Friday, April 29, 1932 Violating a Fundamental Principle Why should people be forced to support churches? There >as a time jvhen many nations taxed the pub lic for the support of a church or churches, and there are still a few such countries. Yet it is generally ac cepted as a just and true principle to permit every man the right to be for any religion he likes or for no religion if he chooses. The State is for all - [ieople,. therefore all people are required to pay taxes toward its support. It is understood that a request will be presented to the Town Board of Williamston at its next meeting to relieve the churches of the town from the payment of paving assessments. This is a stab at Thomas Jefferson, who said that the church and state should forever be separated. Now, when the churches are relieved, the burden of their portion of the assessments is thrown on the people at large—those who are for the church and those who are against it alike. In other words, if a man does not like to support the church—whether or is held up and made to do so anyway. Jews and Catholics will have to help keep up Protestant churches, under this plan, whether they like it or not. It is simply a case of forcing one kind of religion down another fellow's throat, regardless of his wishes in the matter, to the extent of making him help take care of the church's property. People generally feel that the churches should take care ql their own property, rather than violate a principle of government which we have cherished so long—and guaranteed us by our constitution —the absolute separation of church and state. Some argue that it is a small thing for churches to ask for relief. It will help raise the burden of tax ation on others, until widow's homes are sold to pay paving taxes. If a man doesn't like the church, don't force him to support it. Postponing the Evil Day The question of selling property for taxes on the first Monday in June is being discussed throughout the State. The law requires the commissioners to or der the sale, and they have no alternative or choice in the matter. No settlement can be made, nor can any new taxes be collected until the sale is made and a final accounting filed by the tax collector. The fact that land is sold for taxes does not neces sarily mean that the owner immediately loses title, for he still has about three years in which to redeem his property before title can be passed to another. It can not be denied that people are depressed and that many can not pay their taxes. However, those people who economize and pay their bills will have to pay higher taxs if others are permitted to go from year to year without paying. One of our greatest troubles throughout the past years has come from putting off "pay-day" too long. Our Tariff Wall Well, it makes no difference how high a tariff wall England builds, she can't get out of speaking distance with the United States. We Americans are leaders when it cotnes to building high tariff walls. We are always away Out in front. In fact, we have gone too far, and when other nations retaliate with prohibitive tariff rates, it is going to penalize our trade. Dollar Worth Too Much The Washington Progress spoke the truth when it said the only one cure for the hard times is changing the value of the dollar. The dollar is worth too much now; it buys too much labor. i • ' ' * O - . North Carolina Still Dry Beaufort News. The wet and dry vote which the literary Digest is taking is still going on gad so far the wet side is very much in the lead. In North Carolina the two sides are about even, but in most of the other states, ex cept Kaunas, the anti-prohibitionists are considerably ahead. We believe that there has been some increase in the sentiment against prohibition, but in so far as North Carolina is concerned, a real »Wtir>n would show the Mate in the prohibition column. PUBLISHED KVntV TJJIJDAYAHD^FmDAV Watch These Fellows! Is U just and right tor men who are on the state's pay rolj for performing certain duties to lay down their work and go into the field to try to elect cer tain men to high offices who will be favorable to their -reappointment to the. .offices they-are. -now.Jiegkfilng > while they still draw their salaries and expenses? The folks ought to watch these fellows who are drawing salaries from the state and see who they are for, then think a little, and then be sensible. Every man of that type should be cut off of the public pay roll, and there are plenty of them. It is unfair and dangerous for the pay roll gang to take charge of the political campaigns between contestants of the party that is supporting them. Vet that is just what is going on in this good old state of ours, and still some folks talk about clean politics. Massachusetts a Poor Barometer Massachusetts has no desire to elect a Democratic President. What that state has tried to do for 60 years is to crush the Democratic party and milk the South and Massachusetts as a national barometer, it will be sure to run into a storm before the fall passes. Pennsylvania's Puny Primary That Pennsylvania Democratic primary vote be tween Roosevelt and Smith was certainly a puny thing. With 40 per cent of the precincts heard from, indications are that the total vote of Smith and Roose velt will not run much over 250,000 votes. If the same ratio holds good throughout the count, which is extremely small in a State that cast 3,122,968 votes in the last general election, it will be less than one fourth of the last Democratic vote. If the two rivals for delegates can only get one-fourth as many \fotes as was cast for Smith in the last election, then it would seem that both men are extremely weak, or that the party is dying in that state. . - Wisdom would indicate that the party should go South or West for a leader. The North has run our politics and our business too long. Who Has Raeson To Complain Mr. Rockefeller sorely complained at his great losses because stock prices have gone down. Yet Mr. Rockefeller still owns his property. The "gang" still owns the electricity, the oil, the gas, the railroads, the chemicals, the tin pans, the tobacco, and all and every other thing in the country and at Washing ton. It is true that stocks are down, but still they have more value than ever. Only a few years ago a land bank mortgage cover ed only half the value of a farm. Now, it covers it all, and gets the whole farm when it is sold. Still the land bank bonds are worthly only 40 cents on the dol lar. Be that as it may, it is not the land bank that is getting it in the neck; it is th e poor landowner who is the loser. He loses his whole farm when he thought he was only mortgaging half of it when the loan was made. Nor did the mortgage holder expect to get the whole farm when r he made the loan., Now, the net result is that the bondholder gets twice as much from his investment as he expected. The holder of tke bonds has no reason to complain. The poor fellow who marches his weeping family from the old home to enter some rented hovel is the fellow who has had the hard luck from the depression. The stockholders and speculators and bondholders of the country are trying to raise sympathy by say ing that the value of their stocks have gone down, when the truth is that they have much more property now than in better times. ' The stock and produce gambler is'a menace to prosperity and civilization. Dawes Takes His Stand — -* ■' Mr. Dawes seems to be on the side of the "money gang." He thinks it would be disastrous for the gov ernment to issue $2,400,000,000 in additional cur rency. He says to inflate the currency of the coun try—that is, put more money in circulation, will de stroy the confidence in the country which has now been reestablished. Such a statements doubtless untrue as to its effect on 999 out of every 1,000 people. Such an action by the government would break the death grip of the money barons, who have locked up the money of the country to such an extent that it takes five times as many farms to pay the interest on their bonds as it took when the bonds were issued. And then, too, Mr. Dawes seems inclined to stand with the banking interests in dominating the money system. Our government has turned its money sys tem over to the bankers of the country (o contract and expand as they please. The Federal Reserve Banks are permitted to issue ten times as much cur rency as their capital and surplus, loan it to whomso ever they please, and charge interest for their own ac count, with no profit to the government, because the government has no stock whatever in the Federal Re serve System. Nor does the government boss banks that issue the currency; on the other hand, the > banks actually boss the government. The Federal Rserve Bank of the Fifth District has issued and now has outstanding $109,346,920 worth of Federal Reserve notes, yet it only has a capital and surplus of $16,960,966.30. In other words, the mone tary system of our country is a bankers' monopoly, for the big banks only. It is so handled that money is good, but corn, wheat and labor are not good. If the labor and products of the country were safeguard ed as well as the money is we would havei no panics ,and all woUld be good. As it is, nothing but money is good and by certain methods, the money is cornered in the hands of the few. THE ENTERPRISE ODD - BUT-TRUE • • —— ' r— ww %mm o» THI kckou TOBK m THI Y a, £*.

The Southj has little competition in cottons of l this length, hut it is producing more •of the three-fourths and seventh-; of the three-fourths and seven-eighths inch cottofis than local mills can use.' When this is exported, it comes into competition with cotton of similar, staple length grown by the cheap la- 1 bor. of India and China. Thus does I'. H. Rime, plant breed er of the North Carolina Experiment Station at State College, argue for the growing of inch and better cottons this season. Mr. Kime says the premiums paid for this better cotton have not de % creased so rapidly as has the basic price of cotton. During 1931, the premiums were relatively 'higher in proportion to the price of seven eights inch cotton than they have been for several years. "When cotton is selling at from six to seven cents a pound, profitable pro duction may be expected only when highest cash returns an acre are pro cured at the lowest cost a pound. The choice of a variety is one of the im portant factors affecting yield and cash returns," says Mr. Kime. "In addition to having the right staple length, this cotton should set a good crop of bolls, mature reasonably early and produce *a high yield of lint an acre." — Some of the varieties which have given the desirable length of lint and yielded well in North Carolina under tests by the Experiment Station are Mexican, strains Nos. 58, 87 and 128; Cleveland 5, strains 2 and 5; Cleve land 884, strains 2 and 4, and Cleve land 20, strain 3: Down in the lower coastal plain, where cotton grows rank and boll weevil damage is heavy, RflSwSi*irt ijri'VijfcL £ I At The | Change I A Critical Time In 1 Every Woman's I "During a critical 8 I time In my life I took G ■ Cardul for several G ■ months.
