Friday, February 7, 1936 False Rulers-Leaders The better class of people seem to have lost out in the governing of the world. We find many rulers who are scarcely above common murderers. They press their autocratic power on weaker nations claim ing they are justified because they are doing God's work by knocking and shooting the savagery out of the ignorant and helpless people when the truth is they are shooting the life out of them in order that they may steal their homes and loot their property. The rulers of Italy, German and Japan are in this class, trying to grab the world for their own selfish purposes. Coming down to our own country, we find just as much and even more selfishness, but for the present, at least, different tatics are used by the leaders of wealth and power. Their main plan oi strategy is through governmental laws favorable to themselves. When they own a congress, they are always able to get laws through which will enable them to gather in mountainous profits. It is doubt ful if any nation on earth grants as much favortism to select classes as does America, and her greatest danger lies within her own borders. They try to scare the country by shouting communism, which presents no danger whatever just now. But the heavy keel of the few pressing on the necks of the many may some day cause a revolution that will spell dis aster and jierhaps great destruction. Great wealth and combinations claim they are acting within the law and under the constitution when everyone knows there never was any intention to have any thing in the constitution that would permit any man or group of men to profit unfairly or dishonestly on any other man or group of men. Perhaps the gang of felk>wv called the Liberty Leaguers, are the most braaeo ever tent out in A merica to fool the people. They deserve lees redact than even the ordinary gangsters, for they try to destroy by falsehoods while the gangster shoots his own way. We choose the gangster of the two, and it is a safe choice compared with what the other group would do. Wild Liie in Politics Jay N'. Darling, former chief of the Federal Bio logical Survey at Washington, says wild life must en ter politics if it ever gets anywhere. Of course, the beasts and the birds may just as well submit themselves tc the politician, because the poli tician has alreadv grabbed everything else, and he will naturally pick the birds and skin the beasts just as soon as he finds them fat enough. It will be a great day when politicians are not al lowed to get their graft out of everything in the na tion. Who Pays Twice? Elton Tribunt In a long editorial the Gastonia Gazett asks the question, "Is Uncle Sam Trying to Ruin the Textile Industry?" and comes to the conclusion that it is. The editor quotes Dr. Claudius T. Murchison, head of the Cotton Textile Institute, whose process of reasoning naturally coincides with the high salary he receives for looking after the textilers' interests, and who professes deep concern over the fact that the gov ernment seeks to recapture the processing tax through retroactive collection. The Gazette, which moves and has its being in the center of textile activities, agrees with Dr. Murchison that this will mean bankruptcy for a number of cot ton mills throughout the country. "It will be impos sible for them to pay this tax twice," says the Ga zette, "for that is what it will mean, because much of this tax that has been ordered back to the mills will go to the customers and converters who have been protected by the dO-day clause." ? What does the Gazette mean when it says the mills will pay twice? They have collected from the cus tomers, their customers have collected from the con sumer, and it is the latter that has done the paying? and it is the consumer who will receive none of it back. Nor will the mills pay again, for in the Ga zette's own words "if these taxes go back on the processor, the prices of cotton goods, meat and flour will again go out of sight." If these processing taxes are made retroactive, if they are collected the second time, the consumer, not the mills, will do the paying. The Gazette declares that it is this sort of legisla tion that has caused opposition among the textile in te'rests to the present administration, and calls it "enough to estrange the textile industry for all time to come." It all depends upon whose ox is gored. These same textilers to a man would oppose the elimination of the general sales lax in North Carolina, which the merchants are compelled to collect and pay. They have benefited through the elimination of the lS cent property levy, and bear practically none of the re placment. 2 1-2 ACRE FARM WITH S ROOM house for sale. One-half mile from depot, Parmele.
