consumers were buying more goods
than year ago but noted a lag
in purchases in certain farm areas,
particularly cotton and tobacco
regions which have lost much Of
their export market since the war
started.
Federal reserve estimates on de-

year-to-year gain of 18 per cent in
the Dallas reserve district, II per

2 per cent in the New York area.
A heat wave, however, was cited

TAX SURPLUS "GRAVY"
MONEY FOR GOV. HOLT

CHARLESTON w. Va.-In-
creased tax collections for the
current fiscal year, which are
running ahead of estimates, do
rot mean relief for the taxpayer,
because the state administration
al A4s' ~ 80 ..C..r 1
through its rigldly controlled '39
legislature is already given per-
missions to spend every cent of
it.
In this connection, Robert H. G..
Kay, Republican state chairman
pointed out that the last legisla-
ture appropriated every cent
that it was estimated would be
raised from taxes and then pro-
vided that if there is any money
over and above the specific appro
priations, the board of public
works - that is the governor
and his cabinet members-could
spend it as they see fit.

1t is not a nice thing to dis
pute the ver-acity Of a statement
uttered by the President of the
United States, whoever he may
be. Yet when the President of
the United States, whoever he
may be, stoops to such chican-
cry as that statement honesty
demands frank talking. Mr..
Roosevelt simply did not tell the
truth. Perhaps, he did not in
tend to engage in gross mis-
representation - perhaps his
brain-trust misinformed him.
But whatever the reason, his
statement is not true.
A few acts passed in the POS
which fall into the category the
President had in mind follow,
and there are many, more we
do not have space to list:
Grain Futures Act of 1922,
Packers and Stockyards Act of
1921, Cotton Standards Act of
1923, Federal Water Power Act
of 1880, Radio Act of 1927 Air
Commerce Act of 1923 and etc.
Maternity and Infancy Act of
1921, Proposed Child Labor Act
to the constitution (amendm't),
child Labor Act of 1923 for d. c.,
u. S. Board of Mediation Act of
1926, Veterans Pension Acts,
and others.

on May 18th. The tremendous
popular support given Dawson
in all parts of West Virginia,
when coupled with his majority
in his home county, will give
HIM an Overwhelming victory
Dawson supporters confidently
declare.
Leaders of a large southern
county visited last week. assured
Dawson campaign managers
that Mayor Dawson would re-
ceive from rs to 80 per cent of
the votes cast in that county in
the primary. This is said by
Dawson supporters to be typical
Of the trend in southern West
Virginia. Their enthusiasm is
further encouraged by the fact
that tbs natural trend is spread
ing rapidly throughout all parts
Of the state.
In announcing his candidacy
for the Republican nomination
for governor subject to the May
14th primary Mayor Dawson
called attention, among other
things to the great need for
more efficient operation of the
state government to give greater
value for the taxpayers dollar
relief for debt-ridden and handi-
capped municipalities; and the
immCdiate removal of the public

Oh yeah?

SO successful have the New
Deal Smear" campaigns been
the past, that the Democratic
LEADERS, now cast aside all sense
of reason and proportion in their
desperate efforts to make it ap-
pear that they and they alone,
possess the ability and virtue to
govern this country.
There is, of course, nothing
novel about excessive eXaggera-
tions by New Dealers. 1t was
back in 1885 that President
Roosevelt uttered the modest
claim that the mechanics of civil
zation commenced to move on
March a 1888. Implied was the
thought that no other president
or administration had ever per-
Toned a decent or humanitarian
act before he came on the Wash
ington scere.
Now Mr.. Roosevelt makes more
speciflc-and thus more absurd
his 1885 claim. Speaking of the
nirten-tWenties in his speech to
the America Youth Congress
several weeks ago, Mr.. Roosevelt
had this to say:
"During those ten years you
can't find a single statute enact
ed for the restraint of eXcesses,
enacted for the good, the better
ment of the permanent security
of the individual. That is
Observation-Disclosures fact
= sad fact, which the American
public fortunately has not for

When they have waded long
i'll the muddy waters of politics
Il certain amount of mud is bound
to cling to the most pure and
blameless. For that reason, a
new man in politics often makes
Il better nominee than one too
long before the public. Tom
Sweeney is 36 new in the game,
and has proven this truth. He
carried the First Senatorial Dis
trict in 1888 by one of the larg-
est turnover of votes in the
history of the state. Remember
him on May IA if you are.one Of
those Republicans who believe
in the reed of our party for
newer and younger blood.

ANTI-LYNCH BILL HEARING
SER FOR MARCH TWELFTH

k..WashingtOn- Positively the
final hearing on the federal
anti-lynching bill will be held
Tuesday morning, March IL, at
1890 o'clock. it was announced
here this week by Senator Fred
erick Van Mugs, of Indiana,
chairman of the subcommittee
in charge of the measure.
Senator Van Mugs said two
witnesses are to be heard in OPP
position to the bill. They are
Ex-Governor Earl Brewer OF
Mississippi and Attorney Gen.
Rice of Mississippi.
After these witnesses are heard
March 12," said the Senator,
1.-The subcommittee will present
its report to the full Judiciary
committee at the regular meet
ing March 10. There will be no
further postponement of action.
The subcommittee met March
; and heard John p. Davis, Sec'y
of the National Negro Congress
and Ben Davis, one of the edit
ors Of the Daily Worker, testi-
iy IN support of the bill. The
committee voted to hear Ben
Davis after Chairman Van Mugs
read letter from the Commun-
iSt party asking that he be per-
mitted to testify.
Define alarm over what has
been described as the dilatory
tatics employed by Van Mugs in
permitting Senator Connally to
make god his threat to delay the
! hearings in order to keep the
bill from coming to the Senate
floor was expressed in a telegram
sent to the subcommittee by
Walter White, executive Secre-
| tary Of the National AsSDcia-
ton for the Advancement of
Colorcd People.
The telegram, which stated
that it was imperative there be
no delay because there is &
growing criticism throughout
the country over delay of the bill
reaching the Senate" was sent
at noon on Monday, March 6, il
anticipation of the fact that thu
bearings would close Tuesday
March 7. This was the date Sc
by Senator Van Mugs on Febru
airy twenty-second.
In a statement issued by the
NAACP secretary said:
"The only thing that will force
action on the anti-lynching bill
is an avalachc Of letters to mem.
bers Of the subcommittee lett
ing them know that friends OF
this bill want it passed at this
session of Congress-"
