C. as second clsss mall matter. " The peace promulgated between Russia and Finland is a signal victory for Hitler over France and Great Britain. 0O0 Thursday, a new weekly newspaper at Winston Salem made its appearance this week. Bill Sharpe, its editor, is to be congratulated for this especially live edi tion, on its entry into the buisiness life of Winston Salem, which, from its many advertisements, is appar ently warmly welcomed. 0O0 The FRANKLIN TIMES extends congratulations to our sister town of Franklinton and to Editor Ted B. Davis for the establishment of the Franklinton Post. The new paper has a neat and live appearance and we hope may serve a great desire and purpose in our midst. It is hoped the business interests of Franklinton will | give it more united cooperation than former enterprises of a similar nature. ooo "Development of primary markets for farm products in North Carolina is an integral plank in the "Balanced Program of Progress" sponsored by A. J. Maxwell in his campaign for the Democratic nomination for Gov ernor." It might be well for him first to provide a me thod under the Crop Control whereby the farmer can diversify so that he will have something to provide mar kets for. 0O0 The March issue of Southern Municipal News carries a ruling from Attorney General Harry McMullan, on publications as follows: "No general law requires publication or notice of Mu- ' nicipal ordinances and in the absence of statutory or charter requirements, no notice would have to be given. The Municipal Finance Act, however, provides for pub lication of bond ordinances. Ordinances initiating re peal, adoption or amendment of a Municipal charter under plans 'A' and 'D' should be published. ANNUAL STATEMENTS OF TAXES MUST BE PUBLISHED AS WELL AS STATEMENTS OF RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS. Notice is necessary where ordi nance is passed to close, demolish, etc., unfit dwellings. Notice of condition declared to be a nuisance and in tended to be abated must be published. An order for condemnation of land must be published. An order or resolution providing for construction, etc., of a sewer age system, and the assessment roll for a sewerage pro ject, must be published. Any ordinance required by the Municipal Corporation Act of 11)17 to be submitted to voters must be published. If the ..charter of the Munici pality provides for publication of the notice, this con trols." Louisburg nor Franklin County have complied with this ruling for many years. Our officers should not ex- i pect the public to be law abiding when they, themselves set the example by not complying with the laws ??ov erning their official acts. WATCH YOUR POCKETBOOK Whenever Bomeone starts a speech or an article with a crack at the "money powers," you can be sure he is about to propose more sweeping government domination of the financial resources of the country. That has been one of the favorite schemes of demagogues in and out of politics for many a year, and it-is still in the limelight. Whoever controls the financial strength of a nation controls the people. Under our system of state and fed erally regulated private banking, the people control the money. The banker is the servant of his depositors. He must operate within a rigid framework of laws and reg ulations designed not only to protect the depositor from actual dishonesty, but to protect him from bad banking judgment as well. The banker is the custodian of de posits and savings of private citizens. A sharp line must be drawn between legitimate public regulation as contrasted with political domination of banking. Nothing is more difficult than to fix a poli tician's responsibilities. No one can check on him save his superiors, who "belong to the same club," so to ?peak, and have the same political interests at heart. This is not an attempt to argue that private banking is perfect, or that no additional banking legislation will ever be needed. When the need appears, the peo ple, through their elected officials, will put it on the statute books. That is the American way ? and it is a way that has worked amazingly well. The thinking cit izens of this country should be solidly opposed to letting the politicians get hold of the people's collective pocket book. oOo A California town puts all traffic violators in jail. If every community did that, pedestrians would have a clear track. ? ? oOc Naval ensigns are not permitted to mary jritil two years after graduation. Why not let 'em marry and j learn to fight f GRIFFIN FOR CONGRESS (Continued from Pace 1) ? V ? Sill, Okla. He is now 39 years of age and during hia years of ex perience in public matters he has come in contact with almost all problems and can take this experience with him to the Nation's Capital to use as a bulwark in his fight for the rights and benefits of the little fellow back home believing fully in the old Democratic doctrine that has always stood the test, that what is to the best inter ests to the little fellow is also to the best interests of the mighty. Franklin County will rally to his support with a big majority, and extends an especially cordial invitation to the other counties in the Fourth Congres sional District to join it in giving to Major Griffin the largest majority possible in his election. 0O0 Some of the severest critics of business are "intellec tuals" who got that way at colleges endowed by busi ness men. "Don't Go in There!" All over North Carolina there are law-abiding beer dealer* who merit public approval and pat ronage because they respect the privilege con ferred by State, County or City beer permits. Here and there, beer is being sold amid suri roundings as distasteful to the industry as to you. The industry, in cooperation with law ofi ficers, is helping to eliminate these few law-vio lators. Without customers, the "joints" cannot exist YOU can help us "clean them up" ? by dealing only with the respectable beer retailer who is on the aide of law and order and decency.
