DON'T SQUANDER TAX NICKELS NOW
lfhe current world crisis, which has come hotaie with a
bang to the United States, should have at least one ben
eficial effect ? and that is to discourage the proponents!
of certain costly, unnecessary and highly dubious politi- 1
cal schemes.
One such scheme is the St. Lawrence river project,
whereby the United States government would spend
hundreds of millions for hydro-power development which
we don!t need, and for inland water transport facilities
which would simply divert business from existing pri
vate carriers.
According to dispassionate surveys, the St. Lawrence i
project woukl result in cheaper transportation and,
cheaper power only if a large part of the cost were char
ged off to other purposes ? only, in other words, if gov
ernment subsidized the business with the taxpayers'!
money. If all costs were honestly figured, including the
loss in wages and purchasing power that would result ,
from displacement of existing business, the power and]
the transportation would prove to be excessively ex- 1
pensive.
We need the St. Lawrence project about as much as a
cat needs five legs. Private industry in this country is
prepared to give us all the transportation and power)
service we can possibly use. It will give it to us? by
spending private money, not tax money. It will create
new and important sources of taxation, instead of des
troying sources of taxation. It will provide real jobs in j
real productive industry? -not political sinecures.
Even in times of wofld peace and bounding prosper- i
ity, it is doubtful if we can afford political projects to
destroy private business. Certainly we can't afford
them now, when every possible tax nickel must be turn-|
ed to national defense.

Regular polling pre?inct? will
> be used In conducting the Tobac
co Referendum in Franklin Coun
ty Saturday, July 20. Polls will
be o'p?n at 8:00 A. M. and will
close at 7:00 P. M. Referendum
Committee consisting of three to
bacco producers will conduct the
referendum in each Community.
By marking question No. 1. farm
ers will cast their vote for to
bacco marketing quotas-for 1941,
1942 and 1943. By marking ques
tion No. ,2, farmers will vote
against marketing quotas for 1942
and 1943 bnt for a 1941 program.
By marking question No. 3, farm
ers will vote against marketing
quotas. In order to carry the
program for three years, 66 2-3
percent of farmers voting must
mark question No. 1. If t-his is
not done, then a one-year plan
could be in effect if the sum of
ballots cast for three year plan
and those for one year plan equal
as much as two-thirds of all the
votes cast. If more than one-third
of rotes are cast against market
ing Quotas, farmers will not have
either the three-year or one-year
plan in effect in 1941.
Franklin County farmers are
urged to vole at the balloting
place in the community in which
they reside. Places for balloting
in Franklin County will be as
follows:
Cedar Rock Township. Edward
Best School; Cypress Creek. Sev
en Paths: Dunn. Pine Ridge.
Pearce; Kranklinton. Mayor's Of
fice; Gold Mine, Centerville; Har
ris, Harris School; Hayesville,
Epsom School; Louisburg, Court
House: Sandy Creek. Gold Sand
School; Youngsville, Mayor's Of
fice. i.
There are many issues Involv
ed in the Referendum on Tobacco
Marketing Quotas to be conducted
Saturday. July 20, and I believe
at this time it is proper that the
major ftsuee be summarized for
the consideration of voters. Mr.
E. Y. Floyd, State Executive Of
ficer, has summarized the issues
as follows:
1. Stocks on Hand. ? Stocks
of flue-cured tobacco in the Unit
ed States is 50 percent above any
previous record.
2. Decline in Price. ? The prev
ious past five-year average of to
bacco was 22.9 cents per pound.
The large crop of 1939 which pil
ed up this surplus and Mie recent
war caused the price to drop from
22.9 cents per pound down to
1 14.9 cents.
3. Loss of Export Trade. ? For
the immediate future we have lost
80 percent of our flue-cured ex
port business, which means the
j market- is dead for that amount
of tobacco in the warring coun
tries for the present time. No one
can tell at the present time Just
when this business will be re
gained.
4. What can the producers do
under the existing circumstances?
Congress has made it possible
for producers to have quotas in
effect for three years. The ad
vantages of having three-year
quotas are:
a. Domestic manufacturers can
pay fair prices for tfieir tobacco
without fear of excessive produc
tion during the period.
b. The Commodity Credit Cor
poration will aid In the buying
of a sufficient amount of the
11940 flue-cured crop so that the
market) average will be equal to
last year's price or better, If the
three-year quotas BTe voted by a
j two-thirds majority.
c. Farmers are assured under
this law. If three-year quotas are
voted, that their allotments for
1941 will not be reduced below
the 1940 allotments.
d. Even if conditions get worse
the producers would not be re
quired to make in excess of a
10 percent reduction for the
period of 1942 and 1943, com
bined.
Congress alao provided for one
year quotas and If the three-year
quota fails and the one-year quota
Is approved, it will be necessary
to make a 10 percent reduction
in acreage from the 1940 allot
ments and the price would be 2
or 3 cents per pound less than
lb would If three-year quotas were
approved.
Small producers are protected
under either the three-year or
one-year plan to the extent that
a producer with 2 acres or less
will not be asked to make any
reduct4on. This does not mean
that every producer will get 2
acres. It means If a man has an
allotment of 1.9 acres In 1940,
he will not be reduced below 1.9
acre* or if a producer has 1.0
acre he would not be reduced be
low the 1.0 acre.
. If business conditions improve
quotas will be increased under
the three-year plan.
6. If Quotas are noti approved
py a two-thirds majority of the
farmers voting In the referjehdUltr.

The Governor, leading farmers,
businessmen^' and professional
men of all professions think the:
three-year plan offers the greatest;
advantage and more security to
the farmers. They have stated
that< it would be suicide to do
other than Vote for the three-year
plan.
Won't you think this thing
through in the next day or two
and go out to your polling place

Only tobacco producers who

crop will decide this question.
