NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
QUOTAS

The new deals latest efforts to control the agri-
culture of the nation and dictate to the farmer how
much he may raise and send to the market is head
ed for the United States supreme court, with its
constitutionality attacked by Georgia and Florida
tobacco growers.
There's big crop Of tobacco in these two states
this year. and the new deal government is attempt
ing to tell the tobacco growers they must not even
try to market more than about rs per cent of it.
If they do they will have to pay penalties, which
are being called taxes, which may total as much as
four and half million dollars.
The tobacco growers think this is flagrantly I'M
constitutional and they have attacked the market
ing quotas in the federal courts and have enjoned
the collection Of the penalty taxes.
The suit charges that congress assumed author
ity in passing this law which was not granted it
bv the constitution. 1t alleges that tobacco grow
ing is not an interstate industry and is not subject
to federal regulation.
And it charges that the marketing quotas and
the penalty tax violate the constitution which de-
clares that individuals may not be deprived of life,
liberty and property without due process Of law.
The similarity Of the situation in this and
the cases which brought nvalidaton of the original
AAA lends particular interest to the fight which
the tobacco growers have started.
The outcome will be crucial for the new deal

THE OLD CAPITAL

Mr.. Volgers scheme to build new $15,OOO,OOO
capitol building at Raleigh with PWA funds leaves
US unenthusastic. There is particular need for
a new capitol and there good reasons why the
present building and site should remain the seat OF
state government The building is beautiful one
One Of the most beautiful of its sort in America,
and the chances are that new building wouldn't
be; for it is only now and then that public build
ing in America turns out well. Moreover, the place
is rich in memories, certainly something no new
building could have for long while to come.
But it is not only that the place is beautiful and
stepped in tradition, but that its beauty is exactly
fitted to our ideal notion of North Carolina. Plain
and sober, impressive not through its bigness or
any snowy ornament, but only through its innate
dignity-these are qualities of the building. And
they are precisely the qualities we have always
liked to believe to be those of the Tar Heel state.
Anyhow, the old building makes far better face
for US than any huge new building is likely to do.

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
RY RODNEY pUfcHER.

Rough estimates, officially made.
are that the search for the Clipper
has cost from $500 TO $4,000 a
day. The bulk OF this sum is for
oil burned by ships engaged in the
search. The men on the ships are
paid anyway. The ships them
selves would be either active or
inactive and this type of activity
is considered valuable training eX-
perience for all hands.
The search for Amelia Earhart
in the Pacific stands to date as the
navy's most ambitious and eXpen-
sive effort of this sort. The total
expenditure has never been fig
ured out and the Bureau of Cper-
atoms won't even guess at it, as
no track was kept at the time.
But at one period the Earhart
search was costing at least S5OOO
a day, largely because al the huge
amount Of oil consumed by the
Aircraft Carrier Lexington end
the gasoline used by her planes.
Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, COM
mander-in-chief Of the Aslatlc
fleet, acted automatically and
without instructions when he or
dered Rear Admiral George j,
Meyers at Manila to take all
possible steps to find the missing
Clipper. His superior5 in Wash
ington knew exactly what he
would do under the circumstances.
If such mishap had occurred IN
the Atlantic, Admiral Leahy, CHIEF
of operations, would similarly
have instructed commanding OIL
GERS at New York, Boston, Phlla-
delphia, or Norfolk to throw IN
all their facilities.
A search such as that for the
Clipper proceeds as long as there
is any reasonable hope for rescue;
and perhaps longer. At very
early period in the Earhart search,
naval officers concluded there was
no hope for the gallant Amelia
But the search continued for many
days thereafter. -... 49,.

THE FORCES OF NATURE NEED A
LITTLE TEAMWORK
(Bv BRUCE CATION


ern world is the fact that it is getting to be
SO hard to tell good news from bad.
The U. S. Weather Bureau, for instance,
reports the long period of drouth seems to
be over-for the time being, anyway-and
that for several years to come we ought to
have plenty Of moisture.
The weather seems to run in lOng-range
cycles. There was a bad drOuth period eX-
tending through the first half of the COS
After that the country as a whole had de-
cent weather until 1909, when there was
another drOuth. Then there was another
good spell until about 1880; then six alb
normally dry years-we began to hear
about the dust bowl. and people started
wondering if some of our western grain
areas hadn't better be turned back to buff
falo grass permanently.
Now we are told this last bad dry spell
was just dry spell, after all, and not
permanent climate change. Possibly we
won't have to evacuate large areas, with
the tragedy of ruined farms and homeless
families.
That ought to be classified as good news,
certainly. But before We get too Jubilant
we might as well note that this good news
will bring bad news in its train.
Plenty of moisture will mean bumper
crops. Bumper crops will mean bigger and
bigger export SurpluSes-which, in turn,
will mean lower prices for farm produce.
And if all of this works out as it did be-
fore, we may very we'll get into another
era of declining agricultural purchasing
power, which would eventually bring US
to another Industrial slump, which
Well, we may finally acquire enough
wisdom to break IN that vicious circle and
make abundance a blessing rather than a
problem
But there is no very deplorable sign that
we have that wisdom now, and the way
the Department of Agriculture is cOntinu-
ing to worry about substitutes for the old
AAA representation programs makes it
look as if we may be a long time in getting
it.
Which, in turn, means that what ought
to be bit Of very good news may yet prove
to be an extremely mixed blessing. We
have somehow botched the job of building
a smoothly running human society.
The farm problem certainly ought to be
simpler when nature smiles than when ma
ture scOwls. If it isn't the fault can be no
ones but our own. Now that nature seems
prepared to do her part again, it's time
that we learned how to do ours.

SEA Service stan Correspondents

WTASHINGTON.-Now that reg
w ularly-scheduled mail flights
across the Atlantic are imminent,
and Douglas Corrigan's exploit
has shown that even ill-equipped
amateurs may be hopping off at
any time, with or without official
sanction, does that convert the
navy into just big search-and-
succor organization supported by
the taxpayers?
Phrased that way, such a ques-
lion brings a snort, mingled with
profane explosives, from the ad-
mirals. The question arose as all
possible Pacific naval resources
were brought to bear on the
search for the. missing Hawaii
Clipper with Is men aboard.
In the first place, says the navy,
it's fundamental that all sea-going
vessels help those in distress at
sea. 1t never has occurred to navy
men that this wasn't as applicable
10 aircraft as to surface ships.
In the second place, American
commercial craft flying over the
ocean are under the American
flag, ard it's part Of naval policy
to promote and preserve American
commercial aviation in the same
way the navy has tried TO help
build up the American merchant
marine.
Thirdly, the navy is on close
friendly terms with Pan-American
Anyways and will be with any
other trans-oceanic aviation con-
Germ, because this type of aVia-
ton is considered valuable aux
iliary in case of war.
And if that isn't enough, one is
told, the navy is engaged il
searching for FIVE naval reserve
officers who were on the Hawai-
Clipper and are valuable nava
personnel-as well as pursuing
humane and intelligently self-in'
terested policy
