TOWNSEND BILL

To the Editor:
The bill to pay 5000 per month to
every one over IS years old was de-
feated in Congress last Thursday
This bill embodied what is known as
the Townsend plan and sought, not
specially to help the aged but every
one by putting several billions Of
dollars in circulation each year. The
fortunate people who have money
tell us the plan would drain the
Treasury, which is very untrue and
is nothing but the same kind of pro-
paganda the rich put forward to de-
feat everything that might be bene-
fit to those who feed us all It is
passing strange to me that when God
has blessed man so he has wealth
that that man will use every means
to prevent those who are poor from
having any. Keep the farmer and
WOrkingman poor in order that we
can control them is the slogan of
those who live in comfort on their
labor. :
Three hundred and two congress-
men voted against the Townsend
bill which includes the eleven from
North Carolina. No one ever heard
of a congressman from this State
doing anything that would be of
much benefit to the rank and file.
They will at long intervals vote to
give the working folks a few crumbs,
but only crumbs, never a part of the
loaf
Instead of the Townsend plan
costing the tax payers anything it
would have been a boon to the
Treasury and in few years we
would have heard no more of debt
either public or private had it been
made law. And besides that great
blessing it would have destroyed
Wall Street and never again would
we have to feal the crushing, soul
destroying power of organized
wealth. For that reason your con-
gressmen voted against it. For that
reason all those who get their pap
from Wall street and its agents are
against it. They know the passage
of the Townsend bill would revolu-
tionize the money policy of our coun-
ry, and that justice would flourish
where injustice grows now, luxuri-
antly.
Ninety-seven men last Thursday
voted for the Townsend bill. Not one
OF them was from North Carolina.

OTHERS VIEWS
THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR


To the Editor:
With the date of the next state
wide Democratic primary to select
a successor to Governor Clyde K.
Hoey less than year in the future
no one can say with any degree Of
accuracy who will be the winner.
At least dozen fine gentlemen
have been mentioned as probable
aspirants but it is extremely doubt
full if more than four or five will
make the race.
A number of politicians believe
the race will finally narrow down to
two or three, unless a regular free
for all fight develops. Governor
Hoey has suggested to all aspiring
statesmen the improperly of an
early announcement and up to the
present no candidate has ignored
his advice by making a public an
nouncement. This has thrown a
damper on the aspirations of seve-
raj potential candidates.
After travelling over more than
sixty counties in the past few months
and asking every one met with for
an expression of opinion, the writer
believes that as of today the stand
ing of the leading contenders is APP
parently as follows: Hon. A. J. Max
we'll is leading the field by very
substantial margin, followed by Hon.
A. J. Broughton, Hon. Willis Smith,
Charles M. Johnson, Lieutenant
Governor Wilkins p Horton and
Ex-senator Lee S. Gravely. Several
others who have. been mentioned
have some strength but not enough
to make them formidable
The Maxwell following is not con-
fined to any particular class but is
statewide. He has performed a
very difficult job in such an able
manner as to win the admiration Of
people in all walks of life, and they
do not hesitate to express their con-
fidence in his ability and long years
of experience. If the election was
held today, Maxwell would win over
the field easily. Broughton, Smith,
Johnson and Gravely all have a
considerable following, however, and
it remains to be seen how the can
didates will stand in the coming
primary.

Parole Likely To Be
Denied Fred Beale
aCont1nued From Page One>


for Beale except as a matter of
mercy, certainly not as matter of
right.
The commissioner also pointed out
that Beale has no claim to clemency
because his return to North Carolina
was 'voluntary'.
ellis return was just about as
voluntary as if somebody had held
a gun on him., said Mr.. Gill "After
his conviction he fled the country,
jumping his bail. Then. when he
came back to the United States from
Russia, which he left possibly be-
cause they were making it too hot
for him, he went into hiding. Even
after his arrest in Boston he gave
every indication he would fight eX-
tradition and gave up only when it
became absolutely certain that Gov
ernor Hurley would honor our. re-
QUESTION"
The commissioner explained. that
Beale would come up for the hear
ing with a record since his imprison-
ment in North Carolina which is
"neutraP'.
"When he was committed to pri-
son in February, 1888 he went in
as a Grade B convict He's still in
Grade B and we will take his record
as without incident which means
that on its face there is nothing in
it to entitle him to special consid-
Grafton or to make a black mark "a
gainst his chances, said the parole
chief.
Mr.. Gill commented briefly on
published reports that Beale has
been put into solitary confinement at
Caledonia Prison farm for fighting
with other prisoners.
$50 long as it did not result in
his demotion, his being placed in
solitary will have no effect on his
parole one way or the other. So far
as the hearing is concerned, all that
matters is whether he has been pro-
noted or denoted in prison grade,
and SO far he has been neither"
Mr.. Gill said that prison authori-
ties may have kept Beale in Grade
B on account of the long term he has
to serve and because of his record
as bail jumper and escape.
"They would be fully justified in
taking all these things into consid-
GRAFTON and going very cautiously
about putting him in Grade Az, he
said
Mr.. Gill said that notice of the
hearing had been sent to District
Solicitor John C. Carpenter Of Gas
tonia, who prosecuted Beale, to the
sheriff Of CASTOR county and to other
officials who might be interested in
it.
Judge M. V. Barnhill who presid-
ed at Beale's trial in superior court,
is now a justice of the Supreme
Court here.
Governor Clyde R. Hoey was one
of the prosecutions staff at the trial.
Indications are that appeal will be
made to release Beale on the theory
that North Carolina cannot afford
to have his case. become a second
mooney case", but just the same
there isn't the slightest intimatlon
right now that Beale is going to get
a parole for quite spell yet.

Swain May Go Wet for
Sake of New Money
CONTINUED From rage One)

in the bone dry column with little
hesitation and no fear of being
wrong; but there are the two fac
tors mentioned which must be TAX
en- into consideration in any analy-
sis of the outlook
Swain has been publicized from
one end of the State to the other as
a county which has squandered its
wealth of timber and has become
sore spot on the North Carolina
body economic. This fact is being
borne in upon Swain citizens, even
those in the remotest hollows, It's
said, and the prospect of putting the
county back on it's financial feet
through liquor revenue is a really
alluring one.
"The tourists will come and will
spend money, if they know they
can buy good liquor in the county,
is an argument being used reported
ly with such strong effect that many
of the hard-shelled Republicans
from the deepest, darkest back
woods are preparing to vote for
ABC stores.
On the other hand, there is the
lngrained opposition of the western
folks to legal liquor, as we'll as the
effect of organized, active Repub-
lican political power-both must be
set off against any possible effect of
the "legalize liquor and get the
tourist trade" campaign slogan.

| those who voted for it. 1t seems to
me, they did the right thing even
though had the bill passed and prov
en- as vicious as some say it would
have been. For it is patent fact our
present money policy is a disgrace
to the civilization we pretend to have
And as l have said thousand times:
If half the people, knew how the
money of this country was mana
ged there would be change in less
than a month. So as l see it, these
ninty-seven who voted for this bill
acted right and showed they were
! true servants of the plain people of
this country, while the 302 who vot-
ed against it showed just as clearly
they were the servants of the money
changers who have kept on the
grind-Stone the nose of the produc-
ing class throughout the entire his
tory of America.
The vote on this bill last Thurs
day should show the voters of our
entire county that less than one
fourth of the members of the lower
house of Congress, which should
have in it 435, are interested in do
ing anything for the betterment of
those who do all the work, therefore
producing all our living. This vote
should show the voters that when
Wall Street cracks the whip three
out of every four in Congress begin
to pull for organized wealth, notwith-
standing they know it is a curse to
our civilization and means sorrow,
pain and death to one out of every
three in this country.
