WHAT IS NEXT Washington, Nov 20.—Now that there has been time to take a long breath and analyze the election re turns, political Washington and there isn't anything in Washington that isn't political—has resumed its favorite pastime, which is guessing what is going to come next. The three brain-teasers over which the soothsayers and self-appointed pro phets are puzzling at the moment, are: > What will the Administration try next in its effort to get workers off the relief rolls and the wheels of business rolling full speed again? Will the new Congress eat out of the President's hand like the old one, or will it take the bit in its teeth and jump over the traces? | A SAFE AS PURE DRUGS AND Careful Compounding CAN MAKE THEM!

C. p P'' l ° o 1 En a What is there ahead for the Re publican Party? Curiously enough the answers to that last question are easier to guess than the others. The man in the street is saying that the Republican party is dead. The same unthink ing folk were saying the same thing about the Democratic party in 1920 —not to go any further back—and again in 1924 and 1928. But the real students of politics point out that great political parties are not "killed" by one or two or even a dozen national defeats. G. O. P. Roots Still Deep The wise ones are pointing out that, although only 28 of the 47 millions of registered voters went to he polls on November 6th, 12 mil lions of them voted the Republican ticket pretty nearly straight. "And there are plenty county and town boards that are still solidly Republi can. It is from local units that any national party derives its strength. The roots of the Republican party are still pretty deep in the soil. It was only the upper branches, in cluding a good many dead limbs, that were killed in the Democratic landslides of 1932 and 1934. In the inner circle of forward looking Republican leadership there are few tears being shed over the defeat of Senator Reed in Pennsyl vania and of several other members of the "Old Guard" elsewhere. Their loss simplifies the job of re organizing the party. Looking For Leaders Where the leadership will be lodged it is too early to predict. At the moment the "white hope" of the Republicans is Arthur H. Van denberg of Grand Rapids, Michi gan, just re-elected to the Senate. THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA In the party ranks this newspaper editor has made a name for him self. He was the party's candidate for President Pro Tem when the Senate of the 73rd Congress was or ganized, and is chairman of the legislative committee of the Senate minority. He is distinctly a Liberal in his political outlook, and he has the geographical advantage of hail ing from the Middle West. The fact that Republican leaders are pinning their faith on Senator Vandenberg is sufficient indication of their realization that the party must throw the "die-hards" and the Eastern "big business" interests overboard if it hopes to survive as an effective Opposition party. And such examination of the personnel of the new Congress as toas been possible thus far indicates that there will be plenty of Radical proposals for Liberals, by whatever party name they call themselves, to op pose. Stronger Blocs Loom The indications are that there will be stronger "blocs" than have ever been seen on Capitol Hill, urging in flation of the currency, government cotrol of credit and banking, wild universal pension schemes (there are -expected to be 10 million signatures on the petition for the adoption of the Townsend plan for giving every body over 60 a pension of S2OO a month) immediate payment of the veterans' bonus, tax schemes of the "soak-the-rich" variety, and, of course, projects for vastly greater Government spending than have yet been dreamed of. The President's major task, poli tical wiseacres predict, will be to control this tendency to run wild on the part of Congress. Reports credi ted here are that he would like to see Representative Sam Rayburn of Texas in the Speaker's chair, va cated by the death of Speaker Rainey. Mr. Rayburn is regarded as a strong character and a sound poli tician. He was the President's right arm in getting the Stock Exchange Control bill and the Securities Act through the last Congress. But back-slapping Joe Byrns of Tennes see has a lot of members pledged to himself. It looks like a scrap. This and That News The latest "trial balloon", sent up by the Administration to sound out public sentiment, is the project for a series of intermediate credit banks to lend up to two or three billions to small industries on five year terms, to enable them to start up and put men back to work. How to reduce the 18 millions now on relief to three or four mil lions is still the greatest problem Mr. Roosevelt faces. Thfere have been suggestions that Government guarantees of profits in the staple industries might stimulate private capital to start the wheels turning again. The banks have plenty of money and are willing to lend it; the trouble is that few competent busi ness men are willing to take the risk of borrowing until they get some as surance from Washington that the government's financial and business policies have been stabilized. And the Administration is beginning to understand that it#" great housing program, intended to be financed by private capital, can't get very far until people who want homes are back on reasonably stable payrolls. Senator Borah's demand for an investigation of waste and graft in the distribution of relief funds is be ing taken seriously. The investiga tion is to be made by Relief Admin istrator Harry Hopkins, who stands out as one of the high officials who does not let political consideration warp his integrity or his judgment.

Tax Certificates of land sold and of necessity bought in by County. These unpaid taxes represent not only any surplus the County might have, but its principal—its ALL. Unless these taxes are paid the' County must of necessity go bankrupt. If you have bought a piece of Real Estate in the last few years make sure the taxes have been paid prior to the year you first listed it. If you have 1931 taxes, or back, unpaid—pay them now. All old taxes that are not paid at once will have to bear the expense of a suit in Court in addition to the tax, interest and cost. I have, and am still, glad to co-operate with you by giving you any information possible, by correcting errors or in any way helping you, ex cept remit the taxes. The law will not permit the Board of Commissioners or anyone connected with collection of taxes to remit or reduce anything connected with old taxes. . . Please don't get it in your mind that any of the taxes are too old, or that time for enforcing collection has passed. The Statute of Limitations never runs against the County. Neither friendship nor politics—weal nor woe—will influence us in the collection of these taxes. They must be collected—we must collect them. It is only fair to yourself, and those citizens of the County who have all the time paid their taxes, that you pay yours, so pay your old taxes, save yourself money and trouble, and save us the unpleasant task of forc ing anyone to do anything.
