DOUGHTON'S PRAISE FOR SOCIAL.
SECURITYRESOUNDS OVER STATE
New York Speaker Makes Powerful
Address Before House Com
Commencing DOughtOn

Leading daily newspapers have fea-
tured and have then editorialized on
the merited prise given the ninth
district congressman, Hon. r. L.
Doughton, last week in the House of
Representatives for his sponsorship
of the administrations social security
measure.
Out standing praise was that given
Mr.. Doughton in powerful address
before the house by DR.. w. J. Siro-
vich, of New York City. The follow
ing is a part of the speech:
Every civilized nation on the face
of the world has some form of old
age pensions with the exception of
China. India and the United States.
Shall the United States, the richest,
the greatest and the most prosperous
nation in the world, march arm in
arm with medieval China or India, or
shall it take it's place in the forefront
of the great nation sof the world bat
ting for social justice to our for
gotten old fathers and mothers.
"Mr. Speaker, sooner or later the
curtain of life will fall upon our
earthly career. A little shaft will
commemorate our humble memories.
Let me sincerely hope and trust that
in the far distant future when that
time comes, that somewhere in Ale
ghany county, North Carolina, on
such a modest shaft will be inscribed
the sentiment: Here lies Robert
Doughton, chairman of the ways and
means committee of the 74th Con-
gress, father and sponsor of federal
old-age Observation-Disclosures, Sc
curity-child welfare and health and
maternity protection for the people
Of the United States
"Bob Doughton, may the prayers
of a grateful American public bring
to you and your loved ones happiness
in your heart, contenment in your
mind, for having fathered and spon-
sored such inspiring an humane legis-
lation, that will be an inspiration to
others while you live, and monu-
ment to your memory, as well as our
great humane President, Franklin
Delano Roosevelt, long after the rest
of your colleagues shall all be for
gotten in the ashes of time"

Office Still Open

The relief office at West Jefferson
has orders to stop all relief work in
the county until further notified ac-
cording to the local director, w. B.
Oliver. The five million-dollar work
relief bill that has just passed in Con-
gress carries with it a requirement
that the states must furnish certain
amount of money before they can
participate in the allotments. The
course this state will take is not
known but it is possible that it will
leave it up to the counties.
The local office is stille open and
case workers are going about their
regular duties.

EARLY CONSTRUCTION OF SCENIC
PARKWAY NOW A PROBABILITY
Route Tagged Past Blowing Rock;
Work Will Start simultaneously
at Several Points on Route

Pick, shovels and machines manned
by hundreds of men soon will begin
actual construction work on the Shen-
andoah-Smoky Mountains national
parkway simultaneously at several
points along the route, advices from
Washington indicate.
The location work is progressing at
satisfactory rate, and passage of
the huge work relief bill assured suf-
ficient funds for the gigntic enter
prise, it is pointed out. The surveyors
are in the Blowing Rock vicinity at
present.
At approximately the same time,
construction work is to start at sew
eral points. In North Carolina, near
Mount Airy and continuing from the
state line to- Airbellows Gap on the
Blue Ridge between Wilkes and Allie
ghany counties, the route is practi-
cally ready for construction.
Little difficulty has been expert
enced in securing the right-of-way
in the sparsely-settled mountains
through which the parkway will pass,
but some obstacles have been found
in getting the right-of-way through
small towns and settlements, it is
said.
According to information received
by parkway enthusiasts, practically
all property owners along the route
from Roaring Gap to Deep Gap have
signed right-of-way papers.
The route as tagged by engineers
will traverse the main formation of
the Blue Ridge in Allegheny, Wilkes,
Ashe and Watauga counties to Blow
ing Rock and will be unequalled for
panoramic scenery. From vantage
points along the route the traveller
will be able to gaze far into Piedmont
North Carolina.
Plans are to develop the Blue Ridge
section as paradise for tourists, and
one chief object is the establishment
of a Rendezvous state park near
Purlear, in Wilkes county. The his
toric Rendezvous is a peak in the
Blue Ridge foothills and will be less
than 10 miles from the scenic park
way if it is constructed along the
tagged route.

Legislature Needs
More than 6ODays
Named on Important Committee to
Virtually Re-Write Revenue Bill
for Both Houses at Raleigh

Reasons why the General Assembly
has far outstayed it's constitutional
60 days in Raleigh were forcefully
explained recently by Representative
Bowie of Ashe, as both houses met in
brief, informal sessions at the Capitol
Monday.
Taking the list of House commit
tees one by one the representative
from Ashe explained that practically
every bill introduced must be refer
red to one or another of these COM
mittees.
"The most important times" he de-
clared, care when this body is not in
session. These committees must give
every bill the consideration due it,
and with the present organization of
social and civic conditions it will new
err be possible again to adjourn this
General Assembly in 60 days."
Judge Bowie has been distinctly
honored during the past week by be-
ing appointed on the general assem-
bly's conference committee, made up
of five representatives and three SEN
ators, began work Tuesday at 8
o'clock on a badly mutilated revenue
bill, estimated to be short of appro-
priations voted by the house by ia
least $5,853, 900 for the biennium.
The conferees who will virtually
write the revenue bill out of hope
less disagreement between house and
senate on its principal provisions are:
Gregg Cherry, who is house finance
chairman; Senator Harris Newman,
who is senate finance chairman; Rep
resentatives Harris, Tam Bowie, w.
L. Lumpkin and H. G. Horton; Sena-
tors Fred Folger and Carl Bailey.
The senate once more reversed it.
self Tuesday by placing back the ex-
emptions under the sales tax on mo-
lasses, meat and the seven other basic
food articles as provided for in the
present law in place of the Weathers
compromise amendment, adopted last
Friday afternoon and included in the
bill when it passed it's second reading
on Saturday. This compro S
amendment allowed for exemption
from the sales tax on only five foods,
fatback, milk, lard, meal and flour.
The senate also struck out Of the
sales tax this afternoon the levy on
hotel and tourist home room rentals.
In all considerably more than $2,OO0,-
900 in tax money was stripped from
the measure before it was ordered
sent to conference.
