.AN ECONOMIC SITUATION ' , '
The situation is similar to that of a" very sick man on whom num-
. erous doctors are attending. No rwo agree on the diagnosis, hut tney.
all agree that he has a very serious malady and that something should
. bo done at once; so we pare his toe-nails and see If that will cure his
maladies. We are stimatd to hairo from eight to eighteen million un-
employed people in this country. According to some . of the political
doctors, It is because we have made so much that these unemployed
people have no Jobs and no pact or parcel in the over-abundance whlcfr
' has been produced;" and the way to help their condition is to make the
food and clothing for which, they are Buffering scarcer and harder to
obtain. ( While we are waiting for this self-evident fallacy o help them
- . they must miserably exist on insufficient doles or hand-outs. A true
economic system would make a people prosperous and happy and ' is
4 intended for that purpose instead of enriching the few and impoverish
- ing the many. ' "
- Among primitive peoples exchange of goods was by barter, but
f this method being slow and bungling, it gave way to a better method
of exchange effectedby goods tickets or money. If goods tickets or
,i money la plentiful exchanges are quickly mad and prices are good fot
labor and Its products. If goods-tickets or money is scarce then tabor
and its products are cheap. Business tagnates. Many people suffer from
- want of necessities and few who own or control ' the monev or irood-
tickets, or the credits of the people, have undue1 power over them and
over labor and Its products. ,
. Is this not a self-evident propositions that If "x" money handles
"y" goods that the amount , of goods be doabled, or say "2y" goods,
should not "x money also be doubled ? ' In other words a scarcity ol
money cripples business so that' industry becomes stagnant If money
is picnuiui Business wives, uur siock oi money is live or six DUlion
dollars. Our, annual interest on debts public and private is estimated to
oe irom nine 10 ten muion aouars. how on earth can the interest ever
. be paid, to say nothing of the principal, when! the interest itself fa
more than double the stack of money? -

;, 4 Mr. Taxpayer look at your 1934 tax recept Here is what you will
find; General county, ; $0.15; County' poll ttax- 80.05; Health,, S0.05;
County debt' service,' S0.6?r Current : expenses, school, county supt-,
' ' 80.07; capital outlay, $0.02; school debt service, $0.37; total $1.40. One
dollar and forty cents on the one hundred dollars worth of propertjf. As
you will see $1.06 of this $1.40 is called debt service. Say it doesn't hurt
- like this .because it is Impolite to call it interest. But who' gets this
$1.06?. Of. course the patriot, who has the money; to invest to out
. bonds for what ever price he has a mind to pay, gets it v
h Is this fine business? 4 The county needs money. To get It, the
... county issues bonds and sells them in the open market, to some bond
" broker. Fifty thousand dollars in bonds selling them for eighty centr
' on the dollar would bring forty thousand dollars. Say they bear four
per cent Interest and mature in twenty years In which time the in
terest will amount to forty thousand, the amount of money we eceiv
. ed from the bond broker for the bonds; and how we have the face ol
. tho bonds, fifty thousand dollars to pay to . the bond holder making
i ninety thousand Jie has had from the county while the county has had
forty thousand dollars from the bond holder. Nice business is it not?
For whom? Is it any wonder pur school trucks, are crowded ' to to
limit with children and driven by boys and girls whd cannot ..control
; the occupants of the bus? We should - have mature responsible ' met
drivers paid a living wage. We should have, trucks enough to transport
'. the children in safety and comfort, but we'have not the money.' The
taxpayers are Already over-burdened with taxes. But hotf can it ever
be different until our monotary system' is 'changed ? No wonder our
. roads are not kept up. on the accqunt of insufficient machinery and be
' cause we are not able to finance it But still' out of every $1.40 .tax
money we pay, $1.06 of 4t goes to the bond holder and $0-34 of It goes
to the expense vf keeping our county affairs trying to funptlon.-R. a.

By D. J. Blalock -
: Few of us there are who do not
think about or celebrate St Val
entine's day, the 14th of February.
Yet amid all our materialistic
formalty, most of us 'lose sight of
the origin of the occasion and do
not take , time to recall the reason
for Its observance. ,
t It Is well worth, . remembering,
for toe story of toe ' sympathetic
and romantic priest, Valentine, is
yne of toe most beautiful, tradi
tions that have come down to us
through the centuries 3. toe guise
(ft an annual custom. ,- .
While" there, are other versions of 1.
the origin of toerday, 'this story
leems 10 noia iirst place m popu-
larity and appears to be. the most
authentic:'.' V . -a- .-
The incidents occurred during
the years when . : Claudius, an
smperor, ruled over Rome. ..Not
very far from his imposing palace
was a beautiful cathedral where
lived a priest who was admired as
greatly as Claudius waa" disliked.
This priest's name was ' .Valen
tine. He was very kind to every
one, and especially fond of young
men and maidens. He took great
lelight to being their friend; and
because of his love for; and inter-1
istto," toe young people, couples.
wouia come to turn rrom far and
aear to have, him unite them. In
marriage. ' -fJ'ijii'-ir.
In those daya, ;. too, ; Christians
ivere persecuted and Valentine was
jo Charitable toward them that it
jreatly offended toe government
J, During toe reign of this Roman
smperor,. Claudius. Ciere were'
many wars. His people grew weary
51 iignting and he had a hardUme
getting men to serve as soldiers. :
The married ones did not want to
leave their wives and children, and
the young men did not want to;
'eave thair sweethearts. . ' '
Thin mail rMaiilno : mn aimn.
that he announced that no more
marriages should take place dur
ing the period of War, and that all
Jxisting i engagements between
foung people should be broken. .
Valentine did not approve of the
emperor's decree,' and toe young
oeople themselves seriously ob
jected. ; They continued. to come to
be marriedf and whien :; Claudius
learned that Valentine v still was
oerforming ceremonies and disre
garding the law, he had toe priest
thrown Into a- dungeon. , r '
wane to prison, we are told:
Valentine became a convert to
Christianity and restored the sight
of the Jailer's blind daughter.
TUBre are two versions of his
death: one, that he died front lack
of food and fresh air; the other;
that he was stoned to death by a
mob inspired by Claudius. Both
seem, to agree that he was buried
On thB 14th Of irphmarv unit that-
ever since, th ay has been, call
ed St Valentine's Day. . . ; !
wnen we consider that there
were no printing presses until
1477 ,and no books except- hand
written scrolls, we.cari wonder how I
rt is, tnat traditions and history
have bean preserved for us'as well
as they have. ,
But the 14th of February Is now
a regular gala giving day. Fach
year marks an increase in Hie sale
of Valentine gifts, which m y be
