THROUGH CAPITAL KEYHOLES BY BESS HINTON SILVER Game Refuge Threatened RilACON County stands in a fair way to lose the Wayah Game Refuge unless some means can be found to placate a number of farmers in the vi cinity who have complained that the deer which make the refuge their home are doing considerable damage to their crops. These farmers have our sympathy, for there is nothing so discouraging as to spend time and mon ey in producing a good patch of corn or potatoes only to have it destroyed; but we sincerely hope some happy arrangement can be made to preserve the deer from extinction and the game refuge from abolition. The State of North Carolina has spent a con siderable sum of money in developing the game ref uge, stocking it with fish, deer and other wildlife, and providing a warden for the property. The fact is, the state has spent far more in propagating game in this section than it has received in revenues from hunting and fishing licenses. As a result, game which was rapidly approaching extinction five or six years ago, now is becoming fairly plentiful. Macon county again can actually boast of fairly good deer-hunting and, if the people of the county will cooperate with the game law authorities, the number of deer should increase from year to year until hunting this fleet animal during limited seas ons should become a major sport. It is very pos sible for deer to become as plentiful in the Nanta hala region as in the Pisgah Forest, which attracts hundreds of hunters from all over the country dur ing the few days each year when the territory is opened. Some people believe that most of the damage done to crops in the neighborhood of the Wayah Refuge is caused by a herd of a dozen or so deer which were fed at the refuge for so long that they became tame. If this is true, perhaps the situation which has developed could be remedied by placing these animals in a large pen, where they would con tinue an attraction and a joy to nature-loving visit ors, or by removing them to another section of the county where wild food is sufficiently plentiful to keep the deer from being tempted to encroach up on farmers' fields. Another way to solve the problem would be for the injured farmers to fence their fields; but this would impose a burden on a few for the benefit of many. Most of the damage by the deer is done at night. Perhaps the game warden, with the assistance of a couple of good dogs, might succeed in untaming the pet herd of deer which is causing the trouble and driving them to a safer habitat in the fastness of the forest, beyond the range of angry croppers' guns. Officials of the State Department of Conserva tion and Development have been somewhat put out by the numerous complaints they have received from Macon County. They have even intimated that unless the people of this county have a suf ficient appreciation of the advantages of plentiful wildlife to cooperate in the department's efforts to propagate it, they might find it necessary to with draw their support of the Wayah Game Refuge. Which, we think most people will agree, would be little short of a calamity. This refuge is one of our most interesting attractions. If it is done away with, the county will suffer a direct financial loss in addition to a very probable decline in the quanti ty of game fish and birds as well as deer. t , Steps should be taken at once to protect the deer and the farmers, too. We want both to be contented and, as the good Book says, to "increase in number." ' NEW THREAT Information emanating from Washington, D. G, indicates the certain candidacy of Congressman Lindsay C. Warren, of Washington, N. C, in opposition to Senator Josiah W. Bailey in 1936. While Senator Bailey has gone to the aid of President Roosevelt in recent weeks in a spectacular manner, it is pointed out by Warren support ers that the primary of next spring "is just around the corner." Sena tor Bailey was said to have lost ground in his opposition to enact ment of the Agricultural Adjust ment Act, the Bankhead cotton control bill, the seed loan act, the St. Lawrence waterway act, the soldiers' bonus proposal, all except the last sponsored by President Roosevelt. RECORD Friends of Congressman Warren are pointing to his record on the foregoing, legislation and say that his action meets with approval of all parties concerned. Unless some thing unforeseen happens, it can now be safely said that Senator Bailey will face potent opposition next year and it's better than an even bet that Congressman War ren will provide a substantial part of that opposition. Warren is known as a liberal and enjoys the reputation of being close to Presi dent Roosevelt and Vice President John N. Garner. CHANGED MINDS Raleigh politicians are changing their minds about the intention of R. T. Fountain, former lieutenant governor, to run for the United States senate in opposition of Sena tor J. W. Bailey and all comers next year. Fountain is a frequent visitor to legislative halls and can be seen often talking seriously with men who supported him against Governor Ehringhaus in the pri maries of three years ago. The opinion is that his earnestness bears out his statement that he will run next spring, no matter which way the wind blows. PAROLES A small war, conducted mostly under cover, is being waged at the office of state parole commissioner. Some of the wise boys have been taking notes and avow that many attorneys who have been disap pointed in pleas for executive clem ency are in the ranks of the cam paigners against Edwin M. Gill, Parole Commissioner. Establish ment of a parole board of several members would only affect recom mendations, since the governor is the only man who can sign releases from prison in this state. TAXES Don't 'be too excited about the proposal to levy a three per cent income tax on dividends from stocks in domestic corporations. It may not be done. Many of the legislators who voted for the pro posal in committee did it simply to get the revenue bill out on the floor of the house. Privately, they have announced intention of fight ing this tax on the floor of house and senate. They call it double taxation but its proponents say it gets the folks who are really able to pay. YOUR MONEY It .now appears reasonably cer tain the general assembly is going to take $1,650,000 of your gasoline money and spend it here, there and everywhere. It will be done by levying the three per cent sales tax on the money collected from auto license tags land gasoline tax es. The people paid it for roads but that doesn't appear to cut much ice with the boys who like the di version idea. Now the counties are trying to get the state to return to them at once, money loaned for construction of roads faster than the highway program, called for. The raid on the highway fund isn't over in this general assembly by any means. INVESTIGATION The legislative probe into condi tions which caused the loss of both feet to two Negro convicts in a camp near Charlotte revealed, among other things, that the legis lature of 1933 appropriated an amount to the prison system that requires the employment of prison physicians at less than $50 per month. The doctor who has charge of the two camps involved in the probe testified that he received $75 per month before he was sus pended. Some folks say you can still expect to get the kind of penal system you are willing to pay for. HOEY Raleigh friends of Clyde R. Hoey, Shelby's potential candidate for governor next year, must know something. They say with confi dence and without qualification that Mr. Hoey will announce his candi dacy within a week or two. No body here doubts that Lieutenant Governor A H. Graham has made up his mind to take on all comers in the primary. Reports about in tentions of Congressman R. L. Doughtan, reported to have the gu bernatorial bee buzzing in his bon net, are less definite but his friends are leveling off the ground in the event he decides to chase the elus ive votes. SALES TAX Even opponents or the sales tax privately say they hold no hopes of repealing it at this session of the legislature. But they are dig ging away, hoping to lay a founda tion for its abolition at the next session, two years hence. Propos ed taxes on dividends, soft drinks, and higher levies on corporations are hailed by opponents of the sales tax a turn in the tide away from the retail levy.
