year of this biennium, ending July I,
1897, prospects are that the credit bal
ance or surplus will then amount to
only $2,416,472, or possibly to only
$377, 391, if it is then found necessary
to divert an additional $1,019,540 from
the highway into the general fund.
"It is only necessary to look at these
figures for any business man to see
that the highway department is now
operating on such a close margin that
if it were a private corporation it
would be considered virtually insol-
VENT Chairman Waynick said. For
not only should business expanding
.$25, 900 year always maintain a
cash operating fund of at least ST.
100000 on hand at all times, but it
should also build up a reserve fund
for depreciation and replacement, in
order to be considered solvent. But the
legislature has not seen fit to set up
any reserve fund for requirements
whatever, while by the end of the next
biennium the cash reserves of the
highway department, will have drop
ped below the point considered safe
by private corporations. Yet in spite
of these facts, the uniformed talk
about the huge surplus in the high
way fund, when only a normal, and
necessary surplus or cash reserve will
exist by the end of this fis | year.
In order to look at the April 1 high
way fund balance of $13,720,S80 in it's
true light, it is necessary to know that
between now and July 1, the highway
department is obligated to pay out of
the fund a total of 1855, 1927 in ex-
penditures, Waynick pointed out. So
if the highway department did not
have any more revenue coming in be-
tween now and July 1, it would have
deficit instead of credit balance.
However, it is expecting to receive S.
268, $40 in additional revenue between
now and July 1, so that the total cash
availability between now and July ]
is estimated at about $18,989,530, with
known commitments against this a.
mount of 1897, exclusive of all
Federal aid construction.
Thus the present condition of the
highway fund, estimated revenues for
| the balance of this fiscal year to July
| 1, the estimated expenditures and

35 crop, for less than the amount of
the loan.
Cotton on which 12-cent loans were
made may be bought for 25 points less
than the average price of 7-8 inch mid
ding cotton on the 10 spot markets of
the country for the preceding mar
ket day.
Cotton on which 11-cent loans were
made can be bought for 125 points less
than the average market price, Girls
well pointed out.
However, he said, no 12-cent loan
cotton will be released for less than
11.25 cents pound, and none of the
11-cent loan cotton will be released
for less than 1925 cents pound
The producers may then sell the
cotton as they see fit, he said, but it
will be to, their advantage to insist
that buyers pay them the full market
price, including all premiums which
their particular cotton should bring.
Instructions regarding the proce-
dure for obtaining cotton held by the
government has been printed on the
back of the forms, Criswell added, and
will be explained to the growers by
their county agents, in their local
county where both forms and infor-
nation can be secured

tax to meals in boarding houses, res
taurants and heto'G IS much more of a
tax on the GoiJ 1ood of the people
than the rest of the sales tax.
while 1 voted for the sales tax in
general, I bitterly opposed the appli-
cation of the tax to meals and food
and voted against it. But DR.. Nc
Donald not only voted for this tax,
but actually made a speech in favor
of it, as all those who were members
of the 1885 house can testify. It is
true, of course, that DR.. Mcdonald
voted against the main sales tax sec
ton of the revenue bill. But what I
cannot understand is why he should
vote against applying the sales tax
to automobiles, fur coats, diamond
rings and silk clothing and should
then turn around and vote to apply
the tax to food and meals sold in res
taurants, cafes and boarding houses,
where thousands of working people
are forced to eat.
II think that DR.. Mcdonald should
be perfectly frank with his audiences
and tell them that while he refused to
vote for the sales tax section which
taxed everything but meals, that he
did vote for the amendment which
put all meals under the sales tax"

RESETTLEMENT AID
TO FARM ANTILLES
$4,000 Being :. = Helped in
Five States of Region 4

In The Sir Walter Hotel,
Rv i G. RASKERVILL

Raleigh, April 23-The Resettle-
Administrations had $4,000 farm faml-
lies under care of it's rehabilitation
program in the five states grouped in
Region 4, Rehabilitation Director Paul
Maris, of Washington, D. c., said
here today. Other additional thou
sands will be added to the program
during the next few weeks, he stated.
The states of Region 4 are North
Carolina, Tennessee Kentucky, Vir-
ginia and West Virginia.
Here for a conference with Region
al Resettlement officials, Mr.. Maris
was especially pleased with the pro-
gress of Rehabilitation activities in
North Carolina, where 1850 farm
families are fighting their way back
to self-supporting basis with "Rehab"
loans.
The Rehabilitation program is de-
scribed by the Information division of
Resettlement as follows:
"For many years the American peo-
pie a have regarded farming as one
activity certain to yield at least three
square meals a day and a place to
sleep at night. Many thought the
farmer was never threatened with
starvation, even though there were
years when he did not make any
money.
"This idea was proven false during
the DEPRESSION when more than a
million farm families were forced on
relief. The Government had to feed
these families. It was during this
period that the Government learned
that in most cases it is far better to

help the farmers help themselves than
to give them direct relief. It was
shown that a smcll loan, better land
and good farming methods would put
many of these distressed families on
their feet permanently.
"The Resettlement Administration
is the government agency now carry
ing out this program for aid for needy
farm families. Resettlement is ex-
tending loans and providing agricul-
tural guidance to enable low-income
farm families to become self-support
ing. The purpose is to enable indi-
vidual farm families to get a. new
start under more favorable conditions
on the farms they now own or rent.

But if the revenues of the general
fund should not be sufficient to meet
the present general fund budget, the
diversion of an additional $1,019,5 $40
should become mandatory, in addi-
ton OF the $1,OOO,OOO a year which is
being diverted from the highway fund
to the general fund anyway SO that
the credit balance or surplus would be
only $2,616,782 as of July 1, Waynick
pointed out. So these stories of the big
highway surplus are just fairy tales,
he maintains.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
DEMANDS FOR MIRACLES IN MANAGEMENT

Also it is begging the question for political gov
ernmeat to say that the government must DO all
this spending of billions because private industry
refuses to do it.
Too often we are being told that 'private indus
try must absorb the unemployed or else. Here
again it is mistakenly believed that all government
has to do is to publish such warning in the head
lines and business next morning will hire more men
than it knows what to dc with and will finance the
payrolls out of some imaginary fund to which phi
anthropically inclined stockholders will contribute
from year to year. $50
If we were really seeking definition Of "busi-
ness" we should turn to the investment portfolios
of our life insurance companies, our savings oanKs
and the lists Of owners of homes and farms in
America-all who produce and all who buy in the
marts of trade and all who have saved their earn
ngs of previous years of toll
Business" in essence is ownership of property
managed for the time being by employers OF dree-
tors who are trustees. But these trustees Or man.
ayers cannot consent to confscation OF impairment
lust because they would like to be Socially mind
ed' Herein lies the crux of the difficulty.
What some of the more substantial businesses
might be able to do if they were inclined TO IN
crease their production without regard to whether
they saw ahead market for their goods is one
thing but what the marginal producers must do to
keep their businesses from plungng into the red is
quite another.
These marginal businesses employ great many
people. If these units broken down, unemploy-
ment increases. Any artificial scheme which seeks
to put into the hands of government greater
power over the management of business than man.
agement itself can possibly exercise within the
bounds of prudence is bound to produce economic
chaos.
Yet business is asked to conform now to political
government, bow its head and accept without pro-
test the numerous plans for the regulation OF bust
ness affairs that are being offered by spokesman
for political government.-United States News.

AS NEWTON d. BAKER SEES 1T

Appearing in the Supreme Court of the United
States as counsel for power company, Newton d.
Baker declared his opposition to government in
competition with private enterprise.
Answering question by Mr.. Justice Brandes,
Mr.. Baker said:
at would be just as reasonable to say the gov
eminent of the United States, believing it neces-
sary to relieve unemployment, makes up its mind
to set up competing grocery stores in competition
with those already established"
That seems to be common sense position
The unacceptable consequence" Of government
competing with private enterprise is to destroy the
latter, Mr. Baker held. The government in the
long run increases unemployment by sapping the
strength of private companies.
Government draws its revenue from the taXpay-
ers 1t draws no revenue from enterprises owned
and managed by government. 1t has private enter
prise at a disadvantage when there is competition.
The private enterprise must pay its own way or
retire from the field. II cannot go to the taxpayers
for funds with which to pay losses.
If government, to relieve unemployment, should
establish grocery stores, the cost of operating them
would be much greater than it costs private COM
panies, for government would not keep political
favorites OUT of executive and administrative posi-
tions-Charleston News and Courier.

LANcAsHIRE's WHEELS BEGIN TO HUM

Revival in Lancashire may be nearer than is gen.
orally supposed. Today, Lancashire may have
better hope of revival than at any time in the last
twelve years.

is in prospect comparable with that, e. e.. OF the
steel industry. The latter can still count on an

Gently benefited from the normal cyccal rise in

titious advantage Of the re-equipment tide when

Cotton can look for few Of these benefits. What
it may hope for is rather the arrest and possibly
the reversal of the recent decline in its markets
though much depends on the success Of the gov
eminent in effecting trade agreements to overcome
the hardship imposed by trade restrictions IN many
countries. Adjustments to the new situation may
effect sucb reduction in costs as viii allow mod
crate profits to be earned by the more efficient
firms-The (London) Economist.
