States, holds greater promise of record sales and profits volume than "eVer before in the opihibh oTIeadihg’ merchants who, in coojjeratioH with the Cotton-Textile In.stTtuteJ are making preparations for the national event. The purpose of Cotton We^k, as thc" captain imiicates, ds to bring forcibly before the people the many advan tages and economic soundness of making a still wider use of home grown and homemanufactured cotton goods. Certainly it behooves the South, more than an^ other section of the country, to I^f^d the world in were more than $102,000,000 greater, j fiddles and juice harps, allso 5 gittars per capita consumiftion of its native <unipt \)p(hIu aiul Iniportant i^^luct. We are asked to think cottoiv, nuy cotton, wear cot ton,' use cotbrn, :boost cotton. The whole idea is to bring about on the pai't of the buying jfublic an .increased con<umption of cotton goods. The ob- .servnnce has the added advantage of coming at the time in early June when, even if the other elements were abseiit fi^oni the prospectr the- cool comfort and all-purpose adaptability of cottom have tjieir greatest appeal to eon.sumcrs. This community will do well to join with the Elation in observing Cotton Week. The itjea should appeal to the ‘Cnmfnon sense* of all—the grower, the .«;hipper, the rnerchanf, the manufac turer and the consumer. Regular departmental expenses weTe m'ore~ than~$44,000^,000 i^reater. And so the story goes—more spend- ihg, more wasting and piling up of debt on taxpayers with the report on fe^ierak finances showing a $418,000,- OOO/dfeficit for the fiscal year 1938 dpe to a heavy fall-off" in estimated revenue and the president’s request for a $1,500,000,000 work relief ap propriation. Some of the pressident's senatorial friends are urging that this figure be cut to one billion, with the added proposal that all appTnpri- ations be sliced ten per cent.

It is therefore extremely <loubtful that thist>. amount will be sl.ashed. r There are -Jji'o so-called economy plans before congress. One proposes a t^m per cent reduction in appropri ations. The other plan, carrying thd president’s approv^ proposes “to im- ;K)und.ir) per cent of all apflropri- ations and give power to the White House to reallocate the imjwunded funds,” The president by his plan says in substance, “action is not need ed now, leave it tame, I will act if an<l wlien 1 think best.” The proposal rtf Robinsom-Bymes is the sounder and the one that congress should adopt. .

At the same breath we are al.so told that unem ployment is widespread and requires a continued spending of huge sums for relief. The two coridiJtjoPs are in direct conflict. But in spite of the marked im provement that has been made, the federal government is going right on spending more for -what k-' ter«ia “emergency” purposes. This startling fact stands out in the official treas ury statement of April 1. During«the first nine months of the current fiscal, year, as compared vrith the, same period in the last fis cal year, WPA expenditures were taiore than 1700,000,000 greater. cituis H a misunderstoixl language Hopkins want.s to make relief and the spending of taxpayers’ money for ev ery conceivable purpose a pennanent and expensive policy as his record shows. But regardless of what this gi’oup agitates, the country is sick of the reckless spending and wastiivg of billions of dollars which must be shouldered upon the taxpayers. We h&ve had preached too long the gos pel of less work and more pay w’ith the result that a great mass of people now hold that it is the government’s responsibility to provide them a liv ing. This country .has a long road to travel before it gets back to national solvency. With more than thirteen billion added to the national debt dur ing the past four years, ^his stagger ing figure has now reached thirty-Hve billions. The^cost of government has reached a proportion beyond all reason and ple.se . give this peace a prominent place in yore paper: we want the world to know that they have an or- statement that “never before in his-T^^^ wholesale practice of dishing out funds should be put to an^gnd. A bal ance of the budget should not be sought by more increased taxation and little,/'if any, by cutting down cm expenditures as certain membere of congress argue—but by retrenchment — a curtailing vs spending ^which means an easing of the burden on taxpayers rather than increasing it.
