Root. HOG, OR co ON WPA

In Clarksdale Mississippi, police have arrested
able-boded unemployed men and charged with va

WPA has issued ruling which is interpreted to
mean that only persons accustomed to pick cotton

nrovided they are offered a standard rate of pay

There are good many economic maadJuStmehtS
in this country which need correction, and one OF

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
SELF-RAISED MOSTLY

"North Carolina" asserts Commissioner of In
surance Dan G. Boney, sis not coming out OF the
depression. 1t is out of the depression" This, he
saws is due to the tobacco crops of the past two
years and the Roosevelt administration.
We have no notion of denying the new dealers
anv share in this recuperation which Mr.. Boney can
with a clear conscience and an expert accountant
assign them; but believe the vast majority OF new
automobiles parked under his at the state de-
partments building are nearly tracea5le to
the tobacco crops. And if we stay out of the
woods, the splendid crop of corn and the resultant
fattening hogs will have been of greater assistance
than any pig or blowing policy of the late AAA.

WHY BE HOG-TIED?

In the South many persons have an almost wor-
shipful attitude toward political party regularity
chiefly because professional politicians find 1t to
their interest to promote this attitude, but citizens
elsewhere do not feel that way
And gradual but steady change is taking place
in the South.
The next president of the United States Will be
man who has voted independently, leaving his own
party from time to time
President Roosevelt has given frank endorsement
to independent voting, saying he votes as ne pleaseS
Governor Landon by his actions has done me
same. He supported Theodore Roosevelt
Party regularity is wise course perhaps 1oi

why citizens in general should hog-tie themselves

they shouldn't. =.

WASHINGTON. - Unr cvealed
" except in dry government pub
hcations, compilations now are
available which show the extent
to which some industries have
stepped ahead of pre-depreSSion
employment and the extent to
which others still lag far behind.
Comparing May, 1886, with May,
1929, it is Obvious that most indus
tries are not employing as many
persons as they were seven years
ago when we were supposed to be
enjoying boom prosperity. But
quite a few industries have as
large or larger payrollS than they
ever had before.
In some cases you can deduce
changes in American tastes and
habits and in others simply the
fact that certain industries are
tagging behind in the current
pickup. And then there's the fac
tor, varying from one industry to
another, of chronological employ
ment, which occurs sometimes
where an industry is producing at
a 1929 rate with perhaps ,25 or 80
per cent fewer employees.
THE beverage industry, of course,
l. is employing far more persons
than it. did in 1929 because of pro-
hibition repeal. But try and fig
ure some of these out: Other in
dustries where employment is five
per cent or more greater than in
1929 include soap, rayon, wire
work, stamped and enameied wear,
clocks and watches, chemicals,
leather and beet sugar.
There's a much longer list Of
industries whose employment is

ROONE-DOCGLING

Boone, North Carolina, is the current terrible
examine of WPA practice to which anti-New Deal
ers are pointing and must admit that it is pref
ty terrible.
Washington correspondents of the New York
Sun have dug up the fact that Boone has WPA
program costing $912s4, or about $40 for every
inhabitant and that the federal government will
contribute 80 per cent of the cost.
The census shows that the town has 200 families
and the projects should provide steady work for
one year to the heads of 100 families.
It is minor case as government expenditures
