Observations From
Washington
Repeal and Farm Relief

During the past week Congress
established a record for repeal leg.
islation. Acting upon the recon-.
mendation of President Roosevelt
the two houses, with negligible
opposition, repealed the Potato
Control Act, the Bankhead Cotton
Law, and the Kerr Tobacco Control
law. This action was made neces-
sary when the Supreme Court held
the AAA unconstitutional.
Secretary Wallace has transmit
ted to the Chairman of the Agri-
cultural Committees of the two
Houses of Congress a new agricul-
tural relief measure. 1t has not yet
been printed so 1 have not had an
opportunity to go over it but hope
to do so within the next few days
This Looks Feasible
I have received a plan for agri-
cultural relief from a friend living
near Sank Centre, who is a prac.
teal farmer. He suggests that the
government acquire in each town
ship one or two sections of agricul-
tural land which shall be planted
to trees and used for recreational
purposes. Under his plan he propos-
es to acquire enough land to do
away with farm SURPRISES in nor
NAL years.
I find that there are approx
imately three hundred sixty million
acres of cultivated farm land in the
United States. According to gov
eminent figures the surplus in ag-
ricultural commodities, over and
above that portion required for
domestic needs, is produced on
about forty-five million acres of
that area, which would indicate
that we have about that number of
acres in surplus. If 40 or As million
acres were required by the govern
ment and planted to trees, it would
do away with the surplus. It
should be possible to make the
plan self-supporting once the trees
attained marketable size. For
years we have recognized the nee
essity for reforestation to con-
serve moisture. am not so sure
that my Sank Centre friends plan
could not be put in successful OPP
Grafton. am giving it much
thought, and I would like to get
opinions from back home on the
proposal.

McDONALD'S ATTACK
To the Editor:

10 the GQllOI.
Whom the Gods would destroy
they first make mad" DR.. Ralph Nc
Donald is fighting mad, he jumped in
the mud hole several days ago and
has started throwing mud in all di-
rections with both hands. He is now
fighting a lost cause, with certain de-
feat staring him in the face. A few
days before the date of the first pri-
mary he paid a visit to Shelby the
home of Hon. Clyde r. Hoey and be-
fore large audience gave utterance
to one Of the finest tributes of respect
to Mr.. Hoey that any one has ex-
pressed since the campaign for gov
ernOr first started. On that memo
rable occasion he told his hearers
that Mr.. HOey was a fine man of I'M
impeachable integrity, now he has set
out to tear down Mr.. Hoey's charac-
ter and reputation by ruthless cam
paign of misrepresentation and SLAM
der. What has Mr.. Hoey done in the
short period of time which has elapS-
ed since DR.. Mcdonald paid him such
high tribute of respect to merit
such condemnation as DR.. Mcdonald
is now heaping upon his head? He
simply beat him to the goal in the
first primary.
Mr.. HOey certainly cannot be held
responsible for any mistakes made by
the State banking commissioner,
Quincy Hood. He certainly had moth
ing to do with his appointment in
the first place by Governor o. Max
Gardner, or his reappointment by
Governor Ehringhaus. Moreover, it
is reported that Mr. Hood supported
Sandy Graham in the first primary.
1t is impossible for any reasonable
man to see any connection between
Mr. Hoey's campaign and the record
of Mr. Hood
From the very beginning DR.. Nc
Donald has bottomed his campaign on
character assassination of Democra-
tic governors, past present and fu-
ture. He can see no good in O. Max
Gardeners splendid administration. he
denounces Governor Ehringhaus, the
best friend the farmers of the State
ever had, as q tool of Gardner and
the predatory interest. He character
ICES the future Governor Clyde r.
Hoey as a spineless puppet complete

Ehrlnghaus and the corporations.
Every sensible man and woman in

knew what force it is that seeks to
make him Governor. he could not be
elected. Mr.. Hoey knows that If he is
elected Governor the old unfortunate
poor who have nothing on earth, will
not be paid fifteen dollars per month
pension by the great State of North
Carolina. He knows his rich sponsors
would not stand for such humanl-
tartan act. What in the name OF
Heaven do his rich hackers care for
the poor and unfortunte. They care
nothing for the farmer and working
man who can yet fight why should
they care for those who are helpless?
MT. Hoey's manager is much inter-
ested in standing on the Democratic
platform just made some days ago in
Raleigh. 1 am glad he is, for his chief
should certainly prize it highly for
throughout it is just the same bull
and subterfuge that has characterized
all its predecessors and is the very
same stuff Clyde Hoey and his kind
use to further their nefarious ends in
North Carolina. The platform of our
dear old Democratic party this year
was nothing more or less than hash
or medley of words to initiate all
past platforms which to the lay mind
means nothing, but for the Demo
cratic Machine it means the farmers
and working folks will continue to
pay all the tax they can bear and the
few rich will continue to dwell In
Heaven in this world. Glass against
class, why not? Are the farmers and
working people of this State no better
than slaves? Are they supposed to
spend their lives in toll and abject
poverty and not complain? Put the
rich in the State for one month where
the other class has been always and
you would think Gabriel was blowing
his horn, such a noise would be made.

selves somewhat, on July 4th. viii
