A Balanced Budget
“The prerogative of choosing methods is
yours. I can only beg you to follow' the one
which in your judgment will rest less heavily
on the lives, habits and activities of our
people. My chief concern is adequate though
economical provision and an unmistakably
balanced budget.”
It was Governor FJiringhaus speaking to
the General Assembly and incidentaly to all
North Carolina. WTiether one agrees with
his views thit a sales tax is preferable to
the 15-cent ad valorem tax for school pur
poses, whether one agrees or disagrees on
other views ex-pressed, everybody is con
vinced that that last clause points out the
only course the present General Assembly
can take with safetv. 'There must be “an

thing like real prosperity, judged
by Chinese standards.
The most interesting thing my
friend said, however, was that
the Chinese people are more
nearly unified today as a nation
than they have ever been. The
Japanese aggression in Manchu
ria has stimulated Chinese pa

He brought them up short with a question.
“Which of you by being anxious can add a sing’e
day to his life?” he demanded. “And if you can’t
do this simpl" thing, why worry about the rest?
Consider the ravens; they don’t sow or reap: they
have no store-houses or bams, and yet God takes
care of them. Don’t you suppose that you are of
more value in his sight than a flock of birds?”
How trivial seemed their concern and controversy
after a question like that!
