TWO PARTIES PREFERABLE

While hoping for the reelection of President
Roosevelt, this newspaper views with no alarm at
all the signs that the Republican party is growing
in strength in the South The South needs two
party system. South Corona needs it. Our public
affairs will be better handled when we get it, for a
strong minority party is the best check in the world
on a party in power, and we shall receive more
consideration at the hands of the federal govern
ment In national election, neither party needs
to pay the slightest attention to South Carolina,
for the state is in the bag for the Democrats long
before the campaign starts. One side cannot lose
it. the other cannot hope to gain it. so why should
either worry about it?-Greenville Piedmont

STANDARDIZATION

Standardization for human be-
ings is not only undesirable but
impossible; persons are not alike;
they are not intended to be alike
though it is quite possible for
an entire nation to have a stand
ardized code of principles and be-
haVlOr.
However, many things which
human beings use and live by
should be standardized to make
life easier and smoother for those
who are circulating here and there
and entering and leaving this com
munity and that community, this
section and that section.
Traffic laws for instance should
be nationally standardized 1t
should not be necessary for an
automobilist to have to memo1ze
a new set of traffic laws every
time he enters a different NUM-
cipality. Crime laws should be
prettv well standardized tot.
Much Roadway has been made
bv the United States government
in standardizing mechanical de-
vices sunh as electric light bulbs,
nuts and bolts and tire valve vaps.

JUNIORS HAVE =.
DISTRICT Meet
R. L. Bishop New District
Deputy; Two From Here
Made Officers

SWANNANOA, May 4. - The
members of the Junior Order Of
United American Mechanics, at
their Goth semi-annual meeting at
Salamanca with the Beacon Mills
council, Friday afternoon elected
r. L. Bishop. of the Locke Craig
council, district deputy.
The closed meeting at 2 o'clock
in the Beacon hall was made up
of representatives from the u
councils which compose District
No. 2. The counties of Haywood,
Buncombe, Polk, Henderson, Mad
ison and Pennsylvania, with a to-
tai membership Of more than q
600 Juniors, are in this district.
Around $50 attended the Swan
nanoa meeting.
The night session, which was
held at s o'clock in the Savanna
noa high school auditorium, was
open to the public. Quincy p.
Hood, state treasurer of the or
der, was the principal speaker. He
outlined the present school set
up, stating that the Junior Order
is pledged to support and encour-
age schools in North Carolina. He
traced the history of the school
system from the log cabin to the
modern consolidated high school.
C. w. Snyder, field secretary Of
the Junior Order from Winston
Salem, described the social work

.need of standardization is the edu-
cational system of this nation and
the schoolbooks. A family moving
from one state to another may
find that all the schoolbooks OF
the children must be scraoped.
That is inefficiency reduced to
foolishness.
When we spent all our lives in
our own communities, standard
j2ation was not as important as 1t
is now that easy transportation
causes us to ramble' II over the
United States.
AS we more and more live all
over this country there is more
and more need for national con-
troll and supervision of some
things which years ago were en-
tirely the business of the indivldu-
al states and localities.
AS the people of the United
States mingle more and more the
federal government must more
and more be granted certain har-
monizing powers if there is to be
more and more harmony instead
of more and more confusion.

HURRAH FOR TAX-EATERS!

Much more than a billion dollars of taxpayers
money is paid out annually in wages and salaries
to the 100000 persons employed by the federal
government in the civil service which does not in
clude the army, navy or the CCC. During the last
three years the number of federal employees has
been increased by $4,000. In addition more than
100, 900 part-time employees have been added to
work in some 5000 new bureaus, commissions and
committees which have been created. Federal en-
ployees are reported to be increasing by thousands
every month. On top of this taxpayers are support

PEACE SEEMS TO HINGE ON WORLD
PROSPERITY
(Bv BRUCE CATION

Poland slides off the gold standard, anu
French stock market prices sag heavily In
the face of an impending radical election
victory; and in these things may be read
forecast of further political unrest which
has been making that luckless continent
Europe, so unhappy, .........
For politics seems to follow economies IN
modern Europe. Ever since the war, dis
turbed economics has meant disturbed poll
ties. When measure of prosperity arrives,
the nations get along with themselves and
with one another; when 1t departs, they
fall out and there is trouble. ..
For rather more than the first hall Oh
the postwar decade, European finance and
trade were highly unsettled and those
years were also a time of great political
unrest. ..,....
Revolt and counter-revolt swept central
Europe. Italy INDUCED in Fascist revolt
ton. France marched into the Ruhr. Iur-
kew fought the Greeks. Within and with
out, each country faced disorder and acute
discomfort. ....... .
. Then, in 1925 or thereabouts, business
improved. Currencies became stabilized,
international trade revived, war debt and
PREPARATIONS questions were given tenn
porary settlement And straightway po-
ltical conditions Improved.
The Locarno Treaty was signed, the
German republic took new lease on life;
if nothing much was actually done about
disarmament, the nations at least found 1t
in their hearts to talk about it.
The Kellogg Pact was signed amid fine
talk about international friendship. States
men found it less necessary to turn the
gendarmes loose on their own peoples. =
Then came another change, about five
years later An economic. crisis developed
in Austria, moved on to Germany, spread
all across the continent; and before. long
it was reflected in a new, more serious po-
litical tension.
Germany embraced dictatorship. Spain
had a revolution. Italy was driven to a
desperate foreign war. There were bloody
riots in France. England began hastily to
rebuild her fleet and her air force.
Talk of war and revolution, unheard for
years, began to be heard on every hand.
1t is hard to tell whether economic trou-
bic causes political trouble, or vice versa.
Maybe the two things more or less cause
each other. But the one obvious fact is
that they go hand in hand. A prosperous
Europe tends tp be a peaceful Europe; an
unprosperous Europe is ripe for war and
revolt -
Stating the case like this, only empha-
sizes the worlds dire need for finding the
road to international economic recovery
and finding it quickly. If the world hopes
to live in peace it must, apparently, learn
the secret of keeping healthy its trade and
finance. ,- . -. ..s...

U1AsHINGTON-The price OF
w food has begun to 60 down
.fter an almost continuous ascent
,ince the summer of 1888. :
Payrolls, on the other hano'
nave been going up.
This makes it nice for practi-
cally everybody, since even the
unemployed can buy a trifie more
| with their WPA or dole checks as
a result of a decline of 8 per cent
shown in the last retail food price
figures reported.
That decline is for early April
this year as against early April a
year ago. The comparative fig
ures first showed slight decline
in March, the month which re-
vealed that factory and other pay
rolls were nearly 7 per cent higher
than a year previously
THE current price drop has been
L caused chiefly by expansion ot
food supplies following reduction
resulting from drouth. Normally
an increase in consumer buying
power, as indicated by the payroll
figures, would be followed by ar
increase in prices.
Food supplies probably viii
continue to show an increase thI'
summer, barring drouth or othel
bad weather factors. But. if pay
rolls continue to 60 up, they ma.
offset the downward retail pric,
trend because of increased con
sumption and purchasing power.
| Chief effect Of elimination o
| processing taxes is visible in lowe
flour prices. National bread pric
averages remain the same as las
year, though lower than in De
cember.
/ Part of the decrease in por
prices is due to removal Of tn
processing tax, but most of it
