Horton, North Carolina, and especially Farmvilie and this section of the State, suffers a great loss. Up until a few years ago, when ill health robbed him of his J activities, he was a substantial asset financial and political life of j this community, having served his town, and county for a number of years in the capacity of a commis sioner and the State as a legislator. | ' Mr. Horton was a man who num bered his friends by his asquaint ances, daily emempliiying in a true and never-to-be-forgotten way the spirit of the poet who said, ".Let me live in a house by the side of the road and be a friend to man." This Mr. Horton did, often denying himself in order to accommodate another. We shall all mourn his demise and not without cause, but the memory of the things for which he stood will re-" main an inspiration t<~- our communi ty for years to come. * TIME TO PLANT LESS ""Winter is nearly over, ana It will be but a short time before spring planting is under way in every part of the United States. And in every of the country farmers are more r*-** - ? - or less in a quandary as to how much acreage to bring into production this year. If half of the threats of a "fann ers' strike" which we hear about are carried out, there will naturally be a matc&al reduction in the volume of agricultural production for 1933 and that, of course, will have a tendency to bring higher prices for such as is produced." We think the realization that it is necessary for the farmers of the nation, as a whole, to reduce the acreage under cultivation has now become quite widespread. Farmers understand that a large part of their troubles have come from retaining under cultivation marginal lands which were put to the plow during the war, when the utmost pos sible production was stimulated by the high prices fixed by the Govern ment for agricultural commodities. With half the world at war the Unit ed States had. to feed more than half of 'the rest of the world. But that condition could not be maintained, and the American farmers' export market has been steadily falling off for the past ten years, since the rest of the world got back to its agricultural operations. Our belief is that this export mark et is going to continue to diminish. Country after country which former ly was a steady and reliable customer for American wheat, cotton, meat and dairy products, is now raising nearly all of its own necessities. We think that 1933 is a good year for every farmer to begin to try to help himself and his country by cut ting down his planting by anywhere up to 50 percent. If all farmers agreed "to this they would find, by harvest time, that they were getting higher priees than they have dreamed ?1 ? ' _ m of for years, may cotua pay on their mortgages, buy the new equip ment they need, and so start the wheels of prosperity spinning again. We dont know what is going to happen to the domestic allotment plan of farm relief which has been discuss ed in Congress, but we think that in offering an inducement to the pro ducers of staple crops to reduce their output, it is headed in the right direc tion. x ?..._ CHANGES MADE IN FOUNDER'S DAY PLANS Greenville, Feb. 22.?In the plans for .founder's day at East Carolina Teachers' College qn March 4, two important changes have been made. Mrs. C. M. Johnston, wife of the - State Treasurer, who was Miss Ruth Moore, of the class of 19t3, will rnakt a talk instead of Miss Louie Delle Pittmail. Mrs. T ator Standi^ of Falkland, of the class of 1914, will talk- instead of Mrs. C. M. Warren. Rev. B. F. Huske, of Kins ton, who was rector of the Episco pal church at Greenville when the j^^^^^^bpened, will conduct the de r 7'/ ;vA'~ ii'. ?' ".V5; " ?? 1 f . % W ^m**2Si tj!j:'- v./ I t :?/ V- w~- : K\ - a^4? %& v'.w - -1 W r * gto D CT F b 28 The! last of the Hoover family's pkponal effects have been taken out of the White House and put on board a Gov ernment ship, which will takn. them ' through the Panama Canal to the Mare Island Navy Yard in ?San Fran cisco Bay, From there it will be a short haul by truck to the Hoover's permanent residence at Stanford Uni versity, Palo Alto, California, Mr. and Mrs. Hoover are "living out of suitcases" until the fourth of March. Ihey will have very little baggage to take with them, when they leave Washington on that day . Mr. Hoover .vill accompany the new President to the Capital, but his plans do not con t mplate remaining there to listen to lis successor's inaugural address. In stead, he will meet Mrs, Hoover at the railroad station, shortly after noon, and they will take a train for ^ew York to catch a ship which is sailing that night for California. Democrats in Control Twelve years of uninterrupted. Re publican control of the Federal Gov ernment are practically at an end. The Democratic Party is in more complete control than it has been j since the first Administration of ^ Wood row Wilson, which began just .wenty years ago, At that time only ] 3 few persons on either side of the Atlantic anticipated the great Euro- ( pean war, and fewer still had any remote idea that the United States would be dragged into it Yet it is j .he events which occurred during the -var which are at the roots of the . .conqmic troubles from which the United States and all the rest of the .vorld are suffering. By all odds the biggest job ahead of the Roosevelt Administration is ' the adjustment of the international . iituation, with respect of debts grow ing out of the war, and the effort to I Sntornafinnal trsHfi tinan which the ? prosperity of the United . States still greatly depends. And the j most important task which President Roosevelt and his party's CongTess will have to tackle also grew out of : the war. This is the problem of pen- | sions, hospitalization and bonus payments for those who served , under the American flag in that war. , It seems from here at this time ;afe to assert, first, that the new ( Administration will not consent to the demand -of the American Legion . for the immediate payment of the | deferred bonus certificates held Fy veterans of the war. It also seems ^afe to predict that there will bg a complete reorganization of the sys tem of caring for invalid and dis ibled veterans whose allowances and injuries are not directly due to their war service. At present the cost of medical and hospital service for such cases is estimated at around $400, ">00,000 a year, and it is anticipated that this will be one of the ? first points of "attack by President Roosevelt*in his effort to reduce the cost-of carrying on the Government by at least 25 percent. Presidential Power The desire of many of the Demo cratic party leaders to rush a bill through the present Congress to give the President broader powers than have ever been conferred upon any President in peace time ,for the reor ganization of governmental offices, the consolidation ? of bureaus and the elimination of unnecessary functions, >eem to have run against a snag in the shape of an intimation from the White House that if such a bill as oroposed is adopted, Mr. Hoover will veto it. Mr. Hoover had asked for J ? * ?? ? * X - ^ ? I autnoroy to maxe certain reorganiza ions, which authority was denied lim. He never requested any such iroad powers as it is proposed to con 'er upon President Roosevelt, fad ie{ ioes not believe that any President hould be exempted from the control md review of his acts by the Con gress. Since there are not enough Democratic votes in either House to >ass any measure over the President's 'eto, if it is made a party issue, tiffs leems to settle the matter so far as his Congress is concerned Cleared For Action Mr. Roosevelt, it is known, has ask >d his supporters in Congress to give iim all the power they can legally ?rant under the Constitution. And, :n the beginning at least, there is lit tle doubt that he will get it. Of course, any power delegated to the President by Congress can always 5e taken away from- him by Congress, but it begins to look as if President Roosevelt would find himself in a position of more complete authority :han any President has occupied since Mr. Wilson, who for two years, from' iariy 1917 until early 1919, was prac tically the Supreme Dictator of the United States. ' % ~ La any event, the new President w01 have tp call a special session of.^tEe Senate to confirm the appointment of lis Cabinet members, the new ambas sadors and ministers with whom it is certain he will replace America's rep resentatives abroad, and the hundreds ,t other Presidential appointees who -mist be immediately put in office out there will also be a big shake-up in the classified service, which is un der the protection of the civil service laws. Appointments, promotions and dismissals in the classified service, which Includes now about half a mil lion Government workers outside of the Army and Navy, can be made only on the basis of examinations for fitness and merit, and these places have always been regarded as perma nent and secure. But all of these positions are subject to Congressional action. Congress can, for example, abolish an entire bureau or division, or it can restrict the number of em ployees in any given department, thus abolishing any number of civil ser vice posts. Probably half the population of Washington, which is composed al most entirely of Government em- J ployees, is trembling in apprehension I that'their jobs may vanish. Washington gossip is perhaps more interested in the reconciliation between the two wings of the Roose velt family than in such apparently unimportant matters as how to get the nation and its people out of debt. Kermit Roosevelt's presence as one of the guests with his fifth cousin, the President-elect, on Vincent Astor's yacht, is regarded as a public gesture r>n the part of both branches of the Roosevelt family that the branch be tween them has been healed .Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt is credited with an important part in this reconcilia tion. She is more closely related to the Theodore Roosevelt family than is her husband, and she and her first cousin Alice, now Mrs. Longworth, haw nlwavs been warm friends. Mrs. Longworth is reported to have been greatly pleased at the letter she re ceived from her cousin, Franklin, in response to her note of congratulation on his election, and it is regarded as likely that she will be a frequent White House guest and lend .the aid of her intimate knowledge of the ins and outs of national politics to her newly inaugurated relatives.
