UNITED STATESVNATOR
******
The first session of the Seventy
fifth Congress is now a matter of
history. During the next few weeks
there will be many reviews of the
legislation enacted and its effect on
the daily life of cur people. Econo
mists will figure new laws in the
light of the cost to business and
industry. Emphasis will be laid on
total appropriations as compared
with Federal income. And organiza
tions and groups will begin to
form their lines to press for more
legislation when the Congress again
convenes in January.
Few will contend that, from the
standpoint of new legislative ac
complishments, the session just end
ed was worthy of great sifinificancc.
But it can be stated accurately
that the session was adjusted to
the needs of s our people, with the
exception of the failure to enact
farm legislation, which is the first,
order of business for the next ses
sion.
It can also be said that the Con
gress met at a crucial time in na
tional affairs. Our people had hard
ly absorbed the great mass of new
laws enacted during the period of
the depression. Recovery was on
the way and is gaining daily. Thus
it was for the best interest of the
country that the Congress adopt
the trial and error method of con
sidering legislation. This was done
and it has helped lay the founda
tion for the things that contribute
much to the permanent stability of
the country.
Adjournment found virtually all
members of Congress in agreement
that, farm legislation Is needed. And
the failure of Congress to put
through quickly some law of a tem
porary character will work out for
the best interest of the farm popula
tion. It means that members will
come bock with & fresh view of
farm needs, with talks with "dirt"
farmers clearly in their minds, and
with first-hand information on the
actual condition of the f§rm.
Members of Congress are In agree
ment that the President's insistence
that farm, legislation be taken up as
the first thing in January is assur
ance to the farm population that
the condition of agriculture is of ex
treme importance to the Administra
tion. There is every reason to be
lieve that this'will meet the demands
of farm spokesmen.
One of the most hopeful signs on
the horizon for the taxpayers of
the country is the keen interest be
ing shown in an effort to simplify
the national tax structure. Much
"behind the scenes" work has been
done by Congressional committees
and by the Treasury. There is grow
ing belief that our present system
of levying taxes is overburdened
with inequities and taxes that are
not justified by the revenue pro
duced. There is also reason to be
lieve that tobacco prices are great
ly affected by the duplicate taxes
imposed by the Federal and state
governments. Some contend that tho
Federal Government collects unusu
ally heavy taxes on the one hand
and then attempts to aid the farmer
on the other. Therefore, if new tax
legislation comes at the next session
there will be a strong fight for a
complete overhauling of tho whole
tax structure. It undoubtedly
mean much to taxpayers, whether
corporations or individuals.
PRESENT REGAN FOR
NAT. COUNCILMAN
W. S. Wilkinson addressed the
Rocky Mount chapter of the Amer
ican Institute of Banking at its an
nual organization dinner meeting
here this week, ad F. P. Spruill de
livered a welcome to out of town
guests.
J. C. Braswell presented a resolu
tion endorsing J. A. Reagan, cashier
of the Peoples bank, as a candidate
for national councilman.
Educational courses to be offered
by the chapter, were announced:
Wiley W. Mears will instruct a
course in bank administration and
Jack Murchison will instruct a
course on negotiable instruments. M.
F. Jones urged all members to enroll
for the courses.
LIFE EXPECTANCY
IS NOW #0 YEARS
According to statistics just releas
ed by one of the large insurance
companies of the country, people are
living longer than ever before. The
figures show tluvr in 1930 the expecta
tion of life at birth reached the all
time high record of 60.31 years and
marked another advance in 25 years
of steady mortality improvement.
Tobacco Market Opens With
Large Sales
Good News For Rocky Mount
At the last meeting of the Board of Aldermen there was
placed in the City Budget an item in the sum of $22,000 to
be expended for acquiring park sites and playgrounds fdr
the City of Rocky Mount.
Rocky Mount has been sadly behind in its development
of parks and playgrounds and we would like to commend
the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen for this great for
ward step in placing this substantial sum of $22,000 in the
budget to be used for acquiring park sites. These parks
and playgrounds will be used by all of our people and Rocky
Mount will never experience an expenditure that will give
more profit to the people for a like amount than this sum
properly expended.
The Mayor in his address to the people upon taking oath
of office advocated more parks for the City and the Junior
Chamber of Commerce has given its support to the project.
It looks like we are indeed making headway in Rocky Mount
on a project that will prove beneficial to everybody. Rocky
Mount has had large sums of money spent on other proj
ects, many times greater than herein mentioned, but this
sum will produce vastly greater benefits to the public than
any former sum. We have seen for many years back, the
serious need of this proposed development.
MARKET OPEN IN ROCKY MOUNT
We attended the opening of the Tobacco Market this
morning. There was a large quantity of tobacco on the
floors, and Rocky Mount was honored with the presence
'of citizens from fifteen or twenty counties. Streets were
lined on all sides with automobiles from the depot to Tobac
co Town. While most of the offerings were of the early
curings, yet the quality of the tobacco seemed to be good.
At the time of the writing of this article, we have not
heard what the general average will be for today, but the
prices seemed to be running good. Rocky Mount conducts
four sales which assures the tobacco farmers an early sale
and generally a first sale when they bring their tobacco fro
Rocky Mount.
OLD AGE PENSIONS
We have heard many criticisms of the manner in which
the Old Age Pension Law is being put into effect through
out the State. The aged people in the last campaign were
led to believe and given hope that they would receive some
thing in the neighborhood of $30.00 per month. From this
fund, the United States Government was to put up half and
the State the other half, but from the way this fund
is being administered in North Carolina, we doubt
whether the average will be SIO.OO. Some few will get
more and many will get less.
We know of a case which we have mentioned in this pa
per before, which comes directly to our knowledge. The
old man is eighty-four, sick, requiring constant care of
somebody to nurse him and wait on him, yet his allowance
has only been SIO.OO. He is without children, without a
wife, without property and his days cannot be long. In
North Carolina, the part that the State was to put up to
match the Governments half, has been divided between the
State and the County. This pension law should not be ad
ministered solely to take care of the indigent of the
county. It should be administered so as to give relief
to our old people that the President of the United
States intended when the law was passed. Of course, we
would not advocate giving it to the old people who are
able to provide themselves with comfortable necessities.
KINSTON GREEKS
IN SAD PLIGHT
Couple's Small Daughter Barred
From United States By Immi
gration Law
Kinston, Aug. 25.—Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Tambacos were in a sad
plight today and friends of the cou
ple said they would appeal to offi
cials at Washington to aid them.
Tambacos has lived here for years.
Several years ago he went to Greece,
his native land, for a visit. When
he returned he brought a bride. He
had married a widow in the old coun
try.
They left behind the woman's
small daughter, now 10 years of
age. They were informed the immi
gration authorities at New York
wouljl not permit them to bring her
into the country. The child re
mained with poverty stricken rela
tives in Greece. Tambacos promis
ing to send for her when he was
assured she would be permitted to
land.
More than two years have elapsed
since he returned, accompanied by
his wife. The child remains over
seas. The immigration authorities
have not consented for her to join
her mother and stepfather.
Tambacos is a partner in a res
turant business. "1 am well able
to provide for the child," he said.
"She grieves for her mother. We
hav e had many letters from her.
My wife ig in tears for days at a
time. The last letter indicated the
girl had missed many meals be
cause the people with whom she ig
staying ar e unable to secure food
at times. I am anxious to bring her
here and make an American of her.
I am an American citizen. I cannot
understand the regulations whicu
permitted me to bring in my wife
but would not let me bring in my
stepdaughter."
