\ action which the Hherman Hchoot
Board h:ts "felt compelled to take in
'I #r< tcctlnjt- itself from the competition
n of seme of the larger cities of the State
Ih the emjrtoyrtieht of teachers. At a
^meeting of the Hoard Monday. It was
decided to ask the State Superintend-
ent for th< cancellation of the teach-
ing certificate of any teacher who
breaks a contract with the Board
without cattrje, and without permission
of the Bor.rd. This action was taken,
|| it was 'statfd. hecau«e of tbe.inoon-
|f> venicnce which was being occasioned,
the Board by the pracHce of
teachers, after iiavfng accepted
have benefitted. If ever an act of an
official redounded to the benefit of a
large number, as agninsf a lew, Gov-
ernor Hobby's act In the Galveston
matter has done so, and he has won
the commendation of the great mass
of Texas people by Ills stand.
The law proposed, and which Is now
before the special session of the Legis-
lature, provides that any person who
interferes with flock workers, or oth-
lum promised them ns the result of
the war.

school session Is opening, to accept k
more remunerative position offered by
some city able to outbid the salary of-

And yet Withal, this action, without
regard to'its justness or no, serves to
again call to inind the present situ-
ation iu the held of education with re-
gard to the number of teachers avail-
able. It direct* attention to the keen
competition which cities all over the
State must be experiencing In secur-
ing their quota of teachers for their
school seMlon now opening. The servi-
ces ^•♦enchers available are apparen-
tly going , to that city which is able
to offer the highest bhl, withont re-
gard to the injury which may he done
to the smaller cities:
This is a condition which calls for
thef serious thought of thinking men
and women. It at least angers well
for the teachers in'their demand for a
higher scale generally of salary. The
low salary paid the teaching profesa-
ion as compared with the salary and
remuneration in other ph)ft a«i* call-

Senator Harding, the Republican nom-
inee, was putting on another record.
And another record will go on as
soon as those who are responsible for
Senator Harding's candidacy get the
words set to the music with which j
they hope to soothe the savage breast.'
Before his -nomination, Senator
llnnllng made several speeches In
Texas, and In all of, these he stood
up tor the league of Nations.
But since he owes his nomination to
a Kniall coterie of Republicans rep-1
resenting big business interests, who
fixed his nomination in n hotel lob-
by, he bus gradually changed, and a
few days ago made the astounding
assertion that the "League of Nations
is a stupendous fraud."
On the very day of this utterance
the League Council, In session at
I'aris. prevented war between Finland
and Sweden and brought Poland and
Lithunla together for arbitration.
The fact of the mutter is, Senator
Harding Is getting "hot" up. Already
he has he< n driven from the security
of his front porch, where his milk find
older speeches, delivered to the few
Republicans who visited him, were
received In the same manner that the
ivords of a fan are received when he
roots for the home team. But ns he
gets out Into the broad siwces, filled
with people who are sick and tired of
war and the ronsequPtlfeeS thereof, he
Is driven to extremes in finding some-
thing to say, and his efforts are prov-
ing disappointing eve,n to. Uie.JiUllv
and file of the Republican jmrty. *
Tlie-'League of Nations Is rapidly
becoming the dominant issue In the
campaign, and the firm stand of (Jov.
Cox, whose sensible interpretation of
the measure Is most enlightening. Is
winning supporters for the league
wherever he goes, and forward look-
ing Democrats are pleased with their
standard bearer.
ture should be guided only by the
IHissibillty of the greatest good to the
greatest number, and they need not
fear but that the people of Texas will
uphold them In their actions.
As a matter of fuct, in The Demo-
crat's Judgment, every elty in Texas
has the right to the same protection it
is sought to give (ialveston and other
j>art towns of the Stnte. Any railroad
terminal, manufacturing center yr
great shipping jsiint iu Texns Is as
liable to suffer as Galveston has suf-
fered. The prosperity of any city, and
of any community depends on the un-
interrupted flow of business. Every
city serves outsiders. It takes the
farmer's crop and stores it or di*
tributes it. It receives food products
and clothing which are not locally
available and sends them out Into Its
trade territory and, therefore, flic
same principle Is involved as Is in the
port cities, the difference being merely
a matter of proportion, and the same
constitutional right to work should be
given the man of the Inland towns
and cities as Is given the is rt towns
and cities. ]f labor unions Insist on
striking, then the great general pub-
lic Is going to insist on protection for
those who desire to work.

The effect of exoem profit takes on business enter-
prise* and on the high coat of living ia ao evident as
to require little explanation. Wo have the word of
former Secretary jOIasi that this tux encourages
"wasteful expenditure, puts a premium on overcapi-
talization and a penalty on brains, energy and eater-
prise, discourages new ventures and confirms old
ventures in their monopolies." What further need
be slid in condemnation?
| It may be appropriate, however, to indicate the
fnet that us the commodity or raw material passes
■, or grower, or producer to the factor, and so on to the
nanufacturer, the jobber, the wholesaler and retailer, each process of dis-
tribution witnesses an addition to the cost at each stage of progress, of an
indeterminate amount more than sufficient in the estimate of each inte* *
mediary to cover his excess profits tax and that all of th§se increases are (
included in the price paid by the consumer for the finished product; , j
These added costs have no legitimate relation to original cost As
an example of one of these costs, the head of an important manufacturing'
enterprise has recently stated that his corporation paid in one year to
the federal government t xe8 in a sum more than double the nominal
i profits retained by the company, tnpre than five times the sum distributed
! in dividends to the investors whose capital it utilised, and nearly two-
| thirds the total amount distributed to the workers by way of wages, and ■
! this may be considered typical.
The'excess profits tax is an indirect tax of the most insidious kind.
The laborer, the clerk, those dependent on small incomes from invest-
ment, and all whose earnings are less than the exemption allowed under
[ the law, are not taxed under the law. Few of them realize that they
are taxed at all. This entire class, however, as well as others with larger
incomes, pays a heavy toll each day for the necessities of life and would,
; if it realized the fact, be among the strongest advocates of excess profits
tax repeal.
It follows naturally that to the extent excess profits are assessed, our
| export tax is penalized. The products of the manufacturer and of the
j farmer cannot so readily be sold abroad in competition with those of other '
j countries if their prices are inflated under operation of an excess profits '
• tax. Markets jftcured during the war are in danger of being lost to tlie [
American exporter through the effect of the excess profits taxes. .
