PAGE FOUR THE BEAUFORT NEWS THURSDAY. MARCH 26, 1 93 1 The Beaufort News ablished every Thursday at Beaufort, Carteret County North Carolina Beaufort Newt Inc., Publisher WILLIAM GILES MEBANE Pres. and Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES (In Advance) One Year $2.00 Six Months 1-00 Tbre Months -50 Sintered as second-class matter February 5, 1912 at the fcostoffice in Beaufort, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1S79. MEMBER NORTH CAROLINA PRESS ASSOCIATION THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1931 Following its custom of trying to give its readers the best service possible the News has been publishing every week since the meeting of the General Assembly Raleigh let ters by two well known correspondents. By this means readers of this newspaper have been able to keep well abreast of what has been taking place in the legislative halls dur ing one of the most important sessions that the State has ever known. crops raised here is an event of considerable importance. The News has been informed that some other new crops will be tried in the near future. Bulb growing has just been started on a commercial scale this year. Should this prove successful it will be increased next year. With prospects that cotton and tobacco are going to sell for low prices another year and maybe longer, Carteret county is fortu nate in being able to grow a variety of crops, some of which are likely to sell high. Broc coli is gladly welcomed to the counyt and we wish for it a long and prosperous career. BAILEY TAKES A STAND AGAINST RADICALISM GOOD ROADS ASSURED FOR THE EAST It is evident now that the people of the east ern part of Carteret county can rest assured of the fact that they will always have a good road reaching the county seat and enabling them go to any point in the State that they may care to reach. This is due to the fact that the State has taken over and is improv ing the Beaufort-Atlantic road. Atlantic now becomes the terminus of route ten instead of Beaufort, which is a big adver tisement for that town. The State will take ever all of the dirt roads too and we trust will improve them. Marshalberg, Gloucester and Straits are thriving fishing and farming com munities and they need good roads to get their products to market. Some of the best truck ing lands in the State are east of North river, i Good roads will have a wonderful effect in de veloping the possibilities of that section. OPPOSED TO SALARY REDUCTION Carteret county's representative the Honor able Luther Hamilton evidently does not ap prove of the suggestion made by Governor Gardner to reduce salaries of public officials ten per cent. Neither does Representative Willis of Craven county apparently. There are thirty-five counties in the State that were exempted from the Hood-Parker bill which provides for a ten per cent reduction in sal iiico. rvinong tins numuex oi aiuweuucuon- rate. Taxes in Morehead City have been too high, just as they have been in Beaufort. There is a point where taxation becomes an unbearable burden and it has just about been ists are Carteret and Craven. Mr. Hamilton has gone even further than this in that he has put through a bill to raise the renumeration of the offices of Register of Deeds and Clerk of the Court. Senator-elect Bailey made a speech at Statesville not long ago to the Daughters of the American Revolution which seems to ad vance ideas that are much at variance with those held by some other prominent men in his party. They are certainly not in accord with the opinions of editor Josephus Daniels, Sen ators Costigan, Wheeler, Carraway, Mc Kel lar and certain other leading Democrats. Referring to the various demands upon the Federal government Bailey is reported to have said: "We have even reached the point where there is a large and growing group that de mands that the Government take over every thing and administer if for the common ben efit." He wanted to know if America is "to become a nation of dependents. Is this Gov ernment to become a sort of Santa Claus for its citizens?" The paying out of enormous sums for the relief of this and that class of citizens, the op eration of railroads, telegraph lines, power plants, manufacturing of fertilizers and other products are some of the fantastic schemes that so called "Progressive" Democrats and Republicans have in mind. William J. Bryan wanted to embark the Federal government in the railroad business. Many of his disciples favored this scheme. If men of the Norris, Wheeler, Costigan, La Follette type could get some of their schemes enacted into law they would feel encouraged to attempt stil more radical measures. The country would sooon be well on its way to complete Socialism. Statesmen like Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover an da number of Democrats and Republicans in the Senate and House have prevented much of this attempted radical legislation. It has been a hard fight ; tnougn and indications are that it is by no j means ended. The next session of Congress will see the radicals more determined and i more active than ever. It will be interesting I to see what sort of a stand Mr. Bailey will take. -Lexers From Our Readers TOWN AFFARS DISCUSSED JUST FORGETFUL "Mama," said little Dorothy, ter don't tell the truth." Pan High Speed Cleveland, O., March 22 Speed of the 300 to 400-mile an hour variety "Why, Dorothy, you mustn t say j ig the an,bition of manufacturers as Press Gleanings HOUSE SHOWS COURAGE j CONGRATULATIONS TO MOREHEAD CITY Reports that we hear are that by reason of the sale of its water and electric plant that our neighbor across the river will be able to get her finances in very good shape. Past due ob ligations will be met and a cut in the tax rate will be made. In our opinion the people of Morehead City have done a very wise thing in taking steps to liquidate a good part of the town's indebtedness and thereby lower the tax reached in Carteret county and the towns of Beaufort and Morehead City. Progress has been hindered by it. Any honorable scheme that can be devised to reduce debts and ta::es is worthy of consideration. The house has had the courage to make available a previous appropriation of $400,000 for reconstruction of the state penitentiary at Raleigh, the new institu tion to be located on state-owned land at Cary. Bill of the kind has passed the senate and becomes law with ratification, and thus Governor Gardner emerges winner in another legislative tilt. (Charlotte Obser ver.) The BROCCOLI Broccoli, pronounced (brok-o-li) ascent on first syllable, a member of the cabbage family closely related to cauliflower is a new farm product in Carteret county. Grown this year, largely for experimental purposes it bids' fair to be a regular crop here. The demand for it is confined mainly to the large cities and the vegetable is especially in demand among Ital ians. The name seems to indicate that brocco li originated in Italy and the large consump tion of it by Italians corroborates this theory. There is little demand for broccoli in this State, North Carolinians preferring collards and turnip greens when they feel the need of something of the sort in the winter and spring months. Probably due to the advice of physicians and the columns of reading matter printed on the subject, there has grown upa very large demand in recent years for such a vegetable 3 cauliflower, kale, spinach and broccoli. The demand for turnip greens and collards was already established in so far as the southern s.ates are concerned. Fast railroad and truck ?:rvice enable all parts of the country to have the advantage of fresh vegetables and fruits at all seasons of the year. One may find in the small towns, as well as the cities a very good supply of fruits and vegetables nowadays. As the demand for such products increases the supply also grows. It seems therefore that our truck growers here "in Car teret county may feel reasonably sure of a ' market for their products. Of course markets I win uecome giuued at times but on the other hand sometimes markets are bare, just as they were on cabbage last spring when Carteret Vri J , .B was In sucn m demand WHAT IS THE TROUBLE recent fire at Samarcand Manor raises a mies. ; tion for some big mind to answer. If the girls fired j tho buildings and show no more concern about the fu J ture of their case than did the seven in Troy jail they jum aon i care what beeomesof them. The ages of the girls here were from 15 to 10 years. They did not look like criminals. They were nice looking children, but so hardenr-d in crime and bitter against society that it excites ones pity to listen to them discuss their plight. Somehow, we believe there is a way, if we could only find it, to save these "little ones" from such a wasted condition. They are too young to be cast into the waste dupms of humanity. Is their trouble the fault of. .the church, school, rdciety or parents? Somebody answer pleasj. (Montgomery Herald.) Editor of The News: The year 1931 began with as great or perhaps greater doubt as to the financial stability of the world than any year in the 20th century. The depression is general, it is world-wide more so in Europe and Asia than in England or America. After the 15th day of March the U. S. Treasury had a deficit of more than $735,000,000, and possibly may pass over $800 mil lions. Even with this deficit in re ceipts collectable the Treasury ad ded $32G,6G0,00O to the Sinking Fund You make $10.00 this week, and on Monday you call to see Mr. U. E. Swann, and place part of the $10.00 in the Savings Department to pay your taxes in November 1931 or to help educate your children. That is your reserve or capital asset, or a Sinking Fund you expect to establish. If you had that fund today you could pay your taxes and save your home, and also help the schools, the county and the town. Sinking Fund bonds are not preferred by the investors; but instead they prefer serial bonds. If you take the money out of the bank and spend it for an automobile or other purposes not considered, as taxes or to educate your children. then you as judge and jury convict the Sinking Fund, and on account of the usual mismanagement investors prefer serial or annuity bonds ar ranged so as to have the sum of prin cipal and interest the same or similar each year. Listen. The Republican Party in 1920 faced expenditures of 5 1-2 billions of dollars each year and a National Debt of $26,596,701, 000 over 26 1-2 billions, and to Aug ust 31st, 1930 it had been reduced to $16,187,636, over 16 billions. That means in 10 year? the Remibli- can Party has reduced the debt each year more than one billion dollars, and this was through the regular Sinking Fund appropriation and in j applying all surpluses, amounting to practically $500,000,000 yearly. This is the theory upon which the Repub lican Party has pledged its faith in the past 71 years, and has controlled the government 55 against 16 years excepting the change? in Congress. That is the belief: 1. To prevent foreie-n irnnda mnAo in foreign factories with and by for eign labor, from entering our ports except and unless a tax as a Tariff be levied and collected before such goods may enter in competition with Amer-1 lorioo with and by American labor.

North Carolina has a net debt of $158,497,000 and nrobablv a Hnfi.it in colections of near one milling f dollars. The Governor in his mes sage to the General Assembly in Jan uary made it very clear that reduc tion was esssntial and centralization imperative so as to coordinate the various subdivisions under the State control. He recommended that such be made the law. Some of the sug gestions have b;en considered. Recently $9,557,000 in bonds were issued, The State had no trouble in selling the bonds, and at a low rate of inteerst, and the Local Govern ment Act ratified March 3rd to go into effect March 18th along with a pre determined plan for control un (Continued on page seven) such things," reproved the mother.

EMPLOYMENT SITUATION IMPROVES There were more men employed in January -than there were in December, and still more in February than in January, the U. S. Department of Labor re ports. The increase in payrool totals for February was 7 1-2 per cent. That is encouraging news of the first order. It k the first upward trend in the industrial situation since the stock-market crash of October, 1929. It signifks, it seems to us, that people are getting over their fear of the future and are realizing, that the bottom hadn't autually dropped out.
