Tuesday, July 28, 1931 The Better Way Mussolini has chosen the higher and the better way. He says there are only two leads to war, the other tp peace—and that he has chosen the one that leads toward peace. No man in all of the wrold's history has ever, chosen a better way. He goes further and says the people must not be disillusioned, .the date of the peace conference must not be postponed. While the world, in a fit of passion, foolishly slayed 10,000,000 men. and wounded three times as many, besides almost bankrupting itself during the |>ast 16 years—which can justly be classed as one of the major crimes recorded in history—yet it was not as foolish, and perhaps no greater crime, than our failure to make peace. Now that we see such men as Mussolini, Ramsey McDonald, Herbert Hoover, together with the heads of practically every nation on earth advocating |jeace, that means safety and justice for all. It is a real sign that the heart of the world is growing better. If we can put on a peace program and follow it for a century it will cut the tax burden for all purposes by two thirds, and will increase the happiness of man kind many fold The whole world ought to sing ' Peace on earth and good will toward men." Revising the School System Numerous complaints about the loss of teachers in various schools in the State, also on account of the loss of many community schools, are heard. Some of the changes are doubtless not for the best, yet in the most part they will work for the better, and we may expect great improvements* in our school work during the coming few years, and at a much lower cost. The ideal system will IK' changed into a working organization, ami children will l>e required to work more, teachers will have to carry on a vigilant cam paign of work, and parents need to fall in line to help give their children the best, possible education. That is the course that will make them honorable, useful, de pendable, citizens, rather than the care less ,thoughtless, high-flying, undefendable, reckless and spendthrift type. If we do not educate better it will l»e a matter of only a short time before all of our resources are de voured and our independence gone. We still have the manhood to come back, and through the doors of our public free schools are the only entrances to pros perity; and though the task may IK* hard and the load heavy, a citizenship with minds trained to make a living and maintain society will survive. We must have schools and use them as a means to prepare us for work and not for the purpose of try ing to dodge work. A Serious Problem What will become of the cheap to medium grades of tobacco is now a frequent question in the tobacco sections. Heretofore, the Kxport Leaf Tobacco Com pany has been by far the largest buyer of such grades. Now, since they have announced a policy of less ac tivity, the question is "What will become of these grades?" Evidently, it means lower price on the types the Export has bene buying. The Raleigh druggist, if be can organize his company of farmers and induce them to pool their Export grades and manufacture brand of their own, giving the poor people a cheaper cigarette, will make good dividends for the farmer. ( A Very, Very, Unusual Case The Tarboro Southerner recently made the state ment in reporting a case in which the hearing was »et for a later term ofthe court, "Since the affair, there have been many rumors afloat, but the true statement of all the facts in the case will come out at the mayor's court Mooday morning." Now, in contrast with most trials, we can see a vast difference between them and this case. For when did anybody ever see a true statement of all the facts M a ay am with two rides to it? The rule is for one aide to make ft appear a little better, and the other ■ids to make it a little worse than it really la. We would really like to hear this case. A Note oi Warning The politicians have at last admitted they don't know who will be the next governor. The puzzling point is that more people are thinking for than in former years, and the value of the specially prepared campaign bulletin has been pressed down by the bears—the common folks —and the bulls—the money folks—can't run it up again. Even the wisest of our politicians, who have always counted it wisdom not to talk, admit that one candi date, at least, made a mistake by not ulking frankly when asked where he stood on certain questions. He only greased himself and slipped through the crowd trying not to scratch anybody. From that day on his star began to set, until now it only shines dimly. This is not only a warning of what is going to be required of the American politician in the future, but it is our only hope for the future. When men come before the people to serve them, they will not only be askd what they stand for, but will have to stand up to their principles after they are elected. One of our chief troubles today comes from the practice of electing men with one profession and an other principle. Only Hope Is In the Farm President Hoover does not have to make a special survey of conditions to find that more people will lie hungry next winter than last. There is no plainer fact fating the people than that unless millions are fed through some system of charity, whether by pri vate, muncipal, cbunty, State or national donation, many will starve to death. Some say let them go to work, which is in many cases, utterly foolish. There are those, however, who might work. .But in centers where several millions of people live in huts and hovels, not their own, and with the business which has heretofore supported them gone, they have no place to turn. They can t go to the farms now and produce food, and the only thing they can do is to stay in the little huts they now oc cupy and beg food and clothing for their children next winter. . / What Mr. Hoover needs to do is to assist one fourth of.the population to go from cities to the farms of the nation and let them produce for themselves. Most of the people will be forced to put aside their extravagance and pride and look for bread. We should lie to the |x*ople no longer, but should come square with them and tell them their jobs are gone forever and to get away from the dens of starvation and go where nature will, help them produce a living Banner Year lor Cover Crops With seed rye and oats very cheap, this should be our banner year in planting winter cover crops. If every available acre in our county is sown to cover, it will amount to two special investments. First, it will save a third or more of the feed cost for horses, cows, pigs, and fowls during the winter, and it will utilize and hold a large proportion of the fertilizing properties, which leach out and wash away during the winter if not protected. No farmer in this county should permit his land to remain bare and exjjosed during the long fall, win ter, and spring rains, when the fertility saved and the food value produced are worth many times the cost of seeding. Winter oats will go through most winters, and rye never dies from cold weather in this territory. Empty Promises Mean Nothing iMurinburg Exchange *- Mr, Tyre C. Taylor presents the case well, but one has a let-down feeling at the last. He leads the reader up the step 6 to expectation and when the door is open he does not see much. In short, Mr. Taylor thinks North Carolina should be made more beauti ful and attractive.. He would have a great symphony orchestra, search out and mark historic spots, develop and promote outdoor sports, give thought to the devel opment of our natural resources, and make a scientific study of the subject of marketing as applied to North Carolina products. . Mr. Taylor has the enthusiasm of youth. His un willingness to surrender to poverty, to give up in de spair in this critical hour of the State's history, is most commendable. Optimism, an indomitable out look, are indispensable now. We agree with him that North Carolina is not going backward, her people will never be satisfied with a second-rate civilization. But we are practical enough to believe that the time has come for us to cut out the frills, the non-essentials, quit boasting, get down to hard work, dig in, and hold what we've got until times get better. "Ten glorious years of progress and achievement" that Mr. Taylor reviews so vividly were made possible largely by a mortgage on the future earning power of our people. Roads and schools were built with borrowed money and "debt service" is the greatest single burden of the taxpayer today. One thing is certain, we can not have another glorious ten years at such a price. Another thing v „ In working its way out of the mire of economic depression North Carolina must have ef ficient and honest government. And by honest we mean consistency in policy, in thought, and in legisla tion. There must be an equitable distribution of the tax burden. Empty promises mean nothing. If con cessions and sacrifices are to be made, all must share in them. Look Out tor Hooks The impression seems to prevail that the big folks 1 are dropping their fight for a Governor, and that they J are now fishing for senators and a lieutenant gover nor, since they are the fellows who past the tax laws, after all. Even wise fish are sometimes victims of hidden hooks. This it a time to look for hooka. THE ENTERPRISE STATE HOLDING FIFTH PLACE IN WOOD PRODUCTS ♦ North Carolina entrenched herself still further as the leader in the manu facture of wooden bedroom and din ing room furniture nad maintained her position as the fifth State in the manu facture of all kinds of wooden houqft liold furniture is rapidly gaining isi popularity over metal furniture. The value of wooden household furniture produced in the United States increas ed from $572,488,443 in IJ>27 to $611,- 680,810 in 1929, or by £.B per cent; while during the satire period metal house furniture declined by 24.6 per cent, or from $40,390,224 to $30,443,464. In North Carolina bedroom furni ture makes up the largest portion of the total value of all furniture manu factured. In 1929 this item "alone a mounted to more than half the total value of all household furniture, or $27,702,092, as compared with $26,523,- 852 in 1927. The second most import ant class of furniture produced in this State is wooden dining room furniture. In 1929 this item was value at $13,- 735,485, which represented a slight de cline as compared with the 1927 valu ation of $14,408,118. Living room fur niture ranks third in value, amount ing to $9,244,988 in 1929, aifcompared with $7,643,494 in 1927. Porch furni ture increased in value from $291,904 in 1927 to $646,578 in 1929; hall furni ture from approximately eleven thous and to baout thirty-seven thousand dollars hi 1929; and miscelalneous and unclassified items increase from $377,- 895 in 1927 to $612,792 in 1929. In 1929 all wooden household furniture manufactured in North Carolina a mounted in value to $53,414,111, which represented an increase of 4.6 per cent over the $50,996,065 worth of wooden furniture manufactured for household use in 1927. Conservation officials pointed out that the value of metal and fibre fur niture is not included in the above to tals for North Carolina as those fig ures arc not yet available. In 1927, these two items amounted to more than two and a half million dollars. Assum ing that the 1929 valuations were as Kreat as those of 1927, and they were perhaps greater, the total value of all kinds of furniture manufactured in the State would approximately fifty-six million dollars. The tot alulavehl.m million dollars. The total value in 1927 was $53,551,220.
