(tf Government The cost of state government m North Car olina while showing an increase ovei the fig ure of five years ago is quite small, a recent is sue of the University of North Carolina News Letter listing the per capita cost at $!.'i 112 for 1938 as compared with $9 90 in 1932. When one considers the long and .varied-list of services offered by the State of North Caro lina today as compared with the few services offered in 19311. it would seem that the per cap ita cost is actually less today than it was in the long past On the other hand while costs of various articles and services offered on-a mass production scale have had a tendency to reflect an actual decrease within the unit, per capita government costs have gone up despite the ever increasing population figures in this State. The upward trend in pei capita costs for gov ernment is traceable to the damnable business of reports and a jumbled up system of centrali zation that has put about as many politically picked people on the state payroll as members of commissions or as workers in fast multiply ing offices as there are actual taxpayers Our governmental system today assumes at the start that everybody is a crook, that he most report this aelieily rind Hi.il .lelivity nnd ? account for this penny on a certain form and that penn> on another ci etilni form and :m on The practical administration of government through common sense has been reduced to cold paper reports that can be warped and twist ed to prove this point or to contradict that point. A random observation of government shows that thousands are straining their eves out to make those reports while thousands of others are straining their eyes to read the reports And in the final analysis there is little or nothing to the reports but a bulk of paper that fills more and more storage houses Eliminate the unnecessary reports, wipe out the needless commissions that stink politically and fire some of those who are busy doing noth ing but drawing breath and pay and the cost of government will drop for every head in the State About the only thing the new radio models need is another button that, when pressed, will fork over the next payment Indianapolis News. 4 Bad Situation It's a bad situation surrounding American agriculture when a recognized economist or sta tistician advises the prospector to invest in a small farm near a city or town not with the idea of making a profit on its operation but with the possibility of turning to it as a place of refuge should a period of inflation set in. Roger Babson, the economist, admits there is no opportunity for a fanner to own and op erate a farm at a profit. Babson could have said more He could have said that the American farmer is not sharing equally from the fruits of ho labor along with other works and indus try Possibly other economists refognize that truism Leaders in government and industry cannot deny that regrettable truth. Possibly some of them would alter the bad situation and place agriculture at the conference tablc?Jl is quite evident however that agriculture will support the prosperity of other groups for time to come or until farmers perfect strong organ izations of their own to claim and maintain their equal rights along with other industry. Suspect II. s. in Koxburo Courier. The hub-dub raised in this country when the President changed Thanksgiving Day from the fifth to the fourth Thursday of this month would lead one to suspect that Americans can be thankful upon only one day and that it must coincide with the football schedules that wen made last year. Traffic I truth* tad iliolml Soutliside Virginia News. Statistics presented at the National Safety Congress, which met in Atlantic City recently, disclosed some significant facts on-the deaths of pedestrians and motorists who wore intoxi cated. The stalis'tics~sliow that one out of every sev en pedestrians who lost his life was intoxicated, and one of each ton motorists was in the same condition These figures deal only with the fa talities of intoxicated pedestrians and drivers, not the number of persons killed by intoxicated drivers, nor the number of accidents due to the intoxication of either the pedestrian or the driv er The problem of the intoxicated drivers and pedestrians is difficult of solution. Campaigns of education on rules and regulations by scores of cities have helped to reduce traffic accidents materially, but such accidents due to alcohol seem to be beyond the effects of education and flu i.m it, the fusl because the victim for the time has largely lost control of his faculties, and Oivoncl i each ol the law tor several rea sons. among which are inability of police in many cases to prove intoxication on the part of the person accused, and reluctance of jur ies to convict responsible citizens who admit having been drinking, but deny having im bibed ton much. A three-year study on a nation-wide scale reported to the Safety Congress points to sim ple scientific tesls of determining the amount of alcohol in the blood, as a hope of removing the intoxicated pedestrian and driver from traf fic. With an increase since 1933 of 90 per cent of women who enter the Kerb Institute for treat ment of alcoholism, and a proportionate num ber of men going to that institute, for example, the solution of materially reducing the number <'f intoxicated persons in traffic is highly to be desired II takes a lot of pluck for a woman to keep her eyebrows in shape Louisville Times.
