THE STATE ON HOLIDAY TRADE

= The State, Raleigh weekly, which keeps
Uniformed about what is happening
Sthroughout North Carolina, brings the
news that there is going to be more Christ
mas decorating and more evidence OF the
EChristmas spirit in North Carolina towns
and cities than ever before. The State Is
referring to community decorations, on the
sstreets and in the business houses; some
thing to make our towns and cities look
4Christmasy and to help the populace get
the Christmas spirit and to promote hoh-
day business.
Carl Goerch says in The State that In
order to do any great amount of business,
1t is necessary that people be IN the proper
frame of mind. There is nothing more de-
pressing than gloomy, dark streets"
And then Goerch figures that if two
towns are exactly alike as trading centers
and one of them dresses up for Christmas
and the other does not, the town that
makes the holiday display will do % per
cent or more business above the town that
goes on its gloomy, depressing way.
The State favors good lighting, Christ
mas decorations, first class store displays
and concerted community action.
This combination always wins and the
town or city that goes for holiday trade
in this way always comes out ahead of the
listless, dead city or town, that sits back
and waits, voicing the view that there
aint soin' to be no business, nohow, this
Christmas"
There is always Christmas business. In
the worst years of the depression there
was Christmas business. People spend
money at this season who spend little a.
: any other time of the year; and the spend
ers increase their spending
{ And the trading centers that fight for
:. the holiday business get it.
= The towns and cities that dress up for
!, Christmas, light and decorate the streets
and business houses, make attractive dis
. plays of holiday goods, and tell their story
z to the public with first class advertising
: get the larger part of the business.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
POWER RATES

Secretary Ickes made the statement last week
that the rates of the Duke Power company were
unfair" The statement was made when ne was
asked by press correspondents for comment Oh
the efforts of the Duke interests to prevent the
use of federal funds, something over two mlllioh
dollars, for the water power development at Buzz
Yards Roost on the Saluda river, in Greenwood
county, South Carolina.
Replyine to the charge of unfair rates, the pres-
dent of the Duke company says that I'm the SUIT
in court, the Duke companies have alleged that
their rates are fair and reasonable and they would
like Very much to have the opportunity. to show
that IF the Buzzard's Roost, project were required
70 carry the same tax burden that the Duke CON-
panies are carrying, and not given the benefit
Of government subsidy of 80 per cent of the
cost of the labor and material of the plant, the
rates of the Buzzards Roost project would be very
materially higher than those of the Duke conf
panies Even with this tax immunity and govern
ment subsidy the Duke companies claim that the
Buzzard's Roost projects will not be able to meet
the Duke rates unless the project resorts to tax
funds to meet in large part its operating expenses
and costs.
The News and Press could not qualify as n
power expert but if the Duke officials, who have
been pretty successful in operating their business
are willing to prove that the Buzzards Roost prof.
ect cannot be operated successfully without tax
funds to pay operating costs, unless the rates
higher than those of the Duke companies, we would
certainly offer them an opportunity to give the
benefit of their long years of experience and thus
prevent the waste of funds which taxpayers will
have a hard time raising in the years to come.
We believe that the people of this wonderful
country of ours are entitled to buy power which
is furnished by the water in our rivers as cheapy
as possible, but at the same time do not be-
lieve that it is fair to use public funds to give
competition to big taxpayers, without giving these
taxpayers opportunity to present some very
concrete figures about what is. required in manu-
featuring and distributing power.
There is considerable difference in operating
theoretical company and practical one, as many
an optimist has discovered too late.-Stanly News

rect, that's probably a tough
break for big business. But the
tendency to regard him as the
voice of conservative industry
has grown along with the mount
ing controversy as to whether F..
D. has been taking the bankers
and industrialists into camp or
vice versa.
Leaving personalities aside, the
great weakness of Moffett in any
test Of strength here is the fact
that his Federal Housing Admin
istration's program--which was
supposed to restore prosperity
has been a decided flop.
The best boast of Jim's highly
expensive organization to date is
that home modernization loans
since its campaign began four
months ago have totaled $2O,-
100000.
ON the other hand, Moffett has

Sc, although Ickes promises
them far more business with his
talk of housing programs running
into the billions as against Moi
fett's mere millions, those indus
tries stand grimly for Jim and
their present profit margins.
Ickes says those prices should
go down.
Moffett also holds high cards
through the fact that Assistant
President" Don Richberg is per-
manently sour on Ickes and that
White House Secretary Marvin
Mcintyre, who is such a good
fellow" that nearly every lobby-
ist in town just simply adores
him, is one of Jim's chief
hackers.
