Entered at the Postofflce, New Bern n.Uw second-class matter. . Sec lon One, Tuesday, April 22, 1908 LESSENING COURT DOCKETS. A subscriber of the Journal, after reading ltt editorial on "Many Cases and Many ICourts," offers as a remedy for this surplus of litigation, the Institution of the whipping post There Is no donbt bat that the whip ping post would prore a means for greatly lessening the court dockets. There are hundreds of petty cases eTery year before the courts, which are simply an expense to the tax payers, and which in no way serve to maintain or preserve law and order by these be ing brought up. The culprits are brought before the court, after being kept in confinement for days, weeks, or perhaps months, all at an expense to the community, and if the offender is found guilty, the punish ment is usually an acceptable one. In this section, negroes who may re ceive penitentiary sentences, ' are sent away with the greatest demonstration on the part of their friends, and their rc turn from prison means a local celebra tion of the event If in the minor offenses, such as brawls and petty larceny cases, there could be administered a good whipping, instead of Jail and court trial, there would be a great falling off in the court dockets, while there would be almost a cessation of these offenses, which are t rival in character, yet most disturbing to the community, It may sound brutal to advocate a whipping post, but it would not merely serve to lessen the tax payer's burden through expense! of Jails and courts, but it would serve to preserve better order and make the number of criminals de- criase. ' y - ... t is the fear of "corporal punishment that makes the would be - offender hesi tate more than that coming from the thought of jail and court trial, with fine and possible further imprisonment. THE PEOPLE'S GREATEST . TAX." The full amount of the annual waste made by fire in this country, is seen by the estimate that $150,000,000 has been the average loss during recent years. In round figures this Is one per cent of the taxable property In this coun try. ' , . And farther this annual fire tax means that the - people onoe 'every ten years pay a sum equal to their national debt. '- This tax for protection against fire comes high, yet it is paid voluntarily, quite different from other taxes, which have to be dragged from the people by the tax collectors. -. : The flimsy character of the .buildings In the United States makes the fire tax higher in this country than In any other civilised nation, v The French people have the lowest fire losses of any country, It amounting to six cents on the $100 . - In England it is nine cents on each $100. loss. ; . la the different States In this country the loss varies, as the character of build- ings change. In New York it Is fifty eight cents; In Massachusetts sixty cents; In Texas $1.10; in Arkansas, $1.81 on the $100. , The range in this country Is 1 notable one, but from the six cents In France to the $1,81 In Arkanssi, the vastly in creased rate of loss shows how. different must "be the bandings and the sum of the proportionate total losses. LOCAL CAPITAL CAN EINDERJDE velcpeekt. i J-if? There Is always an urging In "very community, that local Inducements be made to attract outside capital, in order to assist local development ' r Bat is not this calling upon outside money to come to a community's sssli tance, too often oyer done t :, Are there not rrnny towns nd cities in the South, whose Chambers of Com merce, whose ssvrpapera, tod whose buslneat men, hi trying to attract this outside capital, overlook the fact that very much of what they seek, namely, nemployed money, fa to be found in their own town or dtyt There fa no question, but that today, there are maay Southern towns and cities, whose people and the local busi ness organizations are trying to induce outside money to come in, and build them op, which are really congested al ready with money, which Is held In their banks, or else placed at Interest, which Is helping some nearby town to build It is the active dollar put into local circulation, which does the developing, and while there may be thousands of dollars in a city's bank vaults, and the bank statements may Indicate prosperi ty, as to dollars on deposit, there may be an utter lack of development or pro gress in the community. n ... . It fa the shut np dollar In the:, bank vault, or put out of circulation In the purchase of outside securities, stocks or bonds, which is In contrast to the active dollar, going Its rounds In a common!- ty. - The one, acts as a dog to local devel opment, the other promotes business and builds up trade. , tv . If the people of many communities which are now begging outsiders to come In and invest , their money with them, would Instead constitute themsel ves a committee of the whole, take an Inventory of their own local funds, and after doing so, would make "their own money an active factor In local develop ment, Instead of keeping (t in safes and vaults, there would be no need of outside help. ; And the community which develops itself, through Its own means, fa the one which Is going to show real develop ment. ? Many places are today, In the Bouth, congested and sluggish, Just because their people refuse to use their own money In local development-and in stead keep calling upon strangers to come in and help them. r No development need be expected in such communities, for outside capital fa not attracted to any place whose people are not showing that they can help themselves. Deafness Cannot be Cored --- --- by local application as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There fa only one way to cure deafness, and that fa by constitutional remedies.
