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.

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.

Miss Thaden says: "Flying is a terrific
strain at times. I frankly don't know what I
should do without cigarettes. But I've found
that different cigarettes have different ef
fects on my nerves. For some years I've
smoked Camels. They taste better. They're

Miss Marsalis says: "I started smoking
Camels because most of my friends who
