FOREIGN THREAT TO
COTTON NOT FEARED
Americans Must Look Out
for Themselves At
Living Price

College Station, Raleigh Nov. 3D.
The threat of foreign countries In,
creasing their reduction anpd curtail-
ing the market for American export
cotton is not as serious as some peo-
pie think, says Charles A. Sheffield, of
State College.
Sheffield makes this statement in
answer to the argument that adjust
ment Of cotton production in this
country may cause America to lose
its export cotton trade.
The need for crop adjustment, he
says, is to keep American growers
from producing more than they can
sell at home and abroad, as was thS
case before the adjustment program
started. Indications are that the mar
ket for American cotton will increase
in the future. but not enough to alb
sorb all the cotton that America can
produce.
Although it is true, he says, that
foreign cOunReies have slightly in
creaed their production within the
past year or two, they are still below
their production of a few years back,
and there is little prospect of Sc
rious increase in foreign production
in the near future.
India. for example, needs to pro-
duce food on much of its land to
support its dense population. Further
more. the yields per acre are low,
and transportation facilities are poor.
Thus, Sheffield says, India is not like
ly to increase its cotton crop much
above the present size.

CUTTING MAY LEAD ::
NEW REPUBLICANS
Ran Against The Tide To

BY CHARLES +. STEWART
Central Press staff Writer

Washington. Nov 2O.-If the Unit
ed States, taking the country on an
average, is swinging somewhat to the
left, politico-econOmically SpaeklnS,
Senator Bronson Cutting of New Mex
ico seems to be as likely public man
as any to gravitate naturally into the
leadership of a reorganized Repub-
lican party.
Cuttings reelection to the senate,
from the Sunshine State, was by so
narrow margin that it still is dis
puted. by his Democratic rival for the
toga. Dennis Chavez, the common
Wealth's representative in the last two
congresses.
That is to say, his victory by no
means was overwhelming, numerically
reckoned
However, it was a victory (if it
proves to be one, after a probable con-
test) against overwhelming odds. In
the first place, New Mexico normally
tends to be Democratic. The largest
majority it ever gave was scored by
Chavez, as a candidate for its lone
seat in the house of representatives,
In 1882. Cutting might reasonably have
expected the Washington administra-
tion's help in the recent campaign, for
notwithstanding his G.. o. P. labeD
he threw his strength to franklin D.
Roosevelt two years ago, and since
then, has supported most New Deal
policies. The Democratic organization,
under Postmaster General James A.
Farley's craftsmanship, however, did
its utmost to aid CheveZ to defeat
Cutting. Conservative Republicanism

Chavezs favor.
That the senator made the showing
he did was a tremendous personal
triumph for him

when congress meets in January, he
can fairly claim to have beaten the
administration Can extraordinary per
formance, considering the proportions
of the Roosevelt sweep Nov. g. plus
all the votes that conservative Repub-
licanism could muster against him.
1t was an achievement comparable
to Joseph F. Guffeys Democratic vic
tory over Senator David A. Reed in
hitherto rock-ribhed Republican Pen

indeed, fox Pennsylvania to go Demo-
cratic, but, at that, the Pennsylvania

also object to the franchise tax on
the same basis, since most of the
counties that lead in sales tax collec-
tions also lead in franchise tax collec-
tions. But very little objection is
heard here to the franchise tax. al
though the North Carolina franchise
tax rate is said to be the highest OF
any State in the United States The
reason for this condition is generally
regarded as being the fact that the
franchise tax is paid by corporations
and businesses, while the sales tax is
paid by all the people, with the result
that it touches a greater number OF
persons. It is also generally agreed
however, that the corporations pass
the franchise tax along the public, but
in an invisible and indirect way so
that they are not conscious of it.
The amount of franchise and sales
taxes paid by some of the various
counties during the first four months
of this fiscal year are as follows:

beer in from other states and sell it
