ton is to foster cooperation be-
tween mems and women's groups
in the promotion of community
welfare. Here is an opportunity
for the organization in a very con
crete way to exemplify the mean
ing of its slogan, "The BUSINESS
Women as a Citizen" by leading
or playing an active part in wor-
thy community enterprises.
Never in all history have wo-
men exercised q greater influence
than they do today. They feel
they must use this strength to
bring about cooperation and
good feeling among members Of
their own organization, and to
conciliate and draw together op-
posing factions, to discover points
Of agreement, rather than,
through intolerance and misrep-
resentation, create ill feeling and
antagonism between opposing
groups. They as business and pro.
fessional women, who have pied.
ged themselves to the scientific
approach to social and economies
problems, feel they should set ar
example by their fairness and
willingness to compromise.
Women have definitely taken
an important step forward. The
National Federation of Business
and Professional Women's Clubs,
representing $1,000 leading wo-
men in their fields Of work, is an
organized force with a program
and a background that makes it
possible for it's members to play
an important role in determining
the destiny of this country. 1t is
their duty to take an active part
in community and national affairs
they believe.

TELEPHONE PROJECT

Members of the Gamma Club,
federated women's club, are spon
soring a project to secure for
Durant the flash system for the
telephone and abolish the old
hand-signal device. 1t will be
necessary to secure the signatures
of ninety-five per cent Of the
business subscribers for a SOC
monthly increase in telephone
service in order to secure the

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
so THIS is CRAFTSMANSHIP

No better illustration of what the coutry gets
when its chosen representatives in congress fill
buster and trade votes and log roll could not be
found than in the current struggle to enac. some
kind of farm bill Until southern cotton farmers
have some idea about the agricultural SYSTEM the
federal government will sponsor there is no
ance that needed stability can be obtained in the
coming year. Representatives know this as well as
do the farmers. Eastern bocs have formed in the
House determined if the Associated Press estimate
of the Houses temper is correct, to hamstring the
cotton section of the farm bill because southern
representatives employing the same tactics refuse
TO allow q vote on the wage and hour bill. If OBJ
struction works in one case to impede measure
it will work in another case And if it is danger
Gus and unstateSmanke for the court TO be packed
by technical methods in one instance, il is danger
Gus to employ such methods in any legislation.
If voters will recall that the congress in 1880
that wrote the Smoot Hawley tariff bill, another of
the products of vote trading and log rolling be-
comes all the more obvious. 1t enacted in the
senate by Democratic support, although the bill
was contrary to principles of the party and detri-
mental to the needs of southern farmers. 1t could
not have been passed except by swapping and vote
pedging. And whatever animuS there was recov-
cry in business in 1880, the Smoot-Hawley tariff
did as much as anything to destroy it.
Now the House is engaged in war between
representatives Of the thickly populated industrial
east and the cotton producing south. The need for
some sort of Clarifying farm legislation is essen
tial But the people who suffer most from the
are the people who must live and work under the
pending laws-Shelby Star.

NOTE ON EDUCATION

The education of John L. Lewis obviously pro-
ceedS apace.
II was not so many months ago that Mr. Lewis
advanced 100000 to politicians from whom it is
most reasonable to presume he expected services
in return. The politicians and their candidates
whom he supported at the polls were supposed to
make everything hotSy-totsy for the c. |, o. chief
and his legions There can be no denial of faith
when it is demonstrated in such substantial finan-
cia manner
But the months have passed. That for which Mr..
Lewis hoped and trusted has not come to pass. In
stead the c. l. 0. leader finds himself calling upon
the congress to cease milling around and do some
thinking about how Americans are going to be pro-
tccted in their right to work"
Thus faith to the tune of 100000 worth degen-
crates into doubt and Skepticsm Mr.. Lewis APP
pears o. the point of realizing that politicians are
just that way, that they cannot bring the millen-
MUM If they wish and that definite and expensive
intrustments are gone like the wind when popular
opinion shifts in its vote-aSsuring propensities.
Heaven is not to be acquired or established by
passage of a law; nor is it the upward path which
is paved with politicians promises
And such learning unless we miss our guess, Is
ftering into a lot of heads besides Mr.. Lewis

ALL SMALL FAVORS

With $4,000 workers insured and fund of
neraly So 900, 900 out of which benefits may be
paid North Carolina might conclude with aplOmb
that il was in forehanded shape to meet period
of severe unemployment. As matter of fact, how
ever little simple arithmetic will show that,
though unemployment compensation may be saw
ing grace to thousands of individuals in the next
few months in the aggregate it is but sop to
adversely.
1t is quickly done. Divide 100000 workers into
nearly $S,OOOOOO and you have reserve of only
S2l. so man. But, of course, not all the workers
are going to be unemployed. The state commission
expects TO begin writing only some 100000 checks
after benefits become payable in January, next
year. All right; make the reserve $50 man. At
the maximum of SIS per week, all the taxes gar
nered so far from all North Carolina payrolls
would support these 100000 persons no longer
than five and fraction weeks.
These figures show, we believe that there is no
substitute for job preferably full-tme job. It's
just another illustration of our utter dependency
upon the state of business. It's got to be good

UP GOES THE HOWL.

Starting government spending is easy but stop
ping it is of the most difficult of tasks TO be
found in complex world.
Hosts of citizens, including many members of
the congress- have been urging reduction in ex-
pendtureS. Along comes President Roosevelt and
in agreeable compliance he suggests that begin
ming be made in that direction by cutting down on
federal highway aid to the states.
What happened next is the old story: wall goes
up the country over from highway authorities and
from citizens hopeful of securing state and local
road improvements.
Cut expenses, they urge, but cut somewhere
else; cut highway appropriations never!
So it will be with every economy rtcommenda-
ton the president makes.
The only way to reduce government costs is to
reduce them, and that means reducing our pet
projects along with the rest.
If we are unwilling for that to be done all of
our pleas for governmental economy are worse
than hollow words.-Greenville Piedmont.

WASTED LIFE WORSE THAN WASTED
MONEY
(By BRUCE CATION

Every once in while the erratlc prog
ress of city life turns up someone like that
aged recluse who died in New York the
other day. his apparent poverty contradict
ed by bank accounts totaling $4,000.
This man was so years old and for 16
wears he had lived alone in a $10-a-week
hall bedroom. He had no friends no rela-
tives and no evident pleasures; to all APP
pearances he was simply an old drifter
who had Just enough money to cling to his
obscure little niche and browse away his
remaining years.
But when he died, people began to find
out things about him.
They found out that he was rich-rich,
at any rate, by comparison with his penny
pinched surroundings. He had a past, of
some kind; his rooms contained the sort OF
books that are read only by persons of cul-
ture and education. and apparently he had
at one time been an active business man
whose recreation was big game hunting in
the far-of parts of the world.
But something had made him burrow
into his shell, in the last Is years of his
life And when he died he presented his
fellOw-citizenS with that familiar but ever
battling puzzle of man who has money
but does not know how TO turn it TO any
sensible use.
There have been good many people
like that; aging miSerS who lived timOr-
ouSly and doled out their pennies, fearful
", DENYING themselves the comforts their
money could buy them and carefully hoard
ing useless dollars In bank or strong box.
They always leave us perpleXed, and
vaguely irritated. Their lives seem so point
less their desperate frugality so wasted.
Yet the real puzzle in this particular
case goes deeper.
This old chap wasted that 100000 hoard
of his just as truly as if he had played
ducks and brakes with it like the youth in
the fairy tale. Yet a waste of money is not,
after ALL one of the principal crimes; if a
man happens to have aScetic tastes and
wants nothing that his money can buy him,
living like a miser is only minor eccen-
tricity.
The real riddle lies in the old gentle
mans retirement from life. 1t is what he
did with his last 16 years, rather than what
he did with his concealed wealth, that con-
Stitutes the mystery.
+ Some of us may be a little confused
about what happens after we quit this
world, but we are all tolerably certain that
we have but one life to live here, and that
it behoOves us to invest it in the best way
possible. There is no return any richer than
the return one year of a well-invested life
can give. Its values cannot be expressed in
terms of cash, for they are beyond money
and beyond price.
They come like insignificant things
friendships, loves, the little unrecorded hui
man contacts that drive away life's unbear-
able loneliness, the chances to do things
for others, the comradeship that gives one
q feeling of being part of an infinite and
splendid progression. We pay for them by
taking our chances in the hurly-burly of
life-and though the cost is often bitter,
they are we'll worth the price.
The man who turns his back on all of
this presents the deepest Of all mysteries.

Norris and Rankin sponsor a Dill

Observation-Disclosures net re-
w suit of conferences between
Roosevelt and public utility exec
utives Is simply this: II there is q
demand for more electric power,
the utilities will spend money to
expand their plant, If there isn't,
they won't.
And that's exactly where mat
terS stood before Mr.. Wendell L..
Willkie of the Commonwealth and
Southern Corporation ard Mr..
Floyd L. Carlisle OF Consolidated
Edison Company called at the
White House.
Private power companies have
sufficient facilities to meet the
present electricity demand. Ordi-
narily the demand for electric
power increases steadily, but if the
business recession continues, the
demand will be less.
Best estimates here are that the
utilities might spend between
S6O0,OO0,000 and $800,o00,000 on
expansion in 1888 if they became
convinced and were subsequently
treasured that the business curve
would soon turn and climb upward
again.
Rumors that a billion and a half
dollars might be spent on utility
construction-if the industry could
be imbued with confidence" by a
change OF administration power
policy--seem 10 have been Slightly
exaggerated. But Roosevelt heard
them and called in the utility men
to tell them they were crying over
unSpilled milk.
The President explained that
government power projects were
going to cover very limited field.
He suggested lower electricity rates
and a utility building program to
