The Federal are governed by men whose dividends are affected by their management and they will most certainly take too much tribute off of the other fellow. And. strange to say, for 50 years our I reasury De partment has been in the hands of the real agents of the Bankers' Trust, with two exceptions. One of then) was Daniel Manning, secretary under Grover Cleveland. He tumbled the bankers' load of silver and made them take it. when they tried their raid on the gold reserve. Yet this same gang finally man ..aged to nestle in the bosom of the administration later on. , The other time was when McAdoo made loans to the small banks from the I reasury balances held by the big banks on which they had formerly been making untold millions without |>aying a cent of interest tji the government And then Mr. McAdoo kicked the Bankers trust office desk out of the Treas ury building, where it had stood so long to dictate the monetary polities of the government's financial system later Mr McAdoo was employed as at torney for the moving picture trust, and then later he seemed to have gotten into the' game of receiving special favors from the very same bankers (The Na tional City, for one); perhaps for his influence in helping to "skin" a lot of South Americans, doubtless many North Americans as well —because McAdoo's name put a fine "avor to bonds and..made them sell well even if they were worthless. The jieople ought to know by tjiis time that the money bags man is the fellow that betrays, bankrupts, and destroys. Mr Roosevelt, watch them. They are dead against your NRA, because they know it helps the (xipulace and lowers their dividends. The kaiser s "Me and God' expressions are being paralleled by Hitler's claim that "If any nation is en tilled to Divine lielp, it is Germany." He further states thai the world does not under stand Germany. Well, that is certainly true. No body has ever understood why any nation of highly civilized people should be so base as lo tread on the rights and shoot down the Belgian people and cause the death of 10.000,000 [>eople of the world. No body undertands why she did that, yet everybody knows she did it, and that is just why they refuse to trust her now. It is of course the general opinion that Geramny's real purpose was to kill, slay, and cut her way south easterly to the Indian Ocean and establish herself as a world empire, to which she proposed to make all nations bow the knee. Being whipped and failing in her purpose, she is now squealing. Many people thought the Allies should have gone further when they crossed the Rhine. Oxford Public Ledger. Somewhere down the line in its program, the re covery administration may well afford to include a "pay your debts" campaign. Two prominent Oxford of them in por tion to know something of thJe credit situation in the community and this community may be considered an average of the state and nation—in an informal discussion, pointed out that any marked degree of prospperity must be preceded by an era of debt-pay ing, and that is true. The average person is head-over-heels in debt and it is going to take determination and consistent effort to better this condition, especially as each day brings new opportunities for thoughtless spending as credi tors hang on to hopes in writhing anguish. A clearing of debts will permit the creditors to open Hfcr- new avenues of employment by building, spending themselves and otherwise boosting the recovery pro gram. As was said by the two conveners, there is no excuse for one running off and spending recklessly V because of inability to pay all debts at once. A conscientious effort in a program of debt pmy "B WBM bring about a tremendous improvement in business before January I. The NRA might well afford to declare • "Pay Your Debts" The Kaiser and Hitler Debts and Recovery WM.IWD TU-PAY AMD FWIPA The Value of Cooperation The Government is now lending 1 cent per pound more on cotton than the New York market pays for an outright sale. The value of cooperation by farmers is fully dem onstrated by the fact that our farmers, by the forma tion of cooperative associations —which the govern n ent recognizes as essential to the success of agricul ture —are now receiving 1 cent per pound more than the market price. _ When farmers began the formation of cooperatives, the fight was so strong against them by the price manipulators, who played both the producers and con sumers, that iT was hard sledding, and only a, tew farmers ventured far enough to attempt to organize. Now, happily, nearly every farmer and business man has sense enough to know the value it offers and is willing to>in "h7s neighbor* in an effort to save their business from merciless slighter by the grafters, e How NOT To Pay Taxes No man should pay his taxes by buying liquor The man who advocates poor men paying their taxes by buying taxed liquor cannot be wise, accord ing to our estimate of values. In fact, paying taxes by buying liquor is the most expensive method of pay ing taxes that can be devised. If a man owes a dollar tax and spends 25 cents on his taxes and then spends the 75 cents left for some useful article for himself, his wife, or children, every reasonable man will say that he is wiser than the man who spends his dollar for whisky, of which 25 cents goes into liquor tax, and the balance, 75 cents, goes to the whisky manufacturer and seller. The argument for paying taxes by buying and drink ing liquor is so stpuid tfcat all thinking people should resent it. Mr. Ford Should Sign Mr. Ford should sign the NRA, although he has done more for labor than any other large-scale em ployer in the world and has sold as many dollars' worth of service during the past quarter Ql a century as any other man. Still, he needs to give full coop eration to the public program of the nation. It seems his principal objection to signing is be cause he will have to bow to the House of Morgan which is the fountain head of his competitors, to the extent of having his books opened for inspection, and of course, it is an open secret that Morgan is noted for crushing his competitors. There is probably some merit in Mr. Ford's stand, but the National Industrial Recovery Act is the law of the land, and no man can be a good citizen unless he obeys the law. Fertilizer vs. Sducation North Carolina has spent each year for 15 years an average of about twice as much for fertilizer as we are spending for education. Yet our education is worth many times more than our fertilizer. We must remember that fertile minds well cultivated are worth far more than fertilized fields. > Educate and succeed, or don't educate and be a servant. "Do It, We Will Hertford County Herald That quoted headline is from President Roosevelt's talk to the nation, by radio and newspapers, Sunday night. It was his third direct message to the people of the United States since assuming the Presidency in March. He was talking raising to higher levels the present prices of farm products. In that same firm and easily understood language that has charac terized his talks with the American Roosevelt made it plain that farm commodity prices would be increased beyond the present levels, especi ally those commodities which have shown little ten dency to respond to the Federal Government's cam paign to help the farmer. The increase in price would come, if not by one method, another and another will be promulgated until farmers receive a fair return for their work and investments. Unstinted praise was given to Southern cotton and tobacco growers, and to the wheat farmers of the Mid west, for their almost unanimous cooperation in sign ing reduction contracts offered them by the Govern met. The response given in those programs of acreage reduction has cemented the faith that the President had in rural America, and it is because of the farm er's willingness to cooperate that this administration is going right ahead with its announced plan and de termined program of bettering conditions for agri cultural classes. There is a whole lot more to this "Do It We Will" than appears on the surface. Here is a philosophy that some of us have been preaching in and out of season. It is a much used and often abused word— this it explains this latest posi tive assurance from the Nation's Chief that farm commodity prices must go higher. Who could have ever expected such assurance and such continued ef forts to relieve agriculture, if those who engaged i« it thmselves had not respondd quickly and whole heartedly to the acreage reduction campaign? No one, of course. It ought not onl yto teach us farmers something about cooperation, but it should put some of us to shame for holding off and permitting our neighbor sign and cooperate while we go on doubting, Hinging to an tiquated ideas ad methods; and then walk up to the counter to receive the ultimate benefits. The same general proposition applies to those who come within the provisions of NRA as employers, as employees, •nd ap consumers. It is a simple, old, every-day proposition dealing with here—just plain old cooperation.
