Waynesville Man Named
For Highway Commission;
Jeffress Again Is Chairman
TODAY and
TOMORROW
(By Frank Paiker Stockbridge)
SANITY . . . comes with work
One result of the depression ha
been to bring: :i good many ]>eoph
back to a sane outlook on life ami
the world they live in. Thai is par
ticularjy tine among young: men ant!
women who never had to think about
where the money came from.
1 know a good many of that kind,
and nearly all of them are finding
the kind of life where they have to
do things lor themselves mueh nion
satisfying than an existence in which
everything was done for them.
That has always been tine, that
jthe only things worth having arc
j the things one works for. . Rut :i
I good many people didn't know that
until tltey were forced to work.,
DOUQ-LAS ... he can figure
If and when Mr. Woodin resigns
the man slated to take his place :I
Secretary of the Treasury is Lewi?
Douglas, Director of the Budget.
AIr. Douglas has had the vesper 1
of official Washington for a good
many years. He was the lone Con
gressman trom Arizona for several
terms, and thai made him a much
more ini)v>rtant figure than eithe;
of the Senators from that Slate. I f<
fought a 'valiant but losing fight
asrainsH the .Bon He r Dam
which made him a lot of enemies but
a lot, more friends.
W hen Lew Douglas gets into action
he fights along a straight line unti'
he wins or is licked. And when ii
comes to figures, he can make their
behave like nobody's business.
SECURITY ... a doubtful course
I have just got word that tin
Association for Old age Security hat
changed its name to the Association
for Social Security. Having succeed?
ed in getting half the states to adopt
old pension laws, the men behind
this movement are now starting oil!
to get legislation which will provide
as they put it "social insurant I
against old age dependency, and un
employment."
This is a significant movement, foi
it indicates, as many other signs ol
Oic tines do, that we are movinp
toward a socialized commonwealth
-such. as now exists in England. Tin
burden of taxation of the competent
to support the incompetent wit
..teadily increase, until everybody ha.'
been levelled down to the nana
economic status. That is the direc
tion in which we are heading.
Of course, high wages and security
at taxpayers' expense can t go to ;
get her. The justification of high j
wages is that the worker should b< i
enabled to save something out of hi; ;
wages, against illness, unemployment ;
or old age. That has been our Amer
ican idea. The European idea is t?
justify low wages by providing foi
public can* of the worker in time of
stress.
I don't like the European system
It destroys ambitio and incentive
to crood wr-rk. So* ir later it wil'
| destroy th<- na' 'at adopt it.
But I'm. nfvai*' what we're
heading for.
BRAKES . . . and accidents

Frank \Y. Miller of \\ aynesville
was appointed qs a member of the
Highway and Prison Commission for
this district, by (iovernor Khringhaus
011 Saturday.
.Mr. Miller succeeds Will Neal of
Marion.
At tin- -sine time the (iovernor
appointed Mr. Miller, lie api>ointed
E. 15. .h i t l i s.;, present Chairman of
the- Highway Commission, as chair
man til' the riowly-croati <1 Highway
and Piis.m Commission.
Haywood county lias been most
fori una te in the appointments and
in holding State offices. Mr. Jett
ress i> a native of Haywood. Mr.
Miller is from Haywood, giving the
| ?liairmaiisliip and one niemher to
I native sons of Haywood. \V. T. Lee,
of Haywood, lias been a chairman of
the Corporation Commission for
many years. The solicitor of this
judicial dii-iriet lives in Haywood.
It so happens that, duo to the ro
tation agreement, the present State
-enator fn-ni this district is from
Haywood. When Judge \\ alter I'..
Moore laid down his working tools,
last winter, and passed on to his
reward, (iovernor Khringhaus inline"
?liately appointed Felix K. Alley. of
Haywood ;is his successor; and the
(iovernor again went to Haywood to
make his appointment on the High
way and. Prison Commission.
1\ tally, Haywood has been most
fortunate. The only time that his
excellency has had an opportunity
to make str. appointment to a major
office in these parts, that he over
looked Haywood, was when he ap
pointed Mr. Holler, oi Rutherford,
way down easi of the Itidge, on the
School Commission, and, so far as
is known, no Haywood citizen had
any aspirations in that direction.
It is an unusual thing for the
and solicitor of the judicial
district to be lroni the same nounty,
and a count \ that is thus honored,
is considered as having its full share
the political [tower; but when the
honors oommue to fall to the same
?onnty, it is considered as being more
than fortunate.
I There is no especial kiek again-i
! Mr. Miller, it is hoped that he wilt
.ake a larg; view of the hig job that
tie now holds, and will hold tli
?seales of justice to the several see
tions of th:- district to an even keel:
'nit there were many people in the
list rict who felt that Ilavwood had
-already been sufficiently honored,
j nd that the ends of political justice
o the counties that nominated
?>rnor Khringhaus could be better
net by dividing up such honors a
his Exeelhucy had to hand out.
In fact, most people believed lliat
lack^on had the job in the bag on
Friday irovning. until something hap
>osied thai evening to "Upset the ap
ple cart nnd people are wondering
who up>el it, and why.
Tl would have pleased the district
?nightilv for the Jackson man to
have been appointed; ami it would
at the same time, have been giving
reeognitio-i to this county that ga\<
