his former col
leagues and the Executive end OF
the government are doing.
A lot of men in Congress much
younger than Gen. Sherwood have
been happy in past years, when pO-
lttical landslides or avalanChes have
swept them out of office, to grab
on some government job, become a
lame duck" and retire in the army
of Federal offlce-holders.
Not SO the General. He expects
to be real live 'leg-man" for the
News-Bee, and the correspondents
of the other Ohio newspapers will
have to shake a wick ed hoof to get
ahead of him on local or national
news.
1t pays to advertise ones poverty,
Senator Jim Watson, OF Indiana,
thinks.
A certain tailor of Indianapolis in
the last campaign was quite con-
vinced in his own mind that Watson
was a most unworthy and abso-
lutely UNIT man for public position,
as result Of the campaign con-
Quoted against him.
About ten days before the cleo
tion one of the bell boys Of the Co
lumbia Club brought to this par
ticualr tailcr-by mere chance-a
pair of trousers belonging to Sem
ator Watson to be pressed. 1t was
a hurry-up job, being the only pair
that the Senator had at the time
The tailor started pressing them
and, to his amazement, discovered
that the trousers were badly frayed
ae the edges and worn and showed
other evidence that the owner was
apparently not spending his money
for elegance in clothes, whereupon
he announced he was for Watson.

this day forward" he said. Amy

clothes for so long a time as these
have been worn is surely a square
and upright man and l am for him
