COMMUNICATED
Fairness to Teachers

Edltor Herald
In Saturday nights Herald a
member of the school board accus-
ed the board of unfairness to teach
ers when a plea for increased sal
aries was refused to those teachers
who had received NJ. A. degrees.
Speaking of fairness! Does the
school board consider it fair t.
make the young teacher who has
taught year or two lose her posi-
ton, because she marries? Is il
fair to put that young. modern, en-
ergetic girl out and let the olde,
married women continue to teach
many OF whom have been receiving
the maximum for years? Yes-even
promoting some of the latter to
more responsible positions! Does tbs
school board think that's fair?
l have nothing against the older
married women If they prefer to
teach on if it's necessary, but where
is the justice in putting out the
young married woman who starts
out with minimum salary? Is mol
the city paying more keeping the
older ones and letting the newly
married ones go?
If the school board feels they
should let the married women go to
make a place for the younger sing!.
teachers. that's fair enough. But
why discriminate.
Perhaps the board can explain
this very unjust rule TO the public
through the medium Of the Herald.

High rents are more Of . drag upon
the business community than taxes
One business man once told us that
when he started in business years
ago he paid $50 a month rent for
premises and now the same place ID
bringing $500 = month to its owner.
There are stores paying consider
ably more for space. The taxes OF
such enterprises amount to an In
significant amount compared with
the rent money. Yes. the business
men who own their buildings and
have done SO for many years have a
decided advantage in these days OF
high business rents.
To refer to instances too close at
home may be odious to many people.
and happily it is not necessary to
prove the point. This can be done by
going to New York. On q certain
street there more business firms
have failed than anywhere else on
earth, the story runs. All have fail
ed because of the extraordinary high
rents charged along the several
blocks. The taxes are negligible in
comparison.
We are still paying for the war.
and in divers ways: let no one over
look that. Tenements that were con-
structed at high prices during the
post war boom. and still being paid

ton plan and the money collected
from the rent payers, are certainly
confronted with a serious situation
in . period Of falling prices for
rooms. Their payments to the mort
gage holders have been fixed for a
period of years. only about half the
mortgages are paid. and there 10 less
money coming in-in some instances
not enough to meet the payments.
But that cannot be blamed upon
taxes. 1t simply is one of those risks
that cannot be avoided. During the
era of speculative building there
were great profits in sight: but there
was also the opportunity to lose If
conditions changed. No one could
tell when they would change. The
change arrived, however. and con-
tinues. The holders Of such property
feel the pinch; just al. In a risins
market, they simply coin money
while the renters furnish it.
Meanwhile, regardless of condi-
TONS taxes grind on like the mills
of the gods. To date. as always be-
fore, nothing remains as certain as
death and taxes.

TEACHING


whether married school teachers
should be allowed in the public
schools would be entirely absent If
the teaching market were not get
ting rather crowded. The state pro-
vides free Of cost the complete tech
mic needed for teaching the elemen-
tary grades: there remains nothing
for q young woman to do after be-
ing graduated from the state normal
school but get job. Yes. that's all:
the only trouble is that this free dis
pensary OF state normal education at
tracts more young people than there
are demands for teachers hereabouts.
In our opinion it could not be
otherwise under the circumstances.
Thus the school authorities here,
and in many other cities. have made
rules that married teachers are not
desired except In case OF need or
when such married teachers were
employed before the rule was put
into effect. This rule probably made
room for some unmarried teachers:
but proof that the market is still
overcrowded is found in complaints
that the rule should be even more
stringent. These critics would have
no married teachers at all employed
in the school system.
The situation is one that cannot be
solved by such rules. If the produc-
ton Of school teachers increases
faster than the production Of new
jobs, then there will be an overplus
of school teachers. The rule Of sup
ply and demand is memorable. the
only way to get around the situation
is to reduce the sizes OF classes and
thus employ more teachers; but
there are limits to even this plan.
In junior high school and senior
high school teaching the situation
seems to be just the reverse. else it
would not be necessary to send for
teachers from out of the state to fill
the positions, as some high schools in
the state are continually doing.
The state report for the last ten
years has just been made public. 1T
shows that 1000 additional teach
ers were utilized during the decade.
and that salaries have increased. 1t
cannot be claimed that this is a poor
record. The teaching profession is
perhaps no more overcrowded than
some others In which there il no
talk about barring married prac-
titioners. Indeed, it is sometimes
boosted that there are more women
in the professions than ever before.
and they marry while continuing in
many instances to practice their pro-
LESSONS. The only difference seems
to be in outlook: school teaching il
| considered by some as no higher
than municipal job-hunting. Our
opinion is that it is higher than this.
and that efficiency and experience
arc OF value in this important public
service. The schools do not exist
primarily to give jobs to those who
need them-desirable as this may be
but to teach children.

TAXES AND PROSPERITY

The suggestion has been made that
high local taxes cause trouble and
disaster to property owners and bust
hess men. There are empty rents
in the city, it is said; and somehow
taxes are coupled with this fact.
We do not think that taxes, high
Or low, have anything to do with
empty apartments. They exist in vir-
tually every city Things are back to
exactly the kind of normally Mr..
Harding talked about. There are
empty apartments because there are
more Of them than there are Gus
toners. which was the normal state
before the war. Additional housing
Is continually being provided as a
look around the city will indicate.
Rents have receded in many in
stances, but according to the tenants
they are still too high. Such a de-
kelopment cannot be charged to local
taxes.
In the first place local taxes arc
hot as high as in a majority of cities

THE UTILITY BATTLE
IN BAY STATE

In the endeavor to curb the
methods Of utility corporations.
Massachusetts, is attempting to set an
example for the remainder Of the
country. In no other state Is the
battle so clear-cut, SO fraught with
menace to the most cherished desires
OF the utilities. or so contrary to
their hoped-for rule Of valuation
upon which to base charges. Massa-
chusetts is attempting to settle now
what experts believe will not be
finally settled until the Supreme
Court of the United States yields a
covering decision Of greater ap-
plicability than any hitherto given.
Bills brought before the Bay State
Legislature would force gas. cleo
trio and water companies in the state
to agree to the Massachusetts policy
of basing rates in accordance with
the amount of money paid into the
companies by the Stockholders. in
stead of basing rates On the theory
Of reproduction costs.
Bills also would make 1t possible
for cities and towns in the state to
enter into direct competition in the
sale OF gas. electricity and water
without first being obliged to buy
out the existing companies. The bills
would also force the Public Utilities
Department of the state to notify
cities and towns of any new rate
schedules filed by public utility.
And this is not all. One bill filed
demands a sweeping Investigation
OF the state Department of Public
Utilities-just as il this rate regu-
lating body had played a hand OF
bridge with the utilities! According
to some observers in Massa C husetts,
this has been the case: and Massa-
chusetts, by the way. is not the only
state where such suspicious have
been aroused.
The main drive of all these bills.
of course, is against the so-called
power trust, as is indicated also by
the demands for an investigation of
the charges that attempts to influ-
ence legislative action had been
made, and that propaganda had
been carried on through the schools
and the institutions Of higher learn
ing. including Harvard.
The chief issue here presented IS
that between actual investment and
reproduction costs. The utilities
everywhere would like to see rates
based upon the latter rather than
the former. That would raise the
rates, If the utility regulation bodle.
| would permit rates to be based upon
such a premise. In one case that
came before the L. s. Supreme Cour,
that OF the indianapolis water
company-the reproduction cost
principle was upheld. but not suffi.
GENTLY emphatic. The O'Falion rail
road case now before the highest
court likewise includes a part
espousal OF this principle, tho
Missouri line being opposed to the
low valuation set by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Fate of the attacks in NassachI-
sctts will be watched with interest
