JACKS9N CO. JOURNAL DA1T TOMPKINS, -' - Editor Published Weekly By the JAOKSON COUNTY JOURNAL 00 Enterod as second elass matter at Sylva, N. C. The Ire in Ireland is showing n/? on the surface again. * The great trouble with a budget is that no matter how great trfe need you can't budge it. John D. Rockefeller has passed his 88th birthday, and is still going strong; but he doesn't step on his' gasoline. One advantage of air navigation over water is that any town, any where, can provide a safe harbor for the ships that ply the heavens. The ships that pass in the night, these days, disturb fellows sleep, as their motors hum overhead. In other words, Judge Sink says the stock law in Hamburg and Moun tain is sun/k. One of our readers suggested the other day, that perhaps the equaliz ing committee thinks Robeson folks need educating worse thaa we do in Jackson. Th greatest problem before The Journal today is how in the world the board of education will find places enough in which to spend that $600. Do you believe all you see in( the papers? We notice where it is assert ed that "there is money aplenty as the fiscal vears starts." Surely Governor McLean, judging from his fondness for boards and commissions, didn't take seriously the profound remark of Woodrow Wilson that "most boards are long, narrow and wooden." More money is the great need of Jackson county. The surest way of getting it is by better fanning and better marketing; and Jaekson county farmers are working on the job, these days. No doubt the sight of the presi dent wearing chaps and a ten gallon hat' and leading a gentle horse about the front yard, not only gives a touch of vital western color to Mr. Cool idge, but is a great rcjfef measure for the farmers of the bucolic West. Marketing hogs in July is a depart ure from the established order of things in this county, yet Culliwhee farmers got $1,300 in cash for a car of 240 pound hogs, last week, top ping the Chicago market with Jack son county July hogs. Other ship-" menjts are to be made in August and September. How shculd she be addressed ? Miss Pearl V. Parker, of Andrews, has been appointed justice of the peace, by Governor McLean. Is it proper to address her as "Squire Parker, or Miss 'Squire Parker, 'Squire Miss Parker, or 'Miss Parker, Esquire? Or should we say your horioress, and let it go at that? Henry Ford's retraction of an ap ology to the Jewish people for all the hafd things that his publication has said about them, will go far to counteract the efforts of these 100 percent Americans who are eternally busy pedaling racial and [political prejudice. The Jews will accept Mr. Ford's apology in the manly spirit in which it was made, and anjother victory for tolerance can be recorded. There is no place in America for intolerance and hatred. "America, Amerioa, God shed His Grace on thee, And crown) thy good with broth erhood, from sea to shinjing sea." EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL AND SPECIAL ADVANTAGES TO NONE The election that they were hold ing in Buncombe yesterday on the 8 months school term for the whole county reminds us that the day is comi;?;? when North Carolina will pro-1 vide a state system of public schools' giving equal educational advantages to every child in the state. There is no more reason why a child in Ashe ville or Winston-Salem or Greensboro should have educational advantages superior to those offered to the ehil-. dren in the remptest; section of the state, than there is for having a nine months school in Sylwi and a six months school at Sols Creek. These economists tell as that the less the farmers raise the more mon ey they will meke. But suppose they took.this seriously and cut the heart oat-of the world's famous food sup ply. GOVERNMENT BT BOARDS Leroy Martin, executive secretary of the equalizing board states that it is the function of the board to equalize values instead of distribut ing school funds. If that is true, then the whole thing is backward. The only way to distribute the Bchool funds is upon the educational needs of each county, the ability of the county to maintain its own schools, and an equitable distribution Of ad valorem taxes for school purposes, throughout the state. If the commission; seriously at tempted to meet in Raleigh and equal ize values in the one hundred comi ties of North Carolina, it is no won der that it made a mess of the whole thing. It was impossible for it to have doive otherwise without first making an exhaustive study of property val , ues from one end of North Carolina to the other. Again Mr. McLean's pet system of government by boards and commis sions has met with monumental fail ure. ROBESON AND JACKSON In its efforts to maintain a credi table public school system for the children of our coves and mountains, I Jackson county has a county tax rate for schools of $.87 on the $100.00 val uation. Robeson eounty, one of th? greatest farming counties of the state has' a school tax rate of $.75 on the $100.00. Jackson, a little mountain county, without a friend at court, was given an increase of $600.00 from the equalizing fund of the state. Robeson, the home county of the Governor of North Carolina, received anj increase of more than $70,000.00 at the hands of Mr. McLean's equalizing commis sion. Thus do we distribute a doubled equalizing fund to provide equal edu cational advantages throughout the state, and to equalize the burden of taxation for their maintenance. HEFLIN AND W. W. N. C. Senator Tom Heflin, of Alabamu, speaking to a crowded court house in Asheville last week, said, among oth er mis-statements that radio station W. W. NJ C. is owi^od and controlled by Roman Catholics. The truth is that the station is owned by the Ashe ville Chamber of Commerce, is con j trolled by a committee of that body, I which committee is entirely Protest ant in its membership and is managed bv J. Dale Stentz. former manager of the Methodist Assembly at Lake Junaluska, a son in law of the late Dr. George R. Stuart, and a Prostest ant of the Prostestants. , It is really astounding to what length the demagogues of the stripe of Heflin will go, and how far they will depart from the truth, in order to keep alive the flame of religions or other prejudice, upon which they depend for their political lives. Snr?'v Alabama that produced and gave the nation a Morgan, a Pettus, an Underwood, will rid the halls of the nation's capitol of such a man as soon as the opportunity presents itself. > THE KIND WE LIKE TO GET Last week we received the following letter from one of our oldest and most valued subcribers: Whittier, N.

I NORTH CAROLINA COUNTIES CONGEST AT CULLOWHEE] A good deal of interest as been evidenced in the recent contest an nouncement ot the Cullowhee State Normal Summer school.
