ECONOMIC HICHLIGHTS
Happenings That Affect the Dinner Pals, Dividend
Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individual; Ma
tiOnal and International Problems Insep-
arabic From Local Welfare

With few exceptions, the pres
ent Congress has neither accept
ed nor rejected any legislative
proposals of Importance. (The
exceptions include the passing of
bills extending the life of the
REC until July 1, 1899; renewing
the Presidents authority to execute
reciprocal trade agreements; re-
newing his power over dollar de
valuation, and providing for the
voluntary retirement of Supreme
Court Justices on full pay at the
age of TOY. This congressional
inertia is principally due to the
judicial reorganization proposal,
which is commanding the full time
and interest of the bulk of con-
gressmen. But, sooner or later,
Congress vii, have to get around
to other items on its calendar
and weigh proposals touching al
most every phase Of industry,
commerce and agriculture.
The status OF major proposed
legislation was recently summed
up by the Capitol Daily. 1t shows
that many bills are still in Com
mittee, though number have been
reported out and have passed one
House or another. Notes on some
OF these bills follow:
Coca While House sponsor
ed bill to make the CCC a perm
anent instead of an emergency
agency has been introduced ia the
House. 1t viii probably become
law with little opposition. The CCC
is one New Deal project which has
received almost unanimous en-
dorsement.
Coal Control-Senator Guffey
has introduced bill which would,
indirectly, subject the soft coal
industry to a "little NRA." A
Federal coal commission would be
established and would create a
code concerning marketing, work
ing hours, labor relations, etc. All
companies subscribing to the code
would be taxed II percent of the
sale price of their coal. Non
members would be taxed Is per-
cent. Thus, joining the code
would be voluntary" in theory
but ruinously expensive for a
company to stay out. Has good
chance to pass.
Licensing of Businesses in In
terstata Commercial much-de-
bated proposal to force Federal Ii
censing of all businesses operating
in more than one state has been
introduced in the Senate by SEN
ator 0'Mahoney, and in the House
by Representative Mead. Has rela-
lively poor chance to pass.
Crop Insurance-This farm re-
lief measure enjoyed the distinc-
tion of being supported by both
candidates in the last Presidential
election. A bill to create a Fed

Peele, who was greatly de-
lighted over catching such an

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
EXPLOITING THE SCHOOL CHILD

Shrewd out-of-town business firms have invaded
the state-run public schools with tempting selling
schemes to further the sale of their products. And
the sad part of it is that teachers who are IN re-
sponsible positions will unthoughtedly allow the
children to be exploited collectively in any such
manner.
These selling schemes come from seed and pub
LEGATION houses. They will come later from hrms
who make shoes candy, patent medicines, soap ana
tooth brushes Once the school children become
sales agents for books, periodicals ana seeds, the!
lay open the gap to be approached by the medicine
man and carnival promoters. If they work concert
edly for publishing house in New York, they are
even more obligated to take on any sales PROPOSE
ton offered by North Carolina firm in any line
of business which pays taxes to support the state
schools.
We admit that an individual child has right to
sell any legitimate product his parent might allow
on his own responsibility, but when an organized
body of school students take to the streets as PED
dlers upon the approval and encouragement OF the
teachers they are neglecting the purpose for whch
the schools are operating. Such outside duties are
a serious detraction from school work and should
not be permitted
True the schools need some equipment not pro
yidcd from the public treasury. These needs are
not so great, however, but what they can De oo-
tanned by other means rather than allow the school
children to work for some foreign firm which IS
interested solely in the money it gets from the
child's efforts among its friends in the community
1t is going on all over North Carolina and Is a
growing handicap to the most effective school work
When high pressure salesman comes around and
shows that other schools take on this plan, it is
quite natural for others to follow, so in order to
end threatening menace to the school work, some
decree should be handed down from Raleigh school
authorities 1t is dangerous to establish bad pre-
cedent in any school for temporary gain-SheIoy
