PAGE TWO THE DANBURY REPORTER Published Weekly at Danbury, X. C. N. E. & E. P. Pepper, Publishers " WEDNESDAY, JAN. 20 1932 No Man Liveth Unto Himself. Neither can. peoples or nations live to them selves and prosper, any more than individuals. This principle is from the Dock of books, and is true. Prof. Slighter of Harvard—a world authority on Business Economics —writes in t urrent His tory: "The advance in the American tariff in Jun;j. 1930, was followed during the eleven months by upward tariff revisions in 25 countries" —thus undermining the world's prosperity. The evidence appears to b e unmistakable that the high tariff walls erected by the Hoover ad ministration precipitated the universal hog spirit which has thinned the blood of interna tional commerce, and inflicted our American trade and business with economic anemia. Villages and towns living near to each other, bordering States, nations that look across the water in mutual friendship and mutual needs, must keep down the restrictions of trade and let business have a free rein—if prosperity is experienced. The selfishness and greed of great American capitalists who desire to keep out foreign com petition, is responsible for the high tariff walls of America that offend and estrange foreign trade and commerce. The gigantic fall off in our exports of cotton, tobacco, lumber, steel, oil, sugar and other raw materials bears witness to unholy hands tampering with our tariff sche dules. 0 The Hoover Panic. In deprecating the widespread condemnation of President Hoover for his panic, Republican orators and apologists evince themselves fioor sports. There was never heard a complaint from Grover Cleveland and his Democratic supporters for the blame laid for the 1893 stringency, even though Democrats knew that the "Cleveland panic" was only the backwash of the Harbison administration, and that Cleveland was not re sponsible. Thousands of Democrats in North Carolina went over into the Republican camp because they believed the Republican propaganda that Cleveland was to blame—even though the plates were made for the great bond issue which Republican extravagance and incompetence made necessary whon Cleveland came in. Mr. Hoover may not be responsible for the worst depression in the nation's histjory. But he has certainly demonstrated his incapacity so far to alleviate the suffering, the unemploy ment and the business paralysis in its wake, and his party which has for time immemorial ar rogated to itself supreme ability in the pros perous management of the nation's affairs, has fallen s 0 far in the estimation and confidence of the Ameriian people that they only await the November election to turn out of power the party of big promises and impotent accomplish ment. O The Expected Thiner. The Democratic House of Representatives has passed a tariff bill, which President Hoover will veto as soon as he can get contact *vith it.! The only changes which the Democrats have suggested at this stage is the restoration of the complete rate-making authority to Congress, where it constitutionally belongs, and the inclus ion of a project for an international conference to consider mutual reductions—in effect a reci procity conference. President Hoover will only do the expected thing when he vetoes the Democratic tariff bill. He is not willing to relinquish his power to raise or lower rates through the Tariff Commission. His prerogative is quite valuable in his hancte when he wants to take care of the highly pro tected manufacturers who make large contribu tions to the Republican campaign fund. t JUST ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER | 0 By CARL GOEf«CH. >boooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOv It really was—to say the least extremely embarrass ing. You see, it happened at about five o'clock last Sunday | afternoon. I was sitting in the! living room. twiddling my thumbs. As a thumb-twiddler. I really am an expert. Most folks go in for plain twiddling, but I put a lot of variations to my twiddling. For instance, sometimes, I'll twiddle real slowly, like this; —t wid d 1 -. Then, all of a sudden. I'll speed up and go fast like this; — twidl! Absolutely. I can twiddle forwards like this— twiddle, or I can do it back wards, like this—elddiwt. You ought to see me sometime. However, twiddling wasn t what I intended to tell you about. I was sitting in the living room when all of a sud den I had a notion that I'd like some oysters. So I grab bed up a large galvanized buck et out on the back porch, threw it into the car and drove down to the docks, where the oyster boats were tied up. I bought a quarter's worth, — put the bucket out on the running board. Then I headed back for home. Driving along Main street, I got to thinking about some thing else and forgot all about the oysters. I reckon maybe I was driving a little too rapid ly. Anyway. I suddenly heard an outrageous racket. Some thing like this—brwumpcrash —bing bang—clatter. 1 stopped the car and stuck my head out of the window to see what had happened. The bucket had fallen off the running board. It and the oysters were scattered along street for half a block. I drew the car up alongside the curb, got out and retrived the buck et. Then I started gathering up the oysters. That's where the embarrass ment came in. I Have you ever had a galvan If President Hoover's home building campaign goes thru probably he can set aside a Na tional Stay-at-Home Week next year. Everybody likes to see a man "come back" providing, of course, he isn't a bill collector. THE DANBURY REPORTER | ized bucket in your hand on a i Sunday afternoon and gone : oystering on th e principal busi ness street of your town? I never had either. When 1 i started out, Main street was in the midst oi its Sunday af ! ternoon quiet. Before 1 had ! picked up a dozen oysters, I be lieve half the town was watch ing proceedings. I People, riding by in automo biles, looked out of their cars, saw me out in the middle of the street gathering up oysters, ' and gasped. Some of them more than gasped: they made a lot of sarcastic and uncalled for comments. Quite a crowd ; gathered on the sidewalk and ! offered remarks which were in tended t 0 be encouraging but ! which were entirely out of j place. And then some smart I alecks speeded up their cars I and headed straight for me. ' blowing their horns to beat al! get-cut. They kept me jump ■ ing from one side of the street to the other. I'd pick up an oyster and then I'd jump a jump. Sometimes I'd have ro make two jumps to get one , oyster. One guy, in an old 1 Model T Ford, almost got me. me. I wish you could have seen that jump. H e almost got the oysters, too. j When I get my mind set on anything, though, I usually ga 1 through with it. I made up my mind that I'd get those ' oysters if it was the last thing I did, so I kept right on pick ing them up. And I got them, I too, all except those which I were crushed beneath the tires of passing automobiles. I got some of those too —I got the juice spattered all over my pants. I was never so glad to get a thing over with in all my life. Hereafter, when I get an in piration like that on a Sunday afternoon I'm going to stick to my twiddling. That, at least, is a peaceful occupation and one which can be pursued •v'thcut causing a lot of excite ment and fuss. The principal trouble with the rising generation is that it doesn't rise until the older gen eration has climbed out of bed and got most of the work done. It takes a high-priced radio comedian to make the old jokes sound funny again. DEATHS FROM AUTO ACCIDENTS In North Carolina 762 were Killed and 5,075 Injured Dur ing Past Year. According to the report of L. S. Harris, chief of the automo bile license division in Raleigh, there were 762 people killed and 5.075 injured during the year 1931 in North Carolina.
