SCHOOL TRANSFERS
A very encouraging announcement was made today that
should have special interest to local people as well as to the popu-
lation generally throughout the county. This announcement had
to do with the provision in the Rural Aid Bill passed by the last
legislature enabling the County School Boards to provide trans-
portation for students to nearby high schools. The Caldwell high
school has been receiving a large number of students from other
districts in the county, superintendent Harrison has the informa-
tion from the county superintendent's office that contracts for
transportation of Btudents from the common school districts are
bring let by the county school board and that as a result of this
program some fotty or fifty students more than ordinarily trans-
ferred into the local district for high school purposes will be
brought in during the coming session. The State will pay the
local district tuition on all such students brought in for high
school purposes.
It is expected that this program will be extended for 19S4-35
ao as to bring practically all of the students from the common
school districts to the Caldwell high school or to the Somervilie
high school for their high school instruction.
THE CONSUMER ALWAYS PAYS
í'X
Our law-making bodies are becoming past masters in figur-
ing out ways and means to dodge responsibility for increasing
taxes which the public has to pay.
A legislative measure will be broadcast to the public as a
tax reduction measure for the people, but pull aside the curtain
and see what the real truth generally is.
The net result of most tax reduction measures is a shifting
of taxes from one class of voters to another, hiding taxes under
a new name, or the collection of more taxes through splitting up
the levies in various smaller assesments.
The reason for constantly climbing net tax collections is
obvious—thousands of new laws, a great percentage of which
demand increased public payrolls and expenditures.
As an example of tax camouflaging, take the Federal 3 per
cent tax on electricity which was formerly added to the consum-
er's electric bill. This was in line with special taxation such as
the gasoline tax, the tax on bank checks, the Federal tax on auto-
mobiles, etc. Congress, to make some kind of a tax reduction
showing for electric consumers, has shifted the 3 per cent tax
from the user to the company. In other words, the 3 per cent
must come out of the earnings of the investor.
This hides the tax from the general public, although it will
still continue to pay the tax in one of three ways, namely: It
must be deducted from the earnings of the millions of investors
in the power industry, thereby reducing their previous income;
or it will be reflected in increased rates to cover this tax; or it
will prevent a reduction of rates which might otherwise have
been secured.
Switching this tax from the electric user to the security
holder is on a par with switching the gasoline tax from the buyer
of gasoline to the oil company.
The politicians know that the electric company cannot add
the 8 per cent tax to its bills unless it goes through the long pro-
cess of securing a rate increase from each of the regulatory com
missions in the various states. They also know that no such re-
gulatory price restrictions apply to other sales taxes, such as on
gasoline, where companies affected can add the tax immediately
to the consumer's bill.
This political process of dodging responsibility for tax in
tmsni ia all part of the breaking down process that is trying to
daaeradit the investor and inflame the public against the individ
in] who has earned and saved, and is trying to make a legitimate
return on his capital-—the stored-up labor of years of hard work.
How much longer the people can be fooled with these tricks
to be seen, but the longer their eyes remained closed, the
will be the bill they have to finally pay. Never forget
taxpayers and the consumer ultimately foot every bill
dollar that our lawmakers add to the cost of govern-
1932-33 Cotton
a* |T
Consumption Up
2,720,000 Bales
New York.—World consumption of
American cotton in the season ended
July 31 totaled 14, 132,000 bales,
largest consumption since 1928-29,
when spinners used 15,226,000 bales,
the New York Cotton Exchange ser-
vice estimates. Last season world con-
sumption of American lint amounted
to 12,600,000 bales, two seasons ago
11,113,000 and three seasons ago 18,-
021,000.
World carryover of American cotton
at the end of the 1932-33 season is
estimated at about 11,976,000 in a
preliminary estimate of the exchange
service, which compares with 13,228,-
000 a year ago. If final figures bear
out this estimate, thin will be the first
reduction in carryover in four years,
the supply having increased fruin 4,-
617,000 bales on July 31, 1929, to the
record figure at the end of the 1931-
32 season.
Large increases in consumption of
American cotton, it is Atated, was due
to several factors: In the United
States consumption during the last
three months has beer, of record-
breaking proportions an dabroad con-
sumption has been slightly greater
due to general business activity in-
crease, but relatively low prices of
American staple have been the prime
factor, along with relatively small
supplies of foreign growths.
Outline of Work Done By The
Vocational Agriculture Teacher
According to an announcement
made recently by superintendent Fes-
tus H. Harrison of the local schools,
the School Board at a recent meeting
authorised the substitution of a pro-
gram of vocational agriculture in lieu
reach the entire limits of the school
distriet. We were fortunate in hav-
ing at our disposal the services of
two major institutions which have
specialised in agricultural education,
an despecially in the program of train
of other science courses previously ¡ ¡„jj teachers for vocational agricul-
offered and the employment of a;ture positions in secondary schools,
teacher for this work. This prog>am.the & M. College and the Sam
was made possible by a vacancy oc- Houston State Teachers College,
curing in the grammar school facul- Prom a number of men recommended
ty. Upon investigation it was found
that u man could be obtained for this
wor kat a salary outlay on the part
of the local district identical with that
which would have been paid to a
teacher to fill this grammar school
vacancy, inasmuch as the ntate and
federal governments wil ladvance the
additional salary expended for the vo-
cational agriculture instruction.
Teacher assignment.- were made so
as to absorb this vacancy with the
teaching force continued from last
year.
The regular vocational agriculture
for this work, Kelly McAdams of
Huntsville was employed. He is a
graduate of both of these institutions,
having received his bachelors degree
from Sam Houston and his masters
degree from A. & M. Although Mr.
McAdams was not known by the
superintendent or the board prior to
his being recommended for the place,
he was found to be the most accept-
able man considered."
In addition to Ihe agricultural
sciences that will bo offered in the
high school will be general science

ed last year; so chemistry will be of-
fered during the coming school ses-
sion.
bookkeeping, as well as the agricul-
tural sciences. In addition to this
work the teacher employed wilf teach
two classes in regular science pre-
viously offered.
"In searching for a man to fill this
position," Mr. Harrison stated, "it
was thought advisable to secure a
community man as well as a teacher,
as this man will he on the job twelve
months in the year, and his work will

high officials that our population had
deserted ths soil for the urban can-
ters and had Increased tha soup and
bread lines, thus creating a tragic
social problem, there was sent out an
urgent appeal that the schools pro-
vide this vocational offering to its
students and thus, as much as pos-
sible, to encourage our boys to remain
upon the soil, revealing to them the
outstanding attractions of farm life
over those of urban life.
With al) of the above in mind, local
school authorities found that not only
could this offering be made without
any additional outlay of local funds,
but that it could be made with an an-
nual saving to the local district of
$225.00. It was felt, therefore, that
wisdom dicated the offering of this
program, thus obtaining a full-time
community worker and teacher, and
offering a program to fill a long-felt
need inthe high school curriculum. If
this work proves to be as satisfactory
as anticipated, it is expected that an
additional offering will be made in
1934-36 of a course in practical car-
the
average needs of the small communi-
ty and rural home. This course would
include an elementary amount of shop
work.

It is felt on the part of the local
school authorities that an advance
step has been made in the offering of
a more practical curriculum to the
community. The girls had previously
been offered instruction in domestic
science, including cooking and cloth-
ing, and both the girls and boys had
been offered training in commercial
subjects, but the boys had been m;-
glested in tho vocational offering so
vitally urged by educational leaders
and by the State and Fedaral authori-
ties. In 1917 the Federal congress
enacted a law, known as the Smith-
Hughes Act, which provided for fed-
eral aid to• be matched by State aid
to be paid to secondary schools offer-
ing a program of vocational educa-
tion. to include domestic science, ag-
riculture, an dtrades. Many high
schools throughout the nation had
availed themselves of a part or all of
this offering. With the coming of
the depression and the realization on
the part of the president and other
