Salisbury Citizen Haunts
Post Office Lobby And
Nabs Discarded Liter
airy Digest Presidential
Ballot.
Then Marks Them For
His Favorite

Believe it or not, and strange as
it may seem, ct al, ct cetera, a
Salisbury citizen has already voted
eleven times so far this year in the
Literary Digest presidential poll!
This information was conveyed
to a representative Of The Watch
man by one Of Salisbury's most
reliable citizens and business men.
The veracity of the story cannot
be successfully denied; for, by
CORY, it's the truth!
He voted eleven times, did this
man, in this mysteriously conduct
ed poll. Then this poll-stuffer re-
lated his activities to the local
business man who whispered the
story to a Waterman reporter.
How did he do it?
Twas very simple.
When the ballots began arriving
in Salisbury in the presidential poll
of the Literary Digest, this GER
tain citizen parked himself in the
lobby of the Salisbury post office.
From time to time he observed
that various persons, after extract
ing mail from their boxes, and Civ
ing the missives a cursory glance,
tossed various and sundry enve-
lopes into the waste basket or
mail garbage cans Many of
these he took from the cans. Some
were ballots from the Literary
Digest-at least, eleven of them
were. So he voted each one!

New Deal
In Speech

Congressman Harold D. Cooley
of Nashville was the principal
speaker at a Democratic rally at
the courthouse Tuesday night as
he proclaimed the achievement of
the New Deal, lauded President
Roosevelt for his humanitarianism,
and his efforts to bring about eco
nomic and social security to the
nation in the face of the tremend-
Gus burdens he assumed in 1888.
Congressman Cooley reviewed
some of the outstanding activities
of the last few years, with parti-
cular reference to the gains in
business, to farmers and the labor
ing man, and said the return of
the Democrats to power in the
coming elections would assure a
continuance of the principles Of
progress and prosperity.

FARM AND SECURITY ACTS


The Frazier-Lemke Act which
granted a three-year moratorium
against foreclosure of farm mort
cages has been challenged by the
Phoenix Joint Stock Land Bank of
Kansas City, which has carried the
request to the Supreme Court after
adverse ruling by the Eighth Cir
cult Court of Appeals. The Su-
preme Court decided last year that
an earlier Frazier-Lemke Act Of
similar intent was unconstitutional.
The present act was passed in an
effort to accomplish the same result
by constitutional means.
No formal action to challenge
the constitutionality of the Social
Security Act has yet reached the
Supreme Court, although that is a
very important act of the 74th
Congress of which a constitutional
test is expected sooner or later.
In the meantime, the Social Sc
curity Board is preparing to carry
out the provisions Of the Act, es-
pecially that part of it dealing with
old age insurance, which does not
take effect until January 1, 1887.
The gigantic task upon which a
huge staff Of clerks has been at
work for nearly a year is that of
checking and recording the names,
ages, and employment records of
some 26,0O0,OOO workers in in

Other Federal Helps TO Housing

The Government has not only saved homes. 1t has encouraged
dwel1ers, in city and country, to get decent housing.
PRIVATE HOME Thanks to the Federal Hous-
ing Administration F.HA) you can borrow money from your
bank or loan company to build or modernize your home On the
easiest of terms because .H.A. insures the lending agency against
losses from such loans. Other methods by which the Govern
ment has lberaized funds for home financing are the encourage
ment of new Federal Savings and Loan Associations in counties
adequate loaning service, and by opening a more ample flow of
credit from the II regional Federal Home Loan Banks into mem
Der institutions.
COMMUNITY HOUSING: The Government is stimulating low
cost housing construction in various ways. Inside of cities, Public
Works Administration P.W.A) is building SO projects and
loaning funds for 7 others; outside of cities, the Reettement
Administration is erecting small homes in 80 rural community
projects and about 1000 houses in model suburban settlements.
F. H. A. has insured loans for II enterprises and has a mortgage
insurance plan for the private construction of low priced garden
homes"
Results:
Home building for the first quarter of 1885 rose 372 per cent
over 1884.
Over a billion has been spent for home repair under F.H.A lead
ership.
Private mortgage loans for new construction are more than
double any year since 1881.

Reflect President Roosevelt
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1936-10-16

While Washington's attention is
O in the least diverted from the
presidential campaign, considera-
ton is being given to what is 60
ing to happen after election, no
matter who may be elected. For,
on the question of who will be
the next President of the United
States, the best-informed political
prophets here are frankly throwing
up their hands. So many factors
which have not been present in
previous presidential campaigns
enter into the picture this wear
that nobody feels quite sure that
the usual signs which have here
tofore been relied upon will prove
reliable in 1886.
But whether Mr.. Roosevelt or
Mr.. Landon is elected, the mill of
the Supreme Court will grind on as
if there had been no political cam
paign. 1t is not expected that any
important decisions will be handed
down until after election, but from
then on there will be a succession
of decisions on ten, at least, of the
acts of the 73rd and 74th Congress
ses whose constitutionality has been
challenged.
The principal laws under attack
are the Wagner Labor Relations
Act, the Frazier-Lemke Farm
Mortgage Moratorium measure, the
1888 Truth in Securities act, the
Public Utility Holding Company
act and the right of W. to make
loans for publicly owned hydro
electric plants.
THE CHALLENGED LAWS
The Wagner Labor Relations
Act, which established the National
Labor Relations Board and guar
anteed the right of collective bar
gaining to all employees, has been
challenged by the Associated Press
and by the Bradley lumber Com
pany of Arkansas. The lower have
upheld the constitutionality of the
act. Now the Supreme Court is
to pass upon their rulings.
Several power companies have
questioned the constitutionality Of
government loans for publicly
owned electric light and power
systems. Their complaint is that
this puts the government into I'M;
fair composition with private bust
ness. The action Of the Supreme
Court on this and the Public Utili-11
ty Holding Company act is expect
ed to bring to a head the conflict
between the Federal Government
and public utilities.
A step toward bringing about
better relations between the Gov
eminent and privately owned pow
er companies was taken the other
day by President Roosevelt, who
called in representatives of import
ant power companies for a private
conference at the White House.
While no public information was
given out as to what was discussed,
it is understood here hat the ef-
fort was to find a reasonable rule
to govern the distribution Of power
produced at government dams in
the Tennessee Valley and elsewhere.
The right of che government to
distribute this power has been chal-
lenged, though its right to generate
electric energy as an incident to the
construction of dams for flood and
navigation control, has been upheld
by the Supreme Court.

When banks, loaded with unsaleable real estate but without ready

Democrats TO The Rescue
One of President Roosevelt's first acts was to fulfill bis campaign
pledge. The Home Owners Loan Corporation Oh. O. L. c.
created in June, 1888, gave distressed homeowners a chance to
keep their homes by refinancing their loans for IS years at 5 per
cent interest, with principal repaid by sma. monthly installments.
1t gave distressed banks and mortgage companies a chance to ex-
change their defauted mortgages for its government-euaranteed
bonds. In the country similar emergency help was Offered
through the Federal Land Banks by the Farm Credit Admins
tration (F.C.A1.
Results:
H. @. L. c. restored 1,ooo,749 homes to their owners, F. c. A.
saved a half million more.
In June, 1888, mortgages were foreclosed at the rate of 1000 a
day, in March, 1886, foreclosures were lowest in $ years.
