Deputy Warden Thinks
State Should Own Dogs

Raleigh, Oct. is A pack of State
owned bloodhounds, with two ot throe
of these kept constantly m all the
larger prison ramps and units, would
virtually end escapes, in the opinion
of Deputy Warden L. G. Whitley of
the prison division of the State High
way and Public Works Commission.
For while the prison division doc
not own any bloodhounds, Superin
tendent Wi R. Brooks of the Wilson
county prison camp ows three blood
hounds and has .been so successful
in running down escapes from his
camp with them that he has virtully
stopped all escapes. Whitley said.
‘'Superintendent Brooks had so
much trouble with prisoners escap
ing from his camp that he finally
decided to get some bloodhounrs and
see if they would help him any in
recapturing escapes and in stopping
attemj\ s ’to escape, " Whitley said.
“The results obtained by Superinten
dent? Brooks have been so remarkable
that I think the state would do well
to get more of these hounds and keep
two or three within call of all the
lareer camps at all times.
‘‘For Super tendenti Brooks has
traced down and captured between
1.5 and 20 prisoners who have es
caped from his camp. The dogs one
rime traced three convicts for a dis»
tance of more than 30 miles, or all
the way from the camp in Wilson
county clear down into Harnett coun
ty. Not long ago they tracked down
v. aprisoner who tried to get them
off the scent by staying in water up
to his neck for three or four hours.
But the dogs picked up the trail just
the same and finally located him in
his hiding place, so the guards cap
tured him.”
The prisoners in the Wilson county
camp nave such a healthful respect

being charged in Nortli Carolina. Since
then nothing has been heard as to
whether this investigation was ever
made or not. But the belief in in
formed circlse here is that the in
vestigation has been made and com
pleted, that, its findings have not. been
favorable to the gasoline companies
and that this reduction in prices is
being made now as a smoke screen if
and when the findings of this investi
gation are made public. It is also
believed the assigning of the price
cuts to a "gasoline war” with the in
dependents is also a smoke screen to
fool the public and save the faces of
the big companies, since they do not
want to admit that either Governor
Ehringhaus nor Secretary Ickes have
had anything to do with the price re
duction .
IThat the “gasoline war” with the
independent stations is being used as
an execuse rather than a reason for
reducing prices, is borne out by the
fact that the large gasoline stations
could have at any time reduced their
prices charged by the large independ
prices to within half a cent of the
ent stations. Yet throughout most of
the summer and fall, until within the
last two weeks, most of the large com
pany stations have kept their prices
from two to thre cents higher than
these other stations. Now, it is un
derstood, orders have gone out from
all the large gasoline companies to
their stations to reduce their retail
HENDERSON, (N. CJDAILY DISPATCH, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19 1934
prices to within half a cent of the in
dependents’ prices)! no matter how
much lower they may go.
Another objective of the reduction
in gasoline prices is reported to he
the elimination of the so-called “third
grade” gasoline whieh many of the
large company stations kept on hand
in special pumps and sold at the
prices whieh the independents charg
ed. They would frequently advertise
the price of this “third grade” gaso
line in large figures, bul would, Wien
try to sell the higher pi\eeu gasoline
when cars drove in to he filled. It is
understood that the handling of this
"third grade” gasoline was not pro
fitable and that most of the compan
ies now want to eliminate it. Hence
the cuting of prices on regular gaso
line to within half a cent of the
price charged by the independent sta
tions. The Petroleum Code, it is un
derstood, gives authority to any sta
tion operator with a tank of 12,000 gal
lons or more which can be filled di
lect from a tank car, thus eliminat-.
ing tank wagon servicing, to charge
half a cent a gallon les sthan other
stations. That is why the service sta
tions that are serviced by tank wa
gons cannot reduce their prices to the
sam,e leve’ as these ohter stations.
But the main factor in the present
reduction of gasoline prices in North
Carolina is still believed to be the in
vestigation of prices and discrimina
tjon in North Carolina started several'
months ago by Secretary Ickes at the
request of Governor Ehringhaus, and
fact that the time for the general

PRICES
The rise in commodity prices since
March, 1933, has been approximately
30 per cent. That is tremendous.
But, no matter how painful it may
be to the consumer, it still is far short
of the goal for the producer.
According to the United States
Bureau of Labor index, wholesale
commodity prices still are only 77 per
cent of the 1926 goal, which was the
announced aim.
Concerning this great movement of
prices, the New York Sun financial
column remarks:
“That rise, it is clear enough, has
been too rapid for the slower-moving
wage and income increase, with the
result that the higher cost of Aiving
is reducing real wages and higher re
tail prices are tending to hold down
consumption.
From the standpoint of business,
nevertheless, the course of prices over
the past four months has not been
favorable, if by that is mount strength
The gain Since the end of May has
been entirely in the farm' products
and fi od sections. \
“Farm products have hardened, on
the index number, from 60.1 to 72.8
per cent. Food prices have risen from
67.4 to 76 per cent. All commodities

stability is not change in prices so
much as a proper relationship be

‘Farm country troubles spring
largely from the disparity existing be
tween Ihe prices of goods the farmers
have to sell and those they have to
buy' .
That is true of every other degree
of the population, except that the av
erage wage earner has obhfmed no
increase to meet the increased costs.
And that applies to the average man
in business, too—other than the
“monopolies”.

WILSON'S DOWNFALL
I have observed this tendency at
work in Washington for a long, long
time. x
It was conspicuously noticeable in
its operation under the regime of
Woodrow Wilson. President Wilson
as he yielded more and more to the
attraction of interests desirous of
American particiption in the World
Wr, gined importnt wr supporter
after important wr supporter by the
simple procedure of inviting one after
another of them into conference with
him and .offering to them, one after
another, a choice between figuring as
influential war advisers of the admin
istration or of losing influence alto
gether by opposing a policy he already
had decided to adopt.
He didn’t convert quite 100 per cent
but he didn’t fall far short of it.
President Harding perhaps didn’t
count, but Presidents Coolidge and
Hoover, in succession, gained a deal
of backing, that neither logically was
entitled to, by taking politico-econo
mic opponents into their counsels and
thus transforming them into at least
temporary allies.

WAR PSYCHOLOGY
The system worked to near-perfec
tion under President Wilson, for the
reason that he had a national war
psychology to help him. President
Coolidge, in an abnormal era of so
called prosperity, didn’t need to re
sort to it much. President Hoover
greatly needed to resort, to it, hut
was handicapped by his personality.
It is a systenrx that President
Roosevelt pre-eminently needs to uti
lie, and is pre-eminently qualified to
utilie—if he can keep it going.
At winning supporters he is a mas
ter. But can he HOI/D them? If so,
how long?
Long Staple of

Raleigh, Oct. 18.—The shortage of
longer staple cotton grown tills year
and the resulting higher prices being
paid*for cotton ranging from 15-16 to
1 3-32, combined with the fact that
more of ihis longer staple cotton was
grown in Nortli Carolina this year
than ever before, should result in
many cotton farmers getting much
better prices for their cotton this year
than formerly, according to TT. Benton
Blalock, of the North Carolina: Cotton
Growers Cooperative Association.
“The fact that cotton farmers in
North and South Carolina are now
producing! a larger percentage of
these longer staple lengths than ever
before is decidedly to their advant-

as much cotton of these longer statue

Feinting out that Nortli Carolina
mills now consume more cotton that,
those in any other state and that the
bulk of the cotton used in these, mills
ranges from 15-16 to 1 3-32, Mr. Bla
lock said that indications are that
there may he a very serious shortage
of cotton suitable for use in the North
