RAIDS

The raids on your gasoline tax
money have gotten away to good
start. The General Assembly has vot-
ed to spend 100000 of it annually in
keeping up City Streets and it looks
like $1,630,000 is going to be diverted
to the General fund during each of
the coming years. 1t also appears
likely that some of the gasoline taxes
are going into county treasures be-
fore long in the form of paying the
counties for roads they built before
the highway commission had the
money. Better get your own road in
shape before the diversion party gets
any livelier.

SCHOOL BOOKS

State rental of school books by the
time the boys and girls hear the first
bells next fall is still likely. The
book companies are said to be realiz-
ing that fact and good authority says
that the publishers will be willing to
sell the books to the State on credit
and collect as the rentals come in.
Such plan would not call for an
amount of money large enough to
require bond issue and may be TAX
en- care of by an appropriation. The
Democrats are laying their plans to
rush the school book rental plan
through in hurry once they get
started. 1t will make good chaser as
the dear public begins to swallow the
three per cent general sales tax or a
milder retail levy.

ENTERTAINED AT TAVERN

On Tuesday night, April End, the
E. R. A. school of the Buffalo dis

Walter ]. Ray and Mrs. Howard Nor
phew at Buffalo Tavern. An elaborate
musicl program was rendered by the
Buffalo String Orchestra assisted by
Mrs. Ray at the piano, this orchestra
has an extensive repertoire which in
cludes most of the popular music of
the modern stage, and many of the
mountain songs, now so much in
vogue.
The assembly greatly enjoyed an
instrumental solo rendered by little
Miss Margaret Ruth Morphew and
Samuel Martin, as well as several
vocal numbers and group singing by
the band.
It was most creditable exhibition
of the musical culture which has de-
veloped in the Buffalo neighborhood,
and inspired the appreciation. and
local pride of all who enjoyed the
evening.
Parlor games were enjoyed by
young and old, and after a period Of
social interchange, the hostesses
served refreshments consisting of
layer cake and fruit gelatin.

4 MEN AND $50 GALLONS OF
WHISKEY TAKEN AT TRAPHIL

Investigators from the Federal al
cohol tax unit early Friday morning
stalked the home of Oliver Pruitt,
near Trap Hill, and made a raid net
ting four men and around $50 gllons
of liquor.
Pruitt and Bonom Triplett of Trap
Hill, Jack Gentry and Charlie Robin
son of Winston-Salem, were the four
men arrested. Liquor was being load
ed into a car occupied by Robinson
and Gentry when the arrest was
made, it is said.
In preliminary hearing held be-
fore J. w. Dula, U. S. Commissioner,
in Wilkesboro, bond for Pruitt was
set at $4,000, with $500 bond for
Triplett and $1,000 each for Gentry
and Robinson.

With friendly country to the
north, a friendly country having a
short frontier to- the south, an ocean
to the east and an ocean to the west,
the United States even in season of
war maintains a sense Of security.
That being true, peacetime sugges-
tions along the line of providing a
vast military and naval machine for
offense and defense are scrutinized
calmly and weighed and considered,
like any other piece of proposed
legislation. Germany has no similar
geographic protection against -inva-
sion. She is an exposed target into
which arrows may be shot from every
side. It should cause no wonder that
Mr.. Hitler's proposal to arm the
Fatherland produced a great German
shout of acclaim. Not all Germans
look upon Jews and fraternal orders
as a menace and the Chancellor has
offended in all directions respecting
religious matters. By invoking the
oldtime Watch on the Rhine spirit,
however, he has united Germany at
his back. Whether he acted as a pure
patriot or merely as a politician
masking his errors cannot be determ-
ined at present. One thing is certain.
He selected hymn that the entire
congregation gould sing.

NOW TO GET THE MONEY
TO THE PEOPLE

Now that the work relief bill is an
assured fact, it would be well for off,
Gals of the government to settle upon
a plan of spending that will get the
money to the place where they intend
it to go.
If their main purpose is to get
money into circulation, the old plan
may work all right, but if it is in
tended to get to the people who really
need it, some other road than the
one travelled in the past will have to
be Sought.
It is always a hard job to get any
charitable work done impartilly be-
cuse of human nature itself. Many
who are often in real need will not
apply for help because Of an inherent
pride that all self-respecting citizens
have of living off the public; others
feel that the government, the world
or somebody owes them living and
lions share, gained by fair means
or foul, is rightfully theirs. It Is this
situation that causes the. public to
thinls-therw ~business- is.one Of

SALES TAX EXEMPTIONS

In regard to the removing of the
nine basic exemptions from the sales
tax bill in the appropriations bill, we
are indeed "ruint".
We have been and still are sales
tax advocates for the reason that it
seems to be a fair tax as it strikes
all alike, but we have also been cham
pions of the exemption that allowed
the poor man to buy his bread and
butter without having to pay the tax.
Yet, instead of adding overalls, work
shoes, and the like to the exemptions
the bill had, we find all of them strik-
en- out.
It has been suggested to us by a
citizen of the county who studies such
; things that the extra money could
have been made up by sliding the tax
on automobiles upward from the lin
it Of ten dollars set. Of course the car
agencies would fight such a move,
but, after all, if we are going to pay
several hundred dollars for car a
few extra dollars will not deter us
and the money involved might great
ly relieve those who will have to pay
a tax on the food they are forced to
have for the meagrest of comfort.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1935-04-11

1t is estimated that the same
amount and volume of relief could be
furnished through a direct handout
for approx m ely $1,OOO,0OO,OOO
which will be accomplished with near
ly $5,OOO,OOO,OOO through work pro-
iects.
On the face of it and if nothing
else were to be considered, that would
seem, therefore, the preferable plan
hand the unemployed what they
need to subsist upon and require
nothing of them in the way of an ex-
change of their labors for equivalent
benefactions received.
But the President and his advisers
have turned down that proposition
and accepted the other.
Their line of reasoning is clear.
In the first place, public work will
have a stimulating effect upon the
durable goods industries which con-
tinue to show little sign of convale-
scence.
By planning elaborate systems of
public works, goods and materials
will be needed and great part of
the amount designated for this gen.
eral program will be spent in these
markets. That in itself is a reason
able plan for revival of the heavy
goods industries.
In the second place, the works re-
lief scheme has been adopted because
it offers superior social advantages as
against the other.
So long as the unemployed are able
to feel that they are putting back
into society through their labors the
equivalent of that they are taking
from society in the form of wages,
their self-reliance and self-esteem
are perpetuated and they are spared
from that attitude out of which pau
perization comes comes to society.
This is no silly sentimentalism. 1t
is very tangible and substantial
argument in favor of the works relief
plan.
England, of course, took the other
horn of the dilemma.
1t went for straight relief and its
public relief expenditures have been
therefore, far below those of this
country and London ends another fis-
cal year with around $35, 200, 900 as a
balance in its National treasury while
the public debt of America ascends
and tie deficit has run up to ~frightful
proportions.

LIQUOR

There can be no doubt that senti-
ment in favor of the Hill liquor bill
is growing among members of the
Legislature. It still appears doomed
but only few converts are needed to
put the measure across. Members
show decided notion not to cut the
appropriations bill drastically and if
these troubles over taxes are not set
tied pretty soon you are going to see
a great drive to put the Hill bill
through.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1935-04-11
LITTLE CHANGE

A private poll Of the Legislature
reveals that the batch of bills sent
down from Washington by Secretary
Ickes designated to put cities and
counties in the business Of generating
and selling power have little chance of
passage. Two measures, drawn by the
State Rural Identification Commits
sion, are much more modest and have
the backing Of the Ehringhaus adj
ministration. However, if they get by
it will be close squeeze.

He Paid Up

They were holding a church fair.
A young man who had the reputation
of being "near" strolled around the
stalls.
A pretty saleswoman approached
him.
won't you buy a cigarette hol-
der?" she asked.
"No thank you, don't SMOKE" was
the curt reply.
"Or box of candy?" she asked.
~ never eat sweets"
"Then a pretty pen wiper?" she
persisted.
81 don't write"
The young woman's patience was
exhausted.
"Leok here" she demanded. "Will
you buy box of soap?"
The young man paid up.

AMUSING

It's nothing short of funny the way
the various factions estimte the poss-
ible yield of the biennial revenue bill.
Anti-sales takers and advocates of
greater appropriations boost the fig
ures above those of the revenue de-
partment while sales tax three per
centers cut them down by like
amounts. If anybody really knows
how much the revenue bill will yield
the way the Legislature is almost
constantly changing it, that person is
a magician.

fraud and unfairness.

fraud and unfairness.
Another matter that might well be
looked into is that of salaries for
officials. Figures show that the last
allotment of relief money was spent
out in salaries for those who admin
istered the money to the people at a
rate not at all in keeping with the
amount that actually reached the
places it had started. Surely simpli-
fed method of administration could be
arrived at and about half of the pres
ent red tape done away with. It is
often a fact that a case worker has
so many records to keep that she
does not have time to visit her cases.
She is being paid to administed to the
needy-she is forced by the rules Of
the office to work instead at endless
records.
Some sort Of rule as to who is and
who is not eligible for employment
might also give cause for thought.
During the last big program Of public
works-the CWA-the rules allowed
any persons unemployed to be hired
at price high enough to make even
our prosperous men and women al
most fight for jobs originally intend
ed, we hope, for those who actually
needed work. In this county, there
are very few who could not call
themselves unemployed, even among
our best people. They do not have
paid jobs, but we like to feel that this
money is going to deserving men and
women who cannot make a decent liv-
ing without outside help.

TROUBLE

The biggest obstacle in the $685.
100000 biennial revenue bill is the
taxing peddlers. Representatives from
cities and town want to tax the boys
who buy and sell and transport in
trucks out Of existence while Repre-
sentatives from peach, apple and cab
bage growing sections want the tax
low SO the truck can operate and buy
their surplus products. You witlneveR.
