Addrcaa all commuatcatioiii ta The Enterpriie aad not to the iadmdual mrmheri of the firm Friday, September 14, 1934 More Money and Less Debts l The monetary question, which is the most import ant of all the proposed reforms, seems to have been . dropped. Yet before we ever meet the legitimate needs of the country we must have a sensible, sane money system run entirely by the government ami not by | the grafting bankers. For many years our government has had very lit tle to do with its money system. We struggled for half a century under our old banking laws. In De cember. 1913, the country had become so disgusted with the old order of things that Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act, which had as one of its major purposes, "the furnishing of a more elastic curren cy," yet we have had no increase or elasticity. Prac tically the same amount of currency is in existence and much less gold. The Federal Reserve system has been administered in every detail by the bankers wh > own it, since the government does not own a (jenny of the stock of the Federal Reserve system. It is Tun entirety by bankers who are rested with the power j to curtail 01 expand at their will, antfThey always ,] prefer to curtail, because they caw eottect more in terest ! This line-up of bankers and their allied bondholders own the gold as well as the bonds, and they are so expert af the fleecing game that they are collecting from the government itself moj than 14 |ter cent in terest on every dollar in existence every year There are less than $7,(XX),000,000 in existence in the Unit ed States, and yet our government owes the banks and bondholders more than 27 billions of dollars, which means that we owe bondholders $4 for every $1 they actually own. The bankers have been 55 skillful arid the govern ment so slothful and ignorant that they have |iermitted the bankers to manipulate all of our money, all of our business, all of our debts, and collect interest { enough from us to practically bankrupt us -and yet j our folks are stupid enough to let theni continue to do it. And the very fellows who are sucking the blood out of the government are always harping a gainst debts. ? Nobody denies the sliiewdnrss ui boiniliultlets and bankers, because anybody who can loan the money of the country four times to the government and col lect interest out of it every time has some inherent ability But when the government is too stupid to see what they are doing and fails to stop that kind of business by issuing more money from their presses, it is time for us to stop and do a little figuring and perhaps change a few Congressmen. We have overstrained our currency system too long, which has forced us to borrow from sharks who have always swallowed us up wheneveV they get good and hungry They lower prices at will and take farms, homes, and food and clothing from the folks, forcing them to issue new bonds and make new mortgages. More money and less debts will solve the problem. Mr. President. Keep the Plunderers Out ? No people o( any country since the begining of the history of man have been pillaged and rubbed as badly as we Americans. Beginning with our public domain, and running on down to almost every contract the country has made, we have been the victims of grafters in almost every possible manner. First our choice western lands were grabbed up by the railroads, and they made billions. They chiseled us out of our mineral and oil lands worth many bil lions, and we have been taxed to pay subsidies to en rich railroads and steamship lines. We have been taxed to pay shipbuilders great profits for every boat we have ever had built. In fact, the government has been in the hands of grafters most of the time for half a century. Every investigation that Congres has made shows that we have paid too much for what we have gotten in nearly every deal we have made. The very fellows who have robbed, cheated and beaten the government are the .num. fellows who are fighting the new deal. They are the same fellows who ruled and ran Mr. Hoover's administration at the time so many bank and business failures took place. Voters don't forget the time and place: Hoover's administration, in the United States. Now, watch Mr. Hoover try to help fool the folks again. He wants to take the reins of government out oi the hands of democracy and restore them to s gang gobbled up all the wealth the gov An Opportunity To Do Better Only two mart months aad the hwnfrrrli of ands of voter* of North Carolina will say whether they favor retaining the old constitution or whether they favor the proposed amendments We know that making rules under which future generations will have to live and move is a job that requires great wisdom. Therefore, we now have the opportunity to make a few changes Must of them are decidedly better, or at least are an improvement over the old. Government is the outgrowth of the experience of past generations. Most of these experiences have been changed and improved on from time to time, and no one generation has been able to formulate a code that would take care of all the needs of the com ing generation. We may cling to the old Constitution, but if we do we will certainly miss some good gov ernmental functions that our own national govern ment has tried and which most of the states of the I'nion have tried with much success. Now is the time to study the constitution in order that we may vote wisely in November. Up To Youth The young people of the world today are the folks wlio are going to regulate the wars of the future. Youth has discovered that their part in war is to go into the trenches and be shot down or blown up with bombs or jjrrhaps |x>isoned to death with gas. They have discovered that to die facing a fellow man is to die like a tool. Youth has discovered that they do not hate the other .fellow and that he hates to kill his brother, man, v/ho may leave a widow and childrer. or brothers and sisters, or a father and mother. Truly the young people have learned a lot of things about war. They know that even if they go to war and do not happen to kill some other man or get killer! themselves they will go home and put their necks in a tax yoke that will burden them to the very knd of their lives, and that the coffin in which (hey are buried will bear a war tax. The only fellow who wants war is the fellow who doesn't care who gets killed nor who has to pay taxes just so he can make millions. Young men, tell the nations you were not made 'o kill men, but to help men. The Highway Toll FJ kin Tribune. According" to figures submitted in the . "by the Motor Vehicle Bureau, 455 lives were sacrificed on North Carolina's magnificent highways during the fust seven months ot the present year. Drunken, reckless, . and hit-and-run drivers are charged with must of this toll, while simple carelessness and crave of speed on the part of the motorists furnish cause for the balance. " The records show that drunken drivers were respon sible for 7 deaths; speeders slew 16; recklessness re sultd in 17 fatalities and 5 lives were lost in grade crossing mishaps; 7 children were struck down while at play, 4 of them being the victims of hit-and-run varmints, not yet made to account for their crime. These fatalities are by no means the only loss. There must be added the injuries that did not prove fatal and the material loss involved, and these pre sent abundant reasons why we should be pulled up with a jerk. We have this long list of fatalities, injuries, and damage to property because the motorist has not yet gras|>ed the meaning of his responsibilities. He re fuses to drink his liquor and remain from under the steering wheel; he does not concern himself with what or who is around the bend or across the brow of the hill; he does not place the proper value on the lives of little children; he is not going anywhere in particu lar, but he craves speed and is in a powerful hurry to get there. Until motorists in general desert their present frame of mind, nothing much can be done about it unless we provide a driver's license law with teeth?one that will keep his toe off the accelerator after he has once provd his recklessness. A Man Stands Up Xews and Observer. While the chief of police of High Point may have had the letter of the law in support of his refusal to accept the telegraphic bond of Frank P. Graham, pres ident of the University of North Carolina, for a young Socialist in jail there on a charge of strike trespassing, everybody else in North Carolina knows that by tele phone, telegraph, letter or voice Frank Graham's word is as good as his bond. They also know that in any time of crisis in North Carolina Frank Graham can be depended upon to take without flinching the liberal position and the criticism from conservatives which the taking of that position entails. Dr. Graham undertook to go on the bond of the young Socialist, who was arrested with a lot of non-Socialists, not because he shares that young man's economic views, but because, having known the young man as a student, he was "confident you have com mitted no crime." Such a willingness to stand by his faith in men and to aid them in securing an even-handed justice is needed in North Carolina today, when there is real danger that the forces of government are more pre occupied with the preservation of the rights of prop erty than safeguarding the rights of men. Liberals in North Carolina today who wish the maintenance of order but not the use of timidity as an excuse for extra legal strike breaking, who wish the protection of property rights but not at the expense of human rights, who know that for all the talk of violence and for all the gleaming bayonets there has not been one Mrop of blood spilled by the strikers, will thank God that the courage of one great liberal gleams also in the present darkness. IRISH POTATO GROWER^MEET SEPTEMBER 20 Congressman Lindsay War ren To Preside; AAA To j Be Represented Washingtoa. N. C? September 12-?, Just ?? stricken tobacco farmers a ynr ago went forth to Wmtangton.' D. C.. ?o are atricken potato farmers [ preparing to conrerge on Washington, | N.

He has been assured i hat the meeting har the deep interest .foe Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Adjustment Admin istration and he has painted to Chester C Davis. Administrator of the AAA | the picture of the plight of the grower. The administration will send to the meeting either Mr. Davis himself, or j Harry K. Wellman, chief of the gen eral crops section, or Jiis assistant. Porter K. Taylor. The Department of Agriculture will be represented by A. K Mercker, its potato specialise Con gressman Warren is to preside over the meetings, which Mr Davis says he I wishes to "make an outstanding mile stone in developing a potato program. | Although relief was secured for the j tobacco grower, it is going to be a much harder proposition for the man ' who grows potatoes. Tobacco was a j basic commodity under the original Agricultural Adjustment Act, and po taties have not yet been included. While Congressman Warren is firm in the opinion that potatoes should be made a basic commodity, he and oth ers agree that even if successful in get ting them included that it would prob ably he too late for the 11135 crop. The present emergency is therefore to curtail the 1135 acreage, and to this III" V" ' ' I' " ~ egations from Virginia and Soutli Car olina have already stated tliey will at r? tend. I ^fhose who know Congressman Wa ren believe that the meeting held his auspices will lie one of action and that1 a definite program will be formulated. His great work in the tobacco program is well known and hi* decision to lead the fight for the potato farmer has met with wide commendation. <* ?
