C.. u .. - mjtW Inauguration In a drenching rain Frauklin Delano Roosevelt took the oath of office Wednesday for the se cond term as President of the United States, the oath being administered by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes of the United States Supreme Court. Thousands braved the rain and filled every available space to witness the imposing event. The inaugural address im mediately followed the adminis tration of the oath in which he told the nation while much had been accomplished in the past four years, much remained to be accomplished. He said: We have set our feet upon the road of enduring progress." But there was manifest concern ex preeeed for the underprivileged, for whom so much has been ex pended in the past years. There are many interesting sidelights on the momentous event. The President's mother was present for a second time to see her son inducted into the high est office of the nation. Mrs. Roosevelt ana their children, ex cept the daughter in Seattle and one of the sons recovering from an illness. Some of the grand children were present. There were four generations of the family on the stand. The President and Mrs. Roosevelt rode in an open car from the Capitol to the White House in the biting rain, smil ing and bowing to the multi tude along the way. A replica of the "Hermitage," Jackson's home in Tennebsee, was used as a reviewing stand by the President. Late reports say the Presi dent and members of his family suffered no ill effects from the exposure incident to the inaug uration occasion. The Legislature, down in Ra leigh, right off the bat tackled the revenue -bill ? looking for new sources of revenue and giv ing relief wherever advisable. It looms that 70 millions in rev enue will be necessary, and to raise that amount precludes much hope for relief from the tax burden. Wherever hereto fore appropriations have been made, more is being asked for. Beneficiaries are not backward when it comes to asking for ap propriations. A sales tax is most likely to remain, with some mollifications, and with the urge for more and better highways any change downward in the license tax on motor vehicles is not very probable. The speech of acceptance, or inaugural address, of Vice-Pres ident John N. Garner is the briefest on record. When the oath of office was read to him he said: "I do". That was the sum of it And the distin guished Texan ha* let it be known that that is the last oath of office that he expects to take. Senator Reynolds has turned Washington news writer. His first letter appears in this week's issue of the Gleaner.

It may take, later on, a smoke smudge to arrest damage from late frosts. An appropriation of $000,000 for new school buses has re ceived favorable consideration by the Legislature. The schools have adopted bus trunsporta tion and it will stay, no doubt. Being in it, the obligation for safety is a moral obligation to the last degree. Careful drivers with buses in good condition is the nearest approach to the avoidance of accident. Not even the State is justified in subjecting a child to peril. Two great Generals of the Confederacy, great of soul and of military genius and strategy, were born in the month of Jan uary, Robert E. Lee and Stone wall Jackson, the former on January 19, 1806, at Stratford and died at Lexington, Va., on October 13th, 1870; the latter was born January 21st, 1824, and died May 10th, 1863, at Chancellors viile from wounds received from the fire of his own men fired by mistake. Rarely, if ever, have the deaths ] of two military chieftains been more sincerely mourned. They were the idols of the men they led in battle. Greatest of all both were consecrated, God fearing The dead body of the kidnap ed Mattson child, 10 years old, of Tacoma, Washington, has been found ? stark in the suow. A ransom of $28,000 was de manded. The child/- was kid naped Christmas week, after Christmas day. Failing to make contact, the ransom was ^ not paid. It is a close parallel with the Lindbergh kidnaping. An award of $16,000 is offered for the arrest of the kidnaper. Government G-men are at work on the case and no stone will be left unturned.

Senate It Is too early to anticipate the ceurae of the new Seventy-fifth Congress in re-shaping Federal pro grams and Federal activities in the light of the brighter economic skies tha,t have followed in the wake o t depression storms. However, there is every indication that the Con gress wTU give more than usual study to each recommendation that may call for larger expenditures, increased activity and new functions of government. Evidence of this is already a vail - hie in the form of the unprecedent ed interest in the estimates of income and expenditures? the Fed eral budget ?submitted to the Congress by the President Thus it is obvious that expenditures must be Justified on the basis of the con tributions they will make to the public welfare. Predictions of a "rubber-stamp" Congress by reason of the sweep ing victory of the President last November, and the top-heavy Dem ocratic majorities in both Houses are not borne out by developments to date. The BUDGET? The Federal Bud get for the fiscal year 1937, a* submitted by the President, calls for expenditures of roughly $65 for each man, woman and child in the United States. It also calls for titl es in amount of |45, on the aver age, lor every individual, adults and youngsters. The difference of |20 represents the deficit Let's look at the budget another wayy. John Jones can maintain his family budget and keep income and expenditures balanced so long as the latter adhere rigidly to the budget. But If some mishaps be fall the Jones family, requiring unusual expenses, the head of (the household has to borrow. Prom then on, income must be increased or expenditures slashed, else the bud get loses caate. That Is what happened to the Federal budget. In the absence of adequate income to cover the emer- ; gency outlay and in the face of maintenance of regular expenditur es, there has been a deficit. In other words, multiply the Jones problem about three million times and you have a picture of the Federal situation, which, however, is getting 'better as regards i n - creasing revenues. The 08,000,000 ,000 budget for the fiscal year 1937, ' is around $3,000 , 000,000 above the 1932 level, due !to relief expenditures, farm-aid, ad - Justed compensation for veterans, Social Security, recovery programs and so on. The 1937 total maybe raised or lowered by the Congress as hearings are held on various ap propriation bills. Have these in creased expenditures been Justified? Congress win decide. PRESIDENTS Views- President Roosevelt's thoughts on the subject can best be expressed in his own words as fonows : "The programs inaugurated dur ing the last four years to combat the depression and to initiate many needed reforms have cost Urge sums of money, but the benefits obtained from them are far outweighting all their costs. We soon be reaping the full benefits of those programa and shall have at the same time a balanced budget that will a'.so include provision for re ? auction of the public debt "The fiscal plans of the Federal Qovernment for these four years have been formulated with two ob jectives in mind. Our tint was t o restore a successful economic life to the count! y, by providing greater employment and purchasing power for the people, by stimulating a more balanced nse of our produc tive capacity, and by increasing the r national income and distribut ing it on a wider base of prosperity. Our second was to gain new ad vantages of permanent value for for the American people. Both of these objectives can ba accomplish ed under a 'sound financial policy. "Business conditions have ?hown each year since 1933 a marked *n provement over the preceding year. Employment in private industry is Increasing . Industrial production, factory pay rolls, and farm prices have steadily risen." Sure RECOVERY SIGN- What - sver may be the final appropria tions lor Federal operations, one sure sign of recovery i ? the ! estimated increase pf $1,718,000 ,?oo in Federal taxes (or the fiscal year 1937 as compared to 19S6. This in- 1 crease U, of course, predicated on ' the maintenance of present tax I rates, and reenactment of the long list of excise and so-called nuisance taxes scheduled to expire in June. Speaking of Budgets? While, there is tremendous interest in budget balancing, few people realize that the Federal Qovernment operated for more than a century without a budget. The Bureau of the Budget was not created until 1921. Prior to that time Federal agencies sub mitted estimates of expenditures and Congress raised or cut these estimates. However, since the creation of the Budget Bureau, it acts as s co ordinating agency for assembling data on required Federal expendi tures. It is up to Congressional committees to hold hearings and recommend actual expenditures to Congress. On the basis of commit tee reports, the Congress appro priates the amounts for each Federal agency. Every reasonable effort is made to see that these appropriations are based on the needs of the people. Bigid ad herence to budget lines from 1933 to the present has been, of course, Impossible in the light of public needs. Tho real question is whether the expenditures, dollar and dime, have been wisely handled with the max imum ^ood for the greatest number. Congress Rural-Minded? No better evidence of the faqt that the new Seventy-fifth Congress is rural minded can be found than that fif ty-one members proudly proclaim that they were "born on a farm." Still others were born on farms but failed to record it in their biographies. Small towns predom inate in the list of home residences of members of Congress. This rural-mindedness. which au gurs well for those who |tilt the soil and deserv^he most sympat r thertic understanding of Congress in this day pf chains, mergers, and crowded urban areas, partly ex plains why nearly one-eighth of Federal expenditures in 1935 were aimed at farm relief and to im - prove rural conditions. Federal Reorganization? Perhaps the most significant development In the recent Congress is the whole sale Federal reorganization program submitted by the President. The primary purpose of the reorgani zation, which calls for two new cabinet posts, i? to promote effi ciency in the administration of government affairs. Congress, which is sow studying the various proposals, may insist on economy as weH The outlook is favorable for some government reorganiza - tion, but there is a question whether the congress will permit the execu tive branch to absorb some agen cies that were created by and are responsible to Congress. The Gen eral Accounting Office and the Fed eral Trade Commission are cases in point. Farm ftmilies Need Better Light Bulbs. Many North Carolina farm fami lies are paying for more electricity than they use, according to D. E. Jones rural electrification special ist at State College. This is due tQ the small use of current in some homes where there is a minimum charge per month, he explained. For example, one large power company serving rural areas a mini mum charge based on the coqt of SO kilowatt hours per month. At least half of Its rural customers use less than SO k. w.h., Jones stat ed. _ These homes could have better lights and more electrical ap pliances without paying any more for current, he pointed out. Instead of using 25 or 40-wa,tt light bulbs, as some farm families do, they could use 60, 75 , or 100 wstt lamps for the same cost. Bulbs ars Inexpensive, and the better bulbs would only be making use of current that must be paid for anyway. Jones lAo emphasized the fact thsjt low-power bulbs do not give adequate light lor reading, sewing, or other similar purposes, and as a result they cause eye-strain. Even when better bulbs and ?B tra equipment increase the electric UR ? small amount each month. the better light and increased en joyment of electrical conveniences \ is more than worth the added coat. < Jones also said that although 1 5,51,8 miles of new power lines have 1 been proposed to serve 30,434 rural ' customers, the actual number who receive the service may be some - what less, as a certain percentage , of the families fail to wire their | homes after power has been made i available in their communities Crop Show Expected To Attract Hundred* I Leading farmers from all parts of North Carolina wilt exhibit soma of their finest seed at the third an - nual conference and seed exposition which will be held at Goftdsboro February 9 and 10.

FTtHE world's youngest mayor visited New York recently as official guest of the mayor of the world's largest city? and they talked about budgets! Danny Kampan, Mayor of Boys Town, Nebr., is only 17 and the youngest mayor of a real city in the world. As mayor of New York, Fiorello LaGuardia con trols the largest municipal bud get in the world. After being locked in private conference in LaGuardia's of fice for some fifteen minutes, the mayor of New York admitted lewspapermen and photogra phers: "Mayor Kampan and I have exchanged credentials" LaGuar dia said.

While the two mayors posed to a battery of photographers, rafter Flanagan stood fat the background smiling gently, his eyes serious and kindly. He founded Boys Town, ten miles west of Omaha in 1917. Since then 4,466 homeless boys of all races, colors and creeds ? from the 48 states of the union have been made good citizens there. Beseiged by reporters for a history of his famous home he said: "No boy is a really bad boy. If you take him off the streets you can stem the tide of Crime. No one wants to be a criminal. If ? only the lack of opportunity that makes boys criminals." Breathless before the honors and recognition extended his homeless boys by the great American metropolis Father Flanagan told newspapermen how Boys Town began 19 years ago with five boys, how today present Boys Town with its 360 acres of fine farm land and modern buildings was his dream come true. With pride he show ed reporters a recent letter writ ten him by J. Edgar Hoover, head of the nation's G-Men.
