i:: r"-,c::!::oro:i J WHAT ,s TAKING place x BY' UNITED STATES SENATOR 1 Regardless of the final amount of the relief till no pending In Can gress, and . regardless of the meth- , toi' finally . approved for the distn " bution of relief funds, the current legislative battles oveY this measure are certain to inluence virtually all - legislation during the present ses 1 V sron in the House and Senate are de- 'tv eirable for those following the course of this and other legislation. . At the outset, President recom- , ( mended a total of $1,600,000,000 for .y . various relief activities. This amount . was promptly , challenged. Some members of the Congress favored '" ' doubling that amount and others sought a drastic slash. Therefore, . ' the early stages of the controversy over the relief bill was marked by differences of opinion between those seeking larger relief funds and those advocating strict economy and a ba lanced budget. ' ' As the measure finally emerged from the House Committee, it carr ied the full amount recommended by 'the President, and represented a compromise in the House between advocates of spending and those .seeking drastic slashes in relief funds. It is significant that strong supporters of the President are found enlisted with both groups, However, when the bill reached the floor of the House, considerable sen timent was found for "ear-marking' 'large sums that is, writing into the bill Congressional decree as to how certain monies are to be expended It was promptly contended that this would defeat the purpose of the re lief bill by rendering it impossible for those .administering relief to meet new emergencies as tney may come An intensive battle over this issue is in progress in the House as this rticle . is being written ontroversv can gshrdlutandgshr rth ver8v an oft-repeated quas- at majority of our more relief and the ore taxes, or do they ginning toward econo my 1At teM, only voters and tax payers should "decide that question and the Congress is anxious for the decision. . Of course, it is comparatively easy to find the sentiment, bf particular - sections of the" country ana particu-'- lar states. , But what is needed is - ' facts as to what procedure is best ,J " 't for, our people' as whole. It ia dif- i' ferendeg of opinion on that Score that ? underlies the- ..current . legislative : S -1.1 . f. i. . une-Qt the 'most Jiopeiui; signs is .'- thA fact that our citizen are more . . i aim uiyre realizing uic u unt ut " ' . 'creasing expenditures require iri- an4 economize at the same time. We can not buil4 large public works in ' one section of the country and tell another, section tHat; funds' are !not available for . their public work. And , ' as 'the Congress tries to strike a ' happy medium as summer approach- ,.. s in Washington, and members of - "t Congress dig in for another three " months' of sessions, it Is apparent v that final action on . the relief bill "may offer a key to the whole'legis - r lative situation. .1 ' n u pros want ffx Hobbsville, Sunday afternoon.

Soil-Building Crops Are On The Increase North Carolina farmers who co operated in the soil conservation pro gram last year increased their acre age of soil - conserving crops by 550,000 acres, according to E. Y. Floyd, of State College. After tabulating figures complied from the work sheets covering the cooperating farms, the State AAA office announced that 1,800,000 acres of conserving crops, mainly legumes, were seeded last year as a direct result of the program or in connec tion with it. An even larger acreage is bding seeded this year as farmers take ad vantage of the opportunity to build up their soil, check erosion, and ba lance their farming operations while earning payments from the govern ment, Floyd stated. lie also pointed out that last year so:he 550,000 acres of cotton land were diyerted into conserving crops; 200,000 acres of tobacco land and 40, 000 acres of peanut land were also diverted. By diverting cash crop acreage and carrying out soil-building prac tices, .North-Carolina farmers earn ed $12,403,903 in 1936. Similar rates aain this year, Floyd added. i In 1936, more; than 127,000 work sheets were signed, covering 14,500,- 000 acres of farm land. 05 this acreage, 5,750,000 acres were con sidered crop land. With additional work sheets sign ed this year, it is expected that 150, 000 or more work sheets will be in force for the 1937 program, Floyd pointed out. . The deadline for signing a work sheet is June 12. However, farmers you look on your feet ? Are yon the tame dashing, imposing, self -asser. tive personage for whom the rest of fhe world must, make room ? . Would you dare shove another pedestrian aside;. would you jostle a six-footer? You would not, for you're just a grubby little inferiority complex who's been sublimated by a shot of gasoline. ; And what's the reason for this breakneck rush of yours, anyway? You're in an automobile. Youll ar rive atyour destination 10, 15 or 20 times quicker than the pedestrian you're crowding back onto the curb. The best he can do is five or six miles an hour.- You are going 26 or 30, perhaps 40 miles an hour. Is your business ten times more urgent than his? My, my, what an im portant fellow you are! What vast designs, what momentous projects must occupy your waking hours to justify such impatience. The automobile, it seems, iB the devil's gift to the Little Man. Put him in - control of a motor car and he's cock o' the crosswalks. But if you suddenly yanked that ton or two of iron and steel out from under him, you'd find him just a measly nonen tity with the mental setup of a grammar school bully.
