LITHOGRAPHERS, ENGRAVERS EXPENSIVE SNOOPING Alive t ' the ever inciva ing centralization of governmental power in Washington. Congressman Louis Ludlow of Indiana has introduced a bill calling for a commission to study and report on this usurpation of the rights of the -tates. i: is his iew that this c< ntra t - n of pow er in < artn ent t ureaus and ndi t es tablish .nu :.ts at the national capitol is contrary to the s.orit . f the founders of the Republic, and tend- to place too much authority in the hands of Federal • f fit-mis. This has resulted in the harassment < the {■..bib • y an army i,f expensive bureaucrats, such as the F i Tra . ( ommission, v ho try to pres.rib : regulations for every conceiv able pin less and di\id ... >t Cit::1 ... - inspected and bedeviled gener ally, vhc .i.- r they have violated any law or not. upon : 1 re su -picion of ;orai ffici -h Id inti parasite that possibly .-omething is wrong with them. The : result is more bills for the taxpay er-, ,‘r. adatti ,n to the annoyance caused by the pernicious activities of a horde of spies and ■snoopers. At the ,-ame time, really serious crimes aganist so.:e*y go largely unpunished. The situation is becoming well nigh intoler able. and if Mr. Ludlow can do anything to curb these evils he will deserve the gratitude of a long, suffering public. However, as all these bureau cratic activities are the direct result of legisla tion by Congress, it may be too much to hope that -anything will be done to check them. It appears to be the business of Congress to continually create new government jobs— nev er do away with one. HOLIDAY ACCIDENTS One chil I was killed and several persons in jured in various ways during the Fourth of July holidays here. Almost 400 persons died from ac cidents in the Nation in the three days. Automobiles lead the list as the reason for the unnatural deaths. It is a fact that the num ber of deaths on holidays -uch as the Fourth is steadily increasing each year. When the holiday arrives, millions of people go places to .ee things. Most of them now travel by motor. A few years ago, buggy and hay rides of a few miles would suffice. Today no one thinks seriously of a trio of from one to three hundred miles in a day. There is no reason to blame the serious situ ation upon the automobile. It is futile to rave at a. seif evident fact. They are here to stay and in increasing number-. The only partial solution is in the matter of traffic regulation. The time is not far distant when all main highways must be made two way wit.n one v.v.v travel in each direction. A great majority of auto accidents come from cars try ing to pa-s each other on crowded or narrow Less tra- elecl highway, must be made wider. In their be-ire to build many miles of highway, States have slumped on the width of roads, a fa tal mistake. There is r.o such thing as the prohi bition of traffic accidents but the number can be appreciably curtailed by the building of highways suitat it- f r ; resent and future use. HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT ECONOMY One year before the Weldon bridge will In opened for traffic, the markers on the road from Pleasant Hill to Weldon via Garysburg an changed :o Rout. 40 and 17-1, this latter thi Federal marking. We presume the reason which will be givei for changing the highway numbers at this tinu is because it will not be many months until our bridge will be closed temporarily during th erec tion of the new bridge. It still remain- a secret why we lost Route -fO and the Federal highway. Representatives from the Highway Department either profess ignor ance or "pass the buck." Of course, eventually the facts will come forth. We know this, however. It was done without the knowledge or consent of the thousands of people who live v the old Route 40. The State Highway Department will stand indicted until it offers a satisfactory explanation to our citizens. N'ot only have we been refused a new bridge at a new site :-- eliminate the small bridges and fills, not only ha we lost Route 40 and 17-1. but the State wgive u.- no relief on the highway from the m. . i to the river, that miserable stretch of macadam which bears more traffic than an;. i .<1 of similar length in the entire ' State.

The ghority was nut. h.'-.vever. official and those in close touch I wit;: .- tone ami \\ -. 1 ster have heard m -thing about work I -ginmvg i-r. any certain date. When that time comes, we will probably know nothing about it until the day it-elf. It does not pay to build false hopes but we are consoled with the fact that all the Power Company officials are certain that it is just a matter of time. It has also been rumored that the reason for the delay in building the dam was due to techni calities raised by certain State departments. We do know the fact- in the ease, but it would be •ather ironic if they were true and the State was responsible for delay when times are so difficult and business generally so poor. If ever there was a time to wave aside petty technicalities in order to push forward work which would give employ ment to hundred- of unemployed, that time is here. The general public does not seem to know it, but about 50 per cent of the news printed in the average small town paper 1s sent in by persons in terested. Large city daily papers only get a small percentage of their news from reporters, altho they employ' large -taffs for this purpose. The bulk of their news, except local, is furnished by news syndicates. Whenever anything happens of general inter- st to you or yours, the best policy is to see that the proper facts are sent in to your local paper by the one who knows the most about it: yourself. Sometimes we wonder about the value of thi democra ic form of government w- are so proud of. It was a pitifully small group of mm who attended the County convention at Halifax recently when the leaders were chosen for the coming year. It is a miserably small percentage of voters who cast their ballots on election days. Hh:le it is too early to tell how much the building of the new Nurses Home v ill benefit our towns during the construction work, there are nov. : wenty laborers employed in excavation work. Hi are Negro workmen, -1 are white. There may .. one or two local workmen in the crowd. Presumably about twenty more men will be need ed when the actual building gets under way. It is oss understanding that local men are to be giv en preference, that this was the agreement when the contract was let. In justice to our people, we prefer seeing more white men and more local men given work on this job. If it were a private dwell, ing or institution, we could not make such a state ment. But this is a community enterprise, And i also, the contractor has committed himself on the I proposition.
