WHERE ARE WE GOING?
| Qne of the most thought-provoking ed
itorials we have read in recent months
* appeared in The Charlotte Observer sev
eral days ago, dealing with modern con
ditions, habits and customs. The editor
ial dealt with conditions that confront
the young man and young woman of to
day, and at the same time discussed abl}'
Jj&nd sensibly the obligations that face the
parents because of the conditions which
the young people must meet.
The editorial is so worth-while that we
give it in full to our readers, with the
hope ethat parents will read it to their
The greatest menace to the American
Nation today is not any sort of “yellow
peril” or possible war. It is not the pos
sibility of the repeal of the Volstead law'
or an amendment to prohibit the manu
facture and use of tobacco. It is not the
possibility of a “wet” President or a
Catholic President, nor even the power of
the Ku Klux Klan.
The greatest menace to the Nation, to
its institutions and to the freedom of a
liberty-yoving people is the growing dis
respect for all that our fathers held sa
cred or regarded with veneration—la,ck
of respect for all authority,and law. The
Bible, the Constitutions of the Nation and
the States, the moral code and the princi
ples of good citizenship, including hon
*esty and clean personal habits, taught the
children by the fathers and mothers a
generation ago —all are being not only
but even sneered at by an
ever-growing element of our people.
u It has already reached the point that
a man who had a pious mother who
taught him as a child the fundamentals
of Christianity and good citizenship and
instilled in his young mind the highest
moral code would be ridiculed in many
quarters today were he to admit that he
still believed in the principles she taught
him. lie would be regarded by many
in same same class with grown-ups. who
still believed literally in the child’s inter
pretation of the story of Santa Claus.
And those who w'ould point the finger of
ridicule at him would not be those alone
who are regarded as criminal or ‘low
_-brows” or “rough necks,” but also and
—more particularly a large section of the
—perfectly respeatable element of the
population—those who have enjoyed ed
ucational advantages, had plenty of
books, magazines and newspapers to
read and been reared within the sound of
many church bells.
There is abroad in the land something
of a mania, for tearing down the land
marks, for wiping the halo fro'm about the
heads of the heroes of the past and for
ridiculing all that men of former years
and decades venerated and held sacred.
There are those w r ho stand ready to ap
plaud those w'ho undertake to cast re
proach upon the name of George Wash
ington and other patriots who laid the
foundations of the peace and freedom and
prosperity we enjoy today. There are
those who are ever ready to enjoy a good
laugh when some one will ridicule any
thing that men for generations have re
vered. With an ever-increasing multi
tude of respectable people even the in
stitution of marriage is a funny joke and
conspicuous violators of the marriage re
lation are regarded as deserving of honor
for the courage they display in smashing
the conventions.
Let some intellectual pervert write a
book portraying a libertine as a hero or
a harlot as a heroine and an ever-increas
ing number of perfectly respectable peo
ple will rush to spend their own money
• and that of their creditors to swell the
royalties of the author. Let some blas
phemer write a book making a vicious
attack upon the Bible or the Church, or
portraying the ministry as entirely com
posed of hypocrites, adulterers and mon
ey grabbers, and it becomes immedeiately
a “best seller.” Let a minister speak an
unfavorable word about such a book and
immediately there goes up a chorus of
denunciation of him.
Suppose the number of those who have
no respect for the Bible, the Church, the
Constitution, the law or any constituted
authority continues to grow until they
constitute a decisive majority of our pop
ulation, ds a large element of the respect
able people seem to desire. Suppose the
tribe of the. worshippers and followers of
the Sinclair Lewises and the Rupert
Hughes- and the Earl Carrolls should
continue to increase as it has during the
last five or ten years until they become
powerful enough to do away with the
Constitutions and laws, churches, minis-
ters and Bibles? What then? What
have they to offer to take the places of
■ these civilizing influences? Nothing.
1 Back to barbarism and anarchy and
chaos —eVery man a law unto himself.
Such would be the logical result.
That is why thoughtful people—peo
ple who look ahead and think of the fu
ture and are concerned about the wel
fare of their children and grand-childrep
; —sometimes are distressed by the ten
dency of the times. /
It is encouraging, however, to believe
that the pendulum has about reached its
extreme and that it is about to swing back
the other way. Far-seeing ones already
claim to discern a tendency to halt the
reckless drift. Possibly the present sit
uation is but the afterw r ath of the World
disrupting War. It must get better—or 1
worst.
MUNICIPAL BUDGET INCREASES.
How municipal budgets are advancing
in America is revealed in a survey made
recently by the National Municipal
League which tells us that there was an
increasee in the tax rate in 1926 over
1925 of 54 cents on the thousand dollars
which may not seem very much but in
a city like New York that insignificant
increase would amount to $7,000,000. In
Charlotte it. would amount to $54,000.
In the ten-year period from 1904 to
1913, the average bond issues of State
and local governments amounted to 302
million dollars, whereas from 1913 to
1920, the same bond issues aggregated 507
million dollars.
In the last seven years such borrowings
as are represented by bond issues have to
taled $7,455,000,000, an annual average of
around $1,260,000,000.
The gross bonded debt of State and lo
cal governments at the end of 1925 was
$13,462,000,000, which 1-ess the cash ap
plied to sinking funds, would net a debt
of $11,443,000,000 and this costs the tax
payers of these governments in interest
charges alone annually $500,000,000.
Hubert Malkus writing on this theme
in the Business Magazine says that at
present, allowing for the new borrowings
in 1926 and the comparatively small
amount of bonds retired during the year,
the total net debt is something more than
twelve billion dollars, and the interest
charges this year will be more than $525,-
000,000.
At the end of 1923 the net debt of
State and local governments was SB,-
689,740,000, and bonds floated in 1924
and 1924 increased this amount by $2,-
753,260,000. These figures do not take
into account short term loans and special
assessment bonds, which also are a bur
den oh the taxpayers and a drain on the
public treasuries.
In 1923, when the total net bonded
debt was more than eight billion, State
and local governments spent, in interest
and retirement of bonds as they came
due, $1,072,000,000. By 1925 the net debt
had increasede to nearly eleven and a
half billion dollars, an accumulation of
32 per cent. Presumably, the outlaw on
the debt account increased proportion
ately and in 1923 was slightly under a
million and a half, the estimated amount
that will be necessary to maintain our
credit this year.
NEW ROUTE FOR P. & N.
Increase in land values, or rather an
increase in prices demanded for land ly
ing between Charlotte and Winston-
Salem, is said to have caused the Pied
mont and Northern Railway officials to
withdraw from the Interstate Commerce
Commission their request to continue the
lines of the company from Charlotte to
Winston-Salem.
Several weeks ago officials of the inter
urban line made inquiry from the com
mission about the extension, being in
doubt as to whether permission had to be
secured from the commission before the
extension could be made. Before the
federal body had opportunity to rule in
the matter the interurban officials with
drew the request, explaining that rights
of way were costing so much along the
proposed line that a new route might be
chosen, going'from Charlotte to Durham,
via Stanly county.
No doubt a cheaper right of way can
be secured along that route for that
not built up like that from
Charlotte to Winston-Salem. Property
owners along the proposed new route
should offer their land cheaper because
it would bring less at sale than land on
the upper route, extending through Con
cord, Salisbury and Lexington.
Too, the Piedmont and Northern could
not get half as much business along the
j lower route. Part of the section is with
;! out rail facilities, it is true, but no doubt
: this is due to the fact that there is no
; urgent need for such facilities. If that
i country had been rich in resources or
: manufacturing plants some rail line
: would have traversed it long ago.
We do not think the P. & N. should be
• “held up” by land owners, but at the
same time these officials should under
stand local conditions when they com
pare the prices asked for land on the two
proposed routes. The difference in ac
cessible business along the two routes
easily explains in one way, at least, the
difference in the land values.
Representative men from Concord,
Salisbury, Lexington and'Winston-Salem
are to meet early next week to go into
the matter, in the hope that a satisfactory
scale of land values can be reached where
by the upper route can be followed. It
should be borne in mind by the land
owners that their property will mater
ially increase in value with the coming of
the railroad and that while they are not
affered as much as they would like to
have, the property purchased by the in
terurban will make their other land so
valuable that in the long run they will be
benefitted.—
OUR PRISONS GROWING IN NUM
BER.
From February Ist to March 31st, 1927
—two months—the state’s prison receiv
ed 141 prisoners, 52 of these were ne
groes, 86 white, and 3* Indians. All these
were males except 3. Women are in the
majority at church, but the prisons tell
another story. Os these 141 prisoners,
38 whites and 13 negroes were under 20
years of age and all of them except 32
were under 30 years of age. Among the
crimes for which these prisoners were
sentenced there' were 16 for second de
gree murder, 13 for manslaughter, 14
house-breaking, 55 larceny and receiving,
and 13 highway robbery. These five
crimes include 111 of the 141. The two
months brought a 5 per cent, gain in the
State’s prison population and we may
safely assume that there was a like gain
in the prison population of the County
jails and chaingangs. These figures
which have been gathered from The
Prison News present a serious if not
alarming state of affairs. White boys
and young men under 30 years of age
number 70, practically one-half of the
entire group. The negroes seem to be do
ing better while the whites grow worse.
This appears to be true of the boys es
pecially when we recall that of the 52
boys under 20 years of age 39 were white
boys and 13 colored boys, a ratio of three
to one. These figures indicate that a
crime wave of youth, and of white boys ip
particular is mort than a product of the
imagination. It is a reality.—N. C.
Christian Advocate.
Surely this is one of the perplexing
problems confronting not only North
Carolina but all other States as well. Vis
it any court house during trial of crimi
nal cases and no doubt you will be struck
by the number of white prisoners. Time
was, and it has not been so long ago,
when most of the prisoners at the bar
were negroes. Times have changed. Es
pecially is this true with certain cases,
such as larceny, store-breaking and auto
stealing. It is a rare thing that a negro
is arrested in North Carolina charged
with the theft of a car, yet every day
scores of white persons are arrested on
supcli a charge. Most of the persons
guilty of this crime are young white men,
many of them too lazy to work and many
of them bootleggers who find it more
profitable to transport their contraband
in someone else’s car.
During the last session of the General
Assembly the proposal was made that
the State purchase more land for a State
Farm. Many raised objection, declaring
the State needed no more land. Then
it was pointed out that the number of
prisoners was increasing so rapidly that
the State has to have somewhere to put
them. That plea more than anything else
was responsible for the passage of the
bill giving the State money and authority
to purchase more ~ lands for additional
Prison Farms.
INDUSTRY TO SMALL TOWNS, v
Industry is now looking to the small
town says Public Service, commenting on
the modern advantages offered by the
small town as compared with a few years
ago.
“There was a utne,” says that paper,
“when industry flocked to the centers oi
population. That was because power,
transportation and telephonic communi
cation, facilities were available only in
such centers. Now power, transportation
and communication are at hand in the
small places and in the outskirts of the
large centers, and better living condi
tions and lower cost of living are gener
ally found outside the big cities.
“Long-distance telephone lines and
transmission wires stretch for hundreds
of miles to small towns and farffis far
distant.

ernor is not an easy job. It’s the kind of
job that gets next to any reasonable man
and the Chief Executive is wise to take
time off to recuperate from the rigors of
the work.
WHAT HAVE THEY TO CONCEAL?
The Associated Press reported Friday
that counsel for the United States gov
ernment, Owen Robjerts and Atlee Pom
erene, had sought and obtained from the
District of Columbia supreme court a
continuance until May 23 of the trial of
the case charging criminal conspiracy
against Harry F. Sinclair and Albert B.
Fall in connection with the lease of the
Teapot Dome oil reserve. The reason
given was that the government wanted
to continue its search for twp important
witnesses.
The missing witnesses are James E.
O’Neil and H. M. Blackmer and their
cases are among the most startling in
connection with the oil scandals. O’Neil
is*or was, president of the Prairie Oil and
Gas Company while Blackmer is or was
chairman of the board of directors of the
Midwest Refining Company. They ure
men of wealth, influence and promi
nence in the oil industry. In fact at one
time they were considered among the
leaders of the oil business. But here we
find them missing for several years, ap
parently in an effort to hide something.
What has happened to them is sum
marized by the New .York World:
“Both left the United States for Eu
rope suddenly in January, 1924, soon af
ter the disclosure of the Contineiltal
Trading company deal, out which the gov
ernment alleges Fall ’ received $230,000.
These two men were wanted by the gov
ernment as witnesses at the time of the
Cheyenne suit for recovery of Teapot
Dome in 1925. They refused to return
from Europe. In 1926 Congress adopted
the Walsh acts, giving the courts author
ity to summon Americans home from for
eign lands through the agency of the Am
erican consuls. To this authority Con
gress attached a penalty.of confiscation
of property up to a maximum estimated
value of SIOO,OOO for those who failed to
answer to subpoenas. American consuls
in Europe set out at once to serve sub
poenaes on Blackmer and O’Neil. The
two merv fled. No consular officer in Eu
rope has been able to discover w'here they
are hiding. Now counsel for the govern
ment in Washington throw's up its hands
* * and decides to ask for postponement.”
The action of government counsel in
dicates that they hope to have these wit
nesses by the latter part of May. They do
not disclose the information on which
they base this hope and the chances are
that the trial will have to be held with
out them. These men have been given
opportunity aplenty to come forward vol
untarily and since they have refused to
do this and have concealed themselves so
well that their arrests have not fiecn
made, there seems little likelihood that
they will be on hand when the trial be
gins. Concerning their action The
Greensboro News says:
“It is a curious spectacle which in thfe
minds of those who view it can be inter
preted in only one manner. Here are
wealthy, prominent, successful, respected
and nationally (e/ven internationally)
known leaders in the oil industry appar
ently abandoning their country to seek
cover in foreign countries rather than tes
tify in the Teapot Dome conspiracy case.
They have been away, so far as the gov
ernment knows, three years and four
months. They will remain away, so far
as anybody else can tell, as long as there
is any danger Jfiat they will have to tes
tify, even at the risk of a heavy fine, pro
vided the subpoenas are served.”
The government . might successfully
begin the trial without the men on the
assumption that their absence will
strengthen the case. Most any juror
could be made to believe that something
was radically wrong when men like these
leave the United States and refuse to
come back or allow their movements to
be known.
That fact alone, . it seems to us, is
enough to convict Sinclair and Fall. They
have something to hide apparently, or
■ they would want the missing witnesses
as badly] ais does the government.
After the decision in the;D,oheny case
j'we imagine O’Neil and Blackmer will
stay where they are. No doubt they
would have beeif home before this had
the Doheny case been favorable to the
defendants. But with the Suprtme
. Court ruling in no uncertain manner in
this case the missing men no doubt feel
they had better stay.where they aie, and
1 let Sinclair and Fall get along as best
» they can.
MUST LIVE WITHIN INCOME.
j Dr. E. C.. Brooks is telling the county
* commissioners just what isy expected of
them under the terms of the new county
government act. They must either cur
ij tail expenses and live within their in
come, levy a higher tax, or increase the
r valuation. '
( ft is f>lain that one of the three things
must be done and it is easy to say which
: one ought to be done in most counties.- In
many counties the revaluation is not go
ing to show much of an increase and it
1 is out of the question to raise taxes. The
; only logical thing to do is to try to cut
down expenses somewhere. j
“There are many counties in the state
•: that for years have been expending more
“ for general county expenses than they
1 have received in revenue from the 15
1 cents tax,” explained Dr. Brooks. “In
fact, they have been evading the consti
•< tution, by borrowing from time to time to
: meet current expenses,'and then when
1 they have piled up a big debt, have au
-1 thorized bond issues in liquidating it.
: Thus they have really voted an addi
tional tax for purposes which the consti
■ tution says the rate must not exceed
cents for each SIOO valuation.
1 “Nor has this been confined to the
1 counties alone. The same condition has
[ existed in the special school tax districts.
1 Os course there is no limit to the tax
! rate which may be levied to support the
! six months school term. But in" those
counties where there are special school
! tax districts, where an additional tax
has been levied to provide for two or
three months additional school besides
the six months term, the tax rate is fixed
by a vote of the people jyid cannot be
changed except by popular vote. Yet, in
many of these districts, much has been
spent that is derived from the special
tax, and in order to make up the deficit,
the districts have borrowed, just as the
counties have done—and then asked for
a bond issue to wipe out the debt. This
also, technically speaking, was unconsti
tutional, since it in reality imposed a
heavier tax than the law allowed.”
County authorities should readily fall
in line with the terms of this act. Once
the plan gets underway the business of
government can be more easily managed
and counties at least will- know how
they stand financially. Like it has been
under the old law money w r as borrowed
whenever needed without thought to the
future, no one cared about the county
debt, and business was run in a slip-shod
manner. W ith the new' law r there will
be a .system under which county officials
can tell at all times just what they have
on hand.
The Cantonese refuse to accept re
sponsibility for the Nanking outrages.
They insist that the British and Ameri
can ships bombarded the city, and for
this reason no reparations are to be made
exceept for damage to the American con
sulate. Eugene Chen, the Cantonese for
eign minister, lays all of the blame either
on the foreigners or on the defeated sol
diers, indicating that his own men did
nothing unlawful. There will be another
note from the foreign governments, no
doubt, and an effort will be made to im
press upon the Cantonese the feeling that
they are responsible for the deaths of the
American and British subjects in the city.

Statesville Daily.
i isherman will take notice that beginning April
1 and this is no April fool—fishermen must have
authority from the State to tish. A summary
of the law contained in a press dispatch says that
as a perliminary to fishing in “any public fresh

or both, or by cashing with rod of any description,”
