radio interests, and others who don t
have to shout to make their voices
heard in practical political affairs.
On the other hand, there are few
who question Mr.. Kimzey's ability to
make a good commissioner. One of
the finest compliments that could be
paid a new appointee came from an
active candidate for the same post
who remarked Monday:
well, l wanted the place and did
all l could to get it; but the COVER
nor is the final judge and, after all,

ter qualified for the place than 1

And so, by whatever devious
routes the appointment was reached
it is generally regarded as a good
one.

and November %, that year, when
North Carolina ratified the Constitu.-

tons set up in the various counties
for the purpose of taking title to the
machinery and managing their use.
County farm agents are ex officio
used for supervisory work. In prac-
tically every instance the terracing
outfits have been operated at a pro-
fit and in some cases the entire mi
tial cost has been liquidated. In some
counties the units were bought di-
rectly by the counties and have been
operated by them.
The units are rented, with opera
tors, to farmers desiring terracing
work on their lands, at a cost which
are much lower than if individuals
should attempt to do the same work
with their own machinery.
Mr.. Weaver said that terracing
work is being done by these coop
where such operations are feasible
He pointed out that there is no need
for terracing in the flat Eastern
counties while in the most noun
famous counties of the western Sec
ton it is impractical to do it.
Cost per acre and per 100 feet
varies, Of course, according to the
nature Of the lands worked Rental
Of the units is by the hour
More terracing has been done in
Iredell than in any other county Of
the State, with 10,400 acres and 586
miles of terrace Cost there was $2.3z
per acre, which is something above
the general average Highest cost
per acre was in Yadlin, $3.50; lowest
in Moore, 81 cents.

Oldest Inhabitants
Plea for D. T.. Vote
In Congress Hands
Personal Appeal Made
By Copper as He
Presents Petition

The Congressional Record today
carried a petition from the Asso-
citation Of Oldest Inhabitants of the
District Of Columbia urging that
Congress take early action to en-
franchise the District.
Senator Capper, Republican, of
Kansas presented the petition yes
terday along with his own plea
that the District be granted national
representation in both branches of
Congress and in the electoral COL
lege. Senator Capper is co-author
with Representative Norton of New
Jersey of proposed constitutional
amendment for that purpose.
The associations petition was in
the form of greeting to the new
Congress delivered before the Oldest
Inhabitants by Fred A. Emery and
adopted by the group. Theodore w.
Noyes, president of the association,
transmitted it to Senator Capper
in accordance with action taken
at the associations January meet
ing.
Senator Capper obtained permis-
sion to print the appeal in the
Record and then reiterated his own
views, as follows:
1T has always seemed to me a
rank injustice that the people Of
this, the Capital Of the greatest
state on earth, who are subject to
all the responsibilities and obliga-
tions Of citizenship the same as
citizens Of the several States. should
be denied what I consider the out
standing function of citizenship, the
right of suffrage, the right to vote
for President and Vice President;
the right to be represented in both
branches of Congress by members
of their own choosing. I think that
the plea presents a powerful argu-
ment for the enfranchisement of
the people of the District of Co.
lumbia.
II commend it to the thoughtful
consideration of Congress and in
terested citizens everywhere and
hope that it may be productive of
favorable action at an early date"

resting at the fair. On a steel arch

sition the huge map will be placed
