Continued from Pare Ono)
amount of profits made by the Gov
eminent out Of wheat during the
Iwar).
SO. That said corporation shall
have full power to buy and sell wheat
grown in the U. S., the entire cror
if necessary.
Capital Sufficient
"The proposed capital is sufficient
Cooperative concerns without any
capital are now borrowing 65 percent
of the value Of wheat. In Canada dur
ing the World War, the farmers were
advanced at the time of delivery IS
percent by the government, and the
balance at the end of the crop mar
keting year. In this way the wheat
farmers themselves can largely fl
nance the operation as the banks will
loan, as now, IS percent of the value.
"You will observe it is the purpose
to sell the exportable surplus abroad
at the best prices obtainable, using
orderly methods of marketing. Then
sell the balance for United States
consumption for the world level of
prices plus 80 cents, the amount of
the tariff. This would yield for the
wheat farmers $4,000, 900 over and
above what they would otherwise
receive.
"The saving of $4,000. 900 can be
effected without making any special
appeal to farmers for their cooper
alton. That is to say, it is not de-
pendent upon their cooperation. It is
believed, however, that with the pres
tige of big Government institution
like the United States Wheat Cor
poration, the leadership can be such as
to bring about successful acreage re-
duction through the cooperation Of
the farmers, to the extent of wiping
out the entire United States wheat
surplus. As our United States surplus
is larger than the world surplus, it
would wipe out the world surplus and
leave a decided shortage. Many be-
'lieve this would spell $500 wheat. If
any one thinks this plan is tame, they
have another guess coming. In fact, it
has such great potentialities, men,
bers of Congress will probably insist
en- writing into the Law provisions to
make it the duty Of the directors to
plan always to have reasonable
swheat surplus in the United States,
and that a maximum price be fixed
at something like $3.50 per bushel.
Handled on World Level
''In working out this plan, wheat
for export and flour for export would
both have to be handled upon the ba-
sis Of the world level Of prices, which
should be made as high as possible
under system Of orderly sales, and
without dumping.
rehabilitation legislation must be
obtained through the approval Of
both the President and the Congress.
As between them, President Harding
is undoubtedly the more friendly to
agriculture. If we can't get the Pres
ident to call Congress together now,
the chance Of getting any kind Of
wheat price sterilization at the reg
ular session will be in doubt"

DR.. GREGG. OF HAMPTON

The evening session was held in
the Audience Hall of the Institute
the whole body of students and a few
visitors being present. Most eniov-
able music was furnished by the
Choral Society under the direction
OF Miss Anna Lindsay, head of the
music department of the Institute
The entire student body sang jubi-
lee songs to the delight of the visi-
tors. The speakers of the evening
were DR.. James Gregg, Principal of
Hampton Normal and Agricultural
Institute, and Mr.. Harris Hart. State
superintendent Of Public instruction.
DR.. Gregg gave figures which
showed that Virginia is behind both
North Carolina and Kentucky in the
development of Negro high schools:
North Carolina, 76 high schools, 10
carrying four years. Kentucky. SO
high schools, % carrying four years
Virginia, 33 high schools, z carrying
four years. DR.. Gregg gave two
general reasons why Negro high
schools should be more rapidly de-
veloped in Virginia. First. the Ne
gro boys and girls have tho thirst
and the ambition for this higher
training; second, certain professions
and offices require this fuller train
ing.

THE PROGRAM OF STUDIES.
At the last session on Friday morn
ing at 1000 o'clock. Mr.. Combs. AS
sistant State Supervisor Of Secondary
Education spoke on the program Of
studies. This, he said, is the weak
est part OF the school system. To a
remark that had been previously
made by one of the speakers that
the program of studies was the very
heart OF the high school, Mr.. Combs
remarked that il this was true. then
the high school system in Virginia
Is suffering with a bad case OF weak
heart.
Mr.. Combs spoke Of the changes of
recent dates in the purposes and aims
OF the curriculum of high schools
and the necessity OF every teacher
knowing the trend Of educational
thought OF today-the differentiated,
currtcula in which all types Of pupils
will be allowed to do what they can
to get what they really need either
for practical life Immediately in the
community in which they live, or as
preparation for college entrance
Each curriculum, Mr.. Combs stated,
should be built around what he
called a major" with other allied
subjects. In every course the sub
ject Of English is considered as a
constant" that is, it must occur and
run throughout all the courses.
This subject of curriculum making
needs to be studied carefully by every
principal, for as Mr.. Combs stated.
many principals in Virginia are ig-
norant of even the technical terms
used by educators in speaking of the
subject.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.
The subject Of Vocational Educa-
ton was discussed by Mr.. r. v.
Long, State Supervisor of Trades and
Industrial Education. Vocational
Education as it is generally under
stood is not intended for all the pu-
pills of the high schools, but only for
those who are going to make practi-
cal use of the training secured. Mr..
Long attacked the too theoretical
nature of much of the work now
being done. He also highly advo-
Gated short intensive part-time cours-
es during the day for farmers in the
less busy season, and the part-time
and evening schools for other trades
and vocational work
Physical and Health Education"
was discussed by Mr.. G. C. Throner,
State Supervisor Of Physical Educa-
ton. The State requires at least
three periods per week of thirty min
utes each as the minimum Of phys
zeal training in all high schools.
Much interest was manifested by the
body in the subject of athletics.
The meeting closed after voting it's
appreciation to Mr.. Gresham, Mr..
Ellis, and others who made the meet
ing possible and so exceedingly in
structive. A committee was ap-
pointed to perfect plans for the per.
manent organization of a meeting of
principals Of the Negro Secondary
Schools.

He Needs Credit.

REsT ASSURED if the American farmer is
Ii not prosperous there are a great many other
folks in the same condition for so much depends d.
rectly and indirectly upon agriculture that the de
pendent interests are like n card house.
When the main card is molested the whole row
tumbles.
Labor. merchandising, transportation are the
three principal interests that lean heavily on agri-
culture, They have all felt the unfortunate situa.
ton of farming.
While the farmer has a product that is al,
ways in demand he has fallen upon a time
when his costs Of production have exceeded or
Just about balanced his receipts in the market. In
his discoura cement, he has exhausted his surplus
capital.
Now that the farmers costs and receipts have
come nearer to a margin in his favor, he is without
capital to go ahead. He needs credit and has no
way to get it owing to the exhaustion of the past
several years.
The farmer does not need charity. He would
not likely accept it. He does not need a series of
laws, as proposed by ~agitators and political dema.
gogues. All he needs in the world is a law that
will give him the necessary credit on what he
has and can produce but which will not at present
be accepted Mt the banks as a proper asset.
If such an act can be drawn, passed and put in
force, not only the farmer, but the other interests
upon his activities will go ahead and
prosper.

Secretary Fall.

THE report that Albert Bacon Fail
purposes to resign his portfolio as
Secretary OF the Interior next March
will be received with sense of impend-
ing loss by all who have followed his
record Of achievements in Office

Secretary Fail Is peculiarly SUITED

What You Put In.

7 V Of your work will come from what you put
" into it rather than from what you get out of 1t.
In the first place, find work that is agreeable
to you and work that you can do. This may be
difficult, but while you are searching for the ideal
job, accept the next best thing that offers and
in it make yourself worthy of the job you hope
to secure in the future. .
And into that job put your best efforts, your
best intelligence, and your greatest industry. 1T
matters not what it may be, If it is a human eff
fort to accomplish something worthy. 1t is
worth while and not to be despised. The charac-
ter Of work may not excite much love for it, but if
it is done we'll it will arouse your respect, because
all work is honorable and entitled to that much
sentiment.
The pay you receive is not all there is to it. 1t
may be insufficient for the efforts expended, that,
however, is but temporary. 1t fits you, and demon
strates to others your ability and preparation for
the work you really desire to do. That work will
come to you just as surely as you show yourself
competent and worthy.
The world is waiting for the competent and faith
full worker. The honest worker. The worker who
gives his attention to the work in hand rather than
to the clock that records the quitting hour.
There is a surplus of loafers and mediocre work
ers and a dearth of faithful and honest ones on
every job. The latter rise to the top and adj
vance to the better jobs and the better pay, while
the former fall out or remain stationary.
Whatever of brains and industry you put into
your Job is an investment certain to pay dividends
in betterment of employment and pay with the
passing of time.
It is what you put into your work not what you
get out of it that tells the story.

expressed by Mr.. NJ. W. Kriegh, a noted authority
upon. fiscal matters.
With the state, county and municipal author
tiles bent upon raising the largest amount of funds
with the least complaint it is only natural that
they should choose those Industries whose influ.
ence they feel the least, as the butt of their activ-
tiles. Thus, it happens that an agricultural COM
munity, in which mining is found to some degree,
will spend money beyond a sensible, sound llmit,
all because the portion of the mining industry with,
in its boundaries must stand for it" Were these
same rates and methods of taxation to be levied
upon the industries of greater voting influence
in these political subdivisions Of the government,
those seeking to plaster the additional tax levies
would soon find their political heads lying on the
platter of defeat.
Estate and local taxes on mining corporations
were boosted from sos millions in 1918 to S6.6 mil
lions in 1920. Manufacturing corporations were
taxed locally 312 millions in 1918 and 439 millions
in 1920. Transportation companies paid locally
81 millions in 1918 and $50 millions in 1920. Finan-
cial and banking corporations we're taxed locally
1877 millions in 1918 and 227 millions In 1920.
"The mining and transportation industries,
among others of lesser importance, have borne the
heaviest proportionate increases in state and local
taxes during the period of depression following the
war with manufacturing a close third and banking
or finance fourth.
The reduction in federal taxes since the war has
been more than offset by the increase in state
and local taxes.
If the debt mourning, tax lcvying, money spend
ing agencies of state and local governments con-
tinue to issue tax exempt bonds, exact discrimin-
atory tax levies and dissipate public funds without
restraint and without regard for the welfare of
industry or class Disseminated against, an eco
'nomic and political upheaval is certain TO result.
The hazard is great and the nation should be
aroused before it is too late to apply a remedy.
The tendency to pile up public debt by issuing
tax free bonds to finance every sort of public en-.
terprise, simply because an easy market is found
for this class of securities, is fundamentally wrong.

Substituting Motor Trucks.

TT is CLAIMED that motor trucks and stages
L have never in any manner been subsidized,
while railroads and canals have received much pub
Lie aid.
What greater subsidy could they have as common
carriers than for the taxpayers and the public to
build the paved streets and surfaced highways7
The paved streets and highways are paid for by
bond issues, taxation, assessment Of abutting prop
erty and taxes ON gasoline used by private motor
cars and trucks.
The maintenance Of paved streets and highways
Is paid for by taxation on all the property of the
people, and when they wear out new bond issues
may be necessary.
Hundreds of millions Of dollars arc spent in
bonds and taxation to build highways for common
carrier motor vehicles to operate on In competi,
ton with railroads, electric lines and steamboat
lines, that pay hundreds of times as much taxes as
the stages and trucks.
If that is not subsidization enough, consider the
money spent annually on subsidization by upkeer
OF these highways and bridges and paved streets,
again paid largely by the rail carriers.
Admitting that motor stages and trucks do pay
come taxes, the amount they pay is infinitesmal
compared to the taxes that other common carriers
and the public pay to build and maintain the pub.
lie highways which trucking corporations use for
private gain.
