SEEKING TO PICK A QUARREL

And now Musselini- joins Hitler in defying Brit
ish and French elements which they like to call
war-mongering enemies of Fascism, meaning such
as Anthony: Eden, Winston Churchill and Duff
Cooper, in England and those in France who do
not approve the foreign policies of Daladier.
Both Hitler and Mussolini appear to have be-
come so bold and defiant since Chamberlain and
Daladier agreed in Munich to let Hitler have his
way in Czechoslovaka that they are assuming to
try to dictate to the people of Great Britain and
France as to whom they shall follow and support
among the statesmen of their own countries
They are doing exactly what Hitler warned
against in his Saarland speech last Sunday, when
he told the Statesmen and politicians" of other
countries to attend strictly to their own affairs and
stop talking abou what the dictators were doing.
1t begins TO appear as if Hitler and Mussoin
were deliberately seeking to pick quarrel with

W7ASHINGTON.-Badly under
" stated, financially starved and
slightly dazed by complexities of
the law, the administration of the
wage-hour law approaches the
effective date of the act, October
"a, convinced the law needs
amending.
Millions of workers on goods
moving in interstate commerce
will be guaranteed a maximum
work week of a. hours, with time
and a half for overtime, and a
minimum wage of Is cents an
hour under the law.
But Administrator Elmer F.
Andrews has no power to say
which industries are covered by
the law and which are not. The
act makes certain definite exemp-
tons and Andrews probably will
issue memorandum telling which
industries are obviously" af-
fected, but will not attempt to
show which occupations and in
dustries fall outside. Employees in
retail trade obviously" are not
affected and employees of factories
!. making goods for sale outside the
state obviously" are. There is a
large border-line group. 4
Any Andrews memorandum will
be advisory and subject to re-
view by the courts. The law was
written on the basis of dissenting
opinions Of certain Supreme Court
justices, in the belief that these
dissenting opinions would become
majority opinions. To, uphold the
law the Court must reverse the
Hammer VS.. Dagenhart decision

DON'T INTERRUPT HIM

DOlN llN LNNSA tii"i
When a person is talking to
you, or in your presence, do you
let him finish what he has to say?
Or do you break in when what
he is saying suggests bright
idea?
One of the fundamental prin-
ciples of parliamentary law is that
the speaker shall have the floor
and say what he has to say with
out interference. The observance
of that law promotes harmony and
facilitates business. 1t is good
practice to follow in ordinary con-
versation, too. Not only is it i'm
polite to interrupt one who is
talking, but it is likely to cause
him to forget something he has
in mind, and to make his listen
ers miss something good. Of
course listener might forget. a
point too if he has to wait until
the speaker is through, but some
sacrifice has to be made, to the
cause of courtesy. Anyhow, lit
tie self-abnegation is well now
and then for the best of men
and women too. And it really does
take lot of self-restraint to keep
some folks still long enough to
let others complete their remarks.

AGAINST DIVERSION OF STATE HIGHWAY
- FUNDS

We agree intellectually with Commissioner of
Revenue A. j. Maxwell in his opposition to the
diversion of state highway funds Mr.. Maxwell
says that he has become convinced that the most
pressing need of the state today is to make its
highways adequate for the demands upon them
Asked why it is that, after being known for
years as the "strategst of diversion he has taken
such ali unequivocal stand against the practice he
has sponsored in the past, Mr.. Maxwell said:
Il haven't switched principles at all. For some
years we faced such tremendous financial Difficult
ties that revenue just had to be taken from any
and all sources to make both ends meet But since
l have been studying highways particularly from
the safety angle-intensively for more than year,
have become convinced that there is no more
pressing need for spending than our highways
therefore, l am thoroughly convinced that no
revenue from special automotive taxes should be
diverted to any other purpose, ,Q.,.--.. ,.
we have always considered, the use of gasoline
TAX tor any other purpose than on roads as being
transportation of funds. The motorist con-
tributes the money for that purpose and it should
De used for no other ~ &c -.
Mr.. Maxwel's position Is right North Carolinas
highway system was built long before other south
ern states walked up to the advantages of good
roads. This put the state far in advance for a
Time, bnt has resulted in much of the system be-
coming obsolete, particularly because of the fact
tnat traffic conditions have changed so drastieally
mat IN turn has resulted in the rebuilding of many
OF the main arteries, some of them necessary, be-
rore the originally planned state system was COM
pleted III, -.
Certainly we need to spend every cent of auto
mosiYe taxes on our roads, and diversion for any
purpose whatsoever should be made next to i'm
posslble.-Morganton Nsws-H Herald. -..-
