for such assistance is forced to subsst on a diet
of "grits, greens and gravy" which indicates that
the relief leader succeeded in getting his aitera-

affected the South most adversely, the impostons
of a longstanding and discriminatory tariff, the

PIKER GEORGE BERRY

Lawyer for IVA testified before inves-
LEGATION committee sitting at Knoxville that
George Berry and associates paid only a
few hundred dollars for marble leases
which they tried to cash in for five million
dollars after IVA covered the marble de-

around ten million dollars.

ity at an ultimate total cost of around four
hundred million dollars.
High dams defeat all purposes of flood
control. They are built for the purpose Of
putting IVA into the power business. River

any other river, is a fiction in this day.

ropean manner-nothing except the fact
that each nation uses good sense and neigh
borly forbearance.
The United States, for instance, could
easily claim that it needs" the raw mate
rials which Canada has-the metals, the
wood pulp, the other things that keep the
Great Lakes steamships busy all summer
long. 1t could argue that unless it "cOn
trolled" the supply of these things its
whole economy would be endangered.
And it could go ahead and lay plans for
the conquest of the Dominion.
Canada. on the other hand, could point
out that its liberty was endangered by the
colossus to the south. 1t could complain
about the descriptive influence of American
visitors-those CLIO. organizers who have
disturbed Ontario's premier, for example
and it could close the border with pa
trolls, forts and 50 on.
The situation that would result would
be every bit as logical as the situation
which is commonplace on almost every
European border.
That peaceful boundary between the
United States and Canada is, as the young
traveller remarked, an immensely thrilling
thing. But it doesn't exist by accident.
1t is what it is because the people Of the
two countries have chosen to act sensibly.

W7ASHINGTON.-The bally =
w hooed Roosevelt effort to
save the Democratic party for the
New Deal in 1910 has boiled
down to these two aspects: Can
the New Deal save several pro-
administration senators from de-
feat?" and "How far will RooSe-
welt 90 to defeat foes in Georgia,
South Carolina and Maryland?'
Republican leaders and Demo-
cratic conservatives say Roosevelt
has lost his political nerve. They
base, this chiefly on his continued
failure. to attack any anti-NeW
Deal senator, to his rather mild
endorsement of some of his
strongest supporters, and to EVIL
dent unwillingneSs to nose in on
congressional primaries where his
man is likely to be licked.
THE theory may be sustained OF
l. Debated by what Roosevelt
does in those three southern states,
in each of which a definite effort
to beat an incumbent Democratic
senator has been planned.
New Dealers now privately con-
cede that chances for defeat of
Senator Cotton Ed" Smith of
South Carolina by Gov. Olin john
ston are very slim. Johnston'S
failure TO line up the state high
way organizations political ma
chinery has discouraged them.
Roosevelt may not go down the
line for Johnston.
Although Senator Walter George
Of Georgia recently lauded him as
that great and good man." RooSe-
welt is privately pledged to 90 to
bat publicly-and hard-for U. S.

within the city's income; they
carefully say nothing about opcr-
ating within the budget.
What Il city should do to be
honest and safe is to operate with
in its income when that income
is less than the budgct-thus pre-
venting Il dcficit-and to operate
within its budget when the in
come is more than the budget ---
thus creating 4 surplus. The bud
get and the income must always
be considered together in getting
at what a city is doing financial
ly.
And by the same token the tax
rate and the property valuation
must always be considered togcth-
or in calculating taxes. 1t Is not
uncommon for a political ring to
announce with much noise that it
will not increase the tax rate; yet
at the same time it will quietly
increase the property valuation
on which the taxes are calculated,
thus increasing the size Of the tax
bill-anothcr way of getting more
feathers without making the
goose sQuawk. If last year the
taxing authorities valued your
home at $1,000 in calculating
your taxes, but this year valued
your home at 81, 100, your tax
bill would be increased ten per
cent. though the tax rate remain
unchanged.
And here is another way the
public gets confused about taxes
take my own community as an
example: The county levies taxes
and the city Icvics taxes. But
most of the city people imagine
the county taxes do not concern
them at all. When the county
commissioners do anything to the
county tax rate, the city people
don't give a boot; thew think it
is no skin off them. Yet two
