The School Bond Issue Again * During the past several months we have written a number of editorials giv ing our views on the proposed school bond election, and endeavoring to point out why the citizens of Jackson county can not afford to do less than vote in favor of the bond issue in the July 3rd bond election. We again want to urge our fellow citi zens to support the bond issue by voting in favor of it and by urging friends and neighbors to do the same. We realize as well as you that to go in debt that there will be a pay day sooner or later, that the taxpayers *vill have to foot the bill. We, like you, also realize that our county school situation is a des perate one, a very gloomy one in fact. You know and we know that some relief must be had if our children are to have anything like the educational advantages that children have in other parts of West ern North Carolina. The only way that Jackson County can ever have this much needed relief lor our schools is through the issuance of bonds. We cannot afford to raise the money need etdo do this work by direct taxation, but that is just what we are likely to have to do if the bond election fails. Our county officials will probably be directed by the courts to do this. We are very much averse to any kind of increased taxation, but when the meth od proposed is much the lesser of two evils then We are for the bond issue. In making application to the bonding -company for the proposed $450,000 the board of education had to name certain specific schools which this money be used for. This does not mean, however, that only these school will benefit from the bond money. Since both candidates for Governor have announced as being in favor of State aid for county school buildings and practically all the recently nominated representatives and senators have done likewise, it is almost a fore gone conclusion that the next General Assembly will provide up to fifty per cent of the cost of buildings. In other words if Jackson county puts up $450,000 then the State would match it with an other $450,000 giving the county $900,000 which would enable the board of educa tion to carry out their proposed county wide school building and remodeling program. If the bond issue fails then, and in that event, the county of Jackson could not benefit from any State aid as she would have no funds with which to match the State's fifty per cent. This is why the citizens of Jackson County must not fail their children and the children of future generations by providing better schools through voting for .the school bond issue. We again urge you to go to the polls July 3 and vote yes on your ballot. Heard Over the Coffee Cups?"And I told them of the proposed expenditure of seventeen billion dollars and as I spoke I remembered that in my purse at that moment rested not one red cent."? Greenville (Miss.) Delta Democrat Times. INSIDE WASHINGTON WASHINGTON ? The "new" Army offers career officers the brightest pros pects in United States military history and this point is being stressed by the men seeking to build the service to for midable peacetime strength. In the post-war officer integration pro gram 11,322 wartime officers, 60 per cent of whom started as enlisted men, were given permanent regular Army commis sions. The Army still has 9,000 vacancies for regular commissions and plans to fill these over a 10-year period. This, plus the vacancies created by normal attri tion, will permit 1,800 appointments a year. | Instead of the "West Point or else" policy which prevailed before the war, the Army now is able to offer commissions to enlisted men, reservists, national guardsmen and graduates of civilian col leges. Moreover, the increase in pay for which Army officials long have been plugging is due for favorable congressional action. "ABLE" CAIN ? Senator Harry P. Cain (R), Washington, is the man prin cipally responsible for the new rent con trol bill, and its "break" for tenants. Cain, alone, withstood a last-minute at tempt to weaken the 1948 rent law by giving stronger powers to the 660 local rent advisory boards which in many sec tions are admittedly pro-landlord. The youngish Washington senator bat tled single-handed against House con ferees who were determined to write local autonomy on rent boosts arid de control actions into the law. Can, after a bitter, two-and-one-half hour night session with the House mem bers on the conference committee, suc ceeded in winning them over to the com promise arrangement under which the United States emergency court of appeals is the final authority on area-wide rent actions. Even the housing expediter admits that Cain did a good job. j ANTI-JIM CROW ISSUE ? As the Senate gets to its much-heralded show down on President Truman's civil rights program, trouble centers around the fact that the handling of homicide cases is in the province of the states, and some think it will be hard to establish, to the satisfac tion of the Supreme Court, that a lynch ing is substantially different from any other homiide. Senator James O. Eastland (D), Mis sissippi, leading the committee fight for the southern bloc, reportedly has won some unexpected reinforcements as a re sult of the constitutionality squabble. Anti-poll tax legislation is out of the rules committee and ready for action. However, a growing log-jam, plus the GOP disinclination to tackle the matter first may combine to shelve the civil rights fight for this session. WASHINGTON CO-OPERATION ? The Republican Congress and Democra tic administration are co-operating re^ markably when it is considered that a presidential election is approaching in which there is a good chance thaf a Re publican will take the White House.* In such a situation, it' is only natural that the party controlling Congress would be loath to approve administration re quests when the "outs" may well be in to write their own ticket within a few months. Look at the striking example of co-op eration, however, evidenced in rushing through foreign aid legislation. Also Congress is expected to approve a short extension of the terms of atomic' energy commission members, and prob-; ably would endorse a presidential state-! ment on military aid for the European j western union. CLAM DEVELOPMENT ? Congress hit a new high in investigations when the Senate passed a bill authorizing the fish and wildlife service of the Interior de-| pariment to investigate the soft shell clam industry. More than one senator,! including Senators Homer E. Capehart! (R), Indiana, and Henry C. Lodge (R),: Massachusetts, were confused as to the; purpose of the bill. j Lodge said the idea was very "appeal ing" while Capehart asked his New Eng land collegue, Senator Theodore F. Green (D), Rhode Island, to enlighten the Sen-' ate about the measure. Green disclosed that there was no skullduggery that merited a Senate probe; merely that the investigation would at tempt to find ways "to develop the clam industry to a greater extent."
