THE BAR TO EMPLOYMENT.

Although unemployment is gradually receding there
is still enough remaining to be a disturbing element
in resumption of prosperity. The Journal of Com
merce takes a very sensible and concise view in the
following:
There is no lack Of work to do in this country
Ten thousand enterprises, ten hundred Jobs, big and
little, are awaiting workers in the cities and towns.
Everywhere industrial demands exist. Why, then, i.
there widespread unemployment?
There is just one answer to this question. Work
is locked up for one reason alone-wages. The wage
rate demanded is excessive-in the building trades. in
construction work Of all kinds, in industrial plants
By excessive, we mean larger than ~justifes employ.

$50 far as outward signs go industry would hum

wage scale that would not freeze up all industrial ad.
vances. Unemployment, in our opinion, is certain to
grow more general until the wage rate is reduced Ia
a point where goods can be produced at prices the pub
lie is willing to pay"

100000 pounds Of peanuts. Of which <2.6oo,Cs0
pounds were sheled- During the presiding year the
United States imported the equivalent Of 192. 900, 900
pounds Of unshelled nuts Most Of the importations
Dor is employed in the production Of the nuts and IN
the Smelling In addition, this country imported huge
quantities OF peanut oil which represents not only the
nuts but the labor employed in extracting the oil.
Possibly, IL he were asked the direct question rs
to this one commodity Mr.. Kitchin would say that he
favors q high import duty on peanuts, for revenue
only" but that answer would be insineere- A man who
Is for protection only on the commodities produced in
his own district and under the subterfuge Of revenue,
is no professionals at all II every Congressman were
for free trade on all commodities except those Of his
own district, there would be no protective tariff on
any commodity. Unless a man is for protection as a
matter of economic principle, and is willing that his
farof fellow citizen shall be protected in the same
degree as his Immediate neighbors, he is not a pro-
tectionist There can be no protective tariff unless
i'll law enacted, and Mr.. Kitchin never wants a gen.
eral protective tariff law, however much he may stand
for protection Of his home industries.
But in another respect, this action Of his fellow
townsmen must be q bitter pill for Mr.. Kitchin. 1t
was his party that permitted the war finance corpora
ton to die-refused to revive it. The Republican
party revived the corporation and now his fellow citi-
Gems and n~eighbors are appealing to that institution
for help.
In two Important particulars, therefore, the pea
nut growers Of North Carolina and Virginia pay their
compliments to the superior wisdom of Republicans.
They assert their need of a protective tariff to pro-
tect them from the cheap importations of the Orient,
and they appeal for the assistance Of a War Finance
corporation to tide them over an emergency-an aid
made possible by the Republican party after failure
of the Democrats.
1t would seem as though the substantial people of
North Carolina and Virginia would soon begin to vote
their opinions at the polls as well as to express them
when they get together in business meetings.

THE DELcADo TRAINING SCHOOL.

The problem of vocational training is being helped
along in New Orleans, where the Delgado Central
Trades School, the first distinctive unit trades school
in the country has opened with a large enrolment
made up chiefly of ex-soldiers, sailors and marines,
whose training expenses will be paid by the Federal
Board for Vocational Education. Press accounts of
the school state that 'the returned soldiers will use
its surplus capacity and by the time they have all been
put into profitable lines of industry the school will
leans who wish to become skilled artisans" Thus it
will be seen that the school is intended as a perma-
nent affair which will not close with the completion
of the program which the federal board has in mind.
The chief purpose of this new school is to prepare
students for skilled occupations. SIN the past says
the report, "the boys who inclined to mechanical lines
had no place where they could go for training. As a
result, they either became unskilled laborers, or they
went elsewhere to learn, and settled elsewhere" One
novel and extremely useful phase of this school viii
be the cafeteria where steam cooking will be taught
to those desiring to become chefs, and who will at the
same time supply the pupils with meals at the lowest
possible price. Who can estimate the amount Of waste
which would be avoided If we had more wel-trained
chefs?
Another phase which win work to preserve the bal
ance of supply and demand in the labor market Is
that by which the trades that are to be taught are
the various local trades as shown by government CEN
sus reports. These trades include carpentry, cabinet
making, pattern-making, plumbing, painting and tai
loring. The school will be supported by a state tax of
about $4,000 annually, together with some federal
aid, and its foundation has been made possible by the
bequest of Isaac Delgado to the city when he died in
1912, by which a trades school could be built IL the
city provided for its operation. It will be an inter
esting experiment in vocational and trades education.

THE TAX MESS.

1.-THE more the details of the senate tax measure
compromise comes into broad daylight" says the New
sense and political sincerity must condemn the COM
promise.
Nobody that thinks straight can possibly conceive
that a program in time of peace that takes 4S per
cent Of incomes between 500, 900 and S1bO,000, 10
per cent Of incomes between $500 900 and 100000
and 80 per cent of incomes exceeding 100000 could
fail ultimately to drive into tax exempt securities all
such large incomes as might be derived from invest
ments in ordinary" taxable securities.
"This would not yield revenue to the national treas
ury; it would cut off revenue from the national treas
ury. At the same time it would divert all such in
vested capital from active and necessary industrial and
business development upon which depend the produc-
ton of the country and the bread and butter of the
wage Garner.
"As for the investment which could not be with
drawn so readily from the going plant in which the
ownership's capital is locked up, the taS- .fGr--ring to
such an extent the earnings going as income TO the
industrial owner, would prevent his putting fresh capt.
tai into similar or different enterprises.
big incomes are not spent in the common accept
ance of the term. They form the capital supply for
industrial expansion and increased employment. To
exact a tax which is prohibitive of surplus income ac-
emulation is to drysup the fountains which feed that
capital supply.
SIT is not to be ignored by any intelligent mind that
such permanent conditions would stife all incentive in
this country, and a country without incentive is a
country on which death has settled.
at is \ hopeless mental i~ncapacity which cannot see
that when there is no fresh capital available to start
new and greater enterprises for a country whose des-
tiny has been to grow it is going to stop growing. 1t
is the blindest kind of blind ignorance which cannot
see that when a country stops growing its fate is to
die of dry rot.
"But the majority of the United States congress is
not SO blind and ignorant as all that. If, therefore,
congress persists in or tolerates such a policy Of ma
tional strangulation no other conclusion is possible by
men Of sound sense and honest convictions than that
this congress, elected to save the country from eco
nomic crime and industrial wreck, Is willing to sell its
~bfrthright for the votes of superstition and folly"

PROMISED TO REPEAL 1T.

It has not been SO long ago that the fact has faded
from our memory. that both political parties in the
campaign of 1920 advocated repeal of the excess
profits tax.
The Republican platform declared: Sound policy
demands the early accomplishment Of that real reduc-
ton of the tax burden which may be achieved by sub
shutting simple for complex tax laws and procedure
prompt and certain determination Of the tax liability
for delay and uncertainty; tax laws which do not, for
tax laws which do, excessively mulct the consumer or
needlessly repress enterprise and thrift"
The Democratic platform advocated tax reform and
a searching revision Of the revenue acts to At peace
conditions, $50 that the wealth of the nation may not
be withdrawn from productive enterprise and diverted
to wasteful or non-productive expenditure
These expressions have always been construed to
apply to the excess profits tax.
If there has been any doubt as to the meaning of
the two political platforms on this subject, this doubt
would have been removed by the Interpretation placed
thereon by the two leading candidates.. In his first
front porch" talk at Marion on July 81, Mr.. Hard
ing said of the excess profits tax: ats operations have
been Disappointing, its costs multiplied and ~pyramided,
and righteous changes and notifications ought TO be
sought at an early date"
In an address issued to the press ON September IL.
1920, he said: eve must readjust our internal taxa
ton, especially the excess profits tax, to remove the
burdens it imposes upon the will to create and pro-
duce whether that will is the will of the big corpora
ton, the small corporation, or Of the individual"
In his address to Congress at the opening of the spe-
cial session, he said: 1--WE are committed to the repeal
OF the excess profits tax and the abolition Of ineaui-
ties and unjustifable exasperations in the present
system"
In an article written by him fos the New York
Times and published in the issue of MAY 2s. 1920.
long before he had been nominated by the Democratic
party, Mr.. Cox said. ''The excess profits tax, which
was justified during the war, is not needed now" In
his speech of acceptance Mr.. Coz declared: 81 believe
that a better form Of taxation than the so-called ex-
cess profits tax may be found"
II any man Of prominence in either political party
took any exception whatever to the platform pledges
OF the utterances of presidential candidates on the
subject, such qualification of the party pledges 4, not
known to the American people.
