VIEWS IN LETTER
David L. Hiatt Writes
To Members of State
General Assembly
COUNTY CHAIRMAN
In a letter to members of the Gen
eral Assembly from Surry county,
David L. Hiatt, chairman of the Sur
ry county Republican executive com
mittee urges in behalf of 4,000 Re
publican voters that they take cer
tain stands on pending legislation.
The legislators, Senator Fred Fol
ger and Representative Henry Dob
son, are asked to oppose repeal of the
Turlington act and to oppose enact
ment of the Hill liquor control bill.
The attention of the solons is called
to the "unmistakable mandate of
Surry county citizens in the election
held for the repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment."
The letter says, "It must be ad
mitted that the absentee voting pro
vision of our law extends invitations
to evil doing. Why retain the ab
sentee voting provision? I take it
that it would not be seriously ques
tioned but that the number of duly
qualified voters of the one party
compared to the total registration of
such party would be virtually the
same as the ratio in the other par
ty. If this be true the absentee bal
lots would never determine an elec
tion. Why then permit and sanc
tion such voting and justly bring
upon our state and many of her
citizens, Democrats and Republicans,
the righteous indignation of our
people? In the name of justice,
honesty, and fair play and on be
half of our neighbors, I respectfully
ask that you use your undivided ef
fort for the state-wide repeal of the
absentee" voting provision of our
election laws, thus eliminating an
ever-present opportunity for evil
doing . .
In another paragraph the Surry
county man calls attention to the
need for higher pay for teachers in
the state saying, "when the teach
ers' salaries are compared with the
pay of the unskilled highway la
borers of this state it is a disgrace
to us and a challenge to our intel
ligence in the administration of our
political affairs. May I suggest to
you, your unqualified support of a
measure which will right this wrong
and provide equitable compensation
for the teachers of our children, the
citizens and leaders of tomorrow."
Mr. Hiatt states his opposition to
the sale tax. "We all agree that
taxation is a very complex problem."
he states, "especially when such
enormous sums are to be provided.
However, I feel that we should ad
here very closely to the fundamental
principle of taxation, that is, that
they should pay who are able to pay.
Of course, we concede that a rea
sonable tax which will fall upon all
our people will tend to make better
citizens. However, a very large per
centage of our citizens are scarcely
able to eke out an existence, to say
nothing about paying tribute to the
government. Those of our numbers
who have great wealth exact more
at the hands of the state and they
should be required to pay for this
protection, in life, liberty and prop
erty. I would oppose a sales tax in
any form, but if there be no alter
native other than a sales tax, then
certainly, the absolute necessities of
life should be exempt. I think that
no food should be taxed, but that
foods of all kind when purchased
should be exempt. The giant cor
porations in our state have grown
to such proportions by reason of the
thrift and industry of the average
farmer and the common, unskilled
laborer. Why should not they bear
a considerable part of the tax bur
den? We at home confidently ex
pect you to properly represent us in
the solution of this and other mo
mentous problems."

SALT WATER WILL
REMOVE RAT ODOR
Also Increases Palata
bility of Corn, Ex
pert Says
The objectionable rat odor fre
quently found on ear corn at this
time of year can be removed by
soaking the ears in salt water.
Salt water also increases the
palatability of both the grain and
the cob, says B. H. Ruffner, profes
sor of animal husbandry and dairy
ing at State College.
Cobs which have been soaked in
water will not harm the animals
Ruffner says, but will supply rough
age and nourishment. Cobs have
approximately the same nutritive
value as timothy hay.
Much of the corn saved for seed
is run over by rats and mice while
in storage, he adds, and by the time
spring arrives the corn smells so
strongly of rats t.bat work stock do
not like to eat it.
Ruffner also points out that the
customary way of feeding corn on
the cob is best, since it is safer than
feeding shelled corn and there is
less likelihood of waste.
A soaking solution can be made
by putting in one teaspoonful of
salt for each gallon of water, he
says. Corn placed in soak at one
feeding time will be ready for use
at the next.
Since all animals need a certain
amount of salt in thpir diet, he con
tinues, the salt absorbed by the corn
and cobs will have a beneficial ef
fect on the stock.

Miss Edith Neaves was at the

During the business meeting of
the club, it was agreed to defray a
portion of the expense for an arti
ficial leg for a boy in a case where
the parents are unable to do so.
The state and county will meet the
remaining portion of expense, it is
understood.
