Friday, August 18, 1933 We Return To The Spoils System There was a day when victory crowned itself with the head of its adversary. That was the day of sav agery Later came the slogan that to the "victor be longs the spoils." That was the day of brute force and selfishness. Neither of these systems were sat isfactory to an enlightened Christian age.' And gov ernments began a system of selecting the best and most capable man for the job. That was called civil service in this country. Now something new has struck North Carolina poli tics which goes a bow-shot further than anything we have had thus far. The main qualification for of in this state now is not only what party do you be long to, but were yuu for or against me in the party primary? Not whether you have shown accuracy in figures, honesty in purpose, or righteousness in judg ment, but did you vote for me in the primary? If so, you hold your job; but if you voted for the other fellow, even though he be a Democrat, you get out. This is a system of extreme selfishness, and one that is going to cause a Hare-up in the face of somebody some day. It may lie that Roosevelt prosperity will keep- the eyes of the average North Carolinian off of our own state government until a few folks build up a ma chine that they think will work in all kinds of wind and all kinds of weather. Yet they may find moun tains of difficulty ahead. There are plenty of people in this state who know something about the lobby rooms and dictators' halls around the city of Raleigh. And, thank to the public schools, we have more peo ple thinking, seeing, and doing than we did in the days of old and the army of officeholders is not go ing to be large as the outsiders. One thing is almost certain to take place in future elections. That is every officeholder is going to be told how to vote or shown the door if he refuses. Office monopoly, like money monopoly, is danger ous to liberty. Deserves No Consideration We are glad to see Mr. Roosevelt buck the Steel Trust- What he needs to, and should, do is to dis solve the Steel Trust and all of its subsidiaries. It has been built up on false and excessive charges against the public. It has manipulated government and dominated business on a basis of dishonest op erations. It needs to be squeezed until it gives up to the public all that it has looted from them, after which it will not be large enough to dominate any body. This body's activities and maneuvers have been too base and dishonest to In* given the consideration which honest men and institutions deserve. The Whole Truth Where martyl witnesses in court actions lie is by not telling the whole truth. Doubtless a majority of witnesses who take the oath to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth are perfectly willing to tell nothing but the truth, yet many are Unwilling to tell the whole truth. Men usually like to tell of the good for their friends and leave off the bad, while they just want to reverse this order in the case of. their enemies. Such swearing as this is what has largely prevailed in the hearings at Wash ington, where Mr. Morgan and his associates dodged so many questions and sought so persistently to show up their best side to the country. When men are willing to comply with that part of the oath, "to tell the whole truth," the folks will hear a lot more things and conditions will not look the same. Why? Why is kidnapping and racketeering increasing so rapidly? It can't be that it it because beer has been legalized, because when alcohol is legalized all crime will cease, according to the alcohol advocates. More Convictions Needed We still set a few slot machines here and there at places where men are so anxious to make money that Ifctjr will do anything to get it. Perhaps there is no type of gambling worse than the slot machine,' because it is so constructed that it beats everybody and it is especially appealing to children. convictions and greater punishment are the things for the slot machine man. May Be Like Tramp Sampson Independent Frank Myers, the Grand Rapids, Mich., man, who wrote The New Outlook to the effect that he has been looking for a job since he came out of college with a mining engineer's degree twenty-five years ago and has IKH yet succeeded in landing one, must be hard to suit. Or it. may be that he is like the tramp who stated he was looking for a job, but all the while was praying that he would not find it. Myers states that the nearest he ever came to se curing regular gainful employment was when he ap plied for admission to the army in 1918. He was accepted and was ordered to report for duty on No vember IS, 1918, and lo and behold, the Armistice was signed just four days too soon. Since that time, he says, he has been open to offers and still is, but adds that no job has been open to him. It is an admitted fact that thousands of people who really wanted to work, and needed to work, have been unable to secure employment during the last few years. We truly hope the day is not far distant when all who want to work will be able to find it, and at "living" wages; but when that time arrives, there will still be plenty of people without jobs—because they don't want them. More Will Benefit Sampson Independent The most encouraging thing about the opening of the tobacco markets this year is the fact that the common, or poorer, grades of the "weed" are bring ing a much higher price than for several years past. A large majority of the tobacco growers produce to bacco of that tyjje, and higher prices for the common grades will mean much more to the growers than a higher price for the better grades. Then, too, the better gradls of tobacco always demand a fair price. Our observation in visiting sales on the Border markets was that trashy tobacco that for the last few years has sold for around 1 cent per pound is selling this year for from 4 to 6 cents. There is a decided advance in prices of all the poorer grades, and that will serve, if they hold out, to increase the average for this year's crop The prevailing prices couldn't be classed as "high," compared with those paid dur ing and immediately following the World War, but •they show a great improvement over the last three years. Contrary Guldsboro Transcript and Messenger Adjustments of both debts and tariffs must l>e made by the United States with foreign countries "if we want to sell farm products abroad in somewhat near the old quantities." So declared Henry A. Wallace, Federal Secreary of Agriculture, to a meeting of Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas farmers on Tuesday. For the moment, let's forget about the debts. We have no way of forcing collection of them, yet many |)eople and a number dependent for their salaries on the votes of the people won't consider writing them off as bad debts which can be credited only to ex perience. But tariffs—that's something. The only way the people of foreign countries can pay for cotton and tobacco and wheat and manufact ured products from the United States is by selling a nearly equal value of their own. goods or services to the |»eople of- the United States. Such sales within the United States wouJd be in coni|)etition with American producers and manufact urers. More especially, under the present NRA wage raising employment-increasing drive in America, they would be in competition with sales of goods whose prices are raised as a result of this campaign. Sole protection against such competition lies in keeping and even in raising existing tariff barriers. Yet it is to the interest of growers of export crops and of |>eople in such crop areas that tariffs be lower ed, so (hat foreigners may buy some of what they produce. . Once again the interest of most manufacturing in this country and the interest of much of the farming population are set contrary to each other. Depression Heroes The Houston Chronicle There are many heroes of the depression, but none deserving" more praise than the school teachers of Chicago. w They have kept the schools open every day dur ing three years of delayed pay. They taught school through September, October, November, December, January, February, March, and April of the past school year without a dollar in salary. They kept things stable while thousands of respect able fathers of Chicago families stood in the bread lines day after day and months after month as the only means of feeding their children. For the most part these men stood quietly. But who can say whether the temptation to an outburst would not have been too great if they had seen their children at the sace time being deprived of educational oppor tunity of their chances in life? Worse Than Wounded AsheviUe Citizen. Speaking of "wound stripes," The Durham Herald nominates the public schools of North Carolina for first place on the honor roll. Some of the public school systems of this state have not been merely wounded. They have been destroyed.
