LOSING THE HOME MARKETS

The United States has the best markets in the
world for the products of the American farmers
and yet during the last three years this home mar
ket is being increasingly supplied by foreigners
Even in the state of North Carolina canned beef
from the Argentine has been coming in in great
quantities.
1t is startling to the American farmer to see how
foreign livestock and foodstufs is being sold in the
United States. Agricultural import figures for
1928, compared to 1885, show this tendency.
No country can ever become prosperous by cut
ting down its production and throwing away its
markets, and least of all Western North Carolna
The farmers of Western North Carolina have never
yet produced anywhere near as much as they
should even to supply our own local markets. We
need more poultry more butter, more hogs, more
cattle more wheat, more corn more hay, and more
oats So dry as is, and late as it is in the season,
the farmers of Western North Carolina should
make every effort to raise the biggest crops they
have ever raised.-Federation News.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE GROWTH OF BUREAUCRACY

During the past five years the population of the
District of Columbia, seat of our national govern
nent. has increased more than % per cent, says
Raymond Pitcairn.
No state or group of states, has approached
that rate of growth during the same period
compares with population increase of 3.9 per
cent for the nation as whole.
What caused the jump? A recent report of the
census bureau whose estimates supply the figures,
attributes it to an unprecedented peacetime influx
of federal employees to jobs in the scores of new
bureaus and commissions functoning during the
past few years at Washington.
These are significant facts They introduce an
arrestng element of novelty in the American pic
ture. Except during the brief emergencies of war
time our most striking growths heretofore have
occurred along what might be described as our
geographical and industrial frontiers. ,~
Population increased at the swiftest pace in
states where new and productive lands were being
developed by agriculture; in cities where new and
productive interests were originating and expand
ing.
Inevitably such growth meant greater opportun-
ity for the men and women who took part in the
development; greater wealth for the nation and its
citizens as whole.
But an unprecedented increase of job-holders at
Washington has quite a different meaning. 1t
shows only growth of bureaucracy. Unlike the
men and women who, by their energy and their
labors, continue to develop America and to bear
the costs of its government, many political job
holders produce little or nothing. They consume,
instead-out of the share of all men and women
who labor in the home, on the farm, in the factory
or in business. . ... ..... .. %. ....--.
And the greater the number of those who mere
ly consume, the greater the burden on those who

THE NEW UNEMPLOYED
iRv BRUCE CATION

(By BRUCE CAIION) g.; ..,, ...
The National Youth Administration now
estimates that at least 100000 young
men and women between 16 and % will
be looking for jobs this summer. The N.
Y. A. arrives at this approximation Dy
adding, to the current four million odd out
of work, 100000 high school graduates
and 10000 to 100000 college graduates.
Many of these young people will be
placed in jobs at once. The prospects for
young graduates are the best in five years,
the government agency finds. This is true,
among other reasons, because employers
more and more are turning to high school
and college-trained youths for new blood.
And so, despite today's huge unemploy-
ment problem, youth must not lose its IN
terest in education. The road to gainful
employment necessarily is longer these
days, but in the end the beSt-prepared man.

INEQUALITIES OF RELIEF

Inc average relief pay ranges from STEPS per
month in New York City, to s2S.sO per month in
North Carolina. 1t is interesting to note some Of
the wide variations in relief payments as disclosed
in the testimony of WPA Administrator Hopkins,
before, the house appropriations committee in
Washington. ...,
! The best relief pay in the country goes to the
professional and technical projects in New York
City, wnere' io''SO workers are employed at an
average monthly wage rate of $1O340.
North carolina stands at the bottom of the list
in some Of the payments. Mr.. Hopkins testimony

In a campaign year the politi-

this year have met with no op-

apparently takes the tacit posi-

had better be put over until next
year. -.
Lately it has appeared that
practically, anyone who wanted to

SWIFT JUSTICE
AN RRUCE CATTON


I'm one hour and % minutes of delibera-
ton, jury in Cleveland recently convict
ed a police captain on four counts Of a
bribery charge. The veteran captain, it
appears, managed to lay up $f05,OOO in a
few years, on comparatively small sal
airy. This curious fact interested the law.
What the investigators subsequently
found might happen nj any city. Judging
from testimony at the officers trial, it was
undeniable, ignominious corruption of a
public trust. In this case, the captain,
bootleggers. of the prohibition era testified,
collected regularly from the underworld
for guaranteed protection in his precinct.
1t is encouraging to note how quickly
the jury disposed of the case. 1t melted out
the kind of justice that must be had if cor
ruption is to be divorced from public office.
