MONDAY, MARCH 27, 1933 ■T Cost of War A ^erequisite tq an intelligent argu ment against huge armaments and war Is a study of how^Jhe federal tax dollar ia spent in this ^country. The economic side of the question of war is likely to cause a greater reaction among the people than an eloquently-worded statement about the horrors^of killing men. Dr. Julian Miller gave the figures in his column in the Charlotte Observer a few days ago and we re-printed them in The Journal-Patriot Thursday. Here they are again: Eighty-four cents out of every tax dol lar goes to pay for war and preparation for war. The constitution says that the ' duty of government is to “provide for the common defense and promote" the general welfare.” Of every dollar that goes into the tx’easury of the United States, 84 cents goes for “the common defense” and 16 , Our Encouragement " Wilkesboro high school has launched a movement for the erection of a physical _education building for the school.

During the broadcast of a ra dio 'program 'here the other night it was necessary to reproduce the sound of frying bacon. For a moment sound experts were at a loss to know what to do.

Soon the baseball fans will journey out to the parks to witness their favorite teams in a mad cha.se for the pennant. Baseball is a grand sport and nothing said here .should be con.strued as deroga tory to it. We merely mention the fact -that spring i.s positively here because the great Babe, baseball’s most colorful figure, is once again on the Yankees payroll. “Avert a Sales Tax” A strong argument again.st the sales tax is contained in an editorial appearing re cently in the New York World-Telegram. It states so forcibly an undeniable truth that we quote it here: “The banks, most of them, are feeling better. Business is feeling better. The public is feeling better. One doesn’t have to be a Pollyanna to believe recovery may yet show up around some corner, if not the first one. ‘This new ‘feel’ of things, slight as it is He must have told it as a joke on himself and on John, though the Gospels do not say so. In deed we must often wonder how much of his hu mor has been lost to us by the literal minded ness of his chroniclers. How about the incident, for example, at the pool of Bethesda? Hundreds of sick people were left along the edges to wait for the moment when the waters would be stirred by the visit of an angel from heaven; whoever managed to get into the water first, after the stirring, was healed. Passing by it one afternoon Jesus heard the whining voice of an old fellow who liad been ly ing there for thirty-eight years. Every time the pool stirred, he made a half-hearted effort to jump in, but there was always some one with more determination, or more helpful friends. He j was bemoaning it on this day when Jesus stooped I and looked at him with a whimsical smile. I “Wilt thou be made whole?” Jesus demanded. 1 The old man was instantly resentful. What an ’ absurd question! Of course he wahted to be made whole! The smile on the face of Jesus broadened. He knew better. Enjoying poor health was the old fellow's profession. Nobody had as many pains as he. Ilis was tile only original hard leek story. He had be^n there for thirty-eight years. The keen eyes of Jesus saw deep into the souls of men. There was a twinkle In them now; “Get up,” he said briskly, “and walk.” The old chap spluttered and grumbled, but there was no resisting the command of that pres ence. He rose, discovered to his own amazement that he could stand, rolled up his bed and moved in its beginnings, makes it more than ever off. A reverent hush fell on the assembled crowd. undesirable, wo think, to depress mer chants and buyers in this state by a retail sales tax. The retail industry of the state employs half a million persons. It is feared a sales tax will force thousands of retailers out of business. That means the loss of many thousands of jobs. It means decreased buying power not only among) those thrown out of work but among con- ‘ Burners generally, upon whom the burden -of a sales tax will largely fall. “The sales tax is bound to be a heavy depressant. V/ill it be wise to administer this depressant at a time when sick busi ness begins to see hope of returning health and when increased buying power is the oidmitted essence of that hope? “We think not. t Not until the last pos sible cut has been made in the cost of state goYemmept. and before they could find their voices Jesus, too, was gone. The disciples were too deeply Im pressed for comment; they dropped liack a re spectful distance and Jesus walked on alone. Suppose they had followed closer?

LENOIR FACTORY IS DESTROYED BY FIRE Lenoir, March 24.—Fire of un determined origin early this morning completely wiped out the Lenoir Manufacturing com pany, destroying its office and four adjoining buildings at a loss estimated between $50,000 and $100,000. The loss is partially covered by insurance. Firemen battled the stubborn blaze, which was fanned by a high wind, from 4 o’clock until after 6 o’clock before bringing it under control. ‘Tlenty of the Best^’J -means Roy sterns N o MATTER If crops do sell higher next fall, you cannot The colored man who washes windows in the United Charities building here is named Roosevelt earner.
