Showers during the latter half of
this week have been of untold benefi.
to young tobacco plants. as well as
other growing crops IN this section,
according to observers of the farm
picture. The rain came just at the
time it was most needed, and is be-
lieved to have been the salvation OF
the tobacco crop.
The end o. the week finds virtually
all of the tOtacco crop for the year
in this county and section set in the
growing fields. Farmers have made
good use of the seasons resulting
were scattered to reach practically
all parts of the county.
The rains greatly improved the
prospects for the crop. Indications
now are that the years production
will be slightly in excess of that for
1885, provided seasons are favorable
from this time on.
]. B. Huis0n, Of the tobacco section
of the AAA in Washington, is quoted
in a statement from N c. State Col
lege, Raleigh, as saying there will he
a small increase in the crop in North
Carolina, despite the epidemic of blue
mold that swept tobacco seedbeds a
few weeks ago. The entire flue-cured
crop is expected to run between 700
and $50 million pounds. as compared
with 6S2,S0O,000 pounds last year, Hut
son said
The 1887 crop is expected to be
about the right size to meet the de-
mand that has been indicated for this
year, he declared, and local tobacco
men have expressed the view that
prices will be at least as good as last
season.
According to DIR. Luther Shaw ex-
tension plant pathologist at State Col
lege, the normal stands of tobacco be-
ing secured in North Carolina at the
present time are accredited to two
principal factors. The growers pre-
pared more plantbeds than usual, he
said, and few plants were transplant
ed to the fields until they had re-
covered from blue mold attacks.
With larger number of seedbeds.
more healthy plants were available
even though some beds were hard hit
Shaw said. And in beds where the
mold was not serious, plants recover
ed generally as the sun and warm
weather killed blue mold organisms

WELFARE BOARD TO
Be NAMED MONDAY
County Superintendent Also
To Be Chosen for Com
ing Two Years

Two members of the Vance County
Board of Public Welfare and the wei
fare superintendent are expected to
be chosen at meetings here next Mon
day.
The Vance Board of County Com
missioners is to name it's member of
the three-person commission, and that
person. together with Mrs. B. G.. AL
len, recently named by the State
Board of Charities and Public Wei
fare, are to select the third member
The three will constitute the board
Of welfare for the county for the next
two years.
That board and the commission
ers are to sit together to elect the
welfare superintendent for two years
1t is expected that Mrs. E. r. Aus
tin. who has held the office for the
past two years or more, will be re-
elected without opposition.
From this time on the welfare
board is expected to have greatly in
creased duties to perform by reason
of the fact that it must administer
social security and child aid distri
button in the county through the wei
fare superintendent. This comes I'M
der the enactment of the 1887 Gen
eral Assembly and the Federal social
security act creating the new system
authorized by Congress.
Beneficiaries are to be selected
within the next few weeks, as pay
ments are to start on and after July
1. The welfare superintendent ano
the county board will be virtually the
sole arbiters of eligibles.

the worst feature of blue mold was
the inconvenience caused some grow
ers who had to buy plants from 9th
ers whose beds were not so badly
damaged.
With the approach of the selling
season. there is talk of increased
warehouse capacity for the Hender-
son market though nc definite an
nouncement has as yet been made. II
is talked that two houses are to en-
large, and that one of them will add
on enough floor space to create two
houses of the single building. The
other already operates as two units.
Only one change in warehouse per-
sonnet of management has been
rumored, and that has not gone de-
finitely far enough to be announced
as final For the most part the ware
houses here will be operated by the
same ownership and management as
last season.
Dates for the openings in the six
telts of the South, five of them hand

season at the annual meeting of the
Tobacco Association of the United
States. which will be held at the
Chamberlain hotel at Old Point Com
fort, Va, on Thursday Friday and
Saturday, July 1, 2 and g. Little
change is expected in the relative
dates for the different belts, although
the status of the growing crop may
be a factor in the schedule of open
ings This Middle Belt usually opens
about the third week in September,
and no change from that time is now
anticipated

IMPROVING PRODUCER
CONSUMER UNDERSTANDING

| An interesting innovation designed
to improve producer-consumer re-
lationships and understanding has
been inaugurated by the First Ma
tional Stores, Inc, food chain serv-
ing many New England communi-
ties.
Housewives belonging to an or
ganiZation which represents IS BOs-
ton women's clubs with a total men,
bership of 10000 were invited to the
First National plant to hear the rep
resentatives of local producer groups
tell what the farmer is doing to earn
consumer favor Two hundred-fifty
attended, and a digest of the confer
ence has been prepared for use by
club economic groups. The keynote
of the meeting, according to an an
nouneement was ito promote greater
recognition of the mutuality of in
terest between consumers and their
local neighbor-producers; to foster
better understanding between con-
sumers and their local neighbOr-pro-
ducers; and to stimulate intelligent
cooperation between those who raise
foodstuffs and those who buy them"
Speakers included a director of a !
consumers institute. three farmers, |
and an Official of the stores.
A conference such as this is of
great service to all concerned. And
il is peculiarly fitting that it should (
be sponsored by a large-scale food |
distributor. During the last year or |
more these distributors have car ]
ried on many successful campaigns
to stimulate consumption of various
farm products in order to move dam
gerous surpluses, and at the same
time to give the buyer maximum
quality and quantity for his money. lI
Il is possible that similar conferen-
res will be sponsored by other food
selling stores in other parts of the
country. There is no better way of
icquainting producers and consum-
ers with the problems faced by each
which can often be
Iolved through mutual cooperation
md understanding.

THE TAx.ExEmpr PARASITES

4
There is growing up a new class,
which, by the ownership OF govern
ment securities, has more privileges
and less responsibility than any roy
atty the world has ever known. They
live on the taxes OF the people, while
they themselves enjoy many tax ex-
emptiohs.' says Arthur Huntington
in Public Utilities F'ortnightly.
1t is probable that not one person
out of ten realizes that government
borrowings are exempt from taxa
ton. In other words, the man who
buys $1,000 worth or $4,000 worth
of government bonds, Is I'm the priyi-
legged class that is not taxed on the
income ederives from those bonds.
Also. the businesses which the gov
ernment develops with the money de-
rived from the privileged, tax-free
bonds, are wholly or largely tax
exempt.
In the state of Oregon, for example.
II private electric. companies had
gross incomes of s20.0O0.000 year,
the total taxes they would pay today
in support of schools. roads, police
protection, army, navy, etc, would
be nearly 20 per cent OF that sum, or
100000 annually. II the govern
ment's hydro-electric projects now
being developed on the. Columbia
River should earn $20,0O0,000 from
the sale of electricity, this income
would be practically tax exempt un-
der existing policies.
The privileged holder of tax-ex-
empt bonds lodges his tax obliga-
tions. which the masses have to pay.
The governments subsidized tax
exempt industries dodge the taxes
which all other business has to pay. |
Is it any wonder that the cost OF
government. and taxation OF the [
common people rises as the tax (
exempt government borrowings in /
crease. to build bigger and better I
tax-exempt experiments in all parts
Of the United States,
Think it over and see where the
system will lead our nation. e'..'

NEW FINANCING ESSENTIAL

Speaking on the subject of 'Capi-
tai Markets and Business Recovery
Charles r. Gay, president of the New
York Stock Exchange. recently said {:
"The need for expansion, which in
many instances involves the securing
OF new capital through the issuance
OF new bonds or stocks, makes the
security markets o. increasing i'm
portance TO the recovery. 80
THE issuance of new bonds and
stocks in great volume by large
scale enterprises is now essential,
and may not with safety be long de-
ferred tf,we are to avoid substantial
price imitation. Such amounts of
capital are mostly beyond the finan-
cial resources of small groups; and
dependence must be placed upon the
Tree funds of the nations saving
classes If that essential capital is
to be publicly raised. The point
which frequently is not adequate
emphasized is the Importance OF a
continuously liquid security market
as a prerequisite to the initial pur-
chase of securities by the investor.
Funds available for investment are
in large measure the surplus that
people have left out of their incomes
after paying their regular bills.
Such funds are accumulated against
future emergency or contingency,
and must. from their owners view
point, be continuously available. II
there is no way of converting Sc
curities back into cash. not only at
the time they are first purchased.
but always thereafter, the initial pur-
chase of them tends to be precluded."
A security exchange provides a
market for any listed stocks |
and bOnds-a market dominated by
he natural law of supply and de-
nand. And to assure the perpetual I
ion Of such a market, it is essential |
hat the regulations governing it be
air and reasonable. and not OF a ma |
ure that will discourage legitimate /

POLITICAL. HYPOCRISY
TN CALIFORNIA

A notable example Of political hy-
I, pocrisy is found In the recent action
OF the California legislature In pass
| ing revenue bond bill to promote
public ownership of businesses. II
is said that the bills hackers con-
sisted of a ''clamorous minority"
/ The California Constitution, adopt
| ed in 1879, requires a two-thirds
vote by a governmental unit to au-
thorize issuance of general obliga-
tion bonds. The new bill permits al
most any agency of government or
an agricultural association to issue
revenue bonds for electric. gas or
water plants, or for telepragh, tele-
phone and transportation service, by
bare majority vote. The Constitu-
tional structure against this is avoid
ed by a clause In the bill which pro-
vides for a different kind OF 'obliga-
tion." and fits the schemes into dis
trfcts and other agencies which were
unknown when the Constitution was
written. )"
Thus the basic law Of the State is
subtly eircumyented. Even so. there
might be Justification for this II the
people were able to get out of a pub
lei business the way they got into
it-by a majority vote. However,
the writer's of the bill invoked the
aid of the -iof:S--ts----.-. 10 prevent
that by requiring the two-thirds vote
before an enterprise can be discon-
tinuedi The idea back of this is
certainly obvious enough - under
pressure of a momentary enthusiasm.
the voters OF city or county might
give a majority to proposal to put
their government into business. Then
il would be practically impossible !
fo rthem to get out of IT in case the |
enterprise proved a fiasco.
The sponsors of the bill can't JUS |
tify ii as a needed measure to pro-
mote something for which there is
strong popular demand. During the
past few months, there have been
four special elections in California
Francisco, Tulare, Fres-
no ana 0royille-on various mea-
sures to put these communities into
the power business. In every case,
substantial majoritfes voted no.
This incident has national signif-
icance in that it reflects the ambition
Of politicians throughout the land to
destroy heavily taxed private enter
prise and replace it with tax-free,
publicly subsidized government en-
ierprise in furtherance of a socialis-
tic program. In their attempts to do
his they are willing to sacrifice
safeguards.
