“COTTON WEEK” AGAIN
“NationAl Cotton W^l^»” jdesignat-
ed this year for May 31 to June 5
throughout the Unit^. 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

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. But
were on hands, but the,heads of re-

done, a few of them stood outside of

songs ever now and then, a good time

There are -Jji'o so-called economy

president’s approv^ proposes “to im-

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

and the one that congress should
adopt. .

SPENDING VS CURTAILING
We are told from Washington that
the depre.ssion is over. 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.
