Growers Os Cotton Ask More Funds (Continued irom Page One.) senators and representatives, spokes men for the cotton growers asked that some 11,000,000 bales, on which the government already h'as made loans, be returned to grower® in lieu of new crop production. For several days, ithe growers have been discuss ing the world cotton surplus with representatives of the Agriculture department. U .i li« Ransom Aldrich, president of the Mississippi Farm Bureal Federation, acted as spokesman for the cotton growers ait today’s meeting. He said the growers wanted to continue allo cations made under the present pro gram, and add to them a “voluntary” reduction plan 'by which growers' could cut acreage from 20 to 75 per cent in addition to the announced program. In exchange, he proposed that they receive bales now piling up under the government loan plan. Aldrich estimated that this would take at least 2,000,000 bales out of the surplus now piled up under govern ment loans. Several senators, noting that cotton was now worth S4O a bale, and the program would cost the government upwards of $80,000,000, asked how it would be financed. Aldrich replied that was “a problem for Congress,” but that growers thought the cotton problem should be financed in the same way as funds for the navy, army relief and other government activities.

The report was submitted to Irving Kaufman, assistant United States at torney in charge of the McKesson & Robbins investigation. These rif'as were Lee-Enfields, owned by the United States government, and the plan was to sell them, together with some 2,000,000,000 cartridges from the government’s surplus stores, to China or another foreign power. The attempt to negotiate the deal, however, fell through in July, 1937, ! the report said, when the government put the rifles and ammunition in re serve. Ben Simon, arrested by Fede ral authorities last month on a charge of violating the securities and ex change act in connection with the McKesson and Rabbins situation, was named in the "report as having hc"n approached by an unidentified indi vidual who allegedly told him ttie co operation of a high class firm was es sential to the successful conclusion of any sale.

After his condemnation of govern ments whose armies bomb civilian population, Hull last year asked all American manufacturers and export ers of airplanes to cooperate in pre venting American aircraft or aerial munitions from being sold to those coun tries. The board reported that all manu facturers, “with only one outstand ing exception,” had conformed to this policy, and that the flow of planes and munitions to such countries had virtually ended. The lone exception was not named. • . The report disclosed that the sale of American munitions abroad more than doubled in 1938, amounting to $94,- 209,532, as compared with $45,076,316 in 1937.

Flat $5 Fee For Autos Is Aim Os Bill (Continued from Page One.) bill will be the North Carolina Farm Bureau Federation which some weeks ago adopted lower tag fees as one of its prime legislative objectives. E. F. Arnold, Federation executive secretary, admits that he does not know just how far the State can go in the matter of losing revenue from lower tag fees, but he contends that sale of tags primarily for revenue pur poses is wrong in principle. Tags ought to be, he feels, for identifica tion purposes only, with highway rev enues coming from those who use the roads. The gasoline tax, he says, is the fairest of all. Mr. Arnold points out that under the present system the owner of a passenger car who drives only two or three thousand miles a year pays the same as the commercial traveler who travels perhaps a hundred thousand miles in a year. Also the small far mer with a light truck which he uses only to haul his own crops to market, >ays the same tag fee as a commer cial house which uses its truck every dav in the year.

STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, Jan. 9. —Congress does lot take the idea of a governmentally astablished and managed lottery to tinance, in part, the District of Colum bia—that is to say,' Washington, the na tional capital. The scheme was proposed by Lewis R. Perkins, attorney for an outfit known as the Society for Liquidation of the Public Debt. Fer kins outlined it in a letter to Chairman I.Tobert L. Doughton of the House of Re presentatives Ways Robert L. Doughton and Means Commit tee. Doughton has not said much about it yet, but Representative Ross A. Collins, who is chairman, of a'sub committee on appropriations for the District, has referred to it as “the biggest fool suggestion I ever heard of.” Comment by other lawmakers is in quite general agreement with him. Insofar as Attorney Perkins’ plan applies only to the District of Colum bia it is of no more than local inter est. However, the lottery method oi raising cash for public purposes evi dently appeals to a great many folk an a far larger than a merely local scale —perhaps on a national one. I has been urged frequently and is men tioned oftener and oftener—not by. re gular economists but by volunteer ad visers on the subject of revenue sour ces. I would not wonder if, sooner or later, it might not begin to make some converts on Capital Hill. These funny-money notions are pretty con tagious. Not So Foolish. I entirely concur in Congressmaii Collins’ judgment that a governmen talized lottery would be wholly unde sirable—in fact a vicious influence. But it is not exactly a “fool sug gestion." Government lotteries pay like sixty. I have lived in several countries where they have them and there is not any doubt that they are enormous ly profitable—to the government; not to the suckers who play them. Representative Collins contend 1 that legalization of that kind of gam bling would be an encouragement to “numbers”, horse-race-betting, rou lette, games of chance of all sorts. He is mistaken, evidently never having seen the system in operation. Where a government sets itslf up as a gambling house proprietor, it is as hostile to any clandestine gam bling as our Treasury Department is to tariff smuggling. It is furious at any attempt to infringe on its mono poly. I have seen the system worked in tensively in the Argentine Republic, where there is a government lottery. There also is another gambling con cession. farmed out privately to the Jockey Club—racing. Between these two set-ups (governmental and gov crmpentally authorized) Argentina is policed to. a bee’s knee. It is danget otis to conduct even a little social poker game there or a bridge evening. Ditto other countries where restrict ed gambling is legalized for govern mental profit. It is the rule in Latin America. The game is fair, all right—gam blerishly considered. But socially speaking? Winners Are Losers. . Lottery winners do not make much, ( anyway. I The grand prizes are substantial, but the tickets usually are split up among a multiplicity of holders; no individual winner gets more than enough for one good ‘‘bust”. Years ago, a certain Nicholas Mi hanovich won at Buenos Aires on a single grand ticket. He got a hugh bunch of dough at that shot, invested it judiciously and now the multimil lionaire Milhanovich Line controls shipping up and down the Plate Parana and Paraguay rivers from Buenos Aires to Asuncion. That one lucky shot is the only one I ever heard of in connection with Latin American government lotteries. But it has advised them a billion dollars’ worth. I think it is a cheap way of making mongy for a government. LaOuardia Claims Sum Not Enough (Continued from page One.) Virginia, who will handle the ap propriation measure on the Housr floor, said the sub-committee would meet tomorrow afternoon to discus' the bill, and probably would submit it to the full committee Wednesday. Just before closing its hearings, the sub-committee recalled Colonel F. C. Harrington, WPA administrator, who said afterwards he “hoped” the ap propriation committee would approve amount requested by the Presi dent. 'there was some sentiment in the committee, however, for reducing the amount. Asked what he could say about the situation, Woodrum remark ed: “Well, it being somewhat of a judi cial matter, I think I ought to be a little cautious about it.” He added that no testimony had been given in opposition to a supple mentary WPA fund. Caught Cold? To relieve distress—rub y throat, chest, back With PAGE FIVE CHURCH SOCIETIES ANNOUNCEMENT State Fair Report Shows Large Profit Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. G. LYNN NISBET Raleigh, Jan. 9. —Financial report of the 1938 State Fair will be released early this week. Advance informa tion of the actual figures is not ob tainable, but net profit to the State will more than double the seven thousand dollars realized in 1937. A major issue before the agricultural committees and the board of agricul ture two years ago. the success of the 1937 and 1938 exposition under State operation seems to have taken the fair “out of politics” and there is no indication of sentiment to return it to private control. If any legislation is requested with respect to the fair, it will be along the line of making the facilities at the fair grounds available for all-the year use. ' The Department of Agriculture will ask for the legislature to provide a set-up for co-ordinated matketing fa cilities for minor crops. This is line with the recommendations in Gover nor Hoey’s message, and according to CommUcsioner Scott, will take the pressure off cotton and tobacco. “North Carolina growers of truck, fruit and garden crops are losing thousands of dollars each year to other states, just because those states are organized for marketing,” said Commissioner Scott. “It is not our purpose to ask for any new organiza tion, co-operative or otherwise, but for enabling legislation that will per mit our department to work with any existing agency. In this effort the State Department and State College are working together, and for the first time in several years we come to the session of the general assem bly without evidence of conflict in purpose or aims between the two ma jor agricultural agencies of the State". The last statement has reference to the recurring requests of State College for a larger share of the De partment’s fund for experiment sta tion work. State Budget, Coming Up Tonght, To Be Greater (Continued trom Page One.) 000 of funds from the gasoline tax, a sum which will be called “diversion” by some and “application of the sales tax to gasoline sales” by others, in cluding the governor. Schools To Get More Appropriations recommended for school purposes will go upward by some $3,000,000 for the biennium, this sum to take care of the regular teach ers’ salary increments, the proposed new increments for nine and ton yeair teachers, and the establishment of the twelfth grade. t Recommendations for highway ap propriations will include funds to: pay fifty additional patrolmen and for an educational highway safety campaign, this last getting probably $50,000, possibly less but certainly nb more. : There will be no radical changes in tlje ordinary operating budgets of the various State departments, with softie of them taking slight cuts in total appropriations largely because of the fact that they have been moved into State buildings and will not have rent to pay. • The Department of Agriculture sought considerably higher appropria tions for a marketing program and will likely get at least part of what it asked. This was indicated by the governor’s statement that marketing is the outstanding problem of North Carolina agriculture. There is not likely to be any mark ed increase in the recommended ex penditures for the State’s share of the social security program (old age assistance, and dependent children’s benefits), though there is some chance that real efforts will be made in the Assembly to centralize the adminis tration of these funds under the State, .thereby making payments uni form in the 100 counties, whereas they now run from below $5 per month to more than sls. On the whole, the budget report is certain to follow the governor’s phil oposhy, expressed in his address to the Assembly, that economy in gov ernment is still a virtue. It will give substantial increases to certain vital agencies, but will surely not embark the State on any ambi tious spending program likely to throw its balance into any unsettled state.
