Tuesday, October 3, 1933
A good many people are complaining about the
high cost of living. Still, officials of the New Deal
say that prices on the products of industry are not
advancing as fast as they should. J hose back of the
recovery plan assert the belief that when prices ad
vance at a faster rate than the increased purchasing
power of the farmer will result in the buying of more
industrial products, thereby increasing employment at
a faster rate among all industries and trade in gen
eral. There are a good many classes of business that
have made unwarranted cost increases —but they are
not representative of business as a whole, since a
gradual rise in prices of all commodities has not tak
en place. Most of the heavy advances have been
made by business men who have been trying to take
advantage of new opportunities to reap more profits.
Time for Cooperation
Now is the time for every farmer to join in cooo
eration with his neighbor farmers on all crops.
The government is prepared and willing at all times
to assist the farmer in producing and marketing his
croj>s, and it can help him much better in cooperative
groups than it can single handed.
The gorvenment knows better about crops on hand,
as well as probable production anil prospective needs,
than any single farmer can hope to. We have seen
-the need of getting together and we are going to con
tinue to see such need.
Every bale of cotton should be handled coopera
tively. It will kill the speculator and gambler and
leave the profits they have been making in the hands
of the farmer, where it rightly belongs. As it has
been in the past, the cotton farmer has been plow
ing, planting, and sweating in the field all the year,
ad two speculators have been sitting on the fence in
the shade, and just as soon as the farmer carried
his product to market, the speculators divided with
him, giving the farmer a third and they each taking
a third.
Of course, the farmer has had a hard time; he has
had to feed too many folks to prosper himself.
More Getting Out Than Going In
We are making some progress in suppressing high
crime in the country. We captured one desperado,
the Gunman Kelley, in Memphis this week. This
was only a few hours, however, from the time that
11 desperadoes were capturing guards, warden, and
sheriff in the Indiana State Penitentiary at the point
of pistols, and after swinging prison gates open they
proceeded to flee the country.
According to the subtraction table, 1 from 11 will
leave 10, so we have 10 more coming out than we
have going in. So the raUi&eering is not entirely
stopped yet.
Of course, the liquor folks say the eighteenth amend
ment is the cause of all lawlessness, a tale with so
little truth in it that decent people should shun the
thought of so base a falsehood.
Of course, the reference to escaping prisoners above
referred to were outsiders; yet while this was happen
ing in other states, they were getting out by thir-
teens and elevens from our own state prisons. It
seems that criminals are getting out of prison faster
than we tan put them in.
Guaranteeing Ba.nk Deposits
It seems to be a foregone conclusion that bank de
posits are going to be guaranteed by governmental
authority. It is generally conceded that such guar
antees will bring much hidden money out for use in
business channels. It will also enforce better methods
in banking.
We have already gone too long with banks afraid
to make loans on any kind of security. The Govern
ment needs to force banks to make loans on good
security—and then when a run occurs, let the Gov
ernment take over the security, furnish cash to pay
checks, and hold the security until it can be collected
in an orderly way.
In such cases the government would not permit
the deflation of securities, which was the direct cause
of 99 per cent of the bank failures in this country In
the past few years. *
Our government's business is to prevent inflation
and deflation.
Prices
Use Nothing But Facts •
»
There are two good reasons why tobacco reports
as to both prices and pounds should be correct: First,
it is wrong to lie. Second, if prices are as high as
some statements indicate, why are farmers kicking so
much?
The government will help us according to our
needs, and the public will sympathize with us in pro
portion to our suffering.
Let us use nothing but and not overstate any
thing, especially in boosting pounds and prices.
Two Major Scandals
Two major scandals are now being hinted at in
high places in politics. C. Bascom Slemp, who was
at one time secretary and adviser to the late Presi
dent Calvin Coolidge; and James E. Ferguson, the
ill-famed Texas governor and wife-delegated gover
nor at this time are the men concerned.
In both cases it seems that the accused hired them
selves out to dishonest men to allow them to get their
hands on public funds.
Gabriel must have some mighty dirty stuff written
in the book of life, and what howling and shrieking
there is going to be in the judgment, when all the
big politicians stand before the throne. How we need
to teach the folks to be honest, and how severely they
should be punished if they are not honest.
Tax-Exempt Bonds
Tax-free bonds are the most unfair things in our
entire business system. They withdraw nearly all the
ready cash from business investments and put it into
tax-free securities, making the bond-holder the most
useless American citizen. It makes him a non-sup
porter of the government, and he is sucking out its
life-blood through tax-exempt bonds. It will help
business to do away with this class of securities.
Deadly Indifference
Charlotte Observer
North Carolina, which is entitled to a liberal share
of the public works fund made available by the Fed
eral Government for the stimulation of employment,
is not running over itself getting its head into the
trough.
As a matter of fact, Raleijth reports what amounts
to a "deadening indifference" to the entire program,
due in large measure to hostility to the high rates of
pay which must be invoked where this money is
utilized.
It is evidently felt in North Carolina that the Fed
eral rate is so high that it might permanently inter
fere with prevailing scales that have been used in the
States and especially demoralizing to farm labor, which
is unable to compete with the hourly level fixed for
public works in which the Federal Government allows
its funds to be used.
This, however, if carried too far may resolve itself
into a case of cutting off the nose to spite the face.
North Carolina will be assessed around $80,000,000
of this aggregate fund when the paying back comes
around and whether it uses its share or not, this ob
ligation will be hanging over its head.
One Class Penalized To Aid His
Neighbor
Hertie ledger-Advance
What concessions to make to delinquent taxpayers
in any given unit—city, town or county —has been
answered in recent months by granting too much of
it in some cases. The legislature first eased up on
those who were in arrears; and then along came ad
ministrative units to take more than the law permit
ted, and in the end they usually receive the sanc
tion of the courts, or, at least, they have not been hin
dered by the court.
As a result, there has grown up an inequitable col
lection system that usually penalizes the prompt pay
ing taxpayers, as valuable an asset as that class is in
a period when cash paid on time ought to earn the
everlasting gratitude of the creditor as well as a sub
stantial money dsicount. The thing has not worked
that way at all. For instance, in Charlotte The News
tells of inequalities that have developed by reason of
this all too often exercised leniency:
"It beings to appear as though there may be, after
all, a matter upon which the dty government and this
newspaper may reach a perfect accord. Yesterday
City Manager Pridgen disclosed an intention to pro
ceed with the collection of past due taxes, even to the
extent of levying on salaries, wages, bank accounts,
and other personal property. We have been advocat
ing just that for months.
"There isn't, you see, much justice in continuing
to finance the operation of the city entirely out of the
prompter taxpayers and the banks. Taxes are hard
enough to pay when the burden is distributed with
some regard for equity. When it is concentrated
heaviest upon those who strive to meet their obliga
tions on time and who value the city's good financial
name the injustice stirs up what it has always stirred
up in these parts: rebellion.
"There has been talk of a tax strike and a great
many people have signified their intention of waiting
until the cows come home. They resent the increased
taxes they are assessed, but they resent even more
the city's misguided consideration for those who don't
pay and who seem to suffer no consequences as a re
sult of delinquency.
"If there is to be some effort at collecting past-due
taxes the city will note, we think, an immediate quick
ening in the payment of currftt yutes. Of course, it
is unnecessary to point out that the effort as yet has
materialized only in verbal form, even that lacking
the assent of the members of the council."
