tThe Smithfield Herald
Yesterday I saw a truck load of household
and kitchen furniture pass through town—
jpne of numerous such loads which at this
season of the year indicate that the owner
of the household effects is changing his
landlord.
one truck held the whole housekeep
ing outfit from a bundle of straw brooms
to the beds and kitchen stove. I don't won
der that one truck was sufficient, for if I
had to move often a bed and stove and a
itraw broom would be about all I would
want. I have moved just once in my life,
and I did not have much to move at that,
but it took weeks afterwards to find some
of the things that had been packed up for
ihoving.
. If I were a tenant farmer I should want
to be one like Mr. Will Price, who stayed
31 years on the same farm. Then if I
planted a rose bush I would be sure of see
ing it bloom; or if I set out a pecan tree I
woyld know I was going to eat nuts off that
tree. And when I finally did leave I'd hope
it would be like Mr. Price, to my own "vine
and fig tree."
No doubt there are benefits in moving
from one farm to another. If a fellow rents
rocky land this year, he doesn't have to
stay with it; he can leave it for sandy soil
of some other farm. If he finds wire grass
in the sandy land, lie can move on to an
other place, even though that may be in
fested with nut grass. If the house leaks
and the landlord won't repair it, he can
pick out another landlord, even though his
bouse may be in no better fix. If one gets
mad with his neighbors he can choose other
** neighbors next year.

FOR THE PLANTERS' PROGRAM
AWAY FROM DEMOCRACY
News and Observer
A special committee of Democrats, named
to consider necessary reforms in the State
election laws and to recommend changes to
the State Democratic Executive Committee, i
has come forth with the amazing sugges
tion that the best way to insure the will
of the people in primary elections is to take
away from the people the power to elect.
The committee limited its suggestion in
departure from primary elections to Super
ior Court judges and solicitors and for this
departure gave as excuse the idea that as
judicial officers they should be relieved fromj
the necessity of engaging in political cam
paigns. A similar reasoning would end the
election of judges in North Carolina at the
very time when the people of the nation
are cramped by the restraining bonds of a
Supreme Court which is appointed for life
and so free from responsibility to the peo
ple.
Any move away from the primary system
in North Carolina is a move away from de
mocracy. Certainly, as every one knows, the
primary system is not free from fault. But
primaries never would have succeeded con
ventions if conventions had been perfect in
struments for the expression of the people's
will. Turn backward in North Carolina at a
time when men are looking forward in self
government should be resisted by all peo
ple who are interested in their right to gov
ern themselves and to choose the men who
will govern them.
The people of North Carolina are inter
ested in cleaning up their elections, not in
abolishing them.
WORK OF NEW DEAL, IT'S JUST BEGUN
Union Herald
Harry Payne Whitney, New York banker
of Standard Oil affiliations, sportsman and
race-horse lover, died in October, 1930. He
left an estate whose net value was stated
a few days ago to be $63,250,000. The fur
ther interesting fact was mentioned that
this estate had increased in value $4,245,000
since Whitney's death, or a gain averaging
more than $700,000 a year straight through
the heart of the depression.
The fact that a dead millionaire's millions
grow at such a pace is a pretty complete
answer to the claim that great wealth is the
reward of great personal qualities. Great
wealth, nineteen times out of twenty, la the
fruit of privilege; and the Wlritney privi
leges were so potent that they went on
heaping up the fortune after the personal
' ity had been entirciy withdrawn.
There is another interesting side to this
story. The Harry Payne Whitney fortune i
had a net income of more than $700,000 a
year through the depression. The Brook-;
ings "Institute reports that before the de
pression, in the prosperous year of 1929,
nearly 6,000,000 families in the United
States had gross incomes of less than $l,OOO
a year each. The net income of those 6.000,-
000 families was just about nothing at all.
Add to these items the further fact that
Harry Payne was by no means the richest
of the Whitneys; that one of this family,
Payne Whitney, left a net estate of about
$200,000,000; and you have a fair illustra
tion of the injustice of the present distri
bution of the national income.
Is the work of the New Deal finished?
It's just begun.
I
We think no more important legislation
will be laid before the legislature than the
tobacco compact bill. We hope care and at
tention will be given to it by both houses.
