Turns Now To National Problems Relieved of his duties as governor of the state of New York at the begin ning of the new year, President-elect Roosevelt is now giving his full time to national problems, to the selection of men f<>r his cabinet and in confer ence :ivis, who has been .Mr. Hoover's princ:pal emissary in Europe, spent several days in conference with Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Davis is a Democrat, and an admirer and supporter of the Incoming .Preside -lit. lie is understood to have \ a comprehensive picture of i the Kuropean situation and the nc- 1 easily for early net ion not only in the matter of consideration of the war debt's but also the disarm.une.nl flonfemice and the international monetary conference.

Washington i.< st:ll applauding Sec- . retary Stimson's rcp'y to the inquiry I transmit t cd front Ihe new Premier: of France through Ambassador Kdge. The head of the French government asked the Ambassador to find cut from his government what steps were ; necessary to open up the discussion of distribution. Mr. Kdge passed thf | question on to the State Department and Mr. St inison replied in effect: "The first tieccssnrv step is ? for France to pav us that $19,000,000 ... - ..-i- /... - tlmt wag due on December 15th. After t hoy have paid tlmt then vvc wil talk about t lio its! of it." ' The French government is ven milch concerned over the effect in America o! it s failure to pay. Il ir not going too far to any llt.it Kng land 's slock is higher than it has heen in mnnv years, ami France's is lower. Kcports revived hy the For eign Trade Bureau of the Department of Commerce imlicitc that .something: like a national boycott against French goods is being promoted among the -women of Aiim'wwi, that many mil lions of dollars for Fremiti garments ladies' underwear and the like have been cauVcilid, and that th" tourist travel, to France h:is been sharply re duced. No Elaborate Inaugural Mr. Koos.cvelt insists upon sim plicity in connection with his iuang iii. -it ion. lie lias said that this is no time for the states to spend immense suns sending in National Guard t roups to take part in an inaugural par.ide, ami that he doesn't see the need of an expensive and elaborate inaugural bal'. He probably will nc cept a" escort of the Philadelphia City troop, tin impressive squadron whose black horses and black hnrse hnir plumes in their silver helmets have been .1 picturesque feature of Presidential inaugurations since Lin coin's tinH. The City Trooji is some times called "The President's Own.'* Its function has been to .escort the incoming and outgoing Presidents as they ride together from the White House to thr Capito', and then serve as a body-guard for the new Presi dent as in> goes back to the White House alone.

With a view to capitalizing its proximity to tin* ({real Snokv Mountains National park, those in charge of Fairfield inn, at Sapphire, arc doing considerable landscaping on the grounds and gen eral repair work on the hostelry. Landscape work is being done on the lake front, on the spacious lawns and approaches, with a cobble stone entrance, in which native stone will be used, being erected at I he en trance on Highway No. 28.

TODAY and TOMORROW (By Frauk Parker Stockbridge) Surpluses . . . Now Actual I think most of our present troubles can be traced to the fact that the rest of the world is unable or un willing to buy the surplus products of our farms. I do not believe this exjwii market for our wheat, cotton, tobacco, live stock and other farm products is ever going to come back. 1 have myself seen how Italy is mak ing itself independent of our tobnceo, cotton mid wheat, and the other na tions are doing the same thing/ There has been no increase in the average yield of wheat per acre, it still stands for the whole nation at LU bushels. But in the live years from 1025 to 1930 the aertugc sown to wheat in America increased by 21,000,000 acres. It is very clear t?? uie that the only solution of the faro: problem lies in reducing the quantity of farm production. Murphy . . . Farmer-Editor My friend, Frederick E. Murphy, publisher of the Minm>a|>olis Tribune is n real farmer as well as a real newspaper > man. ITe has done more than any other man to bring the [state of Minnesota up to the front rank in agricultural prosperity. Mr. Murphy has put forth sals for the cut. Whih? the liberal cut is perhaps unfair, and the bill hi Inadequate, in ?ome re- ? speets, it was the best that could be done in the short time in which thero was to act. It is probable that tho Assembly will later pass a joint res olution, covering alt the Constitu tional officers, stating that it is the sense of the General Assembly that each officer, naming them officc by offiee, sh.mld not draw more than n specified amount. It is thought thut few officers will have tin* nerve to draw raoM than the Genoa rl Assembly thittks ihty [should, mid has bo resolved. It WOtild bo th0 per cent of the employees haVfl been dispensed with. Neither TTouse ' not Senate even employed an assist ant scrgeant-at-arms. Speaking of that office, Jackson county folkt should see how gracefully and ef ficiently .Tolin Xorlf.n is dispatching his new duties in the Senate. Governor Khringhatis struck the , note of economy, that had already been echoing through the halls of the legislature. Lieutenant-Governor Graham and Speaker Harris arc both watching the expenditures of their offices very jlosely. Thad Kure in the house and I/oHoy Martin in tho Senate are doing tho same things with the clerkships. And, speaking of the employees; the city of Raleigh is beset with an army of unemployed, from all parts of the State, looking for jobs, clerkships, or what havo you. They are of the faithful, but oven that doesn't go very far in se curing a government job in th? frame in which all branches of tho government is, since the legislators and Mr. Khringhaus got to town. The capital of the State was great ly shocked with the intelligence of the death of former President Cool ? (Continoed on page 2); j
