Addreit an communications to The Enterpri»t tad not to the individual member* of the brm. —— , -« ~ Friday, February 9, 1934 Representative Snell, of New \ ork, says a coninua tion of Herbert Hoover would have been better than the Roosevelt administration has proven to be. The Mbrgan companies will shout a hearty amen, while the balance of tHefolks—the 120,000, (XX) —are laughing at the statement (or its inaccurateness and falsity, and thanking God for the change that saved them from starvation and destruction. That is just the difference between Mr. Snell and his friends and the people at large. Let the Chips Fall Where They May Has the wife of a state employee any more privi leges than the ordinary run of folks? Whether they do or not, a Mrs. Patterson, of Ashe boro, seemed to think so when she was arrested for speeding in High Point last week. Mrs. Patterson announced that she had driven in New York, Phila delphia, and Washington and had not been arrested, and she accused the High Point officers of making ar rests for the fees. The husband announced that it meant trouble for High Point. The whole complaint seemed to be made upon the idea that the inferior High Point police were med dling with the sweet pleasure of the wife of a state paid official. So far as we are concerned, we hope the High Point courts will give the lady full justice, and that the High Point police will cut them all down to the same size. Every town needs to fully enfoce taffic"laws and thereby save life, limbs, and property. • Senate Should Go After Him Thai was a weak [joint in McCracken's defense when he said the files in his hands—he then being an Assistant Secretary of Commerce—contained private correspondence between himself and aviation com panies for which he was attorney. That is just the reason the Senate committee wants to see the correpondence that it may know whether Mr. McCracken, an officer of the United States Gov ernment and at the same time attorney for a bunch of grafters, was serving the government or the grafters. The Government lost a hundred million dollars in the operation of its mail service last year, while stock holders in air mail contract holders were making mil lions. Evidently McCracken has sold the people out for his clients. Now the Senate ought to go after him strong. The Strength of Democracy News and Observer. This week in Berlin the first anniversary of Na tional Socialism's final conquest of Germany is be ing officially observed. In Italy last October the Fas cists celebrated the eleventh anniversary of the march on Rome. In Russia the dictatorship of Stalin con tinues in the fifteenth year of the revolution. In these three countries. Mussolini, Hitler, and Stalin, and in smaller countries other figures of overwhelming per sonal power have risen to give the impression that a new pattern of dictatorship is being imposed upon a world which has found democracy a failure. Those who take this view give only superficial con sideration to the significance of the dictators in our world. The fact is that no dictator has yet risen in any nation which has had a strongly rooted demo cratic tradition or any long experience in self-govern ment. The lands in which the dictators have risen are lands in which the peoples have always been ac customed, save in brief intervals, to government com ' - » ing wholly from above. In Holland, Belgium, France, Scandinavia, Eng land, and her political descendants such as the Unit ed States, Canada, and Australia, democracy today is as firmly entrenched as ever before. Indded, today in America democracy is demonstrating not only its strength but also its flexibility in a world in which change is imperative. Democracy is not only aa ttrong as ever, it is also extending its doctrine* from Government into industry. The of self gov ernment and the right* of men to determine not only the condition of their government but of their labor ami enterprise were never stronger than they.** to day in the nations which have the traditions of de mocracy and the determination to preserve it. The Difference Start in On the Steel Corporation Now is a good time to slice up the United States Steel Corporation so that the government and the peo ple can look in on them. For many years no man has been allowed to know anything about their meth ods of operation. When a survey was attempted 15 years ago they blocked it. Now, they dispute the right of the government to inquire about the relation of their laborers, as to pay and servitude, and since the corporation has grown so much bigger in their esti mation than all the other people. Suppose the government would slice them up a lit tle, and return to the proper owners the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, its property which they robbed them out of in 1907, and to the owners of other companies that they forced out of business in past years and gobbled them up at a much lower price than fair. President Roosevelt has had the nerve to tackle Mr. Morgan's gold. We hope to see him go after his iron next. Doubly Dangerous Sampson Independent. Never have been able to figure it out, but somehow children usually crave the things that are most danger ous. The chief ambition of the average boy is to own a firearm, a shotgun, pistol, or, if nothing more, an air rifle. And a gun in the hands of a child not only endangers the life of such child, but the lives of others. Then there is the craving on the part of young sters, both girls and boys, for bicycles and skates. Looks like a pity to deny the children the joys that these bring (most parents do not), and yet there is no more dangerous pastime for a child than to ride a bicycle or to skate on the streets and on the highways. The danger is two-fold: The child seldom sees danger, and a majority of the automobile drivers fail to take the proper precaution. Brummit Is For Making Outside Incorporators Pay Hertford County Herald. Attorney General Brummit advocates revamping the State's tax structure in such shape and form as to make the foreign incorporation pay its share of taxes in North Carolina, rather than permit an evas ion of taxation by going up to Delaware for incorpor ation papers. In his recent utterances on the sub ject, the Attorney General lays down the proposition that North Carolinians who use the Delaware laws to incorporate simply because they aren't willing to pay the tax that their own state lays upon corpora tions are not toting fair with the citizens and tax payers who fulfill their whole obligation by taking out their papers here and operating as a duly organ ized corporation of the state rather than a "foreign corporation." Attempts have been made time and again to "get at" the foreign incorporators; particularly those liv ing in North Carolina but who turn to other states for their incorporation papers ,that they may be clas sified as foreign corporations. Major efforts to re lieve the stautes of the so-called exemption law on foreign stocks have failed, but recent enactments have liberalized the law and made a start towards ridding the lawbooks of any statute that makes it lighter on the class referred to here and about which the Attor ney General was speaking when he advocated a re fabrication of the tax laws to include Delaware incor porators. What Will Become of the CWA? Beaujort News President Roosevelt wishes to suspend CWA activi ties along about the first of May, so reports from Washington state. The expenditures of this branch of the Government have been very large, more than was intended in fact, and it seems necessary to decrease it. The principal object of the Civil Works Administra tion has been to take up the slack of unemployment until industry could get on its feet again. It is un questionably true that the CWA has been a life-saver for thousands. Many a discouraged man, ready to give up the struggle, has taken a new hold on life by reason of its assistance. President Roosevelt probably never intended to make the Civil Works Administration a permanent branch of the Government. In fact, he seems to have had in mind getting the unemployed through the winter and then expected the workers to be absorbed in the regular channels of industry. The trouble is, though, that it is easier to put people on the Govern ment payroll than to take them off. Not many of the new workers wish to stop any time soon. Some would like to stay on as long as they live. It is very much like the dole system in England. It started out on a rather small scale and has grown bigger and bigger. Now it seems impossible to stop it. The CWA is not as bad as the dole, because the people work for what they get, that is moat of them do. And some of the work has been well worth doing. , Money Out of Circulation Beaujort Nems. A report from Postmaster General Farley via the Associated Press last week conveyed the information that in North Carolina 32,K85 persons have postal savings account and that they had a total of $14,101,- 379 to their credit at the e«*d of the last fiscal year. This huge sum is out of circulation in North Caro lina. Of course, the owners' of these deposits have the satisfaction of knowing that they have the money and can get it when they want it. With guaranteed bank deposits it seems hardly necessary, though, to put savings in pott offices. According to the report, the Beaufort post office had $137,420 and the Morehaed City office had $61,180, which sum sare enough to run a right good-sized bank.
