George Bill, Said
Most Beneficial
For Schools Aid
Tn. Times-TSews Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH. Feb. 2S.-N o TT n
Carolina would get much more
federal money for assisting the
rnb;;c schools of the state, or
ehont $500, 900, if the bill IN.
PRODUCED by Senator George, OF
Georgia, had been or should De
nassed according to DIR. A. L:
Alton state Superintendent OF
Psblic instruction, said today
This bill, however, has oeen
Temporarily withdrawn by Sena-
tor George as a result of the ar
rapgement whereby the Emer-
pencv Relief Admins T o
agreed to set aside S50,OOO,OOO
for the relief of pubic schools
in the various states. The george
bin would have provided for the
appropriation of S5O,OOO,OoO 1or
the same purpose, but would nave
distributed it on q different BASIS
according to DR.. Allen.
While the George bill has not
been completely withdrawn ana
is still pending in the senate
present indications are that II
will not be passed at this SeS..
sion, DIR. Allen said, in view OF
the action taken by the Emer-
genev Relief Administration.
'Under the George bill. the
S50.U0O,0OO would have been DIS
tributed to the various states on
the ratio of the school popula-
tions. or the number of children
of school age, between 6 years
and 20 years of age, to the total
population. DR.. Allen said. II
this money had been distributed
on this basis, North Carolina
would have gotten approximately
S1,5OO.00O, since about 20 per
cent of the states total popula-
ton falls into the school age
category. In fact, only two 9TH
er states, South Carolina and
Mississippi, have a greater pro-
portion of its total population, or
about 80 per cent. of schol age
than North Carolina. So we
would have gotten a substantial
shce of this money. We could
also have used it to supplement
teachers salaries and for other
school needs"
But under the terms so far set
up BY the Emergency Relief Ad-
ninistration, North Carolina will
get little, if any, of the $5O,OOO,-
600 it has set aside. since under
these regulations it can be used
only to open schools in states
where they have clOsed-and enne
have closed in North Carolina.
1t must also be used only for
needy and unemployed school
teachers. For while the teachers
here may be needy. they are not

Wallace Popular
With The Press
Fails To Understand Their
lrnpatieRee AT Times
BY WILLIAM A. BELL, JR.
Unitsd Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. (UP)
Like his chief in the White
House, Secretary of Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace is popular with
newspaper men. Sometimes he
cannot quite understand their
Impotence but he is friendly to-
ward them and they admire him
for his outspokenness and for
his sly humor.
There is not much that Wal
lace won't talk about if given
the chance. His lieutenants guard
that chance, however. T y
shield him and have begun to de-
eIop in him a cautiousness which
is not native. His eyes twinkl-
ing under shaggy. red brows.
Wallace once. in a while speaks
his mind and nearly knocks his
listeners off their chairs. Often
he would let what he has said re-
main said if it were not for the
uncomfortable looks and gestures
of subordinates.
Wallace often is more out
spoken than he himself realizes.
He can't quite visualize just how
startling some of his remarks
would locke in print.
A terrific worker, Wallace
walks two miles daily from his
hotel apartment to the Agricui-
ture Buildings. Usually he is
accompanied by James LeCron, a
secretary, and Nils A. Olsen,
chief of the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics. On blustery
winter days the three may be
seen swinging down Connecticut
Avenue, their arms locked for
mutual support against the sting
ing wind. The thermometer fell
to six below last week, but Wal
lace took the walk just the same

What more can any reasonable man
ask than that this promise of our
government can and is tested in every
way in every day of the year and in
no case has there ever been fail
ure. We do not need to go to the gov
eminent window and ask for gold. Do
you know that an official has just
said that this doubling man has not
shown up at the windaw in more than
"a years. So then, we all know by
daily experience that all this currency
is g sound" regardless of any defini-
ton of "soun. d money" we may have
constructed in an ignorant past. We
now emerge into the upper story of
our minds and look around us and see
that we have as sound and depend
able money as there is any need for
and can now go on and enlarge that
same currency in sufficient volume to
meet the needs of the country just the
same as we would print enough pos
tage stamps so that any customer at
the post office window could always
buy stamps when wanted. The same
idea rules in each case. Now we can
see just what it is that constitutes
really sound money.

To limit the possibilities of Column
bia River navigation by dam with
out sealocks at Bonneville to me seems
unthinkable. To plan in small way
awaiting tonnage-is to handicap
the development of this great river
and turn certain success into ques-
tionable enterprise. Sealocks at Bon
neville can be more economically con-
structed while the dam is building
than ever again. Sealocks are in keep
ing with the needs of the present and
the vision of the future. Adjacent to
the Columbia and Snake rivers there
is almost unlimited farm and forest
tonnage now available.
But may we vision the interior
Northwest of the future when supplied
with water transportation and cheap
power? Few areas in these United
States can equal our marvellous pos
sibilities. Up to the present we have
but scratched the surface. We have a
matchless soil suited to the success
full growing of greatly diversified
crops as our canneries are demon
strating. Present tonnage is in its
infancy. We have an all-the-year
climate surpassed by no agricultural
section of our country. Our large
ranches, with greater moisture, will
ultimately be ten acre tracts. We have
raw materials in abundance from
farms, forest and quarries. Our labor
is unsurpassed for output, as demon
strated day by day, and as compared
in output with other sections of the
U. s. during the war. We soon shall
have an unlimited supply Of the

that the Benton County commissioners
should deliberately seek to encourage

= LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE z
BY WEB. Randolph

-S~~>~~~~
When most people speak of sound
money, they mean currency that can
be exchanged for gold at the United
States treasury. And consequently
currency that cannot be exchanged is
not sound money. say this is the
general opinion, and it rests upon the
belief that this is the law. Gentle
reader, if you have been one of this
school of financial thought, you may
as well prepare to weep over a much
fallen idol. You must be told now
that this never was the law. And
worse STILL what law there ever was
that claimed to so back your currency
was never obeyed by either the banks
nor the United States treasury. But
neighbor, do not take my word for
it. Take a glance at the Federal Re-
serve bulletin figures for February
of this year. Gold certificates one and
one tenth billions dollars are fully
backed by gold. Silver certificates,
495, 100000 fully. backed by silver
but not one ounce of gold backing. So
you see that these silver certificates
could not be "sound money" Then
comes the national bank notes of
which there was nearly one billion.
These notes are not backed either by
gold or silver, neither by banks nor
by the United States treasury. Can
these notes by "sound money" accord
ing to the accepted standards? Sure
not. The recent devaluation of the dol
lar did not affect this "soundness" in
any way.
No change has been made that
would in any way make this currency
better or worse. The next on the list
stands $346, 500, 900 of "greenbacks,"
not backed either by gold or silver,
not redeemable in anything whatever.
Can these be "sound money!" If so,
how come? Next we have the Federal
Reserve notes. Please, dear reader, do
not be confused by the similarity of
names for these various kinds Of notes
for the worst is yet to come. We have
national bank notes, Federal Reserve
notes and Federal reserve bank notes,
all somewhat different. Now while
these all appear very much as the
same thing, they are not in fact the
same. They mean different issues of
paper money, all "good" but issued in
various ways and really not backed by
any thing more substantial than
nerve. You are indeed led to be-
ieve that all your currency is properly
Backed but if you were to press the
treasury on this point they would
just back down. It is just not true.
But still, dear reader, you may quiet
your fears, because there is no harm
done to a living soul for every dollar
Of all these intricate issues is good
and properly 'backed" by the best
backing in this world and that is the
unshakeable strength Of your own
impregnable government that just
makes all this complicate system of
currency ego" just because that gov
eminent wants it to go and declares
that every dollar in circulation Of
whatever kind will buy just as much
for you on the market as will any
other dollar. Your Uncle Sameul does
not merely give out this as theory
but he delivers the goods at the coun-
ter. Can you doubt this evidence?

It seems to take the farmer an un-
warranted length of time to learn
that he himself must insist that un-
justified reductions in quotations on
his products can only be stopped by
the farmer himself. And perhaps the
administrators club, the boycott, is
the proper weapon to use in cases of
this kind. A two-bit drop in the price
of green asparagus this early in the
season certainly is unwarranted.
Somebody should be called to account
for robbing the grower Of such m
amount.
