PROBLEM OF COTTON UNTOUCHED

Cotton farmers are generally being reported,
both those in North Carolina and those generally
throughout the South, as being eLaced over the
prospects Of federal bonuses TO be allowed them
under the new farm BILL whatever Il IS.
We have no disposition to find especial fault
with them in showing such hearty reactions to an
outlook of economic improvement as embodied IN
the promises Of mis- measure. It's thoroughly hu-
man.
Except that Ne would continue 70 remind them
that, at best this is only temporary solvent Of
their lis sort Of pleasant wash for deep-seated
eye trouble, a sweet-scented ointment to apply 70
an economic cancer.
For, after all. the problem of cotton is not a
problem Of production, which this bill aims to con
troll, out problem Of consumption which this oil
does not pretend to touch.
What the southern cotton growers need IS some
body to buy their staple.
They can make It in any reasonable quantity II
some genius could develop markets that would ao-
soro at profit for them the volume they are pre-
pared annually to produce-Charlotte Observer.

Once there was a rheOrF t0aG me 40

For the federal government IS doting

Perhaps you didn't see or didn't stop TO
consider the presidents recent message TO
congress in which ne transmitted the report
Of the Advisory Committee on Education.
The committee urged, and apparently
the president sanctioned, federal grants
70 the states for educational purposes
which would begin in 1889 at S70,000,00O
and increase by 1914 to S199,000,000
The grants are to be used for current
operating and maintenance expenses Of
public elementary and secondary schools;
TO improve the preparation Of teachers and
other educational personnel; for the con-
struction Of school buildings; for the i'm
proved administration of state departments
Of education; for civic, general and voca-
tional part-time adult educational activi-
ties" for rural library service.
The president told congress: "Glaring
inequalities characterize educational OPP
pOrtunities and expenditures for schools
throughout the nation. Educational service
F. in many localities is below the mini
mum necessary for the preservation Of
democratic Institutions
President Roosevelt wouldn't have, prob
ably, much difficulty proving that state
ment, but ne might have difficulty convinc-
ing most people of his next words which
were:
Federal aid is the only way in which
the difficulties in this widespread and
complex situation can De adequately cor

In the first place, schools aren't exactly
interstate commerce, even by Mr. Roose-
velt's definition thereof. Secondly, the
states should have some prerogatives and
responsibilities left or there isn't any point
in having state governments. Thirdly, why
should the federal government set up edu-
cational departments whose function is to
aid similar state departments already set
up, a patent duplication OF duties. And
