Friday, January 3, 1936 Victory for Organized Wealth The Supreme Court decision sounding the death knell of the AAA is a distinct victory for organized wealth. The farmer, the laborer, and the small trader or merchant may just as well say good-bve to their lib erties. They will no longer be permitted to go to the factory owners and say what they need for their labor and for their products without receiving in re turn a kick and a scoff, because the whole aim of the factory will be to produce dividends, and the men who do the worf will not have even the privilege of claim tnu their soul as their own. By that decision, they will have to bow to the Trust Baron in everything he does and savs." Who Is Being Destroyed? President Roosevelt put his critics on the spot in his speech l'riday night. He demanded that they special ize in their criticism and suggest something better for the people than what we now have, and not continue crying Destruction, destruction,' without telling the public who is being destroyed and how they are being destroyed. It certainly is not the bankers; things are much bet ter for them. It could hardly be the railroads, for they are in better shape than they have been ire years. In (act. who is it that is not getting along better now than they did when Hoover had the reins of govern ment. Oh, yes: possibly we forgot to make an exception of the money barons, who have nothing to do but draw interest They are disappointed because the government lowered the value of their mortgages and raised the value of the property mortgaged. Ninety |>er cent of the people are geting along much better now than they did before Roosevelt grabbed the rins from the gieedy and gave other people a chance. We know one money changer who does not like the New Deal because he says that whereas he used to be able to buy his neighbors' property just around the corner for $500, that this damnable New Deal makes him pay $1,500 for th esame property now. Although wealth seems to hate Roosevelt and is ly ing about him and backbiting him at every step, they are having much better business now than they did before Roosevelt took hold. Preserving the Soil In passing farms recently ,it was noticed that some fields were well covered with beautiful green cover crops, serving not only as g5tod winter pasture but holding the soil and preventing erosion. This growth was taking up the fertility that was evaporating and oozing out of the soil. Then we found other fields, where there was noth ing to keep the soil from washing down hill into the ditches and swamps. By keeping account, it will be found that the fields that are green in winter will produce better in sum mer. We should look toward a better preservation of our soil if we are to have a richer state. Plan Now for the Farm Year January is the best month to lay out ihe farm plans for the year. The proper land can be set aside for the various crops; the amount and kind of fertilizer to be used and the many things that will count so much at the end of the year can be decided upon now. Work well planned will make the work much easier and the results more satisfactory. Selecting good seed corn on rainy days will increase the yield the next harvest. The farmer who pays no at tention to his hogs and cattle in bad winter weather is almost always a meat-buyer the next year, and has to buy milk and butter if he gets them at all. The fanner who keeps plenty of straw and woods mold in his barn lot does not have to wade through mud and water during the winter and spring and he has some thing with whijch to fertilize his land for potatoes and other crops. The man who plans well and works diligently will have ? good year and appreciate the results of his isork. On the other hand, the man who gives little thought to the year's work has to go to town to ask somebody to furnish his fertiliser and tobacco cloth. Then, to make it easy to prepare a tobacco bed, be goes down to the lower end of a field, where millions of grass seed and bushels of weed seed have accumulat ed, and piles down a heavy quantity of fertiliser to prepare his seed bed. When the time conies for plant ing corn, cotton, and peanuts and preparing tobacco land. h*s whole family has to rush to the tobacco bed and stand on their heads almost to keep the weeds and grass from taking the bed. When they start to plant corn, they have to rush off and get their seed corn, and the same thing occurs when they go tP plant pea nuts. They must go off and get them somewhere be cause they have sold out all their crop and forgotten the importance of seed. They have made no provision for a sweet potato crop, which is very important. They have to beg sprouts after their neighbors have finished planting and seldom make a good crop under such circumstances. Then, when the cultivating season comes, it is nearly always too-wet or too-dry and poor cultivation that lowers the yield. He fails to "sucker' the tobacco, lets the worms eat it up and gets a poor crop. When he puts it in the curing barn he has failed to provide good wood and does not get a good cure; then puts it down end lets it damage. As a final re sults, the tobacco sells for about half price and the producers have very little to eat, and are not able to poy all their expenses. They call it a cruel, sad and dreary world. Most men could do bettet if they would. The ques tion is: Is it a sin for a man to be so slothful that he permits himself and family to suffer when he has op port unities to do better? Hauptmann's New Evidence No one wants Hauptmann electrocuted if he is not guilty. But, so far as we know, no defendant has ever had to depend so much on what his attorneys said they were going to prove to establish his innocence. De fense Attorney Reilly's whole drift throughout the trial was that he had some tesitmor.y "up his s'eeve" whidi would free Hauptmann. It was never produced. Now that Hauptmann's final day is drawing so near his netV attorney, Fisher, claims he has a lot of tes timony for Hauptmann which he is going to present at the proper time. But he has not shown it yet. The purpose so far seems to have been to try to impress the public mind with the idea of Hauptmann s innocence. They seem to want to create the impres sion that somebody led in the commission of the crime. There is nothing more sure to the average man than the fact that Hauptmann was concerned in the crime: that he is able to tell all altjjpt it; and that he is the man to explain the whole story rather than to have lawyers doing snide things for him. Evidently, they can easily find a liar who will do the swearing all right, but they will not risk him to keep his story straight. Hauptmann Himself, with all his shrewdness, has not lieen able to tell a laceuble story. If there is any truth in the lawyer's claim, Haupt mann knows it, and he should tell it. Days Just as Cold Alter Christmas Roxboro Courier. We were struck with a cartoon in one of the dailies recently when Ma Green was on her way with baskets for the poor. She was met by One of her friends who asked, "Don't you know Christmas has passed?" Ma Green replied, "Yes; but 1 have noticed it is just as cold and folks get just as hungry after Christmas as they do on Christmas Day." Just before Christmas the folks of Roxboro and I'erson County made great efforts to see that every family in the town and county had some of the bless ings of Christmas and had just cause to feel that Santa Claus had not forgotten them, but we must not forget that the days following Christmas have been just as cold as before, and we trust that no family has been allowed to suffer for want of clothing, fuel or any other necessity. "Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these, you have done it unto me" was not for one day in the year, but for every day when there was necessity for such action. G If you happen to know of any family in distress, without wood or coal, not sufficiently clothed to be comfortable, or without the necessities of life, and can not furnish such things yourself, then be sure to let it be known to proper authorities for no one in this good county must be allowed to suffer. Surely out of the abundance which has been couchsafed us during the past year we are not going to let any innocent one suffer. Drunken Driving Costs Money FJkin Tribune liquor immediately behind the steering wheel is costing the motorists of this state a right rizeable sum, according to the report of the state highway patrol, covering operations during the month of November. The report indicates an increase in drunken driving during November, as compared with the two preced ing months. The comparison shows that there were 332 arrests for driving while drunk in November, 317 in October and JbO in September. The more than $44,000 in fines and costs coming from traffic violations is not broken down to show the part that liquor played in these fines and costs, but doubtless it would amount amount to a large part of the total. The total arrests by patrolmen during November, however, shows a decline from 3,111 in September to 2,898 in October and 2,832 in November. During November 2,504 of the 2,832 charged with traffic vio lations were convicted and sentenced to an aggre gate of 488 months and IS days for their offenses in addition to the more than $40,000 they had to pay in fines and costs. The patrolmen recovered propel ty valued at $9,986. Through the collection of fines that go into the pub lic treasury and the recovery of stolen property, there is abundant evidence that the patrolmen are earning their keep, and those who would abolish this factor of law enforcement would do well to consider this aspect before settling themselves for an argument.
