The tremendous cost of elections is one of the arguments being advanced in favor of abolishing the primary in North Carolina. There are others, but if the primary is done away with in this State the cost will be a consid eration in prompting that action. Figures in yesterday's Daily Dis patch showing that the aggregate cost of the June and July primary elec tions in Vance county was $1,205 were interesting. The first, in June, cost $734.14, including the costs of print ing the ballots and of stationery, an item in itself of S4O. The July 2 pri mary expense was listed as $511.70. Other than the printing bill of S4O, the expenses were not itemized In the county accountant's exhibit, more than to say that they were for personal services. There are three members of the County Board of Elections who are entitled to pay for their time. There is a registrar and two judges of elec tions in each of the 13 precincts in the county, making a personnel total of ♦2 The registrars were paid for their services, which extended over a per iod of three weeks, in addition to election day, and the officials had to bring in their books and report the results a few days after the balloting. The cost in this county is exceed ingly low by comparison with ex penses in some other counties. In Bun combe, for instance, where there are close to SO precincts, or more than four times the number in Vance, the cost of the first primary was $9,287, according to the Asheville Times, which also listed an additional $6,500 for the July election. It gives the cost of the June primary in Mecklenburg, county in the State, as while in Durham the cost was C. 08- The Times complains that the diree members of the board of elec tions in its own county. Buncombe, received a total compensation of sl,- 750, which it says is "more than the combined totals paid in Mecklenburg, Forsyth. Guilford, Durham and Wake.” It also gives a further com parison by saying that the five mem bers of the State Board of Elections received only $219.28 for directing elections in the entire 100 counties of the State. The State board, how ever. has a full-time clerk, at least during its busy season, which might be figured Into the cost item there, and without which the members themselves would have cost much more than they did. • i THE SORE SPOT. A news dispatch from London a r day* ago started off with this aentence: "World trade today Is struggling in a straight-jacket of tariffs, quotas, licenses and exchange * restrictions which by their cumulative - effect are rapidly reducing imports ii and exports to the vanishing point.” r * There Is the sort spot that must be « cured up before normal conditions of— prosperity ever will again spread over • the earth. “ The story goes on with interesting V observations. Nearly every country, £ it says, has raised its tariff walls In * the last two or three years—some 50 percent, ethers 100 percent, and some M even 200 percent. A large number a have quotas in addition to tariffs; T’ that Is, only a limited quantity of 4 Imports is permissible under any eon- Jp dltions. Others allow imports only un « der license, or have established for -3 elgn trade monopolies, or prohibit en i tlrely the Importation of certain Br classes of goods. A In addition to all this, more than half of Eroupe has restriction* on dealings in foreign exchange of such & drastic nature that foreign trade Is often made almost impossible. Ag gregate foreign trade of the principal cosmtrice of the world declined in value by sosne 42 percent between 1929 and 1931. And if the statistics wfre available up to the present mo ment, the percentage would be still higher. There is no Indication that the de cline has be>n arrested. The United States, for instance, had an unfovor able trade balance in June for one of the very few times In years. Yet. with all these contributing factors in the situation, we wonder why times are hard. Well, that U one of the chief causes. That is the sore spot. The present Republican administra tion is responsible for a large part of that condition, and it has manifested no willingness not only to reverse its own actions which have brought on this distress, but not even to consider with other countries a general scal ing down of tariff schedules. The only remedy is to turn this adminis tration out and to put in a Demo cratic rule that has definitely and positively pledged itself to right these conditions. * PRESIDENTIAL SALARIES. President Hoover’s voluntary re nunciation last week of twenty per cent of his $75,006 annual salary, leaving him $60,000 a year, or $5,000 per month, calls to mind the history of salaries paid to presidents in this I country. j The United States George Waahing : ton Bicentennial Commission says j that Washington’s salary was fixed by the first Congress at $25,000 a year, which is one-third of the present salary allowed by law to the nation’s chief executive, but far more than one-third when computed on the basis of living coats in those days. For 80 years after the act of September 24, 1789. the President received $25,000 a year. In 1873 it was doubled, and it was 38 years before another in crease was voted. President Taft in 1909 being the first to receive the $75,000 income from the office, which has remained until now. Congress never has rated the vice president much above the level of the average congressman or cabinet mem ber, and even as late as 1909 that of ficer drew a salary less than one sixth the pay of the president. But in 1925 he was raised to $15,000, along with cabinet members and the speaker of the House. These rates are now in effect, except to the extent that they have been changed as a result of the depression. For tneny years cabinet member j received from $3,000 to $3,500 a year, and it was not not until 1853 that Congress voted cabinet salaries on an equal basis straight through, fixing the sum at SB,OOO. Twenty years later, in 1873, when the president’s salary went up to $50,000, cabinet members were raised to SIO,OOO. In 1907 they were boosted to $12,000, and the raise to $15,000 came in 1925. For many years congressmen were paid as day laborers, and drew $6 a day. and that only while attending sessions and paying strict attention to business. It was nearly half a cen tury before a fixed salafy of $3,000 was voted, in 1856. But, since 1925 they have been receiving SIO,OOO a year, and have been loath to give up any part of that until public opinion forced economies this year. The salary of the president is not high by comparison with that re ceived by the heads of some of the nar tlon’s leading industrial enterprises. Presidents of the largest insurance companies and railroads get well over SIOO,OOO a year, to say nothing of the tobacco executives, utilities heads, iand a number of motion picture stars. One baseball player, the one and only Babe Ruth, received a salary equal to that of the president of the United States until he got a reduction at the opening of the present season, hut the voluntary cut President Hoover has taken again puts the Babe well In the lead. The duties of the presi dent far outweigh in importance and in responsibility those of the head of any private enterprise in the coun try. yet he is paid below many of And the rulers or some of the smallest nations lb the world receive annual Incomes far in excess of that of the president of the United States, the richest nation on earth. Consid ering the burdens of the high office, the president should not be begrudged the pay he receives, prosperity, or de pression, or what not. SECOND DUKE TERM BEGINS ON JULY 23 Precedent tug Registration Shown In FlrM Term; *45 Institutions Represented Durham. July 21.—The first term of the Dnke university summer school will coles on Friday and a sec ond period of summer student will begin oft Saturday. Many students, particularly those following graduate courses, will continue for six more Weeks. The second term will close on August 31. According to Dr. Holland Holton, director of the Duke summer schools, the first term here has been mark ed by an exceptional registration. Graduate students numbered 254 men . HENDERSON, IN. C.J DAILY DBFATCH THURfpAY, JULY 21, ‘ 198$ n By Cervtial Press New York. July 21—Now that President Hoover has reduced his salary from $75,000 to $60,000 a year and cabinet officers are to receive ler Charles W. Berry. $35,000; Joseph V. McKee, president of the board of aldermen, $25,000; and the president of five boroughs receive $26,000 each. That mererly is the beginning of an army of officials. The chief city magistrates receives $15,000 a year. Each of the city mag istrates gets $12,000. More, they are appointed for 10 years by the mayor. Then there are the justices of the municipal courts. with similar sal aries. And there are county offices, many of th>-m overlapping with city offices. There are various city commission ers, such as accounts, fire, police, htwlth public service plant and struc tures etc., and they receive $15,000 a year. Lawyers being higher paid, the cor poration counsel receives $25,000. No one actually knows how many assistants there are. It would require another census. AN ODDITY While other businesses are curtail ing services, steamship companies are adding new vessels (although retiring old ones). It is one of the oddiltles of the depression that more new liners transatlantic and coastwise, are en tering New York harbor now than during the period of greatest affluence One of the explanations may be in the fact that virtually every country i? subsidizing the construction of new passenger vessels. ANOTHER UNKNOWN FACT The Brooklyn bridge has had so much publicity since it was opened, on May 24, 1883, that folks get the Idea it is the most popular f othose cix>ssing the East rlwer. It is the least popular —Statistics show. In 1930 the last year for which figures are obtainable. 171,110 perr»ns used it on a certain clocked day. Whereas 559.004 persons used the Manhattan bridge; 380,554 the Williamsburg bridge, and 281.641 the Queensboro bridge. Bridge traffic over the East river is steadily declining. Tubes get the largest share of rapid transit bus iness. There is no tunnel for autos under the Bast river. Thus the brid ges still are considerably of a necaa sity. They too, have rapid transit trains. TODAY TODAY'S ANNIVERSARIES 1801—'Theron Baldwin, clergyman, pioneer missionary educator of the West, born at Goshen, Conn. Died at Orange N. J.

Federal Power Committion Has Been Bed of Discord During Its 2.Year Career (Continued rrom Wage One.) curred, the senate, its holiday past, tried to rescind its three confirma tions, but was balked by President Hoover though the aolons actually resorted to legal proceedings in an effort to oust Chairman Smith, who only secured a supreme court decision in his favor a few weeks ago. The senate's sloppy approval of Smith. Garsaud and Draper soon was followed by its indorsement of Mc- Nlnch and Williamson—unopposed in Williamson's case but strenuously op i posed in McNlnch’s by Tarheel Demo crats, who complained that the Caro i linian was not In reality of their po litical faith, though appointed on that supposition, but a 1928 Hoovcrat in stead. The outcome was satisfactory enough from McNinch’s standpoint, but n#t from the st&npoint of Sena tor Cameron Morrison of North Car olina, who supported him and was overwhelmingly beaten as a candidate to succeed himself, at his home state primaries recently, in part on account of his dryness but certainly In part because of his helpfulness to McNlnch In 1930. Now the jinx apparently is after Garsaud's scalp. The first tenn of the Louisiana commissioner having expired late in May, the president reappointed him. But the redoubtable Huey Long tied up his confirmation in the senate. Huey is a senator himself this time. Moreover, it is a point of honor among senators not to vote for con firmation of an appointment from a fellow senator’s state, if that senator declares it "personally obnoxious" to him. CREDIT IS CLAIMED FOR HIGHWAY BILL (Continued from Page one.) man E. W. Pou, of the fourth district, Zebulon Weaver, of the eleventh, and Bob Doughton, of the eighth, as well as all the other members of the North Carolina delegation in the House, were of material assistance in getting it through there. Senator J. W. Bailey gave the bill his close attention when it reached the Senate and helped to get it attached to the Wagner bill as a rider, in order to save it from de feat. In commenting on the bill, Gov ernor Gardner said: "The provisions in the bill relating to roads were drawn by Congressman Warren in February after a confer ence with Mr. Jeffress. Congressman Pou. chairman of the House Rules Committee, secured a special rule to get the bill through Congress. Con gressman Doughton of the Ways and Means committee, helped greatly in shaping the bill for passage in that committee. Congressman Weaver se cured the inclusion of the provision for funds for roads in the Smoky Mountains National Park area. In the Senate, Seqqtor Hailey dis a-, member of the Committee on Roads was a leader in keeping the relief bill on Its way towards passage and fought for the inclusion of the Warren measure in the Relief Bill that was finally passed. "I do; not hesitate to say that the provisions for roads and parks would not have been included In the relief bill except for the aggressive leader ship of these gntlemen and the active packing of the entire North Carolina delegation. This provision was vigor ously fought by Secretary of Agricul ture Hyde and Senator Bingham of Connecticut. The bill was supported by the entire North Carolina dele gation in Congress and real credit should properly be given to our state’* leadership for its successful enact ment. It ought to be the means for giving employment to 5.000 able , bodied unemployed men in North Carolina.” Under the terms of the bill, a total of $5,780,406 must be spent in North Carolina between now and July 1, 1933, on Federal aid highway con- Wife Preservers PPiERHI "Bdfl •Jf r % D U B *2 1 irTiiLa. !’ J ■■ Curtains in front of the bathtub and at the bathroom window* may be made of small patterned etfctotb in corresponding pattern.

Garden Business Is Doing Nicely In Wilson Proper Dally Dispatch Flarene, la the SHr Walter Hotel. BY J. C, DMKKRVILL. Raleigh, July 21.—The city of Wil son is doing nicely in the gardening business this summer, with eight com munity plots under cultivation, accord ing to Mrs. Jeannette M. Grainger, executive secretary of the Wilson Wel fare Association. “Aside from the fact that we are giving the unemployed work for their groceries and are also raising food for the fall, the best feature of the whole project is the fine spirit of cooperation shown by the men who are helping with the Work. They have come to feel that they are a part of the work and, in stead of feeltng that they are on charity, they speak of the plots as ‘our gardens!”’ According to Mrs. Grainger, the eight plots total 37 acres, planted in Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, butter beans, snaps, corn, field peas, cabbage, collards and tnurnips. She writes the Governor’s Council on Unemployment and Relief that the yield has been wonderful and that "we are canning all surplus vegetabls, using the school kitchen for this purpose with women, whose families we have been feeding doing the work under my super vision.” All work in the gardens has been done by unemployment men, white men one day and colored on the next. Groceries are given in exchange for the work don. Further, attractive signs, painted by the city of Wilson, have been placed on each plot, read ing “Community Garden. No. 1,” and *o forth.
