President Roosevelt's new
invisible spending sch EN- e
knocked the old congressional
crowd virtually speechlesse, OBJ
served Paul Mallon, veteran
Washington columnist, recently.
Hours afterward they had not
regained their breath sufficiently
to comment aloud.
Mr.. Mallon does not exaggerate
the invisible spending idea
is one of the most amazing things
ever to come out of often-amaz-
ing Washington. To tell the
story in its chronological order,
you have to begin with that
growing DOGGY, the national debt.
The legal debt limit-though
few people seem to know this--is
fixed by Congress. And it can be
changed only by the win of Con-
gress. At present. the limit is
established at $45, 900, 0OO. 600.
The national debt is now some
$40, 300, 600, 900. And it is slated
for a sharp rise next year. The
Administration has apparently
abandoned all hope Of balancing
the budget. and has decided that
continued, and perhaps increas-
ing, deficit financing is a neces-
sary and semi-permanent part of
our fiscal policy.
Thus, the President and his adj
visors have found themselves un-
comfortably close to the point
where it woul9 be impossible to
add to the debt, and the govern
ment would have no way what
soever of raising revenue beyond
its income. The obvious solution
was to request that Congress in
crease the debt limit. But that
isn't as simple as it sounds.
The present Congress has shown
itef to be definitely economy
minded, at least by comparison
with its immediate predecessors.
Early this session representatives
of the President sounded out
leading congressman on the pos
sibility of swiftly and quietly
passing bill to boost the debt
limit. The answers they got
were not reassuring. Consensus

time wouldn't come another day
when the Wage-hour law might stop
Mr.. Fenner in a serious manner, or
if his words of ridicule might not
arise some day in manner most
serious to the ambitions of Mr.. Fen

Much more significant, however,
than criticism of individual members
of the last legislature was the an
nouncement by Mr. Fink of "three-
point program to advance the cause
of labor, as he termed it, with an
educational campaign as the keystone.
of the trinity.
A thoroughly co-ordinated organ

rural legislators that the federation
isn't something with hoof and

j. w. Alexander of Mecklenburg,
Frank Taylor of Wayne and Bill
Fenner of Nash are singled out for
particularly keen shafts from the
Fink pen, and full warning is given
that labor will fight bitterly any am
bition that Fenner may have to be-
come governor.
OF Alexander, Fink says: "Of
course, there were some men who OPP
posed us simply because they are
opposed to labor in general. Repres-
entative Alexander of Mecklenburg
was extreme in his opposition to our
legislation. Mecklenburg is Gil
industrial county, and the labor
movement there is strong, and there
is no excuse for man like AleXan-
der being elected to the legislature.
His desire to fight us was deliberate"
Mr.. Taylor is chided by Fink
more, apparently, in sorrow than in
anger.
Taylor of Wayne is one of the
ablest men in the legislature", Fink
writes for example, but hastens to
add &C" it is hard to understand
how man of his great intelligence
and recognized honesty can say the
things he said about our measures.

Fenner draws the most drastic ar

particularly aroused by what Fenner
more than likely thought was right

Worlds Fair Big
Factor With Early
Summer Travel

Vacation travel by Carolinians,
who are allowed plenty of time for
sightseeing, has begun earlier this
year than in any previous year ac-
cording to information received from
K. P. Floyd, executive secretary of
the Carolina Motor Club.
Mr.. Floyd stated that, while nor
mally the heavy travel season does
not begin until around June, since
the first of May their headquarters
office and branch offices have been
flooded with requests for travel in
formation.
''The New York Worlds Fair is the
principal factor in the early upward
swing in travel, and it is very notice
able that this year persons in the
State are taking more extended trips
than heretofore. A large number of
those requesting routings to New
York for the fair, are also extending
their trip into the New England
States and an increasing number into
Canada. The Canadian capital of
Montreal has accounted for the larg-
est number of routings into Canada
while some include Quebec, where
the principal point of interest is the
Gaspe Peninsula, and others have
extended into Nova Scotia as the
main highways in Nova Scotia are
now paved.
An American citizen taking his
! car into Canada for pleasure pur-
poses can obtain a free sixty day
touring permit. If he wishes to stay
longer than sixty-days, he can have
this time extended up to six months
at the time of entry, or later by ap-
plying to any Canadian customs Of
flee. No passport or payment of any
tax is required for six months tour
A citizen of the United States must
have his automobile certificate of
registration to enter Canada. Tourists
should have in their possession ma
turalization certificates, passports or
proof of legal residence in the United
States.
Travel information also has been
furnished to persons visiting the San
Francisco Worlds Fair from the two
Carolinas and to others travelling
abroad
A comparison of the record OF
travel calls received at the clubs Sc
branch offices in the Carolinas also
reveals a perceptible increase in ira
vel coming into the Carolinas and
through the two states.
Especially because of the New
York Worlds Fair and other unusual
events, the club expects to expert
ence its heaviest travel season.

SPRING COMES TO DESERT

Of cedars, in a vibrancy of light

In light and shade pastels, are

easier
Incidentally, the variations in rates
for varying consumptions bring about
some queer quirks, as is shown by
the fact that Asheville and Raleigh
residents pay far less, between Is
and 100 kilowatts, than do the good
bourghers of Charlotte, Winston
Salem and Greensboro, but once the
$50 k. w. h. mark is passed the last

Of course, these Federal Power

Commission quite often; but they are
a bit timely just now in connection
with the High Point power con-
troversy.
At the risk of being branded a
''tool Of the power trust, it might
be pointed out that the cities served
by the two major companies of the
State Duke and Carolina-have the
lowest rates.

spoke on ''What Henderson Has Done
