C., aa second claaa matter under Act of Marcn 4, 1879. MONDAY, APRIL 24, 1939 The People Choose The greatest privilege accorded people .in this country other than the opportunity to worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience is the privilege of governing themselves through the meth od we call voting. That every citizen shall have the right to express his desires, regardless of whe ther he or she is acting for the common good, is the comer stone of the nation and any person who interferes with that right is tampering with the foundation, which if taken away means sure and inevitable collapse. One of the niost admirable traitls of the American people has been and should ever be their independence on election day. All men cannot help but feel a spark of admiration for those who safely guard their right to govern themselve.s, even a^ the sacrifice of temporary' gain. Which brings to mind the humorous story which went the rounds in Wilkes a few years ago about a primary candidate He was reported to have given a man a dollar and the man had promised to vote for him. On the way to the polling place he was approached by the candidate’s op ponent or one of his workers. Being more liberal or having more to offer, the second man who approached the weak-kneed voter offered him two dollars. lie took the two dollars and voted wit[h the man w’ho gave it to him. Possibly because he felt remorse of con science and to make believe that he wa.s an independent voter, the person w'ho .sold his privilege sought the person who gave him the lone dollar and it happened that; the person was at the time surrounded with friends and acquaintances. But the company made no difference to the per son W'ho had sold his vote and he handed the dollar to the man who had given it to him. and with the remark. “Take you old dollar. I’ll have you to know that I votes as I please.” Business Found Its Own Way Without any subsidy from government or any other aid but the working of the ancient Capitlalist .sy.stem, w'hich so many people claim is outmoded, the growers of citrus fruits, oranges and grapefruit, :n California. Texas and Florida, have .just solved the problem of what to do with surplus cro])s by their own eflorts. Last Fall they realized that ;,hey had the largest surplus crops conving through in all history. They had tt do some thing or dump tneir iiroducts on the mar ket at ru nous prices. Overnight the Na- liional Citrus . Merchandising Committee w'as formed. Its members called on the officials of the national grocery associ ations. wholesalers, retailer gsi ags iiid pendents and chains. Would the grocer cooperate in the effort to -sell more or anges and grapefru t to the public! ■ They would, and they did. Both chain sljore organizations and independents 'un dertook ^ six-month’s drive, with lower retail prices and heavy advertising of ci trus fruit. So succes.sful were the comb ned effoi-ts of the entire gioup that the entire surplus was sold. America cossumed 25 per cent more oranges and grapefruit beuween last Sep tember and March than the year before. One chain store organization sold more than a billion oranges, increasing its sales by 47 per cent. Everj'body was happy over the result. Growers liked it; it moved a surplus and gtablized prices. Consumers liked it; it biought them fresh fruit at low prices; Retailers liked it; it increased their sales volume and gave them a chance to ren der better service to their customers. If farmers and distributors can solve V their own problems by such means in one #4eld, why can’t producers and merchants itt eW iMuir line Ibl^pw the same tac- itica?

It will be recalled that the Federal gov- emmenil has approved a six and a half million dollar PWA-financed hydro-elec tric power plant for the city of High Point, which calls Ifor use of Yadkin river water up near its source. Now the question is. does the Federal Power Commission or Prof the state have control over the Yadkin. Of course, back of it all, are other ques tions—^that of the city of High Point gi; ing into debt to build a power plant up i? Yadkin county, the wisdom of the city is suing so many bonds, competition with the Duke Power Go., which now supplies the ciijy and its industries, etc. But North Carolina as a state will keep away from Ruffupr recommended: these questions. studying the advantages and 11m- ifatlons of feeds and their rela tive values,'’ he declared. 1 A wide variety of satisfactory feeds are available in the South for dairymen to choose the com binations which are most efficient and economical in balanced ra-! tions. Because of its avallahllity. and low cost, cottonseed meal is, usually the protein concentrate ' around which the ration is built, Ruffner said. Among the low-protein, or car bohydrate feeds, of similar value that may be used in dairy rations j are; Corn meal, ground fhre«hed grain sorghums, ground or rolled barley, ' hominy feed, ground wheat, or ground rough rice.

WHEN LOBBIES FUNCTION (.Statesville Daily) A bill was introduced in t'he General As.sembly tjo add a mite to the Auto licen.sc fees for the purpose of providing funds to iiav ho.spital bills of automobile wreck victims. The measure had the support of the hospitals, of cour.se, because it would have a.ssured ;hem at least a pittance which they now are not getting for service rendered. Even the already over-burden ed taxiiayers didn’t seem to mind this lit tle added toll, and the legislators them- ;s(:lves seemed friendly enough to the measure to give it a trial. The inipres- •don was that the legislature would write it into law. But the legislature didn’t. Something happened to create a coolness toward the p:4opo.sition and it finally was shelved. For one thing the casualty insurance cornpanie.s had an effective and well-oiled i lobby to Raleigh durin.g the session of the j General Assembly, and it is significant I that a Raleigh legal firm has just been handed a check for $1,500 by the Associ ation of Casualty and Surety Executives, of New York Ci.1y, in payment for service.-’ rendered during the legislative session. Enactment of the hospitalization bill would have interfered materially with thel casualty and surety business, and if it was defeated at a cost of fifteen hundred bucks multiplied several times, it was a good investment for those concerned in .selling this protection. And so it is reason- ible to suppose that there is a directI con nection between this efficient lobby and the somersault in the lower house duri. the cloiiing days of the session. There w’ere reasonable objections to the measure but 1(hese should have bee’ put on the scales and weighed against its merits—^without the emplojonent of a lob by to upset the balance. f(jo oth#r ear ,on.hin^ all ">•« famoMfaataru sHin.
