Tuesday, January 23, 1934 Where To Judge Human Nature It is getting to be rather pathetic to hear the moans and groans of the CWA workers who have happened to be put on the ' staggered" work list. The work is so easy, and the pay is so good that they do not like to be weaned away from the job, and unless more peo ple make up their minds to launch out for themselves, it is going to be a bad thing for the country. There is no place to judge our citizenship with more accuracy than at a free-lunch counter or at an easy job of work. Just watch, and you will see how many folks are willing to jump for things without cost to them, even though they crowd out others for whom these opportunities are intended. We are hoping for a revival of the morale of man, so that he will again be willing to go out and face the world and fif?ht starvation on his own initiative. The Punishment oi Criminals We accept the rebuke in the Rocky Mount Tele gram of the 19th, in reference to our statement, or criticism of judges banishing criminals and lawbreak ers from one community to another. Our statement was based on the laws passed at the deriand of society for protection of the public, which laws demand punishment rather than every imagin able kind of camouflage to avoid punishment. We were assuming that we are living under the law; and if the laws which we have lived under since the for mation of our Republic exist for the purpose of cor recting evils, then apply them and in tended. The problem of what to do with lawbreakers is, and has been, one of the greatest in all ages; and if a bet ter solution can be found than we now have, we would certainly like to find it. If the words of Jesus to the sinful woman at the well," Go thy way and sin no more," are better than taking her to jail, then let us suspend the courts for a decade and advise all offenders to go their way and sin no more—which, after all, might be just as satis factory as our present method of handling crime. However, with the present status of home training, of school training, and church attendance, who would there be with sufficient influence to successfully ad vise criminals to go and sin no more? The v. hole trend of the day is to modify punish i e.i' cr cr' e. We find that sentiment pervades the ' ome, the school, and the whole land. And we have gone so far that we sob over the processes of the law and sing the "little woodchuck song" of sympathy. There was a day when the horse thief, the man who stole silver money and committed many other crimes not so important to us, was hung. Now, out of the few capital crimes, murder, arson, rape, burglary, and perhaps train-wrecking, not more than 1 per cent of such offenders ever see the electric chair. The question of how to punish the criminal is still puzzling humanity. The old rule of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth seems pretty hard and un-Christ-like. Yet Jesus in His two greatest par ables suffered the five foolish virgins and the unprofit able servant to be cast into outer darkness because they failed to comply with the rules of society and stewardship.. We are with the Telegram and would like to see our law-enforcement agencies all suspended for at least ten years and expenid all of our billions of crime restraining appropriations converted into a reform agency and try that for a while. For, after all, the sob-sister may have the better viewpoint. Rather Commendable Sampson Independent Some people have been inclined to criticize Gover nor Ehringhaus because he refused to grant "days of grace" to those who failed to secure their 1934 state auto license plates prior to January 1. The fact that the time for securing the license plates had been ex tended before, even when announcement was made that it would not be, led many to believe the same thing would happen again this year. Now that Gov ernor Ehringhaus has kept his word, fewer automo bile owners will be caught "licenseless' next year. We feel more like commending the Governor for his stand thfn denouncing him, even though we found it diffi cult to raise the necessary license funds. The Tax Man Comes Again The ta* man is coming again—this time it will be both our own state man and Uncle Sam's Federal in come tax gatherers. There is no tax more just nor easier to pay than the income tax, since it is no more than a part of the in come from a partnership. The State and nation fur nishes the opportunity {or men to work and trade, and protects their business by courts of law and police force. And, then, no man has to pay an income tax until he has first provided for himself and family suf ficient food and clothing to live. So the man who has to pay income tax is the luck iest of all taxpayers. *' It has been demonstrated by certain investigations that many of the wealthiest of our people are the most artful tax dodgers. When every man pays tax hon estly and according to the terms of the law, there will not be many tax complaints. Much Money Wasted A slanting glance at the work of some of the North Carolina politicians clearly indicates that they are overloaded, and some of their work would indicate that it is in a sinking condition. When all this R. F. C. and C. W. A. and a few more (or less) indistinguishable letters, figures, and characters were thrown on the scene, naturally all of the unoccupied polititical hosts rushed to the gates of the politicians' paradise—the official pay roll—which, of course, gave many of the incompetents positions too big for them, which, in turn, has occasioned much discord and caused much economic waste. So much of this type of incompetency has prevailed that it is hard to get a real close check on some of the mistakes which have been made. - Certainly, many good people are in the line, and some admirable work has been done. Yet we are bound to admit that some things have been done that we regret, and we all know too much money has been wasted. The Futility of War ,4f for no other cause for the abolition of war in the program of a Republic, the spirit of bigotry that per vade the soldiery and the spirit of selfishness that grips the ex-soldiery is enough to kindle opposition in the minds and hearts of a great commonweal to such an extent that it would revolt against war. This is particularly so when they know that war is neraly always a profiteering racket, with the power to make the soldiers believe they own the world, and after the battles are fought make them think they should own the world. Good News It is good news to hear that James A. Farley is to be relieved of the duties of chairman of the Demo cratic National Committee. Doubtless Mr. Farley has had too much to do with the politics already for the good of the country. Anti-Trust Laws Rocky Mount Telegram. Whenever we think of anti-trust regulations, for which Senators Borah, Nye, and Glass arc raising their voices in the capital, we are reminded of a story told us several months ago of the manner in which a pow erful buying organization obtained a large quantity of manufactured goods. The buyer wanted a type of cotton clothing. He made an offer to a manufacturer, specifying a price that was rejected because it was too low to pay wages. The buyer took his offer to an other plant and, after employees had been called in and informed of the necessity either of shutting down a plant or curtailing wages, they expressed their de sire to continue work at the reduced wage, and the goods were delivered to the buyer and offered for sale at prices below what was reasonable and fair. The cotton farmer made no profit; the plant em ployees were barely able to keep bodies andisouls to gether at the they received; the manufacturer kept his machinery in operation, but without a profit; merchants handled their goods at an exceedingly small profit. From the time the cotton left the field until it was in use as clothing, none of the handlers obtained any benefits from handling it. The farmer and the wage earner were hardest hit. Goods made under con tions which paid fair wages and assured profits on investments were hopelessly undersold. Workers were |iaid 8 and 10 cents per hour, not enough to buy food and clothing, if they worked 10 hours per day, 6 days per week. The National Industrial Recovery Act forbids the manufacture of goods under sweat-shop conditions. Under the anti-trust laws the practice was prevalent and manufacturers who would, by their own initiative, have remedied conditions, found them selves helpless to Compete. Of course, laws should protect both the little man and the big man. To permit the building up of vast, ruling corporations is no more desirable than the per petuation of the sweat shop; the development of enor mous merchandising chains that can both dictate prices and control markets would mean the elimina tion of the little man, and a system quite as undesir able. At the same time no hope is offered in a pro gram of governmental price-fixing, unless the program is flexible. Maximum and minimum charges may of fer a solution. But of lasting importance is the per manent maintenance of an industrial system that lim its production, regulates wages, and brings order out of an unsettled state of affairs. At the present there is no inducement to return to anti-trust laws, if that means the ham-stringing of what has been accom plished under an order that allows exceptions to the rule. Vast corporations arose under the anti-trust system; the idea now is to prevent a return to the old system and at the same time preserve the basis for reasonable competition and initiative in business. THE ENTERPRISE Heifers May Be Bred To Freshen at 24 Months Old No arbitrary age can be »et for breeding heifers, as this is determined by the maturity and breed of each animal. Jersey and Guernsey heifer*, if properly grown out, should be bred to freshen from 24 to 30 months of age. The Ayshire and Holstein heif ers should be bred'*ito as to freshen from 27 to 32 months of age. Heif ers that are fed liberal grain rations in addition to the roughage will ma ture more quickly than those receiv ing a limited grain ration, and this should be considered when breeding.
