Why Is Tobacco Selling Low?
Why is tobacco silling so low? is a question being
asked by thousands of people in this
section. 01 course, it is not because there is too much
—lt is not because those who buy it are not able to
make a profit out of it.
Consolidation, organization, and strangulation is the
cause. The tobacco manufacturing interests have con
solidated to the point that they are irresistable. They
not only manipulate the tobaccO market, but they, with
the help of a bunch of others no more holy than
themselves, manipulate the financial system, making ijt
impossible for independent buying and handling of
tobacco.
The small independent companies therefore are not
actively on the markets this year, leaving the field
to the ' Big Five" manipulators,, who have grown
fabulously wealthy, and heartlessly greedy, off of the
sweat of hard-working men, women, and children.
The consolidation ofrailroads, electrical companies,
tobacco compannies, chain stores, and banks is the
darkest "cloud that inde|>endent people have to face
today. Opportunities for open and fair competition
are out of the question.

Yours For Service,

Bob Grimes and Jim Gray - Robersonville, N. C.
says it is the poorest and undesirable book in
the entire list recommended and- thaiU is an afflic
tion on the public to have to use ft. A
One other thing the school authorities, are doing
that works a great hardship on many of \he young
people of North Carolina is grading by the cfcxk and
not by the brain. If you have been to schobl and
dragged along and learned but little, yet covereKthe
proper number of hours (though many of them may
have been wasted) you make the grade and go \o
college. On the other hand, if you have not covered
a certain number of hours, you can not enter col
lege, even if they have the intellect and knowl
edge of an Edison. ■_
This is all done to perfect a system that has been
worked out for the entrance to our colleges. This may
be a fine ideal, but most of our high school pupils
are preparing for a life's work and not for college. To
these the system is a crushing blow to their oppor
tunities and amounts to little more than blanking a
year in their lives.
Yet our high schools, which we pay for, are afraid
not to obey the mandates of the immaculate Raleigh
system. f
The hours of opportunities which our children have
missed becausee of the failure of our system to give
them an equaf chance should never be counted against
them if they are equal to the child who has had the
better opportunity. Rules are good in school, but
they should not injure, or hinder, any worthy ctyild.
Sounds Good to Peace Lovers
Ramsey McDonald says England is not going to at
tempt to build a navy in competition with the United
States. That sounds good to all peace lovers. What
would sound even better, however, would be a declara
tion from all civiliied nations that they would maintain
navies just large enough to guarantee the peaceful and
bale navigation of the seas against pirates and buc
caneers. The money saved would educate all of our
children.
False Figures Again Evident
The Associated Press, which is generally reasonably
careful about the accuracy of its news reports, evi
dently suffered itselt to give out many inaccuracies
on the 3rd relative to the tobacco sales in Eastern
Carolina. Especially is this true as to prices, market
averages being reported as high as 17 cents.
Of course, the Associated Press did not make the
false statements. It only repeated the false statements
of others, which practice will tend to discredit it as
a source of reliable news.
The errors evidently came from some warehouse
men or boosters who thought it would boost their mar
kets or towns by making the figures high, regardless
of whether true or not.
It is noticeable that reports given out from the
larger markets are generally more reliable than those
furnished by a few of the smaller markets.
What the people want is the truth about all mat
ters, and the tobacco market that attempts to build
trade on padded figures will, in the end, find that it
doesn't pay. -
