NEWSPAPERS OPINION
CONGRESS AND THE BONUS

Congress tits its head when the American Lee
gion speaks and the American Legion knows it.
With President that was even half-hearted in
his opposition to paying the veterans what they
are demanding, Congress would hand it over to
them. 1t just that sensitive to political reactions.
But the veterans are going to have the fight of
their life to get anything out of the new Congress
so long as the President is standing up andtelling
them that they know not what they do in making
this request.
Strong as Mr.. Roosevelt is, as the election
proved, together with the upper hand he will hold
in Congress, means that the bonus advocates will
find Congress giving its best ear to the White
House instead of to the soldiers-Julian S. Miller

The Times-News has never heard that
Mr. Marston made any effort to conceal
the fact that he happens to be on friendly

there months before Mr.. Marston made his

and he is not trying to conceal the fact,
but we fail to see what that has to do
with his objections to having his Hender-

The fact is that outside of employees of
the local power company there is prob
ably not single citizen of Henderson
county who has any direct or indirect in
terest in the building of the Bent Creek
dam as an issue between IVA and the
power companies That is matter in
which Henderson county people are not
concerned The matter which concerns
them is the present and future welfare Of
their county and town and the progress
and prosperity of its citizens; and they
are examining and considering this dam
proposal from that standpoint.

Bilbo said before leaving his native

The man Bilbo also indicated to

REDIVIVUS OF BENT CREEK DAM
CONTROVERSY

In reference to a communication signed
by Mr.. C. l.. Stark and printed in yester-
days Times-News, this newspaper has
few words to say.
In this communication Mr.. Stark denies
that he gave an interview to the Associat-
ed Press in Knoxville, Tenn, last Friday
in connection with the effort to revive the
proposal to build the Bent Creek dam. Mr.
Stark says emphatically that he did not
make a statement to the Associated Press
or to the newspapers. The Times-News
accepts Mr.. Stark's statement at its full
face value. However, it is clear that some
body did give the Associated Press state
ment, as that great news gathering organ
ization does not follow the policy of ro-
mancing with the news. Mr.. Stark says
that he and Walter B. Smith were in Knox
vile to present a petition to G. A. Book OF
IVA. No other gentlemen, as far as is
known, from this section, were in Knox
vile at that time, so we are driven to the
conclusion that either Mr.. Smith or Mr..
Book gave the statement to the Associated
Press which was credited to Mr.. Stark.
So much for the Knoxville incident. The
only criticism we make of Mr.. Stark's COM
munication to this newspaper is as to that
part of it which seems to us to be an at
tempt on his part to muddy the water by
ringing in the local correspondent of The
Asheville Citizen and news article sup
piled by this correspondent to the Ashe-
vile paper.
The Times-News has no intention Of
fighting the battles of The Citizen CORE
spondent. We are confident the young
man can take care of himself-in fact, he
made a signed statement in yesterdays
paper that covers the ground-but this
newspaper will say that Mr.. Stark had no
reason whatever, as far as We know, when
he sent his communication to The Times
News to believe that figures given out in
Knoxville were obtained from The Ashe-
Vile Citizen. The Knoxville story stated
in so many plain words, inside quotation
marks, that Mr.. Stark was being quoted.
The Times-News is not particularly in
terested in who it was that gave out the
Associated Press story in Knoxville, but
the statement that 81 per cent of the peo-
pie of Henderson and Pennsylvania coun-
ties favor the building of the Bent Creek
dam is in absurd and reckless disregard
of the truth. So, also, is the statement
that citizens of this county who have con-
ferred with IVA officials in regard to this
project represent and are working for the
interests of the power companies.
The question of how many of our citi-
zens are on one side or the other of the
controversy is matter of opinion until
public opinion is more accurately ascer-
tanned, perhaps; but the assertion that
citizens who are interested in this pro-
posal and have conferred with IVA about
it, are working in the interest of the pow,
er companies is not open to question or
argument 1t is false.
AS The Times-News recalls few of the
citizens who have been sufficiently inter-
ested in this matter to visit Knoxville and
discuss the dam issues with IVA, we re-
member these gentlemen as being in the
number:
