Entered as Second Class Matter January 19, 1923, at the Postofflce at Wallace, Noorth Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879. Thursday, January 16, 1936 Advertising is not- a necessity; you can quit business. What head of the house can accurately ex plain why we have Leap Year? Farmers always take risks when they plant and this year will be no exception. AS 1936 BEGINS This newspaper begins the year 1936 with certain improvements in mind, but- with the recognition that these depend as much upon our public as upon ourselves. The editor and publisher of this newspaper constantly have in mind its possible better ment. The field of service is large and we try to fill it as best we can. We doubt if there are any other businesses ■which undertake so much work for the bene fit of the public as the newspapers of the coun try. Of course, it is to their interest to do so, but very often, in certain cases, it means a loss of revenue and certain punishment for a newspaper to act in the public interest. Only in the long run, when one contemplates the ad miration and respect which an honest news paper acquires, is the statement that “it pays' applicable to newspaper service. With this in mind, we do not hesitate to re quest the support of all those who consider this newspaper as worthy of public recognition. To them, we pledge -again, what we have often pledged, our best work in the interest of the jgreater growth of this county and the better ment of every condition that is for the bene fit of its citizens. OPTIMISM FOR 1936 Nationwide signs indicate that recovery i3 ■well on the way and “we now have a broader and firmer foundation than in preceding years on which to build in 1936,” says Secretary of Commerce Roper. Among the favorable signs listed by the Sec retary were the following: A ten percent increase in factory employ ment. A twenty-five per cent increase in factory payrolls. Maintenance of the 1934 level of factory v- ages. A twenty-five per cent increase in produc tion of durable goods. A twenty per cent increase in sales of gen eral merchandise in rural areas. An increase of forty per cent in dollar ex penditures for new passenger automobiles. A five per cent increase in urban sales of general merchandise. A continued growtn in the dollar value of American foreign trade. American exports highest since 1931. A decline in railroad deficits. A rising tendency in security market. Further improvement in agriculture. DEATH OF THE AAA The summary execution of the Agricultural Adjustment Act by the majority opinion of the United States Supreme Court is not remark able when one considers the antecedent lives cf the justices, and the effect of their decision cannot be estimated until it is seen whether new legislation, within the Constitution, can ■ bring about what the AAA aimed at-. This newspaper is not inclined to blame a court for the opinion of it-s judges, regardless of what that may be. Every American knows that the government is divided into thre divi sions and that it is given to the Supreme Court to pass judgment upon every statute. If the judgments rendered do not conform to popu lar opinion the remedy lies in amenfling the Constitution or awaiting the inevitable alter ation of the judicial personnel. The chief concern of this newspaper is in the effect that the sweeping judicial pronounce ment will have upon the welfare of the farm ers of the United States. We have asserted time and again that American agriculture has been mistreated in this country since 1921 until the recent past. The fact that our far mers have been bled white for years is well established. The enactment of the AAA was an effort to readjust an economic situation that was unjust and intolerable. Whether it was the best effort is an academic question but whether the decision of the Supreme Court has rendered impossible further effort is the vitai issue now. Farmers of the United States should not fail to impress upon every political candidate their demand for full economic parity, for an in come in proportion to that of other classes, for the jight to use the powers of government to protect them as well as industry and to give them the advantages that flow to industry through production and price control. We are not demanding any particular plan or program. Any one scheme that works, put ting dollars in farm purses, will suit us. The national welfare requires that farm purchas ing power be sustained at a ratio higher than that yet attained. Farmers, who vote right, can have much to do with restoring to them selves all that they haveiieen denied for many years. <■ fl Washington News I For U. S. Farmers AAA AFTERMATH OPINION DIVIDED MAY MEAN NEW FIGHT COTTON CRISIS The Supreme Court’s decision, invalidating the AAA, is not expected to have an immediate harmful effect on farm prices and incomes, in asmuch as some experts believe that removal of the processing taxes will cause prices to rise sufficiently to offset the loss of benefit pay ments. However, the long-time effect of the decision, unless it is remedied by new legislation, causes considerable alarm. This is based on the be lief that absence of control measures will mean substantially increased production to be fol lowed inevitably by price declines. The decision of the court was called “a stunning blow to national economic recovery’’ by Edward A. O’Neal, head of the American Farm Bureau Federation, who predicted a fight with all gloves off. Mr. O’Neal has been an ardent advocate of the present program, which, he considers, is a/ child or organized ag riculture. He insists that farmers will not stand idly by and watch the fight for economic equality and parity swept into the discard. He looks to Congress to provide legislation to meet the situation and insists thart; if this is possible under the Constitution, “steps will be taken immediately to amend the Constitution.” He attacked the enemies of the program as ene mies of the Republic who have left no stone unturned to keep the farmer impoverished and to reduce him to a state of peasantry. On the other hand, Charles A. Ewing, pre sident of the National Livestock Marketing Association, hailed the Court as “our greatest safeguard of Democratic Government” and de clared that “we must now develop a program legally and economically sound.” He believes it possible “without regimentation and with out resort to a policy of scarcity” to establish more stable and better markets for livestock. Walter M. Singler, head of the Wisconsin cooperative Milk Fool, and H. C. Kenney of the Nebraska Farmer’s Union, said the decision was what they expected and the latter expres sed the belief that a majority of the farmers “were against the AAA and hoping they could get away from it.” Stanley F. Morse, of the Farmers Indepen dence Council, said, “The farmers can thank the Supreme Court.” He denounced bureau crats masquerading as benefactors of the far mer and said that the decision leads to the conclusion that the real object of the AAA must have been to catch the farmers’ vote and to regiment farmers into collectivism. Earl Smith, President, of the Illinois Agri cultural Association, who helped draft the AAA said that national recovery is in large part due to the AAA. He believes that a vase majority of farmers and of the members of Congress hold to the same convictions and that steps to cure defects in the act will be taken immediately. ting from the Su eatens cotton be ®; handle the prob to farm relief »' . . _ _ __ ...._v --'vvn "Falsehood is the devil's daughter, speaking her father’s language."

Card of Thanks I do not wish to be tiresome or to monopollize space in the paper which perhaps could be more profitably utilized but I feel that I owe the good people of Wallace more than just a stilted card of thanks for all that has been done for us. I feel that I want you to know more intimately just what your thoughtfulness and kindness has meant to us. The knowledge that through your generosity I was enabled to better provide for the com fort of our departed loved one has been a great consolation to me in my hour of bereavement.
