NEWSPAPERS OPINION
OUR FARMS TURNED BACK TO us

When the government starts tanpering with this
law of supply and demand, things are thrown out
&c balance and the more the government regulates
rronufacturing agriculture; commerce and other
lines of business and endeavor, the more cockeyed
business becomes Too much regulation is, in our
bumble opinion, the reason why we have gone
+bronoh such an awful depression, with bad bust
ness with want and misery, with unemployment
and almost unbearable conditions, while ware
houses were bursting with plentysto eat and wear
sd with billions of idle dollars boarded up
t.rvinp in the midst of plenty, in other words. i
Rnt sneaking of the death of the AAA, the tex
+;,o ;nd,strv received the news that the Supreme
Cor,+ had decided that it was all. unlawful, with
siob+ If relief, That industry had been fighting
Az nrrocessinp tax provided for under the AAA on
a. ,ar,, oronnds that we have just mentioned
tba+ ;s that il is wrong to tax industry for the
hooef;t If another That processing tax has kept
a., +ax+;la indpstrv hampered and rendered it al
most impossible for the mills to pay their stock
h6ders oven small dividends. The textile industry
will he benefited by the death Of ,AAA. And be-
cause of that, the farmers should and possibly VIII
ba indirectly helped to the extent that another cut
may be made from the loss to them IN rentals anu
benefit payments coming as result OF the death
of the AAA. - g..
Now that both the AAA and the NRA are dead
and buried let Congress go about the task OF squa"
ing things up in the best manner possible; let US
all 60 to work and remain at work and dig out CT
this mess we have ourselves H. The American
people will come out of this as they nave all other
bad conditions, if let alone. And Wnlle thefe are
some regrets at what the Supreme Court has done'
we all have the consolation of knowing that we no
longer have to pray three times day with our
faces toward Jerusalem as it We're, unless we just
chose to do So We can plant our fields IN what
ever we desire, we can have our cotton gnned when
it is produced we plant the entire farm IN
potatoes or in tobacco or cotton, or whatever we
may please, or we can leave our acres IDLE III we
choose and can live by so doing. ~ .
Another consolation coming as result OF the
death of AAA and NRA, is knowing that regular
army of officials and employees in charge OF the
machinery of these two organizations will no long
er live off of the tax payers of the nation 1t will
be hard on these thousands of employees but 1t
will certainly help to life the tax burden from the
backs of the rest of us. ...... ..
Speaking of how the farmers are receiving the
news of the death of AAA, the Gastonia Gazette
quotes one as having made this statement
"My land has been restored to me- he said.
81 don't care if cotton goes to two cents pound
i am free again to dowhat l wish with my.
land, plant what and how much please, with no
one to say what shall and shall not do with what
claim to be my own" ,.-.
e Somehow, we glory in the CASTOR County farm
er's grit We feel the same way. There may &c
many big financiers who could take over this paper
and make more money for than we have the
business ability to make, but darned if we would
be willing to let them do it? We would rather
make less and feel the pride of knowing we can run
the paper as we please, employ whomsoever we
please and at such prices as such employees may be
willing to accept in return for their services
