idge.
New Deal experts are said to be
working on the plan to reduce the
I. c, G. and the F. T. c. to the
status Of judicial tribunals and tc
move the initiating power and the
investigationa1 power over into
some executive department.
When this was proposed by
Colonel Donovan it was opposed az
reactionary scheme to please the
utilities.
When it is trotted out by the
New Deal, it will have the BAN
ners of liberalism flying over it
it viii be called radical or liberal
or progressive and all the liberals
who held up their hands in horror
at Colonel Donovan's suggestion
will throw their hats in the air for
it under Roosevelt.
Those who oppose this old Dono-
van-Coolidge scheme will be called
tories 81.
This is one of the reasons it Is
so difficult to follow the course OF
liberal and conservative policy and
why no one can trust a label on
political scheme any more than on
bottle of bootleg liquor
Regulation has had a pretty
sorry career in this country If its
record has been bad it is because
the executive department has in
terfered for political or business
or even worse reasons.
If the regulatory bodies are
made mere judicial bodies Just a
collection Of hair-splitting and
doing old gentlemen in robes--it
means the end of regulation.

TIME WILL TELL

Well, if old Ironpants Hugh S. johnson and Da-
vid Lawrence think it's all right maybe we are
wrong. These two are given to suspectng the
worst of the New Deal, but surprisingly enough
they or less clapped hands at the prospective
appointment of Harry Hopkins to Commerce, which
came off yesterday Their theory is that the con-
tact with business men and the actual comprehen-
sion of their problems will be good for Harry and
be good for Business too, in that it will supply
what it has never had during this Administration
representative in the councils who speaks the
New Deals language and who has ready access to
the presidential ear.
Nevertheless, it is with considerable misgivings
that we stow our cynical expectations and hope for
the best Not, to be sure, that we went so far
as to think that Harry Hopkins had horns, or that
ne wasn't one of the most capable executives at the
New Dears command But he is, by nature and by
ms whole training, governmental executive. That
is, ne is used to doing business by the right OF emil
nent domain, without competition. Not only that
ne has worked all his life for some government OF
other without ever having been elected to slngte

WHEN Col. William Donovan Of
w New York was assistant at
torney general in the Coolidge
administration, he had a bright
idea for recognizing the Federal
Trade Commission and the Inter-
ctate Commerce Commission.
His plan was to divide the
functions of each commission in
to regulatory and judicial.
He proposed the Federal Trade
Commission, for instance, should
have no power to institute pro-
ceedings against business enter
prises; that the power to do that
should be lodged with an officer
of some sort who would act az
part OF the executive branch of
the government.
The commission would ba /.
mere tribunal which would hear
the case and render a decision He
Also proposed the same procedure
with reference to the utility req
ulatory commissions.
The plan was hailed with great
SATISFACTION by the utilities. the

posat which tends to cripple It.

When l started back toward
the bedroom with the cat he evi-

securely in the crook Of my arm

to the door and reached for the

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
SCIENTISTS TOPIC

"Christian Science" was the
subject of the lesson-sermon in
! all Christian Science churches and
societies on Sunday.
The golden text was from 1sa-
iah 9:2: "The people that walked
in darkness have seen a great
light: they that dwell in the land
of the shadow of death, upon
them hath the light shined."
Among the citations which
comprised the lesson-sermon was
the following from the Bible: 81
have yet many things to say I'M
to you, but We cannot bear them
now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit
of Truth, is come, he will guide
you into all truth; for he shall
not speak of himself; but whatso-
ever he shall hear, that shall he
speak; and he will shew you
things to come. He shall glorify
me: for he shall receive of mine,
and shall shew it unto you"
John 16:12-14).
L HS iSSSOi-ScI inOH also lnCluQ-
ed the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
"Our Master said, But the Com
forter shall teach you all
things When the Science Of
Christianity appears, it will lead
YOU into all truth. Those, who
are willing to leave their nets or
to cast them on the right side for
Truth, have the opportunity now,
as aforetime, to learn and to
practice Christian healing. The
Scriptures contain it. The spin
itual import of the Word imparts
this power" (page 27D.,

me to solicit my order for SIS

Monday. He has served year.
The election should have taken

over for collection on that date in
stead of the first of October, as here
Aofore.
The past year is the first in which
the county has had a sfull-time tax
collector, the work having thereto
fore been done by the sheriff.
Mr.. Dorsey reported to the COM
missioners Monday that he collected
during October total of $22,527. 80 in
taxes, including cerdits of $215.28 in
discounts and .$102.13 in rebates, with
small amount. of licenses and fees
and the like.
Jailor w. S. Strange reported to the
commissioners that during October
695 Jail days were served by prison
ers committed to his care, and at the
end of the month there were % pri-

Little Interest Evident Il n +.

Democratic County
Ticket Has No Opposi-

May Fare Badly Here

An unusually light vote was belnS
cast in the general election here today,
and very little interest was manlfest
anywhere in the city or the county,
according to information from the
polling places.
Public apathy in the voting was due
to the fact that there was no opposi-
ton to the Democratic county ticket,
which was assured of election, and
there was no fear on the part of any
of the Democratic leaders that any
Democrat on the ticket being voted in
the county, either state or district,
was in any danger whatever.
The only issue being voted on here
that carried any feeling of uncertain
ty whatever, was that of two proposed
constitutional amendments, one pro-
viding for the election of sheriffs and
coroners at four-year intervals instead
of two-year intervals as at present.

a State department of justice. Senti-
ment was divided on these, and it was
impossible to determine what their
fate would be in this county.
Polls opened at sunrise and closed
at sunset here and throughout the
State. The day was without rain, and
during the forenoon the sun shined
most of the time, although skies
were overcast during most of the aft
ernoon.
Most voters cast their ballots for
the straight Democratic ticket, and
there was very little scratching, so
far as could be learned. Some hazard
ed the prediction that Charles "A.
Jonas, Republican candidate for the,
United States Senate, would lead his
own party ticket in this county, but
there was no one who believed he
would carry the county or come any
where near to carrying it. Jonas, and
Willis Briggs, opposing Congressman.
Harold D. Cooley for reelection, were
the principal Republicans whose
names appeared on the ballots, al
though there were a few Republicans
on judgeship tickets.

MRS. f. R. AUSTIN
QUITS HER OFFICE
Az
Welfare Superintendent Re-
tires Dec, Is; Success
sor Not Named

Mrs. e. r. Austin, who has served
Vance county as welfare superinten-
dent for the past three years or more,
rendered her resignation from that
office to the Vance Board of County
Commissioners Monday, and made it
effective as of December Is.
In her letter of resignation, Mrs.
Austin did not give any reason for
resigning. Her letter was laid before
the board by Chairman Samuel M.
Watkins. In it she thanked the board
for its cooperation and helpfulness
to her in the discharge of her duty
during the period of her service.
The board accepted the resignation
with regret, but took no immediate
steps to name a successor. Three
members of the present board go out
of office at the December meeting
on the first Monday, and it was in
dicated that the three new members
of the incoming board will be con-
suited in the matter of selecting q
succe1or. Two commissioners hold
over for two more years before their
terms expire.
Mrs. Austin's husband died Monday
morning after long illness, but her
resignation was delivered prior to his
death, it was understood.
She is president of the district well
fare society, which holds it's annual
convention here on Wednesday before
Thanksgiving, at which time she was
to preside. She will still be in office
at that time, and will continue for
several weeks to December Is before
giving up her duties.
