Next Congress Will Be Asked
To Impeach Secretary Mellon
Washington, Sept. 28—Alter
accumulating data on Secretary
Mellon all summer, Representa
tive Patman (D), Texas, today
reiterated his intention of bring
ing impeachment proceedings
against the Treasury head when
Congress convenes.
Citing the law that prohibits
a Secretary of the Treasury
from being directly or indirect
ly interested in trade and com
merce, the Texan said Mellon
had violated his oath of office.
He said the Treasury Secretary
was a stockholder in the Alum
inum Company of America, and
that he and his family owned
and controlled the Gulf Oil Cor
poratiorf and Hoppers Company.
Secretary Mellon declined to
comment on the charges main
taining the .same attitude as
when Patman made similar an
nouncement in Texas some
time ago.
It was recalled at the Treas
ury, however, that supreme
court decisions had held that
ownership of stock. ■ in a cor
poration did not bring a Sec
retary of the Treasury in con
flict with the law which pro
hibits him from engaging in
commerce.
Previously, Secretary Mellon
had said he had severed all bus
iness connections when ho he
came Secretary ot the i roas
ury and had no part whatever
in carrying on the business ot
any corporation ih' which he
owned stock.
The Gulf Oil Corporation,
Patman said, Was a holding
company which owned mam
ships under foreign registry.
He said the law provides that, a
Secretary of the Treasury shall
not be “the owner in whole or
in part of any vessel.”
The" law- further stipulates
that “every person who offends
against the prohibitions of this
section shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor and forfeit
to the United States the penalty
of $3,000 and shall upon con
viction be removed from office
and forever thereafter be in
capable of holding any office
under the United States.
The Texan said that Mellon
“plainly, as stockholder in these
companies, is directly interest
ed in the business ot trade ami
commerce, and comes under the
meaning of the law.”
The proceedings, Patman con
tinued, would be instituted by a
privileged resolution he plans
to introduce. Under usual pro
ceedings, the Mouse member
may take the floor on a point
of high personal privilege to
present the measure. It then
may be referred by the speaker
of the judiciary committee for
investigation.
The action of the House on
its committee’s report would de
termine whether Mellon would
be tried before the Senate,
which would act as a,court.
Patman said he would show
that the Koppers Company, con
trolled by Mellon and his as
sociates, was constructing a
$200,000,000 steel,iron and coke
plant in the Ural mountains of
the Soviet. He also said he had
evidence that the Gulf Oil Cor
poration operated ships under
foreign registry to avoid the
'benefits for seamen carried in
the Amercan Merchant Marine
act.
“Mr. Mellon relinquished his
position on the board of di
rectors of the Aluminum Com
pany,” Patman, said, “but as a
stockholder, he directs the
board. Hid brother represents
him.”
Mellon today declined to com
ment upon the action of the
Aluminum Corporation in re
ducing-salaries TO per cent.
Patman’s attack is one of a
long list upon the Secretary of
the Treasury by members of
’ Congress.
Former Senator Tom Watson,
of Georgia, was among the-first
to criticize. Since then there
have been a succession of at
tacks by various members of
Congress, all of which have
brought only a smile and a
shrug from the Secretary as he
followed the policy of never
commenting upon them in any
way.
At one time a congressional
investigation of charges that
the Secretary was acting in con
flict with the law was conduct
ed. It was found that he had
divested himself of all connec
tions. It-was also pointed out
that the Supreme Court had
held that a stockholder of a
corporation had no part in its
management and no influence
or power, but that its officers
carried on its business. It was
said that exhaustive research
had shown that every Secretary
of the Treasury since Alexander
Hamilton, had owned stocks in
various business enterprises.
double feed money
by selling to cows
Fourteen dollars worth of
farm-grown feed fed to good
average cows will' produce ?—• •
worth of butterfat at present
prices and will leave $5.60
worth of skimmilk on the farm
to say nothing of the manure.
“At the present prices of but
terfat, the man who has pro
duced a surplus of forage and
other dairy food can sell this
feed through cows for a fairly
good return for his labor,” says
A C. Kimrey, dairy extension
specialist at State College. “The
relation between the farm price
of dairy feeds and butterfat is
favorable now and bids fair to
remain so through the coming
winter. Records kept on pres
ent market conditions show
that if $14 worth of> feed is fed
to good average cows, it will
produce 100 pounds of buttei -
fat. When sold for buttermak
ing purposes, this fat is worth
$28. In addition there will be
left on the farm about 1,000
pounds of skimmilk worth 85
cents a hundred pounds. This
is excellent for feeding to poul
try or hogs and when so fed
has a value of $5.60.”
In addition to these values,
75 per cent of the plant food in
the feedstuffs will go back to
the farm in the form of ma
nure and thus cut down the
fertilizer bill, says Mr. Kimrey
The return from selling food
stuffs through cows does rol
suggest that any one will gel
rich from the project, cautions
Mr. Kimrey, but he does sug
gest that a better price will be
received for the grains and ha>
than if the same material is
sold in the raw state. In addi
tion, there is the advantage ol
a steady income each montl
from the sale of cream.
Nine Baptised
Rev. Henry Willis brough
his series of meetings at Pin<
Hall to a close Sunday night
at which time nine were bap
tised and joined the church
Of these seven were adults
Much interest was- tnanifestec
in these meetings by the citi

CAN MORE TOMATOES
BEFORE SEASON CLOSES
If every member of the fam
ily does not have a minimum
of nine quarts of canned toma
toes for food this winter, more
should be canned before the
season closes.
“Ripe tomatoes contain val
uable food elements that are
necessary to good nutrition and
when grown and canned at
home provide an inexpensive
food,” says Miss Mary Thomas,
extension specialist in nutrition
at State College. “Tomatoes
are valuable in the diet wheth
er raw or cooked or canned.
They may be substituted for
oranges and they rank with
these as one of the richest
sources of vitamin C, They are
superior to oranges as sources
of vitamins A, B, and G. This
means that the tomatoes con
tain those food elements which
promote growth and help to
keep the tissues of the eye, ear,
nose and throat resistant to in
fection. They stimulate the ap
petite, aid in the digestive pro
i cesses and prevent pellagra.
Tomatoes should be eaten at
least -three times a week
throughout the year.”
In planning the supply need
| ed by the family this winter, be
i sure to count in the baby, says
Miss Thomas. Babies grow bet
ter, show less tendency to be
j anemic and develop better
teeth if vitamin C has been a
part of their regular diet since
! infancy. Every member of the
family should have at least
nine quarts canned by now for
: use next winter. If this amount
i has not been canned, a new
] supply should be conserved be
| fore the season is gone.
Miss Thomas claims that no
other garden product is easier
to can nor may be used in such
I a variety of ways. No other
garden product will do more to
protect the family health and
pocket book next winter.

Madison Market
Leads in High
Opening Prices
The Better tirades Are^Doing
Fairly Well, But There Is No
Demand For The Common
Grades; Madison Averaged
$11.12
SO far as we have been able
to learn Madison lead the mar
ket in the old belt for high
prices on opening day, Tuesday,
with an average of $11.12.
There was a good break and a
large crowd was present to see
just what was to be done about
it.
There was some good tobacco
and much that was not worth
hauling to the market, though
the growers, some of them, will
persist in bringing this stuff
and thus cluttering up the
market.
There was some dissatisfac
tion; some were pleased in get-,
ting more than they expected,
while others did as well as they
had expected. And thus it goes.
The better grades are prob
ably bringing more than they
did last year, hut the common
grades are not bringing even as
much as they did last season.
The warehousemen are work
ing awful hard to secure every
dollar possible, but the buyers
have orders from higher up and
canijot go above the limit. But
the fact that Madison lead with
the highest average Tuesday is
conclusive proof that this is the
logical point to sell your to
bacco, from the fact that due
Consideration is given e&ch
pile, without rushing through,
as do the larger markets.
The following gentlemen are
the buyers; A. A. Fowler, Rey
nolds; H. J. Penn, American;
Jim Atkins, Export; Jack Web
ster, Liggett & Myers, These
same buyers are also repre
senting many of the independ
ent concerns, and besides, there
are several independent buyers
on the local market.

Fhe Legionaires Back
Home To Be Heard From
Washington, Sept. 27—Henry
'... Stevens,: Jr., arrived here to
i.ay to find the American legion
vhich he now heads named as a
specia 1 objective in 1932 cam
paign plans of organized prohi
ntion forces.
The new national commander
)f legionnaires came to return
President Hoover’s unexpected
•all on the Detroit convention,
.vhere the vote was cast that
jtirred dry leaders to action.
He will see Mr. Hoover tomor
row.
His voice a trifle hoarse from
i week of talking politics,
Stevens was looking forward to
solitude and fishing at Hoan
)kke Island, N. C. He met a
var muster of dry intent upon
•eaching prohibition adherents
n the legion when they con
end did not attend the con
tention.
A two-day meeting of the
)oard of strategy of the nation
il conference of organizations
iupporting the 18 th aniend
nent had just drafted a plan of
tttacks making the legion, la
>or unions, lawyers and doc
ors the particular fields for
lew prohibition campaigns.
Stevens reiterated he is a
‘personal dry from a dry-vot
ng state.”
“But this a government by
he majority,” he said. “One of
he best places to feel the pulse.
>f the people is in a Pullman
imoking room.
“I have yet to sit in on a
moker conversation where The
iubject did not eventually drift
o prohibition and stay for a
horough discussion. I believe
ve should really find out what
sire American people want.That
vill end it, one way or anoth
er.”
The method of “finding out,”
Stevens said, was- “up to the
dates.”
However, Ernest II. Cherring
son, chairman of the prohibi
sion board of stategy, said, “it
Is self-evident that the action
aken by the delegates to the
egion convention was not rep
resentative of the whole body.”
Dry legionnaires Will be
reached in the new drive plan
ned by his board which believes
‘the great body of these ex-sol
iiers have 'not found opportu
nity for expression through
their organization.”
The drys also will direct a
campaign toward local labor
unions “whose support of this
national policy is being ignored
by professional labor leaders.”
The board said it believed a
majority of the legion and la
bor, attorneys and physicians
“is in favor of the maintenance
of the 1.8th amendment."
Despite the froth of words
over prohibition and beer. Stev -
ens said more concerned with
rehabilitation his conferences
in the capital were measure.* to
be discussed in legislative halls
this winter. On the bonu
question he said •
“The President, made a fine
presentation, and it is-cordially
received. But I realize that, ,
en so, many bills for the bonus
probably will be introduce-,i at
the next session of Congress
However, it is my beli’ef fh-r De
troit action was the considered
judgment of the legion', that the
delegates truly presented the
sentiment of the people back
home.”

Sales Tax Proposal
Said To Be Favored
By Treasury Chief
.Washington.; Sept. 27—Fol
lowing the visit, of President
Hoover to Detroit, where he ad
monished the American Legion
to: have a card with respect to
any designs they might have oh
the treasury, the President re
turned to Washington to repeat
suyh admonitions. It is sus
petted that the President is not
unmindful the fact that a
presidential campaign is on the
way, and would like very much
to. avoid the necessity of in
creasing taxes. At any rate,
iris advisers would like to avoid
such’ danger..
But in view of the fact that
'Congress may have to deal with
the tax question, the. treasury
department will present to (j’re t
id.ent Hoover d proposed tax
plan to meet ..the-deficit, now
/estimated- at about one and. one
half.billion dollars on the year’s
business. Whether the Presi
dent- will recommend action by
Congress during the winter is.
doubtful: ;is before stated, be
cause there will be no way of
. sugaf-t-oating the fax to make
the people like it.
the treasury attitude is said
to .lean to the sales tax as the
best- method of spreading the
payments .among, all the people.
'Senator Reed. of Pennsylvania
is an advocate of. the sales tax,!
to be applied in a limited way,
and recently discussed the sit-1
nation with the President. Fol
lowing the visit of Senator Reed
to the White House, however,
there was nothing to-indicate
that the President’s opposition
to a tax increase has. been al-'
tered.
Senator Reed pointed out that
the people are paying a sales
lax .on cigarettes, which
/amounts to 125 pci' cent, and
the senator thinks there is no
coiiiphrint. But the senator-has
fail-, n into some error in this
res.pecL A number of members
both of the house and senate,
have for some time been of the
opinion that tobacco products
are carrying too heavy a load
of federal taxes, and that a rea
_son ah I e, reduction would enable
the tobacco companies to pay
more to the farmers for their
raw materials. The government
gets the first dollar out of ev
ery pound of tobacco used in
the manufacture of cigarettes. J
"If every person having ap
U;., nnir Of* it veai v\cic
to at! K- al! his expenditures to
taxed articles Under the plan I
pi'o]io>e, he would contribute to
the government $10,” said Sen
ator Reed. \
His tax wotml be a tax of
one-half of one per cent, on
each sale,, but applied only to a
limited number of articles. But
sales tax.now being paid are ill
the shape <•: internal revenue
tax. wherein the tax is included
in the purchase price and the
buyer does not see it. It would
-by—liiilic-uU- if an article were
slid for 2b cents, and the store
clerk should ask for another
penny as a government tax. The
purchaser would probably go
away mad at both the store and
the government. Already some
of the retail interests are regis
tering a protest against the
sales . tax proposal. It would
mean aii immense amount of
bookkeeping and auditing on
the part of the,retailer.'
r'h se who have lined tip
against the sales tax idea say
if® thi money is greatly needed
bv the p ivernment it should be
obtained.-by. higher income tax
es. especially in the upper
brackets, which of course mean
thy people with great incomes.
There would be no increase in
the normal tax under this plan,
a lid, the man on salary would
continue to pay what he did
this year. As it is. due to bus
. ines's losses - and other costs
w.hft-h the li^w recognizes, in
cbme tax payments in 11)22, %■.
applied to incomes of this y;aw
are expected- to• show a drastic
drop. This is one of the argu
ments being1 advanced in favor
of the sales tax.
The treasury has already
shifted a billion dollars oi the
deficit to the national debt by
issuing 25-year obligations, an.'
this policy is finding favor with
some of" the administration
; leaders; but' they think this
should be done by short time
paper.
HEAVY RAIN FELL IN
. THIS SECTION SATURDAY
The heaviest rain fall ef ttie
season visited this section Sat
urday afternoon, and at times
looked almost . like a .Cloud
hurst. The drains and gutters
were not sufficient to take care
of the waters and everything
was flooded. No hail fell in
this immediate- section, but in
some sectons of the county and
Stokes the hail did considerable
damage to late crops, especial
ly late tobacco.
Sixty-eight fat hogs sold bj
Pitt county farmers last wee!
netted the growers $375 above

which was seiseo. 'A hile he

Farmers Saving Feed
Our farmer friends, that is
a large majority of them, will
certainly not be patrons of the
western hay fields and corn
fields this coming year, for they
have corn, and have harvested
a larger amount of feed for
their stock than for many
years. This shows that our
farmer friends have at last
realized that they have made a
grave mistake in the past by
not doing this. And it is also
a pleasure to learn that more
; meat is now in the making than
fbr mahv years. “The Live-at
Home” idea is being practiced
i to a larger extent this year
I than ever before, we are pleas
ed to learn.
