But that is wha* Tol?i McCarl hax always refused t>? d(. He hasn't played ball the way tin politicians who were responsible fo: having him put in the office expected him to play. The idea of hnving a Comptroller General, to Fee that all money spent! by the Federal Government was used in precisely the way Congress pre scribed, that no deserHion should be allowed to any Federal officer or bu reau and thai, he uhonld be responsi ble only to Congress, was originated by the Republican majority in Con gress during 1919-20. It came as a result of the more or less unresfufrh?^ spending of the Wil ton Administration in war time. Pres X. ' ? ident Wilson vetoed the first bill cre ating "the office of Comptroller-Gencr al, bcrtau.se it prohibited the Prsiderc: from removing the incumbent from ufficc and gave the executive no oon '.k?l Op supervision of his activities. ScWor Warren G. Harding was one of (the leading advocates of t he idea of an independent accounting officer. Promptly after Mr. Harding be came President, in 1921, the offici was created by act of Congress, and Mr. Harding picked John McCarl to HI iit, because McCarl had alwayi ')een a staunch Rttptiblican "wheel home. He had been a lawyer in Ne braska, where be eittll maintains a voting residence at MeCookj he had been Secretary of the Republican Congressional Executive Comlmittee through one or two campaigns, and at !(hft time of his appointment was pri vate secretary to Senator Ge?rgfc W. Morris, of Nebraska. McCarl took office July 1, 1921. He had not been in office more tihan a few minutes before his political friends found th?f, the expense ac counts of Republican office-holder-* wero just as much objects of suspic ion as if they had been presented by Democrcvtfl. Fo,. 15 years every dollar spent by or in l?ehalf of the Federal Govern ment' haa Had to be okayed by the Comptroller-General. He has notikine to do \rith preparing the lmdgnt. few? after the wrems of t*he budget have been enacted into law. he has every thing to do with seeing to it t.kr no department, bureau or individual spends mm* thm ba? been sp-eifiral (Please Tom To Pag* 2) Well Known Speaker^ On Contention Program Friday Afternoon Beginning at three o'-cJock: Sang service, Miss Blanche Em bler, Asheville.

Miss Opal Lee Buingarn?r lias beta warned valedictorian, and Miss Anne Enloe, sahitatonan of the class Soon to graduate at Sylva Iligh School. Both young ladies are from Dills boro. Miss Bumgarner, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Bomgamer, has j ' a four-year average of 94.5 per primitive tools of the first settlors, step by step to iho nwr velous machines of today vi kich c'M. ?k> everything but think. It is hard to name an invention oi importance which did not either orig ina?te in America or ge protected them agai rors of the forest, v wtilej'he free swinging 'axe helve enabled them r<> develop a new and more rffieotfive technique for clearing 'the laud for their farms and building their T03 houses. For the first 250 years Amjeru;?| was han die appeal by a shortage of labor. We had -to invent machine* br.TiU.vf there wa^.i't 011014; jh man power. And, in spito of all of the present unemployment, men engaged in big manufacturing id us tries tell me (there is still a shortage of genu inoly skilled labor. MACHINES . / . operators The greatest contribution America i has made to the world, it seems iU> mc. is our ingenuity in building brains in i to marines. I never go through a modern manufacturing plant withou: seeing some new machine which min ! imizes the need of intelligence on th< part of tfce man who operates it. Tlu engineers who designed and the tool J makers who built it put Mioir brain*1 jand skill into the machine itself, so) i tjhat the niost unintelligent. baborct i ! can run it. One of the most, complicated devices that we had to turn out during the iv^ar was th?* recoil meehan:sm for the French 155-mi!limeter howitzer's. The problem of tanking them was put ui> to a big Pi'tviyit automobile factory It took (three "months to design ami build the automatic machines to do the job. I went through the factory in ]918 and found every one of the-o automatic machines being tended by i chunky Polish girl in a smock. It took no muscle, it took no skill or training, to produce, by aid of the machine which could almost think, an appara % ' ; tus in which every part had to be ac-1 | curate to a thousandth of an inchi ! ! UNEMPLOYMENT . . answer I think the ultimate answer to the j prob!*.m of unemployment will b?> la j trenv-ndftift ir.Tease in fhe number and variety of so-ea.l!e^ "labor sav ; in?" machine-.
