Srplenihrr 20. 10.11 | igg!;Se5*5-' /,<*/ Mr. Uyril Spraf; President Tmman-a-&>w days ago-made a speech on 1 he budget, and alter scanning it one is almost convinced that Harry Byrd and a lew others have been harping on economy mul budget slashing purely for political it a..oils atui against their own par ty. The President explained that fifty bil lion of the sixty-eight billion dollai budget or 70 percent of the total goes for national security. Would Byrd cut that? Another six billion goes for interest on the national debt. Would Byrd cut that or would he have his government default? Approximately five billion goes to veter ans. the men who were over there fighting while men like Mr. Byrd were getting salary increases in comfortable positions back home. Would Mr. Byrd cut that budget figure? More ti,,... a billion of the total is budget id for the aged and the helpless. Maybe Mr. Byrd would slash or wipe that out alto gether in the name of economy. One-half billion is earmarked for rapidly deteriorating highways. The President pointed out that the amount brings big re turns as an investment. When those items are added, approxi mate])' six billion is left to run the govern ment. In 1940, six percent oi the budget went' to run the government. The amount is now only four percent of the total. And yet, the Byrds would whack six bil lion off the budget. Mr Byrd talks a great deal about econo my. but when he weighs the facts he has lit tle ground to stand on except for cheap political purposes. When Mr. Byrd goes on record as favoring a reduction in his $15,000 annual pay and a -marked decrease in his expense account, then, and not until then, can we follow his baloney talk about econo my. inil n liul Do Tln-y Ojjt>r? All across the land the reactionaries and the politicians in the “out” are yelling about government controls. Well, there are not too many who want government controls, but before controls are lifted many would like* to know what will replace them. We have talked about bungling, bureau oats. and costs. The bill has come pretty high But those who would abolish controls and tie the hands of government, have little to offer except the ole “boom and bust” plan. And we dare say that the 1929 bust and the succeeding Hoover days cost this country more than all the money spent in the name of ?tip ne.Hon’s economy from that eventful day m March. 1932. until tins very' day. Before we take off controls on tobacco, controls on the stock exchanges and con trols on anything or everything, pray let us know what the gripers of today will offer m then stead. Worthy Appointmenl The appointment of Itimous Valentine to the North Carolina State Supreme Court by Governor Scott a few days ago is a worthy one. Justice Valentine succeeds William A. Devin who was named to fill the position of Chief Justice made vacant by the death of W. P. Stacy, an able jurist. Justice Valentine and his talents have been overlooked too long. Few men have worked more conscientiously for the better ment of North Carolina and its people down through the years. He merits the high posi tion and his ability qualifies him for it. 1 must stand with anybody that stands ri|ht, stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.—Abra ham Lincoln. Suspicion Must Bo Removed Many travelers do not pick up hitch hik ers because in a few isolated eases the hik ers have attacked their benefactors. Be cause of a few cases, many are suspicious and thousands of servicemen and others, worthy of a lift, are denied. In this county not long ago, an aged cou ple was robbed of more than $1,000. It was later learned that the couple received pen sions. More recently a Raieigh woman got an automobile and it was later learned she was a welfare subject. The public is becoming suspicious of hitch hiker's and ponsioneis because of, a few irregular cases. The suspicion must be removed in one way or another or vise the worthy needy are going to suffer. It has been the practice to protect the pride of the welfare charge, but tin* fellow paying the taxes is becoming suspicious; and, after all, he is entitled to know what becomes of bis money. "( lean l p interim" Making a final report following fifteen months investigating crime throughout the nation, the Kefuuver Senate Crime Com mittee calls for action to “clean up America.” While the task to clean up rests in the final analysis with the individual., more par ticularly with the voter. North Carolina can undo some of the things it has done. In stead of creating crime breeding places at race tracks, it should rule them out. It just does not make sense for a common wealth to prosecute the crap shooter, the punchboard puncher, the slot machine play er and then give legal status to track gamb ling. In every court session, including those held bv the inferior courts from time to time and the' "big" courts each quarter in this county, the public should see that jus tice is meted out accordingly. There have been too many instances where prosecutors have winked at crime with the approval of the public. Currently, three murder cases are in the courts of this county. The courts can’t main tain respect for ihe law by slapping killers on the back, freeing them with a virtual in vitation to go and kill again. If the courts do not act to maintain respect for law and order, then the public should step in and see that respect is maintained. No one sanctions persecution, but there must be stern prosecution if this county, State and nation a to be cleaned up, (riim Itlcrs I ox t Sol t > (a an to ieK The Louisville Courier-Journal. The lax bill now up for discussion by the Senate Finance Committee will gain,neither revenue nor distinction from its proposed special levy on bookmakers and lottery op erators. Senator George', who is justifiably doubtful of the principle behind the tax, nevertheless says he won’t oppose it and be lieves it will get committee approval. Such a tax puls the Bureau of Internal Revenue in an intolerable position. If it suspects evasion, it must go out and prove that the evaders are gamblers. If it collects tlu> tax it becomes a sort of licensing agent for an illicit occupation. It has to work out some sort of rule for estimating the “gross business’’ done by professional gamblers, whose major concern is to keep their gross business a secret. The number of agents required lor all this extraneous sleuthing will probably eat up the revenue and the sheer administrative weight of the plan will probably defeat it anyhow within two years. The tax bill now emerging into the light of day is a pretty ragged and sorry speci men. It raises little new revenue, taps far too few sources of inflationary cash, and drags in gimmicks like the gamblers’ tax to justify a poor job haphazardly done. > -.—- i «» let I hern ray Is II ** i,o Those able economists with a NAM lean ing are still bellowing tor 'puy-.;v--vv'. go tax ation ’. But the very minute a tax is propos ed, they move in to tear it down. Their slogan would better fit if it read, “Let the others pay as we go.” 1 he same economists or “know-how boys” say taxation is needed to thwart inflation. Then they turn and fight controls and other measures that tend to combat inflation. The ('.ritics On The Job When a workable OPS was asked for in Congress, it encountered strong-opposition. It was battered and torn and what finally came out of the grinder could hardly be rer cognized as an OPS. Those who fought the OPS then are still fighting it now. They helped see that smooth operation would be impossible, and now they are criticising it because it doesn’t work.
