A Day of Reckoning Soon There'll be a day of reckoning in North Car olina ere long, and it is possible that the spec ial session of the legislature now underway in Raleigh will hear something about what is cer tain to come. North Carolina's State government sooner or later will have to do a lot of explaining to the people back home before it can justify the trend of centralizing the financial structure in Ral eigh and returning a mere pittance to the poli tical sub-divisions. Starting off with a few schedule license taxes the State now dictates one of the most vicious tax policies in the country. The income tax, the sales tax. franchise tax, intangibles tax, gaSo line tax and others have followed in an almost unbroken line. It is true that the State pays for the highways after what may be recognized as a political fashion in recent years. It is true that the State supports the uniform school term but in taking the sources of revenue from the counties, it left the counties straddled with school debts. The inadequate system of caring for tuber culosis victims is a disgrace upon the State government. The money to maintain those in stitutions is taken from the counties through the complex tax system, but thousands die for lack of attention. Crowded asylums for the in sane remain crowded, and the mentally weak mntinue to rot in the common jails in nearly every one of the 100 counties while towering affice buildings are constructed to house this commission and that commission, some of which were politically hatched. There is no objection to the State govern ment stepping in and handling the functions of government. Probably with trained forces, it can do a good job, but until the day it accepts that task in its entirety let something remain at home that can produce revenue. Ruthless Medical Tactics Norfolk Ledcer-Dispatch. Last year a group of Federal employees in Washington, mostly in the lower salary clrsses, organized the Group Health Association, Inc., to provide for themselves prepaid medical care at a cost which they thought they could afford. Tl\e Association retained its own physicians who undertook to give the membership almost complete medical care. But from the beginning the Association began to be confronted with difficulties which, from information gathered by the Department of Justice, appear to have had their root in hostility on the part of the American Medical Association and the District of Columbia Medical Society, its affiliate. And .the upshot of it is that a grand jury inquiry in to the activities of the medical organizations is to be instituted. In a statement based upon an investigation of tliis situation, Assistant Attorney General fhurman W. Arnold charges that the Medical Society used the following methods in its fight against the health association: Threatened expulsion from the District Medi lcal Society of doctors who accept employment with the group. Threatened expulsion from the Medical So ciety of doctors who take part in medical con sultations with doctors of the group. Threatened expulsion from Washington hos pitals of the Group Health Association staff doctors. ! A grand jury airing of the matter, with a view to determining whether or not the anti trust laws have been violated, seems to be ful ly in order. If the situation is as it has bpen represented to be. the American Medical Association and the District of Columbia Medical Society have given tremendous stimulus to the already vig orous movement toward so-called "socialized medicine." From the information as it has been presented to the public in this case, it is appar ent that the Federal employees who formed the Group Health Association were merely attempt ing to overcome an intolerable condition in this country in which only the rich and well-to-do and the very poor are assured of adequate med ical attention, and jn which the great middle class find that medical service all too often is beyond its reach under the system which the District of .Columbia Medical Society apparent ly is determined at all costs to preserve. The tactics employed in Washington?if the facts are all as Mr. Arnold has presented them?are just the sort of tactics which will hasten the day which numerous American physicians are attempting to put off.

CARD OF THANKS We deeply appreciate the numer ous kind acts, your friendly sympa thy and the lovely floral offerings during the recent illness and death of Mrs. Mary Hollis. W. S. Davenport and Family. IN MEMORIAM STTTaul in Romans 12:10 said "Weep with them that weep, there fore the church at Hayes, weeps with our brother and pastor, Elder B. S. Cowin in the loss of his daugh ter, who was called to the Great 1 Beyond on June 20th, 1938, whose 1 passing was instantaneous and with out warning We learn by the scripture, and our own conscience that we must love them that weep to be able to weep with them that weep When Jesus saw Mary weeping "He grieved in the spirit and was troubled," and in the instance when He saw the weep ing of Mary "Jesus wept." There fore, the- church at Hayes' Swamp in conference assembled Saturday before the 4th Sunday in July, 1938, realizing the sorrows our brother is passing through by the passing of na Ills d&ugnier, and unto him we have sympathy in the loss of his com panion, desires to express to brother Cowin our sorrows and sympathy, assuring him that his troubles and sorrows are our troubles and sor rows based upon ~tove~and~ fellow; ship. We find that Daniel and others of the prophets suffered, and John the Baptist was beheaded, Paul and others of the Apostles was imprison ed and suffered death and our' Lord prayed that the cup might pass, but submitted to His Father's will and died a sacrifice for our sins. The church realises that the highway of life of God's servants are not pav ed with followers, but there is **A highway where none but the re deemed will walk and sorrow and sighing shall fly away." Hayer Swamp Church.
