ar which will constitute an intolerable bur-
den for generations to come. For example
the federal government is already reaching
into every community in the country and
into every home to collect special taxes.
These are in addition to income taxes and
they must be paid regardless of the income
of individuals or corporations. The last ses-
sion of Congress imposed heavy additional
taxes. A large part of these taxes are i'm
posed on corporations and when the aver
age man hears that he approves and yells,
Soak the corporations" He thinks OF the
corporations as the "big business" OF the
country.
AS a matter of fact the company that
publishes The Times-News is a corporation
and the new corporation taxes levied by
the last session of Congress bear just as
heavily on this business in proportion as
on the biggest corporations in the country
in fact, they bear more heavily on this
business, as the big corporations are in bet
ter financial position to meet the additional
burden than this little newspaper business.
Taking this business as an example OF
how the taxing power is reaching out from
Washington City to Cypress the people Of
every community in the United States, 1t
may be said that the additional tax levied
directly on corporations by the last Con-
gress will take from The Times-News a
sum almost equal to the tax paid to Hen
derson county.
Think of an insignificant private bust
ness away down here in the mountains Of
North Carolina being specially and spe-
officially taxed by the federal government
in sum approximately as large as the tax
paid to the county for all local benefits
This in addition to all the special taxes
paid by individuals and corporations gen
orally.
How long can the country survive under
this system?

loave added impetus. Then follow
cd the period of highway construc-
ition under the regime of Governor
| Morrison, which was soon follow
ed nv the wild real-estate boom,
whose net result was more OF a
deterrent than benefit, except
for its advertising value. This
! sketch brings the story down to
the period Of the great depression
but for which further progress
would probably have proceeded at
swift pace. By concentrating at
tention upon coordinated planning
bv teaching the lesson Of sound
er financial basis, and by produe-
ing the situation in which the Val
LEV may be wisely related to the
larger Tennessee Plan. it is to be
hoped that the depression may III
timately prove a blessing in dis
guise. If the boom and the depres-
sion teaches those who still own
ihomes and lands in the Valley how
to hold them if they wish TO. it
may also contribute to preventing
the Valley population from being
unfairly traded, tricked, or forced
out of their holdings.

SHIFTING THE IDLE TO FARMS
(Bv BRUCE CATION


The governments effort to place unem-
ployed city workers on farms where they
can support themselves and their families
constitutes one of the most interesting eX-
periments in the entire recovery program.
Interior Secretary Ickes, under presidential
order, will have S25, 100000 to spend on
the endeavor. The consequences may we'll
be more far-reaching than the modest be-
ginning indicates.
What to do with hundreds of thousands
of workers permanently displaced in in
dustry has been one of the most battling
problems of the economic and social reor-
ganization now being attempted.
Coal mining furnishes case in point.
Authorities estimates that there are now
probably 100000 idle miners who can
never again find work digging coal even
under the most favorable circumstances
There is no longer sufficient demand for
fuel to warrant their labor, because Of the
development of water power, the use or
oil for fuel, and other factors. What is
true of coal mining is true in less degree
in scores of other occupations.
Obviously, direct relief, which is now
such a heavy burden on taxpayers, will
not permanently solve the problem. 1t is
necessary and desirable in the present
emergency, but cannot be adopted as a
permanent method of providing food and
shelter for large numbers of the popula-
ton. Direct relief and even made work.
are makeshifts, and do not permanently
fit the benefciaries to support themselves
! Difficulties in carrying out the back-to-
the-land movement are at once apparent
Urban jewellers lack the experience neces-
! sary to make them successful farmers
| Moreover, the government is engaged in a
gigantic effort to reduce agricultural out
put, and any increase in productivity would
defeat this effort.
/ These and other difficulties, however, dc
not seem insurmountabe. The farms or
which the workers will be placed presum
| ably will be subsistence hOmesteadS which
would not materially add to the glut OF
farm products. The migrants would have
the friendly cooperation and assistance
of the government. And small farms adj
jacent to cities would offer possible part
time industrial employment.
The project may be an important factor
in the final and permanent solution of the
unemployment problem, which is present
1 even in the best of times.
