THE FRANKLIN TIMES Issued Every Friday 215 Court Street Telephone No. 283 A. r. JOHNSON, Editor and SUBSCRIPTION RATES Oh Year |ljt Six Months T? Right Months .... 1.00 Konr Months .... .SO AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION New York CRjr Entered at the PoetoAce at Lxmlsbnrs. N. C. as II 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. If The Flag Could Talk by A. B.
