GRAHAM, N. C., JUNE 2, 1927
A BID.
It seems to be definitely settled
that President Coolidge will es
tablish the Summer White House
in the Northwest. The place
chosen is the state game lodge in
the Black Hills, South Dakota.
The Lodge contains 30 rooms,
sufficient to house the President's
official family, and is in the
midst of a huge park with an
abundance of wild game.
It is decidedly away from main
railjoad lines and Mr. Coolidge
will be out of reach of the throngs
and save himself much talking,
which should be to his liking as'
he is not given to many words.
But it is wondered what he will
have to say to the fanuor delega
tions that, perphance, may call;
and why it was that lie vetoed
the Farm Relief bill.
The opinion of politicians is
that the Northwest has been chos
en to curry favor with the big
farm vote of that section, Mr.
Coolidge, they say, being a recep
tive candidater for renomination.
Captain Lindbergh's non-stop
flight from New York to Paris
seems to have given Henry Ford's
opinion of air navigation a big
boo#t. Some months ago the
news became prevalent that Ford
would begin the manufacture Of
airplanes on a big scale and final
ly little or nothing was said about
it. Now he comes back with
statements that makes one believe
that he is getting in earnest
about the matter. About Lind
bergh he remarks that he is "one
boy who knows that he knows
what he knows." And further
states that if a plane can be made
to carry one passenger safely, a
plane can be made to carry 100
?or 200. It is a good guess, we
believe, that he will undertake
the building of such a craft.
The frequency of destructive,
death-dealing tornadoes west of
the Appalachian mountain range
suggests that there is a reason.
The wind tweeps over the treeless
plains unimpeded, gaining in
volume and fury as it advances,
like the torrent with frequent
tributaries adding to its volume
as it rolls ou. Is it the absence
of forests, as in the case of floods,
that permits the gathering storm
to go on on its uiissiou of waste
aud destruction?
Capt. Lindbergh has a longing
to get home. Ho has packed his
plane and will sail on Saturday
direct for Washington where he 1
* expects to land on the 11th. From
Paris he went to Brussels. The
King of Belgium received him aud
decorated him. Thence to Lou
don. King George received and
further decorated him with hon
ors. When he gets to Washing
ton other distinguished honors
await him.
North Carolina made a record
in cotton growing in 1926, there
having been ginned op to March
21st 1,204,490 bales of 500-pound
bale equivalent, the largest in the
State's history. The State also
earpassed other cotton belt States ,
in acre production, the yield
being over 290* pounds of lint
cottou per aero from the 1,985,000
?cree packed. The country's crop
(or the', year totaled 17,910,258
bales.
Sweet potatoes cured in a to
bacco barn compared with those
cured in a regular house were
equally good in quality, find
growers in Columbus county.
A club girl from Polk county
won first place in a milking con
test and third place in cow judg
ing at the Mountain Branch Sta
tion recently.
. .
THE SURPLUS
It is now estimated that the
government treasury will have a
surplus of close to $000,000,000,
perhaps more, at the end of the
liscal year, June 30th. Two
pears ago, when the Democrats
proposed a reduction in income
tax rates the ghost of a deficit
was displayed. Some were scared,
hut there were enough courageous
rues to staud by and put it over.
Now the "ins" are smiling over
the huge surplus, almost, if not
juite, assuming credit ferdj, and
darting propaganda for further
?eduction.
The Surplus has grown to its
riammoth proportions in spite of
;lie great army holding work loss
iobs around Washington, who
monthly scoop the means for
necessaries and luxuries from the
government till, and in spite of
die fact that the administration
eaders paraded the gaunt skele
ton of a depleted treasury.
The uppermost question now is
what to do about it. There are
many uses to which it could be
puTj in the event a heavy cut is
not made in the tax rate.
In the World War program of
preparations ^billions were spent.
Much was wasted. But the hur
ried preparation necessarily en
tailed waste. What America
lid was done in large measure for
self-preservation, and with the
hope that the World War would
be the end of wars.
A vital problem of preserving
life anil property now looms,
second only in magnitude, so far
as Aineria is concerned, to the
great war?the saving of the fer
tility of the great Mississippi
Valley and the lives of those who
create wealth in that vast domain
together with their accumulations.
To accomplish these things is a
gigantic task?a problem that
must be solved by statesmen and
scientist working together.
To be sure there are many and
many who will rise up and pror
claim the idea of taming the
"Father of Waters" a hopelessly
impossible task. The Panama
canal was once a dream. The
harnessing of the power of torren
tial streams was once a dream. A
non-stop flight in the air betwe en
naps from New York to Paris
was once a dream. The speeding
railroad train and the automobile,
and many other mechanical de
vices were once but dreams
Tunneling mountains and bridg
ing streams and navigating the
air were dreams.
To curb the flow of the Missis
sippi and some of its most ramp
ant tributaries would not be at
tended with the same amount of
hazard and uncertainty as many
other things that mau has under
taken. But nothing qlse that
man has essayed is comparable
to it.
There's a place for the surplus.
Let it do conservation work for
the ages. Reforestation and ma
sonry in cooperation would mini
mize flood control and wrestwealth
and plenty from devastation.
For those who have vast sur
pluses to'pay income taxes is no
hardship that requires rigid econ
omy and self-denial. That con
tribution, or a part of it, could
be wisely employed in making a
greater market for the wares of
the producer and the income tax
T\QVQI?
F'V ?*?
The people of the flooded terri
tory will ooly l>e able to subsist
and exist by dint of the most rigid
economy and by means of llie
millions gathered and administer
ed for their relief. It ia possible,
in large measure, to control the
cause and prevent a repetition of
so great a calamity.
Will the wise be wise and cou
rageous enough to undertake the
colossal task?
Union county farmers find
themselves with more hay than
storage space because of planting
the barley-vetch-oats mixture last
fall.
One ton of ground limestone
used each four years has greatly
increased the yield of cotton on
the average cecil clay soils of
piedmont North Carolina.
