Bulwinkle And Stevenson Prove Unusual Officials Polk County News, With *he recent news dispatches still fresh in the m'nds of most newspaper readers concerning the “family payroll’’ practice of many senators and congressmen and the failure of both branches of our law • makers to show any ifal indications of being able to grasp the serious ness of the problems facing this country, it is indeed surprising to read that a member of congress has requested that the amount of an appropriation for a federal project In his district he cut by mode than one hundred thousand dollars. This actually happened a few days ago and the incident was deservedly given prominent rri:ntion in news papers throughout the length and breadth of the United States. • ! Congressman Stevenson of Sou'h Carolina, asked the authorities to reduce the amoupt appropriated each year for the maintenance of the Kings Mountain battleground from $250 000 to $150,(>00. saying that this amotfnt was ample for the pur pose. Congressman Eulwlnkle of North Carolina also favored the reduction and joined the South Carolina congressman in request ing the appropriation cut. One might well class tnese two gen tlemen as "freaks ’ as present-day congressmen go. On* also wonders how many millions of dollars of taxpayers money could be saved each year If other congressmen and public officials would conscientious ly look about for ways of cutting down expenditures Instead of uslnr every means within their power to glut the public coffers of the last thin dime.

May 2.—By a one vote margin the supreme court to day threw out as Invalid the Texas law under which ’tie Democratic state executive committee bantd negroes from Demon atic primaries.

"The pity of the matter ts simply this,’’ Justice Cardoso stated In de livering the opinion “that when those agencels are invested with an authority independent cf the will of the association in whose name Uv ■ undertake to speak, tney become to that extent the organ.-, of the staie Itself, the repositories of official power. They are then Use govern mental instruments whereby parti s are organized and regulated." Previously—March 1927, the court set aside a Texas law which barred negroes from voting in state Dem ocratic primaries. That case and the case today was brought to the sup'reme court by L. A.

TODAY - TUESDAY (Political Advertisement.) POWELL ATTACKS RECORD OF HENRY B. EDWARDS Since Mr. Edwards has seen fit to publish an advertisement in The Cleveland Star stating that he was the man who brought economy in government and that as a member of the last legislature, he attempted to represent the interest of all the people in this county, I have gone to the trouble to look UP some of his records as published in the House Journal for 1931, which record in part is as follows: House Journal. 1931 Session: On page 154 Edwards is re corded as having voted for house bill 262, which was an act providing for the call of a convention to write a new state constitution without submitting the new- constitution to the people of the state for ratification. This act passed the House, but was killed in the Senate. Even the Yankees per mitted our Fathers to vote on the Carpet Bag Constitution of 1868. Yet Mr. Edwards, who was representing our in terest, would have denied us that right. Page 86 of House Journal for 1931. Mr. Edwards is re corded as voting AGAINST the McLean School Law, under which law, the state has taken over six months school term, the passage of which act brought a tax reduction of ap proximately thirty cents on one hundred dollar valuation. On page 929 of House Journal for 1931 Mr. Edwards is re corded as being against Senate Bill 657, which bill had al ready passed the senate and provided for a revaluation of real estate. He was a member of the committee that pass ed on this bill, and he recommended to the House that it be killed. Page 645 House Journal for 1931. Mr. Edwards is record ed as voting for House Bill 1186, which bill, if passed, would have deprived the people of the right to elect their state of ficers and provided for their appointment by the Governor, this would nave been known as the Short Ballot. On page 900 of the Journal Mr. Edwards is recorded as voting for House Bill 102 on its second reading and is re corded on page 904 as having voted for said bill on its third reading, which bill contains a provision for a SALES TAX of one-tenth of one per cent on the gross receipts of all the merchants of North Carolina. As the primary is drawing near. I fee! like the voters of Cleveland County are entitled to know the record of our last Representative, as I find it registered in the House Journal for the session of 1931. “ t * OSCAR W.
