Byron On Our Way Bruce Bliven in the New Republic Quotes one of the best Informed observers of public affairs in Washington as fol lows concerning the N. R. A.: Two things to remember: First, that what Is now being done can never be undone. If the new deal succeeds we won t go back; if It falls, we can t no matter who wants to or how much. Tho command is for- ward, from now on. And the movement Is cnrtainlu toward the left. Becond: No one should get too much excited about the Inadequacies ot some of the first codes which are being set up, the fact that minimum wages are too low and working weeks longer than the country needs to produce all the goods which can possibly be sold. The Important thing Is not the texU of the codes, but the fact that we have them at all, that the Industries are accepting them, no matter how reluctantly, with how ever many sighs or goans or inward reservations. Once any code is in effect .machinery exists for changing it on brief notice, in any direction ana to practically any degree. The amazing thing about the whole procedure is the bewildering rapidity with which the N. R. A. machinery has worked and that discordant and disgruntled and faction torn Industries could be brought together under any code. It is high tribute to both the president and General Johnson. Practically all the great basic industries, except coal, which has been the worst managed of them all, have now signed codes for minimum wages and maximum hours and fair practices. And if coal does not provide its own code, one will be forced upon it, as the oil code was on the oil industry. Of course the "new deal", this effort to substitute a plan ned national economy under federal supervision for destruc tive competition, is experimental and tentative and subject to being scrapped without notice, as the president frankly admits, but it is at least an intelligent effort to rebuild the industrial world and restore prosperity. And when 120 mi lion people work in union in a common effort under able leadership, any goal can be attained. Missouri Shows 'Em That Missouri hitherto strongly prohibition, should vote three to one for repeal, only emphasizes the complete col lapse of prohibition sentiment. Missouri is the 22nd state to vote for repeal and there are indications that not a single state will be carried bv the drys. A year ago, the most optimistic wet would not have dared to predict that within 12 montns 22 states woum De on record for repeal. Whether this result would have been achieved long ago, had the people been given the opportunity n vnte. will never be known, but it is apparent that the long er the trial, the greater the failure of prohibition and it vis thn Innir vears of trial that cinchetl its defeat. Yet for 13 years and longer, politicians had been scared into fits by the pressure politics of the drys. And with good reason, for the political graveyard is full of tombstones put there by the drys. Many able men were retired from public life for refusal to wear the yoke, and others listed with the lame and the halt. This was done by terrorist tactics, unit ing the drys, as a balance of power to help elect their can- 'riirlnrna rmrnrrlless of linvtv nild lltlllisll lllCir opponents. Yet we believe the drys were always a minority in the nation at large and the prohibition era simply minority rule. Given a chance to voice their sentiment, the majority is be ing heard from in no uncertain manner. Tho pent-up wrath Of 13 years is venting itself and making a clean sweep. Sales Tax the Answer It is now proposed to raise relief revenues by a tax on beer, which would amount to a sales tax on the consumer, and this despite tho fact that the people of Oregon by an overwhelming majority voted down a general sales tax that would have rehabilitated tho finances of the state. But while Oregon was killing a sales tax North Carolina was enacting one a 3 percent tax which is being cheerfully ipaid by the consumer, who doesn't object to it. The only ob jection was by the state merchants' association and it has 'dropned the fight. The tavheel sales tax was adopted as an emergency meth od of taking care of the state deficit. Demands for reduction In land taxes by the counties and municipalities had increas ed (there is no state tax on land in North Carolina). To meet these demands, maintenance and construction of all roads outside of incorporated places had previously been taken over and financed by the state, which also has assumed the entire school burden. These added expenses and the climbing deficit made a $ales tax the only apparent method of getting the money. No one in the state administration favored the idea. The merchants of the state fought it to the finish. Returns for the first month indicate that the North Carolina sales tax will yield ?12 millions a year without im posing a burden upon anyone. Continuation of Old Age Pensions From Page One fair that they may he higher than last year, with the federal govern ment drawing In Its horns a little 11 relief work. Under the old age pension law effective after the first of the year, any person 10 years old or over, a resident of the state for 15 years and of the county for two years, Is eligible to a pension, under certain conditions, They must not be self supporting or havo certain relatives able to support them. They must have a clean record as to crtmo and for the year preceding making ap plication for the pension must not have been a tramp or professional beggar. There are other restrictions but these are tno nigh spots in the Inhibitions. But Judge Slcgmund, while he has kept no accurate check, be lieves there have been enough ap plicants already in discussing the matter with tho court, who do not come under any of the prohibitions mentioned, who will be eligible for pensions to run the pension hill up to the $100,000 figure. The law places a maximum of $30 a month on the amount of the pen sion with the amount under that discretionary with the court. Some county officials have advised the secretary of state's office that their respective counties cannot raise the money needed under the law. But this has been on a practical basis so far and without questioning the legality of tho act. But it is pretty generally understood among coun ty officials that it Is tho intention of the act; Is provisions are man datory on the counties and that the court's discretion as granted by the act is to bo a reasonable one and that the pensions are to be paid. Sellers Honored Monmouth. A a parting gesture the Delve Blblo class of tho Evan gelical church gave a picnic dinner at Hclmlck sUUe park Thursday eve ning for Mr. and Mrs, B. L. Sellers and daughter, Janet, who are leav ing the early part of next week for Brooks. Later in the evening the honor guests were again feted, this time by the entire personnel of the Sunday school, which retired to the church parlors for a social evening and refreshments. r AtefM's I ..Copyright, 1933. oj Paul Utllonl Washington, Aug. , 21 No Presi dent ever talked to big Industrialists the way Mr. Roosevelt did in that conference recently with soft coal men. It was not a conference, but a lecture. Only half the story was published. Mr. Roosevelt kept him about it. He did not want to spank the industry publlcily. The time for that had not then arrived. What leaked out about It later was whispered by the coal men to their friends. It was enough to show that the President's confidential meetings with industry marked a major turn ing point in the administration program. The coal crowd was ushered Into the Presidential office for what they thought was a- conference. They were invited to sit down. Mr. Roose velt immediately opened up. What tie told them was substan tially this: "You fellows do not appear to re alize that we are in a new age. The government is going to see this thing tnrougn. 11 you don t behave and co operate we will be compelled to make you do so. "Labor troubles In your industry have done more to promote com munism In the U. 3. than anything else. I will give you 48 hours to sign up." Those are not direct quotations but the essence of a 40-minute speech. The President gave details of what he wanted In the code. No one was permitted' to get a word in edgewise. When the President concluded, he said: "Good day, gentlemen." They filed out thinking what a bad day it really was. They were angry enough to have bitten his ear off, but they said very little about it to him. They declined to talk to newsmen outside. To show they had learned nothing, they im mediately went back to their hotel and voted to stand by the open shop. Later they learned Mr. Roosevelt had talked in the same tone of voice to the steel men. Until these lectures, most of the big stick talk was just talk. It was fostered by the administration to bring the recalcitrants Into line. Very little of a threatening nature was actually attempted. When the real flaying began ev eryone closed up tight. General Johnson was as innocent as a new born babe. Why, he would not harm anyone for the world. He was mere. ly waiting codes to bring the in dustrialists together. Just a big bro. ther to the world. The strategy was cleverely thought out. What the administration must re ly on in this thing is not the law, but public opinion. No matter what the law says, Johnson can do only what he can get away with. The administration advisers were very confident they would have pub lic opinion behind them. Every op portunity for voluntary cooperation had been given. Unusual patience had been displayed. Every argument from the industries had been heard. Desired results were being delayed. The time had come to act or back down. Russia Political racketeers are mixed up on the inside of the Rus sian recognition situation. No less than three have scented the gravy in commerce with the Reds. They have been snooping around government agencies and tying up with exporting industries. They have proposed more schemes than the Russians ever thought of. Government officials are on to the racket. That Is what has been holding up trade developments. Most of the scliemes center around the creation of a central credit agency to finance Russian Imports and exports. Naturally, they want the government to put up the mon ey. Something will be done along that line, but not until the gravy is earn, inn ted. The most logical of the three schemes is one which requires the P. C, to give 60 to 70 per cent of a proposed $100,000,000 credit fund. Private American banks and Industry would handle the rest. The export fund would be repaid by Rus sian buying here. Basically, it is a good scheme, but the final form of it will bo on a much smaller scale with the govern ment carrying less of the load.

Your taste and your nerves will confirm this. Turn to Camels.
