I 1 A BIM?THOU(Br?f | FOR TODAY—I 1 Bible Thoughts memorized, will prove a | priceless heritage in after years. Man’s Birthright. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet.— Psalms 8:6. IS IT COMMERCIAL. Within the past few jweeks there have and discussed the consolidation of schools. In fact there has been more than a hundred people to talk it over with the editor who are sorely dis tressed at the proposed changes in Chatham county, and that have been put into effect in some sections of the! county, as well as many parts of the State. Among the many visitors there has been but two or three exceptions where they favored the consolidation of schools. It is a question to which we have ; given much thought and we can see many advantages for the children and there are also many disadvantages for the farmers and some to the chil dren themselves. It is a circumstance that will greatly obliterate the bless ings that now adorn the rural section, and will destroy that love and com panionship of God’s open air and free dom of the tillers of the soil more than any other movement that has been put in practice in many years. It is true that the automobile and oth er modes of fast traveling have brought the folks of Chatham coun ty into closer touch with one another yet it is a rare thing that a young man or young woman ever retains that great respect for the old home on the farm after they have become imbued with the privileges of the town. We quesiton sometimes whether this movement is commercial, political or really has a foundation for the general welfare of the child? Does it pretend to better qualify the citi zenship, is the mandates of the lead ers to be more fully impressed upon the present generation or have the manufacturers of motor vehicles plant ed propaganda to flood the state wtih transportation facilities. It is pos sible that manufacturers of refined oils and crude products are in league with the powers to increase the sales, thereby multiplying the riches of the already wealthy folks? We believe in some instances that it would be far better to have con solidated schools, where they are al ready in close proximity of the towns, but back in the “sticks” where the farmers have every desire to give their children. every opportunity, but are limited in their means to clothe the child and put it in presentable shape it woul I be far better to qquip the school, demand better qualified teach ers, pay them the kind of salary they deserve and leave the schools where they are. The editor of this paper does not believe in a bond issue, consolidation of schools, special tax or other move ments that increases the taxes of the farmer or increases his burdens in any manner, except that he has a voice in the change. When a matter of this kind is contemplated it should be left up to the district to vote on the matter and if a majority sc or ders then the change is <well and g »od. No other method should be used. THE TAX PROBLEM. We believe the greatest problem be fore the American people today is the problem of taxation says the Shenan doah, la., Sentinel Post. Two sane methods of relief are op en.. First discourage new govern mental .fads and fancies which add unnecessary laws to our statute books /with increasing numbers of employes and more government overhead. Offi cialism spreads like the green hav tree if left to its own course, so trim it down to essential?. t- ee that all property pays taxes equally, which it does not do at present. Under our existing laws any person is at liberty to convert his property into non-taxable bonds and thus escape all forms of taxation. The necessity (if it ever existed! for tax-exempt bond is past and the day is here when no such loophole as this should remain to enable those most able to pay to escape taxation. Every dollar that tax-exemnt bonds absorb cuts two ways—it doubles the tax on other people and removes a dollar from industries which need it for expansion and development. O, TEMPERA! 0 MORES! “Is the world growing better?” This question has been asked many times. It may and it may not be. Give a lot of Club nomen. a few crazv I men the opportunity and this world will soon be in a worse condition than it ever was. You can talk about the blue laws of Connecticut, where a man was not allowed to to kiss his wife on Sunday; where people were not allowed to cook on Sunday; were not allowed to visit on Sunday and’Where men, women and children were com pelled to attend Sunday services, whe ther or no, is nothing compared to some of the blue laws adopted bv the county authorities of Ludington, Mich. And the officers snv they are going to enforce them. Road tbrm and see if you think the world is ■ growing better or worse, or whether ' more asylums for lunatics should be i . built. I Closing all billiard parlors, soft . drink emporiums, dance halls theaters and others places of amusements, in | eluding the bath beaches. ’ Stopping publication and distribu * tion of the Ludington Sunday News. * Stopping play on all golf courses in the county. Arrest of all persons driving auto : ombiles for pleasure on the Sabbath. * This is some of the fanatical work of some crazy women of Ludington, and such laws will sooner or later be introduced in other towns and cities of the United States. Over in Pennsylvania the law is strict against lynching. The county 1 in which a lynching occurs will have to pay a fine of SIO,OOO. Lynching is construed as murder and even the at tempt to rescue a prisoner from an officer is punishable with a minimum fine of SIO,OOO and imprisonment for not more than ten years. The question has been asked: What will become of the laboring people when America allows millions of emi grants to land in this country and when man is daily inventing machin ery of all kinds that will take the place of many men? What will be come of us all one hundred years from now when millions and millions of people will be living in America and nothing to do? Why do people who hold govern ment jobs, kick so strenuously when they lose them on account of politics ? Politics is power. When a party is victorious those holding positions un [ der the losing sde must expect to have to give up their jobs. It does not mat- 1 ter if the party in power is trying to retrench and save the people’s mon ey, many job holders kick just the same and they remind us of a suck- 1 ing calf, they hate to turn lose the teat.
