There's a Reason The wise boys in Washington who overlook the legal steal pulled by big business manipu lators and the shady business practices follow ed by the financial wizards in Wall Street and who condemn the government for taking a hand to remedy a bad situation have placed a serious charge at the door of millions They say "Today, there is a popular belief that the na tional government should assume full respon sibility for the masses?farm subsidies, govern ment jobs, relief, insurance, promotion of un iuns, home loans, housing projects for the poor. ? pensions for the aged." The masses hold no such belief, but when a government stands idle as it did in the early thirties while the millions lost life-time savings and suffered in 'he gutters while the country have a fight to ib belief that the government should assume those responsibilities No great er liberties have ever been extended the busi ness manipulators of this or any other country was wrapped up in plenty, they, the masses, than those liberties enjoyed under the Hoover administration, and yet thousands upon thous ands were being added to the bread lines daily during that time, the business leaders pumping up the President with that well-remembered statement. ' Prosperity is just around the cor ner." While the hungry was waiting for that pros perity, industry advanced no leaders to lead the masses out of the wilderness. During that long wait, thousands of farms, homes and prop erty of the small business man were being lost, the ownership going into the hands of the few The records show that right here in this coun ty, farmers and home owners were losing their property with certain regularity, and if condi tions similar to those' existing under Mr. Hoov er had continued a few years longer, the own ership of every farm and home in the^ county would have been vested in the hands of less than a dozen persons and the way paved to a system that would make the old feudal method took perfect ui comparison. No, the people do not believe that the gov ernment should assume the responsibility of their upkeep, but they do believe the govern ment should protect them from the greedy hands that led them into debt based on 40-cent cotton and required the repayment of that debt with 5-cent cotton, the hands that grabbed mil lions in bursted banks, the hands that sold worthless bonds, the hands that profit on the misery and suffering of human beings. The keen observers in Washington should wake up to the fact that something besides the shiftlessness of the millions now on relief caused them to be there, that there is cause for many to look to the government?for a livali. hood. The business magnates of this nation have not offered to change their ways. They have merely cried that the right to do as they please might be returned to them with government's blessings to go out and rob some more. We believe a tariff is a good thing when it will save a business from failure hut th<.r^ no justification for a tariff that merely adds to and piles up profits for a few. And we believe a subsidy for the bankrupt farmer, for the un derpaid worker, and for the hard-pressed home owner is a good thing just so long as the busi ness structure under a democracy places them in those positions, ? On the Other Foot e Doubt, so blaringly expressed by the anti admimstrationists, is now on the other foot Business has doubted the sincerity and prom ises of the administration, and Republicans, greatly encouraged by such Democrats as Glass, Byrd, Bailey and Company, have and constitute one big group of Doubting Thomases. The opposition offered Lindsay Warren's re organization bill by Republicans and one Byrd causes the people to doubt if that old line is so anxious, after all, to effect reforms in govern ment It becomes more apparent day by day, that the members of the old line group are more interested in representing their own aris toerutie ideas than they are the people or in the economy of administration. Congressman Warren has led a noble fight, a fight that climaxes a struggle carried on for lurly ycjis in an effort 10 etlect economy in the administration of governmental affairs. Will It Be a Return March? The Republicans are planning a series of "On-the-March" dinners throughout the coun try during this and following weeks. Judging from the activities of the Old Guard leaders, it will be a return march, a return to the "good old Hoover days" wher?a bushel of corn bought a corncob pipe, and a man could earn the big sum of (10 cents in a single day, provided, of course, he could get a job. The question for the people to think about is. will the generals of the march lead them for ward until 1940 and then issue an order of about face.. Right Of Pride Portsmouth, (Va.i Star Our North Carolina neighbors to the South should certainly feel proud of a representative at Washington like their Congressman Lindsay Warren, who could secure an order of removal to his own State of headquarters of a $750,000 Army Engineering payroll from another Con gressman's district without the latter knowing anything about it. It would seem that Congress man Warren should surely be well on the road Lo the gubernatorial chair at Raleigh if out standing work at Washington for his home state amounts to anything. Lindsay Warren is one of Ihe outstanding men in the Houi;e of Repecacn tatives He knows how to do things. He loves his neighbors, loo, but naturally thinks of his own constituency first. All should do that. Those who do win, too, in their further ambi tions It is that kind of work that carries them to gubernatorial chairs and brings them sena torial togas.
