LOTTERY LAWS

CIVIC clubs that stage fish fry, dance, ETC. and
award door prize to the lucky ticket holder
treading the lottery laws.
The National Editorial Association had this to say
about lottery laws:
although the following is not specifically emsa
bodied in the postal regulations, the best test to
apply, as far as the Post Office Department is
cerned to advertising when a lottery may be involved
to see If the following three elements present:
% a prize; (2) considerations (3) a chance
III someone must pay something consideration
In order to qualify or be eligible to win some goods
or service (priZe) the winning of which is decided
or determined by the drawing of lots turning of a
wheel. etc (chance) a lottery exists. i.
If of the three elements is lacking there car
be no lottery.
If you pay money in order to compete for a
name from hat, there is lottery.
Consideration is lacking. specific exame of
Such a case would be the winning of automobile
at an auto show. If the cards to be filled out are
available in front of the auditorium and containers
are there in which the cards to 1e deposited and
the winner does not have to be present drawing
there is lottery.
If the cards and deposit boxes are inside the
building and admission charge required in order
to compete, this would constitute a lottery
The three-element test also be applied to "door
prizes If payment must be made, such as an adj
mission price to theater, in order to eligible for
the door prize ,and if the winner is determined bv
drawing name, all three elements present This
would be lottery.
Suppose a Kiwans Club is having a Iuncbeoyn
meeting at which door prizes are to be awarded bv
drawing lucky names from a bowl If luncheon tickets
must be purchased to be eligible for prize Iottery
exists ''''
Thus, keep in mind these things when Won nlar
your next civic club promotion.
Do the duty which lies nearest you and when vo,
have done that you will be able to see the next dutv
more plainly. ''

ing decrease which makes proportionate
decrease in the average acreage per farm.
The per farm reduction has been ga acres
in 1884 to Ia acres in 1850. Decreases have
been in force since 1850.
For Prince Edward County the impend-
ing cut will reduce the average allotment
to LA acres, with 400 farmers of the 776
having less than an acre allotment. Many
of these may be forced out Of the produc-
ton, as it is considered uneconomical to
grow less than an acre.
The small production likewise brings
increasing problems to the tobacco deal
ers. Customers want certain grades of to-
bacco, which are not grown in sufficient
quantities in the reduced crop. Therefore,
substitutes grown elsewhere are being
used, with the result that foreign markets
can be lost permanently.
The tobacco program has been profit
able to the Agricultural Department.
Loans from the Commodity Credit Corpor-
alton have been satisfied It has aided the
grower so far as price is concerned, but
it has definitely curtailed his markets and
forced him into other products.
Virginia Type Il should definitely be
placed on a quota of its own independent
of Types %, %, Pa In that way the Virgin
ia dark fred markets can be held, and the
Virginia growers can remain in produc-
ton. The unsolved problem of 1850 raises
it's ugly head again in 1856. We hope pro-
gress can be made this year, for unless the
Is per cent cut is restored many small
growers are in for rough going
A fair settlement of the problem would
be separation Of Type 81 into a program
of its own At least this would settle pres
ent unbearable inequalities

Pops Up Again

THE FALLACY in treating all dark-fired
tobacco under one program by the.
United States Department of Agriculture
comes to light again. The Department has
ordered an additional reduction in acre
age for next season of Is per cent. This
reduction coming on top of cut of 10 per
cent last year reduces the acreage in the
Virginia dark fired tobacco belt almost to
the vanishing point.
There is demand for Virginia Type
81, and a surplus of Kentucky and Ten
nessee Types %, 3d. "a. Yet, when consid-
cred by the "paternal' government all
dark-fired tobacco is the same. While the.
Kentucky and Tennessee tobacco lies IN
storage to the point of deterioration, grow
ers in Virginia must reduce their produc-
ton of tobacco which is in demand.
The plight is nothing new. 1t was argu7<
ed out in 1850, to the point where Mr..
Thigpen, then Chief of the Tobacco Sec
ton, came down to Farmville to talk to
thousand growers, incidentally on the cold
est day in February that we can remem-
ber There was "a lot of talk, and myriad
of statistics, which showed conclusively
that Type 81 tobacco was different from
the other types and should be treated sep
sarately "A cut was forstalled but the prob
lem remained 1t just doesen't make sense
that Type Fl being in demand should be
penalized because the other types are IN
surplus, for the simple reason that the
trade does not want the product.
Virginia dark-fired tobacco has contin-
ued to decline from "a million pounds III
l91O to SO million in 1922; 25 million in
1888; Is million in 1910; II million in
1913 to 10l. million i'm 1854.

Richmond. Va. - Consent OF
the. governor" it says in the
Declaration OF Independence, is
where all government derives its
lust powers" This is an ex-
| tremely subtle point OF abstract
philosophy. and you might say
it belongs in the classroom-but
not so.
Here in the capital of the Old
Dominion. which is the heartland
of the Old Confederacy. the two
daily newspapers are trying to
put across this point to their
readers and to the members of
the Generally Assembly now in
session.
The meaning of the phrase
consent Of the governed" is sub
tie only because it is SO beauti-
fully simple. 1t means what it
says. It doesn't mean anything
else. although several genera
tons Of pettifoggers and special
| pleaders have gummed up its
true sense with gibbrish. Con-
sent does not mean initiative or
action. Nor does it mean indiffer-
ence or lsubmission. It just means
agreement. All government. then,
| requires the agreement or con-
sent Of those governed.
Vote to Dissent
Well. Virginia very definitely
does not consent to be governed
by the Supreme Court decision
Of May II. 1854. in which the
nine justice in effect outlawed
racial segregation in the public
schools Of any state. Virginia has
Just held plebiscite and voted
2 to to descent from the SUI
preme Court decision. AS a re-
suit Of this vote a State Consti-
tutional Convention will meet next
March to insure that deSegre-
cation is not forced upon school
districts which are unwilling to
accept it.
There is a lot more going on
here in connection with the SUI
preme Court decision. but this

the Supreme Court decision is the
nub Of it. A sovereign state is ap-
pealing to laws that are older and

stitution. For they are the laws
Of abstract rightness. It Is right
for people to resist tyranny
Of any kind. Thomas Jefferson

INTEGRATE RACES in schools and ex-

Indignation proponents. Saving would
depend upon. conditions, but we shall not
argue the question.
In Washington, D. c., which is sup
posed to be the model Of schools under a
system of Indignation of races, It Is inter-
esting to note that more teachers are being
required The Evening Star in an edi torial
January % had this to say:
The chief reason supporting substantial
increase in teachers aside from the growth OF
school population. is that our standards OF edu-
cational achievement must be raised. When
tests show that OF Ass tenth-grade tflrst-year

them had reached only sixth grade or under

educational standards going to suffer unless
tins dangerous situation is relnedied. The real
issue now as DR.. Corning told the Board OF
Education last week. is the "unquestionable
need for additional teachers that all the
school will be adequately stated to serve ever
increasing numbers of children with extremely
varying abilities and achievement. The mere
size of classes is not the real issue.
