Tuesday, March 26, 1929 Going Down the Hill Education is the fundamental basis of human so ciety and government It began in the home; at first when the mother the child to walk in safer paths and to pro duce the things of life more easily than she. All jof the exjierience of one generation is handed down to the next until we are now using the experience of our forefathers of thousands of years past. Seeing the advantage of education our nation and States have organized to extend a system of educa tion to all the people. This was, of course, done in the belief that an educated people are happier peo ple and better able to support and maintain a stable government than an ignorant |>eople. It now begins to look like we are meeting two fear ful tragedies. One is the failure to educate in the home; the otlier is in the state. It can scarcely be denied that the home has already failed. Every indication now' points to the fact that where the old-time mother taught the child the vir tues of life, such as truth, honesty, virtue, and all other things that build character, now she is grap pling with new problems, such as the rustling of her children into a modern society—a type of society that is, in a large measure, disregarding the fine* principles upon which the foundations of high char : acter is built. We are putting foremost the things that finally make flappers and convicts. Nothing could, be more serious than the conditions that young men—mere ing the truth, and they doubtless are. Now, as to what the state is going to do is' an cther serious question. The trend of things in this State during the recent session of the legislature seemed to be just cause for alarm.

' . iA.-, «« « * ~ cia.l affairs in our State are opposed to being taxed to support an adequate system of education for the people at large: and in the fight to improve the school opportunities in the State at the expense of the State's wealth, the people failed and wealth won. The law which purported to mean the improvement of the schools on a fair basis of equalized cost will evidently destroy, to some extent, the efficiency of the schools. It is doubtless a deliberate step toward crippling the schools. Wealth has always feared knowledge, especially the enlightenment of ifs subjects. The more ignorant the factory wprker, the easier to dic tate to him, and the lower his wage, The general substance of the new law means a larg er equalization fund, which will come out of wealth, a lower county tax, fewer teachers, and no improve ment In teacher gracing, no increase in length of term. In case a 30-cent tax on land does not produce a 6-months term, then a Raleigh equalization board may taise the land tax s o that it will produce enough. Education, has been our boast; but if we are not going down ihe hill, both at the home and in school, then things are not just what they seem. The new peanut tariff has not affected the price of peanuts to any appreciable degree* This is main- ly because a majority of the American-grown peanuts are not in the same class with the Oriental peanuts. Those farmers who expect to get the greatest ben efit from the tariff must supply the tyj»e of |>eanuts that Japan and China have been supplying. We arc apparently growing plenty of the small types of pea nuts, and we are permitting our large jumlws and bunch types to mildew in the field.- Some of the largest of the [K*anut dealers are ad vising farmers to grow larger-kerneled nuts, such as the American trade has been getting from the foreign markets. I.ast year about 1,000,000 bags of this type of jieanuts came to America under a 3-cent tariff. This year they will have to pay 4 1-2 cents. 'I he farmer who makes very careful sffd selection, limes his land well, and plants far enough apart to permit a good growth of full-size kernels will get the benefit of the tariff. On the other hand, the farmer who pays no attention to size and quality of his peanuts will get very little out of it, because the supply of poor |»ea nuts is generally filled by |>eas grown here and are not so much affected by the tariff. Not Interested in Tammany Squabbles Will Rogers did not only hit the keynote hut he played a whole bras;, band when he said the |»eople of the United States were not interested in that Tam many Hall light now going on in New V'ork. Will says the Headers are mad because Al Smith appointed Republicans to office while he was governor, and Al retaliates by saying that Tammany Democrats voted Republican when he was running for President. Will is dead right. The ar«r nyt interested in Tammany. Nor should they be, except to see that it does not get them in its grip.
