THE COURT DECISION

While the dismissal of the petition OF the Caro-
lima Aluminium company to the circuit court OF ap-
peals will necessarily delay final action on the pro-
posed Tuckertown project, we are inclined to be-
lieve that the judges of this court IN sympathy
with the efforts Of the Aluminium company to build
the dam 1t is our thought that if the matter IS
finally brought to this court in the proper manner
the court would rule that the federal power COM
mission does not have any authority in the matter
Of course, we would not care to attempt to
qualify as mind reader, and especially as read
er Of such great minds as sit the bench in this
court but since it is obvious to the public gen
eraly, and certainly to the members OF this court,
that another dam on the Yadkin would not affect
navigation on the Pee Dee we have no fear of the
decision of the court in this matter.
Judge Parker, in dismissing the case, indicated
the steps which might De taken to get the matter
before the court, and we trust that the Aluminium
company will lose no time in bringing it before
Judge Parker and his associates again.-Aloemarle

Senator Norris is the patron saint of iva and

committee There is technical group IN this

impartiality, ability and honesty stand proved to
the satisfaction of the country and of congress by
record of more than century. That is the war
department corps of engineers, who have long been

nations rivers and harbors. The inner circle of
the Third New Deal would like to get them out of
there. That was one purpose of the reorganization
bill as originally proposed. Senator Norris insists
that they shall be restricted in hydraulics to navl-
gation-not flood control or power.
Why? Because they can't be pummelled or per-
suaded to produce figures and reports that are
well, call it "euphonous" which, according to the
dictionary, refers to "a pleasing sound-the effect
of words so combined and uttered as to please the
ear" Their surveys. are so combined and uttered
as 90 tell the complete, accurate and seientinc
truth. That Is what the nation seriously needs IN
this vital matter but it is that
all it is going to get is "euphony."-Gen. Hugh s.

LAW CAN'T REPEAL FACTS

In the matter OF the wages and hours bill, you
can set 1t down that IN the long run employers will
not pay higher wage than a man can earn, law OF
no law II ten OF twenty cotton-pickers can earn
81 "a day at % cents hundred, if FIVE earn
$3.50 day, the other FIVE only 81 day. those last
five will simply not be hired if the minimum wage
be $50 day Perhaps that is why the wage and
hours ball does not apply to farmers but congress
men and politicians are to find out soon or late that
the rule is to work IN the industries. The minimum
wage will weed out the sub-minimum earners. Per
sons who cannot earn more than 81 day for pack
ing and shipping huckleberries win not be paid 81

To meet the great difficulty of
administering old-age insurance
for farm workers and domestic
employees, a system has been sug-

will buy stamps and affix them
to cards held by employees, the
stamps to be bought from the
Treasury and paid for by equal
employer and worker contribu-
tions.
