Newspaper Week
Someone has set aside Newspaper Week
from October 1 to 7.
Everything else has a newspaper week
and to subscribers of daily newspapers
every day is newspaper day. And there
will be a justified howl if the paper does
not arrive every week, twice weekly or
daily as subscribed for.
But this week is Newspaper Week and
everybody in the nation is being invited by
their respective newspapers to pay them a
visit.
This week is “open house” in newspaper
offices and shops and The Journal-Pa
triot joins with other newspapers in the
nation in inviting its readers in to look the
place over and get some idea of the work
and materials involved in publication of
your favorite newspaper.
Come around and see us sometime.

That is one of the reasons why the J

War demands will produce changes in
our stores. Some goods will disappear;
others will grow scarce and costly., .^d
so today modem retailing is pushing suita
ble substitutes, and educating the public to
buy more wisely. Modem merchandisers
are rendering you and your family a ser
vice that really deserves the adjective “vi
tal.”
Stagnation Policy
Treasury Secretary Morgehthau has
come out with a statement advocating*that
the government for the period of the emer
gency take all over six per cent of cor-
portation profits—that is, all over six per
cent of the invested capital.
So many things have been rushed
through in recent years under an emer
gency label that the public is beginning to
look with suspicion on it.
What makes it more suspicious and
gives it a communistic shade is the fact
that he made another statement later and
sa'id the proposal may not be submitted to
congress for another year.
The first impression of the proposal was
that it would be an emergency measure to
raise defense taxes very quickly. In that
case the public would not think too badly
of the proposition. The public would think
of a true emergency tax measure as one
that would be introduced this morning,
passed this afternoon and go into effect as
of yesterday.
Many corporations would be very pros-
perious if they could earn six per cent of
the invested capital in one year. Many
others would utterly fail if six per cent
earnings were all that could be retained.
But what looks most boogerish is the ef
fect such a confiscatory tax would have on
business expansion. The way more jobs
are created ;s by business expansion and
very little would be possible under such
conditions as a confiscatory tax measure.
Corporations which have become indus
trially great and have furnished jobs and
incomes for thousands and millions of peo
ple had a small beginning. If they could
not have retained more than six per cent
of nvested capital in profits there could
have been no expansion.
Such a tax measure would bring about
a policy of utter stagnation in the economic
life of the nation, prevent expansion and
destroy incentive to accomplish anything
of note in production and progress.
RULES OF THE ROAD
Overtaking A Vehicle
Sec. Ill, Motor Vehicle Lqw of North
Carolina:—“(a) The driver of any vehicle
overtaking another vehicle proceeding in
the same direction shall pass at least two
feet to the left thereof, and shall not again
drive to the right side of the highway un
til safely clear of such overtaken vehicle.
“(b) The driver of an overtaking mo
tor vehicle not within a business or resi
dence district as herein defined shall give
audible warning with his horn or other
warning device before, passing or attempt
ing to pass a vehicle proceedmg in the
same direction.”
In other words, give the car you are
passing at least two feet of clearance, and
sound your horn before passing a car on
the open highway.
The law also imposes certain limitations
on this privilege of overtaking and pass
ing, one of these being to forbid passing
unless the “left side is clear visible and is
free of oncoming traffic for a sufficient
distance ahead to permit such overtaking
and passing t.o be made in safety.” Othei
limitations forbid passing another vehicle
upon the crest of a grade or upon a curve
in the highway where the driver’s view
along the highway is obstructed witkn a
distance of five hundred feet, and forbid
passing at any highway intersection or
railway grade crossing unless permitted by
a traffic or police officer.
Borrowed Comment
SMALL PRICE
(Charlotte ObserverJ
Citizens of the United States will on
Wednesday begin paying the highest taxes
ever devised in this country. It will be a
big burden for many persons who never
paid anything directly.
The income tax is practically a 10 per
cent levy. In addition are the varied ex
cise and nuisance taxes, $5 flat to operate
an automobile, 7 per cent when buying
one, taxes on rail and bus tickets, on tele
phone calls, on everything that the tax bill
framers could think of and which they
thought the public would stand.
Does it seem burdensome, hard, exces
sive? On first thought it might, this tak
ing 10 cents from every dollar a man or
woman makes. But consider that we are
only paying for a war; other nations arc
paying and fighting and bleeding and dy-
ng, too.
That is, so far we are merely paying
others to fight for us. The 'American citi
zen is still sound in limb, unbombed, his
children safe in school or at home; his
rospitals and public utilities not the targets
of murderers in the skies.
After all, the American is paying a
;mall price.

DONOVAN IN BASEBALL
A local fight fan dropped off
to sleep following the end of the
Loule-Nova fight Monday ^ night
wheu Referee Donovan stopped
the fight near the end of the
sixth round. This fight fan
dreamed that he was watching
the opening game of the World
Series between the Yankees and
the Brooklyn Bums. It was the
sixth inning and the Yankees al
ready had one run. In the sixth
they had two men on base and
DlMaggio walked to the plate.
The aforesaid Donovan was the
umpire and he promptly stopped
the game, saying the Dodgers
were out-classed and there was
no need for them to get, beaten
further. That was not all the
dream. Donovan stopped the
series, saying there was no use
of the Dodgers getting beaten
four days and that it would be
unmerciful to allow the series to
go further.

T^ere Can Be No Curtailment of Dodge Quality
No Substitute for Dodge Dependability

leNew
and the Hnest Dodge
E very man or woman who buys one
of these new Dodges will get for his
money the very finest car that Dodge
has ever turned out. He will get it, of
course, from a smaller total production,
because the Government of the United
States has first call upon Dodge factories
and men. But, we repeat, every civilian
buyer of Dodge motorcars will receive
for his investment all of the traditional
Dodge quality at higher levels of endur
ance, performance and economy than
Dodge has ever supplied them before.
Power-Flow Engine-
All-Fluid Drive
-For
He will get, literally, the climax value
of twenty-seven years of fine car engi
neering. He will get the phenomenal
success of Dodge All-Fluid Drive. He
will get the new Power-Flow Engine,
designed and adapted as the more power
ful complement to the fluid smoothness
of Dodge All-Fluid Drive. He will get
a motorcar of lifetime lasting qualities,
in which ridipg and driving have
become almost the same thing—except
that the driver gets the added joy of
command.
Is This Asking Too Much?
People by the hundreds who have driven
the new Dodge say almost the same
thing. They say they could not, and
would not, go back to the old way of
driving. It is not asking too much, we
believe, that you investigate these revo
lutionary Dodge qualities.
You should experience the ebb and
flow of Dodge power, at any speed, in
any traflSc, ivith or without shifting gears
as you may wish. You should measure
its new economy against the old, and
realize that Dodge, all by itself, has
turned the corner into a new day of
motorcar performance, long life, and
Dependability.
Dependability — Forever
the Watchword
It is unquestionably true that fewer cars
will be built this coming year, according
to your own defense requirements. But,
above all, it is true that there can never
occur any curtailment of Dodge motor
car quality—and no substitute, ever, for
Dodge Dependability. '
. J
A new Dodge car is a basic investment
for the years.
