One of them, who will play an important part if the President's pro ject of reclaiming till the nation's I waste lands goes through, is the Sec- ? rotary of the Interior, Harold L. j Jokes Mr. Ickes jg a Republican, al- j though lie jumped the parly fence in' 1912 to follow Theodore Itoo>ev -It :n the Progressive campaign. His job lies mainly in the West, although his department has charge of the (Jovern [ment Hospital for tin Insane at Wash lington and of the T'reedincn's Hos pital, nlso maintained here by Uncle ^Saiii for Negro*. The General Land Office, the Geo logical Survey, the Nut'ouul Park Service, the Bureau of Indian Affairs the office of Education and the Re e'amairtttion Service are the princi pal vctiviiies of the Interior Depart ment. One of Mr. Ickos' first appo:nt j inents indioated thnt he is not g;>ing to let politicians of either party ri'ii his department. This was the appoint ment of .Tobn Collier as Commissian er of IiuVan Affairs. Mr. Colli ~r l"c for many years been regarded as the foremost authority on the American Indian, and the active head of the Society of Friends of the Tndiwl. As Mr. Ickes taid in Announcing his ap pointment: "The Commissioner ousbt | to be the representative of the In d:ans themselves. He should bn their ! advocate, fighting for their interests |?d pleading their cause." (By John Parris, Jr.) Pians ore rapidly being ma do at tho (,'. J. Harris Community hospi tal to observe National Hospital Day May 12th and also tho sixth anniver sary of the hirth of the C. J. Harris Community Hospital which was found ed in 1927 on the 15th of May. For tho first time in the history of hu local hospital, National Hospital Day will be celebrated in an appro priate way. Plans have not been ful ly made ut the present. It will be "open house' ' for ;thc hospital and everybody in the coun ty, and the western part of the state, is cordially invited to be present at the hospital on May 12th. ( A special invitation is extended to the mothers whose babies were born in the hospital, to be present with their babies. National Hospital Day will be cele brated throughout the United States, i Canada and several foreign count res. JKach year th re become a much lar |gi?r and more enthi!s;astie throng who eclebruto National Hospital Day. j National Hospital Pay is liuwro this community and section* but once the program is put ou it will be n liv ing memory to the service that lios pitals give to the jn-ople of tho com munity and sect ion. Someone has said "Onr hospitals pays dividends dividends in human lives." And that is indeed an appropriate keyuote for Nat onal Hospital Day. Nutional Hospital Day is a day when people throughout the world pay tribute to that splendid woman, Florence Nightingale, in whose hon or the day was established. Dr. A. Jt. Hazard, superintendent of the E^s ton Hospital, Easton, punn. jays,. IE I know of ho other way that we can pay more sin 'ere tribute to that, nurse who was a publicist f rst than by giving tremendous impetus to this program this ymr." There has liecn no moratorium upon the service to huii anil y by the hos pita|s during t his economic rris:s. And Natioutl Hospital Day will be nn outstanding opportunity to nquaint the public with the ta>k that the C. .T. Harris Community hospital and other hospitals throughout the wor!d have* to contend with and it will also give way to show of the stupendous burden that the staff and muses of the C. ?!. Harris Community hospital, have borne ever giving an inr;t ;ised ! sacrifice of t:me and sen'ice. The r. .1. Harris C'onuv unity Hos pital has not hoarded the fc'.dd of human kindness. They have sp.nt it | more freely. National Hospital Day | is not only a day wh?n the prob'emai of the hospital can be brought lie fore the public, but it is a day when , the thanks of the hospital can he I given to the public for its support and is a time when the public can in vestigate the needs of the hospital j and give expression to a high appre ciation of the tremendous crratuitoup nervines of the C. J. Hariris Commun ity Hospital staff and its nurses.

Wi ll, the lion erai AssonJny is finishing the lloth day of the session, dragging wearily toward the end, which .s not yet in sight. The major legislation i* he hind; but the biggest job of uli is not finished, that of finding the money with which to 1. nance the business of the State for the next two years. The twelve million dollar deficit has been funded by the issuance of bonds, but there is still, >o the ex l>erts tell usf approximately J?lOtOtH? 000 to be raised, over and above the items in the Revenue bill that hav0 been, agreed upon. 'llie no use completed the fumi ng bill, last week, alter, day- of ton am! sometimes acrimonious deoate, ami sent it over to tne Senate. That body has been worrying over the thing all week, and it hasn't even come up for first retorting. The Senate sent it to the commit tee on finance Friday. The committee promptly eliminated many amendments that the house had put into the bill, and reported it out on Monday in practically the same form that is first came to the House from the committee weeks ago. The house had sought to recapture from the corporation* at least a. part of the ad valorem relief that all property owners in the state aro getting through the 15c. removal and through the elimination of special and county school taxes. The franchise taxes on telephone companies, .express eon.pan ies, railroads, telegraph companies, and the like were raised as a recap ture tax. A kilowatt hour tax of 1-2 a mill was levied upon power. Each of these was cut out by the Senate committee and the Senate has sus tained the action of the comm'ttee. The House, after a memorable bat tle, adopted a two per. cut general sales tax. The Senate committee rais ed it to 3 per cent. But the Senate as a body is still arguing over it. Op ponents of the sales tax see a chance to defeat the measure in the Senate, by the adoption on a luxury tax, or something else. Senator Hinsdale is proposing the luxury tax, and made la powerful plea for it in the Senate this afternoon. Senator Fraueis, it is said, will in troduce in the Senate* in case a Oen leral Sales tax is adoptd, the amend incut offered in the IIou>e by repre sentative Tompkins. The amendment ] would relieve from taxation m<at, flour, corn meal, the lower pri -ed clothings, cheap iiHuiture, medicine for the sick folks, and the products |of the North Carolina farms, as well las the tools and implements used b\ 'the farmers in tilling the so 1. Milk for the babies would have be?n ex empted, as well as milk for the grown ') folks. A roll cull vote was demanded when the amendment was being con sidered in the House and the amend ? ment lost. T expert to bring1 it home with me and have it framed to hang in my office as a testimonial that I tried to keep the necessities of life and the products of the farms of North Carolina from being subject to taxation. Senator Francis says that he will carry on the same light over in I hi: senate. Now, just a word about the local legislation that has been passed for Jackson county: A bill was passed sometime ago, "'authorizing the county commissioner^ lo assume the Dillsboro township road bonds. Thin was done because the township has paid off the bonds, and the county has spent the money. Therefore^ it wouldn't have been fair for thetow nship to have paid the debt t twice, and it is fair for the eouny, which got the benefit of the money to pay the bonds. j A bill was introduced and passed an! homing the commissioners of the 'county to pay the Register of Deeds s7<M) for making out the tax books. The practice in the county for many years has been for the Register of Deeds to make out the tax books, and this is the lowest price he has been paid for the job in many years. Last year the register, I am informed, was paid $1000 for making out the lax list) and $600 for his services asj clerk to the board of commissioners. The act will reduce the amount of money which lu- will receive from the county by ?'f'OOO. 1 A bill was passed authorizing the ( commissioners to pay the costs ol' the ?justice of (he peace and the airoting j officer in oases where the defendants jaii' convicted of crime in a justice jeoiirt, and sentenced to serve cither, jin the jail or upon the roads, and j I where the defendants cannot be made! |to pay the costs. This was done be- j ( cause nobody should expert the of- j ficers to w ork for nothing, and the ! county will not be liable unless the costs cannot be gotten from the de fendants and unless the defendants are sentenced to serve terms in pris ( son or on the mad. Another bill was introduced author i'.insr the countv commissioners, with the consent of the county government Vommissioiiers, to levy not more than f?e additional to the present county l!?\y. The commissioners state that it wjll prob.'bly not be necessary to levy more than of the :>c additional au thorized and it cannot be levied un less both the commissioners of the county and the county government commission in Raleigh agree that it is absolutely necessary. This was don0 in order that there will be no coadi City Election Next Tuesday Next Tuesday morning Sylva vot ers will go to lie polls to vote for a mayor and five aldermen. Interest has increased in the past few days until there is quite a bit of interest being shown over the coming elec tion. Two tickets ? a Democratic and Republican?have beeu put out which is causing suite a hit of interest. The present hoard, C. C". Buchanan, may or, Charles Price, (i rover Wilkes, W. K. (irindstaff, K. L. Wilson and J. ('. Allison, aldermen, will run for re election. t The Republican ticket is being headed by Dr. Charles Z. Candler for mayor, and the candidates for alder men are J. S. lligdon, T. H. Barrett, ft. Iv. Bess, Cyrus llasmuson, and II. |E. Battle. GOUNTY P. T. A, HERE MAY 12 Dr. W. P.

At that, there will be an apprecia ble reduction in taxes in the county ! lex! year. The 15c. for State school purposes has been removal.
