FARMERS SHOWING US
H\t) OCT Of THE DESERT.
i
.. vw v! would do well to take a (
lesion from the farmers of the
county just now. It is springtime,
arm that means time for planning and
planting a crop and crops for harv- t
est lli:.' summer ami l'all. There has (
neve i before been such activity on
the farms of Transylvania county as |
that witnessed this season. From the f
apt. ai'ance of ^-erything, there will
not ':h- a fence corner left in idleness (
this year.
. iuess men, boarding house and ,
hot ' keepers and property owners
ha\iug places for lease during the ,
su. ,i:iv r season, would do well to look j
to the preparations being made by
the fanner. We can no more have a
good 1 1: Iness season here this sum
mer. f.- m a tourist standpoint, with
out preparation and proper planning
than a farmer can have a crop with
out first preparing the soil, planting
the seed, tending the plant and reap
ing the harvest.
it is good to see this great activity
on the farms. Little by little our
farmers* arc adding to their livestock,
and this is the finest mark of in
creased wealth. There can be no suc
cessful farming where there is no
live.-tock. This har. long been an ac
vepre ! principle of agriculture. Be
fore many years there will be an
abundance of livestock roaming these
hills, and when that day comes, the;e
wiil be an abundance of wealth
among the farmers of the county.
Julian Glazener and J. F. Corbin,
teach' rs of vocational agriculture in
Brevard and Rosman, are mighty
forces in this agricultural progress
beirir made in the county.
Et.l.i'TRIC CHAIR CLAIMS ITS
VH'TIMS IX PENNSYLVANIA.
I'p at Bellfonte, Pa., last Monday
m?'i..lnv, the great state of Pennsyl
vania took Irene Schroeder and \V.
(iiinn Dague, shaved their heads,
plae< . them in a chair, strapped their
arms and legs to the chair, and then
turned electricity upon them until
they were pronounced dead. They had
killed a highway patrolman, and, un
der our laws, must pay for their
crin;. with their lives. They wrote a
lei let to theii attorneys, asking that
no further effort be made to have
tin : ? sentences changed to life im
prisonment, as they preferred death
to life imprisonment.
.Some day historians will write
about- such electrocutions, and people
in that day will shudu. and wonder
how a Christian nation could be so
barbarous as to electro: te men and
women.
There is little sympathy, however,
for the unfortunate pair. They went .
out of their way to kill a man. Had ;
they been at home, each one at that '
one's own home, there would have ' ,
been no dead highway patrolman, nor J
?would there have been any eleetrocu-1"
tion at Bellfonte early last Monday.
This pair felt cocky, impressed with
their own importance, and sallied i
forth to do their will. A highway 1
patrolman was in the way, and they
slew him. They simply acted the 1 c
fool, and now the families of the t
slain officer, of the woman and of her 1 c
| C
male companion, must go through, J
life with this taint and stain, trouble a
and heartache, the innocent really 1 j
paying the price for the crime of the j?
guilty.
So it is with all murders. Some c
one acts the fool, and a killing re- ^
? 'suits. Some one decides to lord it *
? ? I ?
over another, or takes a violent dis- u
like to some one, and decides he must C
beat that one up, and, as a result a J d
killing follows, and then the families ^
of the killed and the killer must pay ' 0,
tie penalties in the ensuing years of j
suffering, the years and years that ?
follow, filled with heartache and ' j
hardship. I b,
How foolish it is for the. state to P
take human life, and how much more f
foolish it is for a fool to start out oh
an errand that is likely to result in,. J
just such tragedy that the state must,
under the law, step in and take bu
im.n life. Our court records are
SUed with the recorded, doings of
these awful souls in hell and 'survi
vors Living lives that are worse than J l''
to". Ig

ATH0L1C CHURCH MAKING {
FFORT TO WIN THIS
ATION-TO ITS FAITH. ,
Protestant America is becoming
roused by the effort of the Catholic i
lurch to "make America Catholic.'' J
his is evidenced by numerous writ- (
i?s and appeals now being made by ,
ading Protestants throughout the ?
ation. No one but he who is wil
jlly blind can deny the fact that
atholics are making a most deter
(ined etrort to place their church in
bsolute control in America. The ex
jnsive broadcasting program of the
latholic church, their publications,
nd the personal work being done by
he church and its organizations all
ioint to a well defined program to ^
take America."
The Catholic church is already ,
casting of the fact that America,
'rotestant in its beginning, >s now
apidly becoming Catholic.
Some American Protestants say:
Well, what of it?"
Well, it simply means annihilation
>f our public school system, for the
"atholic church hates the public
chool, and contends that the Catho
ie church, "the ONE TRUE church
is they call it, should have absolute
jontrol of the education of the youth
>f the land.
It would mean a complete reversal
jf our present form of government.
It would mean a wiping out of the
ivork of Calvin, Wesley, and all of the
pioneers in Protestantism. It would
mean complete and full and final
power of the pope over everything.
One big provison in the program ol
the Catholic church in winning Amer
ica. many leaders believe, is the elec
tion of a Catholic as president of the
United States.
Road the following article that ap
pears in the current issue of '^The
New Age," official magazine of Scot
tish Rite Masonry. It is enlightening.
It follows:
? It is unfortunate that Protestant
itligions and societies in this country
a 10, seemingly forced to defend their
verv existence by counteracting tne
implications, direct accusations ana
taise claims of an organization oper
ating under ecclesiastical banner^
leaked in religious garb and e
working to force people of every
uade of religious belief .0 the sell
iaimed "one true Chinch's" way of
ihinking. But that '.o actually what
tr.king place in America today.
"That Protestantism as a whole ha*
jeen openly challenged was revealed
,o longei ago than last Decenibei
when tae Rev. Francis X. Talbot, S
.)., \i addressing the New York Circle
ol the International Federation ol
Catholic Alumnae, is quoted in the
press as having stated:
f old Protestant cult tire w about
at the end of its rope. J' he first set
rters of our country esra btisheu tin t
distinctly Protestant culture, being
chief lu from Protestant countries, s i
: nut our history from the beginning
of the republic has been predomin ?
lintly non-Catholic. It has given the
complexion to the country, entered out
I egislation , sociology and economies, w
the basin of our commerce and indus
try and, in fact, has formed v. Ijrcat
part of the American people. For one
hundred and fifty years the Protest
a tit element was strongest, and we ad
mit it.
This Christian culture is a wave
receding, and we Catholics are. living
in 1 1 most important day, with one
culture vanishing; another gaining
strength . . . Why can't we wake
the United States Catholic in legisla
tion, Catholic in justice, aims and
ideals ! We are the greatest numeric
ally in the country, strong and grow
ing in the arts and education. We are
now ready to expand. Now is the time
tor small groups like this to organ
ize and strike hard to put the Cath
olic idea before all.
(Xciv York World, Dec. 14, 1930.)
"These statements, startling as they
appear, are not new to one who has
kept abreast of Catholic thought as
contained in the publications of the
hierarchy and laity. For years Pro
.cstant writers have pointed to the
landwriting on the wall and have en
leavored to awaken the American
ion-Catholic people to an obvious
langer looming ahead.
"Catholic insistence was never so
ironounced as at the present time ;
Datholic claims (or boasts) never so
irrogant ; Catholic culture never so
iggressive. The democratic institu
ions of the nation have been assailed;
he freedom of the press threatened;
he public school system condemned as
;odless; freedom of speech subjugated
>y threats of violence, boycott, etc.,
"nd more than one man has been
ailed for daring to circulate what he
elieved to be an authentic oath of a
latholic secret society.
"The press stage and screen have
ome under the close supervision and
ensojrship of the Roman Church.
Ion-Catholic religions have been flay
d from the pulpit and in the col
mns of the religious press Anti
'atholic orders have been split asun
er, and lecturers, many of whom
'ere former members of som?t. sacred
rder of the Catholic Church, have
een mobbed and assaulted
"Thus a persistent and aggressive
rogram is being followed by the
atholics, not only at home, but ;
aroad, and in the latter connection

rotestant -religions are not tolerated,

"While the papal encyclical on ed- t
ucation did not seriously upset the
equnimity of many Americans, the
Supreme Council, Ancieijt and Ac
cepted Scottish Rite of the Southern t
jurisdiction, was awake to the ac- f
tual and potential dangers of the sit
uation and at its Dallas Session
adopted ringing resolutions solidly i
supporting the American public <
school and voicing its disapproval of ,

the conduct of our public school af

"There has been published, as a
distinctly Masonic duty, an interest

preme Council's resolutions and rela

pass it on to an interested brother
Mason or to someone outside 9f the
Fraternity. (If extra copies are need

carefully and intelligently by the re
cipients, not only as Scottish Rite
Masons but as citizens of the United

AN AWFUL INJUSTICE TO
AN HONORABLE MAN. '
Brother Dan Tompkins, wielder of
the mighty pen which gives to the
world that inimitable Jackson County
Journal, has, unintentionally we be
lieve, done violence to the good name
of an exceptionally good man. And
the fact that Brother Dan published
the same editorial in two consecutive
issues of his paper makes the matter
all the more serious.
The Jackson County Journal was
commenting upon the appointment of
Hon. Charles A. Jonas to tbe_ high
office of United Stales District At
torn? -j ; succeeding Hon. Thomas J.
llarkins, resigned, and said:
So far as we have been able to see,
Mr. Harkiiis has been making a most
acceptable district attorney. He is
popular in Western North Carolina.
The Democrats like him, although he
is u Hepublican oj the Kepulilicuns.
j All of which makes us wonder just
, hole, why, etc., when the sprint; time
began to come ( Gentle Annie), and
i with it the end of the term of the
i Honorable Charles A. Jonas, in the
' Congress of the United States, Mr.
' Harkins should have developed an
; urge to quit the office lie was hold
ing, and why, almost immediately,
i Mr. Jonas was appointed to it, effec
r tire two days before the tour oj
i March! People up in this parts of the
t district, at least, prefer the distin
guished Mr. ti uric ins. Hut a roost
J must be prepared for lame ducks,
. and Mr. Hark ins is perfectly capable
o/ making a good living without a
, public office.
We most heartily agree with all
i that Editor Tompkins says about
? Thos. J. Harkins. lie is popular. He
is capable. People who know him,
like him, regardless of political affil
iation, and he is most worthy of every
friendship, every good opinion, every
good word, that he possesses 91- that
is held for him or has been said
about him.
But the insinuations that Mr.
Jonas needs a job in order to make a
living is preposterous, and must have
been made by Mr. Tomkins in a mo
ment of thoughtlessness. Charles A.
Jonas is a most capable man, and
has rendered service! to North Caro
lina equalled by but few men. He
did more for his congressional dis
trict, than all the congressmen pre
ceding him. Mr. Jonas is one of the
outstanding lawyers of North Caro
lina, and could make "a good living"
in the practice of his profession in
any city in this state or in any other
state.
Because Mr. Jonas wijs "defeated"
in the last eleetion does not place him
in the "lame duck cla^" al all.
There are many who believe that Mr.
Jonas was elected last November, and
denied his rightful place because of
that sweet weapon so generally used,
known as the Absentee Voters Law. It
may develop that Mr. Jonas will have
opportunity to display his great abil- j
ity as a lawyer in the prosecution of ^
some of the election thieves who so ,
dearly love the Abesntee Voters Law,
and its easy manipulation in the pur-1
pose of, defeating popular demands. j
Wouldn't it be the irony of fate if (
Mr. Jonas should have occasion to ^
display his ability in the prosecution ij
of some of the close personal and ^
political friends of Editor Tomkins? g
That would be a lame duck story with c
different feathers, wouldn't it? I j
You good people have been most *
iberal in your donations to charity . ^
luring the winter months. But the
eaders of the Associated Charrities
ell us that the need is still acute, and
hat there is much suffering. We can- c]
lot stop now. Farmers with food- S
tuff that can be spared will render ?
eal service by making donation to cj
he Charities board. c
VHAT YOU GOING TO DO
VHEN PAY-DAY COMES ?
Once again we call attention to the
act that time is passing, and, as yet,
iothing has been done in the way ot o
jetting summer people here for our ?
ommunity pay-day in July and Aug- *
ist. It is now almost springtime, j
ind no action at all has been taken 011 c
his important matter.
Is the town so absolutely dead that J
10 concerted action can be taken on J
;he one important matter of bringing j
lummer folks here?
What else will relieve this commur.- ]
ity, except that relief which can i
;ome only through a good summer j
season? ,
How are we to have a good summer
unless we make some effort to bring
the summer people to this com
munity?
The farmers are doing their part.
Every foot of tillable land in the |
county is being plowed, preparatory |
to planting crops.
The camps are busily engaged in
filling their lists for the camping]
season.
All has been done along industrial
lines that can be done now, and suc
cess has crowned the efforts of those
who have worked so diligently in this
field.
But what about the tourist business,
the ?ne best bet for ready cash this
summer?
Where is our Chamber of Com-]
merce?
Are the men to sit idly by during
another season, and let the women do
the work? ,
Wake up, you good old scouts, and
get the old fire back in your eyes, and
the old pep that once was so mani
fest here, and let's get to work for
this community.
EASY PICKINGS GONE, IF
SIGNS MEAN ANYTHING.
i History is being made down at
Raleigh, where the spotlight is being
turned upon county and municipal
governments. Regardless of all else
?that -may* oy jjw not- ^ done, one
thing is being acco5/S$fehed that will
mean much to the future t'le s'ate'
the counties and the municipalities
this old commonwealth ^ ^as
with county and tow" governments.
For a great many tfears now it has
been the custom ^/cliques and clans
to obtain a hold onv .county or town
government, and gouge tbe public to
the quick. When sufficient money
could not be raised by taxation, then
the gang in power would soli\ some
county or town bonds, fill the tTU?1"
ury, hire their kin folks for one j"'J
and another, and go merrily on ?neir
way. Usually, some squarehead who
could not make a living in the com
petitive field of his activities, became
the leader of the gang and establish
ed a dictatorship, bossing the town or
county in much the same manner that
a convict boss wields his power over
the gang. It has been no rarethkig
to see half a dozen members of one
family in a small town government
on that town's payroll.
Queerest of all twists and turns in
connection with this system has been
the fact that the gang having full
reins in public affairs has assumed
the position of owning the town or
county which such gangs had in their
itchy palms. But things are chang
ing now, and the public, always siow
to turn yet a most determined factor
when it does turn, is now putting the
screws to the gangs and cliques and
self-appointed bosses of public busi
ness. Hereafter, the pathway of
these grif{ers and grafters is not to
be so rosy. Old Man Public is now
saying to them : "If you work for me,
you are my servant, and I am your (
boss. You must make report of alii
activities to proper authorities in [
your state government, and you can
not ever again issue bonds and exe
cute notes unless and until you ob
tain the okay from men ? who must
know4 that said notes and bonds arc
an absolute necessity."
Yes, the day of the little swelled-up.
big-headed, self- appointed public
"boss'' is dying. He belongs to the
race of vanishing men, and tax pay- j
ers will be relieved when he is gone:
for he has done more than all other
influences to cause taxes to increase
to the back-breaking point now exper
ienced.
Eighteen men have been indicted by
;he Buncombe county grand jury in

irs, a mayor and two city commis

POKING FUN AT } (
MRS. McKEE
????? v
( Greensboro New*)
It was observed yesterday morning, I
f the taxation bill introduced by a
Senator McKee, that it evidences a
willingness on th<> part of the senator
o accept her share of the respongibil- f
t for a taxation shift she had fav-U;
ired, and to that extent is commend- [j
ible. The Daily News was not then g
ind is not a day later prepared to 0
wsert the bill is a bad one. It must
>e judged as a whole; and the possi-L
rilities of amendment must be taken I ^
nto consideration.
A part of what the senator pro- 1 j
poses to the general assembly is that ,
it levy a tax on water ;H20; presum- i
ibly, drinking, cooking and washing.
The general assembly might levy a .
worse tax than that
The window tax has been common- ,
ly considered as the most unwise in '
principle and the. most oppressive in .
fact imposed in any civilized country
since the dark ages. It is a tax on ,
God's free air, whose gases are neces- (
sary to sustain life; on His free sun- j
shine, whose chemicals are necessary
to the health of human beings and '
especially children; on His free light,1
the tonic of the spirit. Whereas a
water tax is merely a tax on clean- J
liness. There is possibly a great deal .
of nonsense in the present-day clean- 1
liness preachment and practice. Be
that as it may, it seems clearly dem-|i
onstrable that except for the small J
amount used for drinking, which!
would hardly count in any taxation |
scheme, air and sunlight are much
more necessary than water.
The taxers might do worse than to
tax water. " But not much worse.
MRS. McKEE'S UNJUST BILL
( Aahcville Advocatc)
Because of the multiplicity of in
terests involved it would be impossible
to propose any new form of tax rev- 1
enue that would meet with the ap- 1
proval of everybody.
There is no form of painless taxa-1
tion unless it is that paid by joyriders
on gasoline, and so every new pro-'
posal that is dumped into the legisla
tive hopper' at Raleigh brings forth a
storm of protest from one quarter or
another.
Now it is Mrs. McKee, the lady
senator from Jackson county, who
would have the multitudes showering
down to the tune of five per cent oil
j their gas, electricity, water, telephone,
"and other utilities."
Heaven knows that these bills are
high enough already, and mortals
here below know that the users of
gas, electricity, telephones "and other
utilities" grow less every day.
In other words the utilities are
bearing about all the charge that the
traffic will stand without reflecting an
ever-lessening use of 'these commodi
j ties.
Ask the telephone people how many
people have given up their phones
during the past two years. Ask the
gas people and the electric people how
I consumption is falling off among do
;iTK'stic users. Asheville water rates
i are too high already and higher rates
fail to bring in more revenues. In
fact the reverse is the case.
^ And yet Mrs. McKee ? and many
lifce her ? would levy a five per cent
tax' against these commodities, a levy
whicfc >s not K?ing to be paid out of
the ptfQkets of stockholders in the cor
poration8 but will come out of the
dwindling earnings of old Mr. Ulti
mate Con?umc as sure as shootin'.
A tax leV>' on utilities has the same
defect as i*ny consumption tax ? the
little man p^J's more in proportion.
I The smaller the income a family
has, naturally. 'be larger the percent
i of that income must go for the neecs
' sities of life. \This makes any tax
'on consumption Lgreater in proportion
upon the lowly A*10" ul)on those more
fortunately be"sto?ved with this world's
; goods. v
i One wonders 4 bo legislative,
grist hasn't been Swamped with bills
| that would remove ,the tax exemption
I from foreign and di?m.cst'c securities!
jit would be a move* 'n the direction |
opposite to that whio^ the bulk of so
called tax relief has. taken so far.
And so the Legislature flounders
and flounders, and ap]\ears no nearer
anything that looks ifke tax relief
than it was in the beginning.
The 1931 assembly sterns to have
become a sort of trainiityf school in
taxation for the legislator many of
whom have learned all \they have
learned (if anything at ft") since,
taking up their temporary \abodc in
Raleigh.
CONDEMNS MRS. McKEETS BILL
(Lexington Dispatch) '
A proposal has been made in the
legislature that a tax be placed on
11 water, electric and gas bills paid
y consumers. It is a proposal that
eserves to die a death of ignominy,
or it would be class legislation of
he rankest, meanest and narrow sort,
f there must be sales taxes let them
o where they will not merely fall on
ne group.
Thf domestic consumer pays the
op price for current for lighting his
louse and for gas used in cooking
he meals of his family. The major
ty of this class are composed of
Iwellers in small homes that have
teen taxed higher than perhaps any
ither class of property. These homes
>ear the full brunt of both county and
nunicipal taxes. There is no calling
ror passing more of the general burd
>n of taxation there, to the exclus
on of those who may use other meth
)ds of lighting, heating or cooking,
rhe electric light long ago passed out
>f the luxury class, and so has the
lse of gas for domestic purposes. And
sure water has never Keen a luxury.
CAN'T TAX WEALTH
( Gastonia Gazette)
Josephus Daniels is making a brave
and determined fight for Governor
Gardner's road and school legisla
tion. The News and Observer con
tends that the money can be found to
finance both the schools and roads
without having to tax real estate.
It points to the great amount of
intangibles in foreign corporations
and to the immense profits returned
by the cigarette, tobacco and soft
drink industries as sources from
which all the money needed to finance
both the roads and schools, could be
secured. The News and Observer
says:
Uncle Sam collects $231,576,998
yearly from the cigarette companies,
'which increased their earnings last
year sixteen million dollars by paying
the farmers eighteen million dollars
less for their tobacco. And yet North
Carolina cannot secure reasonable tax
from them to help carry on its six
months school.
One power company poured 2,000
per cent of water into its stock and
all of them are earning big money on
watered stock. And yet North Caro
lina cannot secure reasonable tax
from them to help carry on its six
months school.
The soft drink concerns, at least the
big ones, are making millions. Al
ready the News and Observer has
printed the earnings of the cigarette
companies in North Carolina. The
jNew York World of Sunday has the
! following:
j "Another record breaking year was
I shown by the Coca-Cola Company's
annual report for 1930, placed in the
mails last night. Net profits were
$13,515,536 after deduction of federal
'income taxes and all operating charg
es. This represents an increase of
3.6 per cent in earnings per share on
[the common stock over 1929.
i And yet we are told it will never do
to assess any reasonable tax on soft
I drinks. "It would ruin the industry
! of the state" is the psrrot cry.
| Unless such big paying concerns
pay their share of taxes the bent
backs of land owners will be broken,
j Either big concerns making this
'money .must pay more taxes or more
'counties like Chatham will sell 1,000
tracts of land at the court house door
[for non-payment of taxes.
GOOD FOR MORRISON
Ruthcrfordton Xcict
Senator Cameron Morrison is tak
ing a dry stand in the Senate. His
"tilt" with Senator Tydings of Mary
land Monday showed that he has not
'lost his "fire and vim."
Senator Morrison is right. The
South will not support a wet candi
date for President. The South is dry
and is likely to remain so.
Senator Morrison is also right in
stating that Chairman John J. Ras
kob of the Democratic National Com
mittee must "come down." Raskob has
been a drawback to the party and
should resign. Morrison is right
when he says: "Raskob is the monu
mental mistake of the last Democratic
candidate for president." His over
whelming defeat showed that some
thing was wrong.
The News congratulates Senator
Morrison on his dry and Raakob
stand.
