Friday, August 8, 1930 f A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK The most imperative duty of the state is the universal education of the masses, ho money •which can he usefully .'■pent for this indispensable end should he denied. Public sentinment should N on the contrary, approve the doctrine that the ■, more thai can he judiciously spent, the belter for the country. There is no insurance of nations so cheap as the enlightenment of the peopIe.—AN DREW CARNEGIE. Few Real Statesmen Left The congressman who limits his activities to sweet letters to the voters back home displaying his activi ties, and who arranges to get a lot of money out of the treasury as pensions for this friend .or that, or for some special project, is usually very popular. By this type of congressional activitiy, a system has been built up known as congressional log-rolling, which has almost bankrupted the country. Net these congress men make the [>eople of their district think that they are great men. When a man goes on the job as a statesman, with the interests of the whole country at heart, and works for his enemies as well as his friends, he usually gets beaten. Yet that is the only type of men who ought to l)e (termitted to go to Washington. Senator George Norris, who has rightly l>een called a United States Senator—not a Nebraska Senator on ly—and who has also been called the most honest man in the Senate, is having to put up a hard fight for his nomination. He is being fought by the big interests of the country and neglected by his thick-headed nar row-minded constituency. America's greatest need today is more statesmen and honest men in Artferica. * • "Good Times and Hard Times" We are told by one of our contemporaries that "the difference between so-called hard times and so-called g»od times is the contrast l>elween two buying moods of the public. The wealth of this country today is fundamentally untouched in fact, it is increasing all the time. The purchasing jniwer is still there -but dormant, not l>eing used." The public has not lieen in a buying mood for near ly a year. Hut the buying power has not declined. The present depression is th* difference between the freedom of buying twelve months ago and the hesi tancy of today. As usual, the power of advertising is doing wonderful work in stimulating people into WW!———■ WMBPM———————^——^l In Addition to Writing Insurance of Every Kind on Every Thing, I Am Calling Your Attention to the Necessity of Having Insurance on Your Tobacco Pack House • * ' Don't Take a Chance on Losing Your Year's Work and Savings by FIRE!

In the next six months, the business man with courage, with intelligent vision of the ever increasing wealth and population of this country, will inevitably draw to himself the greatest proportion of business that will come throughout 1931. It is well for us to remember that today is the to morrow that we worried about yesterday so much, and all is well. It is unwise to become panicky and de pressed over business or any other phase of life— the future is going to take care of itself. Investigation Needed Factory towns seem to breed tuberculosis in chil dren. In the month of July, out of thirteen children entering State Sanitorium for tubercular treatment, six, representing five families, were from Gastonia, possibly North Carolina's greatest factory town. Of eight discharged, five were from the exclusively factory | towns of Spray and Draper, and the other three from Reidsville, a semi-factory town. We are unable to say why factory-town children go largely predominate in numbers, unless it is because they do not get sufficient food and fresh air, which ex perts say are the prime causes of tuberculosis in chij- I dren. ' This would seem to indicate the need for an inves tigation of the living conditions in these factory cen ters, to see whether the tubercular children come from the homes of factory owners or from the homes of the poorer operatives, and to see if they are suffering from this dreaded disease through ignorance or through poverty. Whatever be the cause, it should Ik* removed and the children given a chance. - The Cause of Our Difficulties The cause of the financial difficulties in our country is easy to understand. Some of the |>eople are getting tm litHe/and smne ate Tfettmß-lon much: The president of the Bethlehem Steel Company is , getting too much. His bonus-salary last year was just two hundred and sixteen and a half times more than President Hoover's salary. This bonus-salary * was made up from overcharges on nails sold to build ers; plows, hoes, tobacco flues, and almost every oth er article of iron that the farmer uses. It is a com plete system of sucking from the many and putting into the coffers of the few. The same thing applies to tobacco. The farmer gets SBO for an acre of tobacco. His son buys the same tobacco in cigarettes and pay $1,920 for it. By this process the farmer is losing his home and facing starvation, and the manufacturer is growing so rich that he is more of a lord'than an ordinary human. "Cash Crop Crazy" Farm troubles in North Carolina, and in the South as well, are due mostly to the fact that our farmers are "cash crop crazy," and the farm families which 1 have the smallest income are the ones which raise no foodstuffs and which usually become de|>endent on their landlords for the actual necessities of life. This was the main thought emphasized by Carl C. Taylor, i dean of the State College graduate school, in his |d- 1 dress l>efore the Public Welfare Institute in Cha|)el | Hill not long ago. "There is no reason," he declared, "why the farms \ can not absorb the surplus population of the cities if the proper program of agriculture is carried on. But 1 such a program must be organized into a community project. The welfare worker, the farm agent, the home demonstration agent, the churches, the civic clubs all these must get together and organize the commun ity. The farmer must be encouraged to plant a gar den, to raise stock, and, in short, to live at home." fnade down South, President Hoover declared that "a dollar a day and a |>air of overalls is enough for any working man." He may or may not have made this statement, but we know of working men who would be glad to get a dollar a day and a new pair of over alls right now, so apparent in our land is the effect of the famed "prosperity" he promised if elected to the presidency. . .

WILLJAMSTON ?***-, a^- by the crop reporting service shows that the value of the increased acre age will amount to $16,138,015.80 if the yields this year equal those of 1929 and despite the lower price of farm prod ucts. The 11,975 farms studied in this sur vey show an average reduction in cot ton acreage of 13 per cent as compared with 1929. Peanuts were reduced 2.4 per cent, and wheat was reduced through dry weather by 25 per cent. On the othej - hand, the corn acreage was increased by 10 per tent; oats by 11 per cent; irish potatoes 4»y 25 per cent; sweet potatoes by 24 per cent; hays by 5 per cent, and poultry by 7.9 per cent.
