TUGWELL BILL NOT NEEDED

Among the measures which Congress will be
called to consider at its present session is the
Tugwell bill which, in its original FORM gives to the
Secretary of Agriculture almost dctatoral power
over grading labelling and advertising of the food,
drug and cosmetic industries, which together con
stitute larger volume than any other unit Of
American business. The vast power which the bill
carries should be sufficient to make Legislators
hesitate and balancing of the good to be accom-
plished against the ruin to be wrought by its pass
age should insure its defeat.
The object of the BILL as stated in the title is:
"To prevent the manufacture shipment, and sale
of adulterated or msbranded food, drugs, and cos
meticS and to regulate traffic therein" With this
purpose no good citizen find fault, but many
of the regulations by which the purpose is to he
accomplished as set forth in the body of the bill
are so bureaucratic, unnecessary and n-Amercan
that unanimous protest against it from the vast
businesses affected has rolled on to Washington.
For more than % wears this o"""+"'' L.

act which has earned for itself absolute popular
approval From time to time the original act has
been amended to keep pace with advancement IN
science and business ethics If still further changes
are needed to make this widely tested law cover

Tugwell BILL by all means let Congress adopt such

Readers of Southern Agrculturst have direct
interest in this subject because the drastic provi-
sions of the proposed act would most certainly
lower the immediate purchasing power of some Of
the largest buyers of farm products. The .Tugwell

of current experience in the matter of attitude
toward all law.
Why should it be necessary for the governor Of
the state to issue manifesto to the general effect
that the state has a ruling which compels citizens
to purchase licenses by given date, otherwise
subject themselves to arrest for disobedience to
the law, and that it will be enforced?
Is there any more real reason that he should h.
forced to take this step than that he should an
nounce to his fellow citizens that there is law on
the books forbidding murder and that he has in
srructed the state patrolmen and all lawenforcinC
officers of the lesser political units to arrest any
person who undertakes to commit this crime?
The truth is that the incident makes emphatic
the general attitude of people toward all edicts Of
government these days,-to their disposition to
obey a law if it suits them, to disregard it if Ii
happens not to be convenient for them to obey it.
Law is law no matter in what form it may come
down to us nor whether it exactly meets our wishes
in the matter or not and one Of the major reasons
that there is so little respect today for all law is
because contempt for some laws is tolerated.
That's one and another is that even officers
often wink at some violations because they know
the public is not Sentimentally inclred to be ia
vorable toward them. You can't blame the officers
in such case. They are refecting the popular
will of the people.
more wholesome respect for all laws would
bring about an easier enforcement of
those more commonly broken and until this gen
eral attitude of obedience to constituted authority
is disciplined into the people, there will be
tinued disorder and that form of lawessness which
is only another name for chaos-The Charlotte

REGULATION OF PROFIT MOTIVE
90 ESSENTIAL
CBY BRUCE CATION

When Nicholas Murray Butler, presl-
dent Of Columbia University, warned the
nation the other day that our society IS
qoing to disintegrate unless we find some
wav of subordinating the profit motive, ne
touched on the key problem OF this diff
cult and perplaXing era.
II isa peculiar situation that we are IN,
these days.
We live in and by a social set-up which
dcDends for its functiOning on the motive
power supplied by the lure of profits. By
and large. this set-up has worked pretty
we'll during the long years Of our history
as Il nation.
We don't propose to give it IN: nobody
vet has succeeded in convincing us that
ANYTHING we might try in its place would
be even halfway satisfactory.
Yet we face the uncomfortable fact that
tho very force which keeps this machinery
INTERCHANGEABLE profit motives force
which can wreck the whole business unless
we find some way of regulating it.
Part of this regulation can be appheo
nv law. A good part of it, however, must
come from a changed mental attitude Oh
the part of all of us. We need TO realiZe
that we do the job we have to do not on'E
bacause we get paid for it, but also be-
conse we are rendering service to our
fellow citizens.
That's notion to which we have gwen
. croa+ deal of lip service in the past. IN
fortunately. we have stopped there We
ouicklv lose sight of our ideal when the
weight of dollars in the other pan OF the
scales gets too heavy.
And vet this idea that the service one
renders is more important than the money
he makes is no Utopian concept. we
needn't despair of making it working

are some callings where it is accepted ano

GOOD BAROMETER

The motor vehicle statistics are perhaps as good
A barometer as could be found today in gauglng
general business conditions throughout the United
States
We all know that in North Carolina and also
here in Hickory there has been a decided pickup
recorded i'm the sale of automobiles within the past
six months. That some condition holds good
throughout the nation, according to the current
issue of Motor Magazine.
There was a preciptate decline in the number
of motor vehicles in uSe from the end OF 1851
through the two succeeding years. This has been
definitely checked as a consequence of the new
business which developed the past summer ana tali
and now we axe told that the loss amounts to ONLY
: per cent this year in the total number OF motor
cars in operation, whereas a loss of Go per cent
was shown in 1882.
The total of cars in use. of December 81, Will
be 23,723, 399, of which 2O,5261OO are passenger
cars and 3,197299 are trucks. This represents a
decline of 1921 ,SS2 from the aIl-time total of
265452S1 cars and trucks in at the end OF
$780, a shrinkage of 1916 per cent.
Passenger cars have fallen lip per cent from
the record of 1921 $50 at the end of 1929, while
trucks have dropped 50 per cent from the peak
of 3486O19 at the end of 1880. The number of
passenger cars in use this year slightly under
- per cent less than at the end of 1882. The truck
decline was a trfla over the same percentage.
Gains in the number OF passenger cars in use
were recorded in Arkansas. California, Georgia,
Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island,
South. Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and West
Virginia, but the increases in Louisiana, Maryland
and Texas were insignificant
r o,d ho
inability of many persons with serviceabe vehicles
to put them into use it still would be idle to at
tempt an estimate of the number of cars scrapped.
1t is significant, however, that approximately l.
500 900 passenger cars were sold last year, while
there was net loss of S82,051 in the number in
use. This shows thatsa large proportion of the
cars in use can't be run much longer HickOry

T itself. .
| referred to the proposals OF

| have a very strong conviction
that all such proposals should be
intensively examined, without pre-
iudice and with an open mlnd;
that industry should cooperate
with government, having the OBJ
iective of perpetuating those
things that do not appear to

Experimentation can be con-
Quoted blindly or with an open

After all, Ut is these qualities that
