Addressing the North Carolina Press

scribed as ridiculous what he said was

Referring to the Government pub

existence is in the public interest
About one thing, however there can
be no dispute among those who know
the character of Washington news re-

Other Editors Say
lRiYerSide Press


Without any suggestion of dangerous rad
icalism, we believe. it can be said that the dam
age done by floods is another example of the
effects of unrestrained individuasm. In fact
it is the simple truth. Here is what a conserva-
tive newspaper editor interested in real conServ-
alton, writes in his paper:
PlowS have torn up the sod of our praires,
axes have denuded timber lands. The soil
has been robbed of its roots and grasses and
trees which held the water back after heavy
rains The crust of the earth has lost much
of the top SOIL which used to serve as sponge
for the waters from the melting SHOWS and
heavy rains. The silt in the rivers. the silt en-
tering the water mains of many inland
cities, is evidence that man has been destroy
ing natures balance of things. No wonder nature
shows her anger at times.
Farmers have been too individuaIstic in
these ways Seeking their immediate welfare,
they have neglected their future welfare. Seek
ing personal welfare they have neglected the
welfare Of society-of the whole group. Business
men, too have been too individualistic in their
short sighted destruction of forests, in dumping
refuse into streams and thus limiting their cap
acity to carry off water. They have
rowed river channels by filling along the banks
TO make roadbeds for railroads. Whole COM
munitieS have similarly obstructed streams by
narrowing bridge ends thereby inviting floods
for and other communities. And we seem 10th
to learn that those things work to our future
disadvantage.
To prevent all short-sighted policies and
TO remedy their disastrous effects, there have
TO be social controls set up by local. state and
federal governments, which were unnecessary in
a pioneer country.

DAY by DAY
By O. O. Mcintyre

NEW YORK. April 22-Richard
lie Gallienne, famous poet and faith
er of the equally celebrated but eS-
tranged actress. Eva, reveals in his
latest book that his Paris attic
which has been his home for a doz-
en- years is seven flights up. His
pension is on the Left Bank in the
shadows of Saint-Sulpice.
Up and down these long stairs
the venerable poet travels several
times a day to wander, sit in front
of cafes and exercise the rhymer'S
right to dream From his tiny bal
cony which reveals the familiar acres
Cf chimney pots, he looks across a
cobbled rue once call The Street of
Grave Diggers.
Almost opposite is the courtyard
of an old mansion. The ancient
gates bear the number "12". 1t was
here d'Artagnan of the Three Mus
keteers-Dumas's character was
real life figure-lOdged when he first
came to Paris. The street is now the
rue des Fossoyeurs.
Among LIE Gallienne's furnishings
is an oldish. oblong table of no par
ticular period nor beauty, yet some
how attracts attention. It was the
only thing left of Oscar Wilde's in
the miserable room nearby in which
he died. lie Gallienne was able to
purchase it.

California s law against criminal SYM
diealism, which might be more appro-
priately described as a law against
revolutionary plotting, is the states on
ly legal bulwark of all the states laws,
it is one that is most urgently needed.
1t is among the hardest of laws to en-
force, because of the difficulty in gather
ing proof that it has been violated. Even
the radicals should find no argument
with it-but they do
Imperial county residents, perhaps,
are in better position than many others
to know the danger that lies in possible
repeal of the law. They still remember
their own criminal syndicalism trial,
when defendants made no pretense OF
being innocent, but took the Qpportun-
ity to extol from the witness stand the
benefits of life in Red Russia as against
those in the United States. They openly
advocatd overthrow of the United States
government.
These are the so-called political
prisoners" the release of whom Cali
forna's radical groups seek.
The criminal syndicalism law, in
spite of its narrow confines, is the only
protection agriculture and industry in
the state have against Widespread, Com
munist inspired strikes and disorders.
Unless an equally strong campaign is
made to retain the law, its opponents
NAV be successful. Their success would
be costly to California.

Congratulations are due to Roy H.
Womack, new mayor of Ell Centre, but
even more are they due to other men,
bers of the council. who recognized his
service to the city by placing him in the
mayors chair. Womack, one of the most
progressive members of the council, is
man as we'll who does not always abide
by antiquated ideas but seeks in new
fields for methods of improving his city.
His Influence has been increasingly
strong since he became a member of the
board. 1t is a safe prediction that it
will become still stronger
Selections for commission posts were
fitting. Harry Sones, fire and finance
commissioner; Gordon Scriven, police;
J. p. Eyer, water and parks; H. w. Faw-
cett, streets; and Womack, sewer and
health, are especially apt to fill the posi-
tions given them.
lack of bitterness carried over
from the previous makeup of the council
was manifested in the quiet, deliberate
consideration and reappointment of all
department heads. There was no politics
in the discussion, no pulling of individual
irons from the fire The department
heads had rendered good service to the
city, so they were given the opportunity
TO carry on.
The calm, impartial tone of the first
session of Ell Centro's new city council
promised much for harmony and accom-
plishment in the future.
No member of the community need be
ashamed of his city trustees.

The r. Z. Lee Wilson plantation in Arkansas
received the largest cotton payments-Sl99,7 ZOO IN
1888 and 1884 Interest in that sum is accentuated
by charges of the Southern Tenant Farmers
Union that the firm changed from a Sharecrop-
ping system in order not to have to share bene-
fits threw hundreds on relief, and re-hired work
ers at rs cents for a 12 to l4-hour day.
This practice has been widespread. it Is said,
neceSSitatng large relief and ReSettlement eXpen-
dtureS in addition to AAA benefit money.
Many croppers and tenants are alleged to
have been phenagled out of all share in bene-
fits and the AAA here has been powerless to
correct that. because its local representatives
usually are plantation owners.
Under the new AAA soil program owners
are supposed to give sharecrOpperS about % per
cent of federal payments and no one here Is
prepared to say how many evictionS or eVaSlonS
may be expected.
There has been constant conflict within AAA
ranks as to what should be done to protect
roppers and tenants. the plantation owners side
being upheld by Gully Cobb chief OF the AAA
cotton section. Choppers actually have been re-
ceving IL to II per cent OF benefit payments,
officials say.
Meanwhile. the threat of the Rust brothers
cotton picker hangs heavy over the whole situa-
ton.
Also into the picture comes Mr.. Oscar G.
Johnston, manager of the federal cotton pool
and manager of the Brtish-controed Delta

WASHINGTON.-The fuss over big AAA
benefit payments has served to bring out angles
of the farm program which, although they won't
be made into campaign issues, seem TO reflect
more seriously on the record than the mere fact
that big payments were made to big producers
in accordance with law.
Displacement Of sharecroppers and tenant
farmers. notably in the south, is ground for one
of the chief complaints.
The news that Thomas D Campbell had re-
ceived about $4,000 for not raising wheat was not
considered as significant except by politicians
as that Campbell as sharecropper" could pocket
IS per cent of the benefit payments while Indian
owners OF land which he rented pocketed 15 per
cent at a time when cotton SharecropperS theoret-
tcally were averaging about Is per cent OF benefit
payments and cotton land owners about 80 per
cent
