Tuesday, April 7, 1931 Alcohol and Democracy Do Not Mix That fellow Raskob is still trying to kill the Demo cratic party. He can not be satisfied without trying to drown the parly in liquor which seems to be the paramount question in his entire [xilitical make-up. In other matters, he is distinctly an old-line Re publican of the high-tariff type. His theory on the prohibition question has less merit in it than'any other-suggestion. He advocates per mitting each State to handle the question as it wishes, which would annul the entire law. He knows New Jersey can not have a wet law and Delaware a dry law. It would have the same effect on the country that a cancer on one ■foot or leprosy on one hand would have on the human Ixidy. The foot or the hand would pollute'and kill the whole body. There is a great liquor influence in the country try ing to own and possess a political party; and Mr. Raskob came over from the Republican party to bid onrne Democratic party. But democracy refused to confirm his bid in 1928. - v - The party that tries to establish itself on an alco hol basis is doomed and will surely die. Raskob ought to know humanity is determined to march upward and not downward into the slums of fife, and that no party can preserve its self-respect on a liquor platform. Wherein Mr. Dowell Is Wrong Willard 1.. Dowell, secretary of the North Carolina Merchant Association errs when he says the gemral sales tax will cost every person in Martin County $.5 each. If lv- statement i-; tuir. it means that every person in this county is s'peixding S3OO annually fop his liv ing expenses which is entirely too high an estimate. Averaging the family at 5 |>ersons, it would mean a family expenditure of $1,500 annually, which is at least twice too high in this section. While the luxury tax is far preferable, Mr. Dowell is absolutely wrong in saying a general sales tax will ruin the Country. Farm Conditions Changing The puzzling question, ' How am 1 going to farm this year?'' is pre sng very hard on many farmers •right at this time. *'~ l Some are about to give up in despair. They are without seed, feed, or fertilizers, and food and cloth ing for their families. It is, indeed, a gloomy day for them. Now is a time when they are being forced to change their plans. Our type of extravagant farming has brought us to this condition in lots of cases. Now, if we can't farm as we have be n doing in the past few years, we can follow the old kind of farming, before we had town fertilizer. We can make something if we only do our best. What a tragedy—that |>eople who live in one of the finest farming regions on earth are going hungry for food! Wc can produce everything we really need to SALE OF VALUABLE FARM PROPERTY Under and by virtue of the author ity conferred upon us in a deed of trust executed by Joseph Early and wife, Felica E. Early on the 28th day of March, 1923 and recorded in Book 0-2, Page 281, We will on Saturday the , 18th/ day of April 1931 12 o'clock noon at the Courthouse door in Martin County, Willianiston, N. C, sell at public auction for cash to the highest bidder the following land, to-wit: A tract of land lying and being in Goose Nest Township, Martin Coun ty, State of North Carolina, beginning at the intersection of the McGce Branch with the Palmyra Road, thence with the various courses of the said branch the following callings, S. 2.00 W. 8.15 chs. thence S. 12.& E. 13.00 chs. thence S. 3.45 W. 6.00 chs thence S. 6.10 W. 8.50 chs. thence S. 1L45 W. 5.60 chs. to the mouth of Marsh Branch; thence with the said Marsh Branch the followmg callings, S. 87.30- E. 15.20 chs. thence N. -78 E. 18.00 chs. thence N. 36 E. 10.00 chs. to I pine, thence S. 55 E. 3 chs. to the run of Marsh Branch thence N. 32 E. 1 chn. thence N. 56.45 E. 16.10 chs.' thence N. 57 1-2 E. 2.90 chs. to the Palmyra Road, thence up the said road N. 54 W. 45.45 chs. to a turn in the said road, thence S. 71.30 W. 8.30 j chs. thence S. 76.15 W. 7.37 chs. to the beginning, containing 152.16 acres. This sale k made by reason of the; failure of Joceph Early and wife, Fe licia E- Early to pay off and dis charge the indebtedness secured fcjr make us happy right here on our farms and yet we have lived out of tin cans and mortgaged our homes to buy them. . A new day will soon come. Our next wave of pros perity will come from another direction. We tried the game of raising crops and letting somebody buy them, and then in turn sell us the things we had to have to cat —a process which has cost us many mil lions of dollars, enough, in fact, to bankrupt us. The great bulk of the folks will have to live far more eco nomically during the next decade or two than they ever have—in fact, they will h sve to come just about to the place our forefathers occupied SO years ago. The United States Chamber of Commerce an nounces that thti business men of the world are soon going to meet to tackle the economic problem. They are mighty late in getting down to this job. The greater bulk of the people of tbe world have been grappling with this problem for at least two years. That organization called the United States Chamber of Commerce is strictly a business organization made up the wealthy people of the nation whose main pur puose is to receive dividends rather than to foster business sympathy and equality among men. The laborer has had a great food shrinkage and has had to bear it. We fear the purpose of the commerce meeting goes no further than to try to boost dividends, rather than to more closely cooperate and coordinate labor and business so that all might get some relief from the pressure and stress that is bearing the world down, due principally, to the effects of the world war and other economic waste Men come and go, and we aprpaise their worth to the world according to their deeds, which may mean many types of service. It may mean service in money value, or in friendly greeting. Hut when the family doctor passes, it brings to our minds new types of service something that counts more than money, something of the ministry of guard ian angels, giving hope and assurance when we are in need. The relationship between the family and their doc tor has no parallel in our business, professional, or social lives. We need to be more serious in our rela tions with men and give them our fellowship and friendship in our every day life. Sjteaker Willis Smith resents the insinuation that some members of the Legislature have sold out. We have not heard of any insinuations that anybody has sold out,-but we have heard intimations that a number of members were elected and sent to the General As sembly as the private property of certain great inter ests and that they have been for their employers in almost every struggle, Mr. Smith should read that Scripture, "Where your treasure is, there your heart also is." And human nature has not so chang d that the a>s does not know his master's crib—which makes it very heard for a man who is drawing several thousand dol lars a year from corporate interests to do a thing that would cost his employer many thousands in taxes. Nobody denies the fact that a man who gets his principal income from one source can not be honest to all people. Hut Mr. Smith should remember that there are two lines of thought involved in this great controversy. On the one s'de is found the great mul titude of |>eople seeking the very needs of life; on the other side are those who are seeking and for 20 years professional politicians and corpor ate lawyers have written the tax laws of North Car olina. There is a vast difference between individual and corporate wealth, as every knows. Wealth veils itself in the guise of a corporation, which has no face to slap, but which at once seeks sprcial favors. Speaker Smith ought to know by this time that men who serve corporations for a long number of years too~ often lose sympathy for the human side of do not make trusted judges, executives, or legislator , That has been proven time and again in our United Slates senatorial investigations. The people certainly think there are too many trust lawyers in our Legislature for everybody to get a square deal. A deposit of 10 per cent will be re • quired from the purchaser at the sale.
