MONEY CONTROL
Proves Bad Thing For
Farmers

Washington.-Ho control of money
affects the lives of the people is shown
by A. d. Zander in a letter to Gov
ernor Hart of Washington and which
has been inserted in the Congressional
Record by Senator Jones, of Washing
ton Mr.. Zander is chairman of the
executive committee national non
partisan league of Washington. He
writes to Governor Hart:
"The war finance board opened an
office in Spokane, October 10. Up to
the present time December 14) they
have made but one loan, because the
banks refused to cooperate with
them; thousands of our farmers who
have good security can not get money
to carry on their farming operations,
and great many farms will be fore
closed
One Of our largest and best wheat
and stock farms in the state was fore
closed last week; as there were no
buyers 1t was bid in by the mortgage
company at 81 per acre. Live stock
and machinery would practically bring
nothing, if put up at foreclosure sale
at the present time.
Millions of people in the United
States are suffering for want of food
and food products are far below the
cost of production. Farmers say if
money can be Debated to make inter-
est rates high, farm crops can also be
debated to make higher prices. This
is the only hope they see This will
cause a great deal more unemploy-
ment and great deal more misery
and suffering"
Mr. Zander recommends that the
national government loan its war fl
nance money through county treas
urers and county commissioners, rath-
er than banks.

STARVATION
In West Virginia Is Increas.
ing

Charleston, W. Starvation is
increasing in the coal section of this
state, despite Governor Morgan's
attempt to minimize the situation.
The West Virginia Federationist is
appealing to the public to remedy con-
ditions and declares that unless the
state or the government take some
steps at once so relieve the situation
hundreds of frail little bodies will
succumb to the pangs of hunger and
the grim specter of death will invade
the desolate homes Of the wealth pro-
ducers which have made West Vir-
ginia one of the wealthiest coal pro-
ducing states in the nation.
AT no time in the history of this
country have we known more wide
spread condition of unemployment and
greater suffering among the workers

COMPULSORY
ARBITRATION
Strangles Eight-Hour Work
Day and Gives S50,000,-
600 to Railroads

Railway clerks, freight handlers, ex-
press and station employees know what
compulsory arbitration means to them.
Under the decision of the United
States railroad labor board, recently
handed down, the standard eight-hour
workday is not protected. Overtime
pay does not become effective until
after nine hours work. Through the
decision the railroad owners are
handed a gift of $5O,000,000.
In money, this gift makes a total
of $750,000,000 which the railroads
have been authorized to take from
the wages of the railroad workers
since the passage of the Cummins-
Esch law in 1920 The first reduc-
ton IN wages put into effect by the
labor board amounted to $400 00O,-
900, the repeal Of the national agree
ment, besides increasing the hazards
OF railroad travel, put another $780,
100000 into the railroads treasures,
and now comes the $50,000,00O result
ing from the decision making the
overtime rate begin after working 9
hours, instead of hours, the pre-
viously established rule Offsetting
these gifts to the railroads is a rate
reduction approximating $55 100000
I'm the public interest" Thus the
railroads, through the operation of
the labor sections Of the Cummins-
Esch law and the arbitrary power of
the railroad labor board which that
law created, have gained 1896, 900 900
merely for the asking. What they
have gained through the 51a per cent
guarantee on valuation of railroad
property which that law gives them
is beyond estimate, but it is a safe
conjecture that the railroads have
taken from the peop e of the country
more than billion dollars in the last
two years.
On the part of the railroad work
ers they have the privilege of submit
ting their cases to the railroad labor
board.

ATTORNEY FINDS
ROADS IN COUNTY
ARE DISGRACE
Mason Takes Issue With Nc
Culley's Report on Con-
dition as Published
Last Week.

That the roads of Carter county are
not all that is claimed for them and
that their present condition are
not what is Dragged about, is the sub.
ject of a letter received from l. r. Ma.
son, Ardmore attorney, under date OF
June %.
The letter is published in full, with.
out criticism or comment. 1t is as
follows:
The undersigned read in your paper
OF this date what purported to be
statement from Engineer McCully as TO
the condition of the roads of Carter
county and holding them up TO be in
he very best shape and condition.
Surely the engineer must have given
hat interview sitting at his desk in the
ourt house.
THE writer of this article just Tues
lay afternoon had occasion TO drive
over the roads between Ringing and
trdmore and had also passed over the
same roads Saturday before except that
u NOiiilS lie UttOuTtu SOuln from
Byrne's store west of Lone Grove ana
going over he detoured over the north
road from Lone Grove.
Road Is Disgrace"
Il want to say that the road from
the end of the gravel near the point
where the road turns north into Head
ton, to the county line is simply a dis.
grace and to the writer's own known,
edge has been in that deplorable condi-
ton for at least three months past.
The roads used as detour roads both
north ana south from Lone Grove are
abominable and look as If no work
had been done on them in many moons
and this in spite of the fact that the
state road west from Lone Grove has
been closed for about four miles or
more for many months.
Surely If we are compelled TO wait
upon the state road, then the users of
the detour roads are entitled to have
such detour lines worked and kept in
good, if not excellent conditions during
the time such state road is to be kept
blocked, ard more especially when such
detour roads as used are themselves
upon section lines almost their entire
length.
