Nowhere else in the world are government offices boused in such spacious and magnificent structured. Only in the ruins of ancient Rome is there anything approaching their mag uifioenoe. Washington is still building palac es. Work was just beginning, when I whs there a couple of w eeks ago, on the uew Interior Depaltment Building, which will be the very last word in comfort, convenience and spaciousness. By contrast the govern ment offies of the British ?mpir3 seem like crowded, dingy hovels. This is a great country, and Wash ington is symbolic of our national /realtness. ?> * ADMINISTRATION . .big job More important than the buildings n Washington is what goes on instd? of them, It is a gigantic job run .he whofc United States from an iso /ited spot off it he Southeast oj ae? [ have been watching the gradual con acntraiion of authority in Washing on for more 'than fifty years. The older I get the more I am impressed with the feeling that it is practically impossible to administer the affairs of the United States from any singlo center. Washington will doubtless always he tho national capital. If we were starting today from scratch, how ever, we would sot up the nation's capital somewhere between Chicago tnd Denver, nearer the center of aaafcroojiim. I thank some day jr? will ?wive to set up district or provincial capitals in sir or seven difforent parts jf the country. PROVINCES . . . maybe here I have no idea whether the Ameri can people, if they eould all vote on ?he question, wou!d piwfer a central ized national government U? our pres ent Federal form in which the s*?tes itill retain a large measure of inde pendence. The tendency for fifty vearg has been toward nationalism. 1)j would take a drtwtic revision of the Constitution to make ta Straight out mational government effective. 1 think it probable if a change s ever made whieh wil'< destroy the present independence of the states, i h.1t it will bo by C7mbiaati?n<? of tel^s inio regional groups or prov nccs. Considering out diversity of cll oatie -and economic conditions, it ia lecoming more and more difficult to ay down rules and kws of national ?pplication which do not bear unfair y upon one region or another Yet he interests of numerous groups of <bates ore so identical that it is quite jossible their interests would be bet er served if they could be united u'io self-govorning units. &EXJEF . ... \ weakness A good example of the difficulty of ?imning a country as big as this fron. tny central point is found in the idininistration of relief by the Fed ral Governmwit. There is no poesi way by which Washington can be u re itfhat its relief disbursements 'each only those who are actually in i?ftd. I talked with Harry Hopkins, Fed eral Relief Administrator, not long iga Mr. Hopkins is a hard-working ?arnest public servant. He wiss sur prised and resentful at the suggestiou lvst& the Local administration of Fed ?ral rel.'ef was inefficient and waste ful in many cases. c The trouble, as m many other Fed eral activities, is that no general mio 'nn be devised which will apply with "qvtal fairness to all kinds of people -awl every locality. That Is trne vh*tfosr the attempt ia to establish :ommodity prices, wWges, hours of ?fbtor, housing conditions or even taxation on <a national scale. And it's just as true no matter what polit ical party or group controls the gov I ?mment , ICONTACTS . . v . . impoarfW* One of the greatest handieaps, un (Pi ease Turn To IV^o 3) \ \ CLOSE SEASON FOR CANDIDATES COMES SATOROAY Saturday i# the last day in wtoich candidates for county office can. file !' their n&mos with the ?ocnLy board of elections, in order to be eligible to run in the primary or the general 1 election, neitt fall. i The Republicans of the county will - I meet in convention tomorrow, Friday, I 1 to nominate their ticket for ceun-y ' offices, to be filed officially as qaiidi I dates.

Not only do the powers that be see a threat* and a serious one, to their oontrol of North Carolina politics; but the pea pie of the State who b9liove in sound financing of <Jho State government, ?; making only such salary scheduli - i,.> nhe State is able to pay, and of meet ing the obligations of the State as they become due, are *M'"g a bit <if consternation in the large following that the Giant-Killer from Forsyth ;s gathering unto hiin^-it ami hi. jJ. H'ieal philotsophy. The present status of the State wide poll, conducted by 25 daily pa pera of North Carolina, shows Mo Donald lio have 48.8 per cent of tlu total vote that has been Clyde Hoey conns second with .J38 per ceat. Lieutenant Governor Gna hajn is trailing as a third, with 15.4 per cent, and John A. Mrltae, is a powerfully poor fourth, with 2 par cent. From this elevation in the iikniji tains, it looks as if the opponents o? the hell-raising McDonald ore con|> dentialiy placing their hope of stop ping him from securing the nomina 'tan upon defeating him in the ?e<? >u<l primary, which they aro gure they ran hold on July 4. They are confident that the MeDonald wove has reached its highest point and that tibo flood wiQ now begin to wane, uril^ it impoesibte for him to garner sofficien*' **?* *> grvehjm striking distaneo of that goal Of course, on tlie other ths large following thai McDonald is in dicated by the straw ballot to ban, gives encouragement and strength to his followers to renew their gfforU. Running as an anti-aales tax can didate for Governor, pledged <to abol ish that tax, to reduce the price of automobile license tags and to raiso the pay of school [teachers and other State employees, withodfc im posing an additional tax on land, all of which ig in the province of the General Assembly, if ilt were possible of accomplishment, and with which the Governor's office has nothing to do, McDonald, who came to North Carolina 12 years ago, and who made many speeches in the laslt General Assembly, has caught the fancy of dissatisfied elements in the State, and has made a tremendous appeal to them. Most people forget that the Governor of North Carolina has per haps less power ban the Chief Execu tive of any other state in the Union. He can only recommend. He can't even veto an act of the General As sembly. His opponents point out thalt lie would he up against that proposition, as well ;ts tiho Constitutional pro nouncements on taxaion, which would prevent liis petting enough cawh Inn ?wunces other than land or sales t.ix to carry on the business of the Statu, \nd to keep the schools open, ton fit 'less to im-n>ase .salaries. The people who have heretofore, when given the opportunity, by the General Assem bly to do so, refused to change the Constitution as to taxation policy, arc now, many of them climbing aboard Prof. McDonald's wagon, evidently eipeclting him to accomplish the im possible. Thcv could have changed the Constitution 3 but they wouldn't, hence, the forces in opposftoin to Doe 31a* arc arguing that, with the sales tax taken off, either one of three things would inevitably resolt, should the General Assembly follow his Iiae of reasoning: that the school appro priation would be materially reduc-d: the high taxes would go back on land; or the State would find itself unable to meet its obligations, and ftnanei.it chaos would relgr in Raleigh.
