Octohor 2. 1052 I ; ^W**S**> i Catliiif: I llarfwin A recent report on the operations of Wil liamston’s water department is revealing in that the per capita water consumption has j increased considerably. and that the little j outdoor houses are rapidly disappearing j iiuiti the scene. The progressive march has cost much, to 1 be sure, but the increased service has been provided at a real bargain. It is encourag ing to note that six thousand or more per sons are now enjoying the convenience of a modern water system, and that the sewer j lines are now in reach of almost everyone | home and business in the town. Now, there are those taxpayers who grum ble and complain, and it is possible that a few prefer the outdoor privy on a frosty morn or freezing night to the nominal costs of a modern waterworks system. As long as the service is made available at bargain rates, let it be hoped that the re actionaries will never be able to close up the bathroom and revive tin- old Chic Sales business in the out-of-doors. .S/mig/ifer/ng Eree Enler/trise Smithfield Herald. Three-fourths of the towns of the United States have only one bank, says a report submitted to a subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee The report comments on "undue concentration of financial pow er" in mentioning the decrease in banks from 30,000 in 1921 to about 15,000 last year. Followers of and sympathizers with the Taft variety of political campaign have been making much of the "creeping socialism" which they allege is creeping over the face of the land, and they have voiced a loud demand that free enterprise be rescued front hairy governmental hands. Yet here is evidence, added to that afford ed by common observation, that free enter prise. meaning unhampered competition, is being strangled in the house of some of its supposed friends. The play ol free competition is praised as being very healthy and beneficial and American, yet there have been recent in stances right here in North Carolina to show that banks and their supporters in certain communities do not hesitate to pull political wires to suppress and kill off the setting up of rival banks J he concealed slaughter ol free enter prise in banking has progressed to the point where the report in question declares that 100 of the largest banks in the country Con- i -’-Hr1-. :..•.■**** t1 a situation means that the people m many communities suiter from a lack of banking service, are hampered in normal economic development, and are restricted by an over tight economy. Governmental interference with legiti mate enterprise is annoying and deadening, but it at least operates in the open Free en terprise that is cut down m the dark must struggle to survive at all Every Little Hit llel/i* More than $300,000,000 has been spent in expanding medical school facilities since the last war. North Carolina in about three years’ time spent $200 million on roads. Several billion dollars have been spent on bomb projects, and tens of billions have been spent on the military in this country. All of that spending makes the $300 mil lion spent on medical schools look mighty small. But every little bit helps. Somewhere below the sea there is a solid bottom, but that is not much help to a fel low who falls overboard.—Exchange, in too much territory. Exchange Our I otr Before the recent primary a number of Blackfooters were known to tell friends that they would register, sure, so the registrar eon Id get the twenty five cent fee foi all new names, but: 'Tin not going In vote" J low incredible' How remarkable1 I low Sure, neighbor, put me down in your book. What can 1 lose? I'll have more im portant things to do on election day so don’t expert me to vote1 (»o a head and register me. i ** But that’s not very patriotic, Mister. Not very American. “How dare you imply that I’m not a good American? I'm as good as you and mebbe better I pay taxes, probably a lot more than you." Sure, you’re a good American to certain people. Sam Slick, who holds office let us say in the adjoining county, thinks you’re A-number-1. Why? Mebbe because Sam is dipping into the public till now and then, or planting his friends and relatives on the payroll, there to loaf on your time, or just letting the public business slide. Sam would mount the nearest soap box to tell every body you were a great American. Sam doesn’t want you to vote, he wants you and vour friends to stay home. He’s in, he’s over, he’s got it made! He doesn’t want the boat rocked, lest it dump him overboard where he belongs. He prays for a light registra 1 ion and a lighter vote. The clever minions of communism and thev are closer to Blackfoot, Idaho, than you think- don't want you to vote, either. They cringe at the sight of a free people marching to the polls to throw out the graft ers and the misfits and replacing them with honest-to-CIod Americans. The man who didn't vote last week be cause lie just couldn’t make it is a fool, en joying the fruits of a great nation and do ing nothing to preserve those fruits. Our friend Mark Farmer hands us this editorial from the American Federation of Labor Reporter on what ONE VOTE can do in the United States of America. It was taken from the Handbook for Americans. "What good will ONE VOTE do? "Well, ONE VOTE had a lot to do with a lot of things in this country! Thomas Jeffer son was elected President by ONE VOTE in the electoral college. So was John Quincy Adams. ".Rutherford B. Hayes was elected Presi dent bv ONE VOTE. His election was con tested, and it was referred to an electoral college. Again he won by ONE VOTE. "The man who cast that deciding vote for President Hayes was a Congressman j from Indiana, a lawyer who was elected to j Congress by a margin of just One Vote; and that ONE VOTE was cast by a client of his, who, though desperately ill, insisted upon being taken to the polls. By just ONE VOTE there came into the nation the states of California, Idaho, Ore gon, Texas and Washington. That's a big chunk of territory and, today, all the mil lions living m those states are Americans by just ONE VOTE.’’—Blacld’oot (Idaho) Daily Bulletin (,o Slow On tinny ('.rodil Hertford County Herald The continued reports, mostly through the Federal Reserve banks, that time-payment loans are growing at a fabulous rate, is dis quieting to anyone who lived through the 2(l's Then, as now, all kinds of things were being sold "on time,” with small or no down payments and most any kinds of terms on the balance. To our minds, that fact was in a large sense responsible for the fiasco of the Hoover administration. When the break came in October, 1929, every Hue of busi ness, as well as the manufacturers, was hard lot. The banks were hit the hardest of all wound up President Roosevelt ordered the closing of all banks. We do not face anything as drastic, in a financial way. as what took place in the late 20’s and the early ’iiO’s, as we have the banks better protected now than they were then. The lifting of credit controls brings some unsound proposals from the unscrupulous sellers of the things vital to our modern liv ing, whether on the farm or in town This matter of unrestrained credit is dangerous —more dangerous, perhajfS, for the buyer than for the seller. The farmer, businessman, or worker should see to it that his obligation do not grow beyond hs reasonable expectation for paying them. It is still good practice to be sure that you are going to be able to pay lor anything before you contract to buy it. The individual is the heart of the whole matter. Debts beyond a reasonable expec tation as to the ability to pay will be disas trous. Watch your debts, keep a few dollars in reserve, and you won’t get caught.
