TODAY and
TOMORROW
(By Frank Uarker Stockbridge)
Salaries
A lot of fuss has been made over
the salaries paid to executives of the
American Cotton Co-operative Asso
ciation. That one man should draw
$75,000 a vear seems unfair to little
minded people who do not recognize
the fact that sonic men have greater
ability than others. No man draws a
bijjf salary very. long unless hi earns
it.
Under i Socialist System every
body would draw the-warne i>av, no
matter what his work. The inevitable
result would lie that nobody would
do any more work llian he had to do
to hold his job, and before long there
would not he any jobs.
fSoiue day the United States is go
ing to wake up to the fact that our
public executives are grossly under
paid. We pay the President of the
United States $75,000 a year, and
impose 011 him the responsibility
which in all other nations is shared
by a do/.ci or more men.
Inheritance .)
In the old feudal days all proper
ty belonged to the King- The King
let certain of his subjects occupy
land and iiccuinnlate property^ byU
Wfieu ttiey d**?>the property reverfce<l|
to the crown. The underlying theory'
of inheritances today is much the
same. A dead man owns nothing, but
nations and states, by law, permit
him to make a will telling how he
wants his property distributed after
he has passed away, and in the ab
sence of a will, laws specify that his
relations shall have the "property.
< Taxes on inheritances are the fair
est, (d' all taxes. They take nothing
from any living person which that
person has earned. Except for rea
sonable allowances for widows and |
dependent children, tEene is 110
sound social or economic objection,
as I see i'., to inheritance taws run
ning- i:n to a hundred percent of the
ostate, on estates ever a given value.
There would be no complaint about
heavier inheritance taxes except from
the heirs of the very rich. It is"not
Socialism, but good Americanism, to
let .every man accumulate just as
much as Jiy can earn while he lives,
but to take pains tha.t nobody gets
very much money that he hasn't
earned.
Treasure
Reports from Ouvaquil, Ecuador,
say that many gold relics of the
ancient Inea Kings have been found
in the mountains ear the Columbian
border. Nobody can guess Iioav many
thousands of millions of dollars
worth of gold are still hidden in
caves of the Andies. When Fizarro,
I the Spanish conqueror of South
America, robbed Atahualpa, the last
of the Inca Kings, he obtained
enough solid gold to iill^what he de
scribed as a very large 1*00111, but it
has always been believed that Ata
hulapa managed to secrete the larger
part of his treasure.
There is little doubt that great
stores of gold are still, hidden in the
land of the ancient /ncas, and it is
impossible to imagine any more ex
citing treasure hunt than to search
for it.
WILL HAVE DANCING AT
CULLOWHEE SCHOOL
Cullowhoe, Dec. 17.?At a special}
call meeting of the board of trus
tees of Western Carolina Teachers
College, held here Thursday morn
ing, at 11 o'clock, the trustee went
on record as approving mixed danc
ing in the dormitories of the college
under strict supervision of the fac
ulty. v
The board decided that the dances
may be held at such times and
places and with such restrictions as
Hoover Plans Hit
Hard In Congress
(Special To The .Tourral)
F
Washington, Dec. 22 (Autocaster)?
The adjournment of Congress over the
Christmas holidays is {jiving thecoun
try at laree a chance to size up the
two house s. 'The net result appears to
be that w*> can .expect the greatest
show on earth \vhen the niemberB
resume their labors. Enough intima
tion was given in the few days be
Ifore the holidays to indicate that the
favorite sport for the next few
months of the nation's law-givers will
ho President baiting. It looks certain
that anything Mr. Hoover proposes
will be opposed in vigorous terms,
and that practically everything he
has said or done since bis inaugura
tion barring only perhaps his Thanks
giving Proclamations, will come in for
i^nstinted abuse.
So far as Congress can be said to
be in harmony on anything right now,
tin* our subject on which a majority
vote caft always he relied may be
expressed in the slogan "Down with
Hoove?\"And it is not being express-'
ed in language quite so refined - a*.
favorite one in Congressional .inter
views, not even being confined to the
opposition, jmHtical observers here be
lieve that the resident's personal and
political enemies will lake it out large
ly ih conversation. They have seen
too manv similar conditions in the
? ?
j >ost to lie convinced by the u pros r
against Mr. Hoover,;
They figure that, when it comes
down to action and voting, at. least
on the fundamental program of re
duced, expenditures and increased tax
ation, they will swing into line. They
can be expected, however, to dross
up the new legislation in their own
words ami endeavor to make it ap
pear as their own child, entirely dif
ferent from anything Mr. Hoover has
suggested. The President is playing
the game in his endeavor to have nec
essary legislation passed, by being
careful not to propose anything but
the essentials, which all are agreed
tifXMi, avoiding any statements that
might be taken as dictating methods.
As a result, it appears unlikely that
any political capital will be made of
any of the President's message to
Congress since is convened.
There is 110 question that all Con
gressmen .ire convinced that new tax
ation and drastic cuts in government
al expenditures are demanded. The
battles that will-lit fought will all be
on the various plans that will be of
fered, and the members can be .ex
pected to fight each other fully as
hard as they attack the President.
The Senate, which is prohibited
from originating financial legislation,
the president and faculty of the|
college shall determine.
The decision of t"he board followed
the presentation of a petition To the
faculty several weeks ago by a large;
majority of the students wherein j
permission was sought to hold the,
dances. I
At the meeting Thursday, the
Trustees frankly expressed them
selves as having no objection to
mixed dancing among the member3j
of the student body.
In the absence o? Thomas Byrd, of
Asheville, chairman of the board of
trustees, Mrs. Giles Cover, cf An^
drews, vice chairman, presided. Sev-!
eral trustees were absent and it is
planned to consult them in regard
to the dancing plan before it is fin
ally placed in effect.
Prior to 4 he board meeting, Presi |
dent H. T. Hunter, of the college,!
conducted a poll on the dancing prop
osition. The poll mealed that a great j
and has to wait until the House pass
es bills before it can take any action
on them, will find its hands full with
foreign affairs. Not since Senator
Lodge attacked President Wilson for:
Lis foreign policy has there been such
a chance for Senators to drag in the
old fcpectre of "entangling -alliances,"
and they can be expected to run the
game of political fireworks in the
discussion over the payment of war
debts and reparations.
Whether the Senate is going to
make it harder for the United States
to collect its foreign debts or not i3
beyond the power of anybody here to
predict. There is a feeling here that
the Senate, as a whole, is likely to
arouse intense resentment amor
European frtatesmen by their frank
ness over the war debts, but, it is be
ing pointed out on all si<k'?, ii. is
going to he difficult to collect the
money Germany owes us, and the oth
er allied nations, without going to
Ijrnr, an action that is not even rie
tnotely considered possible. None of
the jeountries in the World War have
w- ?
jndgingf by therf repeated expressions
Without force it does not seem likely
that Germany can be matle to pay the
present debts) ami every indication
points to a deep cut in the amount
due.
It appeJTrs more than liEely fhat
the Sonate ?eventually will decide to
find out exactly how much Germany
can afford to pan, and then set in
motion the machinery for collecting
that amount, shaping domestic legis
lation to provide for the required
increase in taxes that will have to
bo levied tw offset sUch reduction. The
failure of Congress Co legislate ap
proval of the Chief Executive's ac
i tion in granting a moratorium to
Germany, which expired on December
115, places that country in the light
I of a defaulter on its obligations, but
i this has been discounted and Con
i
gress' approval, considered'merely as
perfunctory action, ig expected any
! time. ' '
I The Senate is going to hsve its
I greatest difficulties over proposals
! that will be offered that the United
| States become a part of tKe TTorld
j Court, if not of the League of Na
tions itself. The question is one that
! wfil open the floodgates of oratory
| and, it is expected, result in more
'patriotic speeches and flag-waving
J than any similar discussion since tlie
(end of the war. The interjection of
.this question, which can be expected
early, xviii furnish both sides with
splendid campaign^^material even if
it fails to result in as much benefit
to the country as the more pressing
demands for domestic relief.
majority of teachers and college pres
idents of America favor mixed danc
ing in college. The question was put
to a large number of teachers and
college presidents in various parts
o? the country.
A poll was also taken of the par
ents oT th? young women students
iillowhee College and* also of the
county superintendents of education
in the state. A majority of these dis
approved of mixed * dancing in a
teachers' college.
So far as is known here, no other
Western Carolina college wants the
privilege of mixed dancing to mem
bers of the stuflent body.
The board also voted to ask the
State budget office for funds to pro
vide better fire protection facilities
at the college. An additional fire es
cape is needed at the training school
and a sprinkler system Is needed in,
Moore dormitory, the trustees fsid.

weather bureau predicts, however,
that cold?r weather will come by
Christmas day.
Onions ?-re growing in the gar
