Friday, September 20, 1935. THE PILOT, Southern Pines and Aberdeen, North Carolina Page Three J. A. SMITH RENOVATING NEWXY PURCHASED HOME J. A. Smith of the Shaw Paint •& Wallpaper Company, is having- the howae at No. 44 Bennett street, which he has recently acquired, completely renovated and moderniz ed for a home for himself and fam. ily. This house was once the home of the Geyers, early bankers of Southern Pines. Announcement of Mr. Smith’s purchase of this house was garbled in last week's Pilot, the headline reading “Shaw Purchases Home,” instead of “Smith Purchases Home.” The Pilot regrets the error. E. V.

Resistance by individuals and groups may come. It is borne in mind, however, that the government has ways of being harassing in the collection of taxes, and it is upon the basis of collecting a tax that po. tato control rests. Farmers, afi a rule, will now learn for the first time how formidable a Federal govern, ment tax collector can be. Any indiv. idual farmer could readily be reduc. ed to bankruptcy by the trouble and expense the government could put him to. It is true, as respects the im. prisonment penalty, that local juries may reasonably be expected to re. fuse to indict or convict. As respects the fine part of the penalty, however, A. A. A. seems to have devised ways to collect that, or at least to put a farmer and his farm under distraint, without letting the matter come be. fore a jury. It is also assumed that the ending of potato control may come through reversal by Congress of its action in imposing the control. This is possi. ble. The vote in the House by which potato control was enacted on Au. gust 14 was 174 to 165. Obviously a shift of five votes, or even the presence of a larger number of mem. bers voting, might bring repeal of the law. In passing it in the Democratic majority leaders of the House per. mitted only thirty minutes for debate on each side. It was said at the time by Republican Congressman Clifford R. Hope, of Kansas, that had there been adequate debate, not fifty mem. bers of the House would have sup. ported the bill. Fundamentally, however, potato control cannot be looked upon stand, ing alone, and repeal of it cannot be looked upon as a separate act. Po. tato control is geared in to the rest of A. A. A. It would seem that if the rest of A. A. A. is to remain, pota. to control ought logically to remain also. When A. A. A. was started its pro. moters knew that the first step would force the succeeding steps. The whole reason given for enactment of potato control was the controls that had already been set up upon other crops. When A. A. A. limits the acreage of cotton and fixes an arti. ficial pi’ice for it, unfairness to po. tatoes at once rises, because the land which is prevented from raising cot. ton goes into potatoes. This creates an artificially large crop of potatoes and an artificially low price for them. This condition was put forward again and again in the debates as practically the sole justification for potato control. As it was put by Re. publican Congressman Ralph O. Brewster, -of Maine, who supported the measure: The same reason was put forward with the new superintendent, A. M. by Senator Josiah W. Bailey, of Calhoun, in charge. The Rev. Charles North Carolina, who was sponsor A. Lawrence, Presbyterian minister, for potato control in the Senate: I read a Scripture lesson which was “Under the operation of the crop j followed by prayer by Dr. D. E.

CO or peanuts or other crops and drive them all over into the potato field . ... It seems necessary, if other control acts are to contmue, that po. tatoes should receive the protection which it is supposed they will have under this proposal.” "In the other sections where con. trol programs have been operating in the major agricultural crops, such as corn, hogs, wheat, cotton, tobacco, there has been a steady increase In the production of potatoes ... as other crops have been restricted, po. tatoes have increased.’' The same reason was put forward by Republican Senator William E. miGIBM A GENSBAL MOTORS VALOE 1935 SUPER-SERIES Holds One-Quarter More Food The same argument that potato control and the rest of A. A. A. must stand or fail together, appeared in the reproach of the advocates of po. tato control against members of the House from Iowa, who apparently banded together to vote against the control of this crop. Democratis Rep. resentative Lindsay C. Warren, of North Carolina, sponsor of the bill in the House, addressed the memben from Iowa thus: “The unkindest cut of all comes from Iowa. Notwithstanding that $71,000,000 was paid out to that state in benefit payments, with their chief crop (hogsI as a result of the program higher today than it has ever been since 1929, they come here and band themselves together to deny relief to the bankrupt potato grower,” The net of all this is that the mat. ter of keeping or ending potato con. trol is bound up with the matter of keeping or ending the rest of A. A. A. I explain all this partly Decause it illustrates the automatic character, istics of A. A. A. Once one crop is put under A. A. A., pressure upon other crops causes them to follow. Senators like Mr. Bailey, of North Carolina, to whom the fundamental principle of compulsory crop restric. tion is detestable, nevertheless sup. ported potato control. The reason is that once the promoters of this form of society achieve their first step, the ensuing steps become so inevita ble that they are accepted even by The enrollment by grades was as follows: First grade, 61; Second, 40: Third, 44; Fourth, 49; Fifth, 30; Sixth, 43; Seventh, 36; Eighth, 24; Ninth, 19, Tenth, 21; Eleventh, 21, making a total in the elementary grades and 85 in the high school. A round 25 enrolled in the agriculture department on Monday. There are five new members in the faculty, W. E. Gladstone, head of the agriculture department; Mrs. Glad, stone, who will teach some of the high school subjects; Miss Sallie Mae Bivins, fifth grade; Miss Leone Cur, rie, first grade, and Miss Ruth Lang, first and second grade work. those who bitterly opposed the first step and bitterly opposed the funda. mental principle. It is like the reverse of falling cards. Once one crop con. trol is put in effect, the others fol. low. (Copyright, 1935, for The Pilot) The Citizens Bank and Trust Co. SOUTHERN PINES, N. C. D. G.
