The Enterprise and not to the individual members of the firm Friday, January 11. 1935 r's Jleeomm?nd$tions Governor Ehrinphaitt needs help. He will find plenty of critics of the program he outlined in his message to the General Assembly. VVe always do that, hut what he really needs is constructive help. He recommends a number of things which need to he done I'ndoubtedly the most im|K>rtant is a larger school fund. His road and bridge recommendations are sound and need suppirt. His request for a law authorizing and requiring all drivers of automobile to have license is good. Another excellent recommenda tion is that of ratifying the child labor amendment to the 1'. S Constitution, which would prohibit for all time child lalmr in factories. His proposal to change the absentee ballot law is good. Cnemploy ment insurance is one of our needs, and it is time to begin it in this legislature. Then there is his |x?licy of school-book rental and free textbooks for all pupils. All these principles are sound and would-tend, to improve our social system. Yet many of the recom mendations will bump into strong opposition, mostly becalise we have a people who. prefer wild |a-rsohal extravagance in their expenditures rather than to |>av it.mi trciitfr to' tld" a better ' ' ? government. "llr ermnent and to meet the needs of the citizens. Road Building Comes First ~Of the pro|>osals for public works presented by President Roosevelt in his message to the Congress, perhaps public road building is the most ini|xirtant. closely followed by the building of rural homes. For immediate relief, the government can put every idle man in the country to working on the roads and pay them with appropriations already allotted for that purpose And when we consider that road improve^ ment will Ire the most universal help to the public of any other thing we can do, it becomes far more im portant. It will doubtless give more general satisfac tion than if the money was S|nnt in draining a law men's farms and for other selfish purposes. On the Road to Ruin Japan has at last set a course that will eventually mean her downfall. She has gone into the manufact ure of automobiles She will invest a large part of her money in cars, gas, and oil, and what site lacks of starving to death she will make up for by killing the balance of the folks. It is a good thing for the rest of the.world. Slue will destroy herself within the s|ieed limit. 'Tax the Other Fellow" "Tax the other fellow" seem.- to be the guiding principle of taxation, and it is 99 per cent unanimous This same principle is the cause of most of our trou bles in government Too many folks want to stay at the milking end of the cow and too few are willing to stand at the feed ing end. It is apparent that we are now in for a long siege of tax-dodging argument, both in Kaleigh and in Washington. Some of us would like to see big bonus bills, but no school support, and it makes no differ ence in which direction we look we find fellows?the lax-dodger, and at his side we find the fellow who wants to gather all he can from the public treasy. One of our greatest needs is a conscience that will teach us the difference between right and wrong. We sit liiusr wliu have no must lemt* always wining to grab but never to give. Public Health Program A large numlter of health workers will meet in Ra leigh at Slate College- next ? week to discuss various health measures likely to come la-fore the legislature. The names of many prominent men ap|>oar on the program, both from North Carolina and other states. Questions of great iin|virtance will l?e discussed. We have already found about all the germs, both L'ood and bad we llave found out all -jboul i ll-inOn. and about a lot of diseases. Still we die. It is up to -""'?'h' al?<i(-i(( lo find llie~rc3HTff"why we are having more deaths among children than we did a few years ago. We need to know.why four times as many chil dren die under 1 years of age in North Carolina as die in Australia at the same age. Our legislature needs to increase- its appropriations for health service, and our schools need to teach the ill-effects of tobacco, alcohol, and other narcotics and habit-forming drugs on health Need an Even Start We regret to hear that some landlords are reducing the acreage of their tenants In fact, it is said in at least a few cases that the landlords have stopjx-d their sons from sth<ml to give Them a part of the adneage of former tenants, which gives the tenant scarcely enough to justify remaining-on the farm We believe that more people need to go on farms, but w hen a man roots out a satisfactory tenant to give place for his kindred, whereby he may gobble up the I big profits he hopes to receive because of the de- " creased acreage, we regard the act as hard and mid. 1 - Hut- -whw-wilt some men-resort-trr fur ptrtRtftlSffr" ?"??UE We all need an even start for a hard pull If we do in it gel it, we wil| soon lie-back in the intni- ultl rut Too Much Politics Again There seems tu be rather lixirmtcb pnliticsgft ting inln I he recovery program. In Mime eases, among the higher-ups, you need to be kin to somebody or to have political prestige to land the liest job-. And then some of the lower-downs get on the relief rolls | j and stick so tightly and make so little effort to im I prove their own condition that it is ini[x>ssible to shake them off. Counting Costs AVtej and Observer. Stringent economy practiced by the last legislature has resulted in such deterioration of North Carolina's roads that it will cost $t>, 152,000 to put them back into such shape as they were two years ago, state Pub Jic Work- Commissioner ('apus Wat iVk estimates And how much will it cost to put the schools and the agencies of public health and public welfare, the insti tutions for the alleviation of suffering and the protec tion of the state, and the three units of the I'niversity back jnlo suth shajre as they were two years amf Somebody might estimate the cost in dollars, but nn Ixidy can estimate the cost in the loss of values high er than dollars and- more |>erinanent even than holes in concrete.
