Fair Chance for All Needed
Japan has set up a bureau of business rationalism
to aid in the industrial depression.
If the Jap bureaus are as much the pupj>ets of the
big Interests in that country as many of the American
bureaus are of the big American industries, it will
probably prove a curse rather than a blessing to the
country.
Thj steel companies, the transportation systems,
the elecric combines, the motor trusts together with
the big banks and tobacco trusts have exercised more
influence over the American bureaus than the other
hundred and twenty million people. In (act, the trusts
with a few allies have so thoroughly gotten this coun
try by the throat that they have drained all the wealth
from the masses and stored it in their pockets. So
secure is the hold of the vast organizations and so
completely have they preyed U|MIII the people that now
the country is on the verge of starvation; and relief
is apparently a long ways off.
The consolidated wealth of this country seems to be
afraid of the Russian Red. They need not fear the
Red. but we can't say just what starving Americans
will do. We know the people are entitled to better
treatment from the gorgeous, avericious and unprin
cipled aggregations of wealth. _ We are like Japan, we
need some real industrial rationalism which means
nothing more* than a fair chance for both sides.
Too Many Pardons
We may expect much law breaking just as long as
we have so many pardons and paroles. It has come
to the place where apparently a man with sufficient
money to hire a lawyer can get a parole, the lawyer
often effecting the desired result by getting dose to
the trial judge and prosecuting solicitor. The pris
oner, in too many cases, is loused upon the public that
he might rejieat his depredations.
The prisoners of North Carolina and its various
counties are faring, on an average, much better than
they did when they were free, and from that stand
point they will not be helped by being loosed, The
trouble is that most prisoners arc |>eoplc who have
never done any legitimate work and dimply want to
get out to continue their lives of worthlessness, sell
ing liquor, playing the games of chance, robbery and
the multitude of mean things that the criminal mind
can devise.

The demands of the world for rub
ber through products that arc indis
pensable to our present mode of living,
require 371.0(H) tons of the crude prod

Since rubber must be taken front
certain tropical trees in the form ot
latex, which is more than sixty per

tonnage required to supply the rubbei
manufacturing industry just iu Ameri

wrf MONEY-BACK
Ft is believed that in more than half the cases when
such person.*- are loosed on the public, a real damage
is done, and a majority of those in prison is better
off than when outside.
The price of tobacco seems to be the center of
discussion in Kastern North Carolina these days.
While the farmer's plight continues, in a bad way,
he has now become somewhat seasoned to being rob
bed or badly out-traded in selling his tobacco. He has
become reconciled to his fate; but the marked change
and sudden outburst comes from many of the ware
housemen and politicians lined up against the farmer
during the days when he sought to establish an or
ganization whereby he might be able to at least talk
to the buying company about his tobacco. Then it
was many warehousemen and politicians assumed the
duty uf speaking for the tobacco company and helped
to kill the farmer's efforts to organize; they helped
the companies to get enough tobacco on the outside
to establish an inde[>endence aside from the associ
ation and take its, tobacco at a low price.
Then it was that some of the newspapers were hos
tile to the farmer. We rememl>er Carl Goerch's fa
mo.us airplane (light over Kinston, Greenville, Rocky
Mount and buck to Wilson. His graphic description
of the great wealth and matchless prosperity of these
fine towns was a piece of unusual literature. But the
newspa|K'rnian failed to look down u[x>n the tobacco
fields between these towns and view the struggling
farmer and his wile and children producing the com
modity that made these good towns.
These same farms, many of them, have drifted
from the original owners into the hands of land banks
and others until the noose is making itself felt outside
the farming industry. Owners who could trace their
ancestry hack for more than a century by the grave
stones on the line old farms on which they were born
have not only lost, the farm and homestead through
low-priced tobacco but have lost the ground where
their ancestral bones have lain for hundreds of years.
Now we see the warehouseman, the,newspa|>ers and
Ihe townspeople taking a new attitude. They realize
that the system that destroyed the farmer has now
got them, that they too will soon l)e marching by the
side of the farmer in his poverty to some uncertain
destination.
We are now being struck by the noise of the bull
bellowing politicians who are coming to the rescue of
TtW dearvoienr Kvprrtiovrrnor-Gardner is "expect
ing to say something soon." Of course, it will l»e for
the good of the farmer. If the governor will explain
to every farnief how to make money and the farmer
will take his advice, the problem will be solved,
(jovernor Gardner is both a farmer and a manufac
turer. Me raises cotton and manufactures it and gets
all the profits. He raises tobacco anc? manufactures
it and gets all the profits. He has lost money grow
ing but made good manufacturing. He is a stock
holder in a large tobacco company and according to
figures printed in various pa|>ers, the governor invest
ed $20,000 a few years ago in tobacco stock and it
is now worth $700,000. If he had invested $20,000
in tobacco farming the same day, he would have been
broke ,by now. - v —-
There are only (wo ways for the farmer to come
out on tobacco; one is to manufacture 'his own Tobac
co, the other is for the United States Government to
completely check the tobacco trust.
It will be ini|)ossible to get the farmers to form
any kind of an agreement whereby planting and sell
ing of crop might be regulated. Hither of the
theories is plausible, but impossible. If the far
mer. should attempt to organize, it would be impos
sible for them to agree and the manufacturers would
split them up in factions"
One of the surest and quickest ways for the to
bacco farmer to prosper is to limit his acreage.
