JSO Foreign Advertising RepreaentatlTs AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Now York City Entered it the PoatoJBce at Lontsburg, N. C. ma second ? -I- -f elm mail matter. Chief of Police C. El Pace suggests that if every per son in Louisburg would walk to their places of business and thereby leaving their automobiles at home instead of bringing them down the street and parking them it would assist greatly in solving the parking problem. To this could be a<|ded the suggestion that if automobile dealers and salesmen would display their cars in their salesroom rather than use the streets for display purposes it, also would lend a helping hand in solving the parking problem and add to the convenience of the trading pub lic. It is hardly reasonable to believe the resident, nf Louisburg will feel like leaving his or her car at home while salesmen occupy the streets for parking, and it is equally reasonable for those outside of Louisburg to feel that their trade is not wanted, when they find th? desirable parking spaces in town occupied continually by town cars. It looks to us this is a question the people of Louisburg should be ajixious and Enthusiastic to solve. ~ * * w ^ 1 w ???"' ? ??? ? ?? ? ? FREE SPEECH IN THE SENATE Senator Huey Long of Louisiana, by an eleventh hour filibuster, prevented the third Deficiency Bill from coming to a vote before the Senate adjourned. That prevented any appropriation of funds for several im portant new measures, particularly the Social Security Act, which must wait until next year, when Congress meets again, before it can be put into operation. A loud howl is heard from many quarters, demand ing that the rules of the Senate, permitting unlimited debate, should be changed. "We have heard exactly the same kind of howl many times before, and we expect to hear them many times in the future, particularly, when somebody's pet legislation has been killed or held up by a filibuster. But we have no expectation that the present Senate, or any of its successors, will adopt a cloture rule. The Senate of the United States differs from any other legislative body In the world. Its members are the direct representatives of free, independent and, with cer tain limitations, sovereign states. In the Senate, as no where else, all States are equal. No matter how silly some of the antics of some Senators may seem, every one of them realizes that he is, in a sense, an ambassador of his State. To deprive him of the right to speak when ever he pleases, for as long as he pleases, on any subject which pleases him, would be an affront to the state he represents. Moreover, the Senate makes its own rules, and eveiy Senator realizes that lie, too, may some day be limited in debate. It takes a two-third vote to change a Senate rule. We doubt that 64 Senators will ever agree to a rule that would permit the forcible stoppage of their vocal efforts. Free speech and a free press are guaranteed by the Constitution to all citizens. Shall the Senate of the United States be singled out for censorship ? Perish the thought! THE TAX TANGLE The subject of taxation is uppermost in the minds of all who have anything that can be taxed. It will in evitably become an even more absorbing subject of every day discussion. We seldom .find two persons in agreement on this matter of taxation, except on one point. There is un animous agreement that something is wrong with our 1 tax systems, local, state and national. With that general agreement as a starting point, it seems as if it ought to be possible to arrive somewhere, but instead of getting better, the-whaU tax situation seems to get worse. What is fundamentally wrong with it is, of course, politics. Our political system is built on taxes. Parties are organized a?d maintained on the strength of public patronage^^Sribh is a polite way of saying, jobs for tax eaters. The more jobs, the stronger the party organiza tion. Nobedj* knows how much of our tax burden is due to conniving . politicians seeking to intrench themselves in office, bo4?4vtainly a great deal of the taxation has, actually, no other purpose. There is nothing that can be called an intelligent or scientific systam4>f taxation in effect anywhere in Ameri ca, that we know of. It seems to us that it should be possible at leAtft Ho mark off the fields of taxation that might be ""piUIff'M1 by different governmental tinitg. It does not seem right to have Federal, state, county, town ship and municipal taxef overlapping, each politiwjl-iinit trying to .extract blood from the same turnip. There is a great opportunity for real statesmanship, as distinguished from ^opportunist politics, in the effort to so redistribute taxation that it will bear fairly on all and not too heavily on anybody. ' But the man who un IX. THE BIL L OF RIGHTS The Constitution could not takei effect until it bad been ratified by conventions in at least nine of the thirteen States. Delaware was the first to ratify. Pennsylvania was next, New Jersey third, all in 1787. By the middle of 1788, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachu setts, Maryland, South Carolina and New Hampshire had given their sanctions, and the Federal Government was at last actually in existence. Virginia and New York ratified later in the same year. The feeling that the rights of the Statea were not sufficiently protected was so strong that the vote for ratification was very close in many States. Little Rhode Island refused even to call a rati fication convention until assur ances were given that immediate amendments would be made to further protect State independence and the rights of cltixens. The result of this was the submission of the BO-called "Bill ef Rights," constitution, the first eleven u menaments to the Constitution. A a things turned out, these a mendments were as important as the ftcople of many of the States bj?liax#d they w?re. Most Impor tant df all of them Is Article I. * "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of re ligion, or prohibiting the free ex ercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peace ally to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." OH- Article I rest the liberties which the people of America have enjoyed from the beginning of our .Nation and still enjoy. Rely- i Ihg upon the Constitutional guar anty of freedom of religion, ofJ; * speech and of the press, and the right of assembly and petition, the citizens of the United States have successfully resisted innumerable efforts to limit their freedom. The other most Important arti cle of the Bill 01 Rights, is Article X. 'The powers not delegated to the United States by the Consti tution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively or to the people." ? The right of the people to keep and bear arms, to be secure against unreasonable search and seizure and arrest without war- j rant, .and to a speedy and public triaUwhen accused of crime are among the guarantees sought and given in the Bill of Rights. Here in was established the principle that no person can be twice put! in jeopardy for. the same offence, nor compelled to be a witness against himself, or deprived of j life, liberty or property without I due process Of law. The principle that private prop erty may not be taken for public 1 use without just compensation is laid down here as is the prohibi tion of the excessive ball and cruel and unusual punishments. And to make It doubly certain that all natural rights not specifically de legated should be preserved. Article IX of the Bill of Rights says: "The enumeration in the Con stitution of certain rights shall not be construed to (^eny. or dis parage others retained by the peo ple." The Bill of Rights was speedily ratified by all the States, and the new nation was off, in 1789, to an auspicious start, with Oeorge Washington elected unanimously as its first President.
