WASHINGTON
Washington, February 25.—The 8
to 1 decision of the Supreme Court,
holding the Tennessee Valley Au
thority Act to be Constitutional and
within the powers of Congress, has
greatly heartened the Administration
and its supporters. The decision is
taken as clearing the way for Feder
al activity in other directions.
It at least confirms the power of
the Government to produce and dis
post of electrical energy as a by
product to the eontrol of navigable
waters, and is taken as removing
any doubts about the Constitutional
rights involved in the Passamaquady
Power Project, the Grand Coulee
Dam and other important public
works.
This T. V. A. decision is the sec
ond decision of the Supreme Court
A Three Days' Cough
Is Your Danger Signal
No matter how many medicines you
have tried for your cough, chest cold
or bronchial irritation, you can get re
lief now with Creomulsion. Serious
trouble may be brewing and you can
not afford to take a chance with any
thing less than Creomulsion, which
goes right to the seat of the trouble
to aid nature to soothe and heal the
inflamed membranes as the germ-laden
phlegm is loosened and expelled.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, your druggist is
authorized to guarantee Creomulsion
and to refund your money if you are not
satisfied with results from the very first
bottle. Get Creomulsion right now. (Adv.i

upholding one of the major features
of the New Deal. The first was in
the gold clause suits.
f Outlook On Housing
There is a general feeling here
that the Government's housing
program is not progressing as rap
idly as was hoped. Two distinct sets
of ideas on the subject are in sharp
conflict. There is one faction in
the Administration which wants the
Federal Government to content 'it
self with fostering building loans to
private enterprises and guarantee
ing mortgages. They maintain that
private capital is ready to go ahead
and put men at work if It can be
assured that the Government is not
going into the housing field.
On the other hand is the "social-'
minded" group, which holds it the
Government's duty to finance and
build new homes for the underpriv
ileged everywhere. Until this con
flict of viewpoints is dissolved, the
outlook is that the new building pro
gram for 1936 will be about 200,000
family units, dwellings and apart
ments.
Farm Aid Distribution
A shrewd political observer re
marked the other day that very few
persons in or out of Congress un
derstood much about the new farm
aid program, except that it means
checks for the farmers.
The estimate of cash distributions
to farmers this year is that they
will run to at least $800,000,000.
About $200,000,000 will be distributed
on existing contracts under the old
AAA. Another $300,000,000 is ex
pected to go to the farmers by June
30 under the new farm law.
This distribution will begin in the
cotton belt during March and
swinging northward through the to
bacco country into the corn, hog,
and wheat regions as the season
progresses. will likely
be similarly distributed later in the
fall.
Recent developments indicate that
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
only one of the four national farm
er organizations is satisfied with the
new farm aid plan. That is the
Farm - Bureau Federation.
The National the Farm
ers' Union and the National Coop
erative Council are not giving any
active support to the plan, but
neither are they raising any objec
tions to the distribution of funds to
agriculture.
Taxes, Mortgages and War
Little progress has seemingly
been made in developing a workable
system of taxation to provide for
the new farm benefit payments and
other extraordinary expenses. That
there will be some new taxes is cer
tain, but they will be figured out to
touch the average citizen's pocket
book as'lightly as possible.
The Frazier-Lemke bill for the
taking over of farm mortgages by
the Government and issuing green
back currency for that purpose is
showing new signs of life. Some ob
servers think it stands a good
chance of being enacted by the
House and a possible chance of get
ting through the Senate. It would
then likely run up against a Presi
aential veto, it is thought here, and
there would not be votes errmgh to
pass it over the veto.
A bitter debate is expected on the
proposed neutrality legislation.
Senator Nye and his followers who
believe that Congress can by law
insure against the participation of
the Unitea States in any future war
intend to put up a fight for their
beliefs. Those who know how to
gauge Congressional probabilities in
sist that all that will come of it will
be a renewal of the neutrality reso
lution passed last Summer, which
expires by limitation on February 28.
The Political Pot
Politically, major interest centers
on the question of what A 1 Smith
and his followers intend to do at
the Philadelphia convention. It, is
reported they are planning to stage
a sensational walk-out, which may
or may not presage a third ticket.
, The general belief is that if A 1
stages such a bolt, the bolters will
go along with the Republicans, pro
vided the Republican candidate is
satisfactory to their aims. They will
not be satisfeid with either Senator
Borah or Mr. Hoover, but almost any
other Republican now in the run
ning might gain their support.
Oovernor Landon's strength is
growing, and so is that of Prank
Knox. Senator Vandenburg, of
Michigan, is the subject of many
kind words. Senator Dickinson's
friends profess great confidence
that he will be the compromise can
didate.
The feeling grows that no Repub
lican candidate will go to the Cleve
land Convention with enough
pledged delegates to make it diffi
cult to beat him, although Senator
Borah is expected to have about 200
instructed delegates when the Con
vention opens.
