Tuesday, January 19, 1932 Poverty At One End—Riches At Other The R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company made two million dollars more last year than they did in 1930. North Carolina tobacco farmers made twenty-nine million dollars less/^J^- There are hundreds of thousands of tobacco farm ers who are losing their homes because they did not get half price for their tobacco,-while the. Reynolds company has j>aid all taxes, all salaries to all workers —whether in factory or in politics—and have laid aside $36,000,000 clear profit. Something is decidedly wrong with a system that permits the producer of raw materials to starve, while the manufacturer of the same product grows gor geously rich. Incidentally, it would be interesting to know how many pounds of tobacco the Reynolds company used in 1931 and just how many dollars they paid for it. Garner for President We believe John Nance Garner to be the best Demi ocratic presidential possibility yet suggest. People generally like both Franklin U. Roosevelt and Newton D. Baker. They regard them as able men and apparently wotild be willing to support either of them for president. Yet there is absolutely no enthusiasm in this section for either. Speaker Garru'r is the man who can kindle the fire of enthusiasm and unify the Democratic ranks from Canada to Mexico. The fact that he hails from Texas is not against him. A Texan can carry more states than a New Yorker. Garner, in the point of ibility, certainly measures up with any other candidate on the slate; and the question as to whether a man is from the north, south, tast, or west has never be;n of less irnj>ortance than at this time. Democrats will do well to sound the battle cry, "Garner for President." The Course of a Wise Man No man can grow richer in this life than Associate Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes has attained in his 91 years of life and his constant service to mankind. In retiring from the Supreme Court of the United State, all honest men of all parties bow a tribute of honor to him. He chose the course of a wise man, and his works will stand. ***** fc MONMM but fomtts j§ggg»j3l 10CKTI& \N JWI i M vMAft&iE scitwmc ft*™ HISmI o\tb shorts fcmti FROM THt HMtOSmP* tHCOvmttt&O IMb WHI% \H fc HOOtt w fcUWA IHT\*UX 0*- * m OVIA. ptffcvfitb WOOD KHD MH OMdPfcfUMU, **** cqnucnoucsC* RtCdVtaa \H U*t , COUJtCTEO fftOW unkinftyj * ** oHttWsrwn I of TW* > * mo ° w ODD-BUT TRUE Who's Holding Best End of the Rope? Just who has the best end of the rope, the bad lord or the tenant? is a question much discussed, but so far has not been settled by unanimous verdict. • The last issue of the University News Letter argues that the tenant has the best end of the rope. Yet, the paper fails to offer satisfactory proof supporting its statement. The News Letter mentions high taxes, repairs, fuel furnished, free schools, free bus rides to school as favors furnished the tenant by the landlord. And that is all true, but the tenant has a side. He says the man is as great as the land, and but for the man the land would produce nothing. The landlord would have to pay the taxes just the same, that the school tax the landlord pays would not amount to one dollar an acre. The tenant charges that the landlord buys mules cheaper now than at any time during the past twenty years, that he buys fertilizer chea|K*r than in 30 years past, that the farm upkeep is much lower than in the good old days of farm fences, and for these reasons the landlord's half only costs a little more than it did in former days. The tenant claims that in good times, the landloard makes big profits, that the landowner may have a hard task making ends meet in hard times, but the tenants also claims that he is not responsible for low prices. The tenant also says that when the landlord is finding it difficult to pay taxes and meet farm expenses, he and his family are Retting barely enough to eat and are going in rags. The tenant further points out that (he future holds very little promise for him, that while the landlord has at least a chance to rise, he and his family are gradually but surely drifting to ward economic slavery; that there is sure to be a wide gap and a deep chasm between the standard of living followed by the landlord and the tenant. Evidently when things are normal farming rules between landlord and tenant are about as fair as they can be, but when there is a wide range of prices, the rules often get out of balance. One of the most essential things under our tenant system is more fair play with common honesty ruling as to lanlord and tenant. A closer cooperation be tween the two is necessary and each should look well to the interest of the other. Too many land lords fail to assist or even advise their tenants in the better way of taking care of themselves and their families. And then the tenant must exercise more care in handling the landlord's team, tools, crops and other entrusted to him. Every landlord should provide proper gardens and feed patches for the tenants and his chickens cows and pigs. The old rule under which the landlord has tried to make money without considering the interest of the tenant, and the tenant trying to get all the pos sibly good without looking to the interest of the land lord has about whipped both sides. The rule must be changed. . . Economy Must Be Watchword The biggest relief measure ever undertaken by any nation is about to be passed by Congress. The type of service it renders will extend to many clasess of citizens and to various business interests. The bill wilt doubtless pass without trouble, as the president and both political parties are practically solidly be hind it. It is thought that it will help busing very materially, as it will give new hope and inspire con fidence. However, the people should understand that it is for the pur|wse of helping us out of trouble and not intended to spur us on in extravagance and waste. We say lots of things about balanced budgets, and the relief promised is more for the purpose of hold ing things in abeyance until we can catch up, rather than to put us further in debt. In the end, the only thing that is going to even us up is what we do for ourselves. That is, we must make more and spend less until both sides level themselves. It makes no difference who helps us or how much they help us—Economy must be the watchword. THE ENTERPRISE NOTICE OP SALE By virtue of the power of sale con tained in the deed of tract frem James C.
