Tuesday, March 15, 1932 Stringent Laws Needed Too many policemen and too many gangsters have been working on the Lindbergh kidnaping case. Of course no one can blame the Lindberghs for ac cepting the help of every one, however. To begin with, title abductors were gangsters. They are now in fear of the police, and no body can tell just how many times the gangsters will doublecross Lindbergh. If everybody would leave, then the ab ductors might get in personal touch with the child's parents, get the reward and deliver the baby. What we need is more stringent laws and their thorough execution, and then we will have less crime. Railroad Swallows Competition Railroad swallows competition and strengthens its monoply. Recently the Virginia Beach Bus Line and the connecting company passed into the hands of the Norfolk Southern Railroad Company, meaning that competition is destroyed and that the people are helpless to defend themselves. It is strange that the railroads were unable to han dle their own business, but now find themselves able to monopolize their competitors. And now the rail roads are to hog the highway passenger traffic. And it will be only a short time before they will destroy the freight truck service and become king of the highway. Under the laws, ope railroad cannot buy or oper ate a competing railroad line, but they can smash private competition at will and nothing is said. It seems as if everything that is helpful to the pub lic but in competition with the financial giants, is soon swallowed. . The Literary Digest Poll '* So far the Literary Digest vote is hot doing much. Only about 10 per cent of the ballots have been re turned. And, so far, the votes returned have shown a large wet majority, which is, of course, perfectly natural. The folks who want a change are working and voting for a change, while those who desire no change are throwing the ballots away. The folks who are keeping the country going, generally, seemed not to vote. There is much said against the liquor law, but not very much is done. The reason is that nobody can, offer a better thing to take its place. Certainly, the opening up of floods of liquor by legal processes would be of no help. Such a step would only lower our standard of civilizatoin—by subscribing to a law that looses satan on the highways of society. •Save Democracy Frank D. Grist, United States Senate aspirant, may never get in sight of the Washington monument in the capital city, but he utters a truth when he says we ought to save Democracy. We are giving so much attention to seeking office for ourselves and special favors for our friends that we forget the words of Jefferson and Jackson, and act as if we never heard of Vance. Politics has he come to be more of a ring-side party than of a so ciety of citizens standing out for principles of govern ment that benefit and protect us alf. It is young Democrat here and old Democrat there, and Democracy, in its pure analysis, no where. De mocracy must stand for those things that are honest and helpful to all of us, and not to a selected few. « * Railroads First t*' ——~ r • The railroads were seated at the first table of the Billion Dollar Reconstruction Feast. They had ->*othing to do but hold out their hands and pull in . the cash. The fanners have been promised something some time. They are promised less than one-twentieth of the huge sum, although one-third of the American citizenship it farmers. And if the farmers wiH only be patient, they wM get something after everything is picked over. When the big gang get the $950,- 000,000, of course they will be at ease, and the $50,- OOOyOOO that the fanners get will be of some help. It is jost another case where agriculture does not get S fair share of governmental «Ij4 "• ' '' - > WILiaHtO tVMY TUMPAV AND miPAY Agreeing To Abolish Property Tax The politicians are being driven to the plan of abolishing all property tax for State purposes. Ev erybody is falling for that idea, and in so doing they and the fight is going to narrow down to the point of whether wealth or poverty is going to pay it. A sales tax is going to be the rnajor proposition presented by wealth, while incomes and franchises will be the idea of the poor. The sales tax advocates will fight a luxury tax because the luxuries are all made by combinations, ami they will be on the ground with their lobbyists. If the useless luxuries, such as coca colas and cig arettes, could be charged up at a much higher rate than flour, shoes and the many other articles that people do need, the tax situation would be decidedly better for everyone. Of course the old cry of taking the poor man's pleasure away from him will be sung far and wide, and it will have its effect, too. It is about time, however, for the people to look with reason on the tax question, and tax the things we don't need heavily, and tax exerything else ac cording to its income. Anti-Waste Law Is Needed The newspapers are saying lots about the need of an anti-hoarding law. We have no objection to such a law, but the thing we really need is an anti-wasting law. Wasting has been our Waterloo. In most cases the only hoarded money in this country is the very money the rest of us have wasted- What we need to do is for each individual to pass good honest resolutions within himself to stop throwing away every cent he can possibly spare. If we will all stop moping around, go to work, and quit throwing away everything we can get our hands on for pleasures that make us no better, no stronger tomorrow, it will not be long before times will be a whole lot better. The Rate of Interest News and OWierver. It is somewhat singular in these days when the gov ernment is in big business up to its eyes and is sell ing government securities at around 3 per cent that there has been no depreciation in the rate of inter est. Indeed, the rate of interest, while not increased by public proclamation, has increased all the tithe. The very time when money should be cheaper and credit easier, since Uncle Sam is loaning money by the millions to banks and railroads, credit is not easy and when it is obtained, of interest is so high industries and businesses it and make money. The fact that the State of North Carolna was com pelled on its recent loan to pay 6 per cent interest and is expecting to have to pay that much on the loan it will shortly secure, is only one evidence of the trend. If the money lenders feel that North Carolina i& deserving of credit, there is no reason in the world why a State, which a little while ago was borrowing money at less than 4 per cent, should be charged 6 per cent, except that the banks and others having large sums are taking advantage of present conditions to practice extortion. In an interview in yesterday's News and Observer, George Ross, of the v State Department of Agriculture, who has recently been to Washington i>to confer with the Department and Secretary of Agriculture about making available $10,000,000 as a revolving fund for establishing agricultural credit, says: "The rate of interest wil be 8 per cent for loans to farmers." He trufy says that it will be better to pay 8 per cent than to buy fertilizer on credit at time prices, but if the government is lending $2,000,000,000 to big banks and railroads at a much lower rate, why should the farmers have to pay 8 per cent for the loans they are to obtain? The rate of interest should gb down. An Opportunity for Loyalty Minnesota Press. Community loyalty in times of plenty is much re garded as thought for idealists to play with. In times of economic stress it is recognized as an es sential factor in self-preservation. When incomes are on the upgrade and the'public buying power is strong every one is free to exercise desires and prejudices in bestowing patronage, and the average business in any community gets along under the aded volume with out much stress on the matter of mutual interests. When incomes are curtailed and buying power drops to to the minimum there comes a serious struggle for survival, even among the fittest, and it comes home again that all have great dependence on those who live, spend, buy and sell, next door to us. Whether you like your neighbor or not, you have much in common with him, and if you both fail to realize it, you are both going to suffer. That fact holds true in good times and bad, year in and year out. The results of failure to be loyal to community institutions come to light most graphically in times of stress, but benefits would be proportionately great if the practice would endure through the more in dependent stretches in life. i The closing of any business institution is a com munity calamity. Men are thrown out of work, their income* stop, they can not buy. They are forced either to leave the community or • become public charges. The taxes paid by the live institution dis appear from the lists, and the proportionate tax on those remaining goes higher, while potential incomes are lowered. It all goes around in a disappointing and depressing circle. ; It is time to consider the point of community loy alty very seriously; to take inventory; to discover the points where even the mo»t loyal could bring •till greater benefit to themselves.
