POLITICAL RACKETEERS

The cry is heard again, as it has been through the years that bureaucracy is driving the nation to ruin The emergency agencies set by the present ad- ministraton are the cause of the latest rally There were other causes which seemed just important at the time when President Harding appointed his famous Joint Committee of Congress which recom- mended entire reorganization of the executive branch of the government and when Theodore Roose- welt trotted out his Committee Department Meth ods, and again, nearly 50 years ago when Senator Cockrell, prominent Democrat of that time, had select committee appointed to ferret into bureau ex- penditure and recommend economy. It did recommend as did the committees of Theodore Roose welt and Harding. And as probably will the now proposed by Senator Byrd of Virginia to undertake similar mission. They all recommend, but what be- comes of the recommendations? Nothing.
 And nothing will become of them. matter how laudable long We have the scramble for public office every and four years in this country It doesn't make any difference what party it is. They all have their high percentage of office seekers and those office seekers when they become office holders have duty to their constituency which in too many instances is provide as many them with jobs as possible.
 Vision the mad scramble of the moment Candi- dates the length and breadth of the land popping up like rabbits in meadow many of them no more qualified for the jobs they seek than a one-armed paper hanger with the hives would be to fight Joe Louis Nearly all of them going the country from something other, but primarily they want get public job if they talk the voters into it And shout of bureaucracy.
 There be no reorganization of government with the hope of eliminating waste and overhead so long the majority of voters cast ballots for the candidates who make the most noise promise the most things and crack the fellow in office whether he's right wrong. We have idea when if a millennium will when do not do that very thing. In the meantime, however, might well quit stewng about bureaucracy and direct efforts toward trying to weed out at election time the polti- cal racketeers from those who honestly and sincerely wish to serve, and qualified to do so.

term of 160 days for the rural schools
North Carolina Advantage
at is a fact of course, that when
North Carolina adopted the State
wide eight months school term in
1888, that this worked a hardship on
some of the larger cities and towns
which up to that time had had nine
months school term. But more and
more of these cities and towns are
now voting supplemental taxes for a
ninth month, so that by next year
most of these should again have the
longer term, thus increasing the aver
age for the State beyond the present
100 days. In addition, there are some
100000 moro children in eight months
schools now than prior to 1888, SO on
the whole North Carolina is really
far ahead Of the other southern states
