JODAY and W TOW FRANK PARKER SrOCKBRIDeE at W.ashington word to describe the ]iublic buildings in Government of the PALACES 'J'he only magnificent which the United States is administered at Washington is “palatial.” Xowhere else in the world are government offices housed in such spaciious and magnificent structures. Only in the ruins of ancient kome is there any thing approaching their magnifi cence. Washington is still building palaces. Work was just beginning, when 1 was there a couiile of weeks ago, on the new Interior Depart ment Building, which 'will be the very last word in comfort, co.nven- i'cnce and spaciousness. By cjontrast the government offices of the British Empire seem like crowded, dingy hovels. 'J’his is great country and Washington is symbolic of our na tional greatness. Can You Afford To Be Without It? FUXEI'tAL BENEFIT IXSURAX'CE costs SO little that no one should do without it, espe cially those who are dependent on moderate in- :onics. might rHE RATES AR1: FAR LOWER than you expect. These rates are based on the death rate within our own organi^.ation, a mu tual body governed by the laws of North Car olina. In this association, which we believe has as low' a death rate as any like associatfion any where. the following assessments are now' in effect: Ages 1 to 9 years Quarterly Ages 9 to 29 years 10^ Quarterly Ages 30 to 49 years 20^ Quarterly Ages 50 to 65 years 30^ Quarterly B1':X1':F1TS ark PROX IDED in the amount of $100 for persons over 10 years of age and in the amount of $50 for persons under 10 years of age.

FORYOOlir SEE PAct, ADMINISTRATION . , big jto’o More important than the build ings in Washington is what goes lOn inside of them. It is a gigantic job to run tli^e whole United States from an isolated spot off the Southeast corner. J. have been watching the gradual concentration of authority in W'ashington for more than fifty years. The older 1 get the more 1 am impressed with the feeling that it is practically impossible to admi.nister the affairs of the United States from any single center. Washington will doubtless always be the national capital. If we were starting today from scratch, how ever, we would set up the nation’s capital somewhere between Chicago and Denver, nearer the center of things. Geographically', Washington is anachrionism. I think some day we will have to set up district or provincial capitals in six or seven different parts of the country. PROVINCES . maybe here I have no idea whether the Am erican people, if they could all vote on the question, would prefer a centralized national government to our present Federal form in which the states still retain a large mea sure of independence. The tendency for fifty years has been toward na tionalism. It would take a drastic revision of the Constitution to make a straight-out national ernment effective. 1 think it more probable, if a change is ever made which will de stroy the present independence of the states, that it will be by com- binatio.ns of states into regional groups of provinces. Considering our diversity of cli matic and economic conditions, it is besoming more and more difficult to lay down rules and laws of na tional application which do not bear unfairly upon one region or an other. Yet the interests of numer ous groups of states are so identical that It is quite possible their in terests would be better served if they could be united into self- erning units. RELIEF , . , weakness A good example of the difficulty of running a country as ,big as this from any central point is found in the administration of relief by the i-ederal Government. There is no possible way by which Washington can be sure that its relief disburse ments reach only those who tually in need. I talked with Harry Hopkins -ederal Relief Administrator, not long ago. Mr. Hopkins is a hard working, earnest public servant He was surprised .and resentful at’ the suggestion that the local adminis tration of Federal relief was in efficient and wasteful i„ manv cases. . ^iiany The trouble, as in many other tedera activities, is that L era! rule can be devised which wUl apply with equal fairness to a ■inat IS true whether the establish commodity prices wages, hours of labor, housing con ditions or even taxation on a tional scale.

It’s Spring . . , and it’s the time of year to use Spring gas. The average temperature is several degrees higher than it was in April, and unless you’re using a gas specially refined for Spring driving you’re throw ing dimes and dollars away. Get That Good Gulf Gasoline. Because it’s “Kept in Step with the Calendar”—all ofit goes to work, none of it goes to waste. Pull up at the Sign of the Orange Disc and try a tankful—today.
