RELIEF-BACK HERE IT


An apparent paradox Is the great
increase in the number of persons
employed in industry, with no de-
crease in the number of families
on relief. There is no reason to
doubt either of these facts. Ac-
cording to all the rules of COM
mon sense, the increase in employ
ment should have decreased the de-
mand for relief. That this has
not been the result indicates that
there is something wrong.
The major industries of the ma
ton are employing more people
than at any time in the past four
or five years, some of them more
than in the prosperous days of
1928. Yet at the same time there
are close to 100000 heads Of
families on relief. And this num-
Der has not varied substantially
since 1888.
At the root of this whole situa-
ton lies the fact that no figures
even approximately accurate have
ever been available as to the num-
Der of persons who ever had jobs
and who are now unemployed.
Of course, in the broad sense
everybody who does not work is
unemployed. But it is common
knowledge in every community Of
the United States that there has
always been a percentage of per
sons who never had anything that
could be called regular employ
ment at all.
The most obvious explanation Of

Indians scored their lone tally.
Pritchard was on third base and
Black on first. The latter IKE
cuted a delayed steal to second, and
with the catcher's peg to get him.
Sammy raced in from third to
GORE. The play worked perfectly,
many thanks to the fast legs of
Pritchard.
This was the first game of any
account for Brown, the Catawba
frosh, to pitch. He held the mill
team to eight hits, and was in
serious trouble only in the sixth in
ming. With more experience and
coaching, this boy will be among
the top-notchers Of our pitching
staff.

THIS AND THAT

The Presidents announcement
that both the Quody power pro-
ject and the Florida Ship Canal as
'WPA projects would be abandoned
caused some surprise. The feeling
on Capitol Hill is that, having
started these public words with
WPA funds, the President should
have seen them through with money
from the same source, instead of
asking Congress to provide the rest
of the funds necessary to complete
the jobs. If the two projects had
not been put up to Congress at the
same time, the Florida Canal prob
ably would have gotten by on its
merits.
The death of Louis McHenry
How chief secretary to the Presl-
dent, had been expected for nearly
a year. He was closer to the Presi-
dent than anybody else. Almost his
entire life for Is years have been
devoted to the service of Mr.. Roose
welt. Some political observers attri-
butte a big part of the political
strategy which resulted in Mr.,
Roosevlet's nomination in 1882 tc

Salisbury Mill

The Indians lost an exhibition
game to the strong Salisbury Mill
team on Friday, April II, to the
score of FL. The game was a
pitchers battle between Clyde
Kluttz of the Mill and Fred Brown
of the Indians.
The first five frames were score
less, but in the beginning of the
sixth, Poss Kesler, a former Cataw-
ba athlete, opened the inning with a
single, Yates walked, and Britain
doubled to deep right field to score
both runners. In the seventh, the

future Presidents.
A couple of weeks ago, l went
with some friends to the White
House, where we had a two-hour
talk with President Roosevelt. The
next day l had a visit with Senator
Dickinson of Iowa, and met for the
first time Col. Henry Breckenridge,
who is an avowed candidate for the
Presidency ON the CONSTITUTION
Party" ticket. The next day l had
luncheon with Senator Arthur H.
V~andenberg of Michigan and a
couple of days later, lunched with
Col. Frank Knox of Illinois.
Some one of the men | have just
named is quite likely to be the next
President Of the United States. I
don't know which one has the best
chance. I do know that they all
have less a~loofness and more of the
manner of ordinary human beings
than some of the Presidents I have
known in the past.
l think the time has passed when
a statesman can get anywhere by
posing heroically in dignified atti-
tudes and refusing to unbend in the
presence of common people.

ALCOHOL from U. S. crops
Mussolini rides in a motor car
which uses alcohol for fuel. Italy
can produce alcohol but it cannot
produce gasoline. In Amreica we
have been talking about alcohol as a
motor fuel, or a mixture of alcohol
and gasoline, for a long time. This
has been put forward as a means
of helping the farmer.
We still have plenty of oil re-
serves and cheaper gasoline than
anywhere else in the world. We
also have cheaper alcohol, mostly
made from imported molasses, for
which we pay about ~ cents a
gallon. Alcohol produced from
American farm products would be
several times as expensive. More
over, practical automobile engineer:
say that nobody has yet devised an
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1936-05-01

the paradox of increasing employ
ment and continuing relief expendi-
lures is that states, counties, NUM-
cipalities and private charities have
abandoned their task of relief to
the Federal Government.
A situation has been created
which will not be remedied until
the administration of relief and re-
sponsibility for providing the
money is taken back by the states,
counties, communities and by pri-
vate charities.

For Bad Feeling
Due to Constipation

Get rid of constipation by taking
Black Draught as soon as you notice
that bowel activity has slowed up or
you begin to feel sluggish. Thou
sands prefer Black-D raught for the
refreshing relief it has brought them.
Mrs Ray Mullins, Of Lafe;s Ark,
writes: MY husband and I both take
Thedford's Black-D raught and find
It splendid for constipation, bilious
ness, and the disagreeable, aching,
tired feeling that comes from this

gives her children, she says: 'They

l don't think we are going to get
very far in that direction.
GAS -. many sources
Up in the country a good many
of my neighbors are using a bot
tied gas" for cooking. 1t comes in
long cylindrical tanks, some of it
just ordinary coal gas and some
natural gas under pressure.
The other day an automobile ran
through the streets of Detroit pro-
PEELED by natural gas. Two small
tanks carried enough gas to run a
heavy car 70 miles.
That is another, interesting ex-
pertinent. Also, it is something that
would be more useful in countries
where cheap gasoline is not avail
able everywhere. In London they
are running buses on ordinary illu-
minating gas in tanks. Gasoline
costs one-and-sixpence a gallon in
England. That is about SO cents.
1t costs about the same in Germany,
where they are running some trucks
and buses carrying their own gas
generators, using wood, coal OR
charcoal to manufacture the gas in
side the vehicle.
All of those things are expedients
which do not seem economical from
the American point of view.
GLASSES not here
Ours is the only country in which
humanity is not divided into dis
tinct and usually hostile classes.
We have here no peasantry tied to
the soil as they have on the CONT
nent of Europe; no working class
hopeless of ever getting out of that
class, as in England.
I see and hear of many efforts tc
make groups of Americans class
conscious, but I don't think any OF
them will succeed in setting elias:
against class because it is so easy
for any American to remove him
self from one social or economic
group into another.
If we ever do succeed in divid-
ing Americans into two classes, !
think they will be the self-relian'
class and the beggar class.

REPUBLICAN SURMISES

In the field Of politics the belief
grows in Washington that Governor
Landon will not have a walk-over in
the Republican Convention, in spite
of his delegate strength and wide
spread public support.
The shrewdest of all the political
forecasters here gives him at pres

CARDS Senator Vendenberg as the
only other prospective Republican
nominee to be taken seriously. And
the Vandenberg movement is grow

P f f K ASSAILS
RED RULE OF
'NEWDEAL'

NEW YORK, Aug. 11,-Plagued
by communistic collectivists and
internationaliStS in positions OF
power, the New Deal has made a
complete botch of its farm and
foreign trade programs, George
N. Peek charges in his new book,
why Quit Our own" published
today.
In the book Peek tells
graphic and detailed story of how
his efforts as the first admin
istrator of the Agricultural AID
justment A d m n stration and
later as special adviser to the
President on foreign trade. were
blocked at every turn by officials
too occupied by rosy-haired the
orie. to recognize facts and sim
pie arithmetic"
Tugwell Accused
Without pulling his punches,
Peek names UnderSecretary OF
Agriculture Rexford Guy Tugwell
as the leader of the radical
group in the Government and
accuses TugWell of welding his
influence over President RooSe
welt to further establishment OF
a communicative system in this
country.
The hot-bed of this radical
group was the AAA, says Peek
There, he alleges, the horde OF
young lawyers who got jobs on
the Government pay roll through
Prof. Felix Frankfurter were en-,
couraged by their chief, Jerome
N. Frank. head of the AAA legal
staff, to lead the farm relief pro.
gram aStray in direction eX.
actly contrary to the principles
which American life has always
followed"
Lists Great Ideas"
Their great IDEAS" Peek lists
as follows:
ONE-An onslaught on compe-
tition" which resulted in sub
sidizing farmers for not pro-
ducing."
TWO-A frontal attack on pri-
vate profits.
THREE-A drive for a planned
economy" or Federal regula-
ton of industry and farming.
FOUR-To unite the farmers and
workers against something or
other known as the plutocracy."
Peek sums up:
"ThiS is the sort of thing
which the American Agricul-
tural Association eventually was
diverted into. There is no use
in mincing words. The Ameri-
can Agricultural Association
became a means of buying the
farmers birthright as a pre-
liminary to breaking down the
whole individualistic system of
the country.
Wallace Called "TOOl'
81 have the suspicion that
DR.. Tugwell had influenced the
appointment of Wallace as Sec
rotary (Of Agricultural to suit
his own purposes and that
Frank was part of a deliberate
setup to use the American Ag-
ricuIturaI Association to further
cOllectiviSm."
Finally, when his protests
against Franks in e ference
proved unavailing, Peek resigned
as Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministrator and was appointed
special trade adviser by President
Roosevelt.
In this position, Peek says he
Immediately ran into difficulties
with the "internationalistS" who
ruled the State Department, Sec
rotary Hull and Assistant Secre-
tary Sayre. He says:

dent that the State Department
was using the Reciprocal Trade

IMPORTANT TIRE FACTS

The three most important fac
tors responsible for satisfactory
truck tire performance have been
outlined by ]. C. Jayne, dealer for
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
"The first factor in satisfactory
truck tire performance is that the
proper tire should be used to suit
the load carried Mr.. Jayne ex-
planned. "The second is correct
adjustment of initiation to operat-
ing conditions and the third is cor
rect matching of dual tires.
"Overloading reduces tire mile
age. For instance, if tire is car
rving a 40 per cent load, it will
give but 70 percent of its possible
mileage. Truck tires, of course,
should be kept at recommended
pressures to insure maximum mil
cage.
"In correct matching of duals,
it is important that two tires which
vary more than one-half inch in
outside diameters not be matched.
