Political Scandals in Washington r *» It is nut of the question to'learn how many political •caudal* were hatched in and around Washington during the past few years, but reent dispatches say, "scandal charges may involve (our senators, two. Re publicans and two Democrats." At first .it would sound like a. poker game, but the information indi cates that there was a tariff game in which sugar in- bought **i fw senators. It is strange that the number involved is so limited. Only four are involved-when there were at least a half dozen who were in doubt. What the people want to hear is the names of the Tmr involved in the game. People are looking for light in ptjlitics, and in re fering to ptople, we mean the sincere voter and not the highup. People are going to stop voting for the fel lows who are proven to be dishonest. Whedhee's and Lawrences Records The records of Messrs. Whedbee and Lawrence #f the first "district have brought bitter dfaappo ntment to the people of this ;*ettion. I heir actions cannot .be understood Representing a rural population made up mainly of struggling farmers, these two men have a|>parent!y tinned from their constituents, leaving them to shiver in the cold and suffer the pangs of hunger. 'I li• number "( sfienff s sales are increasing rapidly, yet these two men stand sternly by and light measures designed to relieve their own fiiends, their own people back home who elected them, from the burden of supporting the six-months scßool term. When the\ had the op|wrtunity to lo something for agricultural North ( arolina,. the two of them dodged the i>-sue. • * It mi)iht in' a good i'le.i for ambitious politicians to change their way of thinking, Everybody knows that the cor|>orate lawyers, tukinn the lead in i>olitics and going to the legislatures to make laws, are going to find bears, lions and tigers in their paths in the future. They'll soon realize that thiy must face an electorate of intelligence, one that will have p >wer to force their servants. What Life Insurance Means in Old Age The tragedy of old age is not the tragedy of being old —but the tragedy of being penniless ■* W„ E N you think of Life Insurance, per haps you consider only death. But there always is a probability that a man will live to be old, so old that he will, , long for release from hard work and steady routine. Then it is, in old age, that Life Insurance money hurries back to the pockets of the man who paid the premiums. And old age money is indeed wonderful money, for it buys leisure, pleasure, travel and independence. • W. G. PEELE SPECIAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF VIRGINIA , ~ >'ijb,.. '• ly.- Limit Cotton and Tobacco Acreage Cooperative cotton associations, bankers, merchants and cotton farmers everywhere are hanging out the danger signal warning against a big cotton crop which they declare will cause the tenant farmer to create more debt for both himself and the landlord, finally carrying farmers into bankruptcy. The cru sade is on, and it iwt only includes cotton but also I affects tobacco, the crop that has just about wrecked Eastern North Carolina farmers and business. Next I Thursday, Governor Gardner will urge a limited to [ bacco crop this .year, and everyon? is urged to hear him over radio station WPTF, Raleigh. Cotton production or cotton prices just like to bacco and tobacco prices will one or the other cer tainly lie lowered, says nearly everyone who has studied the conditions affecting those two crops. They estimate that the South can save $150,000,000 by cutting 3,000,000 bales from the 1931 crop, and a ' similar saving can be effected by a limited tobacco j acreage. Now is a good time for worthwhile experimenta ! tion on the farm. Turn a few acres from tobacco i and raise sufficient feed and food crops. Take another acre or two and try out the theories advanced by the exerts. With farm prices hovering around the very bottom, if yoir'fail in your tests, you'll not lose much, while on the other hand you might gain valu able information. The Department of Agriculture Much criticism has been directed against the State Department of Agriculture recently, and it is our In-lief that the criticism for the most part, if not all, is unfounded. For 25 years we have observed the workings of the department and the advice given, and we feel safe in saying that if the farmers of North Carolina had followed the directions of the de partment, we would not be in the condition we are - "if" ' in today. It is reasonable to believe that we would have saved in our farming operations last year more than the entire cost of our agricultural department for iO years. We are about like the folks were when Noah preached to them to re|»ent or they would be destroy ed by a llood. They refused, to heed and follow the advice and warning. Our department of agriculture has preached to us that if we tried to raise money crops and buy the necessities of life, we would eventually be overwhelm ed by a Hood of financial destruction. Now when the llood strikes us, who must we blame? surely not the people who warned us. Now is not the time to "cuss" our leaders; it is the time to follow them. — w Must Readjust Ourselves • While thousands of workers are losing their jobs every day, our government keeps dickering with the question of unemployment. It should know that we will have more jobless people five years from now than we have at present. What our government needs to do is set up machinery to transfer the idle millions from the overcrowded factories to the farms. As long as men are led to lie'ieve that the factory doors will be* opened again to them and their jobs restored, they are (pushing further toward starvation. There are now about 6,000,000 idle men in this country, which means at least one fifth of our 1 popu lation is without support and is simply dragging along hoping for something impossible to take place. We must readjust ourselves to the new conditions, say good bye to jobs and seek some other place be sides the factory to make, a living.
