HIGHWAYS IN THE MOUNTAINS

The mountains of Western North Carolina have
been tanned by the automobile, signs the man who
would have the hills and the valleys as they were
Indeed the automotive vehicle has altered the lace
of the mountains. ..
In the horse-and-buggy days "when the creek Is
not in the road the road is in the creek and when
the creek was in the road, there was little inter-
course among neighbors on opposite Sides Inc
builders of motor highways have lifted the roads
ont. of the creek and placed them where freshet
waters will not flood them.
The motorist who travels from HendersonVllle To
the Etowah side of Bowman's Bluff in less than
half hour does not take in that if pair of horses
covered the distance in an hour and forty-hve NM
utes their driver was considered Jehu. If several
creeks were in spate the driver and his horses had
to wait until the water subsidized. 49,.
The counties in Western North Carolina have
been given network of excellent highways There
is no doubt about that. Most of them are all
weather highways. A driver need not inquire
whether water is high at Hamiltons mall on the
Little river nor whether the river can be fordet
below High Falls.
The beauty of the mountains is less, for modern
highways and power transmission lines make ugly
scars on the hillsides (The worst of them is les
hideous than the rustng skeleton of the untinishel
hotel on the summit of Shipman's or Jump-off)
Highways in the mountains make for comfort anc
convenience, but it cannot be argued that they
make for beauty comparable to the untamed cond
tons in the horse-and-h buggy days.-Charlestor

Association of Manufacturers in New York. Inc
people of this country "think they should nave d

is TO make a choice between industry and politics
as to the easiest method of achieving all of these
benefits
Bruce Barton at bottom is advising. American
business to do what the politicians try to do-carry
their case to the public. There is much to be SAID
for business and industry. By and large, business
and industry probably freer of faults than poll
tics is. In Washington politicians are spending the
people's money to support propaganda agencies.
The politicians enjoy an advantage also in having
the privilege of sending their bulletins and reports

public has to pay. '
Politics latterv has been ntoerant of resistance.
When the business man states his case IN PLAN
language, he is likely to be called names Politics
cannot stand fire. 1t hides as much as it can when
it comes to telling the people exactly where Their

MR.. TUGWELL's DEPARTMENT

The New York Times, in special article from
Washington, reveals that the Rural Resettlement
Administration, presided over by Professor Rex
Tugwell, is now employing an administrative force
more than twice as large as the number ,of relief
workers hired to date. The Times investigation
also shows that the amount paid to this directing
staff is about five times as great as the sum paid
relief workers.
Checking up on the growth of bureaucracy in
Washington, The Times said of the brain trust
heads department:
"Officials found that Administrator Tugwe has
hired 1903 persons to provide jobs for only 5,072
relief workers. The salaries of the administrative
staff, spread out in eighteen Washington buildings
and the field, total $1,75O,OOO monthly, as com,
pared to about 100000 paid to relief workers
'tThis staff, in addition to having 104 automotiye
units taken over from other government agencies
has bought eight passenger cars all but one of tha
more expensive type, for use in Washington, in ad
dition to four station wagons twelve trucks, ant
one motorcycle" 60. 49,: ..-.
The ways of the brain trust are indeed fearful
and wonderful, and it such facts as recited here
which are going to be taken into consideration b!

them by efficient, practical man, instead of tn
