' ■ : by Governor Scott | ought t be - ef re the people at all : times as sorr.et; g to shoot at in this busi- I ness of making democracv work. When the industrialist who sits in the leg islature earnestly tries to put himself in the ! shoes of the laboring man. when the legis- ! lators who are leaders in farm or labor or ganizations strive to throw off their selfish j tendencies and seek a real understanding ! of the effect of farm or labor legislation on J other economic groups, when city and rural i members diligently study the attitude; ef j each other, the chances are great that bills j promoting the welfare of the total commun ity will begin to take precedence ovc r meas- j ures aimed at special advantage s for one group or another. There is a false theorv of democracy abroad in the land which stands in the way of reaching the Governor's goal of having 1 public officials represent the people instead of selfish interests. It is the theory that i men ought to vote and act in politics for the accomplishment of those things which will benefit their own particular group—busi ness. farm or labor and that the sum total of all these selfish votes and actions will ! somehow add up automatically to demo cratic government executed for the best in terest of the people as a whole. I The trouble with this theorv is that it simply isn’t in the nature of things for sel • - ^ ’ fj’ If; ;. ' V,1 •• 11 lhr* at*-. in life. And democracy will never fulfill its destiny until its diverse racial, economic and social groups adopt the pattern of ' thinking selflessly in terms of the rights ’ and aspirations of those on the other side . of the fence. Nor will democracy survive if its dominant factor is pressure politics for selfish interests.—Smithfield Herald. Out Of Rulanrp When everything is high and the balance is nearly perfect, no major upset in the or ’ ..mv is to be expected. The same holds true when everything is low; that is. prices lor labor, farm produce, manufactured goods, and so forth. It may not be serious, but the economy is gradually getting out of balance. A recent report shows, despite farm price supports, that farm income was down 18 percent in September Another report shows a drop in workers’ income and points out that the wage earner’s income in Martin County during the first quarter was only $21.71 per week. The average was based on wages received in manufacturing. Incident ally the average wage paid in North Caro lina during the period was $41.92 per wpek, according to the North Carolina Employ ment Security Commission. Possibly there is a reason, but offhand it is a bit difficult to understand why workers in manufactur ing in Martin County receive $21.71 per week while the average in the State is $41,92. Anyway, the income of the farmer is ap parently downward. But according to a re- | port carried in the Christian Science Moni- : tor. earnings for industry, or major portions j of it. are still climbing to dizzy heights. The i report, to mention a few. says E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company had for the first ! nine months of this year an increase in earn- ! ings of 76 cents a share. Earnings for the Alpha Portland Cement Company jumped from $2.24.131 to $3,305, 820 -just a million dollar gain in net earn ing's. « ** ** Helena Rubinstein, Inc., reported a 100 i percent gain in its earnings or net profits. A slight gain in profits was reported by 1 Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Co. Two or three small corporations reported declines, including Copperweld Steel Com- 1 pany. Pacific Mills and a few others. The re port com red only a small segment of indur- | try. hut it is of sufficient size to show that j industry's profits are going one way, for the most part, while farm income is going the 'other. i Voppw/ In your every-day relations with your fel lowmen “are you a refrigerator or an incu bator?"- The Window Seat.
