President Urges Steps to
Foster Farm Ownership
Outlines Evils of Farm
Tenancy in Exhaustive
Report to Capitol Hill;
Presents Findings of
Own Committee
%
Washington, Feb. 16.?President
Roosevelt asked Congress today to
asve the "American dream" of in
dividual farm ownership.
Reporting that it is increasingly
difficult for energetic young men
to ascend the traditional ladder
from hired man to tenant to inde
pendent owner, he proposed to
bring federal millions to their as
sistance.
"Obviously, action by the states
alone and independently cannot cure
"the widespread evil," the President
said in transmitting the report of
his special committee on farm ten
ancy.
"A nation-wide program under
federal leadership and with the as-1
sistance of states, counties, com
munities and individuals is the only
solution. Most Americans believe
that our form of government does
not prohibit action on behalf of
those who need help."
Its Proposals.
His committee proposed:
1. Government purchase of good
farm land for sale on liberal credit
terms to selected tenants. Purchas
ers would have to pass through a
trial leasing period not to exceed
five years, would have 40 years to
complete payments, and could ac
quire title in 20 years if their finan
ces permitted.
? ? ? - * v j
2. Federal and state purcnase auu
retirement of about 100,000,000 acres
of poor crop land, and assistance to
families moving from it to better
farms. This would be carried for
ward at the rate of 2,000,000 to 5,
000,000 acres a year.
3. "Most loans" to prevent small
farm owners from slipping into ten
ancy and to help tenants, croppers
and farm laborers to increase their
standards of living. The committee
said about 1,300,000 tenant and crop
per families and members of other
groups of "disadvantaged farm
workers" needed such federal as
sistance.
4. A federal "windfall" tax to take
a large percentage of profits from
sales of land made within three
years after its purchase. This was
proposed as a means to discourage
land booms and to encco:age fami
lies to stay on and develop one farm.
. 5, State legislation to improve the
general leasing system and provide
compensation to tenants for prop
erty improvements they make.
6. Construction and operation of
"decent places to live" for itinerant
farm laborers.
7. Creation of a farm security ad
ministration, under the Secretary of
Agriculture, to direct the federal
program. A farm security corpora
tion would handle legal transactions
concerning purchase and sale "of l^nd,
stock and equipment, and the making
of loans.
Other Proposals.
The report went to a Congress al
ready considering various proposals
to help tenants to farm ownership.
Chairman Jones, (D-Texas) of the
House Agriculture Committee com
mented that the President's message
was a good one. He expressed be
lief, however, that recommendations
of the special committee should be
broadened.
- ? - * ? _ I
Jones pointer out ms own com
mittee had been conducting hearings
for several weeks on a $600,000,000
tenat aid bill offered by himself
and Senator Bankhead, (D-Ala.).
The House committee expected to
hear Secretary Wallace or a mem
ber of the President's special com
mittee Thursday. Afterward, Jones
?aid, a tenancy bill using the Bank
head-Jones measure as a pasis
would pe worked out.
In his special message submit
ting the tenant aid proposals, Presi
dent Roosevelt said they would rep
resent- a logical broadening of the
administration's present farm pro
gram.
Urging prompt action, he said:
"For the past 10 years, the num
ber of new tenants every year has
been about 40,000. x x x The agri
cultural ladder, for these Ameri
cans, has become a treadmill.
"At the same time, owners of
family aixa farms have been slip
ping down. Thousands of farmers
commonly considered owners are as
. insecure as tenants. The farm own
er-operator's equity is, on the aver
age, 42 per cent, and in some of
our best farming sections is as lit
tle as vne-ftfth. -y
"When fully I half the total farm
population of the United States no
longer en itti secure, whan mil
lions of our people have lost their
foots in the soil, action to provide
saeurity is imperative, and wffl be
generally approved."

From Carelessness
With Fire
Greenville, Feb. 16.?R. W. King,
Pitt County fire warden, issued a

exert every care to prevent forest

the proper officials at once.
The statement in full follows:
"We have had a very wet winter.
Up to date we haven't had dangers
of fire to our forest land. The farm
ers will have lots of burning to do
when weather permits. I am asking
all to be careful with your fires and
caution your tenants to be careful.
"It is a violation of the North
Carolina Fire laws: to intentionally
set fire to another's woodlands; to
let fire escape from your own land;
to start a woods fire on your lands
without having first notified ad
joining landowners of your inten
tion; to build a camp fire without
| first having cleared all inflamable
I materials around such fire for a dis
I tance of 10 feet; to leave a camp
fire unextinguished; to burn a slab
pile, sawdust pile or any other ma
terial without leaving a watchman
with it; to refuse to assist a warden
in fire fighting when called upon;
to interfere with a warden or work
ers under him while engaged in fire
fighting on anyone's land.
"We hope it will not be necessary
to see any one prosecuted for vio
lation of the N. C. Forest laws,
j Towermen will be on duty every
day during dry weather. Please re
port all forest fires to towermen,
phone 2006 or to the county warden,
phone 956-W2."

COURT RIGHT BEGINS
SOME GOOD IDEAS
PRESIDENT SURPRISES
HARD BATTLE CERTAIN
COURT IS CONSERVATIVE
BLOCKS THE NEW DEAL
PUBLIC AND THE COURT
REVIEWING THE CASES
SUMMING UP
By Hugo Sims, Washington
Correspondent.
The lines are beginning to form
in the Senate for the fight which will
center around the President's pro
posal to appoint, under certain con
ditions, up to six new justices of the
Supreme Court. In the House, lit
tle chance exists for a successful
I battle against the President's pro
posal, but, in the Senate, where foes
of the suggestion will concentrate
their attack, it is likely that the bat
tle will be prolonged. Hearings be
fore the measure reaches the floor
will consume considerable time and
I certain senators are sure to debate
the bill at great length.
So much interest has been aroused
I by the proposal of the President that
he be empowered to appoint, until
the total number of justices reaches
fifteen, one new Justice for each
member who has not resigned with
in six months of his seventieth birth
day, that the public is apt to over
look the broad reorganization of the
entire Federal Court system which
has been urged to speed up and make
modern the function of the fifty new
judges in the lower Federal Courts
to supplement judges past seventy
who refuse to resign, create a "proc
tor" to keep up with the work of the
lowed courts, authorize the Chief
Justice to assign judges to other
congested dockets, ban decisions or
injunctions in cases involving con
stitutional issues until the Govern
ment has been given ample notice
and full hearings and certain meas
ures to expedite appeals in cases in
volving the constitutionality of legis
lation.
The President's message un
doubtedly was a surprise and amaz
ed many members of Congress. Gen
erally, Republicans and anti-New
Deal Democrats denounced it and
full-fledged New Dealers gave it
their support. Outside comment
aligned conservative businessmen
against "packing" the Court, while
Labor leaders announced their sup
port. Reports indicated that a fringe
of those who have supported the
President's earlier legislative pro
gram inclines to desert him on the
crucial court issue.
Stressing the need for ''new blood"
the President's message indirectly
called attention to the age pf the
present justices. 8ix of them are
past seventy and three are over
seventy-five. Here are their ages:
Chief Justice Hughes, 74; Justices
Van Devanter, 77; McReynolds, 75;
Brandeis, 80; Sutherland, 74; Butler,
70; Stonfe, 64; Roberts, 61; and Car
dozo, 66.
While the President's proposal to
change the number of justices is not
new, his position undoubtedly creates
a crisis in the long history of the
court, Originally in 1789 it had six
members. The number was reduced
to five in 1801, up to seven in 180*7
and to nine in 1837. During the
Civil War, thp number was ten be
cause a Confederate was not sitting.
Later the Court was reduced to seven
members and, under Grant, moved
again to nine, with the President ac
cused of "packing" the Court in or
der to reverse the four-to-three
"legal tender" decision.
Despite the carefully worded lan
guage of the President's message, its
implication clearly emphasizes that
the Supreme Court is to be subject to
the executive and legislative branches
of the Givernment. Since the dayB
of John Marshall} the Court has as
serted the right to finally decide
whether Congress or the President
infringes upon the Constitution. For
more than a hundred years, the mean
ing of that document, as translated
into governmental machinery and
using governmental power, has been
influenced by the economic and social
trends of the times and undoubtedly
interpretations have been the result
of the personal philosophies of the
justices.
DR HUSKE TO SPEAK
Dr. B. F. Huske, rector of St
Mary's, Kinston, will be the guest

Farm Group Would
Make Manufacturers
Guarantee Acid-Form

Raleigh, Feb. 17.?Fertilizer manu
facturers, farmers and chemists dis
cussed here yesterday proposed re
visions of the State's fertilizer laws.
Three amendments to the pres
ent law, recommended by the group
follow:
1. To make manufacturers guar
antee the acid forming or non-acid
forming quality of their product.
2. To raise the minimum plant
food content of fertilizer from 14 to
16 per cent, effective December 1,
1939.
3. To assess manufacturers $5 for
each brand of fertilizer sold.
D. S. Coltrane, assistant to the
commissioner of agriculture; Dr. B.
W. Kilgore, State chemist and J.
G. Staton of Wilmington, a member
of the State Board of Agriculture,
led the discussion.
A tax of five cents a ton on agri
cultural lime was recommended.
MUSIC GROUPS
IN CONCERT
A splendid concert, and one very
successful from both angles of pro
gram rendition and attendance, was
that presented by the Fannville
graded school band and the Junior
and Senior Glee Clubs, on Tuesday
evening.
The singers, under the . direction
of Mrs. Daisy H. Smith, with Mrs.
Haywood Smith at the piano, won
praise for their beautiful work, espe
cially *n shading and harmony, and
the band, directed by Mr. Burt, of
Wilson, was given commendation for
the improvement and progress shown.
An appeal from Superintendent J,
H. Moore, in behalf of the mugical
organizations, met with a ready re
sponse from the large audience, which
contributed around $25 to be used in
a final payment for a bass horn and
as the beginning of a fund to insure
entrance of the Glee Clubs in the
annual State music contests.
Warren Seeking Air
Base In This State
Washington, Feb. 16.?Representa

new coast guard aviation station be
tween Cape May, N. J., and Charles
ton, S. C., would be authorized if a
new public works list is submitted
to Congress.
Establishment of a new station has
been approved by the coast guard,
but the budget bureau eliminated a
proposed expenditure for it from the
treasury supply bill reported to the
House yesterday.
Warren said in the event funds
were made available from other
soqrcgs he would seek establish
ment of the station somewhere
along the Northeastern coast of
North Carolina,
Wilson Merchant Held
On Meat Theft Counts
Wilson, Feb. 16.?Joe Boswell, a
Wilson County storekeeper for the
past decade, was bound over to Su
perior Court under an ?800 cash
bond by Magistrate J. R, Hardy to
day on the charge of receiving meat
after Squire Hardy had held a hear
ing on three of nine cases against
the Wilson man and Boswell had
waived hearing on the other six
warrants.
Two other warrants charging Bos
well with receiving stolen meat
were also served on him today by
officers from out of the county. One
of these was a warrant charging
Boswell with receiving around 275
pounds of meat stolen from Clinton
Murphy of Farmville and another
one charged him with receiving
around 1)800 pounds of meat stolen
from Mary B. West of Wayne
County.
Boswell is charged with receiving
around 4,200 pounds of stolen meat
from four Negroes, Willie Smith,
Edgar Hilliard, Roland Hill and
Henry Sheppard, during the last
two months. The Negroes were
bound over to Superior Court by
Magistrate A. J. Hines several days
ago for the robbery of the meat
after local and county officers had
raided Boswell's store and had
found the meat there.

County Liquor Measure
Passed, As Senate Kttls
State-Wide Referendum
' '
r it Liquor Stores in Dry
Voting Townships;
; State Vote -Proposal
i Rejected By 27*to-17
; After Long:' Debate
* ? ?
Raleigh, Feb. 17.?Defeating by 27
1 to 17 an amendment for a State
wide referendum, a burly majority in
the Senate yesterday passed on sec
ond and third readings the county
option liquor control bill after in- .
serting changes which would?
(1) Prohibit drinking at football
games or "at any other public as
sembly." /
(2) Provide that no township
which voted dry, except a county
seat, should have forced on it a
liquor store.
(3) Make liquor prices uniform in
all stores throughout the State.
(4) Require supervision by the
State Board of Alcoholic Control of
all purchases of liquor by county
boards, instead of just in c4ses where
it is deemed necessary. And?
(5) Require written reports from
the sheriffs of counties at regular
intervals on the status of control,
these reports to be read by the Su
perior Court judge to the grand jury.
Back To House.
The bill now goes back to the
House for concurrence in the Senate
amendments.
County elections on the establish
ment of liquor stores may be pos
sible in less than a month after the
bill is ratified.
The measure would authorize
county boards of commissioners to
call for special elections and boards
of elections to set the dates.
An amendment passed by the
Senate, however, specified that at
least 20 -lays notice of an election
must be given in order that voters
may register.
Under the bill, elections also must
be held if demanded by 15 per cent
of the registered voters who partici
pated in the last gubernatorial
election.
No elections would be held in the
17 counties now operating liquor
stores under the New Hanover and
Pasquotank Acts. Not more than
one election on the liquor question
might be held in any three-yetx
period in any one county.
Martin To Try Again.
Senator L. A. Martin of Davidson,
Dry leader and author of the refer
endum measure, yesterday changed
his vote from "aye" to "no" on it
so he might have the privilege of
moving for a reconsideration of the
amendment. He said last night he
would ask reconsideration at the 11
o'clock session this morning, but
legislative leaders saw little chance
for his proposal to succeed. It would
throw the bill back on second read
ing if successful.
No Record Vote.
The Senate vote on the bill itself,
which was not a record vote, came
at the conclusion of a five-hour
session in which no less than 18 of
the 50 Senators took the floor for
some part of the debate. Every
thing from! the white supremacy
campaign of 1898 to the circular let
ter written by Cale K. Burgess, vice
president of the United Dry Forces,
written in April, 1935, and condemn
ing a State-wide referendum?was
injected into the argument.
The Senate majority, quickly
picking up confidence after its vic
tory over the referendum amend
ment, shouted down several others
while adopting the five principal
amendments and clarifying amend
ments. Senator L. Y. Ballentine of
Wake was the sponsor of the first
four, and Senator W. L Halste&d of
Camden wrote into the bill the fifth
amendment, providing for reports
froln enforcement officials.
Senator Martin, after the defeat
of the referendum provision, imme
diately sent forth ope which would
have made the bill apply only to the
18 counties in which legalised liquor
is now available. Proponents, de
claring it would "cut th^,heart out"
of the bill in so far as if pretended
to be a control bill, voted, down the
amendment thunderously.
