ORGANIZE COOPERATIVE
POTATO STORAGE HOUSE

Many farmers are visiting the
cooperative sweet potato storage
house which has been constructed
at Rocky Mount and are learning
how the cooperative association
is going to be handled.
The sweet potato is going to
be one Of the staple crops grown
in North Carolina and the farmers
in this section should get togeth-
er and arrange to get into this
industry in it's practical begin
ming. The way cotton is advan-
cling shows what a short crop
will do to the price and this short
age should be maintained from
year to year to avoid building
up a surplus and Cutting the
market. If the acreage in cotton
is held down that acreage must
be planted in some food crop, and
none will prove more adaptable
to this section than sweet pota-
toes. We urge our farmers to
get behind this movement and
arrange for the building Of a stor-
age house here to handle next
years crop and then arrange to
plant the necessary acreage to
justify the building Of the stor-
age house and formation of d
marketing association. This will
not only provide another money
crop, but will cause money tc
come in during seasons when here
tofore it has all been outgo.
From Investigations we are abso
lutely convinced this proposition
will fill a great need and we
urge that it be pressed.

PEOPLE SHOULD DEMAND
EFFICIENCY

The State Superintendent of
Public Instruction in a recent
speech in Raleigh made grave
charges against certain county Of
ficials charging that they did
not actually know what was 60
ing on in the handling Of county
affairs, that they did not know
how the money was expended,
nor whether the taxes levied were
actually collected or not. He
stated that this conclusion had
been arrived at through actual
investigation Of twelve represen-
tative counties Of the State. We
do not know whether or not Hal
flax County was one Of the twelve
but w e do know that too
little attention is given to the
management Of county affairs
and that there is not strict
accounting made to the public
as to how money is actually ex-
pended, or whether taxes are ac-
tually collected from year to
year as levied. # taxes as lev.
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1921-09-02

4 led are not collected as a whole,
then additional taxes must be
levied on those who do pay to
! make up for the losses from these
who do not.
The public should demand a
stricter accounting from it's Of
ficials than they have been accus-
toned to and they never will
have an economical government
in county, state Or nation unless
this is required. Turn on the
light and let us know where
the money comes from and. how
it is spent, and then we can
Judge at to whether more or less
taxes are needed. We have no
doubt but what if this search
light is applied there will be many
sources Of wastage which could
be stopped and resulting reduc
ton in taxation made. The de-
mand is for economy in every
thing, in personal expenditures,
business management and public
affairs. That is the only way
we can ever hope to be relieved
of the r1linOuS burdens of taxa
ton. There is a limit to every
thing and that limit has about
been reached in county, state
and nation. The pendulum must
swing the other way or else the
results will be disastrous.

London, May 81. (By The Associated

American correspondents today that
he expected to attend the forthcom
ing meeting of the Supreme council
in Boulogne but he would not indi
cate whether he would take part in
the deliberations or sit merely as ar
observer.
He took occasion to dispel the idea
that had been expressed in some of
the London newspapers that because
of his close personal relations with
Pres. Harding he might depart from
strict diplomatic usage and voice his
personal opinions with relation to in =
ternational questions.
He declined to express an opinion
as to what the American attitude
would be in the matter of assisting
an the execution of the League of Ma
tions plan for the economic rehabili-
tation of Austria, and other issues
involving the League.
He said nothing had been brought
to his attention with reference to an

Mail Privileges
Restored to Two
Socialist PAPERS

Washington, May 31-Postal prohi-
billions against the Milwaukee Leader
and the New York Call two Social
list newspapers, were withdrawn to-
Gay by Postmaster General Hays who
restored them to second class mailing
privileges. The action was in line
with that recently taken in the case
of the Liberator a periodical pub
lished in New York City.
Orders cancelling the second class
mailing privileges of the publications
were issued by Postmaster General
Burleson late in 1917. after an inqui-
ry which Mr.. Burleson said had
shown that through articles publish
ed each of them had violated provi-
sions of the espionage act. The Libe-
rator--a successor to the Masses
ceased publication soon afterward, the
publishers announcing theyswere I'M
able to bear the additional burden
imposed by the third class rates
Both the Leader and the Call car
ried their fight to the courts. The
Milwaukee paper, upon refusal of the
Supreme court of the District of Co
lumbia to issue writ of mandamus
to compel the postmaster general to
restore the cancelled privileges, ap-
pealed to the Supreme court of the
United States where the lower court
was upheld. hTe Call won in the low
er courts of the District of Columbia,
whereupon the post office department.
appealed and the case was adjudged
to have been decided by that involv-
ing the Leader.
No formal order was issued by Mr..
Hays today. the departments action
being carried out by an informal no.
tifcation to the newspapers interest
ed and instructions to the postmas-
tiers in the respective cities of publ
cation. Postmaster General Hays is
understood to have proceeded on the
theory that the previous administra-
ton of the department had erred in
withdrawing low rates and yet per-
hitting the papers to be distributed
If barred at all, they should have
been barred entirely, he is said to
have decided.
Whether the post Office department
will voluntarily refund the excess
charges occasioned by the Burleson
order was not stated today. In the
case of the Liberator. Mr.. Hays said
a refund would be ordered, the
amount due that publication being es-
timated at more than 81 900.

Lower Wages and
Better WOrkmen, Says
Plumbing AssO. Head

Boston, May 31.-Lower wages,
more efficient labor and some method
Of obtaining a larger number of
promising apprentices are three
things necessary to assure the future
of the heating and piping business.
President ]. E. Rutzler of New York
declared today in an address at the
opening session of the annual conven-
ton here of the Heating and Piping
Contractors National Association.
''When We consider" said Mr.. Ruiz
| ler, that not only have wages in
creased fully so per cent. over what
cheney of labor has decreased in prac-
tically the same ratio, then we begin
/ to understand some of the reasons
why the public generally complains of
building costs and demands heavy
wage cuts.
THE time has come when each of
us in his own locality should exert
such influence as we may possess to
help our employees to recognize the
need Of a reduced wage to stimulate
business and in turn to benefit the
steamfitter himself.
I'VE should not have to drive labor
to an acceptance of this principle. for
under such pressure neither employer
nor employee is the gamer. We should
rather reason with labor and educate
them to realization that in the last
analysis, labor as a whole can be paid
only what labor as a whole earns and
when they shall have resolved upon
greater efficiency and increased pro-
1uction in days work, then they
will learn that the best chance for all
of us to improve our earnings is
through a move designated to reduce
costs and stimulate business"
