Rv LYNN NTSRET

Raleigh, April Getting off to
late start, due to the fact that the
Senate was delayed for nearly a half
hour in keeping its date with the
House,. the joint session for election
of trustees of the Consolidated Uni
versity Of North Carolina had the
easiest time of any similar meeting
in years, once it did get started.
The joint committee reported nom
inees for the full and unexpired
terms on the board, and only one
amendment was offered. Senator
Cogburn, of Haywood, attempted to
get the name of Mrs. w. T. Hanna.
of his county, put on to fill out the
term of her late husband, which ex-
pires next April, and to which the
committee had nominated Represen-
tative Marvin Ritch, of Mecklenburg.
The amendment was Overwhelming
ly defeated.
Contests over membership on the
board of trustees which loomed some
weeks ago either disappeared entire
ly or were irOned out in committee
and when the roll call vote was tab
ulated only one senator and three
representatives had voted against the
committee nominees. Senator Cog
burn claimed that the distribution
was unequal, that the west did not
have its. share of representation. DR..
Will Long, of Alamance, said that his
county was one Of the highest tax
payers in the State and one of the
chief patrons of the university, and
still did not have a member on the
board of trustees, so he couldn't vote
for the report.
Although the joint session was in
action only about ten minutes. it
really took nearly an hour out of the
working time of the House. Set for
1890, the House at that hour ssus-
pended regular business to await the
Senate. For some minutes before that
the placing of extra chairs and 9TH
er necessary arrangements for the
Joint meeting had upset routine, and
when the senate finally arrived at
1850 the house members were in the
huinor to dispose of the business and
adjourn. -

ANSWERS.

l. The Budget Commission report
to the present legislature for the
past fiscal year showed the total
number of employees to be 1917 with
total salaries amounting to $7,148,1 1874
2. A dangerous shortage of food
crops made it necessary to place an
embargo on expectation of "all In
dian Corn, Wheat, Pears, or other
Grain, and all Flour, or Meal from
the Province. Officers were instruct
ed to go aboard ships and seize all
such shipments, except those needed
for rationing the ship.
3. A writer to the Lords Proprie-
tors in 1725 said, "there is no such
thing as tenants to be found in North
Carolina, for every man is land
lord''. Today 47.2 percent of the
farms in North Carolina are operat-
ed by tenants.
a. Francis Lister Hawks, born at
New Bern in 1789
5. A. report on proposed internal
improvements in that year says, re-
garding the Neuse: with little labor
it can be made navigable for steam
boats as high as Smithfield, and pro-
bably higher. Its navigation for light
boats, may be extended to the juno
ton of its main branches, and pro-
bably up the Emo by Dams and
Locks to the Town of Hillsborough." ."

ocrats and 25 wings; in the house, SO

Raleigh, April 1.-The Senate
spent more than an hour Friday
discussing black bass in Currituck
county with some side comment
about mule named Cicero; but the
Senate did not have time to discuss
the bill redrafting the law concern
ing estates and descents of property
in North Carolina
Upon motions of Senator George
Ward, of Duplin, consideration of
SB99 was postponed indefinitely.
upon the ground that it was so late
III the session that the senators did
not have time to study the bill. This
motion prevailed by vote of 20 to
a., despite the fact that for many
weeks each senator has had on his
desk the full text of the act, prepar-
ed by a commission of elf inent law
yers appointed in 1885 and continu-
ed. in 1887; and despite the further
fact that members of this commits
sion appeared before the senate sit
ting in committee of the whole some
three weeks ago and explained the
new law in detail.
The l16-page pamphlet containing
the revision of the law was report-
ed by Senator Colds judiciary com
mlttee without prejudice, and at
that time the prediction was made
that few senators would take the
trouble to read it, To obviate ne
cessity for reading it, the authors
were asked to explain it. The ex-
planation evidently wasn't satisfac-
tory; neither, apparently. was the
authorship. A majority of the SEN
a1ors are lawyers; they know some
tnlng about the law as it is now writ
ten and they didn't relish the bust
ness of having to go back over all
that law again. and find out what
the new code set up. So they lust
Killed the whole proposal. At least
that IS the line of reasoning imputed
10 them by at least one senator who
is not a lawyer.

Two Sets of Rules


This, in a nutshell, is the much
publlcized farm problem. On one
hand, we have millions of farmers
absolutely unorganized with no re-
striction on their hours or their nav
scales (prices). On the other hand
we. have groups of highly organized
labor unions strictly limiting hours
unwlsely raising pay scales, and. in
some cases, limiting even the amount
OF work done per hour. Stiff initia-
ton rules by some unions create an
artificial shortage of workers. Paw
scales are not reduced even in the
hardest times, while rules of senior
lty hamstring efficiency.
Farmers bear many costs. other
than industrial labor, which are also
fixed. Farm taxes have increased
Freight rates are the same. depres-
sion or prosperity. Insurance nerm-
lun1s are stable. Prices of trucks and
farm tools vary only slightly. where
as wheat slumps from $12O nor
Dushel to 60 cents per bushel in one
season. .Overalls and dresses drop
only 10 per cent, while wool and cot
ION slide 40 per cent. The regiment
ing OF part of our economic system
keeps the prices of finished goods
relatively inelastic, while a free
n1arekt for commodities makes farm
prices stretch and contract like a
srubbef band. :
Farmers Getting Short End

Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-04-01

cause labor is organized, the law of
supply ana demand is temporarily set
|aSlde-particularl as to wages in the
building trades and other strongly
organized industries. In this respect,
the farmer is greatly handicapped.
Ii certain parts of the economic syS-
tenn are to be rigidly regimented,
t4len all parts should be. If we favor
the uniOnizing Oh labor and the liking
OF other casts, such as freight rates,
taxes, and the like, then we should
lavor powerful farmers union.
Think what farmers union could
do. Today, farm labor makes 20 to
rs cents an hour. This compares with
9I.35 for the building trades, 83 cents
Tor steel workers, and SO cents for
textile and shoe operators. Wages of
these groups are all reflected in the
{ price OF goods the farmer must buy.
So are service industries, such as
trucking, gasoline and electricity.
Pay scales are not so high in the
latter industries as in the building
trades. Yet, if all the various types
OF labor, which contribute to the
raising of farm products, were paid
at the building trade rates, farmers
would have to sell their products at
about four times current prices to
make costs.
What if Farmers UniOnize
Ii farmers should organize they
! would agree not to sell any products
at less than union" prices, such as
81 per dozen for eggs, ST per pound
| for butter, 80 cents per pound for
cotton. They should stick to these
prices regardless of the amount of
eggs, butter and cotton on hand. They
would let the surpluses rot if neces-
sary, and then get on WPA, which
is what building tradesmen do. It
truly is tragic to think of what would
happen if farmers played the same
game that labor plays. Of course, in
the end both farmers and labor would
be worse off than before there were
any unions or price-fixing.
AS the situation stands now. in
dustrlal workers are exploiting farm
workers and the farm workers. can
! not get together and retaliate. Of
course, any suggestion to unionize
farmers is pure fantasy. I bring it
forward merely to show what the re-
suit would be if we regimented our
entire economy in the same way that
half of it is now being regimented

position because what wage-fixing
we are now doing seems to be meet
ing with lot of approval-not only
from industrial workers but, pecul-
larly enough, from farmers them
selves.
Trouble Not With System
Frankly, cannot understand whv
we are giving up the principles which
made this country big and great
namely free market for labor and
commodities including farm pro-
ducts. The present demand for fixing
prices, pegged pay scales, guaran-
teed security, and the like will even
tually ruin the United States unless
we return to a free unregimented
economy. | am Americas No. one
