This will be strictly adhered to, WKDNESD’Y, APR. 13, 1932 — 1 » «■***«• —-■ TWINKLES A politician’s nightmare; Having to take an out-and out, public stand on the veterans’ bonus proposition. There's something wrong in the political realm. It's been at least a week now since Johnny Raskob has baen “cussed out.” The Senate is to make an inquiry ir^o stock market speculations, but the average investor has already been making inquiry as to where the bottom is, if any. President Hoover threw out the first baseball at Wash ington in opening the major league season. Wonder if he'll still be in the big leagues next spring, or if that fir»t ball will be tossed out by another? It is too early as yet to say which candidate for gover nor will carry Cleveland ^county, but it is a sure that that Mr. Ehringhaus gained new friends and supporter# in his address here this week. And it was already being said that the bigger portion of the vote in Cleveland would be divided between Ehringhaus and Maxwell. —THEN DO IT! SENATOR BORAH, according to Arthur Brisbane, say a it# would be easy enough to reduce the governmental ex penses of the United States five hundred million dollars a year, Mr. Brisbane rightly says Senator Borah should b# asked how to do it and then do it. But can he 7 Will not the hundreds who live upon Federal tax-payers in Washington and elsewhere exert their influence to block such a just economical program? If not, why is it being held up, and who by ? A BLOW TO THE BOYS THIS SECTION regrets to hear that a number of Cleveland County boys at Wake Forest college suffered a loss In a fire which blazed up in a building used by the Boiling Spring* club. The boys were doing an admirable thing In economizing by living in a semi “baching” manner, and, al though they do not have the money to buy new equipment for this year, it is to be hoped that the same determination will show them some method of fighting it out and remain ing in school. A boy who is willing to get down and dig in order to educate himself in a time when there is a shortage of money, is entitled to an education. • SETTING N ATIONAL ATTENTION LOUISE WHTTENER, the South Shelby school girl, 1* to b« congratulated upon the honor she brings to the com munity in being invited to participate in the program of the national Red Cross convention at Washington yesterday. She must be, as the scholastic records and the honors com ing to her show, an unusual young lady—one that more will be heard from. And her school principal, Miss Selma Webb, * and the school system encouraging participation by the stu dents in junior Red Cross work are deserving of praise for the successful achievements of little Miss Whitener and others. N. C. FOR ROOSEVELT IT HAS BEEN the general sentiment for months that North Carolina Democrats, the majority of them, favor Roose velt as their presidential candidate. Now it seems as If party leaders are sensing the sentiment and have started talking out. - From Raleigh comes the. word that Odus M. Mull, of Shelby, Slate chairman, believes the State delegation will go to the Chicago convention Instructed for Roosevelt. Such may not happen as anything may take place at the State convention. But whether or not the North Carolina delega tion goes instructed for the New Yorker it is pretty certain that unofficially the delegates will be for him. It’s getting that way all over the nation as the Roosevelt tide gains mo mentum—a momentum that should carry him into the White House in November. STARTING ANOTHER “JOY RIDE” PRESIDENT HOOVER appears inclined to lend his influence to the bringing about of another “joy ride”—a joy ride similar to the one that produced the present headache. Last week he issued a statement suggesting that proa pective purchasers of automobiles buy their new motor cars now to aid in speeding business recovering. The advice as it pertains to those who have the money with which to pur chase new’ earsr, or, at least, an idea where the money is coming from, is all right., but beyond that it is not. Evidently Mr, Hoover practices what he preaches. Ip this instance at least, for a day or two later came the news that nine new automobiles were parked in the White House garage. They were not outright purchases, but trade-ins for the old cars. Each of the three secretaries to the President wifl use one of the big cars, the President has two for him self as does Mrs. Hoover, and two more cars kept about for ‘emergency purposes” and transportation of guests. ’’’formation, as may be noted, that differs consider tak«Tv©u*_, , I fMTOPtV *» TMli ***** ably from the newt of two month* ago that Speaker Jack Garner refused to uae the limousine his office entitles him to in order to save the tax-payers that much—no great sum, but that much. t SOME SALARY KINKS THE SALARY SITUATION In North Carolina, m Tha Char ' lotto Obaarvar says, present! »oma curious “kinks.” Tha salary topic has baan a popular on# of racant weeks and months. Tax-payers have been demanding and secur ing salary cuts in county and State offices. Tha delving into tha salary matter has brought forth soma unusual figures. Among those first to volunteer a cut in their salaries ware Governor Gardner and the lata State Treasurer Nathan O'Barry. Neither could have been cut had they chosen to hide behind their constitutional rights, but months ago both voluntarily began returning 10 percent of tha checks to the State treasury. Since then Governor Gardner made another voluntary cut in his pay. Now, as The Observer points out, there are school superintendents drawing more pay than the Governor. Some heads of educa tional institutions draw salaries almost double that paid the executive head of the entire State. Something wrong there. A Governor reducing his salary below the point where it can cover actual expenses of the governor’s mansion and school teachers having their pay cut, but high salaries going on to educational leaders. And, as we've see it from the sidelines, the higher-salaried educational authorities have done more howling about the little teacher being cut than have the tfachsrt. PROTECTING THE CHILDREN SOME WEEKS AGO, niter making an inspection, a State highway patrolman declared the school buses in Cleve land county to be in good, safe condition. In his inspection he found brakes and practically all other safety devices and requirements in A-l condition. Some parents may have giv en only scant attention to the announcement, but it was news of vital importance, or should have been, to parents con cerned over the welfare of their children. Last week in Chatham county a 18-year-old schoolboy was killed when a school hue overturned. Information has it that the brakes were not in proper condition. Near Salis bury recently several school children were burned when their bus caught on fire and they could not get out the rear which had been, it was reported nailed up. Regular inspection of brakes and other portions of all school buses should be made and are being made. It is risky, too risky, to do otherwise. In the meantime, as General Mecklenburg points out in The Charlotte Observer, more drastic measure should be taken to enforce the law requiring other vehicles to stop when passing a school bus taking on or discharging children. This law is frequently violated in Cleveland county as else where. In Iredell county last w«*k a little girl was critical ly hurt when hit by a truck that did non stop. Failure to observe that law has already brought one death in Cleveland sounty. It should be enforced, and would be no trouble to enforce if all motorists would cooperate as they should. 00 THE RIGHT WAY NQW IT IS POINTED OUT that few farmers lrf the better known lespedeza counties, Albemarle, Stanly and Rowan, are making applications for government loans with which to put opt this year’s crop. Anyway, as many loans are not being sought there, it is said, as in counties such as Cleveland which have been shooting a big portion of the loan on one or two cash crops. The moral is plain. In the last year or so Cleveland farmers have been taking to lespedeia and other hay and grain crops as they haven’t in years. It is to be, hoped, too, that a big percentage of the loans being secured by county farmere this year will go toward the reproduction of more grain and hay. Rumors have it that the loans will enable many to pur* chase fertiliser who eould not do so last year and as a result there will be another large cotton crop, maybe larger than ever before, The thinking citizen will hope that the rumor does not pan out. If ahould not. It is remembered, in that connection, that farmers securing loans pledged themselves to put only a third of their customary acreage in cotton. Chances are that the government will check up to see that this pledge is adhered to, and, therefore, there are two im portant reasons why the' farmers should not shoot the w’orks on cotton i First, it will not pay him to do so and by so do ing he way pull his own house down about his head; and, in the second place, the government may make it hot for him for violating the pledge attached to his loan application .
