Cause Of Truancy
In dealing with children there is al
wavs danger of confusing the cause
of their behavior with the result.
The result shows and is probably
immediately annoying. The cause is
0,ten so deeply hidden that even
the child is unconscious of it.
Truancy is a case in point. There
is far more real truancy than the
truant officer ever reaches. The chil
ciien who frankly refuse to go to
school, or who. having set out with
books and lunch-box, go swimming
oi fishing or attend the movies, are
only a small fraction of those who
one way or another avoid school.
Many of the minor ailments of
childhood—headaches, digestive up
sets, nervous derangements, cause
less temperatures—may at times be
a subconscious, often successful,
protest against the dally grind.
But behind this apparently rea
sonable dislike for work is generally
l father deeper reason for the child’s
| malingering. Most children go to
" school as a matter of course whether
they like it or not and to some ex
tent at least most of them like it
They may not enjoy the lessons, but
they do enjoy the companionship of
the other children and are satisfied
to conform with the rule of school
attendance.
When a child really fights school,
whether openly or by constant min
or complaints, it is wise to make a
thorough search for the real reason
behind the symptoms.
The child may be under a strain
owing to some emotional disturb
ance in the home; he may be con
scious of some physical defect which
puts him at a disadvantage in
school; the fault may lie in the
school itself—the attitude of the
teacher or the way he is taught or
disciplined—or he may be bored
and seeking adventure. The only
way to curs him and stop this tru
ancy is to find out the underlying
cause and deal with it.

The Court Drives Home a Point!
CCharles Evans Hughes, left, waa emphatic as he talked
with Representative William B. Bankhead (Dem., Ala.), right, at
the recent vice president's dinner to President Roosevelt. Bankhead
rntnh/r»«U.t^r ?* th,* c°tton con,ro1 law which the president has asked
g ess to repeal. Cotton and the AAA, however, were not popular
topics at the reception.
Pride Of Ownership Is Judged
Important In AAA Substitute
WASHINGTON.—The senate ag-j
rlcultural committee’s intensive in
quiry into a stopgap farm plan
to meet the constitutional fall of
AAA was not wholly devoted to such
deep stuff as farm economics and
questions of constitutionality that
may arise later.
All that and more entered in, of
course, but at least one committee
vote and a lot of maneuvering re
volved around the question of whose
name the bill was to bear.
In non-election years, when bills
are introduced in either senate or
house, it doesn’t make much differ
ence who gets the credit of author
ship. This, however, happens to be
an election year—and an extremely
important one.
Pride of authorship in so far as
farm legislation is concerned is a
very real thing to a senator or rep
resentative just now. If he is up for
reelection, it is a decided political
asset.
Frank Politiral Gesture
Senate bill No. 3780 embodying
the administration's ideas on the
farm situation was reported out of
the senate agricultural committee
with the name of Bankhead of Ala
bama as author.
Here’s what happened:
Bankhead is up for re-election this
year. Ordinarily a measure of this
sort would bear the name of the
chairman of the committee—in this
instance Smith of South Carolina.
Senator Smith, however, doesn't
have to run until 1939.
There was a tacit understanding
among Bankhead's friends on the
committee that his name should be
placed on the bill as its author. His
cotton control act has been faring
badly in court tests and the odds
are it, will be thrown out entirely
the supreme court. It was a politi
cal gesture, frankly admitted by al
most everyone concerned.
Everything went well until a sub
committee recommended two minor
changes in the original bill which
necessitated a reprint of the whole
measure. The rub came when it was
discovered that the reprint had left
Bankhead’s name off as author.
Name Put Back On Bill
Bankhead asked why, persuaded
his colleague Pope of Idaho to put
the same query to Chairman Smith.
Smith suggested that AAA officials
thought it better to have no names
attached. AAA officials denied the
allegation with a show of vehem
ence.
Whereupon Pope arose in commit
tee and formally moved that Bank
head’s name be put back on the bill.
It was so ordered.
Who actually was responsible for
the omission of Bankhead's name
is not known and probably will not
be. Stranger things than that have
happened in politics.
Fur Animals Bring
Profit To Farmers
Pur animals are an important and
profitable farm crop, not only in
supplementing the natural supply,
but also in using land of little value
for field crops.
No branch of animal production,
says the Biological Survey, has de
veloped more rapidly during the de
pression nor has resulted in greater
profits than silver-fox farming, and
this at a time when some farm
commodities scarcely had a market.
Investment in fur farming h now
estimated at $50,000,000. Fox farm
ers In 1934-35 harvested 170,000 pelts
having a total value of approximate
ly $7,000,000.
Pur farming, says the Bureau, is
now established In 35 states and is
not in competition with any other
type of farming. The industry is
organized, with 3 national. 15 re
gional, and 16 state associatons
More than 20.000 feet of drain

Mrs. Long Heeled
In Machinations
Of High Politics
Helped Launch Huey On Career;
Can Grace Mansion Or A
Cottage.
By RALPH WHEATLEY
NEW ORLEANS.—(A*)—Mrs. Huey
P. Long goes to the United States
senate as successor to her spectacu
lar husband well grounded In the
machinations of politics.
Prom early married life and until
the last few years of his career, she
feught for his advancement from
behind the scenes. It was she, with
a baby on her lap, who prepared
and folded for mailing the cam
paign circulars that launched her
husband In politics.
He sought and followed her ad-,
vice *s he prepared the groundwork;
that brought him to the political
dictatorship of Louisiana. But in the
last years of Huey Longs life, he
became a little too tempestuous
with his politics for her and she
played small part in his public life'
Helped Huey’s Career
Like her husband, she came from
a farm and she was almost his age.
In 1892 she was born on a farm near
Greensburg, Ind., and in a few
years the family moved to the town
of Greensburg. Her mother was a
native of Louisiana and when she
was 10 the family moved to Shreve
Dort. La., where she met her bus
'oand by winning a prize for the best
cake made from a compound that
Huey Long was selling.
At the age of 20, she married
Long in Memphis, where they lived
a short time until Long decided on
a legal and political career. She
came wi«ir him to New Orleans and
did housework on a shoe-string un
til her husband completed one year
of law school, enough for him to pass
the bar examinations. They then
settled at Winnfield, La., her hus
band’s birthplace. After a few years
they moved to Shreveport and turn
ed to politics.
Acceptance Surprised Friends
Mrs. Long is a brunette of aver
age height and a little plump. She
is pleasant and jolly, carrying little
for society and club life. She said
she was happier with her daughter
and two sons in her home. Until she
was appointed senator, she had no
desire for public office and her ac
ceptance surprised those who knew
her best.
She is the type of woman who can
grace a mansion as well as a cot
tage and probably will fit into the
senate as a quiet and interested
member. She has no special politi
cal plans and hardly could be ex
pected to attempt to follow the up
roarious course of her husband. She
probably will map her own course as,
she goes along.
President Signs
Control Act Doom
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—Presi
dent Roosevelt Monday signed the
bill repealing the Bankhead cotton
act, the Kerr-Smith tobacco act
and the Warren potato control law.
Repeal of the three compulsory
crop control acts was recommended
to congress just a week ago by the
President with the explanation that
they were “auxiliary" measures to
the agricultural adjustment act kill
ed by the supreme court.
He signed a one page, speedily en
acted repeal measure without cere
mony in his office.
All three bills operated, though
with differing machinery, through
the use of taxes levied against pro
duction in excess of AAA allot- 1
Substitute Label
Gives Tax Plans
A Sugar-Coating
However Substitute Taxes May Not
Be A Misnomer Thinks Mr.
riummer.
By HERBERT PLUMMER
WASHINGTON.—(A•)—Tile phrase
“substitute taxes" will be employed
studiously on capltol hill by admin
istration leaders In all references to
proposals for additional taxation at
the present session of congress.
The reason will be to enable sen
ators and representatives up for re
election this year to swallow the tax
pill without becoming too Jittery.
At that, however, the problem of
persuading them to swallow the
sugar-coated concoction promises to
be a difficult one.
In the matter of finding a way to
finance the new farm program, the
term “substitute taxes" is not so
much of a misnomer. The Invalida
tion of AAA by the supreme court
swept away the processUig tax and
congress must devise something to
take its place.
Insofar as raising the money to
pay the soldiers’ bonus is concerned,
however, another question presents
Itself. It will be difficult to tag that
one “substitute.”
Inflation Scene Shifts
Hence all this renewed talk of in
flation.
Administration leaders in con
gress are confident there are not
enough out-and-out currency infla
tionists to pass a bill which would
start the printing presses turning
out greenbacks at will. But they are
not so sure how many members on
a showdown would prefer to take a
flier In '‘controlled" currency Infla
tion to risking the anger of their
constituents at being forced to pay
more taxes.
Their anxiety concerns the house1
principally. There are reasons to be
lieve any sort of Inflation proposal
would encounter rough sledding in
the senate.
A presidential veto, which most
certainly would come were such a
measure to be enucted. in all prob
ability would be sustained. The sen
ate stood by the president in his dis
approval of the Patman bonus meas
ure, carrying the provision for Issu
ance of more than two billion dol
lars in greenbacks, although the
house overrode.
Ea y To Start . . .
Were It not for the fact the ad
ministration has suggested that ad
ditional taxes must be raised tan
expert on government finances Is
reported to have been called in by
the treasury already for the purpose
of devising means), together with
the fear of members of congress to
the passage of a new tax bill on the
eve of a national election, inflation
would not be getting the free ride it
is now.
The arguments advanced by the
inflationists for "controlled” cur
rency expansion may sound plausi
ble, at first sight. Even its most
avowed foes admit it.
“But the trouble is,” as one op
posed puts it, "inflation is easy to
start, but hell to stop.”

Williard Dowell
Now Candidate
In Auditor Race
RALEIGH, Feb, 12.—Willard L.
Dowell, secretary of the North Car
olina Merchant1!* association, Sun
day announced that he will be a
candidate for stale auditor In June,
1936, state primary.
His home town did not think: he
would do It, but he did. He has a
highly Important position with the
merchants. He did the best piece of
Individual lobbying In the 1931 nnd
1933 generaly assemblies that any
legislator ever saw done. He found
his most powerful ally In Governor
Max Gardner In 1931 when Mr.
Dowell’s home paper, the News and
Observer, was finding salvation for
the state In a sales tax. It took tre
mendous energy and cleverness to
circumvent the big business advo
cates of that tax, supported by the
Raleigh paper. But Gardner and
Dowell had the reserves and gol the
bulge.
Mr. Dowell In his statement makes
no point of his sales tax activities. I
That honor la left to one of his
opponents who have nothing what
ever to do with the levy beats every
body likely to run for the auditor
ship to the draw. The Incumbent.
Major Baxter Durham, has not an
nounced his candidacy on a sales
tax opposition. His business to to
audit moneys that are paid In. Mr.
Dowell seems to feel the same way
about It.
The new candidate Is aii^tfitng
but a slouch In politics. He man
aged the county campaign of Bob
Reynolds in 1926. and carried the
long time official home of 8enator
Lee 8. Overman against him. Mr.
Dowell lacked but a few votes of
getting the mayoralty several years
ago. Both as manager for a friend
and campaigner for himself he is
rated able. As executive secretary of
the merchants association he has
gained a constituency that few pri
vate individuals have.
Thinning pines rather than
clearing "newground" Is rapidly
becoming an approved practlee In
the handling of farm . forests
throughout North Carolina.
Smooth, evenly fleshed hoga will
produce a finer quality of meat and
will cut up with less waste than
animals, farm specialists say.
