Bailey Gives Voting Record Under New Deal The session of Congress, which began in the form of a special ses sion November 15. 1S*3T. having ended. it may be of interest to submit a record of my Totes on important measures. I supported the following mea-; urea: 1. The Commodity Credit Act. 2. The Farm Loan Aft provid ing the ral-s of fohr per cent in terest. and sustained the Presi dent's veto of the ihre* and one haif per c-eot. The President in formed the Congress that a k>wer rate wonld tost :tie Treasury sev eral millions of dollar*. 3. The Agricultural Appropria tions Act carrying about a billion dollars, including the $$00.0( <?. 000 for Soil Conservation and Do aoerstjc Allotment, and f 5 5 <? . 000 lor Federal crop insurance, and $21,000.00* lor Farm Ten sac y. and $14. 000. 00# for forest roads and Trails 4 Tbe Avsaricn Act creating i&e Civil Air Authority. 5. Tbe Sew Bankruptcy Act. t Tbe Independent Offices Act. carrying $Ii!- for Social Security Board: HMSt.Sw for the Ten^esse* Valley An,l>orit5': $54S .000. 000 for the Veterans Administration: $41,000,000 for Rural Electrification. 7. The New Civilian Conserva tion Corps Act. . 8. The Pure Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act. 9 The Flood Control Act, which also included the preven tion of water pollution. 10. The Housing Act. 11. The Maritime Act. 12. The New Reconstruction Finance Corporation Recovery Loan Act. 13. The World War Widows Act. and the Pension Act for vet erans of the Spanish-American War. 14. The New Revenue Act. In addition to these, I support ed all the Departmental Bills ac cording to the President's Budget recommendations, and also voted to confirm all appointments re commended by the President, to 1 the number of several thousand, except one. I did not support the following acts : t 1. The Agricultural Adjustment Act, because I am opposed to the principle of compulsory control. 2. The Appropriations for Re lief, because I thought they were too large. I am willing to make generous provision for the unem ployed. but this provision must be consistent with the capacity of t4ie country to raise the money. I am not in favor of pump priming be cause I think it a failure. I think the balancing of the budget would do far more to stimulate business than any amount of borrowed money to be paid by our children, if paid at all. Moreover, I cannot favor the present policy of paying WPA workers over $60.00 a month in New York and other States, and paying them only $31.00 a month in North Carolina. 3. I voted against' the Wage and Hour Bill. 4. The Special Provision of a billion dollar addition to the Navy. I voted for the regular Navy ap propriation carrying $350,000, 000. 5. The Anti-Lynching Bill. 6. The Reorganization of the Government. The foregoing is set forth as my record in the special session for the information of Mie people of North Carolina. It will show a very large preponderance of af firmative votes and will surprise those who have been mis'led by disposition to emphasize my neg ative votes. In all matters, I may faithfully say that I voted con scienftously in the exercise of the best Judgment of which I was cap able, after investigating the facts and the needs and taking every^ thing into consideration. I may close with one statement in the nature of a parable. On the day the President was inau gurated the second time, there was a young man in a building here who went up to the top of the building to look dAwn upon the Inaugural Parade. There was a parapet wall on theroof. He leap ed over it and did not come to a stop until he hit the ground six stories below. He was killed. He leaped without looking. I have tried to look ahead and see the '? implications of bills laid down be fore us. ??' The Congress appropriated be tween twelve and thirteen billion dollars. Taxes will be not more than six billion dollars. This means we will add, in the course of the coming year, about six bil lion dollars to a National debt which now amounts to t'hirty-sev en billion dollars, and the per cap ita public debt of the American people, all told, is likely to be somewhere around $500.00 for each man. woman and child. It is my judgment that this implies a great burden upon workers and farmers and upon the children who are to come after us. I am for economy, retrenchment and a balanced budget. I have never known a government or a man to succeed by continually running into debt. I know it is easy (or a government to pay its debts as it Is for a man to pay his, for the troth is they are paid by men. This to not new doctrine. Thomas Jefferson warned us that public expenditures and high debts were burdena, first of all, upon labor, meaning labor on farms, labor in Industrie* and all other labor. 1 think common sense will tell our people this to true.

July 18 Perhaps mod ern baseball has its thrills. Per haps the game as it is played t<5 day is more interesting and more exciting than the game of 35 sum mers ago, but not so in the minds of "old timers" who were fortun ate enough to witness the rare exhibition of baseball talent as demonstrated at Seven Paths, near , here, between the Seven- Paths nine and the Gold Valley champ ions back in July. 1890. One of the Tans who was pres ent at this famous game recalls, quite vividly, the whole affair as if only yesterday and giv^s the following version of it: The Gold Valley boys left home at early noon and walked eight miles, barefooted, to play against the Seven Paths team. The game was scheduled to start at 1:30 and the two teams proceeded to do teriffic battle to see which should have the honor of making the greatest possible score. For six and one half hours the battle raged. "In Great Form." Ben Gay, who was on the mound for Seven Paths, was in great form allowing only 102 hits but did not receive good backing from his teammates. Onnie Whitley did the hurling for Gold Valley. He allowed only 93 hits and had good support from his fellow players. Several feature plays were made by members of both teams. T Denton, better known as "Slim" Denton (for he wore pants 26 inches in the waist and 51 inches long) made a spectacular catch in centerfield when he climbed a tree to rob Ben Wood of a long hit to t-he woods. Kirlding Star Peter Denton, who held down the second bag for Gold Valley, 1 was great in the pinches, other wise he had 63 errors to his credit. Crad Brantley made the great est hitting average, making 47 hits out of 77 times at bat. Joe Sanders was next, making 32 safeties out of 72 trips to the plate. A total of 54 home runs were made during Mie afternoon. Umpire Nate Strickland's deci sions were fair and above re proach. If a batter struck at a hall that didn't go squarely over the plate, he called it a ball and said he'd be confound if he called anything like that a strike, but that brought no protest from the opposing team. 'Kound and 'Round Tinker Uenton.came near caus ing a sensation when he hit a doub'.e home run. making two trips around t-he' circuit. Umpire Strick land said 'twas fair. Thus the game went for the whole afternoon. Umpire Strick land said that only darkness could stop such a wonderful game, which, he said, was the finest he had ever seenr But when the game was called at the end of the 'sev enth inning, on account of dark ness. and the runs were counted by fhe light of the moon, it de veloped that Go!d Valley had cop ped the laurels by a score of 240 to 16S. Nearly 300 fans said it was "Jes wonderful." Kvery voter in the County -hould iso out anil vote Saturday, l'hey will think more of their government if they will.
