THE TARIFF VETO
(From Washington Past)
President Hoover’s veto message,
which accompanied the Democratic
tariff bill back to Congress, is one
of the most powerful documents
that have come from the White
House. With measured logic and
well chosen phrases he .riddles the
Democratic alibi tariff measure from
beginning to end. It must have
been a rare pleasure for the Presi
dent to sweep overboard the polit
ical claptrap that was written into
that bill.
The message brings out in bold
relief the befuddlement of the Dem
ocratic party on the tariff issue,
Democratrc leaders howl about the
“iniquities” of the Smoot-Hawley
bill, and then come forth with a
plan to destroy the flexible provis
ion whereby inequalities in the ex
isting law may be corrected. Just
after passing this blunder through
the House, the Democratic leaders
brought , out a tax bill containing
duties osi oil and coal. Senator Bark-
ley,"' the keynoter for the Democratic
national convention, is fighting to
retain the coal tariff in the Senate
revenue bill, while at the same time
preparing his address that must of
necessity attack the “vicious Repub
lican tariff”. The Democratic atti
tude tow'ard the tariff is shot
through with sham and pretense at
every angle.
ForemO't among the inconsisten
cies of the bill which Mr. Hoover
sent back to Congress are the pro
visions “to eliminate discriminatory
tariffs; prevent trade wars; and
promote fair, equal and friendly
trade”, and the provision “to nego
tiate with foreign governments re
ciprocal trade agreements under a
policy of mutual tariff concessions.”
One objective is wholly incompat
ible with the other. As pointed out
by President Hoover, tariff conce.s-
sions do not remove discrimination,
but are “the very breeding ground
for trade wars.” While pretending
to iron out international trade diffi
culties, this measure would, in re
ality, have committed the United
States to a policy of favoriti-m, in
trigue, and hostile bickering with
other nations.
American policy prescribes equal
treatment for all countries. Treaties
with 31 nations guarantee such
equal trade privileges. The Demo
cratic policy as set forth in this
bill could not be carried out with
out violating those treaties and in
volving the United States in endless
international trade rows. Fortunate
ly, the President’s veto, which w’as
sustained by the House, gives no
opportunity to measure the extent
to which American policy and sound
common sense were abandoned in
the passage of this bill.
From the beginning this measure
has been regarded ^s a political
gesture. If the Democrats expect to
go before the people and defend
'el.ch an outrageou.s surrender of
American ri.ehts, if they a,ttempt
to justify this schema to allow for
eigners to help' write the duties
which protect American industry,
agriculture and labor, voters wdll be
insulted at the Democratic estimate
of their intelligence. Never before
5n history has tariff protection been
so vital to the welfare of the
American people as it is today.
Never before has there been such
a clamor on the part of foreign im
porters for admittance of their
prodticts to the -American market.
A vote to permit foreign nations
to participate in the downward re
vision of the American tariff is
equivalent to a vote fob economic
-suicide.
Even the Democrats who are ac
customed to denouncing “Republican
tariff rates”, while fighting for
higher duties on products of their
home States, must realize now that
their party has indulged in another
colossal blunder. The House vote,
sustaining the veto, makes an end
of the Democratic tariff gesture,
hut it does not alter the reputation
which the Democratic majority in
that body has acquired for fanatical
and destructive legislation.

Simple Water System
Installed For $20.00
Mr. D. S, Weaver, Agricultural
Engineer, of the State Coliege, in
Raleigh, has offered his help to
Miss Everett flsrough the Erften-
sior) Service, in conducting some ide-
monstrations along the line of ppU
ting in simple water systems. While
the Home Agent was in Craven
■county he spent one day in one
farm community putting in a simple
water system. This can usually be'
done for around Twenty Dollars
($20.00). Any farm family desir
ous of haying this done who will
be willing to have a public demon
stration at their home to see the
installation and will invite his
neighbors, see Miss Everett at once.
If this work is needed in this coun
ty we will have to get our re
quests in early. One of the things
which is going to make our home
life more pleasant and more attrac
tive is securing running water for
the home and a great many people
do not realize that this can be done
for .such a small amount in so many
! cases. If there is a well near the
kitchen door it is a very simple,
easy thing to put a pump in the
kitchen. At this season of the year
when flies are beginning to be pre
valent there is nothing which draws
them into the house more than the
opening of the doors to get water
and the throwing of the slops
around the kitchen yard. It may be
posible to secure two or _thres
demonstrations for this county if
they are not in the same locality.
The type of meeting which we have
found most successful is the public
lecture explaining all of the differ
ent kinds and types of water sys
tems to the women who are inter-
e-ted and them go out and .see how
the water i.s put in. This would be
a good job for the high school boys
while they are home this summer.
If they learn the fitting of pipes
they can easily put in a simple
water sy.stem for you. Or it might
be that a couple of boys would like
to take training in this and a little
money through the summer in put
ting in these simple systems. Mr.
■Weaver doe.s not charge anything
for his serwicesi. He will install a
sink and pump, necessary piping
and drain and conect with your
well. This is usually done in the
morning so that when the people
come in the afternoon the water
can be turned on. Sometimes an all
day meeting is held and the people
brin.g their lunch. Prices of mater
ials are .so low now the pitcher
pump can be secured for $2.75 and
up, the force pump for $6.25 and
up, and sinks for $2.00 and up. I
should like to have Johnston coun
ty take advantage of this oppor
tunity *if possible. I believe that
running water in the kitchen should
be the first step in home conven
ience. I believe it should come be
fore any other conveniences. Kind-
l.V let me know if you are interest
ed so some demonstrations can be
arranged in Johnston County.

Candidates and campaign workers
j of Wake County Monday began the
i final lap of the drive for vote.Si in
j the June 'primary and a heavy reg-
I istration in the city revealed plenty
j of activity on the part of politicians
and their cohorts,
I The campaign has only two more
weeks to run before the faces of
tandidates show either pleasure or
disappointment.
Registration of voters in Raleigh
is represented by campaign workers
as .a move to get the names of eli
gible voters on the books'and to
assist them to taking part ^ in the
selection of their candidates. The
registration in the city is not a.s.
heavy: a- last year during the mu
nicipal campaign when the so-called
“outs” at that time turned every
stone to defeat the old administra
tion.
Practically all the new names on
the county books represent the
heavy registration on the city books
and this large number includes Ne
groes in all .sections of Raleigh.
Friends of all the candidates have
registered Negroes, remarked one of
the House of Representative candi
dates Monday.
It was charged that city employes
have been unduly active in register
ing- voters, and several laborers
were “laid off” last week without
pay to do a little political work.
One worker for a candidate oppos
ing Sheriff Numa Turner recently
tried to speak at a Negro educa
tional meeting and was politely
barred from making his talk, ac
cording to campaign workers, while
two Negroes were given tickets for
free gasoline to re,gister their
friend.s.

Goldsboro, May 24.—E. A. Pate,
57, well to do farmer of Stoney
Creek township, died today of
■‘sleeping sickness,” a disease with
which he had been afflicted foi'
about 12 year.s. When he was about
45 years old he became ill and the
doctors diagnosed the case as
“sleeping .sickness.” He sat about
the house sleeping all day and had
to be aroused for each meal. After
eating he would go to sleep again.
Today when a member of the fam
ily went to call him to dinner he
was found dead.

cannot divert the attention of the
voters from the real issues of the
campaign, old observers say, . and
those seeking office must satisfy the
public there are ample rea.-ons.
More than 4,000 names have been
added to the books, but it is hard
to determine how many are new
ones and merely old voters who
have moved from one precinct to
another the past two years.
The heaviest registration was in
No. 7 and No. 8 where approximate
ly 1,066 new names were added to
the books. No. 7 now has 2,110
names, with 533 new ones including
only eight Negroes. No. 16, located
in the southeastern section of the
city, has 1,350 names and the ma
jority are Negroes.
Nearly a thousand new names
were placed on the books in the
West Raleigh, Cameron Park and
Hayes-Barton precincts, but only a
few Negroes were registered.
