C., „ Mcond-ciass matter under the act of Congress of March 3. 1879. Address ail communications to The Enterprise and not to the individual members of the nrm. Friday, May 26, 1933 Can Not Serve Two Masters The Secretary of the Treasury is quoted as say ing that if his being in the Cabinet is embarrassing to the President he will resign. Of course, we have no knowledge of how his pres ence in the Cabinet is affecting the President. How ever, we believe that the information coming out of the Morgan investigation should so embarrass Mr. Woodin that he should resign, take his hat, and slip out of the back door. For certainly everybody knows that his affiliatiin and friendship for Morgan and Mor gan's very vicious method of buying up politicians and prospective office-holders is calculated to raise a question of his Illness in the minds of the j)eople in general. After Mr. \\oodin accepted Morgans favors, he is totally unfit to represent the |**ople. He belongs to Morgan. He is now between two trying ordeals: One the expression of gratitude and service toward Mr. Morgan; the other is to practice decep tion upon the |>eople whom he is exacted to protect and serve. No man can serve two masters. The question is Who is Woodin's master Morgan, to whom he is un der obligations; or the people, whom he has sworn to serve? Resign? Yes; of course. Carter Glass Changes There is a large degree of sadness felt when a man turns from the paths of truth and honesty, and for that reason friends of Senator Carter Glass are be ginning to feel that the old man is becoming feeble minded in that he has turned his affections from the true and honest people to the money-grubbing gods. Virginia is one state that should have a referen dum and recall provision in her constitution, in order that they might recall Carter Glass from the United States Senate and fill his place with some man who loves Virginia as much as he does New York money grabbing Morgans. Court Costs Still Too High The last legislature took the matter of the employ ment and salary of court' stenographers out of the hands of the various boards of county commissioners and placed it in the hands of the resident judges of their respective districts. • \ This is one of the acts that shot through the As sembly along toward the end of the session, when not so much attention was paid to many bills. So far as the matter of who is to appoint or em ploy court stenographers goes, we suppose the judges may know better who is best qualified for the posi tion. The question of pay is also left entirely with the judge, who may fix the salary at $25, SSO, or SIOO week, with or without expenses. County boards of commissioners, who have to pro tect scanty and often bankrupt treasuries, are more concerned about economies than judges frequently are, and they have felt for years that courts have been too extravagant in paying court stenographers for a few hours' work in taking court proceedings. Very little reduction can be found in the costs of operating our courts. The salary of the judges is still up; the salary of the stenographer has suffered little reduction; about the only fellow that has suf fered very much of a dig is the juror and the witness— the two fellows that are liable to go to jail if they are not promptly on time. Pou vs. Jeffress There seems to be lots of political fishing going on around Raleigh these days and nights. The main tilt is evidently between George Ross Pou and E. B. Jeffreys. The recent session of the legislature con solidated their jobs, and somebody is going to have to get out. Personally, we are not in the fight. Yet we have heard a lot about the penitentiary costing the state fabulous sums, and that the penitentiary has been more successful in politics than in the feeding and clothing of prisoners. So far, the road proposition has come in for far less criticism than has the penitentiary. But why should the state tie- itself to any one or two men indefinitely. There are thousands of pretty bright fellows in the , J**t u well as either ha* been handled in the pest. Wall Street Still Leads Wail Street still holds the baimer when it comes to skinning folks. Monte Carlo has used all the schemes that are known in gambling circles; CMeago has used the machine gun; but Wall Street has gone further—they have used methods that have destroyed men overnight; methods that they call legitimate bus iness dealings: and they have forced themselves on the public as benefactors of business and society. They have been wolves all the time, trying to wear sheep's clothing. They are even worse than the New York or Chicago gangsters, because the gangsters come to you as an enemy—you are not deceived—while the Morgans, Mitchells, Meyers, and their ilk come to you as friends and rob you. The meanest kind of robber is the fellow who poses as a friend and stabs you in the back. We still believe Morgan and Company have the lead over all the other fellows. Their super-sharp deals have sent so many business men to bankruptcy that they have thousands of suicides to their credit. i As To National Assets Washington Daily News. Describing the private banker as a "national asset" before the Senate Investigating Committee yesterday, J. P. Moganr, made this observation as to the business practices and professional ethics of his own banking house: "We have never been satisfied with merely keeping within the law, but have constantly sought so to act that we might fully observe the professional code, and so maintain the credit and reputation which has been handed down to us from our predecessors in the firm." A little later, during the course of his examination l>efore the Committee, Mr. Morgan admtited that he had paid no income tax for the years of 1930, 1931, or 1932. It also was developed during the day that the banking house of J. P. Morgan and Company, of which Mr. Morgan is senior partner, "took losses" of $21,071,862.94 in preparing an income tax return for 1931, although the losses were not actually sus tained in the two-day period for which the deduc tions were claimed. In other words, the House of Morgan seems to have been as adroit as was Charles E. Mitchell, and presumably as were scores of other leaders in the world of finance, in juggling figures so as to avoid paying taxes. Does anybody believe that a man of the wealth of J. P. Morgan actually had no net taxable income of any kind from any source during the years 1930, 1931, and 1932? The very suggestion is preposterous. Yet he paid no tax and calmly tells a committee of the United States Senate that he had no taxable income. A great deal has been said and written about "soak ing the rich" in this country. We have been led to believe that a handful of wealthy men are now and have been carrying the burden of Federal taxation for the rest of us. And yet we learn now that one of the world's richest men has paid no income tax at all for three years. If men and firms of this character are the sort of ""assets" the country has been dependent upon, no wonder the Nation is in a state of financial and moral collapse. Let's Know the Facts Greenville Reflector. In a letter made public today, Judge Henry A. Grady goes after the scalp of the local telephone com pany (Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Co.) in no unmistakable terms, as a result of what he deems overcharges on toll messages. "I do strenuously ob ject to being held up and robbed in broad daylight," the judge's letter declared. •••■> While Judge Grady's kick against the local com pany is one pf. the first to have been made in such a public way, we are aware that there seems to be an increasing desire on the part of the public here for an investigation into the affairs of the company, es pecially as to the rate structure, and based upon this w£ recently urged through these columns the instiga tion of such a hearing by the State Commission. As previously stated, if the telephone company has nothing to hide they should welcome the investiga tion in order to put a stop to what might be unfound ed kicks and rfomors. If, on the other harfd, the pub lic is not getting a square deal, certainly the investi gation would bring same to light. As the matter now stands, either the public is suffering at the hands of the telephone company, or the telephone company is suffering at the hands of unwarranted kicks and rum ors from the public. A thorough investigation would tend to greatly clarify the situation. A Real Memorial Bo ton Post. One of the best memorials ever devised is that giv en in th" name of Caesar Cone, who died some years ago after |,a career in manufacturing in Greensboro, N. C . Starting in a small way, Cone prospered, and eventually, with the aid of a brother, founded the lext'le bank for the savings of his employees. After his death, the bank was absorbed by the North Caro lina Bank and Trust Company. Before the bank holiday, the North Carolina Bank and Trust Com pany closed. Recently, on the doors of the bank's Textile branch, appeared a notice: "As a tribute to his memory, the family of Caesar Cone have decided to see that all depositors in the Textile bank, and its successor, the lextile branch, shall receive full payment of the bal ances to which they are entitled." The pledge will cost the family about $300,000, but it will save untold misery among th« depositors. That is a memorial bet ter than any. statue or endowment.
