MEMBER NORTH CAROLINA PRESS ASSOCIATION
THURSDAY, JANUARY 2t, 1932
With all the talk about economy in govern
we have not observed any great enthusiasm on
the part of Congressmen towards reducing
their $10,000 salaries. Evidently economy
does not begin at home.
The general belief is that owing to the hard
times the demand for liquor has dropped off
considerably. According to this rule Charlotte
must be prospering. They captured a thousand
gallon liquor still there a few days ago.
At the Jackson day dinner Al Smith suggest
ed that the Government should spend sever
al billion dollars on road building. There is al
ready a big deficit and Government bonds
have been declining but Mr. Smith thinks the
remedy is to go deeper in debt. Unfortunate
ly there are a good many Congressment who
hold the same sort of ideas.
Representative Lankford of the Norfolk dis
trict seems to enjoy the confidence and sup
port of the voters of Norfolk and Portsmouth,
which two cities constitute the major part of
the district. He is the only Republican Con
gressman from Virginia and one of very few
south of the Potomac river. Although many
Republican Congressmen were defeated in
1930 Mr. Lankford was reelected. He has been
of great service to the people of his district
and this probably accounts for his popularity.
BALANCED BUDGETS
Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon
says that Uncle Sam must balance his budget.
Which means that we must stop spending more
than he collects. This is good common sense
and applies to all governments, firms and in
dividuals. Anybody who spends more money
than he makes will get in trouble if he has time
enough.
Due to enormous appropriations by Cong
ress, in most instances voted for by both Demo
crats and Republicans, and to a big falling off
in receipts the United States treasury has a
deficit. If all the bills that have been intro
duced in the present Congress should pass it
would just about bring the nation into a state
of bankruptcy. Fortunately a good many of
them will not pass and if they should do so
President Hoover would probably veto them,
as he has done before. The absolutely neces
sary expenses of the government should be met
and not much more than that should be done.
North Carolina is also confronted with a
deficit. Governor Gardner in his radio speech
one night last week told how serious the sit
uation is. The Governor fhowed how the
State's revenue from various souces had de
clined. It appears that the receipts from the
general fund revenues, originally estimated to
be $27,500,000 will not be more than $23,750
000, whcih is a pretty large drop. In order
to meet this distressing situation expenses will
have to be cut. Governor Gardner says no
more highways are to be built and that the
new prison will have to wait a while. He did
not say anything about cutting schools but it
seems probable that some counties that have
had eight months school will have to get along
with six.
Secretary Mellon is right in insisting that
the United States must balance its budget and
Governor Gardner is right in trying to do the
same for the State. Economy in government
is greatly to be desired at this juncture.

DEATHS BY VIOLENCE
According to the report of the Bureau of
Vital Statistics sixty seven persons were kill
ed in automobile accidents in North Carolina
during the month of December and eleven
were killed by automobile and train collisions.
Thirty were killed by their fellowmen and
women and twenty nine took their own lives.
Besides there werea considerable number of
accidental deaths of one sort and another.
Thus it appears that by violent means of one
kind and another a very considerable number
of our citizens have departed this life And the
worst sort of it is that this sort of thing goes
on not just for one month but for twelve.

Editor of The News:
And the Lord God took the man,
and put him into the garden of Eden
to dre-s it and to keep it; and the
Lord God commanded the man, say
ing: "Of every tree of the garden
thou mayest freely eat; but of the
tree of the Knowledge of good and
evil thou shalt not eat of it, for in
th dav that thou eatest thou shalt
surely die." Herein you readily see
that the first law God ever gave man
was broken although the penalty was
death. When Jesus was born into
this world He was born surrounded
with these catagory of evils and temp
tations. He could have removed them
and made this earth a Paradise but
that was not His mission. In like
manner we and our children come in
to this world and we as dutiful par
ents should point out the?e evils and
temptations the danger of partaking
of them and the penalty therefor,
not by force but with love and kind
ness, not failing to use the rod when
needed (for he that spareth the rod
spoileth the child). I had as good a
father as any child ever had and he
always kept whiskey in his home
where we children had free access to
it. He taught us the danger of ex
cessive use and the penalty therefor.
When I was raising my children I
followed in his footsteps until the
day the prohibition law was ratified
jand drove it from the towns and cit
iie? into the woods and as I was rais
i ed to honor and respect the laws of
lour country and could not find where
I could procure a license to violate a
law though obnoxious. I abandoned
jthe use of it. When my children went
j out into the world to fight the battles
of life I had no dread nor fear that
they would partake of this evil. Train
J a child in the way he should go;
;when he is old he will not depart
'from it. Our hearts are deceitful a
ibove all things and desperately wick
led. Who can know them? Men love
darkness rather than light be
cause their deeds are evil. If our
hearts are deceitful and desperately
wicked and our deeds evil then pray
tell me how we are to fight these ev
way possible from Texas to Maine
ils for a kingdom divided against it
self is brought to desolation. Evil has
fought evil until it has made the
who would be successful put in their
and from Maine to California to ob
tain this evil (whiskej) and that at
the expense of the Government the
bootlegger reaping a profit.
If the use of whiskey is a crime or
disgrace and this was stamped in the
!fo!ehead of all who partake of it,
many of our judges on the bench and
isome of our minister on the stand

It is a bit complicated, but we gather that Europe
will be unable to pay what she owes us unless we can
cel the debt. Life.
CANCELLATION IS NOT POPULAR
Sentiment in Congress both among Demo-
crats and Republicans seems to be strongly j
opposed to any more cancellation of the for- j
eign debts. That is to say the debts owing by
foreign countries to the United States govern- j
ment. The big bankers who have floated bil- !
lions of dollars worth of bonds for Germany i
and various countries in Europe and other
parts of the world would like to have our
Government cancel the foreign debts because
they think it would then be easier to collect
what the foreigners owe them.
In opposing debt cancellation Congress will
be following the wishes of a large majority of
Americans. Any way about half of the debts
have already been cancelled. It does look like
they ought to be willing to pay half of what
they borrowed. But they do not want to pay
any thing if they can get out of it. Despite
their hypocrital talk about Americans being
Shylocks they are far more avaricious than
we. The French are notoriously so, as any
American soldier who went to France will tes
tify. The biggest mistake made over here was
in lending them so much money. It was a mis
take that is not likely to be made again any
time soon.
Po?tal savings in the United States have risen from
$160,000,000 in September, 1929, to $461,000,000 at
the end of September 1929. A case of hiding money
in Uncle Sam's old sock but if all the money in the
ountry similarly quit working, there would soon be a
hole ever: in Uncle Sam's sock Munice Evening Press.
THE HUNGER MARCHERS
In recent weeks there have been two so-called
"Hunger Marches" on the city of Washing
ton. They came there ostensibly for the pur
pose of getting relief for the unemployed.
Neither expedition accomplished any thing in
particular. The President and Congress and
everybody else knows that there are many
people out of work in the United States as well
as in every country in the world. President
Hoover and Congress are doing all they can
to get business back on its feet, which is the
best remedy for unemployment that can be
devised.
The first of these delegations that came to
Washington was a communistic affair and the
leaders of it are more interested in overthrow
ing the Government of the United States than
they are in getting jobs for the idle. In fact
many of these fellows never do an honest
day's work if they can get out of it and real
work is about the last thing they want. The
other crowd of unemployed was led by a Cath
olic priest who possibly meant well, but the
report is that the real motive behind this ex
pedition was political. It was probably got
ten up to discredit President Hoover and to ad
vertise the depression for political effect. They
came in automobiles and trucks and with brass
bands to liven things up. One of the crowd
collapsed from nervousness arid was taken to
WE KNOW A MERCHANT
We know a merchant here who has an abundai.ee of
fa'.tii ::i the future, a firm belief that this section is on
the veige of staging a "come-back," and anabiding con
fidence in his friends and fellow citizens.
We know another merchant who has no faith in the
future but then, he never has, in good times or bad.
He doesn't have a firm belief that this section or the
nation is on the verge of staging a "come-back." Gall
and brimstone are more to his liking as fetishes. He
has no abiding confidence in his friends and fellow
citizens. We suspect that once upon a time one of
his patrons must have left town owing him $1.98, and
failed to come back.
We like the goods of the first merchant. His cloth
has the appearance of being all wool and a yard wide.

A GHASTLY FAILURE
The monumental failure of the depression period of
19 1 1, is the failure of the Federal Reserve Bank Sys
tem to perform the duties for which it was supposed
to be created. The Federal Reserve Eank System is
the outjrrowt'i of the legislation advanced by Senator
Alridge in li. 12-13, that had for the time being the
definite purpose of preventing a money panic, a mon
ey panic of the kind had previously from 1893 to 1897
and in 1907.
The idea was to create a central bank with branch
organizations extending to every part of the country,
that these branch organizations be able to recommend
to the central bank, certain loans based on the collat
eral available in their localities to promote the issu
ance of emergency currency; this emergency currency
was to be taxed at a special rate, either in the form
of high interest charge or special tax, which would
cause it to be withdrawn from circulation when not
needed. This was the idea which finally germinated
in the Federal Reserve Bank System. ,
The fact is the Federal Reserve banks have failed,
to prevent a money panic, and have failed to give
any aid to small city and town banks. Thousands of
banks have been compelled to close their doors in the
United States during the past year, not because they
did not have valuable assets, and not because their
management had been dishonest, but rim ply because
they loaned money upon industries and properties in
the towns in which they were operating; in short, they
had aimed to serve their communities. And they
closed their doors because the machinery which the
American people thought had been set up to prevent
a money panic, failed of that purpose; in fact, never
approached, and never contemplated that purpose.
