ACCORDING TO predictions of friend and
foe alike, today one of the best equipped men
for the position in the state will take the oath
of office to become Governor of North Carolina.
Mr.. Hoey halls from Shelby, that center of great
men from Western North Carolina, and he is not
the least among the great
He is equipped by education character, and
ability to stand at the front with the great Gov
errors of North Carolina and so far North Caro-
lima has stood at the front in producing Cover
nors who compared we'll with the other At in the
United States.
MIR. Hoey started out as farmer boy who
had to depend on his own initiative to climb the
ladder of success He has turned down United
States Senatorship which was offered him by
appointment and now he takes over the govern
ment of this great state with probably better
knowledge of what he is doing than any man
we have yet had enter the Capitol as business
man and not politician. MIR. Hoey has preached
democracy up and down the land for over thirty
years but it has always been for the other fell
low and never asking favors for himself He not
only knows the leaders in the state and each of
the 100 counties, but he knows the common eve
ry day people too. And as brother-in-law of
former Governor Max Gardner, he will be quite
at home in the Governors Mansion.

ACCORDING TO ALL reports, Mr.. Ehring-
haus is not sorry to quit the Governorship OF
North Carolina. He feels that he has discharged
his duties of state to the best of his ability and
even his foes will admit that he has been con-
scientious in all of his public acts.
In stating that Governor Ehringhaus will be
remembered for his sound fiscal policy, the
Charlotte Observer says:
Governor Ehringhaus inherited situation
when he took office that was thoroughly dis
quieting-a situation that circumstances made
unavoidable.
"He came into the Governrship when the
bottom was fairly we'll out of everything and
North Carolina owed millions of dollars in New
York which it couldn't pay, not having the mon
ey with which to lquidate this account.
"And to make matters worse, the New York
banks, as banks generally over the country at
that moment were doing, were calling loudly
for debtors to come to the quilting with the
cash. Securing the cooperation of North Caro-
lima bankers and having the influence and per-
sonal as well as political prestige of his prede-
cessor, Governor Gardner, to fall back upon,
Governor Ehringhaus began at once the hercu-
lean task of unravelling this problem of owing
around 100000 in New York which was be-
ing called insistently and without compromise.
"Within less than two years, this vexation
was behind the State. The crisis was stemmed.
The New York banks were paid and the credit
of the State saved, and, in the meantime, every
current obligation was being met when due, in
Guiding the millions that go out annually for
debt service.
"And the books of the State will show when
Governor Ehringhaus officially leaves it's service
this week that more than 100000 of surplus
awaits his successor.
"Of course, it has been necessary during
these four years to practice some rather severe
and unpopular economies.
'The schools have had to suffer the agonies
of deep retrenchments, more-far more-than
was desirable, and other curtailments have been
enforced to the end that the financial integrity
of the commonwealth should not be impaired.
"But, considering the circumstance that the
State has maintained it's credit standing in the
financial world and, in fact, is rated as
among the best customers of the banking and
bonding houses, the record of Governor Ehring
haus in this field stands out as an achievement
for which he deserves the thoughtful thankful
ness and applause of all the people of North
Carolina"

A RECENT ARTICLE IN the Saturday Eve
ming Post says that there are SO many Democrats
in Washington that it ought to be permissible
for them to be treated like new litter OF kit
tens-drown the ones that are not needed. That
policy might be a little too drastic since each
one no doubt feels that he is needed, but the big
Democratic majority in Congress this year with
a Democrat for their President has its serious
and dangerous side.
With balanced number of either party in
Congress unwise and unsound measures have
less of chance to be made into laws and each
party can hood wink the public into thinking
that it was the fault of the other. In the present
Congress this cannot be the case Whatever is
passed that is not wise, safe, or popular, it can
be the fault only of the party in power. There
will be no alibing out of it this time. If campaign
promises are broken, it will take Philadelphia
lawyer to shift the blame on some one else.
Like no other time in history has one party
had the opportunity to do great and lasting good,
or become in failure. 1t is great and heavy re-
sponsibility that should not be worn lightly.
AS for our part, we have enough faith in the
President and his supporters to believe that they
will steer the Ship of State through another
four years that will entitle them to the conf
dence that was placed in them on last Novem-
Der fourth.

YcAooI RuAeA and RoadA

SINCE THE ADVENT OF consolidated
schools and the transporting of school children
in buses, country roads in this section have be-
come regular nightmares During deep SHOWS
and the consequent thaws or long rainy periods
like the present, dirt roads will not stand up and
it is almost impossible for buses to travel. Often
they are forced to discontinue travel and schools
have to close for while And when they do
travel they often so route out the road that pri-
vate travel is made next to impossible.
We can't very well go back to the one-teach-
er school and dispense with our buses, nor can
we build hard surfaced roads all at once. We
can give more serious thought and attention to
the roads where the buses are forced to travel

Squirting Consumer
Cooperation

Laws which outlaw fair competi-
tion in retail trade, permit manufac.
turers to establish arbitrary and
possibly excessive retail prices, and
make illegal established trade prac-
tices which tend to reduce the price
spread between producer and con-
sumer. will have one inevitable re-
suit. They will spur the long dor
mant consumer cooperative move
ment in America, to the injury of
Independent stores and small fac
tories.
Consumer ooperatives-which are
based on elimination of profit, ad-
vertising, promotional expense, etc.,
have so far developed very slowly
in this country. The reason for that
is plain: Under a free competitive
system, with different kinds of mer-
chants seeking to outdo each other
in serving the public at a lower
cost, the consumer cooperative has
had no advantages in either price or
standards of service. Legislation
which penalties existing merchan-
dising efficiency, however. can cas-
lily give consumer cooperatives those
advantages.
If that happens, all our estab-
lished retail outlets-chain and in
dependent-will be crippled. Fur
thermore, drastic changes will take
place throughout the business
structure For example. the National
Editorial Association has recently
sent circulars to newspapers point
ing out that consumer cooperatives
dc not advertise-and that If these
cooperatives supersede existing re-
tailers. the papers will be dealt
serious financial blow. In a dozen
and industries. consumer
would wreck similar
havoc
If consumer cooperatives can
find a place and grow under free
system, they are entit-
led to do so. No type of retailing
should be penalized-and at the |
same time none should be favored.
Free competition gave America the
best and most efficient stores in the
the current legislative |
trend is threat to our existing re-
all industry, as well as TO the con-
sUmer.

Biologists FoILoIU Ducks
To Arctic Nesting Sites

This summer the Biological Sur
vey, United States Department of
Agriculture, may have three biolo-
gists in widely separated regions
north of the Arctic Circle investi-
eating nesting conditions of wild
ducks and geese. Mean time other
investigators of the Survey will be
covering nesting areas farther south.
One biologist, Charles E. Gillham,
after reaching Fort McMurray, AL
berta, plans to go by plane In a
northeasterly direction to the Arctic
coast. Waterfowl Investigations have
never been made in this region, and
Mr.. Gillian believes IL may contain
the nesting grounds of the Ross
snow goose-the only species of
North American Waterfowl whose
nest has never been found.
Harold S. Peters will accompany
the Arctic expedition of Comdr. Dom
aid B. Macmillan and on reaching
the Labrador Peninsula and Baffin
Island will study the Atlantic brant
on its nesting grounds. While there
he also will study nesting conditions
of the snow goose and the blue goose
as well as some of the sea ducks.
Atlantic brant have been seriously
affected in recent years because of
the continued shortage along the At /
lantic coast of their principal food.
eelgrass. No open hunting season
was allowed on these birds in the
United States last year.
After covering nesting areas in
British Columbia, Luther J. Gold
man plans to go into northern Al
berta or Yukon to investigate the
breeding grounds that produce
large number of birds using the Pa
,ific fiyway.
Studies of waterfowl nesting reg
ons in both Canada and the United
States have been carried on by the
Survey for several years. AT the end
If each season the reports of the
ield parties are analyzed and corre-
ated with data on preceding fall and
pring migrations and with nation
vide inventories made in midwinter.

Admittedly, the Wagner Act is one
sided-it puts responsibilities of
many kinds upon employers, and
few upon labor. The Supreme Court
spoke of this fact in upholding the
Act. but said there was nothing in

from passing one-sided law. So far.
the Wagner Act has certainly failed
in preventing strikes-but in fair

AS a result, the adequacy of the Act
remains in question, and is yet to he
proved. General opinion holds that
the Act must be extensively revised
if it is to achieve real success.

The business outlook remains mix
ed. Strikes are a retarding and de-
pressing factor. Security values
have tended downward. with a few
sporadic and inconsequential rises.

1896 national income was $63.799.-

mo law can diminish the salary
of a public officer after his appoint
ment during his term of Office; if
the said office continues and is not
abolished by the legislative act.
There is constitutional restriction
against the enactment of law
which in effect would deprive the
holder of a public office. to which
he had been appointed. of all COM
pensation during the remainder of
his term as this would constitute a
elimination of his salary or emolu
nients during his term of office.
THE Constitution has provided
foi the removal of public officers by
the Governor and a constitutional
provision has precedent over sta
tutory provision. The fundamental
law may permit a salary diminution
after appointment to Office but no
legislative act can authorize such
and be constitutional. Needless to
saw this constitutional provision ap-
plies to all public officers whether
