They sought to break down the op-
position which naturally existed
among state officials to encroachment
upon their own pr )per fields of ac-
tivity. They found the most effective
weapon at their hands was the offer
of federal aid
Federal aid' generally speaking,
is a bribe offered to state govern
ments to surrender their own proper
functions There is scarce a domain
in the field of government properly
belonging to the municipality or the
state which the federal government
is not seeking to invade by the use
of the speciOus phrase, federal aid >
Education, public health, private en-
ployment are a few instances which
come readily to mind.
~
THE bureaucrats who initiate these
movements for an extension of their
own power draw great strength from
the class specially affected. This rapid
extension of federal administration
not only means greatly increased ex-
penses but it means the gradual break
ing down of local self-government in
America"

demned the multiplicity of taxing bod

offices.

1t would be hard to find three
stronger candidates than Patrick j.
Carr for county treasurer, Robert
M. Sweitzer for county clerk and
James M. Daley for sheriff.
Each of these men has stood the
test of public service in positions of
public trust, where the people had
chance to watch their every move
ment.

They have proven themselves
worthy of the esteem in which they
are held and their election is almost
a foregone conclusion,
But foregone conclusions do not
elect people and it behooves every
citizen who wants good men in the

BRUNDAGE ORDERS
VOTE ON BEER
AND LIGHT Wines

The light wine and beer proposition
must be submitted to the voters of
the state at the November election
Attorney General Brundage has ad-
vised Secretary of State Emmerson.
In written opinion the attorney
general held that the secretary had
little if any discretion" in the mat
ter of disposing of the recent peti-
tion of 100000 voters for submission
of the proposition
Following receipt of the petition
from Chicago several weeks ago Sec
| retary Emmerson asked the attorney
general to advise him whether it was
his duty to certify the question to
the various county clerks of the
state to be placed on the ballot Both
the petitioners and their opponents
filed briefs with the attorney gen
eral
Answering the contention that
modification of the federal laws per-
mitting sale Of liquor containing
per cent alcohol would be in violation
of the eighteenth amendment and
therefore void, Mr.. Brundage cited
the ruling of the Supreme Court
that the question of defining ''in-
toxicating liquors is for Congress,
adding that 1.-The question would still
be one Of public policy and Congress
might be influenced by the submis-
sion of the question
While it is doubtful whether the
Supreme Court would uphold Con
gress in permitting sale of liquor
containing up to per cent alcohol,
Mr.. Brundage said, yet he asserted
he did mot think it can be definitely
predicted that such a definition would
be held to be in violation of the
eighteenth amendent
The question will be placed on the
ballot in the following form:
Shall the existing state and fed
eral prohibitory laws be modified so
as to permit the manufacture, sale
and transportation of beer Containing
less than per cent by volume of al
cohoD and light wines for home con-

Where the kick comes from - the
kick that is so pronounced in what
passes for whiskey. may have been
shown in a letter received by PrOhibi'
ton Director Kohloss from one of his
officers.
The name of the officer and the To-
cation of the plant is not given; but
two paragraphs of the officers letter
are given to the newspapers. They fol-
low:
The still was located near the tor
of a high mountain. and it was impos,
sible for us to get into it undetected
rs watchers were stationed. The still
was in full blast on our approach, but
no operators were in sight.
There was a batch of manure from
9 hog pen by the side of the distillery
and the operators were using this ii
the beer. The odor given off from the
condenser. was nauseating. smelling
worse than q pig pen in hot weather
I understand the blockaders use this
for the purpose of adding the kick anc
causing the whiskey to bead high"

CONTEST ALSO
Just To Add a Little Hilarity To
Dress-Up Week in Eliz-

Northeastern North Carolina will
have an opportunity for much merri-
ment if plans for Ford Contest ma
ture along with Elizabeth City's Dress
Up Week celebration, April 4 to April
s. It has already been decided to have
a Dress-Up Week to be observed by
every progressive merchant in town
making special exhibit of the very
latest and newest things, whether it be
clothes to dress up the man, woman
and child; furniture to dress up the
home. or paints, varnishes, seeds
Shrubbery, etc. to dress up ones prem
ises. And now comes talk of Ford
Contest.
Somewhere up in Wisconsin the Fort
Contest idea is said to have originated
The merchants offer substantial prizes
for certain Fords that come to towr
on certain day. There is a prize fol
the newest Ford and a prize for the
oldest Ford; a prize for the most
dressed up Ford and a prize for the
most dilapidated Ford. There is a prize
for the Ford that brings the biggest
crowd to town and prize for the Fort
that travels the longest distance to gel
TO town. There is a BOBBY prize too
for the Ford that brings the most mud
in on its wheels, tenders and running
boards.
The prizes are made substantial
enough to attract contestants for miles
around and the police department CO.
operates TO clear several blocks on the
main street where the Fords contest
ing may be parked. It's great sport
and everybody has a jolly good time
looking over the motley collection OF
Fords that come to town to get the
prizes.
But whether the Ford contest is
staged or not, the week of April 4 tc
April s will be gala week in Eliza
beth City. The merchants are bestir'
ring themselves to have their stores
dressed up and make the dress-up idea
contagious.

Ideal Hosiery Co., employing normally
80 persons, closed their mills in Eliza

surplus stocks. Further reductions in
wages of hosiery makers are expected
when the mills resume operation.
Elizabeth City Hosiery Mills are re-

of the industry are better than they
have been at any time in the past two
years. The Standard Mfg. Co. with 5O
operatives in normal times is operating
only part time and the Elizabeth City
Hosiery Mills with 225 operatives nor
mally is working only three days
week and working only part of its plant
on those days. Every mill in Elizabeth
City is loaded up with surplus stocks
thousands of dozens of hose for which
there seem to be no markets.
