Should Make A Decision
If the crop reduction progi’am in force
in 1934 is to be continued for another
year it is high time a decision is being
reached. It appears now that a continua
tion of these practices is very likely, but
the certain knowledge of what is going
to happen would be beneficial in many
ways.
No one doubts that there were two
causes for the plight the farmer has been
in during the past few years—overproduc
tion and the inability of the consuming
public to buy what they wanted and need
ed to eat and wear-
If the markets of the country knew for
a certainty that production is to be cur
tailed again, this knowledge would have
a stabilizing effect in that it would hold
prices up or perhaps cause them to reach
a still higher average.

Several weeks &go eight of the nine
nine members—^the other being ill—of the
United States Supreme court marched into
its chambers in Washington.and began a
session that will be of more than usual
interest to the American people.
Before this tribunal m its present ses
sion will come the question of the consti
tutionality of a number of the agencies of
the present admihistration and the much
discussed matter will be settled for good
and for all.
Whatever the supreme court says
about the matter will be final and there
will be no more squabbling. Washington
news correspondents see the court as be
ing about evenly divided into two groups,
conservative and liberal with the possi
bility of Chief Justice Hughes holding the
balance. Whether this means anything or
not remains to be seen, because it is only
speculation. It is further predicted that
since Hughes is popularly thought of as a
liberal thinker that the New Deal will
stand the acid test of this supreme tri
bunal. Theirs is a court of last resort—
theirs is the power to settle, finally and
for all time, arguments concerning the
constitutionality of laws and judgments.
The combined age of the eight justices
now sitting on the supreme court bench
totals near 600 years. Over 400 years of
study and observation, coupled with in
tegrity of character, serve as a watchman
for the greatest nation on earth.

An insistent demand by Carolina consumers
for Carolina-made goods would result in an im
mediate expansion of our industries and the es
tablishment of others, with the result that tens
-of thousands of industrial workers would be
added to the payrolls of our own plants and the
purchasing power of our industrial and agricul
tural population would be vastly increased—and
that’s what is needed to give the Carolinas per
manent and stable prosperity.—Morganton News.
Herald.
One of the state’s oldest institutions, the Uni
versity of North Carolina, recently celebrated
its 141st birthday . . . Today the Greater Uni
versity of North Carolina represents the state’^
biggest asset because the North Carolina of to
morrow will depend to'“& largfe extent, as it has
in the past, upon the students who are passing
through its doors now . . . Uutimately, from
whatever angle you take it, higher education
pays.—Leaksville News.
Unemployment Insurance
Before another year has rolled around
we are going to read and hear more on
insurance against unemployment than we
have ever heard before.
Just now the movement for such a
measure on a national scoi>e is gaining
rapid headv. ay and when congress meets
in January there is going to be a big block
favoring such legislation.
At the present time the plans are so
incomplete that it is hard to form an
opinion on the project but as the plan de
velops we will make an honest effort to
acquaint the people with its progress in
a fair and impartial manner.
Of course, unemployment insurance will
be self-liquidating and cannot be a gift
from the government as many people
would like to believe. As in all forms of
insurance the insured must bear a great
pail of the cost of benefits.
The greatest benefit that could be de
rived from the plan wouW be its effects
on stabilization in times of depression- If
a man had been steadily employed for
years and was suddenly put out in the
world without means with which to earn
a living, he would benefit by the insurance
by receiving a sum of money with which
to buy his necessities. His income and
purchasing power would not be entirely
cut off and the government would be
saved the expense of furnishing him re
lief. With his purchasing power main
tained to a certain extent, industry would
gain in that he would continue to buy and
consume.
One great difficulty would be searching
out and determining the cause of one un
employed. Unemifioyment insurance
fihould be for ALL who really want to
work for a living. It now appears ttot
America is destined to try out the plan.
Of course, it is to be expected that its
first form will not be perfect and possibly
not workable, but after a trial over a
period of time it may be that it will be
come a success in the real sense of the
-word.

PAUL SCORES FUNDAMENTALISTS
Now Paul had great respect for the Mosaic
law, and he did not object to the fundamental
ists provided they kept on their own side. But
to have them invading a field which he had de
veloped and to start a divisive doctrine, there,
looking not forward but back, was too much for
his hot temper and strong conviction. At once
he called for his trusty pen and after the for
mal greeting he plunged striaght into his mes
sage:
I marvel that ye are so soon removed
from him that called you into the grace of
Christ unto another Gospel:
Which is not another; but there be some
that trouble you, and would pervert the gos
pel of Christ.
But though we, or an angel from heaven,
preach any other gospel unto you than that
we have preached unto you, let him be ac
cursed . . .
For do I now persuade men, or God? or
do I .seek to please men? for if I yet
pleased men, I should not be the servant ojf
Christ.
But I certify you, brethren, that the gos
pel which was preached of me is not after
man.
He goes on to remind them of his history—
how he was the chief persecutor of the church,
but, being converted, received his message not
from the group in Jerusalem but from God 'di
rect, in his hours of quiet retreat in Arabia. He
went to Jerusalem, he says, and met with James,
“the Lord’s brother,” and he and Peter agreed
concerning the right of Gentiles to be received
into communication without being compelled to
comply with the Mosaic law, and he won his fight.
When later, at Antioch, Peter backslid into the
old hard-shell theology, Paul had refuted him
openly.
But when Peter was come to Antioch, I
withstood him to the face, because he was
to be blamed.
By subsequent battles and by many persecu
tions, of which he bore the scars, he had won
the right of his churches to freedom. jWere they
now proposing to abandon this great freedom
because some strict constructionists from Judea
came among them, stirring up trouble?
Stand fast therefore in the liberty where
with Christ hath made us free, and be not
entangled again with the yoke of bondage,
For all the law is fulfilled in one word,
even in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself . . .
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk
in the Spirit.
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, pro
voking one another, enjoying one another . . .
Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also
reap.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the
flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to
the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life evei^
lasting.
And let us not be weary in well doing:
for in due season we shall reap, if we faint
not.

North Carolina wants new industries, new
bosmess, new wealth, but it does not want any
industry, business or wealth which expects any
thing more than equal treatment or anything
less than an equal share of the btirdens of life,
and which must rule or leave. If the movies
are going to depart from California, they will
be welcome in North Carolina to share our ad

Legion Men Ask Recall
Of Russian Recognition
.Miami, Fla., Oct. 26. — The
American Legion aimed its full
strength tonight in opposition to
two policies of the President of
the United States by its vote for
immediate payment of the bonus
and against Russian recognition.
The legion, which claims to
control 3,000,000 votes, passed
by overwhelming majorities reso
lutions demanding immediate
cash payment of the soldiers’
bonus and withdrawal of Soviet
recognition, the latter on grounds
that Russia continues to disemi-
nate communistic propaganda
on the American continent.
The bonus payment resolution,
which may again flood Washing
ton with picketing war veterans,
passed by a majority so decisive
that a roll call was ordered only
“to be sure that every man has a
voice in the proceedings of the
16th convention.
The vote was 987 to 183.
