WHERE TO TRADE

'I'd rather trade with an up-to-date, enterprs-
ing merchant than conservative back-number any
time" friend of ours observed the other day.
"You usually get better dea-you get up-to-
date merchandise-you get more careful service"
he elaborated. We have given the matter some
thought and have concluded that he is right and
that there is a reason for this observation.
The enterprisng merchant can offer better val
ues, because he keeps his capital at work. He can
offer up-to-date merchandise because he does not
carry stock over from season to season. He is out
for business and therefore must give better serv-
ice to get it,
Incidentally he finds that advertising fits direct
" into his scheme of operations. 1t is the one
medium by which he can tell the public what he
has to offer-Lenoir News-Topic.

TELL US MORE

We are all for economy, of course, and have
harped upon that refrain for full many day and
month and year Nevertheless our impulse, on first
learning that the House Appropriations committee
has reduced from five millions 70 three the amount
to be allotted to the Blue Ridge Parkway North
Cardinals major federal project is to cry out,
Not that! Not that!
But by superhuman effort the protest is stiied
We must resign ourselves to practicing what we
all have been preaching, and if economy starts on
the Parkway, let it. Only, senators and represen-
tatives, be sure that it doesn't end there. We are
for economy but not spotty economy. If North
Carolina is to be denied the early completion of
its Parkway it is only fair for Kentuckans in the
Tennessee Valley to wait while for their $112'

WASHINGTON. - During such
w an incredibly dull period in
Congress as the last few weeks
AVE been, with leaders hard put
% provide even a prctcnSe of ac-
tivity, it was not too much to hope
that some worthwhile measure,
which otherwise wouldn't have
had a chance, might be dragged
into the arena.
Probably the nearest thing to
realization of such a hope is the
fact that the proposed election eX-
penditureS act, a measure intro
duced by Senator Gerald p. Nye
of North Dakota in 1881, will soon
come before Senate committee
for hearings.
Convinced that a lot of things
were wong with the election ma
chinery, Nye consulted some dis
tinguiShed political scientists and
prepared measure TO replace the
present corrupt practices act. This
is the first you've heard OF it since.
THE Eye bill would prohibit eN-
l. pcnditure of more than $780,
900 toward the nomination of a
candidate for President, and OF
more than S5,OOO,O00 by a politi-
cal party for a presidential CAM
paign.
The top limit of election cam
paign expenditure for senatorial
candidate would be $4,000, and
for a candidate for the House OF
Representatives, $4,000. The same
limits would apply on congress
sional candidates in their cam
paignS for nomination. But no
congressional candidates name
could appear on the election bal
lot if there had been expenditures
on his behalf of more than four
cents per vote, if candidate for

LIQUOR CONTROL FLOP DUE TO
CARELESSNESS
(By BRUCE CATTON)

The American people can always be re-
lied on to make a reform when a reform
is due. Unfortunately, once the reform is
made they lose interest in it. They behave
like a man who, setting out a new plant in
his flower garden, goes away and trusts to
luck that Mother Nature, unaided, will
keep it watered and chase the cutworms
away from it.
The great state of Ohio is providing
significant example of this right now in
connection with its handling of the liquor
traffic.
Like other states, Ohio repealed its pro-
hibition law when the 18th amendment
died. 1t drew up set of regulations for
the new traffic, appointed divers state
boards and local officials to see that they
were enforced-and then began to think
about something else.
As result, reporter for a large Cleve-
land newspaper who has just finished a
survey of conditions reports that "Ohio is
weaving drunkenly down the path back to
state prohibition
Prohibition came upon us because the
abuses of the old liquor traffic became UNI
endurable. This reporter discovered that
in Ohio those old abuses are being repeat
ed-and surpassed.
Enforcement officials are not enforcing
anything Bars are being permitted to
flourish in residential neighborhoods, near
churches and schools. High school young
sters are being permitted to buy liquor
Night spots are turning into gambling
Joints. The hostess racket" is flourishing
as it neve. flourished in speakeasy days.
Neighborhood cafes are permitted to turn
into rowdy night clubs. Closing hours are
diSregarded.
Now it is fair TO assume that the people
of Ohio did not bargain for anything like
that when they repealed their prohibition
law. Prohibition had created an intolera-
BILE situation. Repeal was an effort to get
the situation under control.
But today, scant four years after re-
peal, control has practically vanished
Why?
The answer is not hard to find. The good
people of Ohio didn't, follow through ON
their reform program. They blithely turn
ed the job of controlling and regulating
the liquor traffic over to the politicians
and then forgot to watch them. And Ohio,
after all, is more or less representative
sample of the country as whole.
We had plenty of regulatory laws in the
old pre-prohibition days. We didn't en-
force them, so we got prohibition. We
didn't enforce prohibition, so we got re-
peal. And now, with new set of regula-
tions, we don't seem to be enforcing them
either.
Is our boosted ability to govern ourselves
breaking down through our sheer unwil-
lingness to be bothered about details?

DRINKING GOATS MILK

makes me REMINISCENT. 1t
takes me back to childhood. My
uncle lived across the branch on
the adjoining farm. He had big
herd of goats, not the pampered
fellows but those that would cat
clothes off the line. They were
bad for jumping the fence and
getting into our field. My uncle
didn't think of milking the goats,
else he would have likely done it.
When he had a tooth for "fresh-
es" he knocked over goat to the
family's delight, but not one of
the nine on our side of the branch
envied them the least because OF
their "toothsomc" dish. We were
reared to dislike goats as NUS

$81 900 this year, with the probability
that this amount will be materially
increased by the time the race meet
opens next Summer.
With general rules for competition

total prize awards will be stepped up
to $4,000 compared with $4,000

WORK RELIEF FUND
CUT IS SFORECAST
Officials Predict Reductions
in Effort to Balance
the Budget.
~ the Associated Press.

l.
Informed fiscal officers predicted to-
day the administration will trim work
relief spending substantially during
the next fiscal year in an effort to bal
Ance the budget.
Hearings on the 1889 budget have
been started by Daniel W. Bell. acting
budget director. President Roo1evelt
will submit estimates to Congress in
January.
The cue for the relief prediction
day by Marvin H. Mcintyre, White
House secretary, saying Mr.. Roosevelt
has made final ALLEGATION under the
1887 public works extension act.
He also has approved Secretary
Ickes' rejection of numerous projects
because applicants were able to
finance them without Federal nelp.
Need for Jobs Decreased.
The statement said need for jobs
provided through the P. w. A. had
decreased with the passing of the
economic extremity. 1t referred also
to the need to curtail the Federal
budget"
Meanwhile P. w. A. officials said
further reductions in personnel will
occur at regular intervals. Reductions
of about 1000 in January and 1000
since then have brought the staff to
about 1000, they asserted, adding that
vacancies developing recently have not
been filled.
Under the law extending P. w. A..
until July /, 1899, the statement said,
Sl7l 900. 900 in grants and loans cover
ing 1883 projects have been approved.
Congressional appropriations records
show the P. w. A. had $3.50, ,000. 900
available for grants and loans under
the extended act.
Thus far during the emergency
period. Government outlays for both
recovery and relief approximately have
matched deficits. Any reduction in
these expenditures, officials said, would
aid materially in bringing expendi-
lures within receipts.
Less Than Billion Required.
Although the Budget Bureau said
no estimate of relief needs for next
year has been made, other authori-
ties asserted less than $1,000, ,O0O, 900
will be required. For the current
year $500. 100000 was appropriated.
So far this fiscal year, all outlays
Tor recovery and relief" have de-
clined sharply, more than offsetting
An increase in expenditures for or
dinary Government operations.
Between July l and September 18,
emergency spending totaled $468, ,000,-

corresponding period year ago.
Spending by the Works Progress Ad-
minbtration fell $l16,O00, 900 to
$2s3 900, 900.
One unfavorable factor in the
TreaAurys fiscal picture, however, has
been a sharp decline in repayments

Between July and September 18
year ago, these agencies took in

FARM PURCHASING
POWER INCREASED
Federal Economists Report
Climb to Levels Before
Depression.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Purchasing power of farmers this
year has climbed to the levels held
Just before the depression, Federal
economists reported today.
They rated the 1887 farm buying
power at 1903 per cent. compared with
an average of 100 for the le24-2e
period. The 104 per cent for 1929
was the highest farm purchasing
power in IA years.
This years rating, the economists
said. is made on the theory that the
important factor of income is not
how many dollars are taken in. but
what those dollars will buy.
Cash farm income for 1887 is esti-
mated at $4,000, 100000 from market
ines Of cotton, wheat, corn. live stock
and other crops plus Government
payments of about $3.50, 100000.
This is considerably below the s10.-
479 1000. 900 income in 1929 and an
average of more than $4,000, ,00o, 900
for the 1924-29 era.
Offsetting this, the economists said.
is lower level of prices Of things
which the farmer buys. They esti-
mated this at IA per cent below pre-
depression levels.
Attainment of the pre-depression
purchasing level is not particularly
favorable sign. according to c. M.
Purves of the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics. He noted the 1920's were
not relatively prosperous for farmers.
The economists said the pre- -depres-
sion period was marked by declining
land values. burdensome mortgage
debt, high taxes and lower prices of
farm products relative to other CON-
modities.
This years income, he added, must
be spread out over a larger number
of people because more persons are
now living on farms than in the
1920's.
