SEWAGE PROJECT
TO Be CONSIDERED
Commissioners Will Take Up
Recommendations of Cor.
don and GotWaIS.

The question of whether the District
should proceed in the near future with
construction of sewage disposal plant
will be considered by the District Com
missioners at their board session today.
The Commissioners will consider rec
concentrations from j. B. Gordon, sani-
tary engineer, and Maj. John c. Got
walls, Engineer Commissioner. 1t was
indicated today that while District Off
cials recognize the value of a modern
sewerage disposal plant. they we're faced
with the question of how such an ex-
pensive development might be financed
during the next YER or two.
The matter has been the subject of
a recent technical study by District Off
cials who have received estimates that
such a plant would cost as much as
seven or eight million dollars.
The question of the advisability of
developing a sewage disposal plant here

States Public Health Service published
in January, in which attention of Dis

polite" to her and that she never had
jiaod IIrifh fho Inlfoc in Doris hoPaIJcn

band was stingy and that she couldn't

addition to the Potomac River.
Maj Gotwals pointed out yesterday
that even though a sewage disposal plant
were built below Blue Plains, where
District sewage now is emptied into the
Potomac, this alone would not entirely
eliminate pollution of Rock Greek and
the Anacostia River He pointed out
there is a natural drainage of pollution
into both these streams which would
not be entirely eliminated, even though
the District were able to provide needed
sanitary sewers in the areas of the two
streams to replace combination system
sewers now in use.

LET'S HAVE BREAD LINES

Last winter Union county welfare activities cost
in the neghborhood of 100000. At one time al
most one-fourth of our $4,000 population was be-
ing fed at public expense.
1t is quite probable that much of this expense
could have been saved had Monroe and other towns
in the county maintained soup kitchens, thus oper-
ating bread lines and fed the poor wholesale.
1t is said that men were fed and housed IN New
York City during the winter months at an outlay
of only 500 a week each. 1t is entirely possible
to care for grownups here on that amount. Last
winter the daily wage SO cents for days
work. The day" consisted in most part from .
in the morning an hour for dinner, and quit about
$3.50 in the afternoon.
Bernard McFadden says man may be fed ana
kept in fine condition for whole month on bush
ell of wheat. That's cheaper than boarding horse
and almost equal to the outlay in keeping flock
of hens.
If we're to feed the ne'erdowells, let's do it IN
scientific way and in the least expensive manner.
Many persons that were fed at government expense
during the past months and at the present time
will never again work if they can possibly avoid
so doing.-Monroe Enquirer.

THEY CALL 1T ADVERTISING

The custom in Lenoir of having the advertising
committee of the Merchants Association pass on
all advertising propositions that are submitted to
the Lemon merchants is an excellent one, and saves
the business men in the city from vast deal OF
trouble. All of the numerous advertising schemes
that are used to inveigle dollars from reputable
business concerns strike a snag when they come up
against the decree of the Merchants Association
that paid advertising should advertise.
Most of the demands made by the promoters OF
various so-caed advertising schemes are really
calls for charity and if they were couched in hon
est terms would be request for donations. We
know They come to this office and ask for pub
lefty when what they really want is free adVertls-
ing and advertising is a service that we sell.
AS matter of fact, we usually donate the pub
licity, but we do not consider it anything but
donation Our staff is paid to do the work, we pay
for the cost of the printing and if the cost to us
was totaled, it would run into a large sum-
We de not call these schemes advertising; we
know that they do not bring us in cent, and we
know that advertising pays. We call them charity.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
MUNICIPAL SCHOOL BUILDINGS

al should not be surprised if this new school Id"
and the redistrictng under it should not prove
hot bed of litigation" remarked an outstanding
member of the legal profession to the writer lie"
DAYS ago. The barrister was figuring 1t from
standpoint of municipal ownership of school build
ings and the taxing over of these school buildings
bv the state. Take Mocksville for instance The
neople of the city voted tax on themselves WIN
which to erect our school building. The school
building is therefore the property of the municipal
itv and the town is corporation-a person capable
of sueing and being sued; capable of purchasing
and holding property the same as an individual
Now the state takes over the school and If the town
owes any bonds voted for the erection of the build
ing. the burden is left upon the town to pay these
bonds. It can therefore be easily seen that the
town will demand payment for the building and
eouipment and will be entitled to recover the value
of the building out of the state. This Is nothing
more than fair. Of course just how the state wild
manage to acquire the property is another queS-
ton It might be possible that the building could
he condemned under the right of eminent domain
but that brings about an interesting discussion OF
law. Anyhow, indications are that the reorganlza-
ton of the school system under the 1888 law is not
going to be the easy problem that many might
thnk-Mocksville Enterprise.

IMPROVEMENT SEEN
IN LUMBER INDUSTRY

MISSOULA, Mont, June IT..
(UP)-Definite improvement has
manifested itself in the lumber
industry throughout the north
west, Prof. j. II. RamskiH, of
the University of Montana fores-
try department reported after a
1000 miles trip through Oregon,
Ihado, Washington, California
and Montana.
Ramskill, with Prof. Fay G..
Clark, made the trip with nine
senior students of the foresty de-
partment.
Logging camps and mills Wis
tied on a similar trip in 1882
which then were idle are now
"going wull blast" Ramskill said.
He attributed the pickup to de-
pletion of lumber stocks, and a
renewed demand for building
materials and other lumber sup
plies.

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN
By Ike Walton, RedivivuS

Mr.. Brookshire, head of the
South Carolina Federation of
Labor, says that the depression
has forced many poor girls to
sacrifice their honor because Of
poverty.
1t did not need a representa-
tive of the poor laboring classes
to tell us this. Old man COM
nonsense said so months ago.
But it is just such facts as this
that once made rivers of blood
run red from the foot of the
guillotine.
The most damnablc part of 1t
too, is that the man, or men, or
procuress, who had the money
with which to tempt those poor
girls had that same money with
which to help them without en-
acting that price. Of all the
hellish deeds on Gods green
earth, no more sulphurOus one
smells birthstone to high heaven
than that of the man who takes
advantage of the hunger of a
poor girl to rob her of her
virtue; or of him who will spend
his money in such way when he
could spend it to save life or
a soul.
One sometimes cries out
",Ubv docs God allow such
things?" Maybe tn e Russians
asked that question when they
decided to get a clearer idea of
God. They decided they would
at least help God to put a stop
to conditions promotive of such
infamy; for that sort of bust
ness was mighty common in the
regime of the old Gar. Pos
siblv God may allow such things
as long as men are fools enough
and towards enough to stand for
the conditions producing them.
The poor girls are simply sacri-
fees to the modern moloch. 1t
is not unlikely that many OF the
desperadoes who have lost all
restraint are men whose sisters,
daughters, or wives, were so
sacrificed. In the life story of
Pancho Villa of Mexico some
such legend was told.
Hurry up, Mr.. President;
hurry up, senators; hurry up
bankers, captains of industry,
all We who hold the reins; save
the girls; for if we do not, as
surely as Cromwell marched on
London, as Caesar marched on
Rome, as the Paris mob tore
down the Bastile, as Lenin and
Trotsky rooted out the Roman
offs, so surely will the American
people rise to save their women,
and all hell will not stop them
only righteous government and
Just economic system can.

DR.. Matz told the United Press.
"The idea of warfare is to remove
as many of the enemy as possible,
either by killing or disabling men.
Now, gas is particularly efficient
because it not only removes the
soldier but it necessitates the at
tention of others to care for him.
This makes things more difficult
for the enemy.
Generally speaking, most Of
the gas victims were merely dis
abIcd and put out Of the fight for
a time" ,
DR.. Matz said that of a total of
7O,752 American soldiers who
were treated for the effects of gas
in France, only 200 died as a re-
suit Of the immediate effects, &C
cording to all available records.
"Of course, he said, "thcre have
been deaths due to the residual
effects of the various gascs-et-
fects such as bronchial and lOhar

CHURCH INDIFFERENCE

Indifference of the members is the greatset, draw
back of the Christian church today The churchs
greatest enemy is within its own members. In most
of our Christian churches, few members must
bear all the load. Many members do not attend
church only on special occasions They do little
work, pay none and pray little, if any.
Discipline in most of our churches is a thing of
the past The outside world can tell little differ
ence between church members and non-members.
Members can get drunk serve sentences on the
chaingang or state prison, curse, fight gamble or
live immoral lives and nothing is done about Il.
The leaders usually are afraid they will hurt
body's feelings" If more church members were on
the 'job" it would be a different world. Think
about this if your name is on the church roll Suo
vose every member was just like you, "what kind
of church would it be "-Rutherfordton News.

OVERPRODUCTION? NO,
MISREPRESENTATION
CBy BRUCE CATION

The commonest way of explaining the
American industrial depression is to say
that the nation is suffering from great
oterproduction.
This. as a technical explanation, is quite
correct But to accept it without looking
into the things that lie back of it is to get
an entirely lOpsided picture of the days
most pressing problem.
Technically, of course, we are Overpro-
duced. We can make more automobiles,
electric refrigeratOrs, steel rails, rocking
chairs, electric light bulbs, shoes, auto
tires, plows and what-nOt than we can pos
sibly sell In that sense, we are up against
Oyerproduction in a very real and unpleaS-
ant way.
But there is another side to it-another
name for this problem. If, instead of call
ing it overproduction, we call it undercon-
sumption, that other side becomes clear;
and it also becomes evident that the tradi-
tiOnal method of solving the problem IS
very much out of date.
We may be making more of all of these
things than we can sell-but we are not
making more of them than we need, and
we shall not be for a long, long time. Not
until every citizen has all that he needs Of
this multitude of goods shall we truly have
OverprOductiOn.
During the last few years Iowa and Kan-
sas farmers have had to burn corn and
wheat while city workers have gone hun
CRY; and the same farmers have had to
drive superannuated cars and wear worn
out shoes while the city auto and shoe fac
tories have been idle for want of orders.
On every hand we have had millions OF
people needing all sorts of commodities
very badly; but because they have been
unable to buy them, factories have operat-
ed at a fourth or fifth of normal capacity.
. The administrations industrial control
bill is designed to get around this trouble
by gearing production directly to cOnsump-
ton In the long run, however, this will
not do much good if it simply prevents in
dustry from producing more than can be
sold. 1t must increase consumption-it
must, that is to say, raise the general pur-
chasing power of the natiOn-f it is to get
us out of our difficulty.
Let the ordinary man get his hands OH
enough money to buy the things he needs
and we shall have a broad and enduring
prosperity. We shall not have to talk
about overproduction for many, many years
to come.
