OT MEN Asheboro, N , January 11, 1934. $2.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE NUMBER 2 There Is strong sentiment among farm worker* locally for Senator Smith’s hill, now in the Congressional hopper, appropriating 100 million dol lars to continue direct crop produc tion loans to farmers. The senate has reported the hill favorably, but there is doubt ft will find favor with the administration. Several weeks ago officials of the administration expressed diseatisfae of crop production loans. 75 per cant of the fanners who have been borrowing under the present plan cannot qualify under the proposed set-up, Senator Smith holds, and, judging front local conditions, there is no argument but that Smith is correct Hie large number of Randolph fanners do not need loans under crop production or may other plan. But hundreds of farmers can use a email loan to enable them to make a crop, provided they can get the money with their prospective crops as collateral. Those interested in continuation of crop production loans under the pre sent plan should lose no time in writing their representatives in the 'United States Senate and Congress about the matter.

While Hie NBA is still in the for mative stage with many codes . still unsigned a Republican attack has already descended in Congress upon the plan as a whole, the spending in general. ; , ,:.-f .. ■ Senator Robinson, Of Indiana, led the attack and began by criticizing the President's message and “mad expenditures.” He teas answered by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Dem ocratic leader, who characterized his speech a*e “an unjust and unfounded attack on the President.” The de bate occupied the attention of the Senate for more than three hours. The Indiana Senator’s attack did not represent any set program Senate Republicans >ut plans for assailing the ad ministration’s policies, it is now ap parent that individual Senators in tend to inquire thoroughly into the operation of the recovery program. The Senate adopted a resolution offered by Senator Carey af Wyo der of this month hunting in Maryland Agriculture to report on the money spent in the com and hog program, mid another sponsored by Senator Vandenberg of Michigan seeking a report on the amount of processing taxes collected and the coat of ad ministration. The information, it is understood, may be used in at tacking the farm-relief policy. Another significant action on the part of the Republicans was the is-' suanoe .of a pamphlet by the Re publican National Committee en titled “Which Way?” It criticized the administration’s monetary pro gram' and budgetary plans. These three moves indicate, ob servers say, that the minority in tends to become vigorous in reviewing the administration’s accomplishments. Senator Robinson, not content to criticize the President, then turned his guns upon Secretary Mbngenthau, scoring him for employing Earl Bail ie as a financial expert. Senator Robinson of Arkansas in terrupted the tirade by asking sev eral questions and bringing up the difference between emergency meas ures and methods of spending and normal expenditures. He also de fended Die budget as honest in pur pose mid- methods. - Fine Co-operation Shown By Randolph People In Tag Sale Patrolman I. E.
