Friday, December 2, 1932 Peanuts and Gold / ~ r " Peanut farmers are very much discouraged over the low prices offered for peanuts. And well that they should be, because it means financial destruction to about 20 counties in Northeastern North Carolina and southeastern .Virginia. But what can they do —until the consuming public is able to consume? Those people who once bought peanuts and peanut products are no longer buyers, because they have no money with which to buy. Organization will of course help some; picketing the roads and crop from being rushed on the market may help some; regulating the acreage will, of course, help some—and all put together, these things will be of value in many ways. Yet none of them, nor all of them put together, will make the peanut farmer prosperous so long we cling to a money system that is so sound that it has no flexi bility and is so exacting in its power to rule that it alone has value, so that 'no other product or com modity has any value and the people are no longer able to buy and eat and are forced to poverty until they pine away and starve. So long as our government values gold higher than starving bodies and hungry souls, just so long will cotton, corn, |>ea»uts, wheat, and potatoes be low in price, and those who need them will not be able to buy at_any price, because all power to purchase is vested in gold, and only a few have it. This country should force its Congress to increase the volume of money or cut the burden of debts. Un til one or the other of these things is done, all prices will go much lower, and our hunger and nakedness will increase until we drift into the lowest state of peasantry that any people have since the birth of Christ. And only the official families and the gold hoarders will survive. We will even come to the point where the guns and munitions which we are making now, presumably to combat Europe and Asia, will be turned on the American citizenry to hold them in subjection that the money greedy may hold sway over the people of this country. The manhood of America can protect their in stitutions, their families, and their homes easier and cheaper by forcing Congress to break the money trust than they can in any other way. As it now is, our interest costs can not be paid an nually with the small amount of money in existence. Every man ought to know enough to be able to see that the death grip of greed must be broken, or we will never again be free. "A Little Learning—" That bunch of striplings who resigned from the edi torial staff of the Campbell College paper recently because they could not run things just as they liked reminds us of the old story of that proud young fel low who knew a lot more than his father, and who be came so much dissatisfied with the old fogy ways of his dad that he called his father to him one day and said, "Father, this is a dull, poorly managed place, no progress and no new thoughts or new ways. I am now ready to tell and show you just how to run things. So give me my share now and watch me climb the peaks of prominence." The father did so, and away the young man went. He took his gang with him. All the leeches and lechers were with him and stayed just as long as that crowd usually stays with a friend. Then he was left alone and had to eat and sleep with the hogs. So the first climbing he did was to climb out of the hog pen and go back to simple old dad, who had food and to spare, gold and royal robes. It may be that this bunch of youngsters, like the young prodigal, have had too many good things be stowed on them by loving and sacrificing fathers and mothers. And perhaps a little learning may have set the craniums in motion they have discovered some mysteries that God did not intend for man to know in this life, or perhaps it msy be that God Him self did not know about, so they are exceedingly anx ious to liberate this news before the world dies in ig norance. . It all goes to show that a little learning may be a dangerous thing, and too, before these youngsters go too far it will be to their advantage to ask the college faculty to warn them of some of the hidden dangers that lie in the pathway of the proud and haughty. nisLisHto avanv uaooAV amp rwiPAT What About the Comic Strips? What about the comic strips? Have the news papers and magazines been caught up in (he grip of the high-powered salesmen and gone entirely too far with the useless, foolish things, whic£ have no place in the sound, sensible development of the mind, or that promotes that high quality of thought so essen tial to the building up of human society- How many badly needed school hours of the child of today is he robbed of by the comic strips? How many lessons are poor, and how many grade failures are caused by the pictures of the long-nosed, big mouthed, and all kinds of distorted caricatures that appear in the newspapers of the day? These strips have become the major part of the reading of mil lions of young people—giving their time to something worse than myths—it is foolishness. We need not expect the best from our children just as long as we fill their minds with trash. We, of course, have a few good pictures in the newspaper, which may be helpful in the production of thought, but they certainly constitute a very small percentage. Then why should newspapers fill their pages with worthless stuff that weans the public mind from any desire to read and study worth-while news? t A Hopeful Sign It is at least a hopeful sign to see both Democrats and Republicans working together trying to solve the big problems that we are groaning under. Mr. Roose velt is calling leading Republicans to his aid, and Mr. Ehringhaus has already called Mr. Frazierj his re cent opponent, to a conference. Well, the truth is that no one party's politicians can get us back on the track nor can all the politicians in all parties do it. It will take statesmen to do the job. Yet we have to admit that a true statesman recog nizes all the people of all the parties as worthy of recognition in any and all matters that affect the whole body of citizenship. Why Cooperation Is Needed The peanut farmer who sells when he picks, regard less of the price, is said to be the biggest factor in making low prices. fn former days, the grower had to sell at his home market or ship his crop to a commission house. Un der that plan, the cleaners bought only as they need ed stock, either going to a storage warehouse or or dering their country buyers to send in as many cars as they needed at any particular time. Now, it is far different. The farmer picks his peasnuts; the truckers come along, load them on and drive to a Suffolk factory, where the peanuts are offered for sale on a market where hundreds of other trucks are do ing the same thing. The factories, having made very little preparation for buying in this way, are unable to handle the peanuts advantageously or quickly. The day grows dim, and both the farmers and the factory men are in a bad humor, and the peanuts go at any price offered. While the cleaners do not like this method of han dling peanuts, yet they are able to buy their needs at any figure they care to offer. This is perhaps the most foolish marketing system in the world, principally because farmers foolishly rush their product on buyers who do not want their product and will not take it at a decent price. What we need is some kind of cooperation among farmers that will enable them to work together, rather than against each other in a kind of competition that is causing the farmers of the peanut belt to lose many thousands and perhaps millions of dollars. Vet there are farmers who will sell just as soon as they pick, regardless of prices or conditions, because they heard long years ago that the best time to sell a product is when you get it ready. They totally dis regard changing conditions affecting such things. We need to cooperate. A Hard Job Ahead Beaufort News When the General Assembly of North Carolina con venes next January, now only a few weeks away, it will be face to face with as serious a situation as that which confronted the session of 1931 and which kept that body busy for five months. It may be said that the situation will be even worse because the resuorces of the people have been still further depleted and they will be even more anxious for relief. With a twelve million dollar deficit staring them in the face the legislators will have to cut appropriations or raise taxes, maybe do both. State bonds are said to be selling below par already, and if the State's budget remains unbalanced they are very likely to decline still further. It is very important that the credit of the State shall not be impaired if there is any way to prevent it. The credit of many of the counties has been ruined, and this makes it all the more important that the State shall preserve its own. Raising taxes in order to meet the State's deficit is going to be a very unpopular business, unless it is saddled on a few of the big corporations and it will certainly be resisted bitterly by them. Land can not stand any more taxation and neither can gasoline. Maybe a general sales tax bill can be passed, but that will not be an easy task. No matter which way you turn more taxes means a fight. Everybody is paying all the tax he wants to pay and more, too. The other alternative to more taxation is a reduction of expenses. This alternative will be just as unacceptable to some as an increase of (axes would be to others. It costs a great deal of money to run the government of North Carolina, the schools, roads, public institions, and so on. Abolishing offices and cutting salaries would lower the costs of course, but it might reduce efficiency, and it certainly would be resisted if proposed. And so, as we said in the beginning, the General Assembly has a hard job ahead of it. THE ENTERPRIS MAY BE NO SEED LOANS TO NEEDY MADE NEXT YEAR Many Sections Will Not Be Able To Plant Crop Without Aid Washington.—Representative Lind say Warren stated recently that it is unlikely that the Agricultural Credit Corporations set tip in different sec tions of the country will make seed loans in 1933 on crop liens, and he has called upon the Reconstruction Fi nance Corporation for an official opin ion on same. Mr. Warren says that it was the intent of Congress that these I credit corporations should make the seed loans as formerly, and if they do not, he proposes to introduce a bill on the opening date of Congress to provide for same. Mr. Warren said j that it was impossible for Eastern J Carolina, as well as other sections, to I plant another crop without this fund and that there was more need for it ! than ever for the coming year." He j stated that the percentage of repay ment to the government had been very high, and that this was the only pos sible source where thousands of farm ers and tenants could look to. Congressman Warren said that he considered the most immediate major problem to be the refinancing of farm sale foreclosures. He thinks that any mortgages and a stopping of whole farm relief bill will be useless unless there is coupled to it a "provision whereby farms may be saved, and he thinks that this should occupy the first attention of the Congress. FLAGGED TRAIN TO SAVE $50,000.00 Fined $lO for Act, English man Gets Contract for $50,000 Order Birmingham, England.—A 62-year old manufacturer of this town was fined $lO for stopping an express train, but he was able to laugh. The '"tres pass" gained him $50,000. Fearing that unless he could get to London in time, he would lose a $50,000 contract for which he had been striving for three years, he de cided to stop the last train he could take —an express travelling at >6O, niiles> an hour. When both the booking-clerk andj the signalman told him that they j would not stop the train, the manu-| facturer, John Sutherlan, said: "'Right. If you won't stop it, I will." on the track, in the path! of the advancing engine. The en-| gineer signalled him to get out of | the way. He stood his ground, and. the engineer was forced to stop the train. Sutherlan then calmly mounted the express, and was carried to Lon don in time to get his contract. • 4-H Club Girl Raises 102 Turkeys and Makes $205 Ruby Travis of the Taylorsville sec tion of Catawba County raised 102 turkeys as a 4-H club project this year from which she secured a gross return of $205.84.
