ROOSEVELT DETERMINED TO
STAY OUT OF ARGUMENT
Hull Expresses Disapproval of Ma
ton that Refuses to Stand by
Signed Treaty

Germany was rebuked indirectly
Friday by Secretary Hull for her de-
fiance of the treaties limiting the
reich's ornaments.
The state department chief ex-
pressed disapproval of nations which
circumvent treaties but tvaided speci-
fic mention of Germany.
Hull's comment came not long aft
er the chairman of the senate foreign
relations committee, Senator Pitman
Democrat, Nevanda, had expressed a
personal opinion that "our govern
ment should not inject itself directly
or indirectly into the controversy
in Europe over the German move.
In this connection, a usually we'll
informed Washington figure who pre-
ferred that his name be not used, de-
scribed President Roosevelt as being
firmly determined to stay out of the
European argument and having no
present intention of sending any pro-
test notes to Berlin.

TEXAS CACTUS ON DISPLAY
IN SKYLAND POST WINDOW

Mr.. and Mrs. Tom McEwen and
Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Barker, who return
ed during the past week from Cali
fornia, brought the Skyland Post
some samples of the Texas cactus
that has been put on display in the
windows of the shop.
j. During the severe, drought, cattle
began to eat this cactus and it is
is said that they developed a sort of
taste for it. It was almost impossible
for them to eat it on account of the
prickles that grow on it, but starv-
ing cow is ready to try anything that
looks green so the farmers of the
section take blow torches and burn
the worst Of the prickles off.
The Skyland Post viii be glad for
anyone interested to examine the
specimen in the window. Even with
out tho "stickers", it looks like nigh
ty peer feed for cattle.

w. E.. ELLER BUSY WITH PLANS
TO FORWARD SOIL EROSION
Passage of Work Relief Bill Causes
Possibilities for Project to
Be Almost Certain

Prof. w. E. Eller, county chairman
of the committee that is seeking to
get soil erosion project allotted to
this county, is taking care to leave
no stone unturned in the effort that
is being made and it is felt that the
passage of the work relief bill would
almost assure the selection of this
country for the headquarters of such
an undertaking in the mountain Sec
ton.
Mr.. Eller has a petition signed by
several hundred -Ashe. farmers, who
are willing to lend their cooperation
in every way possible to the estab-
lishment Of an erosion project.
Such a project would call for the
establishing of &C Camp, which
would also be of Importance toward
helping in the progress of the county.
Mr.. Eller says that several more
camps are going to be allotted North
Carolina and there is a good chance
tht one might be located here.

FORCES HOPE
TO GET ASIE COUNTY IN IVA
COunld Be Included in Health Project
Amounting to Over $1,000
Per Annum

The educational forces in the coun-
ty cooperating with the State Board
of health are planning to back a
movement to bet Ashe included in at
least one of the IVA projects from
which it has been excluded on account
of geography.
1t has been found that by meeting
certain requirements, Ashe can par
ticipate in the health project that is
being put on by the government in
the IVA territory. It is estimated
that the benefits derived would be so
far reaching as to pass monetary
figures, and that the actual money
spent would amount to over $1,000.
The State Board of Health would pay
part of this and the government
would pay part, but the county
would be required to raise $14O0.4O.
1t is this amount that the schools
hope to try to raise, at least in part,
and to consult the County Commits
sioners as to the remainder.
A committee composed of Profess
sors Wade E. Eller, G. B. Price, and
A. B. Hurt have been appointed to
take the matter up with the commits
sioners on the next first Mond%y.
Such project would provide for a
full time county nurse and a full time
clerk, sixteen weeks of dental service
per year for school children, and a
part-time sanitary officer as well as
the services of the district supervisor
who would oversee the entire work.
The nurse and the sanitary officer
would be elected by the county board
of health which is at present compos-
ed of Drs. Dean Jones and B. E.
Reeves and Roger Barr,

HORSE CREEK HAS HEAVIEST
RAINFALL SEEN In YEARS
Saturday Afternoon Storms Amount
to ClOudburst in Many Sections
of Ashe County

From many sections of the county
come the reports that the storms of
Saturday afternoon turned out to be
regular cloud bursts. 1t is said that
it would take around two hundred
dollars to clear up the Norfolk and
Western tracks in the Tuckerdale sec
ton and that a cow was washed
against Mr.. Elijah fuckers dwelling
house with such force that she was
unable to get out of the whirlpool be-
fore she was drown. The daily train
failed to run Tuesday due to a dam
aged bridge in Taylor's Valley, the
result of Monday night storm.
Mr.. George Doggett said that he
took over sixty negroes from the
prison camp out Sunday afternoon to
repair washes on the Horse Creek
road which had made travel impossi-
BILE. Horse Creek was said to have
been the fullest it has been since
1916, and the hail stones that fell
there were enormous. Charles Stans-
berry is reported to have lost three
yearlings by drowning.
Mr.. Jess Gentry also had prisoners
at work in the Walnut Hill commun-
ity on roads that had been washed
away. Reports are that the river went
all over the G.. B. Price meadow in
front of the Price home at Clifton,
and the hail at Scottsville was said to
look like snow.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY LOOKS
ON EARLIER ADJOURNMENT
Revenue Bill Passes House With
Three Per Cent Sales Tax;
Goes to Senate

It had been predicted that the Gen
eral Assembly would not adjourn I'M
til May, or even after, but that was
before the $62,OOO,00O biennial reve-
nue. bill, containing the three per
cent exemptionless sales tax, was
passed in the house Tuesday and sent
to the senate. 1t is now thought that
an adjournment date will be reached
some time around the middle of
April.
Final house action, by a vote of
70 for and 26 against, not including
four pairs, marked a complete vic
tory for the Ehringhaus administra-
ton and an equally complete route of
the McDonald-Lumpkin anti-sales tax
forces in the lower branch.
The money bill will go to the sem
ate tomorrow. Lieutenant Governor
A. H. Graham said he would refer it
Immediately to the senate finance
committee where it is scheduled to
be held for two days to allow hear
ings on sections changed in the house.
Senate leaders anticipate further
fight to lower the sales tax rate to
two per cent or continue present ex-
emptions Of nine basis food articles.
These were the main issues in the
house.

PATMAN BONUS BILL PASSES
HOUSE WITH VOTE OF 218- 90
N. Carolina Delegation Split on Vote;
Doughton More Favorable To-
ward VinsOn Bill
/ MAJOR BATTLES PENDING

..slTIs Fstman bonus bill passed the
House in Washington Friday after
non by a vote. of 318 to 80. What
course the Senate will take on the
bill is still in doubt, and President
Roosevelt has expressed his opposi-
ton to paying the bonus now on the
ground that it would interfere with
his recovery program and at the same
time give the soldiers something they
were not due to receive until 1884.
Despite knowledge of the Presi-
dents position, the house went right
ahead. When it met, it's first vote was
on motion to substitute the Vinson
bill, which would use the orthodox
appropriation method of paying the
bonus, .for the Patman bill, with it's
requirements for the issuance of
$4,000, zoo, 900 in new currency.
Of course the bonus bill faces an
uncertain future in the senate, but
the action of the house goes hard
both with the administration and the
American legion. The Veterans of
Foreign Wars supported the Patman
- bill, wherefore there is going to be a
contribution to the prestige of that
organization. While it has been de-
MED that the Patman bill necessarily
suggests infationary implications, it
is certain that it commanded the sup
port of all those who think that a
measure of currency expansion would
relieve present depression conditions
Of the state delegation Messrs.
Hancock, Weaver and Kerr voted for
the Patman bill, other members OF
the delegation voted for the Vinson
bill, while Messrs. Doughton and
Lambeth were numbered among the
80 members who held out against the
Patman bill to the last.
Messrs. Doughton and Lambeth ex-
planned their vote against final pas
sage of the bonus bill by stating that
they were opposed to interference
with the currency, and that the Pat
man plan would bring imitation. Mr..
Doughton said he was confident the
President would veto the Patman
measure, and he thought the Vinson
bill would have : better chance of
passage.
Representative Lambth issued the
following statement in explanation of
his vote, and it is practically the
same position taken by Representa-
tive Doughton:
During the campaign last fall
stated that would vote for payment
of. the adjusted service certificates
only if it could be accomplished
without tinkering with the currency.
In line with that position T voted for
the Vinson bill which provided for
payment in the same way that all
other government obligations are
met. voted against the Patman bill
because / am opposed to starting up
the printing presses to pay govern
ment obligations, however meritious
they may be, and embarking upon a
ruinous policy of imitation. Between
voting for payment Of the bonus and
against initiation, had to choose the
latter course because to my mind this
policy means disaster to the veterans
as we'll as to the nation"
Indications are that the four ma
jor battles confronting the admins
tration are over NRA, the social Sc
curity program, cash payment of the
bonus and the utility holding COM
pany measure.

veto and directional power over ac-
tions of the Board of Education was
expressed in a resolution adopted at

In taking this stand, the association
said it felt the board had proved COM

matters in past years and change
would bring about disruption in a
smooth-running system.

carried on by the newspapers against
the numbers racket, assailed by the
association as "one Of the greatest
evils that has struck our city In the
past few years" The association ex-
pressed a willingness to Tend a
