EDITORIAL
It now looks, judging from reports from Washing
ton, that the tobacco grading bill will become law. This
will become effective on markets upon approval by
patrons of the market.
The editor of the TIMES has just noticed in a Ral
eigh dispatch, that Revenue Commissioner Maxwell says
the law has never required nor the Revenue Department
has never ruled that the Sales tax had to be added to
the price of an article as a separate item. Merchants
are at liberty to add it into the sale price the same as
transportation costs or any other item of cost. This, to
our mind, will relieve a big misunderstanding in this"
section and save the merchants and public much work
and worry.
Big efforts are being made for the pardon of Col.
Luke Lea. Possibly there may be much merit in the
many appeals, but what is the use of having a law,
spending money to apprehend, try and convict a viola
tor and then relieve them of the punishment by the ap
plication of a pardon or parole. We sympathize with
many of the criminals in serving their sentences but we
can't help believe there would be more respect for and
confidence in all laws if there w^p^better enforcement
both in conviction and serving sentences after convic
tion. It would be better to repeal half the laws, be more
sure of convicting the right person and then forget
paroles.
UNWISE
1 The action of those representing themselves to b?
the Drys in attempting to stop the voters in expressing
their views aud wishes on the question of whiskey con- .
trol is hasty and unwise. The American government is
built up upon the principles of Democracy, and it has
been demonstrated time and again the people will not be
arbitrarily governed. They have both a legal and moral
right to have a "say" in their government, and just as
often as they wish with few restrictions, and when this
' right is denied resentment is the result. No reasonable'
minded citizen wants a law that is unconstitutional to
stand, even though he believes in the principle of the
r law. The test of this law could just as easily and ef-!
fectivelv been made after the election as before. And]
it might not even been necessary at all as the voters
might not hijve approved the Control. And the argu-i
ment that it will save the Pounty expense is "bosh."i
The election was called in good faith, under a law pass- ]
ed by the Legislature and the officialsvhave or will have
discharged most of their fajgee, which of couse will
have to be paid for and tne cost of appearing in Court
with attorneys will amount to more than the election
costs. It certainly doesn't seem good judgment to at
tempt to keep the election officials from receiving what
little pay they get for the important duties- they per
form, if this is what is meant by saving the County mon
ey. The action is unwise and unfair to all the public
officials involved and especially to the- 'voters who are
entitled to some opportunity to express their wishes as
to matters of government.
GRADUATES OF 1935
The colleges and universities of the nation have just
turned out the large?f'erop of graduates in^U-tfieir his
tory. Practically ?vajy one of these^young men and
women looking fora job. perhaps most of
them, will have a good dealjrf-dTff iculty in finding satifr
factory emplorntOTt. S?fne of ttreifr will lllPh bfttei'TfTHl
wonder what gootl tfieir education has done them, if they
cannot immediately obtain positions above the grade of
filling station attendants. That is the usual first reac
tion of a^Mgh proportion of college graduates in their
first few yeawfif trying to fit themselves into the social
scheme.
_,-'We think this is the result of over-emphasis upon
the economic purpose of education. We do not know
that the schools are to blame for the prevalent idea that
a boy or a girl goes to college primarily to become fitted
to earn "big money." We do not know of any univer
sity which teaches that the world owes a living to its
graduates merely because tWy are graduates. It hap
pens, however, that the economic standard is the one by
.which most pfeopte are inclined to measure everything.
The real purpose of education, as we understand it,
is to fit men and women to understand and appreciate
the realities of life. Those who come out of college equip
ped with such" Mderstanding and appreciation realize
that contentment afid happiness are measured by other
standards than the size of the pay-check. They are the
ones who get-tto-greatest and most lasting benefits from
their university courses.
