A Cure For Dissention And Hatred
Since the common musses have been picked
up by the present national administration
those who have gulped at the pork barrel and
fed at the government trough for years and
years have tried to create opposition to federal
policies in general and the relief system in pai
ticular by stirring up class hatred The money
barons prior to 1933 never gave class hatred a
thought, but there has been a great deal of talk
about the classes since that time
Prior to 1933, the upper crust of society ad
vised the common people .to wait, that prosper
ity was just around the corner. They never ol
fered even the slightest suggestion that would
prove of value 111 eliminating class hatred, a
class hatred that was about to assert itself in
the latter part of 1932 and early 1933.
Now that the talk about classes has been
brought into the open, it is time for everyone
to support a cure for the evil.
One must recognize a fellow-mail as a human
being, not as a beast to be subjected to starva
tio? wages and unfair treatment.
Before class hatred is eliminated, tin various
public agencies must discard favoritism, and
place their transactions on a solid foundation.
In the courts, the lowest as well as the highest
should be fed out of the same spoon if class har
mony is to prevail. One's property should be
taxed not on the standing of the owner in the
community but on the basis of real value of
property It isn't the lug lei low wlm controls
numerous votes that is to share all the favors
at the hands of the politicians; the little fellow
who casts his vote conscientiously and hi ac
cordance with the prevailing laws is entitled
to some consideration, too.
Class hatred will continue to exist just as
long as the individual tries to suppress the
weak by doubtful means. No man can complain
if another works hard to advance in the world
by his own efforts, but there is every right to
complain when a person attains fame or for
tune at the expense of his fellowman. Too
many have attaint d fame ami lui tulle by?sup
pressing the weak and not by the application
of tTjental and physical ability free of disflon
esty and questionable practices
To advance the cure for dissention and ha
tred existing between classes, the individual
must look with compassion upon the other in
dividual and advance and maintain that neigh
borly and understanding feeling as his business
grows and his life develops.
Where the Responsibility Belongs
The Statesville l andmark.
Taking note of the speed with which the rev
enue bill has moved through the lower house
ol the Genera! Assembly, the Greensboro Dally
News is impressed with the control which the
Hoey administration actually has over the cur
rent legislature.
Such highly controversial matters as the
sales tax. slot machine revenues, highway di
version, etc., have all been easily hurdled. And
the hurdling has been made easier either by a
nod from the Govornor'u mansion or by the ne?
cessity for revenues that the administration
has frankly stated it must have to carry out its
program Arid this sales tax-, highway fund di
version and other tax revenue sources, are
boldly proclaimed as "permanent".
The administration, then, must accept the re
sponsibility for its program, some of which will
m quire a lot of sweet-talking to-make it paf
atable to an increasing number of malcontents.
However, the administration is long on this
sweet-talk business, and link that to its present
political power and you have something that
will be hard to break through.
The Greensboro paper places the responsibil
itv thusly:
"Tht?administration is running the legisla
tive works If a cause is approved or lost, cer
tainly on the basis of the record to date with
nothing in sight to alter that alignment, its
fate may be charged directly to the degree of
administration support which was accorded or
denied it. There is riot going to be much oppor
tunity for passing of the buck by the reigning
powers that be, come the next campaign and
any questionable attitude on the part of the
? lectorate."
. This has not been a controversial session
The alignment has not been so definitely mark
ed But there has been enough evidence of dis
sension to indicate that if there had been out
standing leadership, the administration would
not have won each time in a trot.
Close observers will not be surprised if in
1114(1 the present administration has to get on
its toes to defend itself. A vote of the people
would reverse the highway diversion program
without a doubt, else why was there such de
termined effort to prevent a vote on an amend
ment to that end? Likewise the voters would
mandate their legislators to undo other things
that are a part of the administration program.
Failure to bring about real election reform,
making the sales tax a permanent load on
those least able to pay, diverting highway dol
lars, opening the door to the slot machine bar
ons all of these are issues that will appeal to
a great number of voters, and if somebody does -
not go to town with them in 1940, we'll miss
our guess.
Defacing
Miller, tin* World's No. 1 mad man, is defac
ing the map faces of Europe so rapidly these
days that nations are wiped out before many
of us can learn to spell their names. And no
mention is even made of the task of trying to
visualize boundary locations. However, in this
latter connection it is quite evident that Eu
ln|ie. ele long. a. ill U divided into one part.
We could get along a whole lot better if most
ol these folks who put fire in their speeches
wuuld reverse .the procedure - Greensboro
News.
