February 23, 1934 " rosXOP A NEWSPAPER I.ee WoaUievs. its editor, says something which few people know about the cost of making a news- 1 paper, ami whut pauses some sub- 1 scrihers to get awry their ideas of what its selling price should be. Jlc ~V says: "paring the year 1933 The Clove- j land Star printed 155 issues 'of the j paper. These issues containing a , day-to-day history of Cleveland ! county are bound in two big books a\the end of the year and will be-j come Nn time priceless volumes of history. Each suscriber who received the paper a full year, received . 1,359 pages of the paper. it re- j quired 23 pounds of paper to servo each subscriber. In all, 89 tons of, paper was used to print 4,751) copies 1 155 times. "It cost $8.59 por subscriber to produce The Star last year. Subscribers paid $2.50 a year, if served by mail, $3 per year if served by carrier boy in Shelby and suburbs. The difference in t.he cost was paid by advertisers?local merchants, penny column, national display and legal. In other words a subscriber is paid to take the paper. Sometimes we have a subscriber who wonders why his copy was stopped if in- failed to pay his third of the cost. And yet there are numerous newspaper subscribers who ask, "Why don't you reduce the subscription pi.ee <>l your paper?"

Capital Observations (Special Correapoixience) Washington, Feb. 20.?-Investiga-r tion by a Senate committe of airmail contract* awarded by past administrations is still g<>i??g on and will likely continue for some weeks to come. In accordance with his own request former Postmaster Ooneral Hrqwn appeared^ bet,me Dm commit.' too and whs' heard only upon bis agreeing to waive immunity for any admission he "might make, as other- j wise he might not be subject to crimina) prosecution in case #uoh? action might be found to be warranted. As might be expected he made no nek- [ n'owledgmcnt which would involve himself. A main fca^re stressed in his testimony was that of thirty-four contracts only three were let, during , lus uncunibency of the position us; head of the Post Office, Department. The- others having been awarded by his predecessor, Harry S. New. The latter, a broken-down politician and defeated Senator of Indiana, was brought by Harding before his death into his cabinet, which became notorious because of several of its members being prosecuted criminally. New's main achievement was running up a tremendous, deficit, and he was noted for his apparent determination to allow no one to become a postmaster except a Republican, whenever one could be found, which was not always easy in the South. Doubtloss the statute of limitations would bar its prosecution now, if it should be found that there are grounds for such action. * * A development of the hearings of tlie airmail investigating oemmittee is the,., sending" of one aviation company official to jail for ten 'days for ' t ii.tempt of the Senate for removal J and destruction of papers called for i !>\ the committee. William P. Mac-] f Taken,* Jr.. the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics in the I Hoover administration, .faces a like .- ntencc. but he haf^Tppciiled to the com;-. and is at liberty under a heavy bond, pending the outcome. ? A glowing sentiment is apparent in the llou-e of Kepre>entati\es for the pay mini of the soldiers' bonus. | amounting approximately to $2.100,- i itmi.oon. The administration .and the Pemoeraiic leaders in general are oppoM'-.l, particularly at this time, be- j cause of the enormous expenditures . that have been made, and which are j continuing to be made in connection j with tin- iccovery program. If the. j.roj oi.i i.t.-. can force a vote on the i proposition il is believed that it will Po favorably acted upon by the lie; . . Trial body passed the bonus j bill daring (lie last Congress, and it fa : . file upper bouse.

T ;- ? otint ;y'> going off the j gold standard practically reduced the1 deb'- 1 ?\ two-fifth.-, ;u- payment could r.ow be made with sixty cent dollars.' but it is not likely that that induce-! merit will be taken advantage of to. anv considerable extent. : i No on? seems tQ be worrying about the rapidly mounting national debt, steadily growing because of relief land recovery measures. A pertinent view was illustrated recently in a newspaper cartoon, which showed the president rolling a great snow ball, with the legend saying that of course it's growing, but it will melt. Ihe average man need not be much collet'rnod. The tendency is more and more to make taxes, especially national levies, fall most heavily upon those best able to meet them. The poor man contributes but little toward national expenditures. One-third of the Senate and the entile membership of the House of Representatives will be elected this Fall, and ihe Republican party is in a quandary to find issues, or even one effective issue, upon which to make an aggressive fight. Naturally the predominant feature of tne coming campaign will be tho policies of tho administration. The Democrats have only to ask what would or could be done if endorsement is not given, and the reply is "Roosevelt or ruin." The belief is almost universal that it would have been ruin if Roosevelt had not (jome into powgr and put his program into effect promptly after the fourth of Inst Ma rch. Some day the great American people will rise in their indignation and might and take steps to put a stop or to greatly decrease the tremendous human toll Caused by tho automobile. For a considerable length of time the deaths annually have amopnted to 110.000 or thereabouts. That is far more than half of the number of officers and men killed ot j who died of wounds received in ac- j tion in the \V orld War, the %ure be- i ing stated as oO.dol. It is a terrific and lamentable sacrifice, and pre- j ventive steps should be JUikon, un- j doubtly. Rut it may be said that j restrictions would stop progress, ot : .course. Stop progress and stop any-, thing in ordeTto stop the slaughter. * * It would appear certain that the South Carolina Legislature is not going to enact any law to permit the sale of liquor in the State, and it j would therefore be useless to waste any more time' discussing the question. It would also seem to be useless to submit the matter to a vote | 'of the people. In November the vot-j rrs decided to oppose the repeal of the eighteenth amendment, when one ! could have supported national repeal and at the same time have been a consistent dry so far as the State is concerned. For the present at least I the liquor question seems to be a (closed incident. Spring in Alaska Ketchikan, Alaska. Feb. IP.?Moth- ! : er nature seemed to have her nates ia.\ed he re thi* weekend.

Y i taxpayers League Writes on Taxation Commenting on a proposal that there be a general increase of 10 per cent in the pay of all functionaries of the state.?Calling for an addition of seven hundred thousand dollars officials of the Taxpayers' Uague remarked today that they could not underhand, fin what ground this addition <vould rest. "This is a time of very special difficulty. On the one hand and wo have the Knh-Rah boys, professional boosters. the me-toos, and a certain element that is always afraid to study conditions; on the other hand you have the calamityhowlers. Is it a fact that business is better, according to any criterion of -sound judgment; or is business showing a mild spurt under artificial stimulation? For example, if the government should withdraw its aid to the cotton farmers what would happep to cotton and, indirectly, to all business? The government bought five million hogs in the effort to help the western farmer?and the hog market collapsed worse than ever. The Government is pouring money into all sorts of projects, the most of our little towns are getting a mild taste of business through this bederal subvention?but if this should stop what would be the result?.'. Millions of people are being given all kinds of foodstuffs by the government?some of them enjoying more today than at nny other period since they came into the world. Suppose they should stop that? And now to cap the climax the Federal Government is cleaning our State House and on the grounds as you approach the Capitol you see the sign "G, \V\. A. Project No. 601 General Repairs." Now what would you say about all these activities of the Federal Government here in our State? Do they indicate that business is normal and that we can go ahead? There must be something peculiar 1 about the mentality of a man who thinks that the people of this State are so thoroughly content with taxes as they are that instead of wishing some measure of relief they are willing to go back again to the highspending orgies of other years. This Legislature was selected on a platform of drastic retrenchment. No one will gainsay that; and no one will say that this Legislature has done all that should be done to put the State within the means of the average taxpayer. The Farmers and Taxpayers'! League, speaking for the masses of, the people of the state continues to call for retrenchment and for re-orga nidation of State Government., Which group shall the Legislature hear?the masses of the people back] home, or the salaried employees of the State? There will be another election the coming summer and each county will wish to know exactly what is what. I ARMY \IK MAIL PLANE ' ' FALLS AT GREENVILLE1 Greenville, Feb. 19.?An hour and a half after leaving Atlanta with the army's first air mail plane, Lieut. E. T. Gorman crashed at the Greenville airport tonight after attempting five landings. lie was not hurt. Circling the field in an attempt! accurately to read the wind sock, Gorman came in down wind at a too rapid speed and overran the apron. His plane struck a two-foot hedge at the end of the field and nosed over. The propeller was bent and the undercarriage washed out. The mail was sent by train to j Charlotte, N. C., where it will be j picked up by a plane and flown to | Richmond. ATTENDED OITOMETISTS MEET J. M.
