Tuesday, March 7, 1933 Grounds for Hope There are grounds for hope in sight. The fact that all the banks in the United States have temporarily suspended business is a tine thing, although it is a temporary inconvenience. It will teach us that we need not put our trust in money, and it will give the country time to adjust things to the point of better advantage. All but a few banks in the country are in far better shape than they have been for a long time. The tem|x>rary closing will not hurt them, and it will great ly relieve the distressed banks. It has only been 25 years since we had a similar condition, so far as bank deposits are concerned. In 1907, during the Theodore Roosevelt panic, a large majority of the banks of the nation would not permit depositors to draw above a small percentage of the deposits. It did not hurt the banks. On the other hand, it helped the business of the country greatly. The same thing is sure to result in the present crisis. The Guarantee of Bank Deposits We are not so strong on this proposition of gov ernment guarantee of deposits already in banks. What our government needs to do is to give us more money. Then bank deposits will be good. The thing that has broke most banks is the defla tion of the values of corn, cotton, wheat, farms, fac tories, and homes, which has destroyed the value of the securities held 'by the banks—and which, of ii' course, will break any bank when hit by a panicky people. If our government had guaranteed all bank deposits in 1919 and turned our monetary system over to a few banks, as it did, our national debt would have been doubled by this time. When the government takes back to itself the pow er of governing the issuance of money and prevents the banks from squeezing credits out of existence, depositrwiH beigeeeh Hanks, up to the last 13 years had been the safest place in the world to keep money —and when our Federal Government trims the big banks of their pow er to expand and curtail credit and handle the money of the nation to suit their own selfish interests, then banks will again be the safest places by far to keep money. Progress in Health Work Our state has made more progress in health work than in any other branch of its public service. In 18 years our death rate from typhoid fever has been cut more than 85 per cent; our infant death rate more than per cent; diarrhea cut 7 5 per cent; diphtheria, 70 percent; and tuberculosis, more than 50 per cent. There has also been a big decrease in the num ber of deaths from pellagra within the past four years. In 1929, there were 953 deaths, and in 1932 only 465 —less than half. This in the face of the fact that the standard of living has been lowered in the per iod mentioned. The results achieved by the board of health is suf ficient reason why its activities should be upheld and fostered by the State. Who Goes Up and Who Comes Down? Who will ascend and who will descend when tfte penitentiary and highway systems are consolidated. Both Mr. £. B. Jeffress and Mr. George Ross Pou have been held in high esteem in their respective branches of the government and are said to have operated them in a satisfactory manner. It is said, however, that Mr. Pou outclasses Mr. Jeffress as a politician. Still On the Job Prosperity may come, and prosperity may go—but you can rest assured that The Enterprise will be on time. Farmers Are Sitting Pretty Farmers, just keep oo knocking. You are going to be ia the saddle pretty soon. Look out for some thing to eat for yourselves first, and you will be f»t and happy while the rest of the world is struggling by. Tam Bowie—Then and Now At a certain time in the not-so-distant past one Tam Bowie ran a bill through our General Assem bly to spend $7,000,000 to improve a small section of the state. Fortunately, our state supreme court found defects in the law and the money was never spent. Now this same said Bowie has come to the legisla ture again as a great kicker for economy and is try ing to go beyond reason and wound and partially destroy our public school system—the very basis of our hope to ever get out of our present terrible state of affairs. Destroy Products Raised by Children Suppose all the cotton, peanuts, corn, wheat, and tobacco in the country that was grown by school children was destroyed. The balance would bring more money on the open market than all of it is worth now. * Let Athletics Go Athletics have done more to demoralize and de stroy the efficiency of our schools than any other single factor. The state needs to pass a law against the use of public funds and the use of school time to permit the boys and girls of the schools to run wild. There is little doubt but that athletics of the wild type that we have had for the past decade have cut the average pupil ho less than one grade, and perhaps much more in some cases. Keep the schools, but let athletic go until we get richer than we are now. The Japanese Course in Asia How long will it take Japan to own Asia, if she is permitted to go her way unhampered? Of course, no one can tell, yet from their spirit of avariciousness, it would seem they propose to grab -all they can. No Doubt the Japanese propose to subdue all China and then destroy Russia in Asia. What next? Per haps India or r Caltfornis;' » \Vhat~a sin we committed when we refused to join the League of Nations and merit the respect of all nations. Then the national grab game would have been stopped. Where "Sound Dollars" Have Put Us Our "Sound Dollars" have closed all of our banks. And still the politicians are feeding the people on fal.se propaganda about the goodness of gold and the danger of inflation. A great many people are gulping this talk down like a bunch of lunatics. What this country needs to do is to take its money system out of the hands of the grafters and issue cur rency as the need may require. Then we will not starve in the midst of plenty. The Great God, Budget .Xews and Observer. In recent years in Washington and in Raleigh a new god has been lifted up for worship, called THE BUDGET And its worshippers have been as noisy and as ecstatic in their worship as the Ephes ians who cried out for th space of many hours, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians." Its champions told us that if the old system, when a Secretary of the Treas ury or a State Treasurer made up statements and tax recommendations, should be discarded and the BUD GET SYSTEM set up iri its place, there would be no mor® deficits and no more wandering in the wilder ness to find sources of taxation. The budget makers would with prescience teil the legislators to a dollar how much they could spend and where they could get the taxes to a dollar, and that income and outgo would be always balanced to nicety. Well, we have worshipped THE BUDGET SYS TEM for half a score of years, and what do we see today? A deficit of two and a half billion dollars at Washington and twelve to fifteen millions at Ra leigh. It would not be just to charge all this up to the Budget System. It is, however, a just indictment of the great claims made for that system, which has been followed by the setting up of costly bureaus in place of the simple and inexpensive methods that pre vailed before SYSTEM was set up with optimistic predictions that it would prove an end of all of our troubles. In North Carolina, indeed, the Budget Bu reau has about swallowed up all other departments. Given large authority, it has undertaken to say how many hours a professor should teach, how an insane asylum should be conducted, how health measures should be carried on, and minutely has sought to make itself the supreme regulator of every department and and bureau in the whole state. By con trol of the purse-strings the great god Budget has come to be greater than its creator. And larger sal aries have been paid to its officers than enjoyed by the elected constitutional officers of the State. Up to dale, this legislature teems to have cut everywhere else and has made reductions in every other depart ment but to have stayed its hand when reductions are hinted at the great'god, the Budget System. There is, of course, need of an executive budget, but is ought to be wholly separate from legislative participation. It should be made up by the Gover nor and Council of State and presented to the General Assembly with the reasons that actuated its formula tion and presentation. It should be controlled by elective officials, who make up the constitutional of ficials of the Commonwealth. They have the time and - the ability, with proper clerical aid, to do the job, and do it better and leu expensively than it is being done now. Its powers should be strictly limited and not permitted to control directors and trustees of in stitutions and departments. THE ENTERPRISE IN MEMORIAM —- In loving remembrance of my dear husband. Mack G. Taylor, who died March 1, 1930: Three years ago you left me; the voice I love is stilled: you left a place within my heart that never can be filled. I often sit and think of you, when I am all alone; for memory is the only thing that grief can call its own. My song was turned into mourning; there's no pleasure left in view; for my thoughts are ever turning back to things concerning you. Lonely the house and sad the hours since my dear one has gone, but, oh, a- brighter home than our, in heaven, I hope is his home. Soon I hope to meet you, dear, with loved ones gone before; where we shall spend an endless day with God, whom I adore. DEVOTED WIFE.
