December 0, DIM mmnrFrrmm’m'rrvrrriwrTYTfmTtTm'frmimrmm'm^^i Good Advice Itnt Ool of Order The president of one of the Nation’s larg est railroads recently passed out some good advice, but it is a bit out of order. He says that local communities must solve their own problems and stay out of the state capitals and Washington. He’s against re peated calls on Washington. There’s a bit of meat in his argument, but the advice is offered for the other fellow. The railroads, given the right of public do main, have called on Washington repeatedly from time immeorial until now they are al most a part of Washington. But that - aside from the point. Here in North Carolina the State takes just about all the cream of the tax crop -sales, income, gasoline, privilege, alcoholic beverage and pther taxes. Washington comes along with its various taxes. When the twa--complete their harvest, there’s little revenue left to the communities to carry on their programs. They have no other choice but to call on Ral eigh and Washington. And the irony of the advice is that it comes at a time when the big guys have a better showing in Washington than the lit tle fellows have. .4 Had (omhination , The one-crop system and other factors save had much to do with holding the South (lose to poverty, but the combination of fered by a ruthless landlord and a sorry ten Mt is still one of the greatest drawbacks fac ing the agricultural South today. Possibly the system is improving and it is r.dmitted that many landlords and tenants are making a go of it. but the courts have iheii dockets crowded with disputes be tween owners and croppers. Not so long ago there was a landlord-ten ant ease in the courts. Cash advances to the tenant just before time for the annual set tlement carried ten percent interest. Hay end corn, fertilizer and seed were furnished bv the landlord at a premium. It appeared | Mi * • •” ! to be a clear cut case of usury, but nothing | was said aboiit it right there in the seat of i justice or where justice is supposed to be. I Any one confronted with an interest rate of j 100 percent or more could possibly get ahead : faster by butting his head through a brick wall. While the landlord lined his pockets, the 'V y \ vf4 c v pv \ p v■ • v, c o j and down-right meanness or contrariness did not live up to a decent standard, allow | ing crops to ruin. For sorriness, it is a com ^■■•ration that is hard to Deal, but it is a com , o nation that can beat ‘How'n’an agricultural"* economy. And that’s not saying anything about those tenants who complete the year with right much cash, but who throw it to the four winds without delay to make certain lhat they start the new year, with two ! strikes against them. { - y n Ti»o / By Ruth Taylor. / It is a habit with the majority 1n speaking of the minority to comryient on how careful they must be, to say that like Caesar’s wife they must always be above reproach, that each and e\/*ry act must be watched, and that the individual must consider the effect of his actic/ns upon {he group from which he comes. That is plain horse sense — I’ve preached it myself. But sometimes I wonder if the majority in this country ever realizes that this applies to us as well—that we are but a minority in the world, by both race and nationality. It is up to use at all times to be good ad vertisements for democracy and for the de mocratic way of life. We preach to the Europeans of the folly of their national and trade barriers, of the dividing lines between countries. But we don’t see anything tragic, only humorous, in the story of the Boston gentlewoman who could not understand why there should be a fog in San Francisco when it was three thousand miles away from the ocean! We turn to the East and talk to the Asi atics of the Wonders of Democracy and of how they should conduct their lives. But how well do we demonstrate the brother hood of mankind0 How good is our own record? Both national and personal? Are we entirely guiltless? Every act of discrimination, every out break of intolerance, every one of the vitup erative cat fights in which we indulge dur ing political campaigns is a black mark against democracy in the eyes of the onlook ing world. Of course we know what we mean. We discount half our own talk. But the people of other nations take us at lace value and ask: Is that democracy?” We are judged abroad—just as we judge our own minorities—by our actions and our speech as individuals. And as individuals we must bear witness for the things in which we believe. As we would be judged, so must : we act. We do pray for mercy; And that same prayer doth teach us all to render the deeds of mercy.—Shakespeare. 1 believe a knowledge of the Bible without a college course is more valuable than a col lege course without a Bible.—William Lyon Phelps.
