Our nation was born of a tax dispute, and discon tent and argument over taxes lias always been an American porogaiivi'. Sometimes, though, we overdo it, even in these tax-oppressed days. A statistician, figuring out that the .ve rajje taxpayer in this country works one day a week for the tax collectors, makes a fine story about it. Hut if its so, is it really so bad as everybody thinks? What do we et for our taxes? police .'pro tection; .'-.''Fire protection. Schools, Libraries. Parks streets and highways, street lights, sewers, garbage collection, courts in which to maintain our rights. Government local, state anl national and all its manifold activities and services without which our modern society could not function. National defense. And many other benefits. We might even say na tional patriotism, because without the thing cur taxes, pay'-, f'-r we could not be a civilized organic nation. Maybe, aft rr all, all this is really worth one i lav's work a week. Fx. SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT .Mr. 0. (). Maelntyre, noted New York col'-, miii-iist, recently handed the' country press a bouquet when he said: "Much of the best stull written in American newspapers reaches only a limited audience. This is because it is turned out for country weeklies and small town dailies. It is a pity that more of it is not syndicated. "There are very few smart alec writers or exploiters of the personal pronoun among them. Tlu.v write deeply, if impersonally, of the things they feel. They are interested and believe in the triumph of right, the church and dignity of good citizenship. "They run clean as the wind of their native hills or the waters of their local streams. I commend to any newspaper reader fed up with shocking crimes, blackmail, law suits and Hauptmann trials a careful persual of their home town paper. "Many of the homely little personals may offer a comic touch, but no more so than a city society scribbler's rave that the debutante Miss Gwendolyn Smith-Park is singing hotcha songs in a decadent night club. Or that Lovely Lacey of the chorus walked a baby lamb up the ave nue on a platinum leash." Ex. It seems to us tiiat is falling down on the job of letting weeds grow so tall right on the highways. Not only are they unsightly, but dangerous, in that it makes the highway appear narrow and causes motorists to drive nearer the center of the road which often re sults in head-wi collisions. With all the rain that we have had in this section this year the weeds have grown faster than usual. If the 5,657 post cards which were sold here Saturday are mailed out all over the country there will be no way of determining the vast amount of good which will result from the sale of them. It is our opinion that a repetition of the event be staged in late July or early August would even surpass the sales of last Saturday. At least its. worth thinking about. IT DOESN'T REVOLVE Eight years ago the North Carolina legis lature authorized establishment of a fund of $2,000,000 to be loaned to World War veterans owning real esta;e or to aid them in the pur chase of homes. State bonds were sold and the money made available. It found ready bor lowers. Two years later the legislature autho lized two millions more but the council of state was given authority to cut the amount. It exer cized that authority and sold only $500,000 more bonds. The fund was designed to be a revolving one. Repayment on principal of loans and the payment of a slightly larger rate of interest than the state had to pay for the money was expected to provide funds for making additional loans from year to year, so that the two and a half millions might do service of many times that value. It is revealed now that there has been nothing in the till to make loans with for the past two years. In fact, there has hardly been enough coming in to keep up the state's interest cn the fund, let alone cut down the principal of the loans previously made. Information secured by The News and Observer from the office of the present loan commission is that 1,'M i loans were made. ()t this number 280 have been repaid. The sat'.' loan board has just ordered foreclosure on 2-j more of the approximately 500 loans that are now delinquent in principal and interest. Some of the heaviest borrowers in the past are m'u to be men charged with duties in iidministering' the fund. A former loan commissioner him self is deeply delinquent in principal and inte rest. Two former loan otlicials hiive been fore closed. Consequently it is not strange that liberal practices were followed in putting out the state veterans loan fund. Since it was state monev and designed to aid only a restricted group' the tendency appears to have been to go beyond the bounds of private financing liberality, Just how liberally this fund has been administered seems to be one of the things those now en trusted with the duty of trvmg to salvage a part of the fund to apply toward the state debt are trying to find out. They at least know that the "revolving fund" quit' revolving when if ran out of the original -supply of "grease." Its started again publicity -seeking preachers trying to prove their faith by letting 'rait tie snakes bite them. We have never taken stock in that kind of faith. Onlv this past week, though, two snakes refused to bite a West Virginia preacher who tried to demon strate his faith, which makes us think more of fihe snakes than to be involved in such an affair. In San Fransisco there is a man who claims to be 105 years old. He lays claim to the fact that he has voted for 2t) Republican piesuknK and expects to vote for anothei Some peop'e here in Haywood have often said th.it main oi the absentee votes came from pei mii. that old except they were not living A young man, who has an astoundmi knowledge of women, recenth v as quote 1 as saying, the wildest ones, unlike dd hoi.ses, i, the easiest to pet. A woman reader of. the paper said recently that she can tell by the way a woman carries her baby whether it is her first or fourth. If she carries it as though it would break, its her first. If she carries it as though it were a rain coat, its the foui t h. A problem that confronts every school teacher at some time or other is whether to ap pear before the school board looking "old hen--ish" or "Mae Westish." Of course it was the old fashioned person who said: "The farmers generally keep their stock off the highways, but parents turn their youngsters loose upon the roads every night." Some one has defined the difference be tween a politician anda statesman by saving... that a politician is one who thinks of the next eledtion, and a statesman thinks of the next generation.
