MUCH RELIEF WORK JUST PLAIN WASTE Productive Activity May Be That or Something Very Foolish By CHARLES r. STEWART (Central I'n-.s.s Staff Writer) Washington, Nov. 2.—As between straight-out charity and the stimula tion of productive activity the Roose velt administration is 100 per cen in favor of productive activity. Its spokesmen, such as the Presi dent himself, Labor Secretary Frances Perkins. Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes and Relief Director Harry Hopkins, have been emphasiz ing this idea strongly of late —appar- ently with a view to preparing the public’s mind for the program tn«: White House seemingly intends to urge when Congress meets in Jan uary. The preference is one with which, naturally, no sensible person can but be warmly in sympathy. How Genuine? The question is: Is so-called productive activity al ways as genuinely productive as it pretends to be, and maybe honestly believes that it is? Shoveling down a hill to fill up a valley, and then shoveling out the valley again, to reconstruct the original hill, is work certainly, but purely wasted work. Socialists call it “made work’’, and incline to con sider it rather worse than nothing at all. Economically it has absolutely no value, anyway. It has additional disadvantage: It’s an expensive method of dispens ing charity. An unadulterated hand out is just that much and no more. A shoveling job calls for engineering skill and supervision and an organi zation —all wasted, as completely a..- the shovelers’ pay. It’s doubtful that any one’s self-respect is saved, either; the bulff is too manifest.

(,«••» ||pr<-tn«, l»i • l»■: Fir VVmler Hotel, I*} J. Raleigh, Nov. 2. —Permission was granted to 22 cities and counties to supplement the salaries of their city or county 7 superintendents from local funds by the State School Commission which met here Wednesday, it was learned today 7 . Most of these cities and towns were also granted pCrmis -ion to supplement the State allotment for office expenses and for the travel of superintendents. But in most arses the amount of the supplement requested was sca.ed down by 7 the commission. In no case does the sup plement approved exceed more than 30 per cent of the State salary scn«- dule. although in a good many cases supplements of 50 to 60 per cent of the State schedule were requested. In all. the school commission con sidered some HO supplemental budgets from as many counties, cities and towns. But most of these were regarded as well within reason, so that only about -10 of the supplementa, ! budgets were scaled down to figures lower than requested. In some in stances where supplements of SI,OOO 1 for superintendents’ salaries were asked, they 7 were cut to SSOO or even less. Almost every budget submitted pro posed to increase the salary of the superintendent anywhere from 20 to 60 per cent, d:ut only four or five of the budgets submitted provided tor any supplementation of teachers’ salaries, although the average salary 7 of most of the school teachers is on.y about S6O a month, while most of the county and city superintendents get at least S2OO a month and for 12 months instead of only eight.

To Boney About Compulsory Auto mobile Policy DEALERS NAME FIRMS Require Auto Buyer To Insure Either With Manufacturer or Company Designated by Them as Acceptable Iu Un' .Sir Walter Hotel, Uv ,1. ImsUervUle, Raleigh, Nov. 2—A vigorous protest has just been filed with Commission er of Insurance Dan C. Boney by the North Carolina. Association of Insur ance Agents against the practice of automobile dealers and fir|ince com panies in requiring purchasers of new cars to buy their casualty, fire, theft and collision insurance either from the finance companies or from com panies they recommend. In its brief, the assoiation maintains that this practice on the part of automobile dealers and finance companies is de priving the insurance men of the State of at least $175,000 a year that rightfully should be theirs and hence reducing the purchasing power in the State by that amount. Under the com pulsory insurance plan, while the automobile buyer pays the same rate of insurance he would if he bought it from a local agent, non-commis sioners are paid with the result that the entire amount goes to some com pany outside the state. In the brief filed with Commis sioner Boney, it is pointde out that “individual car purchasers are being insured by a system wherein the in (Continued on Pose Three) South Carolina Bank Is RoE)bed Os Small Amount Laurens, S.
