BONUS PRESENTS MONEY PROBLEMS President Seeks Treas ury Department's Ad vice On Bonus Pay ment Washington, Jan. 23. ? President Roosevelt today sought the Treasury . Department's advice on the $2,237, 000,000 bonus bill calling for immed iate payment?the first of a series of financial problems that threaten to push the national debt close to the $36,000^000,000 mark. Theoretically, Mr. Roosevelt's ac tion was routine, in preparation for his decision whether to veto the bill, which his friends say is his intention. The President also sent copies to the Veterans' Administra tion and other interested agencies. Actually, however, the problem of finding money for the bonus is a real one. It took Congress only 19 days to pass the bill. In both houses the majorities were suffi ciently large enough to override a veto. Theoretically each member of Congress reconsiders his vote after the President has vetoed a measure. Sometimes the majorities are re duced when the bill comes up after the veto message; members explain in their speeches that while they personally favor the measure they feel the President ought to be up held. But any practical politician knows this is a lame excuse to take back home during an election campaign, and leaders of both houses expect the bonus bill to become law re gardless of what Mr. Roosevelt does. The President has 10 days to de cide. If he fails to veto it in that time, the bonus bill automatically becomes operative. Once operative, some $87,000,000 in cash must be found for veterans under the terms of the biH, and another $1,836,000, 000 must be within easy reach in case 3,500^000 ex-doughboys decide they want cash instead of beauti fully engraved $50 bonds. The bonus is one of four major developments that have completely unbalanced President Roosevelt's 1937 budget plans. The first was the Supreme Court decision outlawing AAA processing taxes. Mr. Roosevelt had counted on $547,000,000 from this source to help pay expenses in 1937. ?' * r> The second was toe Donus. w>n greaa definitely decided against pay ing it with newly printed money. The third was the New Deal's as sumption of a "moral obligation" to fanners who signed crop control contracts in good faith. The cost will amount to slightly less than $300, 300,000. Still another was the necessity for funds to run the new farm program. Senator John B. Band head, D., Ala., one of its sponsors, has asked 440,000,000. All of these still fail to account for a relief appropriation. President Roosevelt, even in his budget mes sage, failed to state how much he would need. But Secretary of the Treasury- Henry Morgenthau, in a private appearance before the Sen ate finance committee, hinted at $2,000,000,000. Replies Made . To Invitation Several Counties Agre< To Join in Delegation Plan Greenville, Jan. 21?h. H. AI-UHfl, Pitt county farm agent, said today some comities already had started sending in favorable answers to the Pitt county board of agriculture's in vitation to join in a program, to send delegations to Washington to press for prompt action in enacting a farm program to succeed AAA. Martin, Johnston, Craven and Vance counties have replied to the suggestion made by the local group, and in each inatawr* the answers declared the fanners of the respec tive counties would support such a move. The plan was . originated here last week. It would mad a delegation from oarh of 34 Eastern North Caro lina counties to the national cap ital on separate days. It was ex plained that if each eeuRty asked to participate would send s gtagp, ? ilehgeflwi from t|e. star; would |jto to Washington tor speB providing some farm program. Speed, Darkness dust Aeefdents ? 'Sun Down, Slow Down* Suggested as Slogan For State's Motorists Raleigh, Jan. 23.?Though traffic is lighter at night, darkness and speed combine to make the 12 hours between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m. almost as hazardous for motorists and pe destrians as the 12 hours of normal daylight, the State Division of High way Safety warned yesterday. Of the 1,095 persons killed and 6,950 injured in North Carolina, during 1935, the division reported, 433 were killed and 1,950 injured between the hours of 6 and 6 at night. A good slogan for all drivers would be "Sun Down, Slow Down," said Arthur Fulk, director of the division. "Night-time accidents can oe greatly reduced if drivers will have their lights examined at regular in tervals and decrease their speed when driving at night,'* declared Mr. Fulk. "Few drivers realize that at ex cessive speeds they outdrive the distance they can see at night," he said. "In addition, their vehicle lights may be out of adjustment." Director Fulk is lending his sup port enthusiastically to the Safe Driving Pledge, which obligates drivers to obey the universal rules of safety.

Fresh, Warm Water Needed By Livestock One of the most expensive ways a farmer can heat water for his live stock is to let the animals drink it cold and warm it with their bodies. Giving the animals water at freez ing temperature lowers their vitality, and seriously curtails the production of dairy cattle, -aid Prof. R. H. Ruf ner, head of (he State College animal husbandry department. "Can you imagine a beef animal fattening, a calf growing, or a cow producing large qulantities of milk j after becoming thoroughy chilled and (Shivering for an hour in overcoming ? m ? the effects of 10 to 20 galons 01 ice jcold water?" he asked. He estimated that a cow producing 125 pounds of milk a day burns up more than a pound of corn in warm ing the water she drinks when it is taken into the body at greezing tem perature. At the State College dairy barn, where water is supplied at a moder ate temperature, there are seven cows producing more than 50 pounds of milk- a day. The food burned to farm the water is needed to maintain the animal's vitality, promote growth, and to pro duce milk, Prof. Kuffner pointed out. To attain her full milk-producing capacity, lie added, a cow snoaia De {riven all the fresh water she will drink at a temperature of 70 degrees. If the water is too cold, she will not drink enough to maintain a full milk flow. The resulting loss may be far more than the slight cost of provid ing animals with water from which the chill has been taken. WHY SO MANY CHURCHES . Evangelist R. E.
