Tuesday, July 7, 1931 What We Wanted and What We Got After all, the only difference in what we wanted and what we got is this: the State wanted to collect a tax from the smokers to support the schools while the tobacco companies wanted to collect a bigger tax on tobacco products from those who use them that they might enlarge their dividends. And of course, Mr. Lloyd Lawrence, Mr. Charles Whedbee and fellows who relished the smiles of the big gang are delighted to see the people paying more for luxuries so long as the money is going into the pockets of the "papas" who apparently adopted them. How Would You Invest $1,000? Young man, how would you invest® thousand dol lars if you had ft? This question is not so important just now because there are so few .who have that much money. Vet, it involves a very important principle, a principle that we are subject to fail in solving. Within the past fifteen years, most investments have been made in land and stocks, both of which have carried a majority of the investors into bankruptcy. Only a small proportion has been ulaced in the mer cantile game, which has also proved rather unsatis factory. A rather large amount has gone into cars and trucks and now that is no more. So many disasters have befallen the investor that people are afraid of everything and no body is willing to put one dollar in anything for fear of a resulting loss, and for that reason the average person is spend his money for nothing except food and clothing and throwing away what he gets beyond the amount re quired to buy the bare necessities. By this process, we are rapidly going backward, and before we car\, expect a return of satisfactory business we must begin a rebuilding program. As all prosperity has land as its permanent base, land will evidently be the best in vestment for the young man with the SI,OOO. Neither the American mines, mills, factories nor the mercantile trade will revive until the fields begin to show a profit. There is today no visable reason why any man should invest in the so-called leading stocks of the country, because the buying public is unable to buy. No prudent young man can afford to enter the mer cantile trade today because that field is badly over crowded already: The man who s|iends all his money on popular pleasures of the day will soon regret the act; that is, if he has any memory at all and a brain with which to think. The man who invests in land will have a place to live and from which he and his posterity for centuries will be able to produce a good living and make useful and happy citizens. Mr. Hoover Grows Mr. Hoover has grown in popularity of late, not only in his own country but also throughout the world, and k has all come about because of his bold attempt to force to the front one of the principal policies found in Wilson's League of Nations treaty. It is strange what power, truth and justice have over evil. The Monroe doctrine made the war dogs of the world tremble and bow a hundred years ago because it was honest in principle. Hoover's policy of pro tecting a suffering nation has made the most avaricious people surrender because they could not face and fight tmth. What we need most is aome power in the world to remove the heel of the money gods from the neck of maa and the nations of the world. Had the League of Nations been approved, conditions would not be so critical in the world today. II Mr. Hoover will kick a few of the upper gang the common people of America, things will take a tan lor the better. He should do it. * ' - Now, Who'M a Luxury-Taxer? hmwy tax of which to much has been said duriag the past six months has come at last, but not la Manner and form aa was so hotly advanced in our hat legislature. The luxury tax act was paased by tha tobacco crwpamea themselves, and they «rill get the nmii i—Had of the children of the State. The ofs* 4f cents per thousand, the amount of the price fcoaaac, will every penny go into the pockets of the namfarlwiiia and not for tha educating of our chil- PUBLiaMBD CVIRY Foolish Expenditures * my do men, in these time# of world-wide depret sion, make foolish expenditures and impoverish their minds and bodies, even tbeir very souls? It is now a common thing to see people wasting their very limited number of pennies for an over-dose of pleas ure while their children show every indication of want for nourishment. The unreasonable demand for pleasure that now grips our nation so firmly will, in the near future, result in more pellagra, more tuber culosis, more insanity and such other diseases that attack weak bodies. It is to be regretted that with all of our boasted in telligence that we have to be driven to sensible living by actual starvation. We need to be taught how to spend money as well as how to make money. Raleigh's Recall Movement Raleigh citizens do not like their ruler, or a num ber of them do not. It woyld be a marvel if everyone liked him. No ruler that is good suits bad people, and no ruler that is bad suits good people; so there is always a ready conflict between the good and the bad. Not knowing enough about the issues, we do not take sides in the proposed recall of Mr. Williamson, the city's com missioner of public safety, we do not offer an opinion. However, Raleigh, in the past; has been afflicted with bad influences. Conventions, legislatures and many other assemblies have gathered there, and made up, in [>art at least, by rowdies and people who have demanded extensive privileges, and they have prob ably influenced the city government to the point Where many things go by unnoticed. It would be ■fair to Raleigh to say that her reputation has prob ably l>een spoiled more by her visitors than by the acts of her own people. Up to the Farmers Themselves What would have happened if the Federal Farm Hoard had bought enough cotton to hold the price to 15 cents per pound and enough wheat to keep the price at $1.33 a bushel? While most farmers want high prices it must be rememlxred that whenever the government buys enough of these products to boost the price, it will soon have to build larger storehouses to hold the ever-increasing over-production. After all the |>eople will have to make their own prosperity. The government that undertakes to buy the surplus to help the farmer must have the cooper ation of the farmer in reducing the production or it will go broke. Sunshine Follows Raiip Roger Babson, noted writer on economic questions, says that "the old law of action and reaction teaches now that unparallelled prosperity will follow the de pression." He thinks that recovery will be slow but that it has started and that now it is only a question of time when business will improve and in fact will be better than it ever was. This is a cheerful theory, and if everybody believed it good times would be here in a jiffy. Many theories have been advanced and much thought given as to the cause of the business depres sion that has affected the whole civilized world now for some two years or more. The World War, the use of labor-saving machniery, overproduction of many things, poor methods of distribution and what not have been blamed for the hard times. Here in the United States some jwliticians lay the trouble to the tariff and the Hoover administration. Ferhajw it . would be more honest for all concerned to say frankly that they do not know anything about it. Just epi demics ol disease sweep yver the earth from time to time and no man knoweth whence they came nor whither they goeth, so it seems to be as to the business disturbances that visit all countries from time to time. Whatever the cause of the depression-may be, as surely as day follows night, normal business conditions will return. It may be, as Mr. Babson says, an era of great prosperity will follow. We judge the future by the |>ast, and we know that just as clear weather follows storms so good business poor. We should all understand this and so Adjust our affairs as to be able to take advantage of what the future has in store for us.— Beaufort News. The Governor Is Right Whatever eles may be said about Governor Gard ner, the fact remains that he has stopped serving gravy with State jobs, and all those fellows who have lieen sitting under electric fans with their feet on the table, will have to take their turn, in the future, just like the rest of we poor folks. The governor has done another thoughtful thing. He will provide insurance for all the fellows in the several departments who die from overwork, and he already has a waiting list to take the places of all who die from the effects of an overdose of work, and all those who resign. The governor is right. When all the people fare alike, we are going to have a good time, and everybody will be happy. There Is Yet Hope There is yet hope for the country. The Democrats and Republicans are all agreeing on one thing. A fine spirit it is, too. Now, when political parties get to the point that they try to help the country rather than tear down earh other, things will get better, The bitter political controversies in the past have generally been waged to fool the folks, in order that a few selfihs designers could get hold of the reins of government for the especial benefit of their friends. And, for'that reason, the masses have been forgotten. It now looks like we are beginning to observe princi ple, which shows there is still enough intelligence in tha country to term a decent government, if we would all eliminate our bad and consolidate our good.
