WASHINGTON, April 3. CUPI
Members of the senate aGricul.
ture committee who thought the
time had come to rebel against
President Roosevelt's farm relief
bill were in full fight last night
They will pause today long
enough to apply the rubber stamp
of their approval to the admin
tration's measure. and historians
will record another victory for
the White House. Then the bill,
which already has passed tn
house, will go to the senate Aoor
for debate and passage.
1t was only one short week ago
that several senator's on the conf
mittee were emitting fiery denun-
Citations of the bill drafted by Mr..
Roosevelt and Secretary Of Agr;-
culture Wallace. Let the house
bend it's servile knee in submiS-
sion to the White House. they
said. but don't expect the senate
to do likewise. No. stree, never:
Chairman Smith of the senate
agriculture committee, as loyal a
Democrat as you will find OIL the
Stonewall Jackson side Of the Ma.
son-Dixon line. chewed tobacco
vigorously and grunted his dis
approval of the Roosevelt bill. He
proposed to fix things up by kill
ing the administration bill and
substituting one of his own.
Copies were rushed out of the
government printing office with
neat lines drawn through the
Roosevelt bill and with the Smith
bill printed in Italic type.
1t looked like the end Of Mr..
Roosevelt's control of congress,
all right. Other senators, emboI-
dened by the example of Smith,
rushed in to strike blow. Some
one decided it would be a good
idea to add fax and peanuts 10
the products which are supposed
to benefit under the measure.
Then, without much fanfare or
ostentation, the senate agriculture
committee was invited down TO
the White House Friday evening
to talk things over with the presi-
dent. Smith smoothed out his
mustache and led his fellow sena-
tors into the presidents office.
There sat Wallace.
An hour later Smith led his
committee back out of the White
House. Nobody had much to say
about what had been discussed in

FINANCE BILL
AGREEMENT IS
ANTICLP ATED
Accord Between Two
Houses Expected by End
Of This Week

RALEIGH, April 3.--Although
no indication has yet been heard
from the members of the senate
and house conference committee
now trying to work out an agree.
mcnt on the appropriations bill
as to when it will be able TO re-
port, the opinion is general that
il will be ready to make its first
report With nthc next few days
and that final agreement between
the two houses on the bill can
be reached by the end OF the
week.
The appropriations bill as pass
ed by the senate calls for an an
nual outlay of approximately
S2G,OOO,O0O a year for general
fund purposes and $16,OOO,OOO a
year for the state highway fund.
0 ra total Of Approximately $42,'
100000 a year for all purposes.
The bill as passed by the house
provided for approximately S23,-
100000 vera for general fund
purposes and $16,000,000 for the
highway fund, or total of APP
proximately $39,000,OOO a year
for all purposes.
The difference between the
bills as passed by the senate and
house was caused by the senate's
refuing to approve the "a per
cont cut in mot Of the salaries
of state employees made by the
house, and making the cut only
30 per cent, as provided for in
the committee bill and by adding
S2,O0O,OOO to the public schools
appropriation TO take care OF an
eight months school term. This
changes account for the -increase
of $3,O00,000 made in the bill by
the senate.
But the figures in the bill as
passed by the senate represents
q decrease of $9,000,000 a year
in the total amounts appropriate
cd for all purposes, when com
pared with the appropriations
bill Of two years ago when a
total Of more than $52,00O,000
was appropriated. of which $29,-
100000 was for general fund
purposes and over $22,0OO,OOO
for the state highway fund. SO
the present appropriations bill
passed by the senate is $4,000
900 less than the 1881 general
assembly actually appropriated,
while the house bill is $4,000
600 under the 1881 figures.
Members Of the house confer
encc committee arc not expected
to object very strenuously to tho
changes made in the amount of
the salary cuts by the senate,
since the house restored the an
preparations for most of the edu-
cational institutions to the com
mittce bill figures before it pass
cd it on to the senate. SO agree
ment on the 80 per cent salary
cuts for all state employees and a
rs per cent cut in salaries for
school teachers instead of a 35
per cent cut as advocated by the
Bowie bloc, is anticipated.
But considerable disagreement
is expected over the appropria'

GARDEN work
SURVEY ENDS
Rehabilitation Program for
County Soon Goes
Into Effect

With The survey made by the
$40 Year Farm organization to
determine the number and names
of those who have been receiving
aid from relief funds now COM
plcted. welfare officers are now
planning to put the rehabilitation
plan into operation.
The survey closed last week
will show the number Of people
receiving aid who have land for
planting and the amount of seeds
and fertilizer which will be re-
quircd for the rehabilitation pro-
gram.
G. W. Justice, welfare officer;
r. G.. Anders, county welfare Of
ficer and G.. d. White of the farm
organization, representatives Of
the Red Cross and other workers
are now putting the plan into OPP
Grafton.
A supervisor has been selected
to allot garden space, inspect tho
ground and keep check on the
progress made on each garden for
which seeds and fertilizer have
been furnished with relief funds.
Ground is being prepared for
the community garden, and plant
ing of this will begin within u
few days.
As the relief groups of the town
met with the committee last week,
it was most encouraging to the
committee to find that by far the
larger number of those applying
for seed and fertilizer had already
made arrangements for land, and
were eager to start actual work.
Every indication is that Hen
dersOn county farmers are making
larger planting of potatoes this
year than ever before. Much in
terest is shown in certified seed,
and many of the farmers arc
using no other kind.
The past three or four days
have found a noticeable number
of rye fields being narrowed and
seeded with lespedeza. The fact
that this planting is being done in
almost every section of the coun-
ty would indicate that the farm
ers generally have walked up tC
the Importance of this legume as
soil builder.

OUTSTANDING WET LEADERS
ARE FEARFUL OVER RESULTS
OF LEGALIzATION OF BEER
One Apprehension Is That Excuses May Accompany
Return Which viii Excite Public Opinion
Against Change --~ .---.-.-.-..--.-

WASHINGTON, April J. (UP).
Beer will go on sale Friday in
many parts of the country with
"drys' hopeful and "wets" fear
full Of the effects this Volstead
act modification will have on the
movement to repeal the 18th
amendment.
Declaring continued warfare
against what he called the "new
deal" beer, Dr.. f. Scott Mcbride,
Anti-Saloon League superlntend-
cnt. expressed the belief in a
statement last night that the eff
feet of beer legaliZatiOn will be
to turn public sentiment against
it and outlaw the beverage.
Privately, dry organization
leaders claim beer will be the
means Of saving the 18th amend
ment.
It is no secret here that some
outstanding wet leaders look
obviously upon the beer expert
ment. They are afraid that it
will initiate against the repeal
drive bv one or both Of two pos
sible effects-either that beer
will satisfy and thus asSuagc the
Clamor for repeal, or that excess
es may accompany its return
which will excite public opinion
against the change.
"If the courts do not invall-
date beer legislation" Mcbride
said, public sentiment which or
iginally outlawed beer will again
pronounce sentence against 1t.
"The effects of beer and the
methods of the beer trade make
it inevitable that beer, even on
its best behavior, contrasted with
prohibition. even where most
flagrantly mistreated. will quick
" convince forgetful voters and
mandate misled politicians that
beer has not changed its nature
and that the people have not
changed their minds. .
The Anti-Saloon League will
not advocate any specific restric-
tions for the sale of beer "be-
cause the beer program is a wet
program and the vets will have
to accept full responsibility for
its operation Of any beer selling
system" the Anti-Saloon League
leader said.
owe shall continue to oppose
repeal Of existing laws prohibit
ing beer, and wherever legisla-
ton may be passed to permit
beer continuance a campaign will
be carried on to secure rc-adop-
ton of anti-beer legislation.
eve shall fight for the noml-
nation and election of candidates
for the legislature in every state
who will support prohibition OF
beer. In the 1884 congressional
campaigns the Anti-Saloon Lea
que will support candidates for
congress who will if elected vote
against legislation permitting beer
in the District of Columbia, and
for the repeal of national beer
laws"
The league will educate
against It's use by individuals as
a habit-forming intoxicant," Nc,
Bride said. The admissions Of
beer bill sponsors and the atti
tude of "both prospective buy
ers and sellers of the new dea
beer is sufficient proof that the
beverage now legalized is the
same beer that congress and the
legislatures intended to prohibits
by the submission and ratifica
Ition of the 18th amendment" he

Washington in the Snow.

Nature painted picture over Wash
1ngton yesterday, and last night the
city was a spectacle worthy of re-
membrance for the momentary beauty
achieved by the snow. Perhaps all
cities are subject to the same principle.
but the Capital particularly is glori-
GUS when its roofs and towers, its
streets and avenues, its parks and resi-
Dental lawns are overlaid with a new
fallen blanket Of unsullied white.
AT such a time the vast distances of
Washington seem even greater. From
an eminence like Mount st. Alban or
Chevy Chase Circle the boulevards
stretch away into approximate inf1ni-
tude. Long lines of light, they lie like
strings OF pearls across the darker
areas OF the lower levels.
The snow also brings to special notice
the TACT that the Capital is city of
trees. Each branch bears its burden
OF celestial fleece, and the result is an
other manifestation of Winters skill as
an artist. In every direction, as far
as eye can see, stand ordered rows of
living sentinels in uniforms of ebony.
emerald and silver.
There is a quiet, sense Of peace
too, which the snow brings to Wash
lngton, as presumably it does likewise
to other communities, and this is an
other OF its notable attributes. It is
gentle in its harmony, silent rhythm,
music felt but not heard.
Behind the clouds last night a full
moon was at work, and that circum-
stance may have contributed to the net
effect. Whatever the cause as men of
science estimate it, the genius of appre-
clation which is innate in every soul
must have responded to the complete
achievement. Late in the evening any
sentient spirit abroad must have been
conscious of near relation between
himself and the universal phenomena
OF which he Is part and which is
called Nature by some and God by
others.
Not even the best Of poets has been
competent to do justice to the theme,
but humanity in general is aware of the
impulse to hymn the praise of the snow.
1t really is not at all a curious thing
that people should find their hearts
singing in city made surprisingly en-
chanting by its touch

lines; one was that Of character read

able to handle other human beings.
The phlegmatic fellow will need one
sort of handling, the volatile chap an
other.

Usually he is big, beefy man, a

about it certain tinge of laziness.
Sullen, on the other hand, means lone

A person may be sullen without

resentment or i'll temper, while sulleness
is a passive thing, more deeply lying,

Funds for Air-Mail Subsidy
Held Profitable to Country

"It is apparent" advises the Wall
Street Journal that from the view
point of promotion of air transporta-
ton the Government is obtaining far
more for its dollar than it did two
years or four years ago, and that the
air transport industry is making head
way In reducing its reliance upon what
is essentially government subsidy.
Competent observers within that in
dustry hold that air mail routes have
been extended over many hundreds of
miles where it is not justified by de-
mand or usefulness. If so, some re-
duction in the appropriation can be
made without serious injury to the
service as q whole or to the new in
dustry engaged in rendering 1t. But 1t
should not be forgotten that there is
an intimate relation between COM
mercial aviation, as yet so largely de-
pendent upon postal subventions, and
the national defense. The military
expediency of maintaining vigorously
developig airplane manufacture plus
large and highly trained pilot person.
mel cannot lightly be overlooked. For
that reason alone actual governmental
economy Is likely to be better served
in the long run by reasonably sustain
ing the air mail services than through
too drastic retrenchment there which
could more prudently be made in other
places"
