"a ROAD PROBLEM ARISES"

We quote from The Cleveland Star, un-
der the above caption:
State Highway Chairman Waynick states that
little money viii be available for new road con-
struction after this year and cites revenues from
State and Federal governments to show that the
present pace of construction cannot continue.
Federal aid will expire after 1887 unless there
is another appropriation and North Carolina as
wen as the other states viii be thrown back on
their own resources. %
The State appropriates ten millions year for
maintenance and two millions for "betterment
of highways, which is goodly sum OF money
and should prove adequate in view of the fact
that the highway department has at its disposal
tho 1ablebsdied men out of prison population OF
5000 in the state.
lust now urgent need is for repairs to roads
damaged during the severe winter. The summer
will soon be gone and yet we still have ROADS
that have not been repaired. A notaofe ins'ahce
of this is No. $50 between Cherryyillte and LIN
eolnton. Mr.. Waynick recently gave An exptana-
ton for this delay from an engineering ssahp-
point but the explanation was too screntrnc 1or d
laynar's understanding Construction OF ne"
projects has not been halted because OF weather
conditions, so It does seem that repair patches
could be made with equal durability. -
This is an Interesting contribution tot
talk about road problems; and it leads Th

"You are right, my DEAR" re-
piled the husband. "You are eter-

"this affair has given me a new
slant on the story of the good

"What is it," asked the wife.
"Well, it is this" replied the
husband. 81 have heard it said

PITY THE WITNESSES
Witnesses are frequently essen
tial to the conviction of law vio-
lators and to the solving Of crime
mysteries; but the way the au-
thorities treat witnesses often puts
them in the class with criminals.
Witnesses are sometimes locked
u6Sin jail and held for weeks and
even longer because they are
wanted for questioning. That sort
of, thing goes on all over the Uni
ted States. 1t is going on at this
writing in my home town.

est charges to meet "are economi-
cally ruined or seriously crippled
in their future production pro-
grams by reason of unexpected
failure or destruction of their
growing crops"
At the same time, Jard1ne
pointed out some difficulties in the
way of crop insurance system. A
uniform-rate plan, or even an ap-
proach to it, he said, would re-
suit in discrimination against the
better farming sections in behalf
of leSS-favored sections and would
unduly encourage bringing more
submarginal land into production,
Complaints from localities where
insurance premiums were high be-
cause of severe crop hazards
would be likely to lead to danger
Gus political pressure for rate re-
vision. 1t would also be difficult
to make sure that policy holders
lived up to requisite conditions.
One proposal suggested at AAA
~ would insure the farmer for
up to- rs per cent of his crop:
Ideas about how to fix the pre-
MUM rate seem rather hazy thus
far. One plan would determine
the average annual crop deficiency
over a, Six-year period. and then
work out alsimilar average for the
individual farm. ~ ,n'ftv,- 80 g.
A rate would be worked out IN
the basis of each average and then
the two rates would be averaged
together to compute the premium
rate to the acre.
Officials seem to favor collecting
premiums in the form of grain
rather than in cash and collect
ing them only in years of excess
This would both
draw off surplus from the market
and build up the "ever-nornal
granary," which would be simply
a system of holding grain in stor-
age against lean years.

WASHINGTON. AS the ex-
U" tent of the drouth disaster
begins to be realized, it becomes
increasingly likely that we will
hear more and more about crop
insurance.
Secretary of Agriculture Henry
Wallace has been promoting the
idea. There is also at least a hint
that Gov. ALT Landon has been
studying it, with a view to a pos
sible pronouncement later.
Both the Hoover and Roosevelt
administrations have established
farm relief programs and neither
program has proved satisfactory.
No one knows how the current
soil conservation program will
turn out, but it is obvious enough
that farmers need some protection
against the ravages of Nature and
that it may be good political medi-
cine to propose some such plan
for them.
A AA officials are working on
= plans for crop insurance COW
sring all possible risks to wheat
Regardless of whether New Deal
Or a Republican administration
decides that a federal system of
Insurance is good thing, the rec
ords of the AAA will prove IN
valuable in determining the en-
tent to which the system would be
feasible. p. -.E.7 ~
These records cover individual
farms for six years and although
they cover only farmers who par

WELCOME NEWS

Following dramatic conference at the White
House between President Roosevelt and his tax eX-
merits the announcement is made that the next con-
0ress win not be asked for additional federal taxes
Secretary Morgenthau of the treasury department
in letter to the president, calls attention to the
Substantial upturn in business which has had the
result of increasing federal revenues to point
that no new taxes will be necessary at this time
This news is indeed welcome, as is another pass
age in the Morgenthau communication.
He states that the efforts of tax experts at the
next session will be in the direction of needed re-
vision of our federal tax structure. Such revision
he says will be aimed at the elimination of certain
nequities which exist in the present tax structure

One little-publicized aspect of the campaign is the great reliance placed by the Democratic field marshals on the big-city po- litical machines.
 In some respects the situation is anomalous. In the public mind the Roosevelt Administration has been identified with idealism and the brain trust Its vocal follow ing is made up largely of those interested in "a cause" Daily it is indicted by the opposition on a charge of having elevated theor- ists, novices and impractical zeal ots to places of high responsibility.
 In the quieter precincts where the political war plans are made, how ever, sit very practical men in- deed. At several of the most im- portant salients the tower of Dem ocratic hope is a political organi- ration of long experience and def mite determination. It is not en- tirely inconceivable that the out come in these particular salients may spell national defeat or vic- tory, regardless of the noise and fury elsewhere.
 Will Tammany deliver in New York? Will Hague come across in New Jersey? Can Guffey swing Pennsylvania? How is Pendergast doing in Missouri? Will Kelly pro- vide the needed majority in Illinois?
 Very, very eagerly will the Dem- ocratic managers at headquarters watch for the answers to these questions when the returns begin to trickle in on election night.

WILL THEY COOPERATE?

A
 Strangely enough when the prac- tical politicians consider this sit- uation, the question asked oftenest is not whether the big five among Democratic machines will be able to deliver their states and the Presi- dency, but whether they will choose to do So
 Outwardly all five are for Roose- welt. But the ways of machine politics sometimes are strange and inscrutable. Very often a politi- cal boss rises above party" and puts local considerations ahead of the interests of the National ticket. He just conveniently forgets to put on the heat"
 Tammany really turned out the vote for Roosevelt in 1882, but failed to do so for Al Smith, one of its own, in 1923. Now Tammany is having internal troubles; will it be too much of strain on those trou- bles to apply the pressure for Roose- velt in 1886? Until recently, at least, the official word to roll up the vote had not gone down the line from the wigwam.
 Mayor Kelly in Chicago had ser ious falling out some weeks ago with Democratic Governor Horner: later reconciliation was announc- ed, but it can only be conjectured what scars remain Tom Fender gast has party split on his hands, with himself the issue in the local Missouri election
 All of which helps to explain why in Democratic headquarters on election night, the paramount ques- ton may be: Have they deliver ed?"

COULD SWING ELECTION

The five states mentioned have. among them 143 electoral votes. Addei to the solid south, they would be more than sufficient to elect a President. In all of them, the ru- ral sections normally are Republi- can; they go Democratic only when the Democratic organization rolls up an overbalancing majority in the cities.
 s It is worth noting also that each of the five organizations named has been doing very we'll for itself re- gently.
 In 1885 Tammany made tremen- dcus gains in New York City. In the same year, in Chicago, the Kerlyites carried the city by the un- precedented majority of 630, ,000, and Frank Hague established a new high for Democratic pluralities in his urban balliwick in northern New Jersey. M
 The Guffey organization in Penn sylvania had its latest test in 1884 when it elected both Governor and a Senator in that traditional Republican stronghold. As late as August 4, 1886, the Pendergast ma chine in Missouri won one of the most impressive party pri- mary victories in it's history.
 All of these five states are hotly- contested territory in the 1886 cleo tion. Probably few Republican leaders would dispute that if all five are pushed into the Democratic col umn by the strenth of their five
 powerful big-city machines. M

 The men at the Miami air base don't mind the strange requests they receive but they do wish land lubbers" would get acquainted with boats.
 Calls from missing fishermen's distraught relatives send the Coast Guardsmen off on frequently peril lous flights at all times of the day and night, searching for boats that fail to return.
 Relatives No Help
 Sometimes we find them and sometimes we don't" said Lieut.. Commander R. L. Raney. How ever, the relatives usually aren't much help. They don't know the name or number of the missing craft and they can't describe it.
 When they do describe the boat, they usually say it's 3o-foot cabin cruiser with white or buff decks, and that fits a hundred charter boats in these waters"
 Some searches end with aviators finding the boat safely anchored
