In event the Federal Social Se curity act should not be repealed what would happen to the North Carolina net? 2. What was North Carolina’s posi tion in establishing the term of Presi dent? 3. When were circuit riders first au thorized by the Methodists in North Carolina? 4. What complaint was made about the pay of the legislators in 1804? 5. What was the outcome of the Craig-Pritchard joint campaign for U. S. Senate in 1902? 6. What was the organization. ‘•Heroes of America?” ANSWERS. 1. It would be repealed automati cally. The governor would be requir ed to issue a proclamation announc ing the repeal. All unexpended taxes paid under this act would then go to the general fund of the State. 2. The delegation to the constitu tional conventional at Philadelphia in 1787 favored a longer term and in eligibility for re-election. When the four-year term was adopted North Carolina was the only state to vote against it. 3. In 1800. No parsonages were pro vided and salaries of only $64,000 were paid. 4. It was complained that members of the legislature had increased their pay too much. Under the crown they had drawn per diem of six shillings and six pence, or about seventy five cents. By 1804 they had increased their pay to thirty shillings, with ten shillings being worth a dollar. This “extravagancy” was sending .he State along the “road of destruction.” 5. Both of them were defeated and Lee S. Overman was elected. Locke Craig and Jeter C. Pritchard had can vassed the State in an exciting cam paign, both seeking the election, which was then at the hands of the legislature. 6. It was a secret political society of the Reconstruction period and more generally known as the Red Strings. It was organized among the whites, and was active in support of Governor Holden and his carpetbag cohorts. Its allied organization among the Negroes was the Union League.

DAILY DISPATCH THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2,1939 - terrible, unavoidably, but Yankee as sistance did something toward tak ing the curse off, and all Latin Amer ica knows it. To be sure, Latin folk east of the Andes are little subject to earth quakes, but they can have other va rieties of large-scale misfortunes, and Uncle Samuel has had a chance to fig ure as a valuable friend in need when ever required. Oh, it was an awful earthquake, but. if there had to be one, it wasn’t un timely. Pan-Americanly speaking. Coming after that Lima conference, in its way it could not have been im proved on. Nazi-Fascists Squelched. Although eastern South America does not have earthquakes, it does have totalitarian activities. One of these has just been squelch ed by President Vargas of Brazil, with the arrest of Pinio Salgado, who was trying to stir up an Integral Action revolution in Sao Paulo Sao Paulo, though not Brazil’s capital (which is Rio de Janeiro) is the republic’s prin cipal city (about the size of Chicago), and Sao Paulo state is a big enough tail to wag the bulk of the Brazilian dog. Therefore a Sao Paulo rebellion would be bad business for the whole country. The Integral Action party is partly Fascist, partly Nazi. But it is mainly Nazi, because southern Brazil (Sao Paulo) is perdominantly Ger man. Thus this thing had it eventuat ed, would have given Germany a dan gerous Brazilian foothold dangerous from the standpoint of the United States. President Vargas is pretty much a dictator himself. However, he is not pro-German or pro-Italian; he is pro- U. S. A. And he has Salgado and Salgado’s chief lieutenants in jail. Not So Bad. All this is tolerably satisfactory. Uncle Sam has had a “favorable” earthquake on the South American west coast, in Chile. He has had an undesirable would-be revolution sup pressed on the South American east coast, in Brazil. Brazil and Chile are two of South America’s three most important coun tries. The third is Argentina. The Ar gentine Republic is rather cold toward us. Primarily it is native; then Ger man, British and Italian, mixed. The rest of Latin America is fair ly friendly to us now—possibly ex cepting Mexico, which clashes with us a bit over the question of oil. That issue remains to be adjusted. Incidentally, Latin America is in de fault to us on certain commercial loans. Senator Hiram Johnson does not want us to be allowed to make any further Latin American advances until those obligations are met. But they are different from our claims against Europe. Europe deliberately has repudiated its war debts to the U. S. A. In Latin America, we simply made some had investments, and lost out, just as occasionally we do at home. We patriotically advanced sev eral billions to our European asso ciates in war time, and they dumped us. We are supposed to use some busi ness judgment in making Latin-Amer ican loans.

By LYNN NISBET Raleigh, Ftib. 2. —Wiih one .bill for outright repeal of everything that sounds like “absentee” and upwards of 20 loca. bills exempting counties from the absentee vote I.W in pri maries, the House Elections Commit tee is really going to work Friday morning. Anticipating a hard day, the committee starts early and will assemble at 9:£o. If present plans are carried through, everything be fore the committee will be consider ed then, and a sub-committee or two named to study specia. phases of pro ’ posed legislation .• ... If the absentee ballot survives that inquisition, there will be many sur prised people hereabouts. Chairman George W. Phillips, of the House Committee on Elections and Election Laws, would not he disp eased if the board of elections program was en acted in toto. He rather expects that his committee will eliminate the absentees in primaries and retain them in general elections. The ef fect of this will be, in the opinion of some legislators, to say that it is ah right to steal from* Republicans, hut not from Democr \ts. Most of them may actually believe that, but they haven’t the candor of Elections Board Member Be l, v.'ho last week said the western Democrats had to keep the rlbsentee privi ege or get beat. Os two ervils, he chooses the lesser —and would keep the absentees working. On the Senate side there isn’t near ly so much expressed sent’ment for election law -reform. The Senate has only one bill, that' by the one-time McDonald chieftain;'Willie Lee Lump next week to adopt an ordinance set ting up regulations for the new elec tric signals which have just been in stalled here. February 2, 1919. The home work of the students of the city schools was to be continued during the present week as a result of the suspension of the regular class room exercises during that period.

Stone has recovered from a recent slight illness which con fined him to his home, and is now able to be out again. * kin, for outright repeal of absentee voting. Chairman Morphew, who has repeatedly expressed satisfaction with the status quo in western elec tion procedure, does not expect to call his Senate committee together until they get the House bills. Indi cations now are that they’ll reach the Senate early next week. If the House is too drastic, Senator Mor phew’s boys will a.leviate damage to absentees as much as possible. February 18 Deadline For Tobacco Crop College Station, Raleigh, Feb. 2. — Farmers who plan to grow flue-cured tobacco in 1939 for the first time since 1934 must file application with their county agricultural conservation com mittee not later than February 18 to receive an acreage allotment and Star of the Party * >, Wjm jjf - j 4: .*■ ~ Mrs. James Roosevelt A proud and happy mother, Mrs. cuts * Piece of the jjant birthday cake which featured W»M re^A ei ! tßbirthda y ball the Waldorf-Astoria, in New York City. qualify for benefit payment, it was announced todaay by E. Y. Floyd. AAA executive officer „at State Col lege. Five other qualifications for an al lotment must be met by a farmer, Floyd said: (1) Experience in erow ing tobacco for two years or more during the past five years; (2) living on the farm and, if he is not the own er, is buying the farm or renting it for cash and supplying the machinery workstock, and financing the opera tion of the farm entirely independent of the owner; (3) a tobacco curing barn on the farm or being built on the farm; (4) farming being the chief source of income upon which the ap plicant depends for his livelihood and the particular farm for which the al lotment is requested is the only farm owned or operated by him on which flue-cured tobacco is produced; and (5) 15 acres or more of cropland on the farm. The total acreage allotment for new flue-cured tobacco farms for 1939 will be limited to not more than 8.800 acres, or one percent of the national acerage allotment. “Old tqbacco farms already are cap able of producing annually, under nor mal conditions, over one-third more tobacco than the present annual world consumption of U. S. flue-cured to bacco,” Floyd pointed out. “Therefore, the new* farm allotments are intended to take care of the limited number of cases where tobacco farmers have lost the farms they had previously operated or are just beginning opera tion for themselves on farms which tobacco has been grown in recent years.” Powell Board Strikes Snag With Senate (Continued from page One.J the Unemployment Compensation Commission had written the amend ments and that they “were approved by the social security board at Wash ington.” The short session of December, 1936 hadn’t been away from Raleigh long before questions arose as to the wis dom of some features of the bill it had adopted at the instigation of Washington officials. Later it de veloped that the haste was not ne cessary. Some other states did not act for months—end got just as much as North Carolina did. Eariy last year there was much criticism of the way the commission, headed by Charlie Powell, was handling unem ployment benefit payments. Indigna tion meetings were held over the state and threats that “the next legis .ature will get the commission set up” were frequently heard. Then all that died down, payments began to go out more smoothly and promptly, commission employees and benefici aries gained better understanding of operations, and the legislature came with the threat removed. Not only that but last week both houses passed quickly a bill exempt ing employees from the merit exami nations required under the original law. Then the joint committee re ported favorably on all changes ask ed by the commission. But there are sti.l some sore spots. Messages of protest have been coming in. It may even develop that a public hear ing will be requested. That’s why action was deferred until after the legislators had been home for the week-end. !
