WASHINGTON - American cit
W les, towns and counties, o|-
ing some $15,OOO,0OO,O00, are all
vitality interested in proposals
bobbing up again in Congress 10
uermit moratoriums on or the
scaling down Of local debts.
Nearly q thousand communities
have dcfaulted during the depres-
sion on estimated obligations OF
somewhere around 4 billion dol
lars.
Many others, hard pressed by
economic conditions and a rising
tax delinquency, also seek federal
relief measures such as. have been
proposed for mortgagcTidden far
mCrs and others.
But there are also cities in eX-
cellent financial condition which
oppose such steps on the ground
that they would wreck municipal
credit-which aiready IS i'll very
bad shape-and drive down the
value of their bonds while making
further borrowings impossible.
Thus far the pressure on Con-
gress from municipalities has not
been very heavy, although 1t has
bcen highly concentrated from
certain localities. Bondholders, al
though some Of them want to ad'
inst their holdings with defdulted
communities, arc vocifcrous IN op'
posing a law which would give fed
eral sanction to individual mora
forums.
Two plans have been considered
by the House Judiciary committee
One is the Mcleod bill, which
would enable cities or towns tc
Mead insolvency before a fedora
court and ask for a twO-year mora
forum on principal and interest
which might later be extended.
The other is the Wilcox bill
which would permit political subdl
visions Of states to submit a plan
of composition or scaling down OIL
principal and interest TO Sucl {
court for approval after the plan
had received the approval of credl
tors holding so per cent or more
of the amount of the obligations
The Mcleod proposal has beer
vigorously sponsored by the city OF
Detroit, which has financial Crisis
and doesn't want to default. The
warmest support for the Wilco'
bill has come from Coral Gables
and other Florida boom communi
ties which have defaulted and are
trying to settle up =.
It is not unlikely that the judi
ciary committee, which reported
the Mcleod bill fayorably to the

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

Dear Mr.. Editor:
/ cannot attend The weekly
meetings Of the Kiwanis club very
regularly. and some weeks ago l
was greatly interested IN reading
in The Timcs-News about some
Of the members telling what they
would do if they were IS gears
old again.
If | were Is ! would go 10 live
with the same old farmer, man
who never knew when 10 stop
work and expected me to 90 with
him, but was always an upright
and reliable citizen.
Then I would go back a few
years before IS, and walk sew
cral miles into HendersonvilIc to
attend school Z few months cacn
year. working between times to
paw the tuition and | would wear
the same patched clothing and
play and study and associate with
the same school children, as fine
boys and girls as any town ever
produced.
Then would go on past is
and rent farm from the same
southern lady, and care for 1t a
long time
Then as childish old age came
slipping up on me, | could not
be better pleased than to be an
honorary member Of the Hender-
sonville Kiwanis club, with the
same genial membership that it
| has now.

Teachers have been receiving

schools for the past two days,

said today at the office Of the

still remains six days work in
that month for which teachers
have not been compensated, but
for which they will be paid later.

EASIER FOR THE FARMER

The much talked about proposals for rehnane-
ing farm mortgages and reducing interest charges
are before congress.
The idea behind these proposals is that the fall
in the market value of the produce the farmer has
TO selILif he has any, and if he can sell it at all
is making him pay practically double, when meas
ured by the amount of produce required to pay it.
Whether the argument is fair to all concerned
may not be absolutely certain, but that is the way
economists and statistcians figure it OUT and Ger
tanly as far as figures go it is correct as it con-

institutions which would have to
drop municipal bonds from port

But Thomas G. Taylor, a vice
president of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, who appeared
here to represent that and other
concerns, warned that such 4 law
would. encourage cities to slow
down on taxes and their collection
and get into bankruptcy to avoid

Germs the farmer.
And so the president wants all present farm
mortgages amortized at IL per cent instead OF
per cent, which has been a quite general rate.
As a measure of relief this will undoubtedly
help those whom it is intended to help. But 1t can
be only help. If it is expected to cure anything
there is going to be lot of disappointment. And
it is the sort of thing that will take from hand
and put in the other.
The hope of real benefit can be only that it may
strike 2 better balance-Rock Hill Is. c. Herald.
