were not entitled to epual repre
fiontalion in Senate with great in
(lustrial States, teuch as his own
State of Pennsylvania.
T placid remarks along that
.. . appeared to ruffle the feel
u.'S of some of his inquisitors,
• ho ;e Statea he did not hesiTaTe
to ; ame as “backward”, and sug
gt .-ted that some meThod should
be found to put them in "silence”
i Visa when Congress was yon
sir ring ^og/dation to p(£*mote
the countrie’s economic welfare.
When Mr. Grundy let loose his
opinion that the framers' of our
Constitution were all wrong in
giving equal representation to all
States in the Senate, The sTorm
broke, and most of the membe1*8
of tii$' committee wenT afTer
him hammer and tongs.
What are States designaTed by
Mr. Grundy as “backward”, a
term which his testimony indica
ted meant those whose contribu
tion to our Nation^; wenlTh and
our Government’s income amount
to practically nothing as compared
with contributions ofv hifs own
State of Pennsylvania and other
populous industrial States?
Mr. (Grundy’s list comprised
.Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Geor-
gia, Mississippi, Montana, North
Dakota and South Dakota.
It was apparent, when Mr. Gru
ndy expressed the view that these
States were not enTiTled To Two
Senators each when Pennsylvania
had that small number, that fur
would fly, and it did.
Tiiere is no likelihood that Mr.
Grundy’s views on this state of
affairs wir lead to any agitation
for a l-evision of the Constitution.
But Air. Grundy revived interest
in a subject which has had recur
rent discussion and never, fails
to receive prominence when leg
ialation affecting taxation is uri
der consideration in Coiigrts®.
Mr; .Grundy, will be rnundly
-cored by the lobby investigation

on Unj “backward” States. IT
i.- intvitablc, however, that some
o’- the Senators from These STaTcs
and others of WesT and SouTh
will keek to turn his observaTions Jawi
into political capiTal.
will probably be because the cler-
ical influences that have given di-
rection to Anti-Smith movemenT
3ince its inception, fifteen monThs
ago find it expedierjt. for poli-
tical reasons to resume relations
with Democrats. This conTingen-
cy is not, however, to be expected,
for the reason that biTTer words
that have passed betwetn Bishop
Cannon and his clerical associa-
tes on the one hand, and the Demo
cratic partp leaderto on the oTher
will mage a reconciliation highly
will mage a reconciliation highly
difficult.
With a substantial number of
AntioSmitty voTers permanenTly
absorbed by the Republican party
The Republican StrengTh in Vir-
ginia will achieve formidable pro-
portions.
With these addiTions To iTs
strength now in view, The Repub-
lican party will no longer be a
negligible factor in STaTe poli-
tics.

Norfolk, Va. Nov. 5.__As the
•first real, Gubernatorial con-
test Virginia hate known in a half
4ntuijy draws to a sclose, our
impression grows that whaTever
may be the outcome of balloTing
next Tuesday, the old poliTical
order in Virginia is ended and
in future Virginia will have two
political parties where in past
it has had but one.
This irapressio nio based on the
numerous indications pointing to
the probability thaT AnTi-SmiTh
lenders and a considerable nunr
her of their followers have burn-
ed their bridge’s behind them and
are preparing permanently to af-
filiate with The Republican ParTy
The identities of the Two groups
have remained separate if or the
purpose of the preccnt campaign,

they are already merged. Most of
Ci)j Republican leaders expect
the merger to be completed in
the near (fuiTure, and many of
the Anti-Smith facTion seem pre
pared for such a step.
If it does nloi materialize, it
Washington, Nov. 6 President
Hoover proposes further reduct-
ion in income taxes. Financial
experts of the Government are a-
bout to-begin working out a plan
just where the cut can be made
to what extent,
x zjfl.fl, fi (:fi, bgk bgbmf
This important news came as a
*sunB»ip,Q. When Hoovtr itook
office the question of further do
creases was Very much in the
air. !The (Treasury Department
had rather discourage the idea. It
wanted to know what was promis-
ed in the way of future revenues.
It has acquired its information
now. The surplus is growong.
Present estimates are $200,000,000
at the end of -tfye fiscal year on
June 30 last. "
Since the close of the war there
have been four reductions. The
first in 1921, totalled $633,000,000
In 1924 the amount was $519,000,
000; in 1926 $442,000,000 and in
*1928 $222,0(10,q00. / Thufcf ^taxea
have been slashed to the some oc
$1,826,000,000 while progressively
reducing the National debt concur
rently
The Prtsident intends sending
thtf proposition' to regular sess-
ion of Congress, which meets in
December.
If reduction is to become oper
ative for March the 15 payments,
prompt service must be given the
matter. As usual, the Democratic
contingent^ will consider it
from political angles and will de-
mand a higher cut than the ad-
administration will deem advisable
Following the custom, numerous
speeches will be prepared. If these
are to be worked off there must
be a fairly clear field. Surely a
debate ovor the tariff, forced over
from the present session into the
next one, might; endanger tax re-
diwtion.' •

**************************
Father never gave me n great deal
f advice when I was a boy. I do
not know wheth-
er or not he was
a practical psy-
chologist and
realized, as I
have come long
ago to do, that
precept counts
very little In the
development o f
habits and char-
acter, but that
we learn most
largely from ex-
ample. Father
was a very good man; his one bad
habit was his attachment to an odor-
ous pipe. I lay it to Ids credit that
he never advised me not to smoke.
His wisdom in this regard accounts,
I am quite certain, for the fact that
tobacco has never had any attractions
for me.
So far aa I knew, father had never
read a novel In his life, and he was a
constant reader. He objected to fic-
tion as he did to cards and dancing,
and the one dictum i recall that he
ever laid down to me was, “Lad, don’t
read novels; they are not good for
you.”
I had read hundreds of them before
I Was fifteen— openly, surreptitiously,
out In the yard, lying flat on the floor
In the front room, after I had gone to
bed at night, up in the barn loft—
everywhere In fact where it was pos-
sible to take a book with me.
I’ve Just had a long ride on a crowd-
ed passenger train without a soul
near me whom I have ever seen be-
fore; but it has beeu a delightful ride
full of thrills and romance and ex-
citement, for I have had a good story
in my hand wh'ch has held attention
and left me oblivious of everything
else around me. There 13 nothing like
a good story to cause the cares of life
to vanish.
If I am thfmkiul for anything which
characterized try childhood and youth
It is that very early In life I devel-
oped the habit of reading and that I
became acquainted with some of the
best fiction that has ever been writ-
ten. I waded or dashed through a lot
of worthless stuff, it Is trite, but I got
also well acquainted with Dickens
and Thackeray, and Scott and Cooper,
and Dumas and Hugo, and a host of
other masters of the art of story tell
ing. As long as I can rend or can b»
read to life will never for me become
dull or uninteresting.
Bruce Barton Is quoted as saying to
a mother who asked how she could
break her boy of the habit of reading
stories:
"I do not know. It Is about as easy
to cure a boy of eating as It is to d»
stroy 1.1s love for good stories. Th-
ieve of fiction Is as old as—older than
recorded history, older even than civ-
ilization. It cat.nof he rooted out—its
roots run back loo far.
“And why should you want to root
It out? Tim greatest Teacher that
ever lived spent half His time telling
stories to His disciples. ‘Without a
parable He taught them nothing.’
These stories have transformed hu-
manity.”
And for me they have helped to
make life more than worth while.

In correcting a mistake made
in the notes one week we wish
to say that Annie Lou Wommack
was or. *fche Jhonor roll, not
Annie Lee. Aa we have four
“Annies" in the Senior class, it
is verp easy to get their names
mixed. Strange to say, three of
these “Annids” are Wommacku,
For the Third and last 'time
the Seniors are requesting "for-
eigners” in Chapel not to ait on
Uifc.. £ir$t five rows. ’ Jlu-*ftobert»
had the'mudacity to place himself
fcnere Monday after our repeated
demands that noone but Seniors
bt allowed to sit there. Being
his first offence, wo shall try to
overlook it and hope that he will
do better from now on.
Our “friend” Mr. Parker led in
Pep Rally Monday in Chapel.
We wish to thank him for this and
his kindness. Wibat would we do
without him?
Our Editor in Chief, Roma Rod-
dy, ibas made a special request
that the reporTors and Teachers
get notes in as 'soon as They can
Ad has to remain after -school
ach Monday afternoon to copy
(he notes.
A number of Seniors have de-
liced there is something dread
telly wrong with a certain High
. cliool teacher. Friday afternoon
< tack was placed in “its” chair
v/..i!e “it” wars out of the room.
When “it” returned, "not a crea-
ture was stirring, not even a
mousqf’, 'but whpn '‘it” sat in
the chair and appeared to be very
comfortable, the class could noT
help being astonished. Was the
joke on the teacher or the class?
No one will ever know,
Mr. Shepperd hais begun mak-
ing mistakes in cites in oider to
FjeeB the Seniors, awake. He
.aughed bo much Monduy that we
„u;t know he “got by” with his
m.stakea and we didn’t “catch”
him.
FIRST GRADE

candy given them by that firm.
This box of candy, when sold,
brought $11.20.
The money will be used to buy

first grade.
Mrs. Dan Watson received the
candy.
easily he explaintd au there was
too much “blond” for them. The,

SOPHOMORE SAYINGS
The Sophomores celebrated Hal-
loween with a party which was
given in a vacant houlse owned
by A. Lewis. Fortunes were told
by the famous Madam Alucka-
Yungtz of Bombay, (imported for
this (special occasion) and next
Roy Brabham (ont of those saintly
seniors,) entertained us by giving
an excellent imitation of a duck
■uid n billy goat, thereby winning
’hree delicious apples and a red
stick of candy. Miss Loyce Bled-
soe of Texarkana, directed several
,yames. About nine oclock, chick-
en stew was served to about 40
happy boys and girls. After the
atew wals eaten and a few more
games played, all went home tir-
ed but happy.
The Sophomores are especially
to Mr. and Mrs. Jim Watts, woo
were kind enough to {make the
stew for us, and to Mr. A. Lewis
for the use of his house.
DIVINE FRESHMEN
We are now studying about gas-
oline motorw in science. The sub-
let is very intoresTing, especial-
ly for the boys. Mr. Parker said
vc could not put an engine up,
>ut I’ll bet we can when we have
finished our course about motors.
\\ e had a Halloween Carnival
at the school building last Thurs-
day night. All of the Freshmen
enjoyed it, and I am sure everp
enjoyed it, and I am sure every
one else did too. The carnival
was given to make money for a
iibtary for the grade sc- ool. We
vi»h to thank everyone for his
cooperation in {helping at. “put
it over”.
