It has tuken them a week to cu! down, upicn,t and aaw and split just those two tree*;. What heroic stuff our pioneer ances tors were, who went out into the wild erness with their ritles, axes and crosscut saws, to elear the lores?s t'oj their farms and build thcn-.aelve; houses out of logu. Their labor, after observing how much it has taken to get rid of only two partly-decayed trees, seems all but incredible. No wonder that settlers rushed to tuk< up laud in the compartivciy treeless prarie country ti-i fust a9 it was sale from Indians?rind even before it was safe. ?c ) . Young folk who think life is bard in these days, ought to be t.-ught more about the difficulties which the early settlers had to overcome, 10 make America an easier, pleusanter place to live in for thi,. generation. POLITICS . . -. . . and bosses The chief objection, as I see it, ti the Government-ruu-everythtng Bohetr* is that with us in thi com try "Gov ernment" means'' politics' 'and people are employed to run thm?-, not be cause they are competent but becausr they are useful to a political party. Everyone who has ever bad to do business with any government office knows that the political! holding a gov eminent job assumes that he has been made a boss instead of a servant of the people and acts as if he were the miasrer, and a ralh'-j bad-mannered, arrogant master, of those who have business to transact in his bureau or department. The postmaster general J,as lately bad to issup an order to post office employees .to be mure courteous to the people who come to their office. I do not know how much good it will do On the whole, I have found postanast ers and postal clerks far mow obl'g ing and good-natured than other kind* of gevcrnir.ent employees, most of whom have very , bad manners indeed* TAXES ..... at the source I have jusf gone through the Anapa) ugony of making out my incorne-Ux return. I have had to do it every year since tho income tax law woj enacted in 1913, and every year it become# ? more and more complicated operation. I do not object to paying a reason able tax, but it seems to r.e that the proces^ ought to be nuide simpler, ai ter studying the laws, rules and regu lations to fln,d out just what I am re quired to pay taxes on and what I can legally deduct from m> income for tax purpose*, I wonder how long any pri- j vate business would la&t which re- j quired the immense amoun'. of book-1 keeping detail which the assessment! and collection of the incoire tax alone! . i comes to. ^ I think the system under whieh in-' come taxes an; imposed in this country ia all wrong. The new income tax un der the Social Securit} Act is far bet ter. One percent of every employjc 's wages or salary is dpducted by his employer a.s an income tax and paid direct to tht Federal government That principle, of deducting Uie tax at thp souiee of tfw income, is used everywhere clue in tho wor?d.

'Bitty; r.ce'i* g$ W: Caused By Han To Reorganize Court Washington, Marsh 23,.?Politics is always io the a:r in Washington, where political considerations dcter i mine most of the activities ol 'Govern j meut, year in and year out. But at'iei 'a Presidential election there is usual ' ly <i breathing spell of a couple of years in party politics, before the forces of the opposing parties b.gi. tc form their lines for the next Presi dential contest. The partisan breathing spell has been very ' brief this lince, how I ever. Mv. liooseve&V second term is J hardly two months old, but already ? the linos arc forming i'or ihe election | of 19*10, with ihe possibility that the line-tip in that year may be totally different Prom anvthi;^ in the past. Tr,o developments siiicc the first oi *hc year have started shifts of politi cal opinion and point toward a lvaiigs^ went of political leaders. These are the Prosu' at's proposal to bring the Judicial department of tht Federal 'Government under the control of the Legislative ami Executive departments A.id the spectacular rise to power and prominence of John L. Lewis and his C. I. 0. or industrial union progiams for Labor organization. The President's proposal has hail the immediate effect oi' split til g the Democratir party wide open. "Old jline" Democratic leaders, who have | been willing to go along with Mr Roohevelt in the name of fartv regu ; lsfrity, even though many of his New Deal policies ran contrary to their own judgments and to the party's J traditions are coming out in the open [ and declav;ng that they eannot follow him on any proposal designed to im pair the position of tin* Supreme Court as an equal and coordinate branch of the Federal Government. The Senate split is noit along establish- j ed party lines. Althoug the 16 Re publican senaitors are naturally oppos- j ed to the President's plan, they are keeping quiet and letting the Demo crats do the public protesting. The most active public leader ot the op position is Senator Wheeler of Mon- ] tana, a Democratic wheelhorsc whose party regularity has never been ques tioned. Following Senatoi Wheeler's leadership are at least 25 senators of' his own party, mostly from the tra-: ditional Democratic stronghold of the "Solid South." They arc earnestly, even. bitterly determined to fight the Supreme Conn proposal to the last ditch. AI present more than forty Senators are avowed ly in opi?osition to the Court plan. That is not a majority of the Senate, but it is a large enough group to block the Court proposal, oi at least to force a compromise even if ten or a dozen yield unded Administration pressure. And since this "bloc" con tains manv of the most powerful par ty leaders, with enormous Influence in their home states, who are risking Jheir political futures as a matter of principle, observers here regard the situation as pointing directly toward. a split in, the whole Democratic padty between the "Old Line" Democrats and "New Dealers." ! That niight result in some ca>rt of o coalitiou of conservative and anti New Deal forces for the 1940 cam-? paign. Tho proposal has been made 1 and is seriously being considered in' Republican circles that it would be good strategy for the Republicans to let it be known that their party will put no candidates in the field in the Congressional elections of 1938 against j Democratic Senators and Representa tives who vote agiainst the Administra tion on the Supreme Court issue. Further complicating the political1 outloofc is the apparent certainty that there will be a new and powerful La bor Party in the field in 1940, with possibly 10 to 15 million votes -which it wilt control It will be a Third Party, but it may indorse the Admin istration's candidates, as its nucleus, ns'Mr. lewis's American Labor Party idid in the 1936 elections. John Lewis "st&rtd out today is the strongest labor loader since the late Saimicl Gompers. | The breaoh between his industrial union organization and the craft union set-up of the Amelcan Federation of Labor (tows wider every day. The outlook from here, is for praotically j complete domination, of the labor sit uation by Mr. Lewis, in the long run, although, until that is demonstrated the Administration will not openly take Bidca ^gainst 'William Green and >, (PleAe-Tuni ToPa?e.2) ; Cattev rM s:?

TWO ARID SPOTS IN JACKSON There are to be two arid spots in Jaekaon county, accoiding to legisla-j tion enacted by the General Assembly., It is unlawful to sell wine, beer, ale, j or other alcholic beverages within one j mih of Western Carolina Teachers! College. Lunch stands, cafes, and the like in the college village ai d common ity will not be allowed to sell or serve beverages containing alcohol. The bill making this unlawful was introduced by Senator McKeo, and when it passed the Senate provided for an arid region | of two miles from the college. How ever, the House of Representatives . reduced the area to one mile, and that was the form in which the bill was ratified aud became the law. The other arid spot is a circle o: c mile in each direction from the hifih school at Glcnville. This bill was in troduced in the House by Represen tative Led better. Both bills were effective upon rati fication, and are now the law.
