( <J At the request of veterans of this couuty, this paper wrote Senator Bailey, some time ago, requesting him to state his position on the im mediate payment of the soldiers' bonus. Senator Bailey intimates that he will not support the Pat man bill, which has ] Kissed the House, but states that he is a supporter of the bill introduced by Senator Tydings, of Maryland. IBs reply follows: Mr. Dan Tompkins, ^ Sylva, N. C.,r, J Dear M r. Tompkins : , >? j i1 Thank you for your conMmMiie|rti<m. I am attaching hereto copy my. .otter to Commander Olive. Ffeaae accept this/ as my answer, peqiflang full development of the foots and ?imwn 'ances of the position of' the fioverr.iiient and its capacity Ur in "r?nse its money payments. \ ? I think we must all cooperate with the view to a program of national unity in this great emergency, i Sincerely yours, J. C. Baaley. Mr. Hubert Olive, Dept. Commander, The American Legion, Lexington, N. C. Dear Mr. Olive: I had hoped to have the Public Works Four Billion Dollar Appropria tion in some sort of definite state before making a commitment on the subject of the payment of the Sol diers' Compensation Cert'fieates im mediately in cash. However, the b:l! has miscarried for the time, and 1 must write to you in view of that fact. I have looked over the proposed legislation providing for paying the veterans. Of all -the legislation before us. I prefer the bill offered by Sen ator Tydings, as H undertftal ' at ... jj ? , in doing this to a very remarkable degree. The Tydings Bfl provides for issuing negotiable bonds of the Got eminent in lieu of the CertiCcPtes, and contemplates the sale of these bonds ?t par. I shou'd not wish to vote for bonds other than bonds bear ing such interest, as will insure the realization of par value by the vet erans. This bi l provides a fair adjust ment with respect to interest charged against veterans borrowing upon their certificates. It further provides that any veteran holding his certifi cate until 1945 would receive the fulf amount of h:s certificate, if no* a little more, and it provides . foi soldiers who are under the necessity of negotiating their certificates for cash for nearf.v the full amount. The adoption of this bill would not in crease tthe indebtedness of the Gov ernment as of 1045. It would not tend to induce in fat ion. and, on the! other hand, it would go far to satis fv the needs of the veterans. V I would greatly appreciate it if you woajd write me your views on the subject of this biH, and I would also be glad if you would send me your observations on the other meas ures pending here concerning the pay ment of the Compensation Certifi cates. Meantime, I assure you of my desire to settle this question in a way satisfactory to the veterans and consistent with the national interests, and it is my judgment that the Tvd ings Bill is the most practicable meas ure before us. I am very strongly ina'ined to commit myself to it. How ever, I wish to make one reservation. I am satisfied fhat the President de- j sires, also, to bring about a satisfac tory settlement, and, since he is the head of the Government, the leader of the people, arid the head of oui Party, I wish to reserve the right to consider favorahTy any measure which he may pult forward. But for this res ervation, I would be glad to commit myself to the Tydings Bill, and in the absence of any settlement to be proposed by the President, I shall support the Tydings Bill. With all good wishes, Sinceerly yours, J. W. Bailey. ?

Make Good Auto Swap - But Law Doesn't Approve Two young men, strangers in these parts, made ah automobile exchange with the Jackson Chevrolet Company, in which they swapped even a 1929 Chevrolet coupe for a brand new 1935 eoaeh, and all unbeknowenst to the local Chevrolet dealer, yesterday. The Chevrolet Mks were busy un loading a oar of automobiles, and this one had been filled with gas and oil and driven for a short tryout, to see that it was in good condition. J. H. Patterson parked it on the street near the Jackson Chevrolet place, leaving the key in the ignition lock. The two young strangers drove up in a 1929 coupe, and parked immed iately behind the new car. They got oat, walked up the street and back, stepped into the new automobile and drove away, leaving the coupe behind. The last that has been heard of the pair, and the Chevrolet, wjkch bore no license plate, was when they aru reported to have left Murphy, on tie Blairsville road, about three o'clock yesterday afternoon. A warning to officers and citizens to be on the lookout for the two and the Chevrolet was broadcast 1 rom W. <S. B., in Atlanta last night. Officials of the Chevrolet tympany think that the coupe may hfve also been stolen. It contained ro?."i maps, a Washington, D. C., police ticket, and Winston-Salem and Urecnsbmo daily ! papers. On it was North Carol 'na 1935 | license plate No. 358-757. P. T. A. HEARS DEAN I CRi) * j Dean W. E.

A 8 mail section of a cold spell of weather strayed off from somewhere in the North weift and gave us a light frost this morning, after nearly two weeks of early summer weather. ? Fishing has been the sport of som<> of our folks lately. Nice strings have been caught in the creek here, in cluding an occasional California trout, varying in size from 12 to 15 inches. It is now apparent that there will be only a small crop of peaches in this section, even if they are nol killed ater. Nfear the ends of thr small limbs the buds are dead, but there are indications of bloom9 on the larger limbs. Court is near at hand, and some of Judge Graham's energy, which clcarcd the Buncombe docket of mon than 200 oases during the recent term will be needed here, as Clerk Cowar informs us that there are more thar 100 criminal cases already on the docket. A Contract ? Then and Now: I have been ruminating this spring or the difference between the conditio* of the people in Jackson county oi the present time and forty years ago Then a young man who did nOt g< to church dressed in broad cloth an<" have a fine fat horse to ride, wit) a good saddle and decorated bridle was the exception to the rule; am1 men, married or single, who did ncl wear broadcloth were dressed in thr best of home miade jeans, woven ir the old fashioned hand looms by the women at home. A Large .proportion of the men 's clothes were tailor made The present writer we'll remember? when the late Mr. Richard Watts, then a young man, sat on his boarr1 cross legged from Monday moraine to Saiturday night, sewing 011 men's suits, while his good wife on a chaw was assistng him. When a suit was finisred, he was paid in cash. The. people everywhere had an abundanc of the best wholesome food. No one thought of a family of able bodied men and women, boys and girls ever coming to want. The farmers then from midsummer to midwinter wen sdlingfat oattle and horses while the wagons and teams? mostly six horse wagons ? were engaged in haul ing to the distant markets flour, apples, bacon, peas, beans, etc. The poorer people, especially the Indians, dug from the mountains large quan tities of ginseng and seneca snake wwt, about the only medicinal herb that were then in demand, but which Witfi feathers, beeswax, fur skins and wool were ready sale at the stores in exchange for goods. Good< then, with the single exception of coffee, were at least 100 per cent higher than they are today, while farm products, wheat excepted, are as high or higher now, than they were at thai time. Yet the people lived and flourished then and want was a-most unknown. Now look at the present condition of our people, want is the rule, comfort the excep tion. Our people are worse fed, worse clothed and their children but little better schooled, though there has been Borne advance on that $ne. Then, on an average it took about three bushels of the farmers' com to buy his wift a calico dress; now he gets it <ft>r one and a half, on an average. Then it took four bushels of corn to buy a btushel of salt, now he can get a bushel and a half of salt for a bushel of corn; and so on pretty mueh thiough the list of necessarie?. Why is this? In a future aiticde I will try to point ouit some of the reasons. Excuse the length of this article, but I wish, Mr. Editor, to first get your readers to thinking. Your* truly, Telahlah. ( By DAN TOMPKINS) Last week it looked as if the pas sage by tiie House of the Financial Appropriations bills, might be the beginning of the end of the present General Assembly, and gave hope to the legislators, who have been serving for a long time now without pay, and paying their own expenses, that they might be going home; but the Senate Finance Committee has knocked the whole hope into a cocked hat, and nobody knows when the Assembly will again begin to the see the light of the Hill of Home. Practically every important amend ment to the Finance Bill that was adopted by the House, after it re ceived the bUS from committee, has been stricken out by the Senate Com mittee, and the paring knife of the Senatorial Committee, headed by Har ris Newman, from New Hanover, is still at work, lopping off the amend ments of the House. Just when and how soon the Com mittee will report to the Senate and that body begin its work on the bill is problematical. Some observers are of hte opinion 'that the Senator* favoring the Hill Liquor Stores Bill, are working to the end that the Fin ance Bill, when completed by tho Senate will be so far short of rais ing the necessary revenue as the House believed that it would, that they will be able to tack Senator Hill's bill onto the Finance Bill as an amendment, with measurable chances of getting it enacted, on the theory that the State needs the "rev enue that would be derived there from. They are hoping, it is said, thatt under thsoe circumstances, the House might pass the bill, if it should come up in that body late enough in the year. The Appropriations Bill, carrying appropriations totaling $31,574,304 for the year 1935-36, and $33,295,645 for 1936-37, and providing for an in crease of the salaries of the public chool taechers of 20 per cent for the first year of the hicnnium and 25 per cent for the second, has passed the House and been sent over to the Senate for consideration and action. The school machinery act and other important legislation that must be considered and acted upon by both houses before 'the gavels fall for the final session, have yet to be voted upon by both House and Senate. Bills introduced : To make direct sales by Clerks of the Superior Courts and the Revenue Department the exclusive method of distributing license plates for motor vehicles, the clerks to receive 8c per plate and their bonds to cover the monies collected. To change the school commission so as to make the Governor honorary chairman, Suj>erintendent of Pub'ic Instruction, chairman, 'the five addi tional members of the Board of Ed ucation and one person appointed from each congressional district, mem bers of the commission. To require a new, State-wide reg istration in 1936 and each ten years thereafter, with separate registration books for each political party, the division of precincts voting over 1,200 and increased compensation for election officials. To amend Local Government .Act so as to allow cases to test the valid', ity of funding and refunding bonds; to shorten the period of publication of notice therein to 20 days: to a1 low interveners to contest either the validity of the bonds or the indebt edness ; to allow appeals within 30 days after decree; to substitute a new provision clarifying the effect of court decrees on the validity of the bonds; and to provide for the publication of the notice of the bond issue. To amend Municipal Finance Act and County Finance Act so as to broaden the authority of cities, towns and counties to issue bonds in fund ing, refunding to cover principal and interest on funding and refunding bonds, to allow such bonds to be des ignated as 'certificates of indebted ness," and to prohibit the funding or refunding of interest accruing after 1938 \ and to provide that no local legislation enacted prior to the end of 1935 General Assembly shall ap ply to bonds issued under the Fin ance Acts for refunding, funding or renewing indebtedness incurred be ( Continued on last page )
