How To Save Money Is Problem
What can the county and state save money on is
a question that some expert or some quack may ans
wer. We confess, however, that it is a question we
cannot answer.
We need the most economical government possible,
and may be extravagant in some expenditures; yet,
we fail to see any place where we can make a reduc
tion. The schools can't be cut; the police protection
can't be cut and the charities can't be cut without
disgracing those who would attempt such a drastic
act. Some things, especially the public health work,
need to be expanded. The health work even carried
on on a small scale pays the greatest dividends of any
one thing we can recaff just now. In ten years through
the fight against typhoid fever, the number of cases
and the ll'viillinu nf rtnslhg hn-e Wn Hn
creased by more than 50 percent. The reduction in
number of typhoid cases is a good illustration of
what the State Bord of Health is doing to eliminate
dangerous and contageous disease and promote the
public health. We certainly need more of
Wk.'.'.Va.i'o'r
The next legislature should face this need boldly,
and make sufficient appropriations to enable a sound
expansion of the public health system in North Caro
lina.
Deserving of Sympathy
Regardless of the misdeeds of Luke Lea and the
sins he committed in the name of politics and a mor
bid desire for riches, he now has the universal syw
pathy on account of ihe tragic death of his young son
who was killed in an automobile accident while re
turning to his home in Tennessee from the world's
fair in Chicago. With the father serving a long
term in the North Carolina State prison, and a son
being borne to his last resting place, it must bring a
sorrow and a sadness that is hard to heal.
Governor Ehringhaus did the right thing when he
permitted the father to attend the funeral of the boy.
It was a mistake for Luke Lea to violate the law,
but when we remember that his only purpose when
he started his march for power and wealth was based
on good motives, and when he saw he was thwarted
in his purpose and caught in a trap he felt that he
was forced to seek cover. Many crimes are com
mitted in this manner. A man's plans miscarry, and
he begins to seek cover with the honest desire to right
things and one mistake follows another until he finds
himself enmeshed in crime, more than he can bear.
This is no defense of Luke Lea; it is only a reminder
that many good fellows have and others may fall into
the same error. The motto of get rich slow because
it is slow is good, safe logic. On the other hand, get
rich quick is not only very uncertain but is very
dangerous.
artin County's Canning Program M
Martin Comity is possibly canning twenty thousand?
quarts of fruits and vegetables each week, including
that done in individual homes and the government
relief agencies. That is almost a quart of food for
each person in the county, but when we think there
are fifty-two weeks in the year and that if each pers
on should be allowed one pint of the vegetables each
week, it would be necessary even on that megar al
lowance to carry on the canning program twenty-five
weeks to supply our needs.
Remember, we have in the gardens, fields and or
chards of this county sufficient food to carry us
through the fruitless season. If we will take proper
care of the harvest we need not suffer want in the
fruitless months just ahead. And now is the time to
strike while the iron is hot.
German People Courting Trouble
If Hitler lets up a monarchy for Germany, it will be
no doubt, an abaolute one with Hitler reigning as
lord of all. He will have full power to kill all tboae
who refuse to bow the knee to his royal majesty.
I If Germany yields to such a government, it will la
the first time in modern history that an intelligent
and cultured people have cast their souls and bodies
at the feet of such a despot. The people of that na
tion are courting trouble for themselves and their
posterity in surrendering their liberties to such a des
pot
These Young Democratic Orgsnizetions
We would like to know why and who organize!
young Democratic dubs, and have we really two
types of Democrats? What is the difference between
a Democratic father and a Democratic son? b it
that the father is merely an old fogy who has carried
the load far decads and gained enough wisdom to shy
too many quack politicians' promises? And are the
youngsters out organizing for the purpose of gaining
the reins of government from those whom they feel
have had their day and need to retire?
We can hardly believe that either the young or the
old are out with any improper motive. It looks more
like the organizing of an army by designing politicians
to fight their battler for them. When the rank and
file of people fall out with their leaders, those leaders
seem to come back with a line of vain young poli
ticians to boost them and their cause. It may seem
strange and be daring and a dangerous thing to de
preciate or criticis the wisdom of youth of our day.
Vet, we are forced to say that it seems to us that age
ripens and developes wisdom which youth apparently
does not possess and that young Democratic organi
zations are in danger of stumbling into many dager
ous pitfalls if they follow every fellow who pats them
on the back.
The Wilfully Unemployed a Menace
Some folks are alarmed because there are so many
unemployed by no fault of anyone. Certainly the
situation is a serious one. On the other hand, the
great number of people who don't want work are a
greater menace to the country and everybody in it
than those who would work if they could find employ
ment.
It is the sluggard who is helping to hold down this*
country. The fellow who demands something to eat
and refuses to work for his food and who cares not
how he gets it, is the man who is creating a difficult
problem for the leaders of the nation to solve.
Criminal Carelessness
Beaufort News,
The Sampson Independent agrees with the Char
lotte News that too many automobile tragedies are
classed as "accidents" when "the truth is that "crim
tnii n?plif>enre" was the real cause which should have
been followed by vigorous prosecution. This seems
to be about the right view of the matter. Probably
not one person in ten thousand ever intentionally
killed anybody with a automobile. At the same
time J^ie motor cars is a deadly weapon of the most
dahgWrwus- character and the trouble s thai iu,? in,
the hands very often of some very irresponsible peo
ple. They, do not wish to kill themselves or anybody
else but by reason of their utter indifference to the
rules of careful and safe driving they are more dead
ly than the bubonic plague. The judiciary should
deal very sternly with such offenders when they are
brought into the courts.
In England, Too
Sanatorium Sun
Not in North Carolina and in other parts of the
United States alone, it appears, is the population pay
ing in the painful coin of disease and physical suffer
ing for the economic and other sins that brought on
the world-wide depression. In England, too, malnu
trition is giving the medical profession many anxious
moments.
Al the annual meeting In London of the Hostel of
St Luke, held a short time ago, Dr. T. Ixod Bennett,
spokesman for the Hostel, said, according to a writer
in The London Timet Weekly Edition, that he wis"
"astonished by the number of patients who came un
der his care suffering from malnutrition."
"It was not that they were starved men," the news
paper article went on, "but that they had not been
eating the more important articles of food."
It is greatly to be feared that, here in North Caro
lina and elsewhere as well, the deferred 111 effects of
the economic collapse will be seen and felt for a long
time after the return of brighter ihiei In the Indus-'
trial world. It appears almost inevitable that many
diseases, including tuberculosis, will show a material
increase as a result of the privations the depression
has brought, and also as a result of the drastic cur
tailment of public health activities.
Forest Fires
Greensboro News
Forest-fire damage in the organized counties, 1,783
fires, in the first six months of the year, amounted to
$336,500 plus an average cost of $7.86 per fire for
fighting it. The losses in the unorganized counties
are usually found, when a year's summary is made up,
to be several times as great as in the organized or
co-operating counties.
How much of that $330,000 would the organized
counties have been warranted in spending on preven
tion? All of it, perhaps, although there would in all
probably have been, even so, some destruction. The
fires were started by smokers, incendiarists, brush
burners, hunters, fishermen, campers, lumberers, rail
roads; 167 of unknown origin, miscellaneous causes
164, lightning 5.
Prevention work, steadily prosecuted, is education
al, of cumulative value. The incendiarist is not
thereby reached, but the more thought there is given
to protective service, the more vigorous prosecution
of incendiaKsts is likely to be. Three hundred and
forty-three incendary fires, up towards two a day, in
some 40 counties, indicate too many incendiaries.
The deterrent value of penalty may, if one likes, be
discounted. But putting them in jail is specific, as
long as it lasts.
Jail for criminal carelessness is a thing about the
virtue of which there to division. But a good, stiff
fine undoubtedly to of educational effect.
