A Matter of Public Concern IV:SlMTK"thv-fiict lhjlt the Tallulah -Falls Railway senes a U-rritorv rich in natural resources and potential f orcat agricultural development, hard times seem to have been its lot in life. For years it , has he en 'operated under receivership because of in ability to pay even the interest, to say nothing of the 'principal, on a loan advanced by the Southern Kail road twentv-odd vears ao for the extension of the line from Tallulah Falls, (Ja. to Franklin. The line was not regarded as a success even in the days bef 'Ve .hard-surfaced highways caused a preci)itr,us decline in passenger revenues. The estnit of this decline is shown in the railway's reports to the Interstate Commerce Commission. In '1425 passenger .revenues on i!ie; "T. IV :mintiiiied to $4o,0lo; in 1920, $12,619; in 1927, $27,99-1 in 1928, $22,Wi'; in 192, $12,503; in 19.11), $8,)9. Hut these figures are hardly necessary. One has only to go down to any of the sta tions along the line and observe the empty waiting rooms and Coaclie (rather, it should be coach, for only one, car is usually carried now for passengers.) Freight '-n venues, the reports, to the 1.. C. C. reveal, have declined from $212,708 in 1925 to $122,174 in 1930. This year, it is estimated by II. I.. Brewer, auditor and assistant to the receiver, the "T. F." faces an operating deficit of $51,000 unless there is an increase of at least $100,(100 in the line's anticipated revenues. As to what the outcome will be, neither Mr. Brewer nor Mr. J. F. Cray, the 'receiver, will venture ah. opinion. Whether the Southern Railroad will advance money to make up the deficit and continue opera tion of the line is problematical. If this were the only short line in which the Southern were interested, or if it were otic of a few, there probably would be little cause for worry. But short lines, valuable in the pat as "feeders" to the trunk lines even though not self-supporting inVheiiusel'ves, ' arc about as numerous with the' Southern, as legs on a centipede. The problem of the Tallulah Falls Railway is only one of many such problems in the eye;, of officials of the South ern Railroad. Many short lines already have had to be abandoned and junked. Which will conic; next? Let us hope that it won't be the ' Tallulah Falls. It is not difficult to see what the results of abandonment would be. An immediate decline in property values would be inevitable. Virtually all hope of industrial development would be cut off. The public would In at the liiercy of bus ami truck line' operators, over whom there is no rigid control as there is over the railroads. Timber operations would suffer greater, perhaps, than anything else. Poles, lumber and cross lies, which bring in a large shareotMacon county's income, would have to be hauled over the Cowees to the Murphy Branch. This, in a great' many cases, would be prohibitive. The mica 'industries now established might be -uhle to survive the blow, but there would be little likelihood that more money would be invested in this vicinity in the development of mineral resources. Every comity through which the railway passes would suffer a very considerable drop in tax revenues, meaning the necessity of in creasing the amount of levy. This would affect every property owner 1 and almost (very business man and fanner. The resort business would be about the only one not to suffer. It might eveii.be benefitted. But this . business is not of sufficient proportions to offset other losses. What is the solution? On paper it is simple; to put it into practice presents difficulties, but not insurmountable. The one soluton is ' more business for the "T. That can b brought abotit.in three ways: , . 1. A tremendous increase in the timber industry, which in years past has supplied most of the outgoing traffic of the line.-;' 2. Establishment of large manufacturing industries at Franklin and other points along the "T. F." 3.. .By. everyone patroniing the line as far as possible. ' There . is no' hope now of greatly increasing timber culling ac tivilies. There is little or ho market for acid wood. A; few poles .and some lumber is moving, but tllis is in limited quantities. Industrial development will be slow. The country i.s suffering from , over-prodticlioti. The most feasible solution lies in public cooperation, in every person along the line iisiny it whenever-possible. This alone niav not increase revenues, of the "T. F." sufficiently to wipe out the anticipated deficit, but it should serve to stave off a crisis until the lime is propitious" for other' "cures." . For a decade or more there has been much talk of the possibilities offered by extension of the "T. F." through to Maryvillc, Tcnn.,..or Kn'oxville. There has been considerable resentment because the South ern Railroad has failed to take advantag of this opportunity. The Southern has 1k-ui -accused.-.'of deliberately thwarting such a project in order to preserve round-about hauls. This is no .time. to go into such contingent issues. Extension of the line now is beyond' question. Rail shrinkage,, rather than rail expansion, is the tendency of the times. It' is. an inevitable result of modern road building and the growing popularity of motor .transportation. The point is: Franklin and other communities served by the Tal lulah Falls Railway must not allow it to be' abandoned. They must not allow it to reach the point where it would be forced to diminish its service or, to neglect its rolling stock and roadbed. Past differences must., be forgotten and ' the present situation faced squarely and res olutely. Any other course would call to mind the old comment about "cutting off one's nose to spite his face." ANOTHER BANK REOPENS Reopening of the Bank of Frank lin is another sign that affairs in Western North Carolina are not as bad as they have been pictured by the pessimist. The Bank of Franklin was one of a number oi institutions that closed for self protection when the crash in Ashc ville came. Like most of the oth ers, the Bank of Franklin was sol vent but embarrassed because of the failure of other banks. Its reopening is proof of this fact. Reopening of tljjj Bank of Frank lin is also indicative of the courage and energy of the people of that community, It is easy enough to make a go of things when pros perity abounds. It is making a go .f af fail s in the face oi difficul ties that furnishes a test for the people of a community. Business conditions will continue- to improve more and more as the banking business recovers from the terrible blow it received when the Central Bank and Trust company failed. Already here in Waynes- ville business has shown much im provement since the Citizens Bank and Trust company resumed busi ness. Franklin will experience a like improvements. WAYNES YILLE MOUNTAINEER. A DANGEROUS SITUATION The prolonged legislative dead lock at Raleigh is dangerous for other reasons than those which were pointed out by Governor Gardner in his address to the law makers during the past week. It is true, as the Governor said, that the apparent inability of the legislature to function and to leg islate in working out a revenue policy adapted to the changed con ditions is tending to bring the Democratic party in North Carolina into bad repute; for the Democrat ic party is in full control at Ral eigh. ; It is true, as the Governor said, that the prevailing uncertainty as to taxes already levies its own tax upon the business and patience of the people; for confidence can not revive and business can not move forward while day after, day there is confusion as to the sources from which' the funds necessary to sup port the activities to which the state is committed. The situation would be bad i;nough if . this were all. But it is. not all. The feeling which exists at Raleigh and which has become increasingly bitter and personal is spreading. It is rowing suspicion in the public mind. Its continuance threatens a legacy of hates and liscords. One of the reasons for North Carolina's notable progress during the past thirty years has been its relative freedom from such hates and discords. Demagogues have never been able to get very far in this state. Conditions have not fa vored their rise. But the kind of atmosphere which now exists at 'the state capitol is precisely that in which demagogery thrives. There is still another reason for regarding the prolongation of the legislative deadlock as dangerous It is as important as any of those heretofore mentioned. When over a period of many weeks men are subjected to sever and continuing strain, their tempers inflamed and their resentments aroused, no one can say what will be done when at last a break conies, as eventually it must. ' Thus it is quite conceivable that those who have been demanding the removal of all ad valorem tax alion for the support of the six months school term might win their fight and yet find themselves sad died with taxes payment of which would be even more disastrous to their communities. A general sales tax, for instance would take heavier toll from those communities least able to pay, than does the ad valorem tax. It is equally conceivable that those who bave been holding firm against any form of sales tax might be forced to witness the imposition of, other taxes still more experi mental and demoralizing, in their effects upon business than a modi fied tax on selected commodities A radical increase in the equal ization fund supported by money collected through ad valorem tax ation imposed upon the wealthier counties and distributed to the schools in the poorer counties would be, for example, calamitous in its consequences. That may seem far-fetched, fan tastically impossible. It has been done in other states. It is being done next door to us in South Carolina at the present time. And the policy there was adopted al most overnight, almost without warning. We do not think that anything like this is going to be done at Raleigh ; but we cite it as an il lustration of the sort of thing that might be done in heat and pas sion if certain factions to this long controversy should succeed in wearing other .factions out, m smashing all resistance, in embark ing then upon an expedition not simply to raise revenues but to punish others who have incurred their hostility. Risks of this character are al ways present when a legislature has gone stale, when its members ire wearied beyond endurance, when the sense of futility has tak en possession of the minds of many of them, when they arc sick and disgusted with their own fruitless f forts. In the last analysis the battle that rages at Raleigh has to do with approximately eight or nine million dollars. That is about cyie- eleventh of the total taxes paid in North Carolina for state and local purposes. No matter what is done about t' !.. eight or nine million dollars the other taxes will remain and will have to be paid. If the atmosphere in the general assembly had hot become so sur charged with heat and feeling the legislature would have reached an adjustment of the whole revenue bill long ago and would have adjourned. It can reach such an adjustment now if it will rid itself of bitter ness, if it will take a broad and public spirited view of the obliga tion with which it is confronted. That is what the people want done. They want an intelligent compromise which will clear the air and leave as little of animosity as possible in its wake. Continued stalemate threatens the future of the state. The time has come to end it. ASHEVILLE CITIZEN-TIMES. tard gas made famous during the great war. The modest corncob must have been slightly astonished at the impressive name given its then south 21 poles to the Begin ning, containing 50 acres. Second Tract: Being part of State Grant No. 1809 beginning at a locust stump in the line of sec Home's Homilies BY TROY F. HORNE AN AGRICULTURAL EXPERI MENT Guy Cardwell of the Atlantic Coast Line reports on a recent visit he made to Scotland and Robeson counties, where aTi experi ment is being made in diversified farming. An investment company is undertaking to plant 12,000 acres of land on which are settled 300 tenant families, with a supervisor directing them. This supervisor was formerly a county agent of the agricultural extension service and is assisted by eleven overseers Formerly this area produced al most nothing but cotton and to bacco mostly cotton. These will continue to be the principal crops But there will also be considerable acreage devoted to food and feed crops, as well as other suplemcnt ary money crops. However, Mr. Cardwell was particularly impressed by the insistence upon a year round vegetable garden. Early this year the supervisor sent out a letter of instruction on this sub ject to the overseers. Extracts from it read as follows: "This letter is for the purpose of again reminding you of the hnpor tance of the tenants' farm gardens for 1931, and also to urge you to begin immediately the selection of the very best spots of land ob tainable for these gardens. "Any tenant who does not care to cooperate in this work you are to advise that his services are no longer desired and that he will be expected to vacate at once. How ever, we sincerely hope that there will be no such unworthy tenants on any of our farms, and that only the fullest cooperation will be had "These garden spots are to be free of rent. We will furnish the fertilizer and seed and take the chances of collecting. . The garden may be from one-fourth acre to three-fourths acre in size, accord ing to size of family and numbe of plows operated." The vegetables to be planted in clude the following: Tomatoes, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, col lards, cabbage, snap beans, pole beans, lima beans, beets, okra, cowv peas, squash, pepper,, cucumbers, turnips, onions and mustard. Fur ther, as fast as conditions warrant, the tenants will be expected to own. pigs, poultry and milch cows. Pure seed of known origin will be furn ished for planting. The tenant homes and barns will be rebuilt or repaired and painted. And na tive shrubbery as well as bright, inexpensive flowers will make th grohnds attractive. This .constitutes an interesting experiment in developing diversi fied agriculture. Promotion of many crops and a variety of in terests will do. 'much to foster the welfare of Southern farmers. They have suffered from business depres sion and over production of cotton. The more they can be induced to vary their activities and use in telligent methods, the better will things be in the rural districts of this section. -ASHEVILLE CITIZEN. new side line that of chloroethyl- tion 104 and runs north 77 poles to 2-furfurvl-sulfide.
