Friday, January 19, 1934 Seli-Reliance When we finally come back to the place where every man is expected to make his own living by the sweat beggars on our streets, how, then, will things be? But of his face-unless he be an invalid—and we have no will we ever come back to such a state of existence? The question seems to be growing bigger and bigger every day. One thing is apparent: That is that there are too many men without the capacity to find jobs, or to make jobs for themselves. Too many men would starve, even if they had 40 acres and a'mule with a year's supplies to start on. They would be "on the hog" in five years, principally for the want ol the proper knowledge to properly han dle the.r business. Seme farmers who have always lived on farms nev er know when to plant, how to fertilize, bow to culti vate, nor when and how to harvest. And then if they do produce, tl.ey will let their potatoes rot and their meat spoil. A good course needs to be added in our schools that will put us on a safer basis of self-reliance. Good Enough for Us Those new 00-cent dollars are plenty good for us. We bad rather have two of them than to have one of thos he' d i lars that we have not had for so long. We confidently expect to get three of the new dol lar where'we only hail one of the old 100-cent dol lars; and when we do, we ex[>ect to be better off, paying taxes easier and paying debts quicker. These Are Prohibitionists Greensboro Daily Sews. The prohibition organization formed yesterday is a G'deon Band: a substantial satisfaction attaching to membership i> that it is one of unity in principle and purpose, driving sincerely towards its declared ends. These, with few exceptions or none, are prohibitionists indeed. They may rejoice in ttue kinship of convic tion. It is not so that they will come to score any success, or any at all commensurate with their aim. The pros pect of a success that tan be measured in tangible re sults attracts numbers, and the company is no longer select. We have seen that most strikingly exempli fied in this same prohibition: echoes still ring of many voices, some of the loudest, who have never been able, and are not likely to be able, to between conscience and expediency. And yet the vital |>art of a crusade is apt to be found in those efforts of true zealots, which may be carried on in faith and patience for years, even dec ades. The old Prohibition party never won anything at the polls, never was within striking distance of win ning, never put out a ticket except as a forlorn hope, but, to our way of thinking, it was one of the most successful forces in all American history. In its fab ric, wrought by kindred souls, will be found an as tonishing number of the innovations that have come into politics and government, things regarded as ciiiik> tbcor.es, and little regarded at all, when pro jected. Acreage Reduction Goldsboro Transcript and Mesenger. Is there some way in which reduction of cotton and tobacco acreage under the AAA can be made fair to the farmer who tried to help years before the govern ment took a hand? Such a farmer tried to aid a movement to support or raise prices by voluntarily cutting his crop acre age. Many a man in this section began that, especial-*' ly wit 1, cotton, twice as long ago as the period takes into consideration on determining a man's money crop acreage. i Now, that man is penalized in comparison Wjkh a less far-sighted or cooperative neighbor who did not cut cotton and tobacco acreage until the government asked him to. , U it fair? Acreage reduction plans were rushed through last year. It won't be long before they take effect this year in the amount of land plowed and planted to dif ferent crops. If there is to be a readjustment for greater fairness this year and next year to the men who voluntarily began cutting their cotton and tobacco acreage years ago, it ought to be worked out soon. Adjustment Needed We hope to aee some more equitable adjustment of the financial rewards for service. We find hundreds who are, in some cases, people that have no capacity to plan or execute service, and are not so strong in either mind or body, drawing more money for four-day weeks than the school teach ers of the country who have spent much to prepare themselves and are forced to prove their capability are getting for five days' work, and which embraces practically twice as many hours in actual labor and filing reports, etc., as the CWA employees are get ting. We need some adjustment. The Remedy for Criticism of CWA Raleigh News and Observer. A million dollars a week is now being spent in North Carolina on the Civil Works Administration payroll. It is not unnatural that against such a vast enterprise, so quickly erected, there should be, as there are, charges of favoritism and graft. In such an organiza tion, occupied with so lavish a spending, no sensible person will doubt that there is some petty graft and some petty politics. Those whose duty it is to ad minister this great fund in the State undoubtedly are more clearly aware of this fact than any other peo ple. Every day there come to the offices of the CWA in Raleigh bundles of letters full of complaints and charges. In many of the cases they are letters from the disgruntled and the disappointed. In many cases, however, the letters as well as spoken complaints come from responsible and truthful people. In so many letters there must exist the grain of truth, at least the infinitesimal mustard seed of fact. That mustard seed is, as the parable relates, the least of all seeds, "but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof." If both quoting Scripture and mixing a metaphor may be permitted together, the CWA will do well to give the seed a se vere shaking before ever the tree is grown. The time to shake the birds out is now. This is not to say that the CWA officials in the state have not sought to find the flaws and the fakers in the CWA and on the CWA payroll. Indeed, every complaint which comes in is investigated. Whether this investigation is adequate depends in great meas ure upon the person, usually the field spuervisor, to whom it is referred. Unfortunately, the people of the State cannot know the facts uncovered by investigation. Rumors of graft and favoritism thrive in every community in North Carolina. Investigation of them is carried on quietly even if efficiently. In the few cases in which the CWA has announced results of its investigations, those results have been justifications of those whom charges were made. No discovery of flaw or faker has been made public. The News and Observer believes that the CWA would preserve the public faith in the face of multi tudinous rumors best if it made a public example of those involved in charges which its own investigation verified. Such a public demonstration of the fact that the CWA means to be vigorous in action behind its statements of faith would do much to silence the ir responsible rumor-mongers who are now enlivening the street corners with large stories of petty crooked ness and petty politics, and at the same time con vince those responsible but critical citizens that a de termined effort is being made to eliminate those con ditions of which they are properly critical. Such a course would also be a well-merited punishment for any person in North Carolina who would be guilty of selfishness in the greatest benevolence in the history of America. It will be relatively easy to shake buzzards off a mustard seed, but it will be no easy job to drive long and firmly attached buzzards from the tree which might grow from it. What Greater Need Than a Modern Public Library? Winston-Salem Journal. Public money is being used to cut weeds on vacant lots, to build gateways and beautify school grounds. Public money is being used to develop athletic fields and parks and playgrounds. Public money is being used to widen streets and deepen creeks and lay sewer lines. Public money is used to enlarge a post office and erect a museum building. If public money can be found for all of these ob jcts in this community, is it not time somebody was find some public money for a public library in Win ston-Salem ? To those who are interested in cultural develop ment, the basis of our future civilisation, a large li brary and more books seem of far greater importance than many of the things for which public money is be ing expended so freely under the New Deal. Surely no one who is familiar with conditions will deny that Winston-Salem needs a New Deal in noth ing more than in its public library facilities. Much as Peters Creek deserves attention the needs of our library building and equipment are a thousand times more pressing. It will be a tragic commentary, indeed, on our in telligence and vision if we complete a public works program in Winston-Salem and leave the library en tirely out of it.
