Friday, April 3, 1931 Learn From India and Russia " 0 Conditions in Ru?sia and India are said to be im proving. After all, these two nations we have been looking down upop a-* our inferior-, are showing u- I number of ways to live that we need to appreciate They shoot fewer of their neighbors than we do. Few er of them shout themselves than is the case among our own |>eople. And fewer of them cheat and rob each other than we do. I'erha|>s we would do well to look to others for a while rather than narrow our vi-ion down to our selves and continue it there. Give Everybody a Square Deal There are two spoons to feed taxpayers with, one for the |xK>r man-and another, an entirely, different one for the rich man. The poor man's tax list is open to the world for inspection. Anybody can see what the farmer values his horses, hogs and cows at. He is fed from the old time pewter spoon. When the rich man comes up to.list his income, th ■ silver spoon* are brought out, and the.common folks arc told that his tax list is none of the r bu-iness, that it is best for them not to know what the rich make. Our forefathers said, "a government with equal rights to all and special privileges to none." And yet we are fools enough to say we are a democracy when such autocratic-favorti-m as that exists in our very midst. Let the North Carolina legislature give everybody a squire deal and make every man's tax return a a public record. If it is done many liars will be caught. March Weather and the Crops March gave u* U cold days this year; there wasn t a single warm day in the entire month. Several rains fell, but they failed to till the creeks and swamps. The weather during the |>eriod was so peculiar that even the weather prophets, 'farm forecasters are all baffled and the groundhog is now branded as a de ceiver. Some farmers say it is going to be a good crop year because the first thunder cloud of the year passed to the north. Others say that it is not going to be a good crop year because the first thunder cloud went north. But there are still a few who have set tled down to prepare, plant and cultivate in the very best way they can their crops regardless of the way the clouds go. These aro the farmers who generally make good crops even if the weather is a little too wet or a little to dry for favorable farming. Good seasons are essential to the production of good crops, but more crops suffer from grass than they do from too much rain or ordinary drought. This is the year to fertilize moderately, cultivate thoroughly and take the weather as it comes. Many, if not all the farmers who follow this course, will succeed this year. Better Feeling Prevailing Should the I'hillipines be granted immediate in dependence? is a question that has been discussed at great length, and it is now before the high schools of the State. Another question arises, What do the young people think about the I'hillipines? Our country has been true to human nature in that NOTICE OP BALE ' Under and by virtue of the power of tale contained in a certain deed of trust to the undersigned trustee by H. M. Peel and wife.

C. offer for sale to the highest bidder for cash the fol following described real estate, to * Beginning at Slade's corner, a stob, thence in a Northerly and Easterly directkw atoig the line H.M.^Psd it refuses to give it up. Our preachments of liberty to all largely means us, rather than.the other fellow. Of course, it is a fine thing for us to serd a few hundred hungry office holders and station a small army over there and dominate their trade. It has now been a third of a century since we told Spain that the I'hillipines should be a free and in dependent nation, and we were so firm in that con viction that we went to the trouble to declare war against Spain. We whipped Spain and made hef Turn I the Phillipines over to us. S'nce that time we have ! clung to the loot ourselves. While it is true that we have treated that country as well and perhaps better than any o'.her n ition would have treated it, there is no reason why the Filipinos should be given a chance. Of course, one reason for our course is that ve fear Japan and thipk she might eventually take them over. Our idea for world freedom is being violated by our own acts with the excuse that they need us to take care of them, when as a matter of pure, plain white truth, we want them for our own trade purposes. The Philippine Question ! We are feeling betjer. We are thinking more of welfare of our neighbors and friends than we did; we have more time to aid and assist them. We are less critical We are thinking more of our future days. We are reaching that point where we appreciate the necessities of life and care less for those things that call us from the paths of duty. As we gradually arouse ourselves from the dreadful nightmare of extravagance, whimsical wants and idle I dreams of pleasure and learn that we are on'y hu man beings with duties and obligations, we will nat urally feel better. Of course, many people owe money and that may lie worrying them, but if we do j our best we cannot be blamed. So then the main thing to do now is to do right, content ourselves with j whatever lot that is ours and be happy. No Profits in Any Glutted Market Farmers who are hauling hogs to Richmond these days are happier than those who sold tobacco last fall and winter. Yet, it will not be wise to raise too many hogs, because a glutted hog market is just like a glutted tobacco or cotton market —it means no profit. The real need of the farmer is to raise his own meat and lard, for then the price of meat will not concern him. The little farmer who too often dodges work and will not feed a few pigs and arrange a l'ttle pas ture for them because it take a little energy is the fellow who has done much to help break the coun try. They have demanded their landlord or time mer chant to do all the furnishing and take it out of the crop.-; v —l__ This system is never going to make us a prosperous people. We must have our own smokehouses and corn cribs or stand the chance of going hutjgry. A Wide Difference In the year 1929, the labor cost, including official management of all manufactured produts in North Carolina, was $207,550,717. This labor produced goods valued at $1,301,310,152, a resulting difference of $1,093,759,435 to l»e divided between cost of raw materials and profits. In 1927, the value of products was $1,154,646,612, an amount less by $146,663,540 than the 1929 figure. The labor cost in 1929 increased only 1.7 per cent, while the value of the products was increased 12.7 per cent. A study of these figures will show a vast sum ex isting lietween the cost of labor and the value of the raw products. Everything produced from the fields, forests, earth and waters of North Carolina added to the labor cost of manufacturing will leave a very large sum between the total cost and the total value of the manufactured products. This is one of the reasons why the little man is having a hard time try ing to live and get tax relief. Knute Rockne's Passing We regret the sudden deith of Knute Rockn?, the great football star and Notra Dame eleven coach. And even though he has achieved great fame in his work, what great good has he done? The scientist large and labors throughout a life time that discoveries important to mankind might be made. His passing is noted in the journals, but the public hardly concerns itself to the extent to read his obitu ary. As a result, thousnnds after thousands flock to the colleges of our country with a football uniform as their goal and the arts and sciences as their side lires.' There are those, however, who go in for the more serious things in li e, but the conditions even now existing around our millions of people call for others than athletic geniuses, great incorporators and manipulators. * i thence with the line fence to the amil ton and Palmyra Road, thence along the Hamilton and Palmyra Road to the beginning, containing 30 acres more or less and being the' same land that was conveyed to said H.
