Income And Taxes Taxes are undoubtedly high in the United States, but it must be remembered that taxes in recent years have been accompanied by an increasing income. It is a fact seldom mention ed, but according to figures recently released by the Department of Commerce the income increase has been far greater than the added taxes On an average, income for 1937 was greater by $46 per individual than it was the year be fore. After hearing all that has been said about a balanced budget or one that isn't balanced, one is almost certain to believe that we arc in worse condition financially now than we were in 1932 or early 1933. It is an actual fact that the increased income since 1932 would pay all the tax levies and still there would be a con siderable sum left. Take Time To Live A twelfth grade is being considered for the schools of North Carolina, and there can be of fered little opposition to the proposed action to increase the educational advantages. It is agreed that the problems facing the country and world today are calling for trained minds in greater numbers than ever before. The add ed grade can do much toward solving the prob lems Tn this town, county and State But be fore much good will result, the trainers must apply some of the fundamental principles that never grow old. There's little to be gained by better training youth how to figure interest on investments or how to get the most money from the least work That added grade, if it is to prove of any great value, must point out to every youth that the world does not owe him a living, that cash inheritances are not to be valued above hones ty and righteousness, and that.one must take time out to live and let others live. The banks are advertising money in plenti ful amounts for financing new industrial plants, plants to make additional merchandise for an already burdened market. We wonder if the schools aren't turning out more candidates for jobs that are non-existent than the num ber they are turning out to lead respectful and useful lives, lives that are not choked by the impressed desire to get ahead in life regard less of the fate that might befall others. If the added grade can instill in the minds of youth that a bit of character and honesty is needed as well as cold learning, it will be worth all that it costs and more. At one time a plain note was all that the lender required of a borrower. The value of honesty was prized then. Today, the business world recognizes everyone as a "dead-beat" or thief, and it prepares its papers with an iron grip on the holdings of the borrower. Honesty is not considered any more. We have wander ed away from those old principles, and a look around us will reveal what a mess we are in. Possibly that added grade might find time to teach the value of honesty and righteousness. On Un-American Activities ?? Christian Science .Monitor. No true American wishes Communism or Fascism to creep over the United States under cover of the citizen's ignorance. Possibly con tinuous operation of such agencies as the Dies committee is needed to expose the methods end activities of groups who seek to overthrow Am erican ideals and institutions. While very lit tle preventive legislation has resulted from the several congressional investigations made in the last twenty years, the best prevention is the alertness of the people. To the extent that they promote genuine alertness these commit tees are useful. Yet in considering the request of the Dies committee for continued authority and more funds, Congress will do well to demand that ladically better methods shall be used. If such investigations are to do more good than harm, they must avoid even the appearance of being used for political or class purposes. And they must eschew the un-American methods of hear say evidence and the reckless blasting of repu tations and discredited witnesses. But even more important is the need for Am i ricans to recognize that mere exposure of un American activities is a small part of preserv ing their heritage. That must be done primar ily by the positive every-day practice of gen uine Americanism?freedom, tolerance, "good will, justice, independence, self-control, self respect, and respect for others. Of Which To Be Ashamed Charlotte Observer. While North Carolina is basking itself among the manifold achievements which justly stim ulate its pride and make it throw its chest out, statement of Mrs. W. T. Bost, Public Welfare Commissioner, that the State last year illegal ly jailed 1,000 of its youthful delinquents. Jailed them illegally because, of course, the State has no other means established or insti tutions set up by which such immature delin quents can be accommodated except in the common jails. And common jails in North Carolina are com monly rather pathetically common. p These statistics stab. North Carolina ought to cover its face with shame or something or other, so"tong as this unholy record is being written.
