* PAGE 6 f '\1 Today and Tomorrow IBjr Frank Parker Stockbrldge ? ^ GOVERNOR . Federal Reserve In picking Eugene Black of Atlanta for Governor of the Federal Reserve Board President Rocsevelt has followed the example of his last Democratic predecessor in selecting a man from the South to head up the nation's financial system. I am one of those who believe that the late W. P. G. Harding of Alabama was the best man who ever held the post to which Mr. Black has been appointed. ' Mr. Black was picked, I am told, mainly because he is entirely free from Wall Street influences. He has a bigger and more important task than any of his predecessors had, since it is on the cards, I believe, that the entire banking system of the nation will be taken into the Federal Reserve System, and the head of that system will exercise financial control even greater than that of the Governor of the Bank of England. Unlike many bankers, Mr. Black has a sense of humor. But his reputation for sound, homely common sense is the highest. ROCKEFELLERS . they move Times change and landmarks pass. The Rockefellers, father and son, are moving from the historic address "26 Broadway" to the new Rockefeller Center, five miles up town. For more than fifty years "26" has been the headquarters of the Standard Oil Company interests. Nobody knows how many millions have been made there, but probably enough to pay off our national debt, if the men who made it had kept it. The Rockefellers don't keep their money. They spend it largely in vast enterprises for the public welfare, education, health and the restoration of historic antiques. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is in the limelight just now because he objected to Communist propoganda being put into a mural painting by Diego de Rivera, the Mexican artist v.ho had been engaged to do some work in the Rockefeller Center. Some "Liberals" are making a great fuss, saying that Mr. Rockefeller is no judge of art. That may be true, but wouldn't he look foolish promoting Communism? GOLD since 1493 According to the United States Bureau of Mines all the gold that has been mined in the world since any kind of records have been kept and that is from 1493, the year after Columbus discovered America, down to date, amounts to a little over a thousand million ounces. At $20 an ounce that is worth twenty billion dollars, and mere than half of it is still in the form of money or gold bars held in banks as security for money. In the United States, since 1792, we have mined about 226 million ounces, worth above $4,600,000,000; and that, curiously enough, is just aoout the amount of monetary gold still in this country. i In the same 450 years of gold production the amount of silver mined in the world was a fraction more than fifteen thousand million ounces; and the ratio of silver to geld in the world's monetary system before silver was dropped by one country after another, was just about fifteen to one. Silver is coming back as money, but it is more likely to arrive at a ratio of about twenty or twentylive to one than the traditional "sixteen to one" of the old Populist days. POPULATION . needed growth The United States could support probably ten times the population we now have. It used to be all that nine-tenths of the population could do to produce food enough for the ten-tenths; now it takes the time and work of only a fifth, perhaps less, to feed everybody. Population in the United States is almcst standing still. Unless there is an unexpected upturn in the birth rate or we open our doors again to immigration from Europe, we shall find ourselves still less dependent on the producers of food. It looks to me as if fcod farming, on any important scale, will be a thing of the past in fifty or a hundred years from now. More people will be engaged in trying to make money out of growing food. They will get their cash from other forms of labor and of products of the land. LAND . . what it will earn' What is good farm land worth? An English friend told me not long ago that the best land in England, where the average production per acre cf all crops is much higher than in America, the markets are at the door, the growing season is longer and the climate generally more favorable, can be bought for $100 or less per acre, when it can be bought at all. With an experience of two thousand years behind them, English fanners are pretty likely to know what values are. I doubt whether any land in Warrenton, North Carolina America can earn interest on a very much higher valuation than that except in a very few highly favored spots and then only by intensive cultivation of high-priced perishable fruits and garden truck. One of the principal causes of much of the present trouble of the farmers is that they paid, or promi ised to pay, more for their land than it was worth, and their mortgages represent more than the actual value. Land, like anything else, is wcrth only what it will earn. Legislature Makes Several Changes In State Game Law The Legislature found game, fish and conservation laws a favorite subject and enacted more than two-score new laws on the subject. , Sport fishing was the subject 93 lowc nnri came regulations were changed in more than 20 acts. The commercial fishing industry and fishermen also were the object of some score or mere laws. Several efforts were made to materially change the set-up of the State Department of Conservation and development, which administers all game and fish laws, but only one major change was made. The offices of State game wardens and commissioner of inland fisheries were consolidated into one office to be filled by a man "of scientific training and experience in the propagation and preservation of fish and game" whose salary will not exceed $3,000 yearly. He will be named by the sonservation board. Game Commissions The major changes in the State game laws were embodied in one. new act. Under it a game commission is created in each county, to | be composed of the chairman of I the county board of commissioners the clerk cf the superior court, and | the county game warden. The commission will direct the expenditure of a graduated percentage of the hunting license receipts for the control of predatory birds and animals. New schedules for license fees will be: County resident, 60 cents; State resident, $2.10; State nonresident, $10.10. Former fees were: County, $1.25; State, $3.25, and non-resident, $15.25. For the purpose cf fixing open and closed seasons, the State was divided into three zones. The western zone includes all counties west of Alleghany, Ashe, Watauga, Av ery, Mitcnen, y ancey, duuuoiuuc and Henderson. The central district includes counties beginning at the western boundary and exending eastward to a line formed by Warren, Franklin, Wake, Chatham, Lee, Moore and Richmond counties. The eastern zone contains all counties east of the line. Open Seasons Open seasons for taking game birds and animals, except possum, coon, deer, buffalo, elk, squirrel and bear are: Western, November 15 to January 1; central, November 20 to February 20; eastern, November 20 to February 1. Open season for deer will be: Western and central, October 15 to December lo; eastern September 1 to December 15. Open season for squirrel will be Western, October 1 to November 30; central and eastern, October 1 to December 31. Open season for racoon and pcssum in all zones will be from November 1 to January 31. Open season on Dears will be: Western and central, October 1 to January 15, with bear hunting proHihit.prt in t.hp east until 1934. Local seasonal changes were made for Halifax, Northampton, Hertford, Person, Martin, Bertie and i Washington counties. No open seasons were listed for beaver, buffalo, elk, doe deer, pheasants and ruffled grouse. The 1931 law allowing creation of privately owned public hunting grounds was amended to allow establishment of such reservations on 1000 acres of land, instead of 3000 acres. Hunting Permission The new game laws make it unlawful for anyone to hunt with guns or dogs upon the lands of another without obtaining the owner's consent and such permission applies to only one open season. As the State law puts no regulations on fox hunting, local bills on tho snhiopt. mprp made law for several counties. The regulations vary greatly. Several special seasons for individual counties were called for in new laws, most of them being shorter than the State-wide seasons. Ashe county got a. special game commission empowered to control hunting and fishing regulations there. Bladen county got special seasons for quail, turkey, squirrels, rabbits, bear, foxes and deer. Uniform seasons for taking all forms cf game in Cumberland Transylvania, Harnett and Nash counties between November 20 an THE WA A Nation Pays Tribu . ; fr ~ MEMORIAliL I DAY... 1933 1^= February 20 were ordered and Ire- i dell county got a closed season on 1 pheasants until 1935. : In Catawba county the season ' for all game will be from Novem- '< ber 20 to February 1, but pheasants ' may not be hunted until 1935. A 1 special Hyde county law sets the 1 fee to hunt migratory wildfowl as ; $15.25 for non-residents of the State and $1.25 for North Caro- ; linians. Most of the local fishing laws provided exceptions from the state- i wide laws on fishing. < The two new State-wide laws ' would allow daily fishing permits 1 to non-residents of the State at ' 60 cents per day and would cut the fee for a permit for propogating | game fish from $25 to $5. One also . allows a commercial fisherman who i has taken out proper licenses for < this type of fishing to deal in live : fish for propagation. < The local acts range from adding new waters to those in which fish- > ing without license is allowed to i permission to seine in certain of the streams.
