economics. A presidential message on
the subject is expected before con-
gress adjourns.
OUR TROUBLE
Colonel Frank Knox, in a recent
broadcast, pointed to one of the most
obvious and perchance the most es-
sential of the dislocations in our syS-
tenn.
The colonel's talk was to the pur-
port that we suffer from the subs:-
dizing of a certain class of our pro-
ducers at the expense of others. What
he plainly meant to say was that our
urban industry has been substituting
indirectly, by tariff protection, at the
expense of agriculture.
Our manufacturers do not overpro-
duce. Our big ones are only a small
group. They get together easily, in a
1oomful. They produce, among them,
enough for our home market, and pro-
lection prevents foreign manufacture
ers from competing with them domes-
tically. They may compete in foreign
markets, but not here. We may pro-
hibit Them by law, from combining On
American prices, but we cannot COM
pei them to Overproduce; SO they keep
domestic prices up automatically.
Farmers are not so easy to restrain.
There are too many of them, and they
are too individualistic.
FARMERS DISADVANTAGE
The farmers have tried to combine,
as the manufacturers have done. They
are too numerous and miscellaneous
cotton, tobacco, wheat, corn, dairy and
assorted farmers pulling at cross pur-
poses.
They are not, in the nature of things
co-Ordinated, as are the manufacture
ers.
They have hollered for tariff pro-
lection, and it has been accorded to
them, but tariff protection does not
fit the farmers case; it did not help
them.
Consequently, dating away back to
the .McNary-Haugen bill, of many
years ago, they have tried to get a
subsidy working in reverse from tar
iff protection. It does not operate;
it is contrary.
The only thing is to COMPEL the
farmer to limit production or subsi-
die Cbribe) him to do it.
And will he do it then?
Won't he "bootleg" his overproduct?
He is pretty hard to watch; there
are so many of him.

campaign for highway safety, empha-
sized by Governor Hoey's proclama-
ton of next week as Safety Week
was today enthusiastically endorsed by
State Senator S. Gilmer Sparger, sec
rotary of the North Carolina Petro-
man of the Senate Committee on
Roads in the 1887 General Assembly,
Education is now, and always will
be, the best approach to the problem
of highway safety" said Mr.. Sparger,
Governor Hoey and other state Off
Gals have the right approach to the
matter in encouraging continuous ed
vocational efforts
Engineering ingenuity can never
entirely compensate for human error
and the possibility of mechanical fail
ure," he continued, There were acct
dents-fatal accidents the horse
and buggy days when even a poor
driver couldn't possibly drive a mule
over an embankment. There are fatal
accidents in the home and even in the
bath tub and yet no one has suggest
ed that the fullest use of this sanitary
device be curtailed or that it be pro-
vided with a rough non-skid surface
because of careless use."
He warned against the emotional
ism" of many fly4by-night safety cam
paigns conducted primarily for the
purpose of building up sales for the
promoters products or services.
"Many organizations, instead of CO.
operating with constructive education
al efforts to foster highway safety
such as those of Governor Hoey, Major
Arthur Fulk, head Of the highway pa
troll, and other state officials ignore
that important phase of the matter to
promote the use of expensive road
materials, costly schemes for highway
lighting, or alleged safety gadgets FOR
automobiles" he said.
