Monday the Martin County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution endorsing the present road system and urging its continuance. At the same hour the Dur ham County Commissioners were condemning it in resolutions of disapproval. We want to say that we stand squarely with our Martin County folks. We well remember the days when each man from 18 to 45 had to make his six days each year to keep up the public roads and we remember, too, that the roads were practically impassable with a horse and wagon in certain seasons. Following that period we had the property and poll tax system, which proved to be very little better than the six day work plan. Now we have tjhe full state-supported road system which -stands out a hundred pet rent ahead of anything we have had be fore, and who pays for it, not the farmer by the road side, not the merchant out in the city., nd^ the man who walks the road. Nobody but the riding guy, the goes to the filling station and buys gas and, rides? he's thefeikwe who -builds and keeps up the roads. With the vast improvement in our entire road sys tem it seems that the only fellow who will criticize and grumble is the fellow who will criticize and grumble with or without a cause. You see this generation demands so much there is no satisfying it. We just demand an earthly para dise. It has been said that Durham has fared very good in road distribution, getting her full share of the good roads. That may be why she is so hard to satisfy. Generally the child that has the most wants the most. Would Durham change our road system or is she just squealing for more than her share? 20 Million Sweethearts The show that advertises twenty million sweet hearts leaves out more than half in America. Ac cording to Webster, the meaning of the word "sweet heart, is "One beloved; a lover," and certainly there are more than twenty million such people in this country. Out of the 125,000,000 folks, it may be that there are not more than that many real honest to-God truly honest sweethearts. According to the divorce statistics there seems to be many marriages where there is not much love, or it may be that the many temptations of the various kinds of the present age is smashing much of the old time real love. Or perhaps the fact that the weight of divorce no longer seems to have much sting may t>e some reason why we have so many, most of them from so little cause. At least we need more real sweethearts and fewer divorces to make this a happier and better world. Education The Only Sale Investment An investment in education (or our boys and girls is tbe only secure and safe investment. It does not fluctuate with the value of the dollar. Crippling our educational facilities at this time is not fair to this generation of boys and girls. We cannot deny to these guardians of our future the same opportunity which we all enjoyed. We sacrifice in order to accumulate wealth. We should not hesitate to sacrifice for a more important purpose, which is the training of our boys and girls. The education of our children is a paramount duty. Von Hindenburg > Most of the world hated Von Hindenburg 15 year* ago as the cruel general whfn he was pressing a ruthless warfare against the Allies. Things have un dergone a great change within so short a period. The man once hated and, no doubt, misunderstood, chang ed from a field general trying to conquer, to a nation al ruler who tried to rebuild a nation and bring peace and happiness to the world. Now that he is dead, we ate finding that he was too much like the best of us to be criticised severely. When in war, he did his beet; when in peace, he did his best?only a com mon duty of man. War does not give a man a chance to be his best Peace does so, and if we are to be what we would like to be we must keep away from "A summary that satisfies is found in these words: 'Labor is the foundation-stone of human progress.' "The nation has been disturbed by many labor disturbances: but there is comfort in statistics be cause they prove that there are only one-third as many strikes and lockouts as there were a dozen years ago. "Slavery, and the right of the employer to 'hire and fire' were accepted in earlier times. Slavery ex isted for more than a thousand years in Christian nations. Vermont was the first of the original states to free its slaves in 1777. The Quakers opposed slavery and abolished it in Pennsylvania shortly af ter Vermont acted. ' "Labor stood alone in developing agriculture and as our country grew it was labor that created the wealth within the nation. Capital used its accumu lations gained from labor to multiply production and distribution. Labor and capital should have remained co-partners. "About 1881 the National Labor Union and the Knights of Labor demanded a 'new deal' from cap It aT. There had been a great strike on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and troops were called out. In 1892 the country was ablaze with excitement when negie plant at Homestead, Pennsylvania. Two years later Eugene V. Debs led a great railroad strike. "Woodrow Wilson declared that the public interest must rank first in importance. This new doctrine of the American public is now supporting Federal and State legislation and administrators who back up such court procedure and methods for investigation and conciliation as exists through the National Labor Board. "The rule of reason indicates that arbitration and enforced settlement of labor disputes is practical. It follows the procedure by which courts and juries render decisions. "The unending March of Progress thus brings us to our new era?an era in which the doctrine of Wil son is being accepted. And that means that capital and labor must bring their cases to court, and that we are done with civil war and oppression and rr^ob rule in this country. _ "One of the outstanding features of the Roosevelt 'New Deal' is that the fear of capital, or the chal lenge of union labor doesn't scare anybody any more. Child labor has been outlawed, hours and employ ment have been shortened, wages increased, more than a dozen states are paying out a total of $25, 000,000 a year for old age pensions, and 'the founda ton-stone of human progress'." k" -Brmr kicked until capital, thrust its , hand in its pockets and cut its food and clothing to ?the- starvation and freezing point. /4s/r The Man About The Constitution Hertford County Herald. 1, - /" A revised constitution for North Carolina has been written and will be submitted to the people of the State for ratlflcatlon or rejection in the gpueial election jn November. _ Since the constitution is the basic law of the State, the decision the people will be called upon to make in November with reference to the ratification or rejection of the revised constitution will be one of major importance. It is a matter that calls for thoughtful considera tion by every citizen, for it is a matter that will de termine the form and structure of the government under which citizens of the State are to live. ~ It transcends in importance the election of indivi duals to office, important as the selection of officials is, since it is under the authority of this basic law, the constitution, that the people clothe their officials with power and responsibility to act for them. Voting upon the constitution should not be con trolled by political considerations, but by honest conviction after careful' consideration of the needs of the State and the relative merits of the alterna tives, the constitution as it is now written or the re visal that is offered. By this, we do not seek the advice of political leaders on the qtuition. On the other hand, the average citizen, unversed in the busi ness of interpretation of constitutions and the funda mental principles involving his rights and liberties which they contain, must seek his advice from these leaders; furthermore, he has the right to expect and should demand that political leaders, who in the na tural course of events are or would be leaders in our government under whatever constitution it func tions, advise him on this momentous question. It follows, too, that political leaders should defin itely commit themselves to a position for or against the proposal upon which the voter must decide. If the politician is in fact a leader, and not merely1 a politician, he will take a position for or against; for In the decision of this fundamental question is the test of real political leadership, since It Involves principles of government and not mere personal gain through election to office. There, in a nut Shell, is the difference between a politician and a political leader. The revised constitution was prepared by ? spe cial commission composed of outstanding leaders and thinkers selected from diverse fields of endeavor. The need for revision having been generally accepted and the commission appointed by legislative mandate in recognition of this need, the constitution that will be offered in November is the composite result of this commission's work in producing a basic law that would meet this need. This newspaper here and now commits itself to a position in support of the revision. We believe it to be an improvement over the present instrument, and Its adoption will mean better government for the State; and, as a consequence thereof, an increase in the advantages, opportunities, and welfare of the majority of the individuals composing the State. OPPOSE IDEA TO 'CO NTROL CROP PEANUT MILLERS AAA Representatives Will Take Information to Washington With the millers opposed to gov ernment intervention in the peanut industry and asking for lower mini mum prices for this year's crop, if the ! present marketing agreement is con tinued, and the six hundred or more farmers who were present favoring an extension of government control, as embodied in an amendment to the marketing agreement now in effect which control marketing this year's crop by allotment so as to eliminate a surplus, the two-day conference in 1 Suffolk this week of growers and millers with representatives *of the AAA endJd without result Six representatives of the AAA were present, and they will return tn Washington with thr information gleaned from the conference to take whatever action is deemed advisable. Fanners and millers were far apart trol, the former favorable and the latter, in most instances, antagonis tic. The proposed amendment would provide for the control board's de termination of the estimated supply of peanuts, of the supply that could be purchased under present market ing conditions, and for allotment to the three producing areas and to the growers within those areas of the tonnage that may be delivered. The millers felt that the prices to be paid growers or others for farm ers' stock peanuts, as listed in section 2, article 3, of the proposed amend ment, were too high. On those grounds they met bitter objections from the growers. The prces listed in section 2. ar ticle 3, range from $55 per ton for Southeastern U. S. 1, to $65 for Vir ginia Shelling, U. S. 3 Class A, and Southeastern Spanish U. S. 1. J The millers suggested $45 to $50 per ton, but the growers opposed any lowering in the proposed prices. At the gathering Monday the growers heard suggestion on the best methods of handling the peanut crop so that the market at no time will be glutted, and so that the prices of peanuts will be kept at such a level as 4o?xmmc? *t jtfoJitaUlc tor .bath the farmer and the miller to handle the peanut crop. Growers and millers were also, re quested to submit their ideas on the suggested amendment to the Agri cultural Adjustment Admnistration within the next ten days. Presenting the growers' viewpoint of the proposed amendment to the Market Agreement, W. A. Gwaltney, chairman of the Peanut Growers' Committee, stated: . "It requires nothing from me to ptove that a veiy* small surplus above trade requirements depresses the price out of all proportions to the size of that surplus. So we growers do not desire to permit a small sur plus of peanuts which might be pro duced in the 1934 season to effect a ruinous loss. "A small surplus, if the amendment I to the Marketing Agreement does not become effective, would very likely result in our selling our 1934 produc tion at a disastrous loss. "With proper surplus control, we can secure at least our cost of produc-1 tion, we are sure. J. Rives Warsham, of Norfolk, chairman of a committee of millers in Virginia and North Carolina, explain ed the millers1 objections to the amendment, as follows: "We are opposed to the proposed amendment to the Marketing Agree ment for the reason that we believe it is entirely unworkable and imprac tlcable IB practice. In effect the amendment it virtually a new agree ment which we believe to be even more restrictive than the present agreement, in that it will seriously curtail consumption by obstructing a free market for peanuts by the limit ing of trading and holding the mar ket at an unnatural and artificial level. "Arbitrarily to create a surplus to be held in abeyance during a part of the season will constitute a serious threat to any upward movement in the market. j During Monday afternoon, from the various talks made, it was ap parent that the growers of peanuts are in favor of an amendment to the marketing agreement Which will control the surplus crop. It was made plain that no vote was to be taken -or is a vote con templated. The object of the hear ing is to arrive at the viewpoint of the growers and cleaners. GENUINE BAYER ASPIRIN?
