FEDERAL COURT CONVENED IN
,WILKESBORQ MON. MORNING
Judge ]. J. Hayes Delivers Charge to
ury that Will Try Ashe, Wilkes,
Allegheny, Watauga Cases

Spring term of middle North Caro-.
lima district court for trial of cases
originating in Wilkes, Allegheny
Ashe and Watauga counties convened
in Wilkesboro Monday morning with
Judge Johnson J. Hayes j. Hayes
presiding. Due to the large number
attending court on opening day the
county court building is being used.
Judge Hayes delivered a most in.
teresting and instructive charge te
the grand jury this morning. After
reviewing their duties as grand jurors
he explained number of federal
laws, especially the postal laws, the
laws against carrying stolen automo-
biles from one state to another, and
thes laws against the manufacture
possession, transportation and sale of
liquor on which taxes have not been
paid. He. also called attention to the
narcotic act.
The the jurist discussed some of
the late federal laws and especially
the national recovery act and the
kerr-Smith tobacco act. He pointed
out that it is asserted that the laws
are constitutional because of the
power vested in congress to regulate
interstate commerce and on the other
hand that lit is contended that the
laws do not, deal entirely with inter-
state commerce.
In regard to the liquor question he
referred to the fickleness of people
and their likelihood of changing
views within short time. He review
ed several epochs in history that col
Elaborated his opinion.
In discussing the welfare of the
country and it's possible future he
spoke of the tendency for city life
and city people to dominate and said
that he feared the day, if such day
should come, when the people of the
cities will control the country.
He stated, in effect, that he doubt
ed the ability of man to legislate
prosperity and his belief that the re-
ligious fundamentals of the people
who settled this country were re-
~sponsible for the nations growth and
progress.
This term of court will continue
through this week and perhaps into
next week. District Attorney Carlisle
Higgins, of Sparta, will prosecute the
docket.
Cases from Allegheny, Ashe and
Watauga counties will be tried first,
it is understood, for the convenience
of court attendants.
Although the majority of the cases
on the docket are for violation of the
revenue laws, there are some cases
in which violation of the auto theft
laws, postal laws, and narcotic act
are charged.-The Journal-Patriot.

NOC even CnOSe VINO Will super
wise spending the money have
known, except in very broad
way, what program lies ahead.
What makes this so incompre-
hensible is that the bill was de-
bated for three months. When it
was sent to Capitol Hill in Jan
uary the House was asked to rush
it through Immediately. 1t was
presumed that the Administration
knew, down to the last detail, how
is would use the money. Admin
istration leaders were pictured as
chatting at the bit waiting to get
under way.
The House passed the bill in
record time. But the Senate was
slower. 1t asked questions regard
ing categories of expenditures. Adj
ministrative spokesman looked
wise, but were vague. 1t was in
Dictated that the President could
not be embarrassed by showing
his hand.
For three months the debate
continued. During this time
Roosevelt went South to fish.
Harry Hopkins, slated to be one
of the big spenders of the money,
went with him. Presumably they
perfected plans for the huge
spending program.
II It
EINALLY came passage of the
Il bill. Then a period of waiting.
There were various consultations
at the White House. Then more
waiting.
1t became known that chief
spenders of the money would be
PWA Administrator Ickes, FERA
Administrator Hopkins, Rural Re-
builder Tugwell and Treasury
Watchdog Admiral Peoples. But,
even they We're in the dark re-
garding the plan of expenditure.
Harry Hopkins proposed a sort
of revamped and glorified system
of CWA. His FERA remained
partially idle all winter waiting for
Congress to appropriate. The bill
was signed. Days passed. Harry'S
face got longer and longer. No
detailed word came as to what he
was to do.
Ickes' PWA also waited. He
recommended a tremendous ex-
pansion of public works as the best
means of spending the money.
his organization marked time.
MEANWHILE Rex Tugwel
1V1 struggled with that highly
important problem Jumped under
the all-embracing title, Rural
Rehabilitation" 1t includes rural
housing, rural identification, soil
erosion and subsistence home
Steads. But while the Senate de-
bated, little was done about them.
Some one took the figure $780,
100000 and threw it under Rural
Identification" But aside from
reports by the Federal Power
Commission no one made any
real study of this highly impor-
tant expenditure.
Chief difficulty behind all this
has been lack of coordination,
lack of word from the White
House.
Chiefly discouraged are those
who will spend the money. They
figure that the machinery of ex-
penditure will not get going at
high speed for months. Political
ly, that may be good thing. 1t
may give just the right touch for
a Roosevelt reelection.
But between now and 1886 there
may be some bad backfiring.
