November 23, 1928 Extra-Session Talk Talk of an extri session of Congress seems to be strong. But, honestly, we can't see much use in it. There seem? to lie just two things demanded; one is the demand of the tfcrmer for help; the other the de mand of the manufacturer for help. That is to say, the farmer wants passed by Congress to pa)' him a good price for his crops; and the manufacturer wants a law guaranteeing a good price for his products. These things very hard to accomplish with out injury to some one., If the farmer gets a Jxi gif price for his wheat the laborer will have to pay a big price for his bread; and if the manufacturer gets a big profit for his goods, the consumer will have to pay it. What the country needs most is a better system of protecting the weak The farmer, for instance, is not K> much in need of a law to raise the {jrice of his goods as he is to have a guard to keep the sharks off of him. The tariff law has, without doubt, built more great trusts than any other one law ever passed by the American Congress. It may have helped America in dealing with other nations, but it has built gigantic fortunes and depressed agriculture until now agricul ture is under the dominion of the tariff-protected trusts. The cry for legal help by the agricultural and laboring people does not properly mean help, but it means protection .from unfair dealers who know how to manipulate the markets and take the products of their labor at a low and unreasonable base. If Congress does hold an extra session anjl pass some kind of farm relief bill and at the same time places a high tariff on everything the farmer buys which is to go to those already walthy, it is doubtful if it be of any lasting benefit. What Congress needs to do is to hold the big com binations down so they will not be able to swallow up all the smaller industries. And there never was « time when such a law was so badly needed.

QUINN & COMPANY - Washington, N. C. Stewart Verdict No Surprise It must.be a treat to be a juror in the t'nrted SUtes District CMfftlß the District of Columbia. They have ; the opportunity of getting acquainted with the big | criminals and many of the oil kings. These jurors are not being accused of any wrong in clearing the millionaire oil kjng Stewart, and every- I body expected them to do exactly what they did. Still almost everybody feels fully confident that they freed a guilty man. ' i The trouble about such cases is that there is too much money in them. Arid men with money usually | find a way to escape punishment. They find four ( places that money has a possible chance to help them. | First, of course, is the witness; enough money has i had the power to refresh his recollection or caused him I to forget. And it sometimes so happens that a juror | gets too close to a man with the dough. Another I way that it is possible for the rich to use money is j through the solicitor's.office. And while it is a very | rare possibility, yet it may be possible for money to ! even reach the bench; pot, of course, under direct ! contract; but there are all manner of friendships built j tip in long trials where there is great wealth con j nected. * Certainly, the verdict of the jury acquitting Smw j art was no surprise to the people. County Road System Is Needed I I The Martin County road problem is not yet solved; \ and it is doubtful if it can be by the methods now fol | lowed by the small township units instead of by a | county unit. ~J As it now is, most of the work being done g6uld be properly called patchwork, some of which amounts to very little value. By a county-wide system, better machinery could be introduced, and the chances are that more efficient help could be procured than can 1 be done when working on a small scale. As things now stand, nine townships are collect ing $37,100.63 annually, not including Rvbersnnville, I which would carry the amount above $40,000. now collecting and sending about $75 for j eaeh mile of ruad in the county, OB an average; an amount entirely too small to build roads, but with 1 projjer machinery they could be improved and kept | in fair order in good weather, even with that small sum. It would lie a pretty good plan to let the people of the county ask the legislature to change the-sys- j tern from the township plan to a county unit. We ■ will have to make some change if we ever get a de cent system of county rtjads, which in many places are now growing worse instead of better. Present-Day Literature Are we reading the right kind of literature? In this novel day, we have a wonderful variety of read,- i ing matter, and our |>eople are reading on every' i ject, with possibly one exception, the Bible, which is one of the most neglected Ixioks today. Less than 10' |>er cent of the people average reading one chap ter per month; and yet we feel that we are wise as to ! the creation ami the jiaths of duty, one toward an other, and our duty to the Creator. We are reading the literature that gives us fun, and we are apparently not so much concerned about facts. It is, in common with other matters educational, a bulwark upon which to build true citizenship, social life, civic pride, and everythng that goes to the bet terment of mankind. — Afichigun Library Bulletin.
