THE ZUIDER ZEE

The United States government has been spend
ing large sums of money for the construction Of
dams on streams in the Northwest, the West and
in the Tennessee Valley The Roosevelt Dam, COM
plsted in 1910, in Arizona was the first Of these
reclamation enterprises financed by the govern
ment Boulder Dam, completed last year, was sec
ond Now similar projects are underway in the
Northwest and in the Tennessee Valley.
These projects contemplate the inpounding of
water for power and irrigation as did the large
dams in Egypt, India and Russia In Holland how
ever, great dam has been constructed, at cost
of eighty million dollars, which was planned not
to use water but to drain large area under the
zuider Zee and add ten per cent to the arabic land
of the country.
This Barring Dam is 20 miles long, 400 feet
wide and is expected, when all drainage projects
are completed, to restore approximately $4,000
acres of rich soil to the Dutch farmers. Fifty
thousand acres have been reclaimed and are under
cultivation and bids viii be received April 80, for
the drainage of 10000 acres additional. The
work will be completed in five years and then the
great task of draining 100000 acres will be under
taken. ''.> 49,. ~ ....r
Dam engineers and contractors are doing almost
unbelievable things in the United States to con-

THE PIPER MUST BE PAID

Every now and then some foolish person or paper
gieefaily complies statistics as to how much money
Uncle Sam has spent or agreed to spend in South
Carolina under the New Deal One OF the latest
compilations shows something like S2SO,O00,O0o.
ANY one who glorifies that federal spending IN
South Carolina has not carefully thought out what
it will mean in the long run
If the South Carolina legislature had raised that
much money BY state bonds to be spent in the same
way, anybody outside of mad men and idiots IN the
state asylum would know that South Carolina would
be financially ruined thereby. Yet men classed as
good citizens and reputedy possessed of good sense
approve that extravagant federal spending, not
seeming to realize that South CAROLINA must just
as truly foot the bill as the money had been ras-
ed by state bonds. Worse than that. South Car
DINA will not only have to foot the taxes whereby
that 230,000OOO and the interest on the bonds
with which it was obtained will be repaid but will
have to pay taxes to help repay what the federal
government is spending in other states which have
been favored by the national administration with
expenditures within them of sums much larger
than expended in South Carolina population and
taxpaying being considered. : '''
One of the evils of the deal that our south
crn senators ard congressman have not attacked Is
that WPA workers in northern states are paid two
to three times as much workers in southern
states, but the southern states have to pay taxes
at the same rate as those states in which WPA
workers are paid SO much more-Greenville OBJ

Editor, The Times-News:
After reading the article i'll
your paper Of 9th issue on page

that DR.. Ralph Mcdonald has been
criticized because he was not born
in this state, would say that this
is the poorest excuse | have ever
heard. 1t must have been some
iof the Shelby Charlotte-Raleigh
machine ring that started this
criticism. Now, Mr.. Editor, the
time has come that voters, espe-
cially the farmers, must go to the
ballot boxes and vote for men
outside of the ring. You should
advise every reader of your paper
to go to the primary and vote for
Dr.. Ralph Mcdonald and not to
listen to the ring and nominate
the wrong man as we did the last
governors election.
Go to work, MI. Editor, and
have Mcdonald elected. We must
quit electing any one out OF the
, ring that after they are elected
they forget the farmers that elect
ed them and get in behind the
tobacco trust, letting the tobacco
farmer suffer.
We want man that will ad-
wise the general assembly to make
laws for the farmer, abolish the
sales tax, cut the salaries of the
school boards down (and state Of
ficials' salaries are double what
they ought to be-, and pass a
law to limit doctors and lawyers
charges and raise the income tax
on the tobacco and cotton million
aires and pass al ONCE an old
age pension law.
All the old people in this state
have been taxed with tariff from
the sole of their foot TO the top
of their head ever since the last
Civil war that has protected the
factory men to get rich. Now is
the time for them to be taxed to
help all these old people to live;
Put the income tax on them and
pass pension law, and, to get
this done, vote for Mcdonald
everybody.
We should not make such a
mistake this time in getting the
right man for governor. Mr.: Ed

GERMAN TYRANNY PUTS
HEROES IN HIGH LIGHT
Rv BRUCE CATION

The one redeeming featureOf any tyranny
is that it throws old-fashioned courage IN
10 high relief. 1t beats down and destroys
many of the things that make civilization
worth keeping, but it does stir up plenty
of plain, unadorned heroism.
Cables from Germany recently illus
trate the point abundantly.
First, there is the case of Dr., Hugo Eeke-
ner. .,. ....ssa IS. .~
DR.. Eckener is flying the great alrshlp
Hindenburg to new triumphs, just he did
with the Graf Zeppelin in years past. His
name is appearing in the newspapers
everywhere-but very little in his: own
Germany. .-. fss~E,-sc a. "a> .
For DR.. Eckener doesn't like the Hitler
government and he does not, care who
knows it, When the farcical election, was
held not long ago, DR.: Eekner refused
point-blank to get out and stir UP enthu-
siaSm for the government. In revenge, the
government is giving him the silent treat
ment. .-..,.. ni.y o.,e.sn .,.~.-.~s.
If it were not for the fact that no one ON
earth can make airships jump through
the hoop the way DR.. Eckner can, he would
be looking for new job right now. As it
is, the Germans don't dare fire him. They
will persecute him., however, and if they
ever develop anyone who can take his
place, they will bounce the veteran out OF
there in jig time. J,-.11
DR.. Eekener'S attitude isia thing to win
the admiral ion of everyone who likes cour-
age. But he does not, after alb stand alone.
Some thousands of German wefkmea re-
fused to get out and vote ashley were
told to do; and the mighty Hitler govern
ment has been taking it's revenge son them
as it dared not take it on DIR. Eckner.
Storm troopers have been making the
rounds of the shops and factories with lists
of non-vetefs, and the non-voters are being
fired from their jobs just as fast as the au-
thOrities can get around to it.
These men face dismissal future. They
are on the worlds worst blacklist. 1t ,wiil
be almost impossible for them to find new
jobs, and it's lead-pipe cinch that they
won't draw any unemployment benefNs
while they are looking for them. - - =,
Some of them will starve, some will land
in concentration camps, some will be play
fully kicked around by the storm troopers
and all will suffer tremendous hardships.
For what? Simply for refusing to bend
the knee when the whip cracked; for being
men enough to look omnipotenee in the eye
and tell it to go run up twig. 3. .e
Heroism of that kind doesn't grow OF
every rose bush. Tyranny finds it and puts
it in the spotlight And some day, wher
the present madness is past, Germany viii
pay high homage to the men who display
ed such courage. ,,,.

ADVERTISING IN, RUSSIA

One OF the first things the Bolshevists did after
the Russian revolution was to- abolish advertising
1t was bourgeois. 1t made people want things It
was wicked. Now the Soviet authorities have re-
stored advertising. Not only that but they have
gone in for it in a big way They have discovered
that advertising is essential to large scale produc-
ton. You cannot sell unless you tell what you've
got to sell.
But even more interesting is the social" reason
given by the Kreinlin of advertising In creating
desire, advertising will make people work harder
