Inc real reason why Congress never
does anything about the tax-exempt
issue is that is is generally under
stood on the inside that the New
Dealers are largely trying to sweeten
the Government bond market. BY
always threatening to abolish tax
exempts in the future, they make
existing Government bonds sweeter.
Furthermore, IL you dig deeply
into the upper crust OF the fiscal
strata here. you ,Dtl find that not
all the financial authorities of the
New Deal are convinced that q
constitutional amendment would
be good thing.
Heavy undercover dissension cropped
out at congressional meeting at
the White House when that subject
was mentioned lately. For one thing,
the effect on future Treasury financ-
ing is questionable. Many small
communities could not float bond is
sues under such conditions. If the
Federal Government can tax State
bond issues, 1t can run the States
themselves.
Also, the multi-millionaires issue
is at least partly ballyhoo, because
the rich bond holders pay a consid-
cradle tax in reduced interest rates
on such bonds.
Consequently. you may expect this
subject to remain in the bugle-talk
stage for long, long time.
Progressives Active.
The so-called Progressive group has
some Of the largest-lunged tooters on
the tax-exempt trumpet. They have
been demanding for years that some
thing be done. The other day they
had an opportunity to carry out their
idea. A proposal was made to permit
taxation Of bonds of the Tennessee
Valley Authority. Their howl against
it was the loudest.
No one has noticed it yet, but
Mr.. Roosevelt has st1orn of those
private little exchanges he INDUCED
in Dith friendly news men in the
front line at his press conferences.
The reason is that, q tep Ueeks
ago, some of the correspondents
began printing this persifage. The
President apparently iDas dstound-
ed to find in his morning paper
one day highly seasoned account
OF his observations about the reld-
the merits OF hdrdhedds (fsh)
and soreheads (politicians). That
ended that.
The secret Of the Lobby Committee
investigation was hardly secret.
The investigators were out for pub
licity only. They wanted to advertise
the sins of the utilities in q hurry.
No time could be wasted on legiti-
mate inquiry for the purposes Of
legislation. They had to smear the
power boys while Senator Wheeler
led up the utility bilD in order to
change congressional votes and public
opinion for Mr.. Roosevelt's inaccu-

vision. They got away with unusually
high-handed tactics because no Con-
gresham dared to protest. The in
defenSible activities of the worst OF
the current public utility sinners were
too much for most of the utilities
themselves to defend.

The fact is, most congressman have

A WORD OF WARNING

In a letter criticsing two bills before Congress
to amend tie agricultural adjustment act and give
the secretary of agriculture power to license pro-
cessors, with presidential approval, GuStavus r
Swift, president of Swift & Co., states that the
effect would be to permit a dictatorship without
parallel in the history of this country.
These bills would give the secretary of agrieu-
ture power to license meat packers, subject only
to the approval of the president, Mr. Swift said
and "any conditions could then be imposed which,
in the secretarys opinion would help to efectuate
the stated purpose of the farm act. | naddition
no one knows how much fairness would be shown
producers, professors and the consuming public.
''If secretary of agriculture should belong to
school of thought that regards all competition as
wastefu, he might undertake to do away with
competition in the meat and agricultural industries.
Sales quotas might be set up and even restricted
areas laid out where only one or few packers
could SELL
And it might be added to Mr. Swifts remarks,
that if secretary of agriculture should be capable
of unreasoning obsesson for but one side of
the producing and processing problem and should
be closer to the ear of the White House than those
opposing his views, there is no telling what might
happen to the unfavored who make their livings ii

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
POLITICS IN THE SCHOOLS

| Tho Record is of the opinion that the hare-up
on the floor of the House last week during the de-
hate over the public school budget which resulted
| in q Temporary break between DIR. Mcdonald, OF
FORSYTH county, and Superintendent of PUBIC i'll
struction Erwin, will serve a good purpose
Both supt Erwin and DR.. Mcdonald are friends
of the schools as every thinking person knows
However when the showdown came it looked Ike
the state superintendent somewhat tongue-ted,
and Immediately there the charge that ne hac
double-crossed the school teachers and was carry
ing water on both shoulders.
The Greensboro News today hits the nail square
" on the head when it suggests that the present
educational set-up in this state makes "double-tot-
ing obligatory.
As The News explains:
"Mr Erwin, although holding his position through
appointment by Governor Ehringhaus, is the titu-
lar head of the states school system elected under
normal procedure by the people for that express
purpose The position necessarily carries its re-
sponsibility to and for the of education.
There is no other official or recognized spokesman
for the schools and their personnel.
''But the practical situation is that the superin
tendent of public instruction has become, far sa
actual operation and direction of schools go, little
Martin and the state school commission run the
works. They pass on budgets, they fix allotments,
they WELD the axe, they determine policies The
final word, the directing hand is not in the state
department of education as such. There is even
question as to duality of powers; school powers
in North Carolina are concentrated. Obviously to
get anywhere the official who has the title, respon
sibility so far as expression of the electorate Is
concerned has to play ball with the COMMISSION;
his own cause and the school cause require IT.
No bureaucrat, even in his fOndest dreams, could
want a more complete political control of the pub
lie school system.
We can remember how before the local units
were shorn of their control of the schools there
was even honor among the poltically-minded as
everybody Joined in guaring against parltsanshp
or politics in the makeup of our school boards.
Now the surrender has been complete and I'M
der the arrangement at Raleigh the state superln-
tendent has about as much of actual say as hen
pecked man in his mother-n-aw's home.
Will somebody inform The Record what good
purpose from the standpoint of the public schools
is served by the purey-political state school COM

THE RHODES PAROLE

Of course lot of loose business methods and
carelessness involved in the banking situation
before the CLOSING season set in several years
ago. and some of good character were caught
IN dealings that, while not Intentionally criminal,
were in plain violation of the banking laws, even
though without intent. Among the bankers so
caught tried convicted and sent to the penitentaly
was Mack Rhodes, one of the most popular of the
citizens of Hendersonve. The courts at the time
dealt rather severely with bank law violators and
Rhodes got what might be called stretchable SEN
tence 1t was from to 16 years. Rhodes accepted
the situation with good grace and it was not long
until HendersOnville was appealing to Governor
Ehringhaus to extend clemency. Rhodes is now
released under parole and his welcome at home
will be of cordial kind nor will he lack for job
Brownlow jackson manifests confidence in the sta
bility OF Rhodes character to the extent of offer
ing him partnership in Jackson's business This
is one instance of granting of clemency that will
not bring criticism of adverse kind down on the
head OF the governor.-Charlotte Observer.

he had lived very quietly under
the influence of his mother and
his sisters. But after his marriage,
he began to get curious about the

he was stepping it off at a lively

Says Cross Sign
OF Reconciliation
With God; Peace
Rev. Moser Continues Pre-
Easter Messages at Meth
odist Church

Continuing a series of pre-Eas-
ter services which began Sunday
morning, the Rev. C. H. Moser
preached last night at the Meth
odist church on the subject,
"What Has the Cross Con-
Quered?", the text being from
John 1873. "To this end was the
Son of Man manifested that He
might destroy the works of the
devil"
The general theme of the SER
mon series is "The Cross" and
tonight the Rev. Mr.. Moser will
speak on the topic, "What is our
church for?" Special prayer ser
vices are being held at 7:45 each
evening Immediately preceding
the preaching service at 8 o'clock.
A large congregation was present
last night.
"The Cross" said the Rev. Mr..
Moser last night, "means recon-
citation with God, and this recon-
citation brings peace which man
is unable to find anywhere else.
In this life mankind must deal
with a common enemy variously
known as a dragon, or monstros-
ITO; a serpent, who is cunning; a
Saton, which means adversary;
devil, who is a slanderer, and ac-
cuser. Over this common enemy
the Cross, and the Cross alone, is
triumphant. And this victory of
the Cross shows US our place in
Gods kingdom, and brings salts
faction to the human soul.
"All men living, long for God"
the speaker continued. "They
may not recognize this longing or
they may refuse to admit it's ex-
istence, but it is present Just the
same. Wild parties in which drink
ing men and tipsy women attempt
to satisfy their appetites are moth
ing more in the final analysis than
the cries of hungry souls for the
bread of life. They do not under
stand this longing, and neither do
they recognize the fact that only
Jesus Christ crucified can satisfy.

luences alone will bring comfort

And every time he did it, his
wife's people threw double con-
niption fit. They demanded that
she leave him. They said that she
was besmirching her soul by stay
ing with him and was dishonoring
her sex. And that if she had the
least shred Of regard for herself
or for her family, she would chop
him off short. But she would on
ly smile and take him back again.
Then one day, he capped the
climax. He brought home a little
blue-eyed baby; told his wife it
was his-and all about it-and
asked her to take it.
At this, the clamor that arose
from his wife's family exceeded
by far any noise they had previ-
ously made. 1t was the lOudest
thing anybody ever listened to.
But again the wife with the
calm brown eyes set wide apart,
only smiled and took the baby.
And right there, psychological
ly. she must have brewed some
spiritual chemical which vulcaniz-
ed the soft rubber in that mans
backbone; for it suddenly stiffen-
ed and he Strengthened up.
He told his wife he was through
with moral delinquencies; that
henceforth he would make his life
a tribute to her graciousness and
her goodness.
He asked her to go to another
part of the world with him
where he had not made a fool of
himself-and make a brand-new
start.
They went. And he became all
the things she had wanted him to
be. Today they are supremacy
happy.
And at that she did not for
give him seventy times seven.

PEACE RESTS SECURELY ON WORLI
STABILITY
lRv BRUCE CATION

A sensible approach to the problem OF
world peace is produced by Secretary OF
State Hull in his recent warning that the
nations must unite in an economic program
to restore economic stability before the
threat of war can be averted.
We do not often stop to remember that
back of almost every war scare there IS
some profound maladjustment which en-
erts an uncomfortable pressure on a people
or group of peoples. Our disarmament
and security conferences almost uniformly
ignore that fact, and for that reason get
nowhere.
Secretary Hulls notion is that, if the
tangled economic situation can be un-
scrambled first, the attempt to build an
enduring peace will be a great deal
simpler.
"The necessity was never more appar-
ent," he says, "fOr the various countries or
. the world to give immediate attention 20
the matter of adopting sound and COM
. prehensive economic program, both domes-
tic and international, and carrying it for
ward, to the end that the normal processes
of domestic and international finance and
commerce may be restored and tens of mil
lions of unemployed wage earners may be
Unemployed.
This would afford a solid foundation on
which to rebuild stable peace and political
structures"
Too often we seem to take it for granted
that this or that nation adops warllke
course out of pure human cussedness.
We have been very vocal in condemnlng
Japan's course in Manchuria and China,
for instance and we have blamed it largely
on the militarism of an army and navy
clique which has managed to take control
of the government
What we forget is the simple fact that
Japan has faced the prospect of a trade
depression and a wave of unemployment
far more severe than the one through
which we have been passing.
The Japanese people become convinced
that only by gaining access to fresh terri
tories that would provide expanding mar
kets, and new sources of raw material
could they avert economic disaster.
That is what explains Japans warlike
course in recent years; and something sim
liar is behind almost every resurgence CT
the martial spirit.
Back of the armies and the navies there
are economic inequalities that drive nations
to the verge of desperation.
This being true, is there not a good deal
of sense in Secretary HulPs suggestion? If
the nations of the world devoted to the job
of regaining international economic stabil-
ity one-half of the effort they devote to
preparations to settle the instability by
force of arms, they ought to be able to go
long way toward working out an equita-
BILE solution.
The effort would at least seem to be we'll
worth making.
