ment took $21, 600, 600, 0O0-24 1-2 per
cent of our demonstrating SCI, 0OO,-
100000 for US to spend.
In 1884, the national income had
dropped to 100000, OOO, 900, including
money borrowed by government
which must be repaid in the years to
come. The operating cost of govern
ment was $15,5OO, 100000, and inter-
est charges on government obliga-
lions were $5,00O,OoO,OOO. This total,
5OO,OO0,000, amounted to "a per
cent of our national income and left
us with $S9, 500, 5000 to spend for
the products and services which make
jobs and payrolls, and keep our farms
and factories going.
To sum up, the reservoir of income
actually available to our citizens
shrank from s61, ooo,ooo,OOO to $780,
5OO,OOO,OOO in four years-while the
cost of government rose $780,

During depression every industry
and every individual has been forced
to retrench, in order to make outgo
balance income. Government has pur.
sued a Numerically opposed course
it has raised it's expense during years
when the national income was stead
lily going down.
Here is one reason why the country
finds the road to recovery so hard.
Billions of dollars that would other
wise be used for productive purposes
are going into public treasuries-and
vast government borrowings make
the outlook for future tax relief dark.
These are facts that political efforts
to minimize the tax problem cannot
hide.

THE COLLAPSE OF THE NRA

When the Supreme Court ruled last
week that the MIRA was unconstitu-
tional, the majority of people felt
that wise and just decision had been
rendered.
We've had enough of the NRA for
the time being. It was a splendid
emergency measure, but under no cir
cumstances should it be thought of or
tolerated as permanent proposition.
The federal government has no
right to fix prices. To be perfectly
frank about it, the government has
been usurpng just little bit too
much power dring the last two years.
We don't need any permanent dicta-
torship over here. In times of stress
it is often essential that drastic steps
be taken, but under no circumstances
should those steps taken on the ma
ture of permanent policy.
The NRA has served it's purpose.
It brought about a realignment of
business and industrial affairs and it
helped drag us out Of the hole into
which we had dug ourselves. But,
after we get out of the hole, there's
no sense in permitting ourselves to
be dragged any farther; for by then
we ought to be able to move along
under our own power.
It is claimed in some quarters that
dissolution of the MIRA is going to
mean return to nefarious business
methods. Time to worry about that
when it actually happens. Personally
we don't believe it is going to hap
pen. Our opinion is that Capital and
Labor have too much sense to fight
each other at the present time. With
the proper spirit of cooperation-anc
that spirit has always been in evi
dence in North Carolina-everythi
will continue to move along smoothly
| If Business can't run itself in the
| United States without governmental
interference, then Business is in
bad way. Not only that, but in max
ing such an admission, we also woul,
be forced to admit that the true spiri
Of Americanism had completely van
ished. We don't believe that anybod,
wants to make any such admission.
/ And so we say again-we're glae
that the Supreme Court has ruled a.
it did. The MIRA was fine: it accom-
plished splendid purpose, but there
is no permanent place for it in tn,
affairs of this nation.-The State.

NORTH CAROLINA is ACTUALLY
ON WHEELS

A recent issue of the University of
North Carolina News Letter which
gives long list of facts and figures
concerning motor cars in this state
would show that North Carolina is
actually on wheels and that we have
gone mad over the subject of Great
ing good roads for those wheels to
run over.
The growth of motor transporta-
ton has been the outstanding devel-
opment of modern times. It is not
impossible, in fact it is highly prob
able, that North Carolina has led all
the states in the percent of it's in
come spent on motor transportation
during the last few years. We rank
much higher in the ownership of
motor cars than we rank in wealth
and income. We have led all the states
in state highway administrative ma
chinery. In terms of wealth and in
come we have probably led in high
way expenditures. We lead the states
in transporting children to CONSOLE
dated schools. We rank high among
the states in motor truck transporta-
ton, both passenger and freight.
According to the News Letter there
is probably no other factor that re-
fleets the states income, or the rela-
tive prosperity of the people, like the
registration of motor cars, particiu-
larly passenger cars. The high record
for motor car registration was for
the year 1929, the last year of the
period usually referred to as the
boom. That year there were register
ed in North Carolina nearly a half
million motor cars. The low record
for recent years was reached in 1892
which was the worst year financially
that the people of North Carolina
have experienced in recent history
In Ashe,. we find that there were
1,120 automobiles and 1876 trucks in
1929 while there were only 800 auto
mobiles registered in 1884 but there
was an increase of trucks to 375.
The depression taught us many
things and probably not the least
among them was that we can gel
on without a lot of luxuries that we
once thought were actual necessities

WHY. NOT NAME OUR
HIGHWAYS?

AS we gradually get better and bet
ter highways in Ashe, we might turn
toward the problem of naming them.
Not that a name will make a road
one whit better, but it does add to it's
dignity to have a name that carries
something Of history or sentiment.
It has been suggested that the road
from Jefferson to Trade might very
appropriately be called The Old Hic-
kory Highway since it is said to be
true that President Jackson traversed
this route on one or two occasions.
The road out through Lansing to the
Whitetop might, according to our
friend who suggested the first name,
be called the Willburn Waters Trail,
in memory Of that master-hunter
whose hair-raising escapades with
wild animals make interesting stories
for our grandfathers to tell US.
The Daniel Boone Trail, although
still young in years, is fast becoming
known over the state and over the
United States. The Black Bear Trail
is readily recognized.
A road without a name is some
thing like horse, a dog, or a town
without name-just a nondescript
something or other. Once it is named
and called by that name, it assumes
place in the order of things.

wave of cruelty is sweeping Brit
ain, and women are worse than
men. Parents are deliberately tor.
turing their children, and mis-
tresses are treating their domestic
servants like slaves.
And it is not in the poorer dis
tricts where the greatest cruelty
exists, but in the suburbs-home,
for the most part, of the fairly
well-to-do.
These charges are made in re-
port of the National Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill

cases of cruelty dealt with by the
society in 1934-825 more than in
the previous year. It shows that

Britain, 10000 child victims of
cruelty are investigated, at least
partially, by the society.

ARMY AIR BASE

The House Military Affairs
Committee today had under con-

modernization plan, recommended
by Chief of Staff General Doug
las Macarthur. It would include
expenditure of $11,000,000 for
construction of a new Army air
base at Hawaii.
General Macarthur believes a
large and modern Army air base
should be made available at
Hawaii in the event the newly
formed general headquarters air
force should be called upon to
make a mass formation flight
across the Pacific to defend
American possessions either in
the Hawaiian or Philippine Is
lands.
He believes the new GHQ air
force could make the flight and
prove of invaluable assistance in
defending those possessions if
adequate bases were made avail
able.
