THE COPPER TARIFF
SITUATION IN BRIEF
CONTINUED from Page b

Five years experience with the
copper tax has shown that, while it
has been very beneficial to the cop
per industry and to the people of
copper producing states, as well as
many others indirectly dependent, it
has not been harmful to anyone.
Tariffs are often paid by domestic
consumers because of a higher do
nestle price of the commodity pro-
tected. The domestic copper price,
however, has been consistently in
line with the world price and has
only advanced when forced to do so
by an increase in the world price.
In other words, a healthy and en-
during copper industry has been
created in the United States by the
simple expedient of ~reserving the
United States market to United
States producers but without in
creasing the price of the metal to
United States consumers.
The original enactment of the ex-
else tax was not asked until all
other means of obtaining the same
objective had been tried and failed.
International cooperation in copper
affairs had proven a dismal failure
prior to 1882 but has been effective
since simply because of the copper
excise tax which served to enforce
compliance with agreements.
The reenactment of the copper ex-
else tax in the Revenue Bill of 1887
is of Importance to the people of
every one of the f%orty-eight states,
as it is for the preservation Of a
basic and necessary industry of the

Murderers on Parole
EXCHANGE

(EXchange)
The words of assistant to ]. Edgar Hoover,
the national chief of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation, anent the fatal shooting last week
in Topeka of Federal agent have a sharpness
to them.
"Another parole board made mistake"
he said "Another Federal Bureau of Inves-
ii CATION man paid for that mistake with
his life.'
The parole system generally in vogue
throughout the country, a system by which
prisoners are given leave on the basis of good
behaviour, turns up, ever and anon, with a
fatality of this nature.
But the principle of that system is not to be
cast out only for the reason that on occasions it
is prostituted and because mistakes are made by
Governors and pardoning boards
The major lesson from this tragedy should
strike home however, to these powers that have
the authority in their hands to bind or to let
loose and create with them keener sense of
their obligation to the public and to the serious
ness of their responsibility in releasing prison
ers about whose future careers, as freemen,
there is the slightest misgiving or reservation.

Ashe Left Again

Ashe has been left again. We refer to the
highway commission where Ashe had two can
didates for an appointment, either of whom
could have creditably held the place.
True, there may be something to the fact
that there were two candidates and that lack of
cooperation in deciding on one was hindrance,
but with the choice having to be made it should
not have strained the Governor to have made
such decision had he intended to honor the
county at ALL H-.~~@
After forty years on the Republican side Of
the ledger for Wilkes county perhaps Governor
Hoey did have right to forget the fight Demo-
Gratis make in Ashe during each election and
that he carried the county in each of the two
primaries. He couldn't favor everybody so the
newly converted might as well get the pie. Of
course, the pie may have chance to grow stale
before Wilkes breaks over again. Our only pain
is that we are more often than not on the neg
1ected side of every road appropriation, and it
looks as if we are in fair way to continue as
per usual. Rather than fget5a complex on the
situation, we might try expressing our senti-
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1937-04-29
ments instead of meekly sitting down and let
ting everybody think we are enjoying it. A faint
heart certainly never won anything.
All Club Work

The county agent has succeeded IN starting
number of All Clubs by working through the
school children The work is new and few par
ents know how much benefit it can be to their
children in helping to train them in broader
knowledge of rural life in giving them better
appreciation of the advantages of farm life, and
at the same time in helping them to learn the
economical and practical phases of agriculture
and homemaking.
The parents part in making All Clubs in
teresting and worthwhile is big one.
Through youth organizations of the proper
type we mold the destiny Of our future. Forty
thousand (4O,OOO) rural boys and girls in North
Carolina have joined with million others in
the United States with Heads pledged to clearer
thinking, Hands to larger service, Hearts to
greater loyalty, and Health to better living for
Club, Community, and Country as their STAN
dard and "To Make the Best Better" as their
goal. Somewhere in this group are, or should
be, your boys and girls, if they are between
the age of ten and twenty.
Each club member is required to conduct
demonstration in agriculture or hOmemaking
according to the instructions of the Agricul-
tural Extension Service under the supervision
of the Farm or Home Demonstration Agent, and
agrees to keep an accurate account of the time
and cost of the enterprise
Things worth while require effort and usu-
ally small expenditure of money. For exam
ple for John to successfully conduct pig feed
ing demonstration he should have self feeder,
and a supplement such as tankage or fish meal.
These cost money. Does John have it available?
Mary perhaps will need some cash to buy paint,
wax, ETC.. for refinishing her bed room. Is it
available? These are merely suggestions but it
is fact that every worth while project requires
some financial consideration. On the other
hand, the net profit from the club demonstra-
ton will be in direct proportion to the club
members efforts and ability. But which is
worth more, the inspiration and determination
of your boy or girl or the small amount of
money necessary for the successful completion
of the demonstration.
Ownership is Essential to Thrift. To further
encourage the boy and the girl they should be
given the profits from their work latter all ex-
penses have been deducted). Nothing could do
more to destroy initiative and to discourage
thrift than to be deprivevd of ownership. That
is exactly what happens when Johns calf be-
comes Dads cow and Mary's poultry becomes
Mothers hens.
