Project Workers Must
Earn Their Wages

The Minnesota SERA through an
official order from Walter F. Mac
Gregor, director of the work division,
has laid down the ultimarum Jnat
persons employed on work relief
projects must render efficient service
or invite permanent removal from
work relief payrolls.
Project supervisors have authority
to enforce this penalty, with due re-
gard to me physical condition of the
worker concerned. If a worker dis
plays a pronounced unwillingness TO
perform labor assigned to him, he
may be designated as "unemploy-
able" and placed on direct relief per-
manently, subject to reversal by a
special committee of review. This
committee comprises the local super
visors for work and social service,
and the accounting and disbursing
officer. A relief client who wishes
his status changed from ''unemploy-
able" to ''employable" may appeal /:
this committee and in case of dis
agreement, to the state work divi-
sion.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
BACK TO THE FARM

When hunger stalks the land and misery lifts its
ugly head "a bit of rhetoric, that, preserved from
the Hoover administrator, it is natural to LOOK
for an exodus back to the soil in those states where
agriculture long had predomnated as the means OF
obtaining sustenance. And there has been, as Tie
current issue of The University News Letter shows,
q considerable return to the farm Since 1880 the
nations farm population has increased by $780,
OOO but strange to say the greatest percentage of
increase has been not in the Southeastern states,
where idle land is plentiful, but in the Northeastern
states.
Mississippi and Georgia, for example, have fewer
farms in operation now than they had in 1880. II
Connecticut, at the other extremity, the fiveyeac
gain in the number of farms 81 per cent In
North Carolina it was TO per cent, and in South
Carolina less than that.
Conclusions to be drawn from this anomalous
staying away from the farms in farming region
are varied. Professor Hobbs suggests that the
Southeast, which never became highly Industrial
lied like the Northeast, was not compelled to re-
absorb so many who had deserted the pow for the
machine. Another possible Interpretation is that
our own Southeasterners had rather eat sparngIy
Oh relief. as countless thousands of them are than
to return to the country and go through the ardn-
Gus business of making living as their fathers
made it-Charlotte News

ing or attacking Dr. Mcdonald or the sales
ltax, but for the purpose OF saying that ao-
vocaey of the sales tax or opposition &c
that tax is not alone a sufficient reason fcl
taking stand for or against the candidacy
of DR.. Mcdonald.
| Nowadays too many candidates Tor pup
lie office seize an issue like the sales taN'
and either by advocacy OF opposition, seek
n ride if into official station. If Dr.. Nc
Donald is nothing more than political
Ionnortunist, seeking to capitalize what he
| imagines to be the Statewide unpopularity
of the sales tax for the sole purpose of OBJ
tanning the governorship, he should not be
elected, as he does not deserve election on
that issue alone.
The Times-News agrees with the Mar
shall News-Record that DR.. Mcdonald and
others have probably over-estimated the
unpopularity of the sales tax and will dis
as it may, if the Winston-Salem candidate
has nothing to offer North Carolnians ex-
cept opposition to this tax, he is not the
man needed in the office of Governor.
The sales tax is only one issue before the
people. There are many other problems
and questions of government, and the Gov
ernor should be man familiar with all
and prepared to meet all the issues and to-
act intelligently in reaching decisions. The
man who is obsessed by approval of or op-
position to any one issue, lacks, some of the
essential qualifications of a first class chief
executive. .. ........
The voters should fight shy of all candi-
dates who are trying to ride hobbies into
office; or who are trying to capitalize pub
lie sentiment on any one issue for success
at the polls. Perhaps Dir. Mcdonald is not
guilty on this charge-we hope that is true
but we only hear of him in connection
with his fight on the sales tax and that
readily leads to the conclusion that he IS
over-working this issue in the effort to cap
ture the governorship.

THE MONEY PARTY

An upcountry newspaper declares that the Amer
leans will stand by Roosevelt next year. That may
be so. As long as the money is plentiful and the
offices are plentiful the greatest federal political
machine that has existed in the United States
will run smoothly and the rounding up of the voters
will proceed.
Were the number of persons on the payrolls in
South Carolina reduced to the figure that it was IN
January 1922, the Roosevelt strength would in
stantly collapse despite the subsidies the gifts and
the prospective gifts
Ninety per cent of the Roosevelt strength II:
South Carolina is in the distribution in one way
or another of the money of the taxpayers in the
federal treasury, and what is true of South Caro-
lima is true of the United States.
Stop the flow of the Roosevelt money and there
would be no Roosevelt NATURALIZATION News

GOVERNMENT SPENDING IN NORTH
CAROLINA

Saws DR.. Julian Miller in his personal
column in The Charlotte Observer:
At the beginning, they talking of North
Cardinals share Of the Federal WPA funds IN
terms of multiple milons-$10O 100000, then
$50 900, 900 and the minimum popularity though
of was $5G,OOO,OOO.
Word now comes from Washington with
whisper of inality about it that the states snare
will be q bit better than SS,OOO,OOO.
And the howl is reverberant.
State Administrator Coan refuses to accept
Washington's latest dictum as the last word.
Senator Bailey is sure the amount will run to
nearly $2O,OOO,OOO and has promised to throw
himself into the breach.
His presence and active labors in behalf OF the
state in this regard are sorely needed if things
are to turn out better.
And now that Senator Reynolds is through
with his running around, perhaps he might say
word for his state.
If North Carolina is going to have to pay back
its share of the total of $4,000, 100000 when set
ting time comes, it may as well keep both hands
held out and both senatorial tongues a-going III
the faces of the spending soons.
DR.. Miller's estimate of the size of the
slice of cake Washington will cut for North
Carolina is probably correct. 1t has been
estimated as low as three or four million
dollars in some quarters not interested in
minimizing the amount.
However, Dr. Miller, or other NORTH
Carolina DIRECTORS to the manner OF dlstrl
button of five billions of the money of the
tax payers, ought to remember that the
view of the political manipulators is thai
it will require only little money to hold
North Carolina in line in the 1886 election
The billions are sorely needed in a number
of doubtful States. The amount which will
be apportioned to North Carolina will be
concrete evidence of the fact that Roose-
anchored, now and for the next twelve
months.
In this connection, however, the people
of North Carolina might make a note Of
the fact that this States proportion of the
five billion dollars-when paying time rolls
around-will be a sum equal to OF larger
than the present State debt of North Caro-,
lima; and that. North Cardinals share OF
the present total national debt will be a
sum five or six times as large as the State
debt The States debt is considered by
some citizens as great burden What dc
these citizens think about being soaked fol
five to six times this amount for the States
part of the national debt?

despite the fact that vets have always commended
that folks didn't want to drink liquor; they just
wanted to have it convenient in case they did want
to drink it. Liquor will eventually get the man
