THE SCHOOL ELECTION

The forces favoring extension of the
public school term won q notable victory
in yesterdays election and are to be con-
graduated on the successful result OF the
contest The rules of the contest, that is
the statute which provides the law under
which such elections are held. and the tao
tics adopted by the opposition in fighting
the proposed tax levy, combined to make
a formidable task for the friends of the
measure The victory is notable on that
account in spite of the narrow margin of
ballots by which the election was carried.
This newspaper believes that common
sense and conservatism will rule in work
ing out the details of nine months public
school system for the Hendersonville dis
trict and that the material benefits derived
in community expansion and upbulldlng
will prove to- be much greater than the
cost of improving the schools. This estl-
mate does not take into consideration the
value of improved school facilities for the
pupils now enrolled and the thousands
who in the years to come will follow IN
their footsteps. 1t is impossible to measure
this value in dollars or, perhaps, to accu-
rately estimate it in any manner. .'
The women of the community, the men,
bers of the Parent-Teacher Association,
the American Legion, and leading citizens
of Hendersonville who combined their et-
forts to carry the election, may rest secure
in the assurance that they have rendered
q public service which will be realized IN
its effects on community life for the future
welfare and advancement of Henderson
Vile and the surrounding country.

THE GREAT AMERICAN HANDsHAKE

The Christian Science Monitor advises any Eu-
ropean lecturer who contemplate American tours
this summer to go into training on the parallel
bars or the flying rings to get some callouses on
their hands and tougher their grip. For Americans
like their NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in politics, business
or improvement of the intellect.
Mrs Roosevelt tells of the president of state
college where she was to speak, who was extreme
" anxious that the First Lady should shake hands
with the members of the audience after each OF
her two lectures-so much that he said, If you
have to cancel anything, I'd rather you shook hands
and didn't give the lecture" ...
Saws The Monitor: There is something very
comfortable and warming and, well. understand
able about shaking hands with lecturer. That is
something you can remember, whether or not you
grasped all nc said about surrealism or Robert
Browning or social uphft or the chronological IN
fluences of the pre-Mayan races in Sonora. Al
though his eyes may not have quite that dreamy
look you thought they had from the back of the
hall. and you may wish his wife would tell HIM to
buy collars of a size that would fit, still hand
shake with a celebrity is something to tell the
people about-if you can get them to lstcn"-

THE RED FLAG FLUNG OUT

The National Economy League is eternally right
Federal spending has become topheavy to the
point of danger and the time is at hand for the
Administration to apply the brakes and diligently
set itself to the task of adjusting public expend
tures to public revenues, to the ultimate end OF
shaving the present national debt down from Its
present perilous proportions.
The red flag has been hung out in this field for
some weeks.
The Economy Leagne merely gives it another
more lusty swing.
Mariner Eccles, governor of the Federal Re
serve Board first broke the news that the financial
status of the government was not what it ought 10
be. and that the danger of initiation was imminent.
Since then members Of the presidents official
family have sounded notes of. alarm to the same
effect, and even Mr. Roosevelt himself let go in his
press conference last week intimations that IN ms
own mind, the situation required some immediate
adjustment. rs 80 -. 70"
The national debt now standing at the highest
peak in the nations history either in times OF war
or peace, figures prominently in the prospects that
an era of initiation is about to descend upon u.s.
Unless the. government Immediately goes about
reducing its expenditures, that debt must, lneyta
bly,, become higher, and the more that is added TO
the load now being carried, even though the ad'
diiton be featherweight in nature, the more immi
nenty looms the danger that at last the final stra"
may be added that will break the camePs back

it isn't fair anyhow to ask people
to listen to anybody make 4 poor
speech"
Probably few persons realize
just what they are asking when
they call on someone to make Il
thoughtful address. Thoughtful
addresses require thought. Rare
is the person who has the ability
and the background to make a
speech hearing without work in
preparation. True enough many
speakers do make speeches with
out having made any preparation.
That is why SO many of the
speeches we hear are not worth
hearing.

"My husband never makes

up clearly as a victory for those
who oppose budgct-balancing
through cuts in relief expenditures
and those who oppose revival or
NRA with its old monopoliStic and
pricc-fXing features.
David Cushman Coylc, author,
economist and close friend Of Ec-
cIes, Celebrates by declaring that
"high prices to organized labor,
organized capital and organized
farmers arc draining the pockets
of the poor"
Heavy income taxes, according
TO the Coylc vicwpoint-which
has come to be widely shared
here-would draw off surplus
income" and keep it from stock
speculation while throwins it to
the poorest classes and thus sus-
tanning mass purchasing power.
They would enable the govern
ment to keep on spending for re-
lief. balance the budget and start
reducing the national debt. Coyle
and others say that's the only way
YOU can avoid imitation and SUBJ
sequent crash. o..
THE administrators friendship
L for organized labor and its de-
sire for higher wage levels are
complicated by the fact that wide.
spread strikes cause decreased
purchasing power, as well as the
fact that corporations further cut
down real purchasing power when
they pyramid the costs Of wage
increases into higher prices. Most
workers have little If any pur-
chasing power while they are on
strike. although any wage IN
creases they get increase their
purchasing power thereafter-if
that isn't offset by rising prices,
Administration emphasis, how
ever will be placed primarily on
the need for keeping price levels
within bounds and for discourag,,
inc inevitable tendencies toward
concentration Of wealth.

w here aren't laying any bets
that the administration won't ask
for new taxes at this session of

RooseveltS cautious "hope" that
now taxes will not be necessary

that he may decide later they are

encourage those who want no new
taxes.
The most powerful factor figur-
ing in the possibility Of increased
levieS, however, is the growing
feeling in high places here that
the only simple weapon by which
the economic system can be kept
in balance is the taxing power.
This isn't merely a visionary or
sentimental notion about sharing
the wealth"
The theory simply is that mass
purchasing power must be kept at
fairly constant level if the coun-
try is to avoid a spiral into de-
preston; that the best way to
achieve that is to put taxes up to
certain level and siphon off sur
plus income and profits so they
ran be poured back to lower-in-
come or no-income groups which
are without purchasing power.
Other methods Of meeting the
threat Of price imitation and COL
lapse have been brought forward.
But taxes have become increas-
ingly a favorite method among
New Dealers who are most artic-
ulate, and sometimes most infiu-

Winning Contract
Sonnysoyings
BY THE FOUR ACES.

4 1NE OF the most interesting Sltua-
tions in contract bidding occurs
when one side has a partial score
and the other is endeavoring to push
them to an unmakable contract Here
the defending team must take full
stock of its resources and ascer-
tain: % Whether the opponets can
actually be set if they are pushed
high enough, and 90 whether the
defenders are likely to incur penalty
that exceeds the value of game. On
the other hand, the team hoping to
win the rubber must say to themselves,
1--WE can be pushed just so far. If
our opponets take too many liberties
with us they are going to be doubled"
The hand below is an Illustration
of some valiant defensive bidding
that almost succeeded:

East's three-diamond bid following
his partners raise in hearts was very
clever, as it indicated that he preferred
that opening in the event that the
opponents obtained the contract.
After South had bid four clubs, West
had dif1icult decision to make. If
his partner actually held 10 cards in
the red suits, four hearts could be
made without difIiculty. West knew
that his partner had had definite
reason for showing his second suit
namely, to indicate the best opening
lead. This must mean that East held
both the ace and king of diamonds.
Hence, West could see that an OPEN
ing lead of that suit would quickly
bring in three tricks.
Vests double brought magnificent
results. After winning the first two
diamond tricks, his partner gave him
ruff. The ace and king of hearts
were then cashed, East led . fourth
diamond and declarer could not pre-
vent the loss of another trump trick.
Thus, East and West, who could have
made exactly three hearts, had refused
to be pushed too high. They had
turned on their tormentors and ex-
tracted N soo-poiut penalty from
them.
