We Have a Power Plant
AX X O C N C E M E N T that the Franklin hydroelectric
power plant will revert to the town on April 1
has revived the old dispute over municipal ownership.
"Sell it," say many, "for 'if the town tries to operate
it taxes will' go sky high."
"Let's run it ourselves," say others, "so we won!t
be at the mercy of the power companies."
. Ve won't attempt to review the argument ; the
pros and cons are well known. Furthermore, it looks
like the town will. have to operate the plant whether
lit wants to or not, for no new purchaser, has come
.upon the scene.

DE LEGIBUS
Some examples of debateable
laws of North Carolina and other
jurisdictions arc here given and
the opinions of jurists concerning
their validity.
Several years ago a man, charged
with a misdemeanor, was tried in
Macon Superior court and convict
ed by a jury. The defendant did
not go on the stand. Before sen
tence was passed I asked the pre
siding judge, in private conver
sation, the following question:
"Since the. jury was not permitted
to consider the defendant's refusal
to testify in his own behalf as
circumstantial evidence of his guilt,
can you consider it in passing sen
tence ?" He answered : "I can and
will consider' it when I lay sen
tence." The judge's attitude imr
plielTthat Tie'did not approve a law
that ruled out a very convincing
sort of evidence. . :
Another judge, also in private
conversation, said : 1 would like
to see the oath abolished ; it does
no good. Truthful people will tell
the truth without the qualification
of an oath and the untruthful will
disregard it." The opinion of one
who has been long on the bar and
on the bench is worthy of consider
ation.
The next item has no name to
conceal. Judge Sink, presiding at
the August term, 1932, Macon
superior court, said that grand
.munici
e r a t ion ,- nea r 1 evervb wl v seems "ten be
agreed on one point that the rates should be lower
ed. Of course, manv factors enter into this question;
it should be carefullv studied bv experts before a new
rate schedule is put into effect. But any school boy
can see that it is an economic waste to set rates so
high that people can't pay-them ; it is far better-to
sell more power at a low rate than to sell less power
at a high rate.
The Franklin power plant has a large surplus of
current which has been going to waste. The plant
was built with the people's money, or rather their
credit, and the rates should be set so the people can
afford to use the power. We do not presume to
know exactly how much the rates should be lowered;
but certainly they should be reduced to a point where
it would be possible for the average family to have
not only electric lights but also electric stoves and
refrigerators. - ; ' - .
Use the T. F.' Railway
THEInterstate
stated its attitude -on the abandonment of branch
line railroads serving communities which have divert
-J, . . . ,,, , 1 5 "1 T Tu J,..
eu ineir irainc to me dus ana truck lines, in a re
cent decision the commission stated its policy as fol
lows :.. ' . .
"Communities- unabl- to support railroad cannot hitlydemand
its continued operation t a lota in order to maintain the values
of private property within the communities, nor can shipper which
use motor trucks to ship their freight in lieu of rail carriers com
plain if the carriers abandon branch lines due to revenue losses."
In view of this declaration, it behooves every busi
ness man in Macon county to exert his influence to
the end that every possible pound of incoming and
outgoing freight is routed over the Tallulah Falls
railway.
Most of the business men of Franklin signed an
agreement last fall to use the railroad in preference
to trucks. It is an open secret, oiyeyjet that some
fdthem-are-violatim
are a few instances when a business, due to peculiar
circumstances, finds it almost mandatory to have an
order shipped by truck instead of by the railroad
Thereisrior:m
known that a few concerns and individuals, motivated
by selfish interests, are refusing to cooperate with
the movement to give all the business possible to the
"T. F." and thereby stave off its abandonment. Such
individuals and business houses should not be sur
prised if they lose the patronage of public spirited
residents oi tne community.
No Need for Alarm
THE Bank of Franklin faces another crisis, but
'there' isl no cause for depositors to be alarmed
. All deposits in the "new bank," that is, deposits made
since the bank reopened in May, 1931. may be-with-
. drawn in full. There is no restriction, except that
payments will be made in common currency and, sil-
' ver instead of in gold or gold certificates.
The State Banking Department's order, forbidding
the Bank of Franklin to continue operating as a clear
ing house or to do any banking business until it has
' reorganized, came as a surpn se. " Some individuals are
tz:jnclined:to
ed for; but it is comforting to know that the State
Banking Department is taking no chances. The clear
ing house arrangement has functioned very well for
two years; but the fact remains that it constituted
a bank operating without capital.
. The directors and personnel of the "new bank'
deserve only congratulations. Its closing is no re
flection on them. The fact that they conducted such
an institution without the loss of one cent to any de
positor should win- for them new confidence and
strong public support in their efforts to reorganize
the old bank.
our fellowman. The use of a
grand jury is a method to get a
person into court for probable vio
lation of 'law. Nine jufors with
six voting a true bill would meet
the requirements of justice . and
save half the cost. Three hundred
thousand dollars would be a grand
and not a petty saving.
Early in this year a case was
tried in Haywood superior court
in which the prosecuting witness
was a five-year-old girl. The de
fendant was a seventeen-year-old
negro. The case being a serious
one, the court appointed two law
yers to represent the cictenuani.
To make the child's evidence le-
gal and effective she was sworn
as older people are sworn. On
cross examination one of the de
fendant's counsel asked the child
if she knew what it meant to lay
her hand on the Bible and swear,
and if she understood the sanctity
of an oath. To both questions
she answered, "No." . if the de
fendant had been a man of high
social standing the case would
certainly have been appealed to
the Supreme Court and it is any
body's guess what decision that
court would have rendered. I am
myself, somewhat more than five
years old and it is most probable
that my answer as to what are
but that the government shall
seek through the Senate and the
Department of Justice the facts
of financial betrayal and financial
stupidity is the surest way to
bring back once more the confi
dence of the people in the finan
cial institutions of the nation.

President Roosevelt's support of

companies is excellent news. If

There is a finality in the pre
sentation, for those who occupy
the same general position, on the
subject of public education as does
the Governor. For those neither
intellectually convinced of the
necessity of maintaining the schools
unimpaired, nor sentimentally in
clined to that, the message may,
perhaps, be no more than just a
Governor's message.
The document breathes courage.
A brave spirit in a well body is

quite another. He has' spent him
self without stint in such a service
to the State as will not be for
gotten by right thinking men and
women.
He is standing, because he must,
as between a loathed sales tax
"on the one hand and a decent
school on the other" for the school.
As between the road of good faith
p1c 'ged and that "which," to his clear
discerning, leads to shame and dis
honor, he makes his choice. To
keep the pledge of the State for
value received, to carry on the
schools, to preserve the State's investments.--maintain
-the-agencies
of government, he shows (the facts
show) "some form of sales tax, or
other new tax providing substan
tial yield" must be levied.
, Granting that the worst fears
any of us have entertained of the
operation of this untried sales
tax are to be realized, there are
certain compensations that must be
taken.,, into. consideration.,It wbas
"the-virtue of - universal application
and something of relation to abili
ty to pay, if spending has reason

proposed (an adequate new tax
of some sort) taken, property
would immediately be relieved of
the 15 cents school levy all legis
lators are under platform pledge
to that and also of an additional
levy that will average 20 cents, or
35 cents in all. The Governor's
figures show that there would be,
moreover,' according to the whole
plan he presents, a saving of some
millions to the State government
and ibout liven millloni to the

shown in the recent crisis..
Not since the Pujo hearing in
1911 and 1912 has there been any
thorough investigation of the mon
ey power and banking" in Ameri-e&-hdiclcurs
before thai
committee made apparent at that
time the great need to protect the
masses of America from the domi
nance of the Money Power in
New York," and resulted in the
passage of tKei Glass-Owen Cur-"
rency Act, the Clayton Anti-Trust
Act and the creation of the Fede
ral Reserve System.
Since then twenty years have
passed. In the last twelve years a
third of all ,the banks in America
have failed. In the same period
one of the greatest banks of the
country sold, the people a billion
dollars in securities -which have
turned out to be worthless. The
same twelve years, too, has seen
an acceleration in the concentration
of wealth never before equalled.
The management of 200 corpora
tions control today more than half
the- corporate wealth f the nation.
Very definitely many things have
happened since that day over
twenty years ago when the Pujo
committee, after bringing the great
est financiers of the country to
the witness stand, ended its hear
ings. Certainly today there is more
that can be told, a great deal more
that -ought to be told. Those who
counsel a policy of hush in these
time's do not realize that the time
has passed when a fictitious public
confidence can be . created, in
America. The flight of Insull, the
suicide of Kreugar, the admission
of .Mitchell and other disclosures
have done such things to the con
fidence of the American people
in their old financial gods . that
true economic confidence cannot be
fully restored in America until the
truth, is made plain so that the
remedy can be made to fit the
disease.
