i',;f / Newspaper Comments on Butler Hare’s Plan For Relief of The Unemployed When Butler B. Hare, in his key note speech at the recent meeting of the Saluda county democratic conven tion, outlined a plan wherein he sug gested that the scope of our W. P. A. activities be broadened so that exist ing industrial enterprises may be en larged in order to give the unemploy ed an opportunity to earn a fair wage and decent living, he made the most feasible 'and practical suggestion we have seen or heard looking to the so lution of the problem of the unem ployed, and one that really holds out some hope for them and their fami lies. Under our present scheme or pol icy they are eking out a subsitsence but they can make no plans for the future and they do not know what day they may be laid off. Heretofore everybody seems to have gone on the theory that times would get better and this has happened. As a matter of fact, ihe number of unemployed has been and is still increasing from year to year. What the future will be no one knows. However, we are in clined to think that Mr. Hare struck the nail on the head when he suggest ed that their labor should be utilized in erecting enlarged or new plants for existing industrial enterprises and when completed the workers should be offered an opportunity to go inside and go to work. We have not analyzed his plan critically and there may be some ob jections made or alterations suggested but w e have heard of no other plan that offers any real and substantial hope for these people, although we think it high time that some definite and concrete action be taken to as sist them in securing permanent em ployment, and v/e share with Mr. Hare the belief that the greatest op portunity is by inaugurating new ac tivities, or by inauguarting new in dustrial enterprises. At any rate, if these people were assigned to the construction of substantial buildings, under competent engineering super vision, the money expended by the government would be invested in something permanent and worthwhile. We read a full account of Mr. Hare’s speech as it appeared in the Saluda Standard and we congratulate him in giving us something new, ori ginal and substantial to think about regarding this great problem of un employment, and we se e great possi bilities in his plan for the benefit of the unemployed, as well as oppor tunity for expansion in both agricul ture and industry.—The Johnston Herald. NOT YET A NEW DEALER Were The News and Couries a New Dealer and a Roosevelt organ it would urge the election of Governor Olin D. Johnston for United States senator. It would support him because he is for the wages and hour bill. It would support him because he was for the court packing bill. It would support him because he an nounced his candidacy, after confer ence with Mr. Roosevelt, before leav ing the White House, and gave out the impression that he was the presi dent’s candidate for senator in South Carolina. It would support him because Presi dent Roosevelt has said no word that contradicts that impression, however, he does not proclaim himself for Johnston, which is damaging to the Johnston candidacy. It would support him because it does not believe that he would con demn the president’s silence on the anti-lynching bill. It would support him because he was absent and had no hand in amendinf Rule 32. It would support him because it believes he would defend the presi dent if he signed the anti-lynching bill were it passed—as the president undoubtedly would sign it. It would support him because the president calls him “Olin.” It would support him because it believes he would do the president’s bidding 100 per cent. The News and Courier, were it for Roosevelt, would be for rubber stamps for Rosevelt. It would support him because he says that Mr. Roosevelt is “the great est president of all times.” It would support him because it believes that he means well and as senator would continue to mean as well as the president means. It would support him because it believes that he is the perfect pattern of statesman that the president wants in the senate from South Carolina- It would support him because it would no longer be interested in sup porting South Carolina. The News and Courier is not a New Dealer. Not yet.—News and Courier. BEN ADAMS JOINS GOVERNOR’S RACE Declaring his purpose is to “turn the light on state finances,” Repre sentative Ben E. Adams, of Richland county, announced Wednesday his candidacy for governor in the sum mer primary.

Byrnes was admitted to the bar of the United States supreme court today, but he was quick to state that he had no present inten tion of resuming his law practice, which he gave up upon entering the senate in 1931. Senator John H. Bankhead, Demo crat of Alabama, made the motion upon which the South Carolina sena tor was admitted to practice before the high tribunal. Senator Byrnes said his reason for becoming a member of the supreme court bar was to be in position to move the admission of South Carolina lawyers who are continually asking his assistance in this matter. __ “There is no member of the South Carolina delegation who is a member of the supreme court bar, and I have made so many requests of my col leagues in the senate to move the admission of lawyers from my state that I decided I would be admitted in order to perform this function,” Byrnes said. He explained that he had for a number of years meant to be admitted but just could not find time to get around to it Many senators continue their law practice after being elected. Sena tor Byrnes, however, feels that as a senator he owes all his time to his duties and in ^addition to giving up a lucrative practice at Spartanburg in 1931 has refused some handsome fees since coming to the senate.

Johnstone, a grad uate of Clemson in the class of 1936, has been studying law at the Univer sity of South Carolina. Declaring that the senatorial “war” in South Carolina this summer “will be fought under generals who are ve teran campaigners and politicians,” Theo Vaughan of Andersson withdrew Sunday from the United States se nate field to enter the third district congressional race for the seat now held by John C. Taylor. The withdrawel of Mr. Vaughan narrows the field to only three candi dates—State Senator Edgar A. Brown, Barnwell; Governor Olin D. Johnston and Senator E. D. Smith, incumbent. "In a careful statewide study of the pending senatorial race,” Mr. Vaughan said, “I have found the bat tle lines rather definitely fomed. The war will be fought under generals who are veteran campaigners and pro fessional politicians. "For some months, friends from various counties within the third dis trict have urged me to consider mak ing the race for congress. Before committing myself, I investigated sentiment throughout the district. I am entering this campaign with the assurance of strong and vigorous support from people in all walks of life. “I stand for and will work for the aims and purposes of the New Deal. However, I have never been and will never become anyone’s ‘yes man’ or ‘rubber stamp’. “In statements issued heretofore, I have declared myself in favor of a subsidy for agriculture, or else a re duction in the tariff which will en able the farmer to sell his products in foriegn markets. I am in favor of a bill that will place a floor under wages and a ceiling over hours. I am for the right of labor to organize and bargrain collectively. I am 'for federal support of education' without federal control. South Carolina children are entitled to an education equal bo that given children in any other part of the country. “There is onlv one way out of our nresent difficulties, and that way ia for confidence to dispel fear; for co operation to displace strife; and for labor, capital, agriculture, commerce, and government to unite in making America a country in which to make a better living and a better country in which to live.” I hereby announce myself a candi date for The House of Representa tives and agree to abide by the re sults of the Democratic primary. R. AUBREY HARLEY HOW PETER IS PAYING PAUL NOTICE OF JURY DRAWING In the four years ending June 30, 1937, the government of the United States has given away $14,887,000,000 which is $742,000,000 more than it has collected in taxes. Every dollar and more that it has had wherewith to pay the salaries of its officers (the president’s office costs from $250,- to $760,000 a year), for the support of th e army and navy and for other routine expenses apart from relief agencies, has been borrowed. Whether it be considered that the tax reve nues went to the relief agencies or the borrowed money to them is im material. The government of the United States without borrowing would collapse in a day. If it be re plied that without its present policy would be “revolution” the rejoiner is that a country compelled to hire its people to keep the peace is a hope less country.—News and Courier.
