Expresses Keen
Interest In No. 16
Hopes 1t Will Be Gone OF Finest
Roads In Western Carolina"
Asks Cooperation.
MEETING SAT. NIGHT

In letter received this week by
the executive committee of the
Highway Number 16 Improvement
/ Association, Commissioner j. Cor
don Hackett, of North Wilkesboro,
! expressed a keen interest in the
proposed regarding and hard surf
acing of thiss important state high
way and requested the association
to cooperate with the Highway
Department in securing the right
ofway.
From the interest your organi-
cation seems to have in this road,
I am sure you will take pleasure
in securing the right-of-way," M.
Hackett wrote. "This cooperation
on your part with the State High
way Commission will do much to
facilitate the work. AS the new
road practically follows the pres
ent road, I am sure you can Sc
cure the right-ofway without any
inconvenience or costs. We are in
closing blanks for this purpose"
And he closed with this enthusi-
astic statement, hoping we will
all cooperate in our efforts to make
this one of the finest roads in wes-
tern North Carolina, I am ="
In line with this request, the ex-
ecutive committee has called a
meeting which will be held at the
Riverview high school Saturday
night at 7:3O o'clock. All parties
Concerned are expected to BE pres
ent.
In reply to Mr.. Hackett's letter,
Chairman Wade E. Eller wrote the
following letter this week:
with reference to your letter of
the 9th inst. to our Improvement
Association, I wish to advise a
called-meeting will be held next
Saturday night, Dec. 4th at River
view School, The Association would
welcome the presence Of yourself
or any person designated to repre-
sent you and the State Highway
and Public Works Commission.
"The request you make of us will
be taken up at this time and the at
titude Of the Association de-
termined.
eve thank you and your asso-
ciates for the consideration already
given this important matter. We
shall hope to have the occasion to
thank you for your full and final
decision at an early date.
Il think I can safely assure you
now of every possible bit of prac-
teal cooperation by the Highway
No. Is Improvement Association in
so far as they can go to facilitate
the work"
The Improvement of No. Is is of
the greatest Importance to all of
Ashe, county. It is a major de-
velopment in the County's system
of roads. 1t will help to consoli-
date the business interest of the
County and center them at home.
The valley through which this road
runs bids fair to show great de-
velopment. The region affected is
approximately one-third of the
county.

That will be the least France and England should do; but they
would be jus flied in intervening with force to prevent a Fac

The Germans are all "wet"s their battleahip, as a patrol
ship was out of place, in a Spanish post. The parol ships
were dree. ed by International agreement to stay out of SPANS

off any at ack by the government against the rebels,-and when
government planes appeared, the Germans, feeling secure on

were attacked by the Germans. and of course replied to the

Laws Increase Business Overhead

In 1917 whenproducers got one dollar for making goods
overhead people got another dollar for THE various services lead
ing up to the sale of goods to the consumer, says Professor
Walter Rautenscauch of Columbia. But in 1882 when producers
got one dollar; o~verheaders got So 80 increases in distribution
cost occur naturally as an industrial civilization develops, more
m~achine-made products are used, and the system necessary to
bringisg goods to the people scattered about a great nation be-
comes more involved. But it is essential to the w~ell-being of
the people that the increases be restricted as much as posi-
bic, and overhead costs between producer and Consumer be at
a minimum. Yet there has been a veritable rush of legislation
lately whose inevitable result would be to increase the burdn
Of ovrhead, and widen the cost spread from farm or factory to
home and place of busisess.
This legislation takes various forms. Some penalties large
scale merchandising practices which reduce overhead charges
to the vanishing point, and throws protection of law around
the middleman, ewes though in some cases he may be ineff-

lowcost retail distribution agencies, and thus place a premium
on waste and a burden on efficiency. Still other laws legalize

MEDICINE IS WORSE
THAN THE DISEASE

During their current sessions,
legislatures in twenty-nine states
have been asked to consider bills
which would compel motor vehicle
owners to take out bodily injury
liability insurance. No n %quarrels
with the intent of this kind of le-
gislation. It is intended to give a
practical and certain means of re-
dress to persons injured in motor
accidents. There are many cases on
record, according to the Assocla-
ton of Causality and Surety Exc
cutives, where lack Of some public
protection against the accident evil
has worked hardship on innocent
parties and their dependents.
Nevertheless, the compulsory
automobile insurance law has not
proven a remedy. 1t fails to accom-
plish in practice what it promises
in theory, as ten years of exper-
ience has shown the people of
Massachusetts-the only state
where such a law exists. In the
Bay State motorists complain OF
the high cost of liability insurance;
in many cases it is from so to 100
per cent higher than formerly. In
surance companies point to the ex.
cessive cost and frequency of
claims Racketering in taking, fraud
ulent and exaggerated claims is

Congress May Serve the Nation

The national administration realizes that the tax ~ IN
distributed corporate earnings has been a failure, said Repre-
sentative Emanuel CeAer, Democrat of New York, recently. It
was passed as a revenueraising measure, he stated, and we
all know all it accomplished was to make corporations de-
|plete their reserves. The goversment got virtually no income
from 1t, and business was harmed. Congressman Celler has in
troduked a measure to amend the tax, and If the experts are
followed, it viii be passed. I. II. Parker, treasury authority
on taxation, has pointed out his department has received q
large amount of correspondence complaining Of the effects of
the tax-and that almost all of it has come from small, not
large, corporations which found the tax made it next to i'm
possible for them to expand their plants and buid up finan-
cal reserves. Senator Harrison, Chairman of the Senate FL
nance Committee, has expressed himself in favor of tax reyls-
ion to give relief to debt-ridden corporations, and encuroage
plant rebuilding and modernizaton. The late Senator Robinson,
majority leader, spoke on behalf of modification of the law
so that investments in new enterprises would be encouraged.
Secretary Morgenthau, in a letter to the president concerning
tax policies, said that tax changes should be made IN order to
remove inequities and help industry. Jesse Jones, chairman OF
RFC, declared that he would like to see an amendment to tins
act that would encourage expenditures for modernization of all
character; for replacement of plant, machinery ind equipment,
cts. Probably no item on the congressional calendar would do
so much to encourage business, to increase the spending power,
and to provide new opportunities for employment as Mr.. Cell
|er's bnlto modify the mdistribtted earnings tax. Congress will
do the country a major service if it passes the measure this
term, thus encouraging new jobcreating expenditures

ize. The opposite, if anything, is
true! Under a system where all
vehicles must be insured and
where outside influences rather
than business judgment control the
acceptance or rejection of ques-
tonable risks, the reckless driver
does not fear an inability to secure
insurance.
Indeed, in the opinion of author
tiles, the compulsory automobile
liability insurance law has created
evils and abuses far greater than
those it sought to correct. The me-
dicine has been worse than the dis
