Hoey for use on the secondary road system of the State is likely to be changed into something resembling dismay when it came to deciding where the money shall be spent. This phase of the matter is likely to give all the highway commission ers, now representing each a special district, a bad case of joint and sev eral headaches; because it is certain that every section of every county in eveij district is going to Want its share in the - two million; and spread ing that sonorous-sounding but cofti paratively small sum over the State’s secondary system is going to be something like trying to spread a flapper’s bath suit over the circus fat lady.

Efficiency aind Economy Watchword of Agricul ture Chief’s Work Dally Dispatch Bureau. Fn the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, April 13. —Kerr Scott, State commissioner of agriculture, hardly takes the trouble to answer the many criticisms hurled at him and his de partment, but under officials and em ployes—all of whom appear to be stout defenders of their boss —emulate A1 Smith in demanding “let’s look at the record.” They cite facts and figures design ed to show that the department, in its something more than a year un der the Scott regime, has in fact been revitalized; and they claim that the progress already made will be con solidated end extended. Here are listed some of the things Commissioner friends point to with pride, as conclusive answers to his critics: 1. Appointment of an assistant to the commissioner, D. S. Coltrane, in charge of fertilizer, feed and seed in spections. His work in bringing up to date the seed, feed and fertilize” laws is claimed as an outstanding achievement. 2. Increase in number of seed in spectors from two to four, which has doubled the efficiency of the feed in spection service. 3. Merger of the pure food and fer tilizer analytical divisions under on : administrative head (the State chem ist), with resulting increases in ef ficiency and economy. Increase' in food inspectors from two to four. 4. Additions to the Seed Laboratory. The capacity for work has been trio led and this year more than 100 sam ples were turned out each day.

STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, April 13. —-The na tional administra'ion seems to he shifting from a m>U«v of direoi relie' relief to a greatly incieascd i uhlic works program, as an economic stimulant. Direct relief (aims, in short) can not be abandoned entirely, but the thought is to pare it down as much as possible, with a view of something more constructive. The theory is ell rgnt. A dole a mounts to outright charity which i-5 destructive to the morale of its re cipients. It is o. k., however, for a worker to accept pay for his actual effort, put into a government develop ment; he considers himself no.more an dependent than doqs a cohgressman or a governor or a mayor, or being on the public payroll.

Chairman Cannon, Democrat, Mis souri, of the appropriations sub-com mittee, which prepared the measur-;, said that E. W. Bell, Budget Burea i director, “is studying the increase, and we hope he will approve the increase before we pass this bill.” Meanwhile, President Roosevelt urg ed Congress to retain the principle of the bitterly disputed undistributed profits tax, but met stubborn resis tance from the Senate Finance Coni rnittee. Attacking provisions of the Senate tax bill, which would eliminate the undistributed profits tax, opposed by business, and substitute a flat capuM gains tax for the graduated system now used, Roosevelt wrote the chaii men of the Senate Finance and House Ways and Means Committees: ' “The repeal of the undistributed profits tax and the reduction of the tax on capital gains to a fraction of the tax on other forms of income strikes at the root of fundamental principles of taxation. “Business will be helped, not hurt, by these suggestions.” Chairman Harrison, Democrat, Mis sissippi, of the finance commitete. commented tersely: “The Senate con ferees will insist in conference on the amendments adopted by the Senate.” The President and his economic ad visors worked at top speed to com plete a new recovery and relief pro gram, apparently agreed upon at a long night conference at the White House. While the conferees did not disclose details, it was indicated the keystone probably would be a proposal to spend $1,500,000,000 on public works as * means of reviving business and ir. dustry. Both public works and relief pro posals were expected to be covered ;n a presidential message to Congress to morrow noon. The president will hav<? a final talk on the message with con gressional leaders at 5 p. m., today.
