Friday, February 10, 1933 The Department of Agriculture It is hard to understand why some |>oliticians in the state are trying to In-head William A. Graham, the present Commissioner of Agriculture; yet such seems to tie the case. It is our opinion that no branch of our state gov ernment has ever done more efficient service—and a service that has heli>ed agricultural people—than has this department. We understand that the Agriculture Department is costing less to operate than the Department of Conservation and Development, yet we believe, from the standpoint of public good, that it is worth live times as much And, too, the farmer is the man who is paying for this service, which is rendered from the proceeds of taxes paid on fertilizer at the rate of 20"ct\nts pet ton.- We would like to ask t ln- question if any other department of the State government is being run without a general state tax? We do not hear a word about the penitentiary ex cept that it is costing a large sum from the state every year to pay the expenses, which we regard as a disgrace. Three thousand tenant farmers, living on rented land, can pay their own doctors' bills, ibuy clothing, food, schools, pay church dues, burial ex penses, and generally come about even. This means, of course, that these three thousand tenant farmers have to take care of themselves, their wives and chil dren —a population of, 15,000 people, conservatively pstimated—and come out after |»aying land rent. On th eother hand, our 3,000 total prison pop ulation is costing from $75 to siso per |>erson each year above their income from farming and all the other work they are doing. Of course, the politician will attempt to say that so many of them are not able to work; but remember, the tenant farmer has the flu, pneumonia, and most of the other diseases that the prisoner has. If the tenant farmer can feed five people as a result of his labor, our farm pris oners alone ought to be able ty feed all the other prisoners, clothe and school them, and let them play, because our ratio of prisoners at farms—where he has no rent to pay —is certainly larger than the that of the working man un the farm to his dependents. Nobody has suggested any shortcomings in the De partment of Agriculture, but somebody is gutting anxioujs to usurp its power; and the proposed bill to change its policies indicates a deliberate puropse to further choke the freedom of the people and central ize it in the hands of the lord of government. It is more and more apparent every day that there is a very dangerous undertow in our state government. We can see no economy in passing the functions of the I department of Agriculture to the Department of Conservation and Development, which spends more to raise a bird than the Department of Agriculture would spend in raising a cow. The Legislature's Intentions According to all the promises, somebody is going to dp something some time. The legislature keeps talking about doing something, yet no two people tell us the same thing about what it is going to do. Most people who have given careful thought to the matter, however, are convinced that if the people get anything, they will have to pay for it. Nobody is going to give it to them. It is pretty certain that the necessities of life will pay the bill and not the luxuries. So far as we are able to learn, there has been no effort to pass any law to strengthen the morals of the people, but one bill has come up shortening the sep aration period for divorce grounds. The one prominent ground 'for criticism seems to be the effort to tear up everything that now exists Members of the Gneral Assembly seem to act like blind men led into a museum and given clubs to strike at random anything that is in reach. In that man ner many of the state's institutions are being attacked from every corner, and in most cases there seems to be no reasonable substitute offered, not even a re duction of their own salaries. So, after rushing at everything in sight In the name of eoooooy, nothing of importance has'been done. If all unnecessary helpers are cut from the several departments, there will not be much complaint at present set-up; and, personally, we had just about m soon trust the present line-up aa to put things in PUILIINID ivanr TVnOAV AMD FWIOAV Great Britain's Debt Proposal Great Britain proposes a settlement of her debts to the United States on a basis of 7 1-2 cents on the dollar. While we fell that the United States should offer a fair settlement to the foreign countries which bor rowed from qs during the war, yet we frankly say that 7 1-2 per cent is a very small fraction for a great country like England to offer, only about one fifteenth of the amount due. Let her offer 50 per cent, and there is no doubt about our taking it. It may be that 33 1-3 per cent would be a reasonable amount for them to pay, because the people of this country sold them goods at prices three times as high as they are getting for the things with which they are paying us in. The United States needs to make some kind of settlement with all of the war-debt nations, and it should also force all private holders of foreign bonds to settle at the same ratio the governments do. When Henry Cabot Lodge defeated the League of Nations, he did the world more harm than any other single individual has done in a thousand years. And in that act he hurt America worse than any other nation. Now it is up to us to make the beat settle ment we can with the countries that once honored, respected, and loved us, but which now distrust and hate us. Worse Than War Automobiles have killed, within the last IS years, 325,000 jiersons in the United States, which is 25,- 000 more people than were killed in our six major wars —the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the War with Mexico, the Civil War, the Spanish-Ameri dan War, and the World War. All told, only 300,- 000 were killed in these six major struggles. And yet anybody and everybody is permitted to drive au tomobiles at will. Every other business in the world that is so danger ous requires capable men and women to stand prop er examinations and show proficiency in their line before being allowed to perform any duty pertain ing to it. The doctor has to study six years; the engineer has to show proficiency in his work before lit' is |>ermitted to take hold of the throttle of an engine. • Something should be done to make life and prop ty safer from the destruction of the automobile. What's To Become of Them Th? North Carolina law providing for the steriliza tion of the mentally defective has been declared void by our State Supreme Court, on the ground that it violates the Constitution of the United States, which guarantees that no person shall be deprived of his personal or property rights without due process of law. Under the North Carolina statute, no" legal hearing was provided for in which the party in ques tion is represented in person or by a guardian. Although it is a serious problem, it is more serious to try to puzzle out what is to become of the mental and physical weaklings which are being born to par ents who should be prohibited by law from marry ing or* propagating their deficiencies to a new gen eration which will have to be fed, clothed, nursed, ot guarded at public expense. Ready To Go Hcrtjord County Herald Perhaps it won't become necessary to inaugurate a righteous crusade to bring about some concessions in rates by telephone companies; but, if we must cru sade, the word "go" is ready to be said in the quar ters wherein we operate and do business. There are reductions and slashes everywhere, except that we do not recollect any lowering of rates for talking. And we thought all the time "talk was cheap." A Strong Argument for Schools One strong point in favor of the schools can be learned by a glance over the applications for charity. Ninety-five per cent of the applicants have very lit tle education. A man with an education knows bet ter how to make a living than an uneducated man. Ancl he is just as willing to work. If all were educated, we would have very few beg gars. Do not let hard times, or any other thing, de prive the children of today of the opportunity of an education. Man and Land Must Get Together "You've got me to feed" is the wedge that has parted landlord and tenant. There was a day, when prices were high, that the landlord wanted the tenant to plant money crops and buy his food supplies. That false method of farming broke the landlord and starved the tenant. Now the tenant is without food and the landlord is unable to furnish him. Many men who say they have farmed all their lives are now unable to get any land to cultivate. The main reason is that they demand more than the landlord can furnish; and in some cases they are so lazy, indolent, and careless that the landlord will not worry with them. The day is fast approaching when man and land must get together or conditions will be much harder. Crop Rotation Important Our farmers should not lose sight of one important fact, and that is that certain crops manufacture their own fertilizer. And they get it from the free air. The fanner who lets clover, soy beans, and peas fertilise his land wiM be regarded as the wise man when the harvest comes. Crop rotation is the farmer's best road to pros perity. The man who stakes all on one crop has very little chance of enjoying prosperity. * • THE BNTBRPRISB NOTICE OF SALS Under and by virtue of the power of sale contained in that certain deed of trust, executed by P.
