Friday, March 2, 1934 Colonizing the Unemployed Our government has now taken its first actual and permanent step toward taking care of its homeless and jobless people, which doubtless embraces about one-fourth of our population, or at least 30,000,000 souls, who have been driven from the factories by machinery, never to be called back to their jobs again —and which means a complete recasting of our civ ilization, so far as our business relations are con cerned. Since the machine has displaced the man by tak ing his job and his wage, upon which he and his fam ily existed, he is now a wanderer, having gone from the factory pay roll to the charity list. The govern ment has taken the job of sustaining him temporarily by paying him a weekly stipend. However, the plan is unworkable, except as a temporary arrangement. After looking the field over, no place can be found to put the floaters, whereby they can earn their own sustenance, except on land, which will enable them, with the help of the forces of nature, to produce the bread necessary to sustain life. So the government is preparing to purchase land on a large scale and sell it to. homsesteaders at cost on long-term basis, in small tracts, upon which millions of people will be forced to settle in the near future or starve. This will mean a lower scale of living by far than we have enjoyed for many years. Yet it will have to be endured, because it beats starvation.. It means no silE 'stockings, not much cosmetics, not many per manents, no cigarettes, no taxes to pay . Yet it has all the possibilities of joy and happiness which the simple life assures us. They will have the school, the church, their social joys, just as the imaginary rich have. And they even have the potential possibilities of being better people than they were while in the throes of the wild orgies of"*sinful society, which we have seen on every hand during the past decade. When the government colonizes the unemployed on land, upon which they can exist, it will relieve it self of the greatest burden that it now faces. Should Curb Filthy Magazines Many of the modern magazines are contributing to the destruction of modesty and self-respect—and ill many instances, contributing to the moral break down—of both men and women as well as of boys and girls. ' It is very doubtful if parents generally know the type of literature which is floating around among their children. If they did, many of them would shudder and gasp. Many of these so-called magazines are leaders in the most conducive paths to the destruc tion of character, being circulated by the modern lecher. There needs to be more stringent laws against the publication of such journals. Signs of the Times •"5"" vi me M iiiica The signs of the times indicate that certain New York horse-race gamblers are now planning to put a number of North Carolina counties in their racing list at the coming session of the legislature. Last year they passed half a dozen counties thru, but the vote of the people was required and they failed to carry. Now they are working through their attorneys and certain politicians to find a way to legal ixe their pari-mutuel horse-racing betting. Let your candidate give you his or her solemn pledge not to support any yambling laws in our state legislature or do not vote for him. To Increase Work in Relief Offices The CWA seems to be approaching its end. It has done worlds of good. Some good work has been done, while some has been equivalent to wasted. * Doubtless the system of,work would have gone on for many months but for the great flood of protests from the public, who have discovered that many people and many communities have not pulled fairly with the government. Some fanners have pushed their farm drainage un der the guise of health work, when often such has been the case at all, and only personal benefits to a few people have been derived. Suspension of the work will naturally increase work fas the relief offices, which wHI undoubtedly be more adaptable to the public and will insure a more equit able distribution to those who are in need. ruiuma i»w* TgJOAIMMjDrjjJAY Back 6,000 Years The Hon. J. O. Carr, now United States District Attorney, is credited (that is to say, if it is a credit) with saying that children should be educated accord ing to the ability of their parents to pay for their education. We can hardly understand why a man with sufficient ability to hold the important office Mr. Carr now holds, by appointment of the President of the United States, would make such a remark. If such a time ever comes that alt of the education we get must be paid for by the individual himself, then we will have to look back about 6,000 years to get a view of the civilization that would soon follow. We, of course, know there are men selfish enough to want to see every poor child kept out of school and a yoke of bondage thrust across their necks. But Mr. Carr's idea comes too late. The reign of wealth has ended—and it was public education that did it. Mr. Carr may regret to see the children of the poor enjoying the same free-school advantages that the children of the rich are getting, but he is everlast ingly too late with his statement. Our forefathers builded a more humane principle into our constitu tion. Their ideals were much higher and safer than those expounded by Mr. Carr, and they will prevail as long as truth, justice, and honor exist and are the prevailing ideals of man. What we need to learn is that wealth is not supreme in the life of man. Get Together, Brethren We are not speaking for or against the sales tax; simply asking for a little more harmony in the figures. Governor Ehringhaus has recently been quoted as saying the sales tax saved the credit of the state and the public schools; which, if true, is certainly a for tunate thing for both the state government and for the children of the state. On the other hand, Mr. Maxwell, in upholding the virtues of the sales tax with figures, shows that the sales tax amounts to about $6,000,000 annually and saves property taxpayers of a burden of $10,000,000. The thing that puzzles us is how the loss of $4,000,- 000 in taxes saves anything. Certainly, it cannot help us pay debts or boost our credit, for everybody knows the state can pay more debts and more inter est with $10,000,000 than with $6,000,000. Even the dullest pupil will not miss that point. It looks more to us like the school teachers are the sufferers. They have patiently borne the heat and burden of the day by absorbing as a net loss the same amount that the people have saved. Of course, some people may be willing to starve the schoolteachers to death and destroy the schools rather than pay any kind of tax. However, most people want schools and are willing to pay any rea sonable tax to preserve them. We are not kicking the sales tax, the land tax, the gas tax, or any other kind of tax. What we want to know is how, by losing $4,000,000 in tax revenue, we increase our credit and improve our schools? Get together, brethren. Judicial Competency R. R. Clark in Greensboro Daily News Judge Frank Daniels, of. the fourth judicial district, announces that he will not be a candidate for reelec tion. His honor says he has decided to follow the example of Nathaniel Macon and retire while "I thought my faculties fairly good, before, with the in firmities of advancing age, I should not know whether they were or not." Judge Daniels will retire to the emergency bench and receive two-thirds pay, subject to call as substitute. Inferentially, the condition of faculties don't count on the emergency bench. It is recalled that a judge who was quite active on the emergency bench was found, in Judge Daniels' court, to be mentally incompetent to make a will. A Man of Action Sampson Independent Whether or not you agree with President Roosevlct, you will have to admit that he is a man of action. When investigation revealed the fact that there had been crookedness in the awarding of air mail con tracts, the President immediately cancelled all such contracts and announced that the task of "flying the mail would be taken over by the Army and Navy air forces. Naturally, that evoked a howl from those holding the contracts previously made, and it appears that one Charles A. Lindbergh, of flying fame, was made the "cat's paw" of the corporations holding the con tracts. Colonel Lindbergh wired a heated protest to Mr. Roosevelt, denouncing his act as unfair to the holder of the contracts. It soon developed, however, that Colonel Lindbergh had been the recipient of a quarter-million dollars worth of stock in one of the firms holding a contract with the government. Lindbergh was acclaimed a hero when he made his famous flight across the Atlantic, and rightly so. How ever, he has been severely criticised by the press and public for his act in making, or at least signing, the protest to the President. General opinion seems to be that he was speaking for financial reasons, and that he is a much better aviator than he is politician. One writer goes so far as to state that the Colonel will find his effort to thwart the President a much more difficult feat than that of flying It has been charged that Sply 2S cents out of each dollar appropriated for the air mail service ever reach ed the goal for which it was intended. If that be true, then the President acted wisely in cancelling the mail contracts. And the effect of cancelling the mall contracts should be more far-reaching than just the amount to be saved in this particular instance. It shows a determination to wipe out graft in govern mental affairs, and If it succeeds, die public will ben efit tc| a helpful degree.
