WEATHER

One of the mildest and most delightful
Winters this section has experienced IN
number of years is now drawing to a close
There has not been excessive rainfall at
any time; the sun has been shining the
greater number of Winter days; and there
has been almost total absence Of snow--to
be exact, about an inch of snow has fallen
twice during the Winter. . .,... -.....
Thus the section has had another prac-
teal object lesson as to the splendid VIM
ter climate of the mountain region, Wis
itors have been coming and going through
out the Winter season and residents have
been enjoying the weather. ..-.... -.
The present outlook is for IAN early
Spring" Farmers are already engaged in
getting their plans arranged for the next
crop season and work is being done on the
farms. Plowed fields are seen in every di-
rection.
A majority of the weather prophets con-
suited by The Times-News predict that
there will be little rough weather from
now until Summer That is the present
outlook and promise.
However, the matter of chief concern
at this time is the question of what will
happen to the fruit crop of this area in the
Spring. Mild Winters are usually followed
by late Springs; the mild Winter weather
brings early blooming of the trees and late
frosts kill the fruit crops. This possibility
is about the only thing our farmers have to
worry about at this time. Otherwise, every
thing is working smoothly and there is the
promise of a successful year in farming in
the mountain country.

VTASHINGTON.-Mr. Roosevelt
w is more optimistic than most
of the other New Dealers when
he leans back on the serene as
sumption that business will pick
itself up again this spring and go
hopping along without any par
ticular help from government.
Some of his closest advisers are
convinced that he will have to
yank a big bouncing bunny out
of his hat within the next two
months if the country is to avoid
the danger of resumption OF the
downward spiral which began last
fall and lately has tended to level
off-at least for the time being.
They think that the recession
has put such a big dent in pur-
chasing power that further recess
sion is inevitable unless Roosevelt
and Congress administer pump
printing shot in the arm.
The big bouncing bunny, &C
cording to these same advisers,
may be an expensive program of
government home building under
auspices of WrA and largely
using WPA labor.
WPA officials are making a
secret, intensive study of the
possibilities. In addition to ordiT
nary building operations it is fg-
ured that WPA labor would be
especially adaptable to the cree
ton of pre-fabricated houses.
Early inside reports indicate that
a thriving new industry might. be
built up in a very short time if
the government decided to enter
the pre-fabricated house field.
Housing experts admit that a
pre-fabricated housing boom could
be set going within six months il

RELIEF ROLLS DON'T GROW ANY
SMALLER
CBy BRUCE CATION

In case you think that government spend
ing for relief is something which original
ed along about 1882 and is exclusive to the
last few years, look over some figures COM
piled by the Works Progress Administra-
ton.
Since 1911 the government has been pay
ing large share of the aid furnished the
jobless and the destitute in the United
States. AS early as 1929 public funds were
paying more than three-fourths of the ma
tional relief bill.
!, And If you believe that the ever-mount-
ing governmental expenditures for aid to
the needy is a comparative recent thing
and blamable upon economic events of the
last six or seven years, there are more
figures.
Since that same 1911, relief expendi-
lures have grown steadily in the United
States. In fact, in Is of the country's larg-
est cities they increased elevenfold be-
tween 1911 and 1929, despite the flourish
Ing prosperity during the latter part of
that period
/, Another significant portion of the WPA
report was the fact that with each success
sive depression, serious or slight in the last
70 years, relief spending has climbed to a
new high level.
J. And as each succeeding era of pros
perity followed, the amount of aid given
the unemployed and the destitute did not
return to its former plane, but remained
almost static until new depression came
along. Then expenditures were boosted
again.

WILL 1T SPREAD

1t is tradition in America that when the women
really get interested in subject they usually get
their way If so, then there may be hope in the
organized drive by women of New York to discour-
age new tax levies and eliminate many levies that
are now imposed.
Under the sponsorship of the Consumers Tax
Committee of the National Exposition of Arts and
Industries, the campaign has been organized. 1t
proposes to conduct an intensive campaign of ten
weeks to educate consumers regarding the large
portion of their income that must go in the
payment of taxes.
The theory is that once aroused to the heavy tax
burden carried by consumers of America, the peo-
pie will demand an investigation of public finance
and revision of the tax structure 1t is pointed out
by way of beginning that in New York % cents
of each wage earner's dollar goes into the payment
of taxes.
An investigation probably will reveal that much
the same situation prevails in North Carolina, IN
Shelby if you please, when the municipal, county,
state and national levies are totaled.
The New York women point out that large
part of the tax burden is borne by the white collar
worker the wage Garner the farmer, in leVles ND
den in the purchase of their food, clothing ana
shelter. They assert that $500 of $1,000 annual
income goes for taxes Savings in taxes, they say,
would provide the better things of life for the tax
payers.
1t is not surprising to observe that women IN
New York are taking up the cudgel for lower taxes
via more economy in governments STAR
