* T THE JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL Puplishcd Weekly by The JACKSON CONNTY JOURNAL CO. Entered as second class mutter ? the Post Office at Sylva, X. C. .- U, - IU\r Editor t' l ' W1IO I. J 10 JLAIM ( When the (it::'.-id Assembly o. lM.'i met, cue Vlaru o i lite homes aut. i'M-nis in Noiih Carolina Itud bee: .sold lor ;axes. 1 he ad valorem some, for taxutiou to &uppoi'j the school^ hfid practically dried up. The Spat1 laced ' lie alternative cif closing luan.s oi' its schools, defaulting on its debt .??.ud going through an even worse tea won of depression than i'L actually ex pfnfcnccd, or o i finding o: her source for taxation. I i proceeded to cut even i.ilary on the State pay-roll, begin ning with the Governor and goin^ down. It then did an heroic and unheard of thing, under such aying cireuiu stances. It declared that every schoo, in North Carolina must btr opei-alet for a full term iu eight months, am 11talj the Stale, not local taxpayers would pay the bill. Thus it put tit school system on a sound, tiim an< equitable foundation , keeping every school hou.se door open, and relieving the heavily-burdened homes an< farms, and paid every teacher his sui ary in full every time it came due, ir. good chct'bj :hat didnlt have to h< dKcounlod. Thai was a reoor-.i o: which any Slate could be proud. Th mandate of the Constitution was, t'm the lii-st time, really put iiiio effeel and real educational advantages pro vided for every child in North Car> lina, from the coves of the mouutaitu to the coves of 'the i.eaeoa.v, little schools in small communities as well us biflf schools in populous centers. Then- the iLily papers of 'the ci'tie.-;. ami Hi;} kaueis of the NorthCarolan. fcducatioii Association, unable or i.a willing 'to see IjuI one side of the pic tuiv, and thai n seltish side, began to sow the wind. They kepi repeating thait the General Assembly, at ?.he oe hest of tue rich and wicked Corpora ?tions had gutted the schools of Noi'ti> Carolina, had taken oil taxation and made the children and teachers suJla thereby. There never was any truth in such assertions The reverse wa; the tact?that the General Assembly, by heroic action, actually saved tuu. exjvuidcu lite School system, so sa to bring every child and every teaciiei tUider its full bcueiits. Xuw, after having given many peo pie of the Sta.e nil a impression thai the General Assembly had ruined tin .schools in order to save money for fho corporations, thereby paving the w.ay for McDoualdism, these same }>apera are moving heaven and earth to defeat him. Dr, McDonald says that he will move "all the old crowd" out 01 Raleigh? To whom does he refer? To A. J. Maxwell, tho very efficient, and conscientious servant of the St?:e? He is the only major office-holder we can think of who has been in office for any length of time. He says that he wants to lick the "machino". What machine? The old one with St-uaUn Simmons at its head w.us licked out if its pants only a few years ago. (if i't were in operation now, the Doctor wouldn't got to fir^i base) When Max Gardner nan for Governor 'the first vime he ran in op jwsition to the machine. Now, Dr. Mr Donald says there is one than is very wicked and powerful. Organization in any business, even politics and government, is necessary to success. Does the Doctor mean that) he would try to be Governor without any or ganization? Or would he exchange the present one for his own? Does he mean that he has no organization backing him now? If he does, where js the money coming from Co flood the State with McDonald literature and to pay for radio broadcasts? That sort of thing costs money and lots of it. He asserts tha; ho will get the money to increase the pay of teachers and others on the public payroll from the corporations. What corpo rations? Just which ones have some twenty millions of dollars a year ly injr about where the tax-gatherers of tV.e State can lay hands upon it? If the sales tax is to be removed where would the twenty million dol lora or more needed to carry out the Pretor's plan oome from? The banks wouldn't lend it unless there wan suf ficient tax money coining in to repay them, with interest1. The farmers, even those who are advocating McDonald, would not agree for it to be pot back on the property within the State. And, in the lost analysis, every thing that Dr. McDonald .advocates, with the exception of filling the ap j j>ointive offices with new men, is no: | within -the province of the Governor; but is the specific duty of the General Assembly, elected by the people, from every county in the State. It is a new departure in North Car ulina for man to, campaign for ?:hc gubernatorial nomination 011 a plat form of crkicism of the actions ol his own party. There are many counties in North Carolina, situated like Jackson, tha: are especial beneficiaries of the tax ?ind school sys.em.We have the schooN atul the wealthier sections of the otak; pay most of the bilLDr.McDon aid would never have had a show had Li. no: been for the. flood of criticisn cha^ the very papers that aro now try irig to.defeat him, opened up on the Qcueral Assembly, and kepi running; until it took hold upon the people of North Carolina, in large number**. They sowed the wind and are now trying to stop the whirl-wind. You can't opeivtt-c schools, pay ! highway bonds, repair roads, look ! after the public health, keep institn .ious of higher learning, for the blind, the unfortunate, the insane, pay the i Stale's part of the old-age pensions, and do the other many, necessary functions of government without; a lot >f money. It has to come from some source. The question, for .die time be ing, is o-ily whether the mass of the j people want to continue pacing their virt of it a few pennies at a time, or .vhciher these things will be greatly ??urtailed or discontinued. When the General Assembly of j 1933 took t !ie tnx for school purposes 1 >ff .vhe land, if also, in the some act. ncrcase<l the franchise taxes of cor ;M>r.ations, in order to give the benefit ?>f the property tax reductions to Che farmers and home-owners, without at he same time unequalizing the taxes that the corporations pay. Now, what would McDonald do if he were Governor, and if he had the power to do anything about it, which, under our Constitution, he would not have ? NEWS FROM WASHINGTON (Continued From Page 1) niisistration, as a nuiuer ol' i.'ict, Un original pL'ui lad no friends exccpt Among a small group of Treasury advisors. More or less openly th? i'resideui 's strongest suppw'.ers are expressing their uj/poeiitiou. The best judgment here is that the ouflcome will be u moderate increase in genera! corporation Uixcw and a very moder ate step in the dreotion of taxing cor porate surpluses, insivead of relying upon the latier eax to noise all uf> the required additional revenue. TODAY and TOMORROW (Continued Froim Page 1) In the turmoil of conflicting idea* and policies nothing is easier for the human spirit than to lose its anchor age. It takes courage and chapter to hold fast to lime-tried, elemental truths, and it requires understanding intelligence to moasure new ideas by the scale of the old truths. That so many young folks seem to have no tirm convictions suggesijs to me ,'ihat both the churches and schools have fallen down on the jobi. There is itoo much toleration of compromise between what is right and what is expedient. ??_____ ?' 1 I HOUSING CLINIC IN ASHEVILLE TUESDAY,MES. MOKEE TO TALK! Joseph L.
