COUNTY GOVERNMENT

The Virginia Institute of Public Affairs devoted
week to study and discussion of the county gov
eminent problems
1t noted the trend toward the assumption of
county functions by the state.
1t suggested as solutions the revamping of coun-
lty government, centralizing responsibility in an
executive head of the county government and con-
soldation of counties where possible.
| 1t concluded that county government in the
states was threatened with extinction unless Local
self government could increase its efficiency and
reduce its cost.
The trend toward state control and RESPONSE
bility is real enough. 1t is to be noted in South
Carolina, where the local governmental units have
been surrendering more and more to the lure of
state aid The proposal is to make the school sys-
tenn over into a state school system There are
state aid for highways and a state highway sys-
tenn. There is the rudiments still of state con-
stabulary and there is the state highway patrol
The South Carolina council suggests the organiza-
tion of a state police system.
And there is sound sense in the proposals that
county government should be reorganzed and the
number of counties reduced. South Carolina has
as counties, North Carolina and Virginia 100 each,
Georgia 161. And there is no reason for even 46
counties in South Carolina. 1t is easier to get to
Columbia now by automobile and paved road than
it was once to get to any county seat. Modern
transportation has dwarfed county areas but South
Carolina has more counties now than it had in
1850. The political and sociological reasons that
occasioned the creation of other counties are no
longer valid. The number of counties might prop
erly enough be still further reduced 1t would save
the taxpayers money.
But there is no reason to hope that anything
will actually be done about it. To abolish county
means the abolition of county seat and the coun-
tyseat lawyers and perhaps even the countyseat
newspapers win object. 1t means the abolition Of
county officers and the officeholders will object
1t means the abolition of county campaigns and
the voters will object; they believe apparently in
telecting local officers, forgetting that they must
! pay for the luxury.
! And so the trend toward state assumption OF
local functions will go on, but local officers and
local elections will persist County taxpayers tend
to overlook the cost when the money is supplied
by the state.-Columbia Is c. Record.

Disarmament For

N ew Conference
Arthur Henderson Reports
Better Attitude For
France, Germany

LONDON, July %. (UP)-A
disposition in favor Of disarma-
lnent was reported by Arthur
Henderson, president of the world
disarmament conference, upon his
return Sunday from series OF
talks in Paris, Rome, Berlin and
Prague.
Henderson said, however, that
he was doubtful of immediate
success toward cutting of arms
burdens.
Completing a trip, the most
important result of which may
be to bring Premier Edouard
Daladier of France. and Chancel-
lor Adolf Hitler, of Germany
| together, Henderson said that
agreement appeared possible on
the following points:
An agreement not to re-
sort to force.
2.-Definition of aggression.
3.-Control and supervision II
arms.
Decentralization of European
armies.
5.-Controlled arms budget
limitation.
6.-Controlled manufa u + {
and trade in arms.
He talked with the government
leaders in Paris and Berlin in an
effort to get Daladier and Hitler
together for a conference to clear
the air between France and Ger
many. Only in this way, he said,
could confidence be restored be-
tween the two nations and dis
armament progress continued.

WAR SPIRIT CAN WIN FOR
BLANKET CODE
(By BRUCE CATION


Announcement from Washington of the
blanket code for all American industry is
in some ways the most encouraging thing
that has happened in this country in a
great many years.
That is not so much because it offers a
new chance to wipe out the depression as
because it will enable US to unite emotion
ally in a way that is seldom possible except
IN wartime.
The drive to get cooperation in this code
is to be conducted just as the Liberty Loan
and draft act drives were conducted dur
ing the war. And in that fact there is
something extremely heart-warming.
A great many people have remarked on
the singular fact that nation usually is
able to focus its effort and its emotions on
one point only in time of great danger. De-
structive and frightful as war is, it usually
is the only thing that can make a people
feel truly united, the only thing that can
make them forget their differences, bury
self-interest and work together in COM
mon cause.
1t has often been said that if only peo-
pie could get together on a peace-time
project with the spirit that is displayed in
time of war, it could surmount almost any
obstacle.
That is the chance that is open to us
now.
We are being asked to submerge selfish
interests for the common good; to be
Americans first and self-seeking individu-
ais later; to stand united for the sake of
those fellow-citizens who have not yet had
fair break. ,- '.
This brings US a great challenge and a
great opportunity.
1t is challenge because it will test our
intelligence, our patriotism and our endur-
ance just as deeply and just as truly as
any wartime emergency ever did.
And it is an opportunity because it
opens the way to new day in American
history.
Upon the events of the next six months
probably, will depend the fate of our flight
to escape from the depression.
We can shape our future to suit our
selves: and if we are as wise and brave as
we like to believe, we can pave the way
for better, freer life for everyone in
America.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service, Writer

WASHINGTON -. Secretary of
w the Interior Harold Ickes Is
both a cabinet member and one
of those powerful new recovery
administrators. He is director
of the $3,300,O00,OO0 public
works program.
You may we'll ask: How come?
The answer is that both Ickes and
the administration feared the
scandals and charges Of favorit-
ism that are almost inevitable in
the administration Of such an
enormous program. One army
officer had been tentatively Sc
lected as administrator; then an
other was named temporary ad-
ministrator.
Rightly or wrongly, Ickes and
his associates came to believe that
they could not find an army eng!-
neering officer who would be i'm
pregnable against influence from
private interests and from the
army itself, which clamors for
hundreds of millions for barracks
and rivers-harbors projects. There
were strong suspicious of politics
and favoritism at work even be-
fore the program got under way.
So Ickes asked Roosevelt for
the enthusiastically, explaining
the situation. Roosevelt agreed.
Ickes could take the title, name
his own deputy administrator"
who would be administrator to
all intents and purposes-and
have complete command, free
from political strings.
For his deputy Ickes chose
Col. Henry M. Waite, in whom
he has complete faith.
Until lately it was fashionable
- here to boast the possession
of political pull. Now the only
