Ketncr. has been I u an invaluable asset to Cherokee county farmers and th y local farming industry. i a Since this section depends a great deal on its agri-1 <> Cultural interests, it is fortunate that we have a man with o the experience and intellectual view for the raising and a disposing of crops that Mr. Ketner has. This week it was announced that he is taking an d active interest in having all eligible cattle r*g\?tered. p Although this calls for a three dollar fee it enhances their t? value as high as seventy dollars in some instances, g Ordinarily such a fact woul dnot he taken into serious consideration by the majority of cattle owners, and it i> ^ only through similai diligent study and work on his part that tin- farmers can In* so expertly advised and thus /, helped in earning their due profit. Mr. Ki liter lias taken an unstinted interest in pro- it moling the growth of the local cannery: he has been a hi leader in the work of digging trench silos which has |{ proved a .-avioi to the farmer who wanted to feed his cattle properly over the winter; he has continually travelled from one end of the cotunty to the other advis- ^ ing as to the planting and raising of crops, the care of s( poultry and cattle and doing everything possible to aid |)( the farmer wherever he saw fit. It was largely through his efforts that tin* 1931 Cherokee county fair was |j Successful a- it was and already he is making plans for (| Jl bigger and better one to be held in 1935. llis pro- ( motion of cattle sales has brought thousands of dollars ci in Cherokee county and kept thousands of dollars here that would have ordinarily gone elsewhere. d Mor" than that Mr. Ketner has become a personal j riend to everv farmer and business man in Cherokee lomntv. Hails many people come to his office in the _ court house seeking advice on any question concerning farming. , a TV.\ inspectors and state agricultural men have hecome closelv attached to him. They find his congenial '' personality and frank advice renders Cherokee county a v much needed service. Every thing from sick calves to ' extensive programs finds his deepest and sincere interest. The Scout lielieves in giving credit where credit is 1 due and according to his 19"5 plans Cherokee county ) farmers will share in an even greater new deal. OUR LEGISLATIVE PROBLEMS ? When the North Carolina Legislature convenes Wed- 1 nesday, its memhers again will face a strenuous session ' with many vexatious problems to solve. The work of the ' legislator has ceased to he a sinecure. Under modern difficulties brought about by the depression, he more > than earns the small amount of money he receives from ' the state. I Formerly, the work of the Legislature ran very smoothly as there were few problems of a major nature I to 1>? transacted. The revenue bill frequently was about the only one over which midnight oil had to be burned. How different is the picture today- Those who run 1 {or office must be eminently qualified as to patriotism ^id willingness to labor diligently in times like these. ?<fany strains ate placed upon the patience and ability of members. Entry by the statu in'o a number of activities has increased the burdens placed upon our legislators. Quite a number of legislative matters of importance Will bo considered at the approaching term, according to P. D. McLean, Raleigh Times reporter, who contributes an interesting article to The State on the more important problems due to come up at this ession. Mr. McLean says that with roads, prisons and the eight-months school term now supported and directed by the" state government instead of by many local units as In former days "the Legislature has about as many children as the old lady who lived in the shoe." ..... ID The Cherokee Scout, Murph "PRIMING THE PUMP" Walter Lipmann. the world*? most liberal journalistic commentator, is reknowned for his phiaseology oi catchy lines that can sum up the whole situation ol national affairs in a word or two. When the depression first struck us. he wrote an article in the American magazine likening the I nited States to a starving human being in the middle of a desert fiui rounded with canned food but having no can-opener. \nw he explains the present situation of relief fund? :is "priming the pump**. Those who have the idea that relief measures have been instituted as regular payrolls should go hack over (his simple principle of "priming the pump" and see what relief is really designed for. When the old well gets so dry that the old hack porch pump fon't pull it. the wiseman will not drink i> last dipper of water and trust to luck for rain, but in will pour the few drops of water down the pump hereby tightening up the suction valves and the water rill run freely. That is exactly what our relief measures arc desigrid to do?start our old economic pump that has about un diy. to pumping back the water of prosperity. T??o many people, we are afraid, has misconstrued his "priming the pump" method believing it is a steady n/tpour of money by the government to sort of tide over mil prosperity comes hack. But prosperity won't come back unless we all take pait and try to make a living of our ofn. To lay hack 11 government funds is literally drinking the dipper full f water that should he used to start the pump going gain. One of President Roosevelt's platforms was to reucc the national debt. hatever course lie pursued, the eopie in general tnougni me v mica :5iaies treasury was > cut its debts substanially from the beginning. That the overnment is going in debt daily can not be understood. The government is going in debt not because the \oosevell principle called not for drinking the dipper ill and idly sitting back for rain that might never come, ut having foresight enough to pour it buck in the jMimp. Because the government is' going further in debt by relief measures is no sign that the people should be ndulx alarmed. Its method and principle is sound, ut it will lake active supposl and not idle pessimism to sep it sound. Printing the pump never fails unless the pump itlf is broken. Our financial system has worked for ars and with continual improvements should work even filer in the future. It will take effort on our part to make the present reef movement a success. Some are opposed to it. But mt is no reason why they should knock it. It has been arted and will continue until the government's finaniul system is made sound agin or tluined altogether. \\ hcther or not the policy of sound economic conitions lluough the present system of relief is successful epends on the attitude of the people and their willingess to cooperate to the greatest extent. He believes revenue again will he a knotty problem ml thinks retention of the sales tax in some form is cerlin. The reapportionment of the Senatorial districts, e thinks, will be undertaken. Efforts along this line cere defeated in 1931 and 1933 but he looks for a showOwn this year in the matter which would give the East ewer men and the West several more. Unemployment asurance, he thinks, will come up for discussion. Two ears ago, Senator W. O. Burgin, of Davidson, introduc d such a measure but didn't get very far with it '"Watch for a real fight on the absentee ballott law", irites Mr. McLean. Too. he anticipates overhauling of nachinery for the operation of the eight months school; le expects a little liberalizing in the matter of supplenents. He looks for shorter session this year. He says the ippropriations measure is sure to be reported out ahead if the revenue bil land will in all likehood contain greaty increased figures. He says the administration of Gov. Ehringhaus is greatly pleased with the personnel of both houses; thai most of the members of the Senate are deemed to b< particularly friendly to it. Mr. McLean beleives prohibition will get some at tention at this session. He says: "Present signs give th? Drys the decided edge but there has been a noticeabh rhange in sentiment since the Tepeal election of Ncvem ber, 1933. Funds for relief are seen as commanding much at tention, but the writer believes the state will show i tendency to place the responsibility for this work 01 cities and cdunties rather than to push it off on thi shoulders of the state which, he says, has already assum ed so many former local responsibilities. He sees capital punishment as having at least i short interval in the state spotlight since Dr. Charles A Peterson, of Mitchell county, is planning to introudce i measure to substitute lethal gas for the electric chair. ?The Asheville Citizen. iursday, Jan. 10, 1935.
