Tuesday, August 22, 1933 Last Day To Plow Up Cotton Tomorrow, Tuesday, August 23rd, is the last day for plowing up cotton under the acreage-reduction plan. The government will pay out millions of dol lars to Southern farmers to repay them for the cotton plowed up. It has not been fully determined yet where that money is to come from. There is yet a probability that the man who did not plow up will be taxed to pay for the cotton destroyed. This would be the proper thing to do. The farmer who destroys a pa« of his cotton is the man who puts the price up. The farmer who re fuses to help him should not be permitted to reap the full benefit. Plow up before it is too late. The Legislature's Great Mistake In our opinion, the drastic cut in the salaries of school teachers is the greatest mistake our last legisla ture made. The fact that a man or a woman who has given a life's study in preparation for a profession that has to have at least eight years' actual experience in that profession in order to receive a salary of not more than $720 a year—from that down to $360 annu ally—certainly does not entitle members of the last General Assembly to a position on the roll of honor. When a deliberative body of men provide legal ways for fathers to fill their bellies with costly alco hol and refuse to require of them a reasonable sum for the education of their children, we are indeed ap proaching the shadow of a dark age. The Right Kind of Prosperity Some are complaining that if wages go up and the price of cotton, corn, wheat, and tobacco goes up, that living costs will also go up. Which is true, and that is just what we want. We should not be willing to get more for our products and at the same time get the things we need at the same price—hat would not only be selfish; it would be mean. What we actually need is a raise in the value of every commodity, so that those who owe debts and want to pay them can do so—which can never be done at prices recently prevailing. The right kind of prosperity will not come until every man gets more for what he has and what he does. The N. R. A. is seeking to adjust this very matter. Stretching the Truth Mightily Somebody is usiijg some big figures for the Con servation Department of our state Sunday's papers carried a six million dollar article by an unknown writer, as the annual quail value to the state. He failed to put his name to the story to give proper color to his figures. He also used as his base of esti mated value, Monroe County. Well, we have no such county. All taken together, there seems to be a good many fallacies in the article. The figures presented show a cash income of $60,- 000 per county, which we are not willing to admit as true. Our conservation department is important—espec ially in the preservation of forest lands and soils, yet somebody seems to be trying to stretch the truth when it comes to hunting and fishing, which appar ently offer considerable sport to those who can afford it. Vet they are two of the most costly things men indulge in. The hunter has to be rich, or he cannot exist on his game. And if we would only keep books on our hunting and fishing, our debit balance would eat up our credits many times. We have in mind one man who kills about a dozen quail each year. He has seven dogs, which cause his family to have to scratch flea bites for six months in the year, causes bis neighbors to lose much sleep by keeping awake everybody in the neighborhood. Besides buying ail the dog biscuits advertised in the maga tines, the dog doctors are required about half to curry the mange from them and then they have to be vaccinated against rabies every few months. Alter figuring both sides of the case, we fail to see the ,000,000 balance coming to North Carolina an nually from the little bird wc call the quail. And why should men Write such things unless they CM prove them? Time To Get Together We would like to see at least two state officials agree on some one point. It seems that nobody knows how much we owe or how much we've got. Somebody said we werev. behind fourteen million dol lars during the last years, and somebody else says eighteen millions. little bit will not make so much difference, however. Why Duplicate Department Heads? Why are we to have two bosses for each job in our State Government? Why a Maxwell and a Noble; why a Jeffress and a Pou? The small minds •of the state simply can not understand the reason for such duplications. Does it mean tha(\ in building up a superstructure to top a superlative political monarchy that it is nec essary to have as many lieutenants as possible? It looks as if without Mr Jeffress' powerful news paper, The Greensboro Daily News, he would be without an office, since he seems to be entirely with out power in his own realm. He must be kept on the pay roll for the purpose of whooping 'em up when a pinch comes* It nows looks to us as if it would be better for the slate if Maxwell and Jeffrtys would walk out rather than suffer themselves to be smothered by some kind of a gas that has not been fully identified as yet. "As Ye Sow"— Morgan and Mellon photographed in conversation present a sad picture. One imagines they are dis cussing the effects of the N. R. A., and from their very appearance they seem to be facing mountains of business sins. In fact ,they have the appearance of looking face to face upon innocent competitors, whom they have crushed and driven to the poorhouses, and many to suicide, in days that have gone by These letters, N. R. A., seem to be having the same effect on them that "Thou art weighed in the bal ances and found wanting,"' had on old Belshazzar in the days of long ago, when the forces of Cyrus were about to destroy him. The storm of Roosevelt's righteous government is about to capsize the craft of each of those extorters, tax-dodgers, unfair dealers in everything, who have helped to destroy the liberties which are guaranteed by our government. They must realize the truth of the words, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." Prosperity Smoke Edenton News. Because cigarette and cigar manufacturers declared good dividends (breaking all records in some cases) and the grower was left holding the bag along with the wheat and cotton growers, the Federal gov ernment will reduce the next tobacco crop, pay the grower a bonus on his abandoned acres and collect a processing tax from the consumer. By this method it is hoped that the grower will ob tain a fair price for his product through the elimina tion of surplus crops and that prosperity will return to the tobacco fields and to the several states and parts of states largely dependent upon the weed Fifty per cent of the tobacco acres must be taken out of production if the governments program is car lied out to the letter. For each acre turned to other uses the farmer is to be allowed $39 and is promised a much larger return if the experiment is successful. The smokes are on the house, which means they are on John Smith, tax|>ayer and ultimate consumer. He will pay a higher price for his tobacco to pay the processing tax to pay the farmer. And will he complain? Not if it will enable the tobacco grower to hire more hands at higher wages, buidl new sheds and homes, buy more automobiles and automatic refrigerators, and in other ways give the smoker and taxpayer more pennies with wHich to buy smokes. Validating NIRA Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch From incomplete reports of the case and the de cision, it would seem that Justice Joseph Cox, of the District of Columbia Supreme Court—which is not a supreme court in the ordinary acceptation of the term, but corresponds with Federal district courts— chose the easiest and probably the safest way out in upholding, in principle at least, the National Indus trial Recovery Act. Stripped of its details, the suit involved a petition of certain Texas oil refiners for an injunction against orders recently issued by Secretary of the Interior Ickes. Justice Cox denied the petition, and, in an oral opinion, said: "Congress has declared that a great national emer gency exists and has invested the President with extraordinary power to meet that emergency ... "In the law, it is recognized that necessity confers many rights and powers that without the necessity might not be conferred. It is said that self-preserva tion is the first law, and this principle, in some de gree, seems to extend to governments. "There is another maxim that 'the safety of the people is the supreme law,' and all these must be con sidered in dealing with emergencies. All laws, in cluding the Constitution, it seems to me, should be read in emergencies in the light of the law of ne cessity. . . Justice Cox said that as the case presented ques tions of far-reaching importance, he would have liked to study it at length but thAt be felt it was more important to pass upon it at once. In all probability, if he had studied it at length he would have handed down an opinion more subtly argued and more elegantly expressed. But also in all probability, he could not have found any more cogent reason for upholding the act than the one he somewhat informally invoked; the act is valid be cause it must be valid.
