BETTER WATCH OUT j
Scotland Neck Commonwealth
You better watch out or the junk hunt
ers will snatch your stove right out of your ,
kitchen while dinner is being cooked. And ,
those same junk sellers had better watch
out some months hence or they will be run
ning, along with the rest of us innocent
victims, from the metal faster than they
are going for it now.
At first they probably won't recognize
the old scrap boilers, kitchen stoves, plow
parts, car frames and other accessor
ies from head to tail lights, aluminum,
copper, brass, and other metals converted
into shiny implements of war and being us- I
ed ruthlessly in the hands of foriegn pow
ers. The junk seller's lust for .the dollar ,
will be changed to a holler.
People who paid to have "the mess" haul
ed into the woods or to the nearest junk 1
piles a few months or years ago are now 1
paying far more to get it hauled back to
their premises so they can turn it into
filthy lucre from the highest bidder!.
In scouring the country, junk hunters
disregard all property rights and take what ,
they find where they find it, reviving the
Bpirit of the damyankee Carpet Baggers in
the post Civil War days.
Foreign buyers are paying now; all of us
may be paying later .
HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS
The Zebulon Record
By the biggest vote ever given to any
constitutional amendment the Homestead
Tax Exemption was voted by the people in
the last general election. The Legislature
has already voted business men a total of
$1,200 exemptions on holdings: S3OO on mon
ey in hand; S3OO on accounts receivable;
S3OO on notes and mortgages; and S3OO on
foreign stocks. None of these were submit
ted to the people.
Now the home owners ask for a similar
exemption on their homes. The constitu
tional amendment provides for as much as
SI,OOO exemption, but only S3OO is being
asked at this time. We believe this mandate
of the people should be approved. It is
fair and just to grant home owners one ex
emption to 4 for business men. The Leg
islature should provide for this.

LAW \ fc/Kis AND PACKING
News and Observer
Lawyers are opposed to the President's
court plan. The American Bar Association ;
reports that a poll of its members shows 
them 8 to 1 against it, a remarkable ratio,';
which would be even more remarkable _if | J
the members of the American Bar Associa-!;;
tion had not, as The Philadelphia Record
reports, voted in an unofficial poll Ijefore last ;;
November's election 8 to 1 against Roose- •;
velt.
The American Bar Association, which has '!
a Liberty Leaguer for its president, is a ;;
great organization. And in connection with' • •
its present opposition to Roosevelt's court !
plan, it is interesting to recall with Sena- ;
tor McCarran, of Nevada, that in 1921 it ;
advocated increasing the number of Supreme !
Court justices to 11. Perhaps, as Senator ;
McCarran says, "The association may have *
had more confidence in the administration in ■
power at that time, since Warren Harding m
was President and Harry Daugherty was
Attorney-General."
That was when the packing was going
on that preceded the necessary unpacking
now.
MATHEMATICS AS RELATED TO
PRESIDENT'S COURT PROPOSALS
The Union Herald
Judson King, probably America's great-'
est pamphleteer, is out with a brochure
entitled "The Mathematics of Democracy," j
in which he gives very strong support to
President Roosevelt's proposals for reform
of the federal courts. Here are some of
those mathematics:
"Five men on the Supreme Court can now !
block any law passed by a majority of the j
I 531 members of Congress.
"Thirty-three senators can now block the '
submission of an amendment to the Consti-'
tution.
"Representatives of 2,895,237 people, inj
the 13 smallest states, or less than 2.4 per
cent of the 122,775,000 population of the
United States, can block the adoption of
an amendment if submitted."
These figures are absolutely correct. .
They are also rather staggering. But Mr.
King presents a course of action which will
overcome even these obstacles.
President Roosevelt's plan, Mr. King
states, is to freshen the personnel and re
form certain procedures of the federal judi
ciary system so as to get necessary reforms
now.
The liberals in Congress and out who ob
- ject to the President's Plan want an amend-1
« ment to take away from the federal courts
? j legislative powers which they never should
j have assumed. j
3 "Since both these reforms are necessary," 1
- says Mr. King, "why not have both?"
Well, why not? It is the sensible way.
Why not take it?
