A Definite Purpose
- In his Bddress here Tuesday evening, J.
-Paul Leonard, executive secretary of the
North Caroliiui Fail Tax Association, declar
ed that while the association has set the re
peal of the general sales tax as a definite
purpose to be attained, it also proposes to go
further and work towards a fairer system of
taxation.
A majority of the j>eople are in sympathy
with the association’s program. Besides be
ing a general nuisance, the sales tax is im
posed upon the pe^le least able to pay it
These are sufficient grounds for repeal.
That the people should not wait until the
next election when legislators have already
been named to begin working toward this
objective is unquestioned. “A stitch in time
saves nine” is an old saying. And a sales
tsuc proponent defeated is a better warning
than a whole flock of petitions to the elected
representative.
The Fair Tax Association is now soliciting
members and wants a local unit organized in
this county. Whether Wilkes organizes will
depend largely, we believe, upon the under
standing the people get of this movement.
The association will have only one paid of
ficial and all funds other than this one salary
will be used in organizing against the sales
tax. Members may contribute according to
their ability to pay, from $1.00 up.

Labor
Under the administration’s national recov
ery program, labor is assured of fairer treat
ment than it has been guaranteed at any pre
vious time in the history of the country.
Shorter working hours and higher wages are
in effect. Labor is thus given a grater re
turn for its contribution to the econwruc life
of the country and more leisure in v/hich to
enjoy life. , ’' ,
Labor most not abuse its new rights. La
bor must produce. During the short hours
that have been given labor, men thus bene
fited must give their employers the best that
is in them. Labor must produce if higher
wages are to be continued. Better pay can
not be guaranteed on any other basis.
Labor must be reliable. 'We can remem
ber when cotton mill and factory employes,
if they so desired, stayed home for a day on
the most inadequate excuses and left their
employers to find someone to fill their places
as best they could. Labor can never be ade
quately paid if it is not reliable.
Labor must be intelligent. The man dig
ging ditches has need of intelligent applica
tion to the job at hand.
Elbert Hubbard said there are some men
who can go ahead with the job without be
ing told. These receive high pay. There are
others who can do a job when they are told
once. These receive adequate compensation.
There are othei’s, he said, who can go ahead
after they are told twice. These are the com
mon class of people who receive average pay.
And still further on down in the list are
those who will not do the job without some-

My friend Norman Daria, Unit
ed Statee Ambaaaador at Larse,
is hopeful that, after seven years
of diacnssion, Intemationai dls-
axmfiment will soon get some-
yrtan. When I talked with him a
few dhys ago he was more op
timistic al^ont it than I have ever
seen him.'
Nobody is asking any nation tO
abandon its defenses. The pro
gram which is coming to be ac
cepted most everywhere is that
nations should not be permitted
to provide themselves with the
sort of weapons which are use
ful only for the invasion ot an
other natlon’e territory.
If Germany hid ~not had the
great Krupii and Skoda;guns it
could never have invaded Bel
gium in 1914. Big mobile guns
and big tanks would be abolish
ed by such an agreement as^ the
about. Military men are coming
to realize that aircraft alone can
never win an aggressive war, and
that it is not bard for any nation
to protect its coasts against a
foreign navy.
A few (months ago there was
a real fear ot a new war in
Europe. Now there is a genuine
belief that permanent peace is
close at hand.
PHOORESS it is actaal
A hundred years ago Europe
had a population of 180 millions
ot people most ot them frequent
ly on the verge of starvation.
That was as tar as the world
had got in the 12 centuries since
body stands over them and prods them to ac- Europe civilization really began
,, X, . i . I Today Europe has nearly 500
tion. These usually wear their trousers out
them
on park benches.
The famous writer spoke an eternal truth.
Labor is paid generally according to the re
turn received from the investment. Labor
must not forget that it has an obligation to
those who are paying the wages.
“Mountain Whites”
The following editorial, which appeared in
the Winston-Salem Journal recently, reveals
a picture of our “mountain whites” which
tlie northern writers and stage directors seem
to have forgotten all these years and we
respectfully call it to their attention:
“It might be well for those gentry of the
so-called intelligentsia north of the Mason
and Dixon line, who ever and anon evince
deep concern for the plight of the pwr
^mountain whites’ of the south, to ponder the
following paragraph from a news story in
The Journal yesterday:
“ ‘There were reported 350 Grange mem
bers in Madison county, and it was an un
usual fact that of the 13 officers installed at
Walnut, high up in the Blue Ridge moun
tains, every officer installed, except one, was
a college graduate.’
"Madison county lies deep in the moun
tains of North Carolina. But that has not
prevented it from being the home for many
years of Mars Hill College, one of the best
educational institutions of its type in the en
tire country. This institution was built by
the mountain people, as many others have
been, notablj' the Appalachian State Teachers
College, at Boone, and a similar institution
at Cullowhee, deep in the Great Smokies far
beyond Asheville.
“WTien the Grange comes to our moun
tains to find virtually nothing but native
college graduates for leaders, it is high time
somebody up in New York or Boston was
writing another magazine article.”

The New Agricultural Era
It would be an interesting thing if a farm
er of thirty years ago could be suddenly
suddenly transported to the Chicago World’s
Fair and shown the model exhibit of elec
tricity at work in agriculture.
As the saying goes, his ■ yes wcuk. pop out.
He would see chickens treated with ultra
violet rays, and their hours of rest and
work controlled by light. Cows in a scien
tifically built lactery are automatically
washed and then milked by sanitary, effi
cient electric equipment. Electric cooling
and bottling equipment has superceded old
hand methods. There are no hay lofts in the
modem bam—instead, a lai-ge new type silo,
a silo within a silo stores both ensilage and
dry feed and reduces fire hazards. 'Two
small structures store grain which is trans
port^ by electric conveyor systems.
In the fields of this, farm, he would see
still more startling things. Even the trac
tor, thought up-to-date a short time ago, has
bera dispensed with, its jrface taken by an
electric cable plough which makes its way
ld>out the field carrying its owii self-winding
eaUe. There are ho power fxAes to inter

NUMBING GRIP OF ANCIENT CREEDS
Ask any ten people what Jesus meant by His
“Father’s business,” and nine of them will answer
“preaching.” To interpret the words in this narrow
sense is to lose the real significance of His life. It
was not to preach that He came into the world:
not to teach; nor to heal. These are all depart
ments of His Father’s business, but the business it
self is far larger, more inclusive.
If human life has any significance it is this—
that God has set going here an experience to which
all His resources are committed. He seeks to de
velop human beings, superior to circumstance, vic
torious over Fate- No single kind of human talent
or effort can be spared if the experiment is to
succeed. The race must be fed and clothed and
housed and transported, as well as preached to,
and taught and healed.
Thus ALL business is his Father’s business. All
work is worship: all useful service prayer. And
whoever works wholeheartedly at any worthy call
ing is a co-worker with the Almighty in the great
enterprise which He has initiated but which He can
never finish without the help of men.
It is one thing to talk about success, and quite
.another thing to win it. Jesus spoke of crowns and
died on a cross. He talked of His kingdom, and
ended His days amid the jeers and taunts of His
enemies. “He was in all points tempted like as we
are,” says the Epistle to the Hebrews. We have
million population, all ot
sure of their food.
That is a lot of progress to
make in a hundred years. Peo
ple who talk of the “good old
times” are talking about the lives
of the small minority who lived
in what was regarded as luxury
while the common people were
practically slaves. Few of us
Would care to live as uncomfort
ably as the nobility and royalty
did in the old days, without gas
or electric light or even kero
sene stoves, without plumbing or
furnaces or even stoves. Folks
were Introduced by Queen Eliza
beth, only a little over 300 years
ago, and soap was a novel luxury
for the rich in her time.
When people tell you the
world is going backward and
that the age of invention, begin
ning with the steam-engine, has
not improved human conditions,
tell them to run along and read
their history hooks.

DOPE a world treaty
The other day I had a visit
with Captain Richmond Pearson
Hobson, Spanish War hero and
former member of Congress from
Alabama, who has for years been
devoting his life to the effort to
stamp out the International traf
fic in narcotics, such as mor
phine, cocaine and hashish.
As a result of the work of the
commission which Captain Hob
son beads, organized under the
League ot Nations, 39 nations
have Just signed a treaty agree
ing to limit the production of
narcotics to actual medical re
quirements. In another twenty or
thirty years, Captain Hobson be
lieves, "dope” will be so hard to
get that there will be no new
crop of drug addicts and the old
ones will have died off.
I think he Is unduly optimistic,
but I hope he’s not. I have seen
enough myself of the effects of
the narcotic habit on men ^ and
women to realize what it does to
them and to society, but also to
realize how hard it Is to break
an addict of the habit.
