Senator Bailey Gives Reasons For Opposing Cotton Control Bill I* DM Net Hare Hlfht L'ndti > Oath at Office to Support Writing to a conatltutent lr North Carolina, exlalning why lit cipoaed the Bankhead cotton con -ol Mil, Senator J. W Bailey says: When our Pederal government at created by the people framing he constitution, they were very areful to limit the powers of con ■freta. They gave certain Imbued owers The powers of congrw vere thereby etrlklngly limited. They then reserved certain powers to the states and further reserved to the people themselves certain Sti described as lnalleneh’e te. Amongst these lnallenaole * rlghta stand first the rights of free > men—known as the liberties There la some possibility that the court might hold that a state had the right to determine the amount of CfOps any fames should produce ,_I do not think anyone will hold that the congress has the power to do thU. Deflators are required to tak en oath to support the Constitu tion mainly because the people at the out-set were determined that , those Who were trusted with powers eveti in what may be considered good causes My main reason lor voting against the Bankhead bill was that l aid not consictcr i nan me ri»ni under my oath 6t office to vote for it. It is a great pity for men to int pung one another's motives. On the eoonomic phase# of the > better, I reoognize that the pro duction of excess crops of cotter had fot those who product them. The present prospect is foi . forty minion bales in the present Itar. tjiat is talcing the carry-over in the world plus the world produc tion. Forty million bales will lx available as of December 1, 1931 The world consumption is not likely to be over twenty-six million bales Crop reduction Is therefore indlcat ed, but tills does not by any mean? justify me in violating my oath of office to bring about crop reduction by the ixerdse of powers which do not belong to me. I am sworn not to exceed my powers and I think it is right that 1 should be so sworn and certainly right that I should keep my oath. As we reduce our out-put of cot ton in the South, other nations will he induced to extend their acreage "od increase their out-put. Japan 'i now having cotton planted in '.outh America In order that she -nav escape having to buy it from 'he south- Russia is increasing hci acreage. India and Egypt are in creasing their acreage. The effo-1 of congress of the United States to control the production of cotton is confined at any rate to only 50 pet cent of the cotton, since we pro duce only half the world’s crop. Wc may reduce tills 30 per cent, but m we reduce, the other nations will increase theirs. I do not think tha' the Bankhead bill will bring about real reduction in the toted ampunt of cotton produced this rear. Say we cut our production iron fourteen million, bales to ter million.

Evenings By Appointment I the other nations to Increase ,their production by fully four million bales. Russia's cotton acreage has, for example, increased from two and one-half million acres to five million in five years. Great Britain is increasing cotton acreage in both India and Africa. There are certain other consider ations as follows: The Bankhead BID bases the re duction upon a five year average production. This discriminates against North Carolina and in fa vor of Alabama and other States North Carolina has been reducing her crop of cotton for five years while other States have been in creasing their crops. My amend ment to put the reduction on a ten year basis was in the interest of North Carolina. I think if we should cut the production of the small farmer below six bales, we would drive a great many of them out of the farming business and where they would go and what they would do would be a serious problem. It would be much better to have many small farmers pro ducing a reasonably small crop of cottton than to have some farmers producing a thousand bales and some five hundred when the small fanners are cut to two and three bales. This relates to employment of people and sustaining of the small farms and the protection oi what has been called the liberty ol man. These economic considerations are important, but my main reason for opposing the Bankhead Bill wa? that I do not think the Congress has the power to control the pro duction of any crop by force of law. If it can control cotton, It can con trol wheat, corn, hogs, butter and eggs, and I suspect If it ever shall begin controlling one It will under take to control others. What sort of country would we have If every farmer had to look to Washington •every year to ascertain how much jhe should plant and how much li* should reap or how much he should sell? In my view this would amount to nothing more nor less than what they have in Russia. If the farmer could not control his land, It would not be worth his while to own it His Income would be controlled by his government ra ther than by his labors .His righto would be absolutely denied. His liberty would be cut off. You speak as if the Bankhead Bill had been defeated. I think it is likely to pass and the farmers Will have abundant opportunity tc try it. It Is my prediction that they will demand its repeal the first time It is forced upon them. Eng land tried the control of her ’lib ber production and ruined her rub ber business. Brasil tried to con trol the production of coffee and ruined the coffee growers. Cuba tried the control of the production of sugar and her sugar farmers are now starving. Here are three les sons of experience in the last sev eral years and they teach the same lisson that has been taught for three hundred year?, to-wit: Thai when Governments try to control the activities of their people, they Injure the people and do,not help them. I know of rio Instance In all history in which a government has succeeded In any plan of crop con trol. If you know of one r would be glad If you would tell me. I have made a careful investigation. In the days of Queen Elizabeth the tillage laws limited the amount ol land a farmer might till, but these laws have been abandoned for fully three hundred years and no one thinks of going back to them. Our country is dedicated to the view that if you give men liberty, they will work out their problems and do much better for themselves than they will do under the con trol of regulatory laws. I must say to you that there Is no authority whatever for any view that the Constitution may be dis regarded in any emergency It can not be disregarded even In war This has been held by the Supreme >u V«IWt iuvii n «iv ask us to disregard the Constitu tion because of emergency are ask ing us to violate our oaths. I am sure it Is not yet necessary that I shall argue the sanctity of an oath or the moral necessity to regard it. Let me say also that Bankhead Bill is not a part of the Preside' program. He sent nc message to Congress in its behalf. He did writ one letter to a member of congress endorsing it rather reservedly ‘ in principle.” The Secretary of Agri culture, Mr. Wallace, has plainly stated that lie is for voluntary measures and is not inclined to agriculture regimentation. I greatly appreciate the Jclndlv expression of your letter and I con fidently await the trial of the Bank head Bill by our farmers In full assurance that once they have tried It .they will never try it again. I may be wrong, but I am willing to file this letter with you and ask you to write me in eighteen months from now Just what you think of the experience.

Wealthy Negro Sticxs To Job Henry Harris, negro employee of the American Tobacco company In Reidsville, has taken Inventory of his present worldly goods and found himself extremely well-to - do. Henry’s good fortune has, according to his own story, come to him through the simple process of his outliving certain relatives who had acquired "fancy money.” In January, 1932, Locking Harris, a relative, died lp Ason, Ga„ at the age of 34 and willed Henry $27,000 “in cash.” Mandy Harris, an aunt, passed from this vale of tears In August, 1933, and increased Henry's cash assets by $1200. It sounds like a pleasant dream after a big water melon supper. Henry derives from his legacies an Income of some $600 a month. (These be Henry's figures). Al though Henry Is now established, so to speak, on Easy Btreet, his busi ness address Is still “the fact'ry.” “That, money don't keep me from workln’,” said Henry. "I’ll work while I can end lay back on that when I cant.” NOTICE OF SALE OF SEAL ESTATE North Carolina. County ot Cleveland.

By M. R. DUNNAGAN RALEIGH. May 1 — A Conco’tl hosiery mill worker, bitten by a liz ard that she slapped after it had run up her leg, was able to "put one over” on the doctors, lawyers and others interested in the workmen’s compensation end of the case for a time, but was unable to put it over on Duke hospital doctors for long. The woman’s leg showed the im print of the lizard’s teeth, doctors said, and when this was bandaged, blisters would appear around the bandage, and she claimed her leg had become still. Insurance men charged that she burned the blis ters with cigarettes or acids, and was pretending the leg was stiff. Commissioner J. Dewey Dorsett, hearing the case, was not satisfied, so he ordered her to Duke. Prove Woman Fakir Duke doctors made blood tests. observed the woman and thorough ly Inspected the case. They report ed that there was no evidence of poison or other substance In the blood that would cause the blisters, concluding they resulted from some acid applied externally. They also put the woman to sleep, and while sleeping she readily moved the leg she dragged across the hearing room claiming It had become stiff. Com missioner Dorsett had awarded compensation for the few days she was disabled at first, denying ad ditional pay for more time lost and the claimed stiffness of the leg.' wholesaler’s place at the same time. One bought 90 gallons of whiskey and the other bought 30 gallons. The car with 30 gallons left first, and before it got to Sunbury, a car drove up behind it and began shoot ing at the tires. Thinking that It was “the law,’’ the driver pulled up on the side of the road,-Jumped out of his car and ran across a field. Instead of the car containing offi cers, It was the other bootlegger with the 90 gallons, who took the other man’s 30 gallons and started on to Norfolk. The bootlegger who had been hi jacked telephoned his boss In Nor folk. The boss sent a tipoff to the cops, who arrested the hijacker and took possession of Ids whiskey.

Various experiments are being tried in an effort to get independent action for an automobile’s front wheels. All of which is simply another tribute to the soundness of Ford engineering and the Ford V-8 for 1934. When you drive this car you get free action not only for the front wheels— but for all 4 wheels. Ford springs provide individual transverse cantilever suspension for both front and rear axles. In the new Ford these springs have been made more flexible. This type of construction is not experimental and has the advantage of unequalled comfort plus the proved safety of a front axle. This new Ford combines V-8 power with gasoline economy—20 miles to the gallon at a speed of 45 miles per hour, in exhaustive road runs. It will do 80 miles an hour without diffi culty. At 50 or 60 miles per hour it is actually running at ease! This reserve power means acceleration un equalled by practically any other make of American automobile, regardless of cost.
