BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON. - Promises Of
+" cooperation from business in
IS so-called five-billion-doll re-
covery program are exactly what
the administration needs most.
Many government officials, even
though they believe in spending"
gravely doubt if the program by
itself can make a dent in the de-
preston.
Analysis of the spending-lend-
Ing plan has shown its pump
printing value to be problematical
and its reception has been mix
ture of mild approval, apathy and
opposition. What the program
needs is new business psychol-
ogy which would result in turning
loose a lot of private capital in an
6cipation of better times-and
that is sadly lacking. So the adj
ministration has been trying like
the dickens to get some big bust
ness men to beat the drums.
It's quite reminiscent of the
l929-30 months when President
Hoover was getting all the big
business men down here to do ex-
acly the same thing. Mr.. Hoover
had far easier time getting the
tycoons to express confidence"
than MIR. Roosevelt is having and,
on the other hand, F. D. R. has
pump-priming scheme which
Hoover didn't have. Other pro-
nounced differences in the two
situations are obvious and needn't
be detailed, although it may be
noted that some New Deal cynics
believe hopeful expressions of CO.
operation and confidence by bust
ness leaders would be no moro
valuable than they were in 1890
Insofar as the present Roose-
welt program is concerned it is
now obvious that: There will
be. no immediate rise in the flow
Of federal spending. 2-The de-

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

One woman whose husband
her an allowance on which to run
the house and buy her clothing
and the children's, always says
whenever an extravaganza is sug-
gested, "Tll pay it out Of my al
lowance."
"And what good will that do?"
inquiries the husband. "Pll have
to make it up to you"
We citizens are constantly de-
manding more and more of our
government - not realizing that
every cent our government spends
we must provide. Already we
have encouraged and permitted
spending to pile up until out of
every dollar we spend, rs per
cent of it is for concealed taxes
and those concealed taxes hit the
poor person the hardest. If per-
son is receiving SO a week and
% per cent, or $3.50, goes for
concealed taxes, he has but $3.50
left. Whereas if he gets $50 a
week and % percent, or $3.50
goes for concealed taxes, he has
$3.50 left. We should constant
ly bear in mind that all the money
the politicians spend, waste and
graft must be paid by US. There
is no other way of providing it.
So would it pay each and every
one Of US in dollars and cents to
take a lively, intelligent interest
in politics? I'll say it would!

gree of speed with which new
spending and lending money can
be put into the system is an I'M
certain factor. 3-Even the most
optimistic advocates of the pro-
gram aren't sure that the amount
of such money will be enough to
lift the country above current de-
preston levels.
So you can see why there's 4
fervent Washington desire to have
business men stop saying "Oh,
yeah?" and start crying something
like "Clap hands, here comes
Charliel"
Optimists hope the New Deal
can get to pushing out $150,0OO,OOO
"a month of new money by election
time. But since WpA expenditures
will represent no real increase
and RFC loans always have been
made conservatively, the big diff
ference between the present gov
eminent outlay and that of few
months hence must be found in
about ,5Oo,0O0,0OO of PWA grant
and loan money which Secretary
Ickes expects to have available.
Ickes hopes to start pushing this
money out within three months
and will make a terrific effort to
fulfill those hopes and fool the
skeptics.
If the present level of business
activity can be held through the
summer, most of the more cagey
administration economists will be
satisfied. In that case, they as.
sumo business will receive some
appreciable stimulus in the fall
which will carry it above the re-
cent level.
But the country is going into the
summer with some huge industrial
inventories, they point out, and
there have been no increases in
employment yet to promise an off,
set to the usual summer slump.

THE PEPPER CROP IN FLORIDA

HE PEffEh (NOf lfN rLSNHN
What we have reason to believe we
know in this case is not what we have seen
in the newspapers, but what The Times
News has gathered from personal contacts
with some of our good friends from the
Sunshine State" They are of many shades
of Florida political opinion. Among the
number are citizens who voted for at least
three of the several candidates for United
States Senator The Tmes-News passes
the information along to its readers as
news for most of them, for it is practically
certain it is of character that will not be
widely published in the newspapers OF
Florida or, perhaps, those of other States.
Based on the information thus obtained,
ing outcome of the Florida primary was
not the alleged great new deal victory
achieved by Senator Pepper, but the fact
that more than 100000 citizens of the
State evidenced the moral courage to go
to the polls and vote against him. ...
One of the most prominent Floridians
who is a Summer visitor to Hendersonville
opened his comment on political conditions
and primary results down there by stating
he would like to know how many millions
of federal money were poured into Florida
before the election. SOS
! This citizen said it appeared that ma
FORTY of the people of the State were
either given federal appointments of some
kind or were placed on relief, WPA, or
attached to the federal pap tanks in some
manner. Similar charges were openly and
publicly made by Ex-Governor Sholtz prior
to the election. He was a candidate for
the senatorship in the primary, landing in
third place in the voting.
One of the Floridians commenting on
the matter said that before the election,
in conversation with Candidate Wilcox,
that gentleman asked him what he thought
Ofshis (Wilcox's) chances for winning in
the primary. He answered by asking the
candidate if he believed he could win
against all the power of the federal ad-
mnistration, plus the power of the State
administration, plus the Influence and &C
tivities of tens of thousands of Floridians
holding federal offices and appointments
and additional tens of thousands who are
receiving federal subsidies in every form
that clever politicians can contrive. De-
The Times-News does not direct atten-
ton to this matter for the sole purpose of
holding Florida political conditions up to
criticism and condemnation, but specifcal-
ly and more particularly for the purpose
of saying that similar, or worse, conditions
exist in every one of the 48 States; and
there is absolutely no mystery or miracle
attached to the results when the new deal
wins a political contest anywhere in the
United States.
1T is practically impossible to lick Santa
Claus in politics when the gentleman heads
an organization that has free access to the
uncounted. millions which can be raised by
tax oppression in this nation. ..- ~, ..
As one of the Florida gentlemen summed
up the situation, it would be one of the
most unique and amusing developments in
the long history of civilization were it not
for the fact that in its serious aspects it is
the most tragic era in world history ..- 8,

BULLDOGS TAcKL|NG.
IS BETTER IN DRILLS
Rideout Is Still Hampered
By Bad Leg; Skull Prac-
tice Tonight

Henderson high school Bulldogs are
taking secret drills for their annual
game with Oxford, but it's no secret
that Coach Miller is giving his squad
plenty Of work.
The highs are showing the ability
to tackle hard, Miller stressing this
in hopes to stop the powerful running
attack Of Oxford.
Galloway and Coghill are in the
role of running backs, and each is
expected to lug the leather Friday.
A skull practice tonight at 7:3O
o'clock will sharpen the wits of the
players on new plays handed out by
the mentor for this all important
game. Robert Rideout is still ham
pered by a bad leg, and much of Hen
derson's defense centers around this
hard tackling center, who backs up
the line on defense.
Henderson is. definitely in the spot
of underdog for the contest, but the
Bulldogs like the idea of kicking over
the dope bucket, and they are deter
mined to do just that
