Washington, Feb. 23. Pass
age of the Supreme Court Retire
ment Bill will make only a Slight
change in the status of the Jus
tices. Under the present law any
Justice of the Supreme court may
resign at 70 on a pension of full
pay, $20,000 a year, for life.
Justice Holmes, who resigned at
88 and lived for four years long
er, is the only one who has taken
advantage of this law in recent
years—and he refused to take his
pension. One reason why others
have not done so is that their
work on the Bench is so integral
a part of their lives that they do
not like to give it up and go into
enforced idleness so long as they
are still able to perform their ju
dicial duties.
Another, though probably a less
compelling reason why Supreme
Court justices retain their seats
when they could resign, is that
their pensions would be subject to
income tax, which their salaries
are not.
Always a Member
The retirement bill permits any
Justice to retire from active ser
vice on the Bench at or after 70,
but he is still a member of the
Court, as a retired officer of the
Army, and could be called upon
for special duty at any time. His
life tenure is not impaired by the
bill, nor his salary reduced in any
way.
The original purpose of the bill,

the Supreme Court the same re
tirement privilege now enjoyed by
Judges in the lower Federal courts.
The purpose back of the present
revival of the plan, however, is to
make it easier and more attrac
tive to some of the older Justices
to retire now and so oreate va
cancies in the Court which the
President could fill with younger
men.
Flood—Dost—Reclamation
Next to the Supreme Court is
sue, Washington's interest is cen
tering upon the extensive pro
jects of flood control, desert recla
mation and soil conservation,
which are taking concrete form.
The reclamation project, inter
est in which has been stimulated
by the recent recurrence of dust
storms in Oklahoma, outlines a
long-range regional project tak
ing in all or parts of ten states.
The Federal Government, the
state goveariments and local au
thorities in these ten states would
cooperate to put several million
acres back into grass and develop
methods of protecting settlers on
the tillable lands of the region
and providing financial assistance
to such as might need it.
Relief of sufferers from the
Ohio-Mississippi floods comes
ahead of projects for the preven
tion of future floods. Due to the
fact that so much of the $790,-
000,000 just appropriated for th 6
W. P. A. and other relief agen
cies will be needed for immediate
relief work in those river valleys,
Relief Administrator Harry Hop
kins has asked Congress for an
other $200,000,000, which he will
doubtless get.
"Disaster Corporation" Loans"
Congress also passed and the
President has approved a bill cre
ating the "Disaster Corporation,"
authorized to lend up to 20 mil
lion dollars to flood sufferers, who
cannot obtain sufficient credit
from ordinary channels for re
building their homes, shops, farms
and factories. The Reconstruction
Finance Corporation is to supply
the capital.
The Administration's agricul
tural proposals, as now shaped up
include five major projects in the
interest of agriculture. One is
continuance of the soil conserva
tion subsidy plan, estimated to
distribute an annual benefit of
500 million dollars with larger
subsidies in times of big crops.
Plans are also about matured
on new legislation for stronger
voluntary and compulsory produc
tion control than was called for
in the original AAA.
A third proposal is an enlarged
crop insurance plan, to protect
farmers against the hazards of
weather and insects, with the cost
of insurance borne partly by gen
eral taxation.
Fourth is an entirely new pro
ject for cash and credit advances
to individual tenant farmers who
want to work their way from ten
ancy to farm ownership. The fifth
is a broad system of price-fixing
loans on major crops, coupled
with government-financed storage
of surplus commodities.
Those are the elements of the
completely integrated agricultur
al program which was worked
out and unanimously approved at
the conference of fifty farm lead
ers with the Secretary of Agricul
ture and other Administration and
Congressional leaders held here
this month.
No Processing Tax
The new farm program elimi
nates one of the major grounds
upon which AAA was invalidated
by the Supreme Court, which held

fell to Mrs. Grady Cooper. Song,

Mrs. R. A. Freeman in a clever
introductory, presented Mr. A. V.
West, of Mount Airy, who spoke
to the club women on "Citizen -
ship." Mr. West was at his best,
and his speech was most interest
ing and inspirational, as he
brought to mind the needed es

During a social hour refresh
ments were served by the commit

man, chairman, Mrs. A. D. Folger,
Mrs. F. F. Riggs, Mrs. Lee Thomp

Death came to our little town
near the dawn of day on last Wed
nesday morning, and removed
from among us, Mrs. J. R. Saw
yers, widow of the late J. R.
Sawyers who preceded her in
death almost 2 years.
Mrs. Sawyers was 70 years old—
an exemplary Christian woman, a
member of the Methodist church,
and mother of eight living chil
dren who were with her at the
last—except Mrs. Ruth Burton of
California, who was absent be
cause of sickness in her family.

Methodist church on Friday, by

Court which has been in session
that the processing tax for the
benefit of farmers was an improp
er use of the government's taxing
power. The new plan would im
pose no special taxes, taking the
necessary funds from the general
revenue instead of putting the
whole burden upon processors of
agricultural commodities.
The tenant-farmer project has
been mapped on a large scale.
There are estimated to be about
3 million farmers, scattered all
over the nation, who do not own
their land. The plan proposes to
advance government funds to the
extent of ten minion dollars a
year to enable tenants to buy ap
proved farms, which would pro
vide for 2,000 or 2,500 farmers an
nually.
States are to be urged to re
form their tenancy laws, which
are generally regarded as less fair
to the tenant than are the land
laws of England.
Under this plan the government
would buy millions of acres and
resell to farmers who are now ten
ants such parts of it as are suit
able for farming.
Speculation in farm land is to
be discouraged or prevented, and
land prices, mortgage interest and
other credits regulated by law.
during the pait wade, progressed
nicely and a great many cases
were disposed of. under the effi
cient supervision of Judge Hill
and solicitor Allen Owyn. several
cases are on docket to be tried
the coming week. In addition to

Mr. F. P. Burton and Mr. Joyce
of Stuart, Va., were In attendance
at court.
Jack Fletcher, a deal and dumb
colored man, who lived In Dobson,
was burned to death Thursday
night.
He was found In the edge of
the woods near the public high
way, just out of Dobson, dead with
his clothes burned off. Just ho'w
the tragedy occurred Is not known.
He had been at work in a gar
age and it is thought a match

was a good capenter and Dobson
will miss his odd jobs.
