THE CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CORPS
Numoye Superior

Almost 100000 such boys have had
such chance and vast percentage
of this number have availed themselves
of the opportunities offered them.
These lads have done wonderful work
in fire fighting and fire prevention.
They have built roads and strung tele-
phone lines. They have planted tees
and thinned out thick growths. They
have built and repaired bridges, yes, in
a material way, these boys have done
wonderful work
But above all this is the the regener-
alton of those boys, many of whom were
down and out, without ambition, with
no confidence, self conscious, diffident,
and now after few short months these
boys have found themselves, their self
confidence has been restored, and they
have become assets instead of liabilities
to their family, their community, their
state and their country.
Who then will question the wisdom of
the Government that invested public
funds for the regeneration of such. a
large number of the men of tomorrow.
Dividends will result in improved
forests, roads, wilderness, telephones
and fire prevention, but who can place
a valuation on the dividends in char
acter, manhood, and moral and re-
ligious things, that are even now to be
seen in the enrollees of the Civilian
Conservation Corps.
God bless the man that gave these
boys the opportunity to find themselves
and make of themselves an asset to
their government.

dispensary system. Under this plan
there would be no on sale by the glass
or drink.
Others favor ION sale" by the drink,
but only under most rigid restrictions
no semblance of the old-time saloon.
How can all these divergent views be
brought into sufficient harmony to make
possible the obtaining of a majority
for any one bill? That's the question,
and it is looming up more strongly day
by day, threatening the peace of mind
of lot of legislators as well as of
ordinary folks who are watching pro-
ceedings.
But liquor control is not the only
big problem before the special session.
There are two others, at least, the
tax delinquency problem and the public
relief problem, both of which are going
to require much time and labor to find
even temporary solutions that will tide
over until the regular session of 1885.
In spite of this tremendous job before
them and less than two weeks in which
to do it-some of the legislators, especi-
ally group of liberal senators, are
spending valuable time in fighting the
so-called "cloture" rule, which was
adopted by the conservative majority in
the senate and the liberal majority in
the house.
The liberals have apparently got their
wires crossed-and it makes them look
a bit foolish, which doesn't help mat
ters any.
IT this rule-which requires a two
thirds vote to override report by the
rules committee against consideration of
any bill-should be rescinded, the
chances are that there will be a verit-
able flood of bills introduced This
would spell "goodby" to hopes for end
ing the session by Christmas, unless a
majority of one body or the other be-
comes so disguised as to force adj
journment without enacting any liquor
control legislation.
Gov. Olson himself placed public re-
lief legislation ahead of liquor control
as the big job before the session, and
it's question if tax delinquency isn't
also more important problem.
It's nice mess.

Much has been written and said OF
the splendid results attained since the
inception of the Civilian Conservation
Corps. However, most of what has
been written deals with the material
work accomplished by the enrollees In
the camps, woods and fields. These
boys have done wonderful work, but few
have looked for the influences that have
brought about the results, material,
moral and spiritual, in such a short
space of time.
The officers of the United States
army and the officers of the United
States Forestry department have had
much to do with the results.
Thousands of boys from all walks Of
life, city, village and farm, have been
thrown together, after few weeks of
preparation, and these boys have been
divided into companies of about 200
members and placed under the care,
guidance and leadership of commits
stoned officers who must be commander,
guide and father to two hundred diff
ferent characters, everyone of whom
must be handled with care, kindness,
firmness and understanding
The company commander must see to
the clothing, feeding, housing, educa-
ton and comfort of these lads. With
the medical officer he is obliged to
look after the health of the enrollees
and the sanitation of the camp. He is
obliged to see that good order" dis
cipline and morale is kept up And all
this without any sign of any thing
favored with "militaristic spirit"
Under the care of the army officers goes
the enrollee and except during work
hours, under his care the enrOllee re-
mains for the six months of his en-
rollment. Is it any wonder that the
type of men selected to command are
men of leadership and judgment, men
that the citizens of the United States
may well be proud of.
Under the Forestry department the
enrollee finds leadership that will pay
large dividends Also The men of this
department are teaching those boys how
to work and how to cooperate in work.
The Foresters instill into those boys a
pride in their work, self confidence,
that was lacking when they first en-
tered the wilderness, and a willing-to-
aid attitude that was entirely wanting
when these boys went into the forest,
woods, and wilderness for the first time.

Many Thanks.

I heartily thank my IA true and tried
friends who at the polls approved my
long well-known stand for law and
order in the face of strenuous OPP
position.
Above all I thank Almighty God for
the blessings of health and strength to
make living at honest labor.
I am proud of the fact that I can
truly say that in all my life I never
tried to influence single voter with a
glass of beer or booze, promise of a
job, or other favors. Not even a ride to
the polls.
I have always made it distinctly
understood that if I couldn't get an
office or a job, without resorting to I'M
ethical tactics, didn't want it.
Perhaps it is just as we'll that I
didn't get in. My reputation is bad
enough now. Standing on my old re-
cord two years longer might be bad for
my health.
Yours truly,

There is a growing feeling of doubt
that the special session of the legisla-
ture' will not be able to finish its job
by Christmas if it does adjourn by
Christmas, it will have failed to enact
a liquor control law, thus continuing
Minnesota as legally dry state until
the regular session in 1885.
This may be an unduly pessimistic
view of the situation, but conditions
and circumstances are combining to
force this opinion on many observers.
With as widely extravagant views
as there are on liquor control-almost
as many different views as there are
legislators-it is going to require a
tremendous amount of work. coaxing
and threatening to obtain a majority
for any specific plan.
The ultra-drys, led by such militants
as Sen. Victor Lawson and Rep. Harry
Wahlstrand, both from Willmar, are
fighting against repeal of the state pro-
hibition law and would naturally like
nothing better than to see deadlock
at the special session that will prevent
enactment of a control law. The drys
are for deadlock-it's their one best
lbet, because they havn't votes enough
to stop passage of a liquor control bill
in any other way.
1t is also reported that certain brew
cry interests (not all of them, however,
would likewise just as soon see the
deadlock that would leave the liquor
situation Gin statu quo" in Minnesota
They figure, it is said, that legal sale
of hard liquor will cut in on their beer
business and hence on their profits, SC
these interests would just as soon see
Minnesota continue legally dry, at least
until the next regular session of the
Legislature.
Between the two extremes of drys
and those who want wide-open sale OF
hard liquor, there are seevral different
groups with intermediate ideas of liquor
control. Some, for instance, like the
Farmer-Labor Educational Bureau plan
on having the sale of hard liquor
limited to "off sale," that is, only in
original packages sand such sale in the
hands of the state itself under a state

ABOUT ENOUGH DEFLATION

The Hendersonyille Times-News says that the
defation process has gone about far enough now
and it is time to stop it. In general we agree with
this view. Here and there perhaps things have
not gone down in keeping with the general price
level. Most commodities are too low. The products
of the farm have been hard hit but so have many
others. Here in this section are suffering from
the low prices of fish and other products of the
sea. Not many years ago our water products in
this county were estimated to have a value of
around million dollars a year. They have no such
value now. Far below it in fact. Our farm prod
ucts such sweet potatoes, soy beans and tobacco
selling at prices that give the farmer no profit
of any consequence. There is one thing though
that we all agree needs debating, and that is taxes.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
LET'S CLEAR THE TITLE

A great many of US in North Carolina have
come to regret that did not sooner the su-
periority of paying as we went. 1t would be unfair
and inaccurate to say that we have not realized a
good rate of return from the money we spent so
freely in that heyday of our prosperity but it
appears that the returns, too have been spent for
some time to come and left squarely up
against the realization that our debts due.
If it could be done all over again, chances are
we might take tip from more conservative neigh
bors. Maybe we wouldn't but in any case we can't.
1t is too late. We now find ourselves with higher
per capita debt than any other state in the union
save Arkansas. 1t has begun to 90 down a little,
but the remainder still is sufficient to comprise the
nuttest of problems and to strain resourceful-
ness.
Debt-Service alone costs North Carolina in the
neighborhood of IS million dollars annually. Plain
ly there can be no appreciable relief from high
taxes until we have tanned the monster. Plainly, as
well, there is no hope of tanning it simply by post
poning the ordeal. We may shut it up in cage
but we shall have to feed it STILL else the stencil
of it will leave US no peace of mind at all.
1t is entirely possible that the budget commission
is wise when it suggests the desirabilty of refund
Unfortunately valuable and so difficult to lay hands
on Perhaps it would be better business, but it is
not business we are dealing with it is political
entity, and with all due respect to the excellent
supervision it has had even our own state govern
ment cannot be trusted to postpone debts from one
year to another. 1t is too easy to postpone them
indefinitely.
Let US pay now, hard as the process may be! Let
US pay until we and not the holders of our bonds
own the state in which we live.-Charlotte News
