Belgium Goes Off Gold
Belgium has cast her lot-with the bi-metal nations,
renouncing the gold-bug gang. All debtor nations will
eventually have to do the same thing.
No nation nor no people can exist and prosper when
the value of her property is held down below a fair
median line and her securities are kept well above the
same line High-priced interest always makes for low
priced property. That is why the Morgan econo
mists always fight inflation. It makes the property
they hold claims on worth more and their bonds
worth less.
The Tnited States borrows too much and pays in
terest on it, when she could issue currency and repay
it without interest.
When this country went off the gold standard, it
reduced interest and helped the common citizen. By
cutting the Sherlock interest rate Belgium will find
she has taken a wise step. It will help her lift her
war debt burdens.
Who Is the Ringmaster
How many ringmasters are there in this legislature!'
It looks tw the old codgers on the outside as if there
are certainly as many as three.
There are the standpatters of the two lines of think
ing occuping the sides of the circle, and then there
are the Hopping clowns in the middle.
Those fellow- who represent that school of thought
which declares that most of the tax increase shall be
extracted from the class of people who have to spend
all they get for food and clothing. The other line
of thinkers claim that the useless businesses, together
with those who have big incomes should [jay more of
the tax burden of the state.
Both of ihese- sides may, to some extent, be wrong -
in their opinions, but that class of fellows who are
for a Lking on Monday and against it Tuesday must
be in a tight jam: and then when they change again
on Wednesday and you cannot de|>end on them Thurs
day?oh. consistency, thou art indeed a jewel.
But who is the ringmaster?
Bigger?But Not Better?Truck*
When the width of trucks is increufed from 90 to
96 inches, which it seems is about to be done, then it
will be wise for the common folks to leave the rood
when they see one of the big things coming.
Such trucks will cover every inch of the road, so
there will be great danger of two big wrecks. On the
other hand, if they give safe clearing lor each other,
they will kill all the walking folks unless they get in
the ditch. Yet we know the truck corporations and
car owners all have money, and what have we com
mon folks got to do with it, anyway?
Getting Down To Earth
That congressional committee which is pushing a
bill to take the profits out of war is certainly getting
its feet on solid ground.
Take the profit out of war, and you will not have
much need for a world court or for peace treaties.
War profiteers are the fellows who make us fight,
who get us into debt, who cost us bonuses and pen
sions and over half of our taxes.
Just think what rascals they are, destroying our
lives and taking our property.
Nothing New
Watauga Democrat
The Democrat lost a good job of printing the other
day?nothing new, of course?but it's worthy of note
when it loses same to the State of North Carolina,
which operates institutional plants without the handi
cap of salaries, and with the public treasury to take
care of breakdowns and other forms of graphics arts
grief. With an increasing competition from the State
in the printing business, and with an inmost full-time
Legislature figuring out new kinds of taxes, disciples
of Gutenburg are victims of increased miseries and
less strength of endurance.
More Pay for Shorter Hours
Hertjord County Herald.
The lower branch of the General Assembly, acting
with more than usual speed, approved a bill increasing
the salaries of solicitors before this paper got around
to expressing its disapproval, so we'll take the oppor
tunity now to put ourselves on record on the ques
tion. We'd like to see the school teachers get a de
cent break on the pay business, and we believe that
there is reason for raising the salaries of some other
classes working for and drawing their pay from the
people of North Carolina; those nurses in the insane
asylums, fur instance, who are jvurking fifteen hours a
day for twenty-one" dollars per nfonth. Nlaybe, too,
there are some overworked lawyers in the state who
serve as solicitors whose entire time is taken up with
their duties as prosecutors so that they cannot carry
on a lucrative civil practice as their major interest in
the law with the state-paid joh of solicitor not a side
line; and those should be given consideration, maybe
an assistant. But the general run of solicitors that
we have notice were well enough paid by a state that
must continue to levy a general sales for emergency
revenue before the house decided to raise their pay to
four thousand five hundred per year.
With more and more counties, particularly in this
district, establishing recorder's and general county
courts which handle a large part of the work that
formerly superior court solicitors were paid to prose
cute, it seems to us that this raise in pay, with short
er hours, might well have been left off until a mroe
convenient esason. Still, we guess there are a good
many ambitious legislators who want some time to be
solicitors.

MAKE AND SAVE MONEY
Use Eureka 3-8-6 for your tobacco. The extra potash balances your ex
tra nitrogen. In addition to the extra potash, it is manufactured on a state
formula from the highest grade sources of plant food. It also contains suffic
ient magnesium to prevent "sand-drown." It has also been proven in num
erous tests that your tobacco sells for enough extra money to pay for all
your fertilizer used under your tobacco crop.
Save money by using (if you possibly can) your totfacco checks, which
you will receive from the government in the next few days, to pay cash for
your fertilizer. By doing this, you will save about $4.00 per ton.
