|,ON(i KILLS SECURITY ACT
Tin: one-man filibuster of Senator
Huey Long in the closing hours of
tin- session of Congress ending last
v. vK prevented enactment of the ap
j r ;,iialion bill to put into effect the
Securities Act, including tne
; , ision for old age pensions and unemployment
insurance, so those and
other items will have to wait
the session of Congress early next
. for money to put them into efBy
the same token, the special
session of the North Carolina Geneva!
Assembly, which many considered
would be necessary before this
State could participate in the benefits,
will not be called by Governor
Ehringhaus, at least not until early
in the next year, if at all. Governor
Ehringhaus doesn't want a special
session, since the legislators could
tear up the work of the last session,
or do anything else they might
desire. He ha3 no control over them,
except to make his wishes known in
messages. The clamor for the special
session will now probably subside, at
least for a time.
NEED FOR SESSION WANES
A special session was considered
imperative for a time to straighten
out the State's liquor tangle whftfii
allows 17 counties to seli liquor and
get the profits. It was later thought
necessary to meet requirements of
the Social Securities Act. Some want
a special session to again take out
the exemptions in the sales tax. They
will cite that it now appears that collections
will be larger than expected
and the State can get along without
I he tax on foods. If a session should
be called and should provide a Statewide
liquor control system, and again
leave out the exempted items from
the sales tax, observers say it would
take two broad planks out of platforms
of two candidates for Governor,
Dr. Ralph McDonald, on the sales
tax, and A. H. (Sandy) Graham, on
the liquor control.
HANKS BEING LIQUIDATED
On the present schedule the State
Ranking Department, which is now
liquidating 81 State banks, will have
fiinshed the liquidation of all but 32
of these banks by the end of this
year and all but seven at the end of
next year. Commissioner Gurnev P.
Hood estimates. Last vear the de
partment had 71 buildings on its
hands for sale. At present all but
nine have been sold to create assets,
all to pretty good advantage, he reports.

slops Friday in his "land yacht." |
He hopes to make a nation-wide >
tour of the United States in thirty
days and on $100.
A drizzling rain was falling and
a crowd of curious gathered as
the Senator, accompanied by Col.
Leo M. Cadison, of Asheville, N. C.,
a friend, drove away in hi3 virtual
home on wheels, consisting ot a
coupe with trailer attached.
The trailer was equipped with all j
conveniences, including living quarters,
kitchen, shower and library
Hundreds of pounds of literature
boosting his State was taken along
for distribution along the way.
Reynolds, who expects to visit
350 cities in 35 states, Canada and
Mexico on the 9.000-mile tour, was
attired in a short-sleeved, brown
sport shirt and brown-striped trousers.
He plans to do most of the
driving with Colonel Cadison and
a chauffeur alternating in relief
roles.
Reynolds said the purpose of his
unusual Lour was three-fold.

turned up in St. Paul, Minn., as a
"society burglar," brought back, and

Court confirmed the death ,
sentence by a three-to-two vote. Later
four of the justices joined the
judge, solicitor and others in asking |

said it was. No more lemon pie until

War anywhere certainly touches
everybody somewhere.
FARMERS . . . sans character
For a hundred years and more the
oid Hubbard farm, up near Long
Pond, has supported, educated and
made good citizens out of generation
after generation of Hubbards. A few
years ago old Mr. Hubbard sold the
place. I drove by the other day and
saw an auction sale going on. The
new owners were being "sold up" to
satisfy their creditors, and the savI
ings bank had foreclosed the mortgage
on the land.
~<_iuess Ljiey just am" good farm
ers," said Mr. Hubbard, when 1
stopped by his cottage down the road
to ask him how come. T dropped in
at the bank. "No character," was the
banker's harsh judgment. "Thoughl
thev could make n livine- \v-itlion1
j working and spend money before thej
i earned it. Do you know any rea
farmer who'd like to get a good placi
eheap? There's a bargain for a mai
and wife with a character and a lit
tie capital. It's no place, though, fo:
movie-hounds, joyriders or peopl
that want short hours and long va
cations."
I have a notion that a lot of th
distress among farmers, that we hea
so much about, comes down to that.
FARMS . . . selling again
I get reports from the Middle Wcs
of a revival of activity in farm lam
sale3. Good farms in Nebraska hav
recently sold for from $100 to $15
an acre. One South Dakota farme
friend writes me that he was offere
$150 an acre for his quarter sectior
An Iowa farmer whom I know tell
we that he refused $60,000 cash fo
his 600 acres recently.
Those prices do not compare wit
the speculative prices at which sim
lar farm land changed hands in th
boom days. They probably represer
more nearly the actual value of th
land, in terms of earning capacity i
the hands of competent farmers.
A great deal of the farm distrei
has come from buying land at fane
or speculative prices.
SPECULATION ... Is speculation
I have never been able to see muc
difference between speculating
