Protection and High Wages and Jobs
Have Separated
"Mr. Hoover's defense of the
Hawley-Smoot tariff in his
Cleveland speech is contrasted
with his utterances in 1928 by
the New York Times, which
points out that his present atti
tude is an "absolute misfit".
The Times says:
"Mr. Hoover's unwinking de
fense of the protective tariff in
vites a strong factual attack in
return. If it is the indispensa
ble, the heaven-born wonder
worker that its devotees wor
ship, why has it not done, why
is it not doing now, its magic?
What did Mr. Hoover say in
1928? Extracts from his speech
es in that year continually re
turn to plague him. Here is a
sample:
" 'We have increased produc
tion 30 percent while our popu
lation has increased about 10
percent. This is proof of real
progress. It is the road to abo
lition of poverty. We have led
the world in substituting ma
chines for hand labor. This en
ables us to produce goods in ex
cess of our needs. To insure
continuous employment w e
must find a profitable market
for these surpluses. We must
sell more products abroad if we
would hare steady and assured
employment for labor in our in
dustries.'
"Now under the Republican
policies of the last three years,
what has become of that abso
lutely indispensable jj^eign
trade? It has been cut in half.
This is the main reason why
the old patter about protection
giving high wages to the
American workingman and as
suring him of a job arouses this
year only cynioal laughter or
bitter resentment. The new
and painful facts, visible on
on every hand, are absolutely
deadly t o the old theory.
While the Commissioner of Cus
toms at Washington is dilating
on the horrors of importing
cheap pocketknives from Ger
many or Japan, the farmers
and manufacturers o f the
country are asked to forget the
danger of losing their outlet
for surplus production in those
and other foreign countries.
This part ot the Cleveland
speech seems an absolme
misfit."
According to the Literary Di
gest's report in this week's is
sue, there is no change in the
states showing a majority of
the straw vote poll. The same
states, seven of them, show up
for Mr. Hoover as they did last
week, which would give him 57
of the necessary 366 for an elec
tion. While Gov. Roosevelt is
running ahead in New York,
the vote is not so decisive as in
the other Roosevelt states. If
perchance he should loose New
York's 47, Mr. Hoover would
?have to gather up 262 from
other states to place him in the
lead. That would be little short
of a miracle, and Mr. Hoover
is no miracle man.
A few Democrats, according
to the Literary Digest's poll,
will vote for Mr. Hoover, but
the number isjnegligible as com
pared with the number of Re
publicans who have signified
they frill vote for Roosevelt.
The national campaign is
now at its peak. The Big Ber
thas have unlimbered and are
firing from vautageous points.
Republicans Propose to Reduce Costs
of County Government.
A folder is being circulated
by the Republicans of Alamance
county, giving the names and
pictures of their candidates for
county offices, and how they
propose to che pen or reduce
the cost of county govei nment. ,
A schedule of reduction in
salaries and the elimination of
certain offices is given by which
it is proposed to save $10,850.00
per year. That is an attractive
proposition to the taxpayer, but
they did not do that during the
two years they were in for twe
years preceding the present
Democratic administration. On
the contrary, they spent more
money than their predecessors
and successors, both of whom
[ were Democrats. Have they
(the Republicans) not been
weighed in the balances and
found wanting?
J ust here \ > ur attention is
called to a statement bv the
county Democratic Chairman,
H. J. Rhodes, published else
where. The figures therein
have been carefully compiled |
from the records and speak for
themselves as to comparing the
cost of running the county gov
ernmt it under Democratic rule
and under Republican rule.
Comparisons are said to be
j odious, but they often furnish
the only means of arriving at
proper conclusions.
That the cost of county gov
ernm nt is too high under
present economic conditions is
not a debatable question, but
the experience of the past six
years does not favor the Repub
licans for the accomplishment
of what is needed.
xt-.a: i ~a
i>aiiuuai auuiiuiabirtiiuuioau
ere are telling the people that
it would be a uangerous thing
now to change, seeing that
there is a prospect of business
improving. But the depression
has been on for more than three
full years, and the people do
not seem to think a change
could make things worse and
they are willi. g to take the
risk. And thi.'e seems to be
every evidence that a change
is going to be made. A new
leader often inspires hope and
determination and wrests vic
tory from defeat.
The power companies are try
ing to convince the Corporation
Commission that they are oper
ating and serving the public on
the narrowest margin possible.
But experts have gathered data
from many other sections of the
! country which show that
[ charges in this Stale are far in
excess of the average, and these
I have impressed the Commission
that there should be a change
in rates. It is a fact that, dur
ing the depressun, the j>ower
companies have maintained the
prices charged in flush times.
Senator Bronson Cutting,
j Progressive Republican of New
Mexico, in a speech at Denver,
Colorado, said yesterday as
"betw an demonstrated inca
pacity and justified hope" he
was going to vote for Governor
Roosevelt. Perhaps a million
Republicans or more are taking
the same view of the situation
and will vote the same way.
Norman Thomas, the Social
ist candidate for president, pas
sed through the county last
j Saturday evening. He spoke at
Burlington during a short stop
there. A couple hundred heard
him. He promised better things
by a new order of things and
rasped the old larties. Accord
ing to reports, the Socialist will
poll more than two million
I votes in the coming election.
Democrats Spend Less Money Than Republicans In
^ County Government.
The Republicans have recently distributed a pamphlet in which
they promise to reduce expenses. They promised that in 1028. Did
they do it? But here is what they did:
Take the total cost of identical officers and employees listed on
the Republican promise - pamphlet, which includes the officers and
employees other than those connected with the schools and roads,
the records show:
Democrats 19*26-1928, $53,523.57
Republican 1928-1930, 62,350.15
Elected in 19*28 on promise to decrease expeuse?
Republioans increase, $8,826 58
The Democrats were elected in 1930 on Btrict economy program.
Did they give it to us? Hero is what they did:
Take the total cost of same items mentioued on said Repub'.icau
promisi -pamphlet and here is what the records show:
Republicans 1928-1930, $62,350.15
Democrats 1930-1932, 49,867.70
Reduction by Democrats, * 12,482.45
Compare the cost of all departments of county government fcr
fiscal year 1930-31, a year in which the same identical work was car
ned on by Republicans the first five months of said year and by
Democrats the last seven months of said year, when the county bad
charge of the roads. The records show:
Republican expenses per mouth, $21,032.44
Democrat expeuses per month, 12,379.90
Saving each month by Democrats, 8,652 54
Total savings by Democrats first seveu months ^office, $60,567.78
Some concrete examples of differences in salaries and allowances
which made possible the reduction made by the Democrats:
Democrats paid Sheriff per year, $3,000.00
Republicans paid Sheriff per year, 3,600.00
Democrats paid janitor per month, 65.00
Republicans paid janitor per month, 142.50
Democrats paid Auditors for two years, 3,389.16
Republicans paid Auditors for two years, 10,287.02
Democrats operate County Manager and Couuty Accountant's office
for $670.00 per year less than Republicans.
Compare records in decreasing county debt:
Democrats during two years from 1930 to 1932
decreased county debt, $153,825.00
Republicans during two years lrom 1928 to
1930 decreased county debt only, 70,107.74
Difference in reduction of county debt in
favor of Democrats, 83,717.26
The Republicans, having little or no knowledge of the work re
quired in the various departments of county government, nlake
promises which they are not in position to know cau be carrie.t'out.
The Deuocrats, some of whose candidates have first-hand informa
tion of the work required in these departments and some of whom
are new men, promise strict ecouomy and point to the comparison of
the record of each party-when in office as evidence of what can be
expected of them.
The facts and figures set out in the foregoing statement have been
compiled by Leo Carr, County Attorney, from information furnished
him by John Eck, County Auditor, aud F. L. WilliamsoD, County
Accountant, and these gentlemen have stated that said figures are
true and correct as shown by the books of the County.
Respectfully submitted,
11. J. IJHODES, Chairman Democratic
Executive Committee of Alamance County.
GOV. ROOSEVELT AT RALEIGH
On Tuesday of last week
Gov. Roosevelt started on a
campaigning tour, going by
Pittsburgh and as far South as
Atlanta. Returning, his train
made a 15 minutes stop at the
Fair Grounds at Raleigh at 10
o'clock Tuesday morning.
When his train arrived there
was a crowd estimated at 12,
000 to 15,000 to greet him. He
spoke from the rear platform
of the train. He spoke pleas
antly and the crowd was glad
to see and heer him. He is
hopeful that times will improve
after the 4th of next March.
We had the pleasure of see
ing and hearing him. Ala
mance had quite a good delega
t;on present.
Mr. Hoover, it appears, has
become thoroughly aroused. He
has really put on the war paint
and gone out to try to save the
day. But to all appearances he
has waited all too long. It is
no credit to his insight that he
did not, months ago, see the
drift of affairs. He feigned to
believe that good times were
just around the corner?a-com
ing back; but instead they had
passed and gone on while he
waited with his back turned on
the situation. Whatever he
may do at this late hour, it is,
it seems, an impossible task to
stay the avalanche of opposi
tion that will engulf him.
The county candidates, both
Democrats and Republicans,
have conducted ex-parte cam
paigns this year, that is, the
candidates of the same faith go
it alone. This plan saves the
candidates on either side mak
ing promises and declarations
and answering charges and ex
plaining, but it deprives the
folks of lots of entertainment.
I And there is another side to a
joint canvass?the people get
to bear both sides at one sitting.
Treatment for Covered Smut and Stripe
Disease ot Barley. !
Covered smut and stripe disease
of barley can be effectively con
trolled by dipping the grain in a
.5 perceut solution of Semesau for
one hour, following the hot water
treatment. As a dry treatment
for these diseases 3 oz. of Ceresau
per bushel of grain is recommeud.
Dr. A. Capehart of Roxobel, Ber
tie County, says he will make 20
bales of cotton on 16 acres where
he used good seed and liberal ap
plications ot stable manure.
