MEMBER NORTH CAROLINA PRESS ASSOCIATION THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1932 AN EXCELLENT RECORD The McDowell News stated last week that the sheriff of that county naci collected 92.64 per cent of the taxes for 1931 and that is the highest average in a number of years. This speaks mighty well for the sheriff of McDow ell county and the taxpayers also are enti tled to a lot of credit. It seems remarkable the" contrary they were careful to restrict it to rather narrow lines. It was intended that most of the governing should be done by the by the various states and that the individ ual should have the privilege of working out his own destiny with as little hindrance on the part of the government as possible. These tenets were strongly advocated by a political organization of that day known as the Democratic-Republican party and which was headed by Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr, James Madison and others. So strongly did this party oppose Federal interference that it even opposed the building of roads and can als by the national government. They prob ably would have considered any man insane who advocated the giving of money, food, clothing or any thing else to individuals all ov er the country. What a difference one hundred and thirty years have made. Every state in the union wants Federal aid for roads, and is getting it. Vast sums are spent for canals, rivers and har bors, irrigation, public parks, aid for farm ers, veterans and so on. A Democratic Con gressman from Texas actually introduced a bill providing for the issuance of four billion dollars in paper money which was to be giv en to veterans of the war. States' rights a bout which a big war was fought, so they said, is dead. Ex-President Coolidge says he believes in states' rights and there may be a few others, but they are not much in evidence, that with times as hard as they have been for several years that the people could pay i The Republican party never made 'a fetich their taxes so well.

Tax paying has largely gone out of fashion in Carteret. SHOULD CUT DOWN EXPENSE' Bernard M. Bauruch, big business man and former head of the War Industries Board ! during the Wilson administration, says that the national government should lop off a bil lion dollars of its expenditures. To this pro nouncement most business men will say amen but it is going to be difficult to get the poli ticians to take that view of the matter. The average Congressman feels that the more money he can get out of the public treasury the more jobs will be created and the more votes he will get. The unthinking voters, and there are plenty of them, do not realize that no government has any money except what it gets from the pepole and that when unnecessary expenditures are made that taxes must be raised, thereby hurtnig business and bringing about unemployment. i long since abandoned it. Most folks are not ' interested in abstract principles; what they ' want are privileges. Each class or group is I trying to get something and expects the Fed I eral government to give it to them. They do not bother as to where the money is to come Irom; they want it and want it right now. If the process of evolution of government continues for the next century, as it has for a hundred years past, everybody in the United States will either be working for the govern ment or will be eating out of a governmental spoon. In fact this arrangement would be much fairer than for half of the population to be receiving the benefits and the other half working like blazes to furnish them. Half way socialism is worse than the real thing. If the people want socialism they have a right to have that sort of government. They ought not to be kept in ignorance though as to what is happening. THE WORST SEEMS OVER There are probably few if any business men in the United States who do not think that . the worst of the depression is over. This view seems to prevail also to some extent in foreign counties, although the revival there does not see mto be so pronounced as it is in the United States. Due to the great wealth here, our natural resources and the fact that our government has not followed any un sound financial theories, so urgently demand ed by some, business in the United States is definitely on the up grade. The recent ad 'ance in the price of such commodities as cot ton, tobacco, corn, wheat, hogs, cattle and others has added tremendously to the buying power of the farmers and its effect will soon be felt. The starting up of manufacturing plants of various kinds is a great help too and above all is the restoration of confidence and hope among all classes of people.

A BID FOR THE WET VOTE HOOVER HAS STOOD THE TEST Of course there has been no uncertainty as to how Governor Roosevelt stands on the pro hibition question but ifany one had a linger ing doubt as to the matter it must have been cleared up by the Governor's speech at Sea Bright, New Jersey last Saturday. His speech was an attack-on the Republican position on th eprohibition question, which he charged is insincere and an attempt to win both the wets and the drys, and a statement as to this own position. He criticised the eighteenth' amend ment as being a "stupendous blunder." New Jersey nearly always goes Republi can.ii Presidential elections. At the same time a,majority of the voters there are Oppos ed to prohibition. The Democratic candi date for President is making a strong bid for the wet vote. He hopes to draw off enough Republicans., on this, issue to carry the state. The same tactics are being pursued in New York state, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. It seems probable that the Deomcratic ticket will get some of the wet Republican vote in this group of States. As a rule the states referred to prefer that the na tional administration shall be in Republican hands. Whether economic issues will be submerged by the fight . against prohibition remains to be seen; " At any rate it is very clear that the Roosevelt-Gferner forces are trying to round up the wets. THE DRIFT TOWARDS SOCIALISM The opinion seems to be growing in this country that it is the duty of the United States Kovernment to help everybody that thinks he needs help. Relief for the fanners, relief for the veterans, rlief for the unemployed, relief fr the aged and like are being urged on every hand and practiced to a very considerable extent. Uncle Sam is now Bunnoserl in ho a sort of Santa Claus with presents for one and all. If he shells out he does not get much praise and if he fails to do it he is liberally abused. The founders of the remiblic had no idea that the Federal government would have to kan Review of Reviews, No President, from George Washington to Herbert Hoover, has escaped criticism and personal disparage ment. In earlier times, political newspapers took the lead in mud-slinging and misrepresentation. But for ynany years the newspapers have been almost wholly f free from personal attacks upon the Presidents. Now adays, such attacks emanate from individual dema gogues., from "sore heads," or from private citizens who are ignorant and prejudiced. Mr. Coolidge, for various reasons, seemed to expose himself less, and he did not offer a tempting mark to the mud-slinger. But Grover Cleveland, William Mc Kinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson and Warren G. Harding, like Her bert Hoover, were crtiicized almost as. severely as ev ery one of their earlier predecessors had been. Happily, Mr. Hoover, like al lour past Presidents, is fully protected by the armor of good faith and devo tion to public duty. Only those who have direct in. foimation, or whose preceptions are acute, can bring their miaginations to grasp the ceaseless pressure and the infinite variety of the public business that devolves upon our Chief Executive. Editor of The News: I have a" few things to mention this week. The first thing I read a letter written by a tax payer and citizen of Carteret county and he says he is not in favor of doing away with the extra two months school for it may cause some good teacher to lose a job. Now I want to say this, I don't think much of a man writing a letter and not signing his name. I want to ask you all how may letters have you ever seen written by me without my name signed to it, whether for or against. I want to say that a man can be a tax payer and a citizen of the county and not pay over 50 cents tax and he might pay $500. Please always sign your name and then we can size you up. Now I think Mr. Allen has not done his duty about hiring teachers for Carteret county. I think he ought to get teachers what teachers there are in this county first then if there isn't enough go where he can and get the rest. I know of several good teachers around Newport that would be very glad to teach in a six months more less an eight months school this year. I have a grand daughter that has gone through high school tkrA Vioo ctrta fnnr vnm'B fVlrrtnirll pnl- lege ana graduated on reacning anu music both and has taught two years and she can teach most any grade in high school and my brother has a son that has finished high school and gone through college four years and taught school three years and is now with- Carteret county and don t owe the county one cent of tax and instead of Mr. Allen hiring his teachers in this county he goes in some other ! county or state to get his teachers ' when the parents of those teachers j have always paid their tax in this county. It ain't right, I don't care j who does it. Yes I am in favor of but . six months school and I don't carfr who knows it. I am not afraid to j sign my name to what I write either. I whethre it is for or against. I say ' that any man who is in favor of more j (than six months school sure is not. a friend to his state or county while' we have so much bonded indebted ness on us. They had better stop so ; much school and put the money on ' the interest. In conclusion I would say some thing to the two high school students who replied to my letter of the 18th calling my attention to the 5th chap ter 22nd verse of Matthew which says: "If a brother gets angry with his brother without a cause and say thou fool is in danger of hellfire." This is meant I believe for our earth ly brother. It says without cause. I think we have a cause to what we want to say. Now I will say this, that if I didn't have back bone enough to sign my name to what I wrote I would never reply. Again if you knew what the says about people writing and not signing their names, E.

He knows how to use the services of competent secretaries and he pers; but, like Roosevelt and Wilson, he states his case in his own language. He thinks to conclusions, and he phrases the results like any experienced man of af fairs, without concern for mere rhetoric. But he is not lacking in sntiment, and he can give fine expres sion to his feelings on occasion, though with brev ity and restraint. For omre than three years Mr. Hoover hag moved along the path of public duty with unflagging industry, high purpose and unfailing faith. He is in full vigor of body and mind, and always thinks of difficulties as things to be met and solved. He never has brain storms, does not disturb his nerve centers by indulg ing in overexcitment, shows no petulance toward friends, no rancor toward enemies. His mind is constructive, like ,that of an engineer or architect, and analytical like that of a mathemati cian or research chemist. His imagniation is bold but under restraint, as befits a man of experience. He is not reactionary, nor is he skeptical about inniva tions. He has no soaring visions at night that fade away when the sun shines. Albert Shaw in the Ame- ior tne beautiful flowers.
