HULL SHOWS TARIFF AS CAUSE
 SUGAR PROFITEERING

In statement issued by Cordell Hull, Chairman of the Democratic Na- tional Committee. on the report of the Tariff Commission to President Hard emphasized the point that the tariff is the underlying cause of the present high price of sugar, without which the orgy of speculation and profiteering would not be possible. He called at tention to the fact that the Tariff Com mission did not dare deny that the tariff at least increases the price of sugar in the amount of 176 cents pound. and that the tariff Of 70 cents OH other foreign sugar k prohibitiye.-
 What happened. therefore. says Chairman Hull. was that American and Cuban owners of sugar, seeing much of the domestic beet crop mar keted. and knowing that Java and other distant sugar producing coun- tries could not and would not under take to pay freight and 2.20 cents tar fir and bring sugar 10 America to com pete with American and Cuban sugar, proceeded during January and up to this date tO boost sugar prices with the knowledge that there would be no world competition
 The statement of the Tariff Commis- sion that reduction of the tariff on sugar would not necessarily reduce the price Chairman Hull calls not even good nonsense.
 In later statement Chairman Hull suggested that the sugar barons and other heneficiaries of the proflteering tariff should he prohibited by law from making campaign contributions 10 political parties. By abolishing this debauehing and corrupting practice, he believes a repitition of this national sugar scandal could be prevented in the future

TEACHERS AND THEIR WAGES

The Teachers Employment Service of the Arkansas Educational Associa- tion has on file many applications Of teachers of all grades for employment and many others from boards who are seeking to employ teachers, including principals. superintendents and the grades. It seems difficult for the em- ployer and the employed to get to- gether. This is due very largely to a difference in salaries demanded and paid.
 There is great unrest among the teachers of the higher grades. especial ly the men. because of the compara- lively small salaries paid in Arkan- sas The teachers in surrounding states are paid much better salary and many of our best teachers are leaving the state for that reason.
 This seems to be period. of tran sition from the old system of inex- perienced and Untrained teachers to the trained and fully equipped in- structor. \ very large per cent of our teachers has come under the influence of our normal schools and the boards of directors are becoming more dis criminating in the selection of teach CTS who are thoroughly qualified for their work
 There is now difference of several hundred dollars per annum in the amount demanded by our best quail fled teachers and the amount the dis tricts feel able to pay. The whole problem therefore becomes one of school revenues and when sufficient revenues are provided and not until then. Arkansas will be able to retain teachers of the highest qualifications.

 Every year millions of diseased sweet potatoe plants are shipped into Arkansas from Tennessee, Georgia, Florida and other states, according to a statement issued by Geo. D. Becker chief inspector of the State Plant Board. Some of our best sweet po tato land has become permanently in fected with stem rot the statement continues, and it will be only mat ter of time until equally serious dis eases and pests such as foot rot and the sweet potato weevil' are intro duced in the same way. Arkansas maintains the best sweet potato certi- fication system in the South and the Arkansas State Plant Board has set the standard for disease free seed and slips ever since it's certified tion sys- therefore, no reason for going out of the state in order to bring in seed sweet potatoes and slips which are inferior to our own

squad is indulging in hard practice
this week in preparation for their
game Friday night with the Alumni
several of whom have been working
out on the school floor. The COM
petition for the various places has
fast teams being put on the floor,

been issued to the old men of the
squad. They make a very trappy
rig, distinctive and neat.
Harrington and Brennan undoubt-
edly will start Fridays game at the
forward positions with Charlie Poor
at center. Knowles will hold down
a. guard but the other is in doubt,
Charlie Hall and Hughes fighting
hard for the honor of starting the
game, while Boyd, a regular last
year, has been ill with the grippe
and is not in condition to play at
present. Plummer and WinsloW are
putting up fast game at forward
while Prince is pushing Poor hard
for center. 1t is probable that all
the squad will be given an opportu-
nifty to display their wares II the
game goes right.
The second game will be between
the Cony girls and the Girls COM
munity club team, and as both teams
have been showing we'll in practlce,
a fine game is anticipated.
