NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
NO SLUR INTENDED

Now comes Madam Secretary of Labor Perkins
with the explanation that in her recent remarks
anent the shoeess South she had no intention to
slur this section of the nation.
In her explanation Miss Perkins says she simply
was attempting to make the point that If pur-
chasing power were built up, increased wages paid,
and better income from increased purchasing pow
err, there would be large market for shoes in the
South" Continuing, she said:
"By the same token there will be market for
fruit in New England, cotton cloth from the South
in New York, and cooking utensils in Oregon. If
earnings and wages and income of the farmers
and wage earners can be built up then we shall
have consuming power able to balance our mass
production power in manufacturing, and this is
our present effort
"The poorer people of the North, South, East
and West have never had the opportunity to buy
all the shoes and other articles they need. Lots of
people in the South know that they need shoes
and they will buy them as soon as they have more
money. l might well have used any other example
instead, but then we should have had none of the
interesting debates on the floor of the senate The
debating was very interesting, but not important
in this instance, because said nothing that might
reasonably have been interpreted as a slur upon
the South"
Well, The Record is glad this abb is forthcom-
ing, for it proves that the New York complex can
be cracked with generous application of criti-
cism.
Now, as The Cleveland Star suggests, if Madam
Secretary would direct attention to the market
possibilities of covering the bare legs of the far
flung fappers, she might do the hosiery mill oper-
ators of the South great service. Right here in
the Hickory area there are manufacturers who
would no doubt be glad to join in such an in
triguing movemcnt.-Hickory Record

LET THE PEOPLE SAY

An amazing incident OF last week was only sec
tiona in its direct effect but it of statewide
Importance and more in its general aspects. We
refer to the action whereby Raleigh school
board refused to call an election to permit the
citizens of that district to vote upon supplement
to the statewide school levy.
The last legislature ruled that all the public
schools of North Carolina should operate eight
months per year and with state support. The same
legislature likewise ruled that cities, towns and
districts where schools are operating longer
than eight months might, if they desired, hold a
special election to see whether they wanted to
supplement the eight months by an additional
month or any part thereof. In other Words any
district might hold an election and vote to have
an extra month and pay the difference between
eight months and nine or whether other supple
ments with certain restrictions the people of the
district might desire.
Which is to say that little power left in
the hands of the people to determine how and
how long their schools might run if they paid for
it. Certainly the people should have the right to
determine some things for themselves. In the Ra-
leight district in the Shelby district, or in any
district the people may desire to continue to have
a nine months school Or, the other hand, they
may be satisfied with eight months. Either way,
and regardless of how they feel isn't it bit high
handed to deny them the privilege of voting upon
it? We cannot say how the people of Shelby will
decide about the same question when the time
comes. Sentiment seemingly favors more school
than provided by state support But if it does or
does not, it would be intruding little too far
upon the few rights the people have remaining to
refuse them the opportunity to express themselves.
Regardless of legal interpretations, the children
going to school the peoples children and it is
the people who pay, in one form or another, for
that schooling. Why shouldn't they have the right
to have a say about it?-Cleveland Star.

carry no enforcing power beyond
that of publicity or public opin-
ion. In any event, minimum
wages for specific industries
would be fixed by wage boards
representing labor, employers and
the public rather than by Con.
greSS itself.
Secretary Of Labor Perkins and
other protagOnists argue that it
is vital to the public interest to
fix bottom in the fall of wages
and thus stabilize purchasing
power. When the Senate passed
the Black 3O-hour week law many
members realized that il might be
of little aid without a minimum
wage provision, and it immedi-
alely became obvious that. the
measure as passed would be fol-
lowed by reductions of income
for employees whose hours were
reduced. And the demand for
minimum wage legislation became
vociferous after President Roose-
welt had publicly urged governors
of industrial states to promote
minimum wage laws such as that
recently passed in New York.
Nine states now have minimum
wage laws for women and minors.

VJASHINGTON - Those optl-
w mists who have been assur-
ing us for the last couple oil
years that We were passing
through a revolution without
knowing it are at last entitled to
a hearing.
The sudden surge Of support
for a minimum wage law TO go
along with a law limiting hours
cf work is the most radical mani
festation to appear since the
Roosevelt administration came in.
Until a few days ago the pro-
poSal for a federal minimum
wage law was merely plank in
the platform Of the Socialist par
ty States which had attempted
any regulation Of wages always
confined their legislation to wom-
Ell and minors.

support of the secretary of labor,

Of industry iself. Some sort of
minimum wage legislation i'll this
Congress has suddenly become
likely.
The fact that such drastic reg
ulatiOn is now under cOnsidcra-
ton demonstrates the change OF
attitude here as to what may rea-
sonably be expected from the SUI,
preme court. The court in the
past 10 years has declared uncon'
stitutional even minimum laws
passed by states for women and
children. While there is thus nc
assurance that it would uphold q

REACHING THE PUBLIC THROUGH
THE PRESS

An electric company in Michigan, serv-
ing 100000 customers in 200 towns and
cities, published a series of letters adj
dressed to customers in the newspapers in
that large territory. In the first of these
open letters the company announced that
after considering several ways of reaching
it's customers it had decided to use the adj
vertising columns of the newspapers 1t
was believed this would be more effective
and less costly than writing letters, using
circulars, or broadcasting.
Score another bull's-eye for the news
papers. The Michigan electric company
did not make an original discovery in the
case referred to, but it is seldom, of course,
that newspapers are used for the purpose
Of delivering letters to the customers of a
business concern. 1t is a fact, however,
known for years to the cOuntry's leading
business men, that a business message of
any character may be broadcast effective
ly to the public through the advertising
columns of the newspapers.
For definite results economically OBJ
tanned no other advertising medium APP
prOaches the daily newspaper in coverage
or reader response. An overwhelming ma
jority of American families are regular
readers of the daily newspapers of the
country. A letter or an advertisement in
regular form in its columns will reach a
majority of the people in the territory of
any first class daily newspaper in the
country. The letter or advertisement will
not only reach the people but will get
their reaction and RESPONSE
With the country headed out of the con-
ditions of depression which have gripped
il for nearly four years, a golden Oppor-
tunity is presented to all classes of bust
ness men to make use of the power of adj
vertising in the daily press. The daily
press is available every day in the year.
The daily newspaper can be used without
a minutes notice to it's advertising depart
ment. All that is necessary is to prepare
copy and get it to the newspaper before
the days copy deadline is reached. Month
ly magazines and weekly newspapers,
many of which have real value as adver-
Using mediums, lack this day by day avail
ability. The daily newspaper is at the SER
vice of its patrons day by. day. This great
advantage of the daily newspaper appeals
with particular emphasis to business men
in retail trade.
In fact the retail merchants strongest
ally and best friend is his daily newspaper.
1t stands ready from day to day to carry
his messages to the public. If quick COM
munication with patrons or the general
public is desired, the daily newspaper is
the only medium available. 1t will get the
merchants message to the public before
letters can be written or circulars printed
and distributed.

THE BANK DEPOSIT GUARANTEE

The bank guarantee amendment to the Glass
banking BILL offered by Senator Vandenberg, pro-
viding for the immediate guarantee of bank de-
posts up to $4,000. in banks declared solvent by
state or federal authorities, is the first step in
what we believe the most important measure yet
taken for our economic recovery.
Senator Vandenberg deserves the thanks of the
people of the whole nation for his persistent work
and effort in bringing this legislation to success
full conclusion in the senate.
President Roosevelt has not indicated what he
will do if this amendment is acted on favorably
by congress. The bill has yet to go to conference.
1t is to be hoped he will promptly affx his sig
nature to it.
Nothing will so hasten his program for economic
recovery as this.
1t is no secret that there are hundreds of mil
lions of dollars still in hiding in this country.
This money will promptly reappear as soon as
adequate guarantee is assured
Senator Vandenbergs amendment is only an
emergency measure to cover the gap between the
present time and the time the permanent insur-
ance measure goes into effect.

very reason.-Rock Hill (S.- c. Herald.
