Nuggets of Gold. Speaking before the delegates to the National Grange meeting in Winston-Salem, L. J. Tabor, master of the national organization offered some gold nuggets of thought. Instead of commenting upon these nuggets individually, we leave them for the consideration of each reader of these columns; “ The return of the saloon in any form would be the nation's greatest backward step. Our duty is clear. We must oppose any repeal or change iu the eighteenth amend­ ment that does not make for true tem perance." “ A general moratorium on farm debes would be more daugerous than auy other proposal thus far made for the relief of agriculture.” Neither rugged individualism or a belief in supermen can restore prosperity, but the effort of every­ one, when we pull together, will save agriculture, and America. The National Grange at this session is met by a positive chal­ lenge to adopt a program that gives assurance to courage and hope to rural America.’’ “ Speedy aud definite actiou Dy the coming short session of congress 011 several definite needs is imper­ atively demanded.” The first step in any long-time policy for rural life must be founded on a sound program of land utili zation, and It is high time to give renewed thought to the problem of conservation ” •Distribution costs must be re­ duced so that the farmer may re ceive a larger share of what the consumer pays. The farmer must be given more rather than less con­ trol in baudliug the products of bis own toil.” “ The purpose of this act was a stepin the right direction, and when amended it must be by the friends, and not by the enemies of agricul ture.” “ The Grange will continue to ad- vocote t he export debenture or some epuivalent method as a complement to the protective tariff structure." “ The first step ts to broaden the base of taxation, coranel income, luxury and privilege to bear a lar­ ger share of the costs of society, and turn tax-dodgers into taxpay ers ” : “ The complete overhauling and reorganization of the functions of government \k a need of the hour, aud will make for public morale and added confidence, as well as money saving and improved serv ice. ” “ The veterans’ bureau must be radically' reorganized to shut out from recsiving compensation those who are on the federal payroll or or otherwise drawing fat salaries.” I® 1® (9 PRETTY g DOLLS GIV* £ EN AWAY.

Backin those days it was colder thau it is now, and large log fires were built be­ tween the rows of tents. .

The citizens of Pikeville, Wayne county, will not pay any town taxes this year, it was deejded at a recent meeting of the town council. Pike­ ville. owes no money and has money in the bank.

Publicity is being given to the Na­ tional Econolnv League and its at­ tempt to organize business men of the country in a drive in the comir g ing session of congress to curtaii by some $450,000,000 the benefits now being paid veterans of the World War. and other wars. “We wonder if the business men •>f this community have given thought to the amount of money that is brought into this community each month as a result of the sums paid to Warld War verterans,” W. 0. By- erly, Commander Post No. 174 of 1’he American Legion here said to­ day. "We will let the others for themselves, but for the World war, the total disability compensation for the entire nation amounts to $204,- 620,000 and disability allowance $104,277,000. Thedifferenceis that the larger figure is for disability con- nested directly with the veterans’ war service, and the smaller sum is not. The total for these two items its is $308,897,000 per year, which a- mount is what is received by veter­ ans and spent by them for the neces­ sities of life, etc. “The population of the United States is 122,775,046, according to the last census. Therefore, for every man, woman and child in America, the above sum of $30S 897,000 means if properly divided down, about 20 cents per capita. Now, this is NOT what it costs them—far from it. It is what they receive indirectly through these veterans. The cost comes out of the Federal taxes, large Iy from the Federal Income tax paid by 42,000 persons who have annual NET incomes of more than $6,000,- 000 000 per year. In 1928, their net income, or profits, totalled $6,309,- 000,000. "In a city of 10,000 this 20 cents per month per capita, means, on an average that the world war disabled veterans of that community received from the government $2,000 per month, or a total of $24,000 for the year. In a city of 5.000 it would be total of $1,000 per month. "As a matter of coal fact, the a- mount is much larger, because such disabled veterans naturally raside in toe towns and cities. A careful sur­ vey made recently of a typical A- merican city of about 20,000 popula tion (Inglewood, Calif.) per month. If that ratio would hold good throughout all towns and cities, then the one of the 10,000 population would get $5,000 per year. "Does this money mean anything to the merchants, to the doctors, the dentists — yes, and the bankers, sihoo! teachers, tax payers and la borers? Of course it does, because they would miss that money each year It eo'uld easily be the differ­ ence between profit and bankruptcy for many firms. “Then there is another side to the story. Many of these veterans have no other means of support than the small sums they receive from the government. Take this support a- way from these disabled veterans and what is going to happen? "They are almost certain to be­ come wards of the city and county. Remember, the disabled veterans are paid out of Federal taxes, and not from local and state taxes. Their pay comes out of the huge profits of the Federal income tax payers. But if they become burdens on their local committies. then they effect theaver- arge American home owner and busi ness man. "Besides, they fought for the Federal government and it is a feder­ al obligation, cot a state or local lia­ bility. Our State Commander Bryce P Beard stated in his Armistice Day address in Raleigh that this is a Federal obligation and will remain •so. That’s the tvay this Post sees it also, and it looks to us very much like that group of larger income tax payers are attempting to transfer ! this federal obligation from the 1 larger income tax paying group many • of whom were profiteers during the ! war to the baeksof the local citizens 1 will be deceived by the midleading ! propaganfie of the so-called "econo- '• my” league ” Thinks General As­ sembly Should Kill SomeLaws. Frequently .one hears tbe opinion expressed that the next legislature could perform a righteous .act by killing tnanv of the present laws on tbe statute books. The need for such action is cited in this story published recently in the Monroe Enquirer: “ A colored man, who lives about two miles east of town, one m orn­ ing last week, took his trusty polk- stalk shotgun troui its rack over the door and shot a rabbit that had been eating cabbage, turnips and other garden truck in his garden. Mr. Rabbit was prepared for the table and served up as a pie at the noon­ day meal, " AU well and good unlil Union county’s game warden heard about the colored man sbootin’ game out of season. The colored man was duly arrested, brought before a magistrate and fined $5 .0 0 for the crime— $2 c o costs and #2.00 for tlie magistrate who tried the case^— 00 in all for shooting a io-cent rabbit in the cabbage patch. “ But the colored man, who is an industrious farmer, and who never dreamed that shootin’ a little old mollyeoltontail and eatin’ it would cause such a furore, has no money to pay his fine, and is likely to go to jail for 3 0 days—all for shootin’ a measley little old 10 cent rabbit. “ Should the poor colored man be required—according . to law —to spend 30 days in jail his iacarcerat ion will cost the county around $12 0 0— all on account of killing and eating a 10 cent rabbit. ' ‘ We paid several thousand dol­ lars to our legislators to go do vn to Raleigh and place a damfool law 011 the statute books to plague a poor nigger for shooting a io-cent rabbit which was detroyiug his vegetable garden.” . Says Hancock Will Be Consistent, Voting Wet. Youreditoral criticising the posi­ tion of Mr. Hancock on the prohibi­ tion question isn’t altogether fair. He was nominated on a wet plat- torrn. , He ran on a wet platform , and he was elected on a wet plat­ form, and now in lining up with the wets he is simply being consist­ ent. And that’ by the way, is a lot more than can be said of some other people—rnyseif included. For many years I have claimed to be an ardent “ dry.” N otw ith­ standing that fact, I voted the “straight” ticket, from Roosevelt and Reynolds on down. Afier having done that, if I still contend that I am for prohibition, I am either a fool, a liar, or a hypo­ crite. By their votes the people have de­ manded liquor. N ow letthem have it But let’s cut out the hypocrit­ ical cadt about being “ dry” after having just voted “w et.” —H. D. LINDSAY.— Winston Journal. Died Of a Broken Heart. United States Senator Wesley Jones, Rrpnblican. of Washington, who had served continuously for 33 years in.the Senateand House from: the State of W ashingtton and was; defeated in the recent election by Homer T. Bone, Tacoma Democrat, died at Seattle, Saturday, literally of a broken heart He was 69 years -old and had conductea a vigorous cam­ paign for re-election and when the voters of his states repudiateehim it was more than he could bear and the day after the election entered a Seattle hospital and after 10 days he passed out. His term would have expired March 4, next. WdnT BeToldOfficially There is no provision for official notification of persons who are elect­ ed to office. Presidential candidates who are usually officially notified of nomination even when they are on hand ,at the convention and help name themselves. But if the candi­ date chosen doesn’t learn of his choosing from the newspapers, or if his friends don’t tell him, that is his lookout. Under the system the re­ sult is determined by the choosing of 531 electors on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. But there is no law to compel the elector to vote for the candidate he was designated to support. So the election doesn’t really take place un­ til the first Wednesday in January, when the electors of the several states meet at the State capitals and formally cast their votes. The votes are forwarded to the secretary of tbe senate of the United States and on the second Wednesday in Feb­ ruary Congress meets in joint ses­ sion to canvass the electoral votes and declare the result of the election. So the election is not officially pro­ claimed until near the date of the inauguration. And even then the presiding officer, annonncing the re­ sult, doesn’t say postively that some­ body has been elected. The formal announcement, as recalled, is that John Smith and Bill Jones “ appear to have been elected.” They have re­ ceived the majority of the votes but the announcement doesn’t make posi­ tive commitment. It may be said that the casting and and counting of the electoral votes and the Official announcement of the vote is puroly formal. So it is, gen­ erally speaking. But notwithstand­ ing these events are given little heed because the election is supposed to haye been settled by the November balloting, if some of the electors were to default, fail to attend, or vote for others, and the returns re­ ceived by the secretary of the senate didn’t show a majority for some­ body, there would be no election. The house of Congress would have to do to the electing and regardless of how the vote was cast in November the members elected two years ago would decide. Each State would have one vote and that vote would be decided by the majority of the congressional delegation Isn’t it surprising that we haven’t, disposed of this antiquated machinery long a- goand brought the proceedings up to date in a way that would make sure that there would be no doubt a- bout choosing the man for whom the majority, of the people voted? The jjiund-about method was all right for the purpose for which it was estab­ lished, but since modern methods have made the electoral college of none effect for generations, why should the thing be continued iu the face of possible danger?. When Mr Cleveland was elected the first time Democrats generally, remembering what happened to them in ’76, were uneasy lest there be a lip between the cup and the lip. When the eleetrol votes were can­ vassed and the result announced a Democrat who was still a bit disturb­ ed about the thing going all the way vithout mishap approached Senator E’dmunds, of Vermont, and asked hi m if there was any provision for notifying the winning candidates. 0 « r e f lsciinn Senak r Edmunds ’an­ swered 1 .hat there was no such provis- sion; that candidates were left Jo as certain the facts for themselves; and he added that never in the history of the country had a successful candi­ date failed to be on hand for the in­ auguration. With that record Dem­ ocrats may feel assured that Roose­ velt and Garner will hear the news and be on hand at the proper hour March 4 —Statesville Daily. Can’t Keep Up. J. H.

It is mighty hard to pay five or six dollars apiece for votes and then not get what you paid for. A fellow who will sell his vote will bear watching but you can’t watch him when he casts his vote.

Sometimes editors get cussed out by their readers and may deserve it A reader writing to the Winston- Salem Journal takes the hair and hide completely off EditorSantford Martin. He accuses Martin of vot­ ing to put in a wet crowd and claiming that the wets would en­ force prohibition. The Journal seems to have played dry and voted wet. Thousands of others must have done the same thing. The new county officers were sworn in Monday and have assura ed their various duties. These gentlemen are hopest, upright citi­ zens and will fill their offices with honor to themselves and the voters who elevated them to the positions they are now holding. The good people of the county should give them their hearty CO operation. The outgoing gentlemen who serv­ ed for the past two years, made many friends who wish them well in whatever tasks they mav under take. The new officers are not bosses but servents of the people, and they are paid to assist the pub lie in every way possible. They have assumed grave responsibilities, and need your aid and sympathy in sailing the county craft and keeping the old boat off the rocks. P. R. Lapish Dies. Mr. P. R.

Mr. Lapish was a member of Jericho Christian church, and had many friends who were saddened by the news of his death. War Debt Paternity. Mr. Roosevelt whose name is men­ tioned by Aristocrat with becoming I reverence need hardly be tn such a hurry to deny the paternity of the foreign debt problem. These debts were chiefly made while the Demo­ crats had comtrol of the government and It will be pretty hard for the in­ clining President to disavow all rt- sponsibility for the whole deplorable m es\ The party which he now heads is unquestionably more ac­ countable for the part our country took in the late war and for the events that brought us into this for­ eign imbroglio than any other party or sect. While the war propoganda went forward with a bang Mr. Roose­ velt was assistant secretary of the navy and so fa- as is known here did not throw weight of influence against foreign entanglements. Of course Mr. Rooseveltoughtnot to be blamed to much for what took place between 1916 and 1920 for he w is scarcely more then than a babe in the political woods but it is the irony of fate that he should inherit Mr. Wilson’s kingdom and the 13 points and the league of nations at d the international debts. He will find it necessary to graiple with the for­ eign debt problem growing out of a cruel and needless war which he had something to do with. No wave of the hand nor flourish of magic wand can brush aside the distressing prob­ lem. The war days were bond-issuing and bond-3elling davs when one was not allowed to express an opinion without danger of punishment, days of big loans to the allies and plenty of easy money. The people thought prosperity had dropped out of heav­ en; they did not know that it was pumped up from below. Mr, WiI- son ,was thought to be the daddy of war prosperity and so :n a sense he was.

THE SOUTHERN PUBLIC UTILITIES COMPANY- I N order that our customers may benefit immediately from the re­ cent reduction in rates for electricity, our accounting department, on biils to be sent out December I, will fItjure each customer's bill under that sched­ ule which it appears will be to the best advantage of that customer. Not only do our new rates mean a very material saving for a large pro­ portion of our customers, but the new rates, with electricity at 3% cents per KW hour for the first 150 KW hours and 3 cents per KW hour for all con­ sumption above that, mean that our customers in general may enjoy the fullest measure of comfort and con­ venience that may be derived from electric service at an, insignificant cost. Residential customers whose con­ sumption is less than 28 KW hours per month (and who do not contem­ plate increasing their consumption) will find it to their advantage to take service under schedule I-B1 which is as follows: $ 1.00 for the first 13 KW hours or less used per month; 7 cents per KW hour for all consumption In excess of 13 KWH used per month. However, with electricity at 3% cents per KW hour up to 150 KW hours and at 3 cents for all consump­ tion above that figure, very few cus­ tomers, we believe, will ,deny them­ selves the greater convenience ,and comfort which they can have so cheaply and few will elect schedule l-B. flonfh/y B/// /n 00/^ — T h e a c c o m p a n y in g g r a p h sh o w s th e c o m p a riso n S s tw e z n the. o ld S o u th ­ e r n P u b lic U tilitie s lig h tin g sc h e d u le , th e a v e ra g e r a te in th e 177 la r g e s t c itie s in A m e r ic a a s w o rk e d o u t b y th e N o r th C a ro lin a C o rp o r a tio n C o m ­ m iss io n , a n d th e n e w r e s id e n tia l s e r v ic e sc h e d u le o f th e u tilitie s c o m ­ p a n y .

Ifyou are constipated, bilious, have indigestion, dyspepsia, soui* stomach, the new tonic tablet, COLOJfEX, con­tains pepsin, yeast, bile salts, pan- creatin, peppermint and vegetable tonics—the very same agents Nature manufactures in your body to elimi­nate poisons, aict digestion, and cause natural bowel movements. It’s un­natural to drench the system with artificial enemas or powerful drugs. Take a few pleasant COLOXBX tab­lets and purify your system Nature’s way. This valuable formula would be very expensive compounded on physician’s prescription, but you can get a sani-taped package containing 28 lemon-colored tablets for only 60 cents at any drug store. Ninety per cent of human ailments come from clogged colon, so if you are not feel­ing well trv 'COIiOJfEX today on guaranteed satisfaction or money back basis For Nerve Exhaustion, Loss of FIesIi and Weakened Vitality, Irogen Is Ideal Tonic Remedy N orth Carolina Man Tells Why He Thinks It Is “The Best Medicine in the World.”— Great Prescription Quickly Re­ vitalizes the Blood and Restores Vigorous Health. Tlie number of victims of nervous exhaustion and general breakdown is steadily increasing in the United States, according to tlie statistics of health experts. Xt appears, from their reports, that nature has failed to provide for the abnormal strain of modern business and social life, and it is not .surprising that the nerve cells give away. When the nerves are deranged ’the digestive organs are impaired, food ceases to yield the prope: nourishment, the blood becomes impoverished, insomnia appears, and the usual result is a general nervous breakdown.Men and women who get in this condition, or who feel it approach­ ing, need a powerful but safe res­torative tonic, which ,will build up and strengthen the entire system and, at the same time, act directly upon the digestive and assimilat­ing organs. HAS PHENOMENAL SUCCESS IROGEN’S success has been phe­ nomenal. Although the first pack­ age was . put on the market less than a. year ago, the sales in this vicinity have already run into thou­ sands of bottles, and letters are pouring in unsolicited from people In every walk of life, telling of the wonderful^ relief it has afforded from suffering and general physi­ cal weakness. One of these, which is typical, comes from A. D. Ballard, of Bilt- more, N. C., near Asheville, the father of six children. Mr. Ballard writes that he noticed a Iallin- otf in weight, accompanied by contin­uous backache, with touches of rheumatism and weak kidneys. “After taking only one bottle of IROGEN, I found that I had gained five pounds,” he writes enthusias­ tically. “All the pains in my back have gone, I feel strong and fit for a day’s work every morning, I sleep well and am always hungry at meal times. I believe it is the best med­icine in the world.” , NOT A PATENT MEDICINE IBOGEN is not a patent medicine'. It contains Food Iron, Nutritious Malt, Valuable digestives and other famed tonic aids of recognized medicinal value. V.’hr.f this powerful reconstruct­ive medicine has done for count’ecs thousands of people everywhere, scores of whom are .residents of this vicinity, it is fair to assume it will do for you.IF.OGEN may be obtained in ,either liquid or concentrated tablet form.

I was talking with some fellows f om the rural districts and one said it will soon be time for Beasley to go to the legislature and I want him to enact some sure enongh laws. W epeopte in the country are durn- ed tired of having to buy licenses to hunt onr own rabbits and possums. If a man has 10 boys if I understand it right, he would have to buy 10 licenses before they could go rabbit hunting.—T. B. Lauey, Monroe Journal. Corner Turned At Lenoir.

No Wander New York Went Democratic. There is no surprise or wander that New York City went so heav­ ily Democratic in the recent elec­ tion when one sees the high baud ed mariner in which Tammany Hall conducted elections. Satuiday the federal government sifting election fraud charges call­ ed on the clerk of the board of e- lectious for the production of vot­ ing machines from several New York. City districts. One of the districts was the one in which W alter S. Mack, Jr., ran for the state senate on the Repub­ lican tieket, and after a conference with federal prosecutors Mack is­ sued a statement. He said much of the evidence on which the gov­ ernment is now working was the' result of his own investigation and of affidavits which he had subm itt­ ed. Information contained in the af­ fidavits showed a picture of "al most Incredible crrruption and dis­ honesty.” Mack said, quoting one man as saying he saw 14 men en ter a polliug place "throw out the watchers, after which each man went into the booth, started to vote and continued voting for about 10 m inutes.” Mack said an inspector in one district reported 6 0 0 votes cast in the machine and only 170 signatur es in the registration book. S. Howard Cohen, another Tam- manvite and president of the New York City board of election has been sentenced to 3 0 days in the federal house of detention for re fusing to produce records of the general election for review by a fed e r a I • grand jury. Evidently there is as much rottenness in the elections in New York as there is in North Carolina and other Demo­ cratic states. Tbinks Saloon No Worse Than Liquor. Rocky M ount,—Dr. A. J. Barton Baptist minister of W ilmington and nationally known dry leader, said today he was quoted not much coucerned whether the saloon comes back “ if the liquor traffic comes back” as he would "prefer the sal­ oon to having the government en­ gaged in the Iiquoij traffic.” His statement was made before the North Carolina conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, shortly before the conference began consideration of the report ot its committee on temperance and social service. It is one of the Alm ighty’s rarest blesssings that 9 0 percent of the henpecked men never find it out. PRETTY fe DOLLS GI V- EN AWAY.

Stf Cost $1,000,000 Week To Run The State. Poiuting out that the cost of gov­ ernment in North Carolina is now slightly more than $1,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 a week or $5 3,3 0 0 ,0 0 0 for all purpos­ es for the fiscal year ending June 3 0. 1 9 3 2, an editorial in the Novem­ ber issue of The Carolina-Virginia Retailer, official organ of the North Corolina Merchants Association, cries out “ when will this thing stop?” An editoral in the same issue re­ fers to the agitation in some quar­ ters for a 2 per cent gross sales tax in order to raise $10,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 more for State purposes as “ government­ al confiscation ” These two editorials, written by Willard L- Dowell, editor of the publication and secretary of the North Carolina Merchanta Assoc­ iation, are regarded as the opening guns of the Associations’ campaign for a reduction in the cost of the State government and against the imposition of any new'taxes, espec­ ially of a general sales tax. It has been indicated for some time that the mei chants of the State would not only oppose any form of a sales tax, as they did in the 1331 General Assembly, bnt that they also would try to get a reduction in present taxes by favoring a cut in the cost of the State government. The editorial pointing out that the cost of government in North Carolina is now about $1,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 a week, says: “ Thirty years ago the total cost of operating the government of the State of North Carolina was $1,- 8 6 3 .8 4 9 , while for the fiscal year ending June 3 0, 1932, this figure had increased to .5 3,3 0 0,0 0 0. In other words, for every day in the year, including Sundays and holi days, the State government spends $146,428 57 or a total of $1,0 2 5 ,0 0 0 every week. “ Thirty years ago tne total State debt was $6 ,5 2 7 ,0 0 0 and this year it is $ 1 8 9 4 3 7 ,3 4 2 , which represents a per capita debt of approximately $60 for every man, woman and child in the state. “ Wlieu will this thing stop? " It will not stop uotil the people of North Carolina unmistakably im­ press upon their legislators aud those having charge of State affairs that the limit has been reached— yea, far exceeded—and that they will not'stand for any additional taxes. “It will stop when the people de­ mand the elimination of every non- essential service of the government and wnen the people themselves are willing to give up ‘government de luxe’ with all of its atteudant frills and fancies ” In the editorial dealing with the proposed 2 per cent gross sales tax entitled “ Governmental Confisca­ tion,” Mr. Dowell says: “ Practically every man elected to the next Legislature is committed to the removal of the 15 cent ad valorem tax for the support of the six months school term. If this tax is removed, the State will have to raise #4 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 of additional re­ venue to replace it. "Practically every man elected to the next Legislature is commit­ ted to the principle of balancing the budget by legislative enactment, and since the State is now running an annual deficit of approximately $6,0 0 0,0 0 0, additional revenue to that amount must be provided. “ Ten million dollars of new monev. W here will.it come from? “ Many men are saying the only way to meet this fiscal emergency is to levy a gross sales tax of 1 per cent or 2 per cent upon everything that retail merchauts sell. Thesej advocates of this species of taxa- j tion do not seem to realize that what people want aud must have is ' How The Democrats Carried Randolph. William Cicero Hammer, the big Democratic boss of Randolph coun­ ty has been dead more than two years but his spirit goes marching no aud his mantle has evidently failed on the shoulders of Ttemo cratic adepts in holding the elec tions in Randolph county. ■ The Randolph Tribune says that in the November election the De­ mocrats voted 91 absentee votes in the South W ard at Asheboro. while the Republicans presented 11 ab- sentae ballots only one of which was allowed to be voted. About'None-half of the 91 votes cast by the Democrats were chaneged by the Republicans because, some of them were non-residents, some of them were not on the registration books, some of the certificates were impro­ perly filled out, while some of the ballots were not signed on the back, and various other causes, but these challenges amounted to nothing be cause the ballots were very readily put into the box. • The 11 absentee ballots presented by the Republi­ cans were all challenged, and all except one was kept out of the box. Oue of the grossest irregularities was the voting of Mrs. M. E. Chandler who was voted an absen­ tee ticket in the South W ard, but during the day went to the polls in Ramseur where she has been living for the past three years and voted in person. Mrs. Chandler voted the Republican ticket in Ramsuer but w;as voted a Democratic ticket In the South Ward. The Tribune publishes a list of names of the 91 absentee voters in the Asheboto South W ard and it should be an easy matter for offi cials if they-have any respect for decency in elections to check up this list and find oat who isrespon- sible for this alleged illegal voting. Certainly some one is responsible for voting the name of the Repu­ blican Ramseur woman a Demo­ cratic ballot in Asheboro when the woman in question voted in person at Ratnsuer.—Union Republican. Weather Has Helped Autumn rains have come to the rescue of the stretch of Highway 90 between Fork and Mocksville, it appears, the crushed stone there has became packed bv traffic months earlier than was iridicted by mid­ summer conditions The stale highway commission last week an­ nounced this section was "closed t mporarily and established a ce* tour, which is taken here to mean that the traffic-bound macadam sur- f tcing process is now to be finished. Completion of Highwav 9 0 has s >. often been anticipated that it would perhaps be best to hold the shouting until the detour signs are down again and completed need is actually in use. However, the pro­ bable early completion is welcomed as it will unquestionably result in some relief to the traffic congested stretch of No. 10 between Lexing­ ton and the river, which besides its importance as a traffic artery per haps also bears the distinction of being the worst located and worst constructed stretch of principal highway in the state!—Lexington Dispatch. a reduction in taxes, not more taxes and that any sales tax adds to the the total tax burden “The people of North Carolina are unable to pav the taxes which are now assembled against them . . . Economic conditions cannot improve until there is a reduction in the cost of government Instead of levying $10.0 0 0”,poo in addition-- al State taxes, the State should re­ duce the present tax load/by at least that amount . . . Ten million dollars of added taxes upon the people of North Carolina at this time would be governmental con­ fiscation.” Charley Ross Mystery RevivetL by- Death. New York.—The Charley Ross case, a kidnaping mystery in the death from hunger of a derelict of the city streets. Perhaps, like countless others before it, the new clue to the solu­ tion of one. of the most baffling crimes of American history, may lead nowhere. Scores of persons in the years since four-year-old Charley Ross was abducted from in front of his Germanton, Pa., home have claimed to know bis whereabouts, but all have failed in proof. Mrs. Emma KIeinertz1 of Cats- kill, N. Y., believes she has evi­ dence that the Bowery derelict. William Bronson, of uAose death from malnutrition she read recent­ ly in a New York paper, was really Charley Ross. Detectives were in Catskill yesterday questioning her. Officers at the missing persons bureau were skeptical wheu they received a letter from Mrs. Klein- hertz identifying Bronson and Ross had been triends all their Jives. He was a small boy when she met him, and he told her he was the Ross boy. She said he gave her papers in substantiation of what he said, and made her promise she would not disclose their contents until he died These papers, still in her possession, were to be shown to detectives. Chariey Ross was four years old when he was kidnapped 58 years ago. Branson’s age on the death certificate is 6 2 . H e had no re­ latives liviug. There was only one mark of iden­ tification on the,Ross boy—a vac­ cination scar. A similar scar was the only mark found on the body of Bronson. The promise of fireworks was the lure used by two men who coaxed the 4 -year-old child into their horse- drawn vehicle the afternon of July t, 1874. His brother, W alter, six, was kidnaped at the same time, but was found crying on a Phila­ delphia street corner, eight miles a- way, several hours later. On December 18 of the same years two men were shot and killed during a robbery. W ith his dying breath one of them gasped: “My name’s Joe Douglas. W ith tae is William Mosher. We stole Char­ ley Ross. I don’t know where the kid is.” The bodies of the men were iden- iifiedlater by W alter Ross as those of the kidnapers. A fortune was spent in the hunt for the boy. One trial led to Al­ bany and the territory near Catskill. which was a circumstance that prompted New York police to check the new clue. Mistakes. W hen a garage man makes a mistake be adds it on vour bill. When a carpenter makes a mis­ take it’s just what he expected. W henapreacher makes a mis­ take nobody knows the difference. W hen a lawyer makee a mistake it was just what he wanted, because he has a chance to try the case all over again. W hen a judge makes a m istake it becomes the law of the land. W hen'a doctor makes a mistake he buties it. ~But when the editor makes a mistake—Good Night! 91-Year Old Cotton Picker. Miss Zilphia Howell, living near Goldsboro, though 91 years old, has this season picked 1 ,1 0 0 pounds of cotton. She thinks little of walk­ ing two or three miles to visit neigh­ bors and friends, when -she is pot picking cotton. Charges Others Than Needy Are Getting Red Cross Supplies. Far be it from me to wish to inter­ fere with the distrribution of Red Cross supplies to a single person who needs it, and I may be totolly mis­ taken about conditions, but I have wondered why, during w hat is called hard tim es, and when the U nited States is supposed to have a deficit of a billion dollars each year, the governm ent would undertake tosup- port so many people in a style to Wnich they have never been,- ac­ customed. W e read of people who are des­ perately hungry, of millions of un­ employed, of those who com m it sui­ cide because they connot feed their families, of children who faint from hunger a t school, I am probably not inform ed upon the subjett, but I had thought the Red Cross flour and cloth was for such as these; and not for the m oderately well-to-do farm ers who own their own hames. have raised bountiful crops. These rather sub­ stantial farm ers often, it is true have diffichlty in finding cash to pay their taxes. It would seem th at the gov­ ernm ent could benefit such fam ilies m ore by m aking it so they could keep their homes than by doling out to them groceries of which they already have a superfluity. Y et, to the casual observe, it ap­ pears th at the m ajority of the people who are obtaining help are such fair­ ly well-to-do families, th at many families who are suffering do not obtain help, and that those who se­ cure flour and cloth get at least tw ice as much as necessary and w arte it. According to, announcem ents in the paoers. certaip restrictions w ere to be observed in distributing the flour and cloth. Y etitisg iv en to fam ilies who have bountiful crops, who either have regular jobs or regulrr work on the farm and parttim e jobs; who own cars, buy snufi, tobacco, candy, chewing gum , peanuts. Coca- Cola, and attend the picture show. I have oeen told th at flour was. dis­ tributed to a woman who had 56 bushels of w heat threshed and had $300 cash on hand, as well as money in the bank. Three or four have brought it to our observation th at in some cases, where the head of the family is m aking $3 a day, and the w heat crop is large, that family; ob­ tained 50 pounds of flour each week. In another fam ily/w here, according to their own story, at least four or five of the chilnren are earning an aggregate of $400 or $500 a m onth and helping the homefolks substant­ ially and tne homefolks make adequ­ ate crops on their own farm and a rented farm , flour and cloth have been obtoieed. It is not, in my opinion, any con­ scious dishonesty on the p art of the people which makes many seek help when they are already com fortably fixed. On the contrary, these fam ­ ilies—good, deserving, but not really needy—think, rightly or wrongly, th at there is a vast surplus of the supplies and that everyone who can use any of them is entitled to his share. They say, “ There is lots of stuff to give away, and we had ju st as well nave some as everybody else.” I fear that it is a doctrine of “ Chacun poursoi” (everybody for him self), and that many of those who apply for aid thev could well do w jthout are too thoughtless.of the fam ishing hordes. To distribute aid to everybody who needs it and to nobody who .does not need it is. obviously, too stupendous a task for anyone to perform , A survey would probably reveal little; city w elfare Workers and anyone not on the inside by the seem ing poverty of the plain farm xPeopIe who never knew luxury, but who never cam e within ten thousand miles of starv­ ation An investigation m ight -rev- eal tn at no aid has been distributed amiss. In my opinion, if the real truth could be arrived a t .' it would reveal th at seldom dad there been quite such a hoax—innocently per­ petrated, perhaps—and tg a t few iks had been so bungled as the dis­ tribution of aid for the distressed.— RUTH LINNEY1 W inston Journal.

We Just about forty years ago Coxev marched to W ashington with an army of unemployed men who were demanding bread. Gro"er Cleve land was president at that time. Coxev and his bovs didn’t get the bread, but if our memory doesn’t fail us, they were jailed for tram p­ ing on the grass around the capitol. Last week another hungry crowd marched on Washington with H er­ bert Hoover filling the presidential chair. The boys were not put in jail, and left without getting any In the death of Charles A. Cle­ ment, early last week the town of Mocksville and the county as a whole, loses one of its best known citizens—a man who had been in public life for more than half a cen­ tury. We presume that Mr. Cle­ ment knew as many or more men, women and children iu the county than any other one citizen. For nearly sixty years he was a sales­ man for C. C Saniord and C.

Many changes took place during all these years but Charlie Clement remain­ ed, the sajne clever, efficient sales man to the last. Hundreds of peo­ ple always called for him when they went shopping at Sanford's. He took snecial delight in waiting on his farmer friends. He knew them all and they all knew him.

C. December r4 1932 F. H. SISSON THE TAX MENACE A GROWING CRISIS By FRANCIS IT. SISSON President American Bar.kers Association N O danger, economic or social, more seriously menaces our life, happi­ ness and prosperity than the rising tide of taxes %vhich threaten to engulf us. Thisisnot sim­ ply a problem of the depression. It has been develop- ingfor many years, growing more se­ rious all the time. T h e depression merely brought it to a climax. Un­ less drastic steps are tak^n to re­ verse this trend the problem will not end with the depression. It will continue to weigh down and retard progress for an indefinite period. In city, county, state and nation the orgy of spending has run on. It is esti­ mated that in the United States the total cost of all government is nearly five times what it was before the World War. Many localities have been brought to the verge of bankruptcy by their expenditures, while many have saddled their citizens with a debt bur­ den that will darken their lives and hamper their progress for years to come. The total cost of Federal, state and local government 111 the United States is estimated at forty-six million dollars a day. Based 011 national income in 1930. this represents about one-fifth the total income of our people, or about $110 for every individual in the na­ tion. Total taxes in 1931 are esti­ mated to have taken more than 22 per cent of the national income. It is occa. *ion for serious thought on the part of everyone when one day’s income out of every four or five must be contributed to the maintenance of government ma­ chinery. Reductions Possible United States Government expendi­ tures were reduced one hundred and forty million dollars during the first quarter of the current fiscal year. The recent action of bankers in calling a halt to unnecessary expenditures of New York City as prerequisite to Joans will reduce the cost of government in the country’s metropolis, which is sec­ ond in its expenditures to only the Federal Government. No state in the Union, in fact, no other government on this hemisphere, spends half as ■ much as this one city. These savings ;in Federal and municipal costs are only the beginning of a movement needed throughout the country, if we are to ; be led out of depression into pros­ perity. Unless the people cau be made to realize that money for governmental expenditure can come only from their own pockets as taxpayers, casting de­ pressing effects on both individual ef­ fort and general business, there is an imminent threat that we may be forced to meet economic difficulties similar Io those that have so seriously handi­ capped ether countries. The question is not primarily one of merely paring government salaries or shaving budg­ ets, but rather of curtailing govern­ ment activities for which we cannot afford to pay. The idea that money for these mount­ ing extravagances can be raised by fol­ lowing the slogan “Soalr the Rich” is utterly fallacious, for such a policy will simply exterminate “the rich” and eliminate sources of revenue. It is also important to realize that corporate business iu this country is in no posi­ tion to withstand the effects of indefi­ nite advances in tax rates. Current earning reports reveal that fact be­ yond shadow of doubt The tax base must be broadened, and it therefore seems likely that Congress will be called upon to reconsider the sales tax, at least as a temporary measure to help meet a critical condition in the nation's finance. D e p o s i t ‘G u a r a n t e e ’ F a i l s o f P u r p o s e LOS ANGELES.—While the idea of the guarantee or bank deposits by ) some legally enforced plan seems to [ appeal to many people who give it • casual thought, the fact is that it has not only failed in every instance in the eight’stales where the experi­ ment was tried, but actually produced unsound hanking and increased the number of failures, it was declared by the recent convention of the American Bankers Association held here. “Guaranty of bank deposits carries an idea that naturally appeals to peo­ ple in general on casual consideration," the declaration said. "However, in principle it is unsound and in practice it is unworkable. It has been tried in eight States and it has not only failed in every case, but it has resulted in increasing the number of bank fail­ ures. Taxing properly manage# banks to make up losses of failed banks is not only unfair and unreasonable, but it weakens the whole banking struc­ ture. Again, guaranty of deposits places the ineompoteut and reckless banker on an equal footing with the able and conservative tanker, which encourages bad banking at the ex­ pense of sound banking. We are there­ fore opposed to the passage of any law carrying a guaranty of bank de­ posits and believe (hat it irf aga.Tnst Mie interest of the people of the United States to develop any such system.” The Best Friend Of, Hard Times. TVie best friend of “ hard times’’ is a high tax rate. Reasonable taxes encourage the ^ investment of capital, the develop­ ment aud expansion of industry, the employment of labor. They encourage home building, savings and business activity of all kinds. Excessive taxes, oil the other hind have precisely the opposite effect. They drive money into hoarding or into tax-free govern­ ment bonds, thus depriving industry of revenue it sorely needs. They make tor unemployment and for widespread 'economic distress. They discourage the home builder. They cause property to be taken over by the county or state for un paid taxes, where it at once becomes unproductive. Make no mistake about it, high taxation, whether by the federal government, or states, counties or municipalities, has had much to do with creating and prolonging hard times. Every business man in the I United States knows that So does every investor. So should every worker.

Fo£ Nerve Exhaustion, Loss of Flesli and Weakened Vitality, Irogen Is Ideal Tonic Remedy North Carolina Man Tells Why He Thinks It Is “The Best; Medicine in the World.”—Great Prescription Quickly -Re­ vitalizes the Blood and Restores Vigorous Health. Tlie number of victims o£ nervous exhaustion and general breakdown is steadily increasing in the United States, according to the statistics of health experts. It appears, from tjieir reports, tliat nature has failed to provide for the abnormal strain of modern business and social life, and it is not surprising that the nerve cells give away. When tlie nerves are deranged the digestive organs are impaired, food ceases to yield the proper nourishment, the blood becomes impoverished, insomnia appears, and the usual result is a general nervous breakdown.Men and women who get in this condition, or who feel it approach­ing, need a powerful but safe res­ torative tonic, which will build up and strengthen the entire System and, at ,the same time, act directly upon the digestive and assimilat­ing organs. ■ HAS PHENOMENAL SUCCESS IROGEN’S success has been phe­nomenal. Although the first pack­age was put on the market less than a year ago, the sales in this vicinity have already run into thou­ sands of bottles, and letters are pouring in unsolicited from people In every walk- of life, telling of the wonderful® relief it has afforded from !suffering and general physi­cal weakness. One of these, which is typical, comes from A. D. Ballard, of Bilt- more, N. C., near Asheville, the father of six children. Mr. Ballard writes that lie noticed a fallin- off in weight, accompanied by contin­ uous backache, with touches of rheumatism and weak kidneys.“After taking only one bottle of IROCrEN, I found that I had gained five pounds,” he’ writes enthusias­ tically. “AU the pains in my back have gone, I feel strong and fit for a day’s work every morning, I sleep well and am always hungry at meal times. I believe it is the best med­icine in the world.” NOT A PATENT MEDICINE IROGEN is not a patent medicine. It contains Food Iron, Nutritious Malt, valuable digestives and other famed tonic aids of recognized medicinal value.

Fm Through With Being Depressed. For the past three years I have lived a horrible life. There has been nothing the matter with me except that I have been scared stiff. After three years of fright, during which none of the things I was afraid of happened it is high time I changed and begun to live like a normal human being once more. My salary was cut, yes but it really wasn’t serious, and I can certainly still live pretty well, and a lot better than I have been living lately. I propose to start living here and now—today: In my closet there are two busi­ ness suits. One is too badlv worn for any mrn in my position to wear at all it will go to some one who really needs it. The other I C211 wear when I do odd jobs around the house. I ’m going to buy two new suits, and wear them on alternate days, for that’s the way to get the best wear out of them. I ’m going 10 buy an overcoat and a hat too. Mv shirts have fringes on the cuffs. My underwear is patched, and my darned socks are ugly and uncomfortable. My shoes have been half soled, and the uppers are cracked. I am buying an entire new outfit, and my old things are going where they will do some real good. I ’m going to stop being a- shatned of my appearance. My wife needs dresses, underwear shoes, hat gloves. I ’ve given her the cash to buy them with. ‘Get every thing you need,’ I told her, ‘Nothing more and nothing less’. The living-room rug is a sight. Out it goes, and in comes a new one—and a new living room suite, While prices are so low; We need new curtains, towels and even sheets. Did you ever sleep on pat­ ched sheets? N everagain!- My old automobile has 56 .0 0 0 miles on it, and the best you can say for it is it still runs. Tue p^int is dull and chipped, the nickel is rusty, the upholstery stained aud worn threadbare, and there are e nougli rattles aud squeaks to amuse all the babies from now to.kingdom come. Every few hundred miles soma annoying little repair costs me from 58 cents to $5. I ’m going to buy a new car because I need it and want it and because I i_an afford it. My old radio still works, but I know that during the past three years there have been big improve­ ments. The new radios sound a lot better, look better, are easier to work and thev give you more stat ions, there’s a new one coming to our house. I’m going to buy the books I have been wanting to read. I ’m going to see the shows I want to see. I ’m going to buy everything I need and can really afford. And I ’m going to contribute gen­ erously to the unemployed because like most Americans, I want to help 'people in distress. It all comes down to this—I’m goiDg to live the kind of life I am entitled to leid, in living that life I am aiding others,, directly and in­ directly, to live their own lines by tielping to provide them with the money and work they need. I ’m through with being depressed m body and soul from now on, see me smile and watch my dust.— M. C. HOWARD. Knoxville Tenn- , Suggests Fluctuating Interests. Will Rogers under the cloak of sarcasm issues some mighty gocd advice and utterssigiiifiscant truths. Recently he suggested that Uncle Sara tell Europe to "pay or de­ fault,” and that is just about the gist of the administration's present attitude toward the war debts. Here is another audacious obser­ vation 'oy Mr. Rogers: I have heard every kind of reason given for our hard times, and as causes for our slow recovery. But I have never heard the real one, that’s that interest is too high. Thgworldand about everybody in it are broke from paving too high interest. No man should receive more for the hire of his money then he could take it and earu with it for the last three years there has been nothing that he could have made even one percent on it. outside of loaniug it. The banks all failed because the in­ terest people owed ’em was larger than the principal. W hat would be the matter with banking 011 a real percentage basis, with the banker receiving interest in accordance with the borrower makes on the loan.” Of course Mr. Rogers is suggest­ ing something impossible of being worked out. but he points to an ine­ quity to which his thousands of readers every day will voice a cau tious amen. The borrower who thinks- he is keeping his fingers in the financial pulse, often is disappointed to find that although when money isqtiot ed as “ eaay,” if he is able to ob tain a loaii at all, he is not further encouraged with a drop in the in­ terest rate. If he needs it right badly and has to fall back 011 the loansharks, they just- about eat him alive, after he is properly salt­ ed and peppered with “ service charges” of one sort or another. Luckily there is not much of the latter practice in Statesviile hut in some of the latter practice in States­ ville but in some of the larger cities of the state the common practices of the loan shark have been halted only the interest of the citizens.— Statesville Record.

These ate the char­ acteristics that dominate our native drama and they create the prevail­ ing estimate of us in other sections. It is time someone was bursting the bubbles of"simple folks” in the South, “ six-shooter ^cowboys” in the West, and "greedy money sharks” in the North and East.

Where The Money Goes Practically every cent raised bv axes 011 real estdte in North Caro Iina goes to the debt service fund, according to an analysis of the tax dollar by Commissioner of Reve nue A. J. Maxwell. No wonder we are in financial difficulties when it takes a[l the tsx on realty to pay interest aud curtail our bonds, notes and public debts. There is a lot of talk about cut ting expenses by firing some public servants and consolidating depart­ ments of the state government. There is little doubt but that some bureaus and division could be dis­ pensed with and some on the public Piy roll dropped without impairing <overnmetit. It might make it more effecient. But the ridiculous statements that great big saving could thus be ac complished is exposed bv Mr. Max well. He shows that only 4 .4 cents of the tax dollar goes to administra­ tive purposes Our spending spree is what ac­ counts for the taxes We built on crrdit and now are having to pay­ back the money plus interest The state has its roads, schools and fine eleemosynary institutions, but they are not paid for. The condition is not the fault of any individual As a people we wanted our govern­ ments to go ahead and spend just as we as individuals practiced the bor­ rowing and spending habit until the eoonomic cycle turned. Now it is time to pay. Mr. Maxwell advocated during his campaign for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination a mora torium on debts of the state until income should be more nearly com­ mensurate with the size of the debts. As it is now, the taxpayers of the state must pay debts iu terms of dol­ lars that are worth a great deal less than the dollar face value of the debts. Wliy not wait until the former relationship between debts and income have been more nearly restored?—Twin City Sentinel. Dirty Dig. (From Winstony-Salem Jonrnal) G. B.

The prosperity of the farmer de­ pends upon this: I The cost of his production. 2. The volume of his production. 3. The price he obtains for what he produces 4 . The price he pays for what he buys. The first two are largely the problems of the farmers as a group. They are the reasons-for-being of the co operative movement. No single farmer, dealing with a large buying or selling organiza­ tion, can have a voice in price. He must take what he is offered or lose the business. When he joins with thousands of other farmers whose problems ane hopes are one with his the shoe is on the other foot. The buying or selling orga nization lias met its equal—and the price is much more likely to be a fair one. No co operative, ot course, can raise prices to the desired level in times like these W hat they can do is to keep them higher than they would otherwise be and prepare the groundwork for future achieve­ ment. AU over the couutry. the co operative movement is making gains, both in strength and mem bership, and the results are begin ning to show. W hen the economic clouds finally clear, and organized j agriculture can be ready for a per- I iod of prosperity unprecedented in the century.

Reference to the World AIrfianac shows that Mr. Wilson came into power in 1913, an accidental President, due to the split in the Republican ranks between Roosevelt and Taft, the public debt of the United States was $9 6 5,7 0 6 ,6 1 0 and when Wilson handed over the reins of govern ment to Harding iu 1921 the pub­ lic debt at that time was $2 3,7 3 7, 3 5 2,oSo or iu other words the U nit­ ed States was in debt $2 2 ,7 7 1,6 4 5,- 47 0 more after eight years of a De­ mocratic administration than at any other time in the history of the country.

W ashington, Dec. 7 —President Hoover’s budget today warned con­ gress it must watch the nation's purse strings, and recommended that it: Euact a sales tax of 2 r-4 per cent. Retain for anoihes year the 1 cent gasoline tax. Cut government salaries 11 per cent and in addition continue the present 8 1-3 per cent cut under the furlough plan. Restrict benefits to veterans by $127,0 0 0,0 0 0. Make appropriations of #4 ,2 1 8,- 8 0 8 ,3 4 3. Mr. Hoover also predicted deficit of $1,146,478307 for the present fiscal year, and estim ated a deficit of $307,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 next year, uuless the additional tax program and ec­ onomy program is adopted.

S Paying and Spending It is KeneraDy agreed that increas- >e Drrchasing power is the main lever vith which we can hope to raise our­ selves from the depthf. And there ire two ways in which the individual ?an aid by spending wisely and paying his bills. Things got out of hand because government and individual three years ago, were spending without re­ gard to ability to pay; the lesson that both should learn is to find out just how mnch can wisely spent—and spend it. It would mean a lot to business generaily if those who buy would pay their bills promptly when due instead of hamstringing the merchant into providing them with a free banking service. Pay him promptly and he will keep the money moving: orders will be placed, factories will add to their payrollf and railroads will start hauling things. We need to stop waiting for a Santa Claus to lay the gift of pros­ perity in or lap, but above all do we need to quit seeking bilg-a-boos in every shadow There is a wide gulf between managing our expenses to manage us. And wise manage­ ment does ro t rlwavs mean that we should hold on to a dollar until the eagle smothers to death--particular­ ly if we owe it to some other indivi­ dual who would keep moving along. -E x . _______________ A Worthy Suggestion. It has been'frequently suggested that now that the state has taken over the maintenance of the roads, it should also take over that part of the bonded indebtedness of counties which was incurred in the constrnc- of roads. That would appear to be a tremen­ dous undertaking at first glace. On second thought however, the sug­ gestion is not so absurd as it may sound. North Carolina’s highway system, one of the finest in the na­ tion, is about completed. The pro­ blem henceforth will be one of main­ tenance. The state imposes a big tax on gasoline and in normal times, it should bring in a huge amount of revenue. W hethertheam ountwould be sufficient to take care of the obli­ gations that would.be entitled by as­ suming the counties’ bonded indebt­ edness for roads is the question. However, it is certain that th& counties need assistance at this time. They are paying as best they can,, but under present conditions it is difficult for them to continue at their present rate. This indebtedness for roads is a problem. Can the state take it over? Some believe that possible; others consider it too large for even the grearstate of North Carolina. It appears certein that some bill designed to bring about relief for the counties will be introduced at the next session of the General Assembly. —Wilkes Journal. Needed Shirts. The Associated Press deemed the following story of.sufficient im port­ ance to put ou its wires to the big newspapers and we reckon it will do for Salmagundi too: " I met a man near Summit, walk­ ing to Silverdale,” HcLeod said to­ day. "H e was carrying three bags of corn shucks. "H e said he received them as pay for putting a roof on a house for a neighbor. He had no use for the coru shucks. He was carrying them three miles to a poultry farm , where he could exchange them for empty feed sacks. ".These sacks, he said, he would take home, wash, and make into shirts for himself and his smalj son. “ Furthermore, he had to make the shirts himself, his wife having left him when he lost his job. H e was wearing one of his sack, shirts at the tim e.” —E x ' Haywood county farmers have recedtly purchased three pure bred beef bulls for upgrading the herds of the county.

This means that the new Sheriff has got a big job on his hands. The biggest laxpaver in C 'Unty, the Ervin Cotton Mills, !live already paid their 1932 taxe>. The total tax to be collected this year is only a little more than §101,- OOil which means that the former, sheriff had collected less than §20. 1 ooo of the 1923 taxes, and most of above zero. The mercurv climbed to 23 degrees Sunday morning and dropped to 20 degrees above zero Monday. Rojds were almost ira- Dassable Saturday aud Sunday.

Let’s Have A New Deal In Mocksville. Editor Record:—I don’t know exactly what the tax rate is at present in Mocks­ ville, but I do know when it was 25 cents on the hundred we got our side walks scraped after snows. Why is it chat we can’t have sidewalks we can use at such times as the peesent. Why do men, wo­ men and children have to be forced to take to the middle of the streets to get up town and to their work? It is high time that the voters go tn the polls and vote for a chance in our town officers and school board; why the Superintendents oi schools in the one hundred counties of the state are getting an average of over twenty eight tiundree dollars a year; they are pain out of the blood money of the poor home owmars whose homes are be­ ing sold by the authorities to pay these big salaries to principals and other school people. How many people can you find whose income has not b>-:eu slashed from 30 to 60 per cent in the last two or three years, yet w.~, are paying salaries out of the tax payers money far above the aver age man’s income. Why is i ? Do these people who are living tff the taxpayers deserve a better living than the rest of us? Why not reduce the salaries and help the oppressed home ownet?

Fleming, President Riggs !National Bank, Washington. D. C., gave the recent convention of the American !Bankers Association a description of ‘the difficulties and problems confront- 'ing the law-makcrs. Mr. Fleming said in part; “The most important part oC organi­ zation of the two branches of congress is election of standing committees. There are 34 standing committees in ‘the Senate and 4G in the House. These are the workshops of Congress and the real work of lawmaking is done in Committee Rooms. “The task of legislating for 124,000,* 000 people is a tremendous one. Of re­ cent years approximately 20,000 bills are introduced annually in the two Houses. Only a small percentage be­ come law, but they must be weighed in committee, accepted or rejected, per­ haps amended, reported out, and then considered on the floor. “Lawmaking involves about 09^ of liard and nnspectaculr.r work and about 1% of oratory. Few tasks ap­ pear so easy and are so diftifcult as en­ actment of sound and satisfactory leg­ islation. Few individuals in any line ^of activity work harder or longer hours than the chairmen of the important committees during a session. I have great sympathy for the members of Congress whose constituents expect •undivided attention to every piece of ,legislation m which they may be inter­ ested. From my personal observation, they earnestly and conscientiously en­ deavor to do all that is humanly pos­ sible. Public Hearings • ltWlien a bill is introduced,referred to committee and printed the next step, if it is a measure of considerable im­ portance, is to conduct a public hear­ ing. The committee makes an effort to listen to anyone who cares to be heard either for or against a measure, al­ though witnesses are frequently limit­ ed as to time. Members of the Cabinet and other officials of the administra­ tive departments of the Government usually testify on measures in which they are interested and furnish the committee information in executive session or otherwise. In this way the [Administration takes a prominent part in shaping legislation. “Due to pressure of work and the fact that it is impossible for members of Congress to be technical experts on every subject of legislation, the com­ mittees are inclined to give considera­ tion to the merits of arguments pre­ sented in testimony and the recom­ mendations of the Cabinet and other officipls. It is therefore highly desir­ able, both from the standpoint of Con­ gress as well as those effected by pro­ posed legislation, that the IatterJiave an opportunity to discuss frankly the effects of such legislation. “We sometimes complain about the technicalities of legislation, but when we observe organized minorities en­ deavoring to force class legislation through one House it is a comfort to kuow such measures may be caught in the meshes of technical procedure in the other and there suffer what is termed automatic asphyxiation." view of the "banking situation from a good many people. His idea is as follows: “With rents falling and unpaid. Teal estate does not present a happy pic­ ture. Nor does the owner of care­ fully selected bonds feel any happier, with a bunch of them going wrong. A lot of folks very carefully invested in preferred and common stocks in the linest companies in the world and have seen them fall to perhaps a tenth of what they paid for them, and no div­ idends at all. Some folks kept their money in saving! accounts in banks, and some banlis have closed and left them high and dry. But the situation is worth looking at very carefully. “On government authority, most banks Ihat closed were really solvent but for frozen assets and popular timidity. Gradually the closed bank^ are coming out from under and de^ posilors in even bad cdses will‘get at least 50 per cent Ot their savin; That’s tough of course; nobody likes/ to lose half of what they had scrimped) and sacrificed and saved. But when you hoard and stick the roll of bills in a coffee pot or under a mattress, some plug-ugly ccmes along and burns your feet till you tell him to take it and welcome. “And what about the great majority of banks that weathered the storm, met all comers and are doing business as usual, carefully and conservatively, but safely? What about the savings in those banks0 They are a full 100 per cent today—and they are the only thing we know of at 100 per cent any­ where. After all is said and done, a good, well managed bank is still the best place in all the world for money or savings. Right now in Ohio the banks pay the taxes on savings and pay their depositors 1»*.. interest on their savings. We can’t think, jusf now, of many other investments that are a tenth as safe as a savings ac­ count in a solid bank. Why, even a savings account in a closed Imnk is actually worth more today than mosl stocks.” t A Country Editor L o c k s a t B a n k i n g r IE editor of the Norwalk. Ohio.
