The East Is Willing To Do Its Part The State administration's little tin horn, J. C. Bas kerville, has tooted again. He is now belittling East ern North Carolina because it pays so little taxes. Why doesn't he tell the whole story, so the people will understand it? 'lTie truth is, the great factories of the Piedmont have buried their roots so deep in the raw-product producing section ,of North Carolina and sucked the field so dry that the East is not able to pay the taxes. Somebody else has sucked their profits until they only get half cost for their field protucts, and they are losing their homes by the thous ands. ~ The East is willing to play the role of producer, and is willing to pay its fair share of taxes, and it Nhas always done so, and nvfre, too. But; when a section is stripped of all it has and is then shot at with political bunk, the righteous in dignation of patriotic citizens is kindled. J-et Mr. Baskerville note the fact that when Eastern North Carolina was making money, it paid taxes without a murmur, or a complaint, or a lobby. Catch Up With the World The new ruling permitting railroads to raise freight rates will apparently work out about like the millers,, who have now adopted the rule of grinding a bushel " of corn and taking the meal and an extra bushel of corn for the toll. If the farmer's tobacoc goes any lower, and the freight charges go much higher, it will take two hogs heads of tobacco to |>ay the freight on one. Farmers ought to charge more for their crops and keep up with the rest of the world. A Christmas Gift A Precious \: 4 • A Christmas and Birthday Trust can be issued in units of SIO,OOO with any one of our regular plans of insurance. The at tractive provisions of this Trust are as follows: » i t —i . * T* 1. An income to the wife of SSO a month for 20 * years...after the death of the insured...sl2,ooo. 4 2. Should the wife die before the 20 years are completed, the rmainder may he commuted and paid in a lump sum to the estate of the beneficiary or to the children. {• -./ • • ■ | Not one man in a hundred, we venture, has any conception that he can provide in advance in so practical and economical a way as this. When he does this, he will leave behind him a precious memory of loving thoughtfulness. WHAT MORE APPROPRIATE CHRISTMAS GIFT COULD BE GIVEN W. G. PEELE ' . ' - •* - •" . Our Big Two-Ring Circus Begins Congress has entered on its long hair-pulling politi cal football campaign. After all, it looks like the main issue is getting elected next time. Even when people are crying for relief nothing is done that will hurt the party, even if it would help the people. One thing seems pretty well settled. That is that the politicians are hankering after the money bags. Perhaps what the country needs is to kill business and let the people survive. We need a different busi ness barometer. As it is now, when a few big con cerns are getting big dividends, business is supposed to be good, even if the common herd is?starving. The trouble is that the world's income has been absorbed in dividends, a condition that has gone so far that all the money is in the hands of the few. Return of Silver Would Help ! _ Arthur Brisbane, noted editorial writer, says Amer ica can restore prosperity by stabiliziftg silver, just as England has done, which is bringing much trade to England from the Orient. Mr. Brisbane is right. Putting silver back into common use will raise the price of peanuts, cotton, tobacco, wheat atjd practically everything that we [x>ssess, with the excepti6n of gold, which it will low er, and mortgages, which it will also lower. That is, if a man holds a SI,OOO mortgage on a $5,000 home or farm, it is now worth more than either, because under existing conditions the mortgage will take the whole farm or the home, but if the price of the prod ucts of the farm is raised, then the mortgage will not take more than half the farm. \ But the tug comes when we get to Washington. The gold holders and the mortgage holders say "Squeeze 'em down," for the lower you carry land, houses, and merchandise, the higher you carry gold. "We few money lords," they say, "have the gold, and the people own the property, and we can take it at our own figures." Of course, that is what they are doing. The gold in this country is standing like a lion in the path of prosperity and killing the value of every thing else except itself. War-Making Psychologists It seems strange that as soon as a man gets pro motion he goes in for big expenditures. The new American Legion commander, Henry L. Stevens, has been doped with the idea that we need great means of defense. Well, if we keep robbing the folk's—at home and abroad—by high tariffs and go at everything for rough and tumble graft, he may be right. But what Mr. Stevens needs to do is to ad vise and work -for peace and prosperity. We are al ready spending nearly all of our Government money for war. Just as long as we follow such a line of ex travagance we will have hard times all the time and a bloody war occasionally. The folks that make war are great psychologists, whether they know it or not. They can make fools of the people all the time.
