January 31, 1933 A Grave Question It is a very sad scene to see a long line of folks matching up to draw Red Cross flour and clothing. The number shows that there is much poverty, some lame, others blind, most of them worthy, some un worthy. Yet the scene is no sadder than the thought that\it 15 going to be worse with them. The government can only go so far; then it will not be able to carry the non-producer forever In fact, it is borrowing the mon ey it is now giving out. What will become of that element of j>eople that nobody will hire and nobody will house is a grave question. Yet there are thousands who have dropped so low that no man will furnsih them houses to live in 6r land to tend. . it not be cheaper for our government to rent land and take all the people who do not know how, and those who are unwilling to work, and co'on ize them on farms, with competent >ui*rintendenl; to work them in the production of food crops for them selves rather than to let them idle around, make noth ing, and have to be fed and clothed by charity? There are not enough people at work to feed those who do not work The government can easily take a hundred acre farm and feed 100 people the year around, which would be good for both the poor and the government,. Keep Children in Schools It is cheaper to keep, children in school than it is to let them run wild in town. Farmers are already mailing more than they can >ell. We are also already loafing too niuih. Keep the child in school. Make him work more. Teach him that this life is for serv ice and not one long easy season of play and work dodging. " "i We have been raising a generation of loafers tie cause we thought we wolild be able to feed, clothe, and , let them have all the money they wanted to throw away. Now that we see we have utterly failed in our expectations, it is time to work all the children in school, and when out of school work them on the. farm, in the kitchen, and any, place else where there is work to do. This is the nearest way out of our dilem ma. -. /—»>»'• • ihrt dort t cut the(- schoo 1 s. — -i **■ ' " ' " Too Much Centralization According to what we hear from Raleigh, our State government is in worse shape than most counties. Yet they are so gluttonous for. power that they want to take over and usurp all the j>ower of the schools, the counties, and the town. No country has made a faster run from a true dem ocracy to an autocracy than has our own state, which is one of the main reasons why we are hearing so many accusations by the several departmental heads at Ra leigh. Do not consolidate and let one dominate the entire governmental structure, because you can not find any one man with enough sense and honor to in sure good government. Bad Time To Buy Railroads ( - There was a time when the Government should S have taken over the railroads. That was when they were making money, dominating traffic, and, to a large pxtent, influencing (government. since they have lost out to trucks and busses, and are wal lowing in the valleys of depression, they seem to be nestling up under the governmental wings and whis king, "Buy us." Well, now is a bad time for either the government or individuals to buy railroads. The fact is that rail roads have lost their earning power, and the big slump in values places them alongside of the houses and land of the country —the more of them a man has the poorer he is. It is a sad day for the investor in both railroad stocks and farm property. No Depression There The Union Herald Ambassador Mellon 's Pittsburg bank has just de dared a dividend of 200 per cent, while more than 11,000,000 go jobless. Melons for the Melloni, it seems. ; . .. . * j» PUBLISHED IVIHY TUESDAY AND rWIPAV Henry Ford's Troubles Are the banking and money trusts of the country going to be able to crush Henry Ford? There is scarcely a doubt but that such a motive is at the bottom of the trouble which forced Ford to shut down all his factories on account of a short age of bodies, the latter being made by a factory fav orable to other automobile manufacturers. Combinations of money kings are not only stifling the production of the farm and laborer, but they go further and push their own production up to where it is profitable. We would like to see a real automobile price war, and see the cost of about 2,500 pounds of iron and steel, plus a small quantity of cheap cloth, wood and rubber reduced from S6OO to about S3OO. At present the ordinary car is selling at around 25 cents a pound, which is a pretty high high price for steel with ths present methods of refining and shaping. I,et such a war rage on, and let the government prosecute any combination that attempts to stifle com petition. The Present Crisis Scotland Neck Commowwealth Public-spirited people of North Carolina do not want our legislators to further curtail the budget of the State's educational system. If we are far-sighted enough we can see that another cut in the budget would not only rob the children of today of their birth- j right of education, but it would endanger the future citizenship of our commonwealth. A distinguished American financier contends that "next to feeding and clothing our children and our selves, our obligation is to train and discipline our children so that they may not only render the great est service to their generation, but obtain the maxi mum happiness for themselves." Can sane-minded people suggest a plan for fulfill ing this obligation to our boys and girls if our school systems are to be crippled on account of curtailed funds? , To dramatically testify to this State the desire of our people to halt a run on the schools, a group of representative citizens has called a mass meeting of the people of the State to be held in Raleigh next Tuesday at 2:30 o'clock. Several thousand persons have already promised to be there. Here is a challenge for the citizens of North Caro lina to demonstrate to the lawmakers that our young people deserve a rich heritage in educational advan tages. Let it not be said of the Old North State that she is too poor now to adequately support her long-fought for and heard-earned educational system. May We Have Economy Minus All The Frills? Hertjord County llcrald. When we waltzed, danced, and tangoed with the Stars, as the late Governor Bickett once said, we sel dom if ever stopped to question, "What is the price? Men traded and bartered in every conceivable com modity, real etsate included, with the one thought in mind: To pass it on at a profit. We lost our sense of values, to l>e sure; and some of us of this generation will spend many woeful days and nights as the result of our following the mob with never a thought of our own. Rather than thinking through, we blindly fol lowed; and the use of the word "we" is taken here to mean an overwhelming percentage of the population. The readjustment j>eriod coming; it has come. ,The swing around the circle is in the opposite direc tion. It finds many of the same people still ready, eager, and actively following blindly where the mob leads. Evidence of it is plentiful. The word over worked now is "reduction," and its companion word, "slash." The two words are often and generally mistaken for economy, an entirely different sort of thing. ;We can practice economy in "tangoing" times as we can in "slashing'' times. The difference is that it re quires a little thinking through to effect economy, while any person—even the rankest of the mob—may tango, may reduce, or may slash. What we are getting at is this: There is entirely too much emphasis placed on reducing and slashing and too little on what is the economical thing to do, not for this hour but for the future hours, days, months and years. Reduce, yes; but divorce the polit ical ballyhoo from every single act, public or private, Jooking to effecting economy in government and econ omy in private business. Just because an officeholder loudly proclaims himself in iavor of reductions and slashing, and abolishment even, or that some business man reduces and chops off, isn't any occasion for pro claiming him or them the people's savior, or the wisest of men. Reducing, slashing, and abolishment isn't ever and anon economy nor good business sense. It may be anything but good business sense. , Therefore, before you elevate the reducer, the slash er, or the abolisher to the pinnacle of popularity, do a little thinking of your own. Unlighted Wagons" Beaufort News Several persons have been killed in North Carolina recently by being struck by cars while riding in wag ons or carts. Probably in most cases these accidents were due to the fact that those in the wagons did not take the trouble to carry a lighted lantern with them. Such carelessness is inexcusable but is quite common. Any day along about dusk motorists are apt to see one or more of these unlighted wagons and sometimes they are not seen until it is too late. Those on the wagons have been working in the fields or somewhere else and are on their way home—or it may be the cemetery.
