HIS DILEMMA

HIS DILEMMA
What is an honest public Of
fetal who has been elected by a
dishonest political machine to do
when he is called on by the ma
chine to countenance or endorse
dirty work, that the machine may
retain it's power and that he may
pay his election debt to the ma
chine?
An honest man is in a sorry
plight when he allows himself to
be put under obligations to dis
honest forces.

Watauga Farmer
Gets Big Yields
From His Crops
Makes Over 1000 Pounds Tobac-
co To Acre. On 20 Acre Farm
Income Is $1,7OO.

Many a f1ue-cured tobacco grow
er would like to have field. of leaf
as good as the hurley tobacco grow
ing on the farm of Thomas L. Will
son in Watauga county.
His crop covering only nine-tenths
of an acre, and now standing as
high as mans head, is expected
to produce 1900 to 1000 pounds of
good quality tobacco, said Robert
w. Shoffner, extension farm man
agement specialist at State College.
Last year field of about the same
size lying just across road pro-
duced 1900 pounds of leaf, and this
years crop, growing on better land,
gives promise of doing even better,
Shoffner added.
Wilson is one of the demonstra-
ton farmers who are working
in cooperation with the State Col
lege Extension Service and the Ten
nessee Valley Authority in carrying
out good program of land use
and farm management.
He has been building up his soil
by applying lime and triple-super-
phosphate and by growing legumes.
When the tobacco is harvested this
fall, Wilson plans to sow rye for a
winter cover crop. Red clover will
be sown on the rye next spring and
probably be allowed to remain on
the field for two years before it is
turned under and another crop of
tobacco planted.
Wilson has only 20 acres on his
farm, but he produces IA commodi-
ties for sale: poultry, eggs, pigs,
cabbage, tobacco, beef cattle, sheep,
wool, calves, honey, butter, vege-
tables, potatoes, and fruits includ-
ing apples. His annual farm in
come averages $1,700.

Most of the farmers grow it, he
continued, and yields range from
one to two tons per acre. Old resi-

other sections by the car load. But
since lespedeza has come into popu-
larity, they have no need for out-of-

"The bank has loaned money,
Dave" Mary said. "They won't

of his head that swept him off +his
horse into falling Inconsistencies.
Rosy's guns streaked up in cough

Mary was kneeling by Dave as
Rosy fought his horse quiet and
leaped off.
Rosy struck a match. In it's light
they could see raw smear of red
on the top of Dawes head, the blood
oozing out from under the thick
black hair. Rosy put his ear to
Dawes chest.
''Pumpin' like a locomotive" he
announced cheerfully.
Mary was sobbing softly.
'It's all right, Miss Mary" Rosy
gulped. IF they killed him, I reck-
on I'd just 60 hog wild.
Mary nodded. $3.50 would l."

sprawled, prone figure, resting face
downward on the stock of a shot

a thick-set man, dressed in soiled
denim pants, greasy shirt and tat

He was unshaven and just where
the stubble of beard ceased to grow
on his neck, think stream of blood
trickled. He was dead. Rosy let
the match die and peered off into
the night, listening.
A scraping hoof gave him the
clue he was waiting for and he
walked over to a ground haltered
horse. He led the horse over to the
rim-rock, loaded the man across
the saddle and after walking south
for a hundred yards found the ar
royo which led down to the road.
Mary was waiting for him.
Rosy struck a match, wondering
if the man would turn out to be
some one she knew. Mary peered
at the man and Rosy let the flame

q bad thing.
Why, he asked, can't a small bank
support itself. especially nowadays
with Federal supervision and deposit
insurance
The President referred to his jack
son Day dinner speech and reiterated
that owners of $500, ,000, 900 of private
power securities were controlling a
total of $4,000, 100000 of utility capi-
tai. That just can't 60 on, he said.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA R.-WaI
Street blinked. its eyes in amazement

as favoring the abolition of all hold

An expert on corporation finance
said "at q conservative guess" well
over half Of all the companies whose
securities are widely held are. in
some degree, holding companies.
They also noted the President had
singled out bank holding companies
to attack remote control" Of local
banking. and pointed out that while
the number Of such concerns was lin
tied. some Of them were giant-size.
The four largest, they said, con-
trolled banks with assets of nearly $3,-

In general use, Is wrong now. he de-
clared, it also was wrong in the past,
and no moral right exists to forgive
past crimes and leave what he termed
water and wind in the existing capi-
tai structures.
Two wrongs don't make . right, he
added.
No Mention Of Amortization. -
The President, further discussing
the prudent investment angle, OBJ
served that Mr.. Willkie made no men,
ton Of amortization of securities.
He said If securities Of operating
companies issued under rulings Of the
Supreme Court had been amortized,
the utilities would not be having much
difficulty in their capital structures at
the present time.
Mr.. WILKES statement that the new
valuation method also might disturb
the capital market brought comment
that If sinking fund had been set up
on senior securities there would not
have been any disturbance.
Regarding Mr.. WILKES readiness to
eliminate capital write-ups disclosed
by the Federal Trade Commission, the
President said he did not know enough
about that to give an intelligent an
swer, but here again differentiation
should be made between operating and
holding companies.
As to proposals that the Federal
Government avoid duplication Of pri-
vate utilities, the President recalled q
prior statement Of his that the Gov
ernment now was operating power
plants at q ratio Of only about Is per
cent of the total power, area and
population.
Desire to Avoid Duplication.
He added that in the Columbia
Basin and other regions the admins
tration was trying to arrange for
municipalities desiring power to avoid
duplication Of facilities.
The Government recognizes the
right OF municipalities to put in their
own power plants If the voters SO de-
termine. he said. adding that Mr.. will
kie even comedies that point.
On the point OF public works grants
to municipalities to establish power
plants. he said the Supreme Court had
made clear there was not much dif-
ference between Federal aid for high
ways and Federal aid for power.
Municipalities first should make sr
effort to purchase existing private IA
cilities, he said. AS . result of the
courts recent decision releasing many

many cases the cities would not dupli-
cate lines, but would work out some
kind of purchase arrangement of pri-
vate transmission and distributing sys-
TENS.
Asked how he would reduce the wind
and water in capital structures, the
President said this was comparatively
small in operating companies. He said
in talking with operating executives
they had concluded the amount was 50
