JACKSON COUNTY JODXKAL Published Weekly By The JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL CO. Entered as second class matter at the Post Office at Sylva, N. C. DAN TOMPKINS, Editor Friday of next week is. in this eountry, by tradition, the d?y to plant brans. Something that is as rare as a day in June: An agreement of the twe North Carolinians on a vote in the United States Senate. ?) N H A garden well-planned, wellj-pre pared, and well-tended is worth as ipuch as an additional ordinary sal ary in any family. "Brevard Men Get Numbers", says a headline. Yes, and Mr. Shipman, in his statement to the press, strongly in tiriiutes that he has got some other people's numbers. -j Explorers announce that they have found the capital of the Qrieen of Sheba; but , practically, it would be worth more to the world, right now, if they would stumble on King Solo mon's mines. ;> s ? ; . It is a question of whether, Farm er Bob, as chairman of the Ways and iMeans Committee, thinks he should stand by the President on all occas v ions, or whether he is really Doughtou 'the wisdom of paying the bonus now. r a ' J s . As wo take it, Mr. Instill s idea, put in the words of Kipling1, is: Ship me somewhere east of Suez, where K . the best is like the worst, and there '?^aren't no To!i Commandments. A sign, this side of Asheville, ad vertises "tourists 75c". The eode must have raised the price of them, too. We might be interested in a half do/, en tourists at six for a quarter; but 75c each is above our valuation. Have conditions improved since Mr. Roosevelt took th ereins, of govern ment ? Remember back a year, and then read this: "Not a hank in the I nited States has failed in the past two months" W<e"l lay a small wager that ip the air mail were entirely discontinu ed, one hundred nineteen million, nine hundred and ninety thousand out of the total one hundred twenty million people in this country, wouldn't ever know a thing about it, except what they read in the papers. All of which shows how unimportant things about which a great ado is made really are. Our private advice to the people of Jackson county is to raise every bit of food that they can, make the va riety as large as possible, sell all that is not needed for family con sumption, keep all the money we can at home, and live at the same place. We haven't seen any plan to reduce cabbage production, and that's where Jackson county shines. They. can't, raise 'em anywhere else like the ones in Hamburg, and all that the cabbage lands in the county could produce, wouldn't make slaw for one day in New York. Don't be afraid to plant cabbages, boys ? they fetch home the cash. Every hog that is raised in the county this year will add) that" much to the fami'y's and the county's food supply, next winter. We don't have to depend upon somebody else to feed us. We can feed ourselves, if we be stir ourselves. It is the fellow who wont work this spring and summer, who will be calling upon the welfare officers for assistance, next winter. SALES TAXES AND SCHOOLS The public press senses that the Republicans, in their State conven tion, will open fire on the sales tax, and wage their campaign along that line, in North Carolina. It is admitted that the sales tax has its disadvantages, and) that a rimart talker can pick holes in it big ?enough to throw an elephant through; but just what will the Republicans propose to take its place? Will they advocate going back to the old system of public schools, andi abandon the one set up by the last General As sembly, under, which the smaU'ei counties, such as Jackson, have, foi the first time in their history, had an eight months school term for every child, one equal to that in any city in the State; and under which North Carolina bears the almost unique record, among the States, of havinp kept every school open, not a single one closing for lack of funds? Will they propose that we go back to the tax on property, for the bene fit of the schools, under which th< owners of homes and farms had been carrying an almost unbearable burden, under which the distribution of the opportunities for schooling were most unequally distributed, the country child most most unjustly- discrimi nated against in favor of the city child, and the country property owner being most unjustly discriminated against in favor of the city owner of property, under which the* system of property taxation had practically broken down of its own weight, and under which one third of the homes and farms in North Carolina ha.l been sold for taxes, when tin- lasr General Assembly convened? It we are to have a campaign waged around the sales tax, then let lis have some constructive criticism. Let us have a propohal as to what we are to expect as a substitute,' hi case it should be repealed. THE AIR MAIL f m. - The cancellation of the air mail contracts by President Roosevelt ha; brought about his head the greatest storm that has yet arisen during his administration. The unfortunate deaths of eight army flyers, in their attempt to car ry the mail, has played into the hands of the Roosevelt enciinies, and has ad ded fuel to the flames of their wrath. That there was fraud, corruption, and downright thievery in connect ion with the air mail contracts with com mercial companies, there appeal's to be little doubt. At least the Admini stration was so persudaed, and fol lowing its way of going directly to the heart of things, the contracts were canceled'. There has been so much graft and corruption connected with government iiv recent years, thai the people had become distrustful of government. The Administration was warring against depression, fight inp to beat, back along the trail lo pros perity, and one of the essential ele ments of permanent prosperity i ?; eon fidenee. Hence, when the stench of the air mail contracts reached the nos trils of the people and of the Ad- 1 ministration, Mr. Roosevelt immedi ately performed a major operation. I find cut out the cancerous growth. I Mr. Lindbergh, the lucky, popular idol by grace of blind luck, and re- j I'ipient of aviation company stocks, so ? that lie could be used by the masters. j when they saw the net d of usin?r his | iK)puIarity wjlh the jxople for their J >wn selfish ends, to the contrary I lotwit hstailding, that is jn>t what the Vdmiuist ration should have done un ler the circumstances, and meets the tpproval of honest Americans, who ire sick and tired of seeing their gor ?rnment used by selfish men for self sh ends, disguhtcd with seeing their mblic treasury plundered by grafters >f great wealth. That the army fivers ??av.e theii lives *>n try iii.ur to carry the mails, i* the lirst serious reverse that fate has dealt the Koosevel I ad.r.inis (ration. However, many thousandt of yoiinj? army men have in time past <?ivm their lives in the ser vice of th.'ir jjovernment for les worthy eanse than assisting in endinf* <?raft. That the army was not pre pared to carry the mails hut nccc.iit;t ates how far behind the times army officials have allowed the air service to fall. An army aviation corps that isn't able to carry the mails over routes that have been tested by com mercial companies, would be of littl? use to the country in case of war, and its inability to do so is incxcus ? { able, and is probably due to the ten acity with which the army holds to out of date methods and machines. The responsibility for the deaths of the y?:in<? men lies not at Mr. Roosevelt's door; but at the door of the army air service, who assured him, in then1 asinine complacency, that the army could carry the air mails. i Much as the death of these young men is to be regretted, they shall no'j have died in vain, if they have given their lives in the cause of ridding tht boy politic of the vermin oi^gfrt.
