Friday, April 22, 1932 Speculation Should Be Abolished Mr. Whitney, the president of the Stock Exchange, who has been before the Senate Committee this week, says this country was built on speculation. Of course, everybody knows that is not true. But everybody who knows the facts knows that it is about to be de stroyed by speculation. The kind of speculation that Mr. Whitney is talk ing about and doing should be banished from the face of the earth. The Mighty Fall Samuel Insull, the great financial land political manipulator, seems to have died in his own filth, and is now forced to operate under court orders. His policy in former days apparently was to crush com petition and own legislatures. Now the handwriting on the wall has appeared, and his two and a half bil lion dollar monopoly has crashed. This idea that some men have of trying to swal low the earth generally meets with disappointment and disaster sooner or later. W hope the small innocent stockholders who have put a few hard-earned dollars into the trust on some body eise’s recommendation will be taken car of. The history of big concerns generally has been to squeeze through receivership to lose the little stock holders. The Fun Begins The fun has commenced. That is, the street cor ners, back alleys, and broadways are now ringing and reverberating with baseball chat. Lots of folks who do not know much of anything else are giving the scientific explanation of baseball. They are telling about all kinds of curves and how to swing bats and the name of every player. Some of them can actually tell the name of every player and his batting aver age for the past 17 years. It is certainly a fine thing for those who have nothing else to think about or talk about to just lounge around a whole summer and talk about baseball, and especially if they happen to win a nickel bet on some batter or some particular league. Yes; the fun is on; they are already talking and gambling about the winner. A Sad Scene One of the sad scenes of the week is the trial of a young lady of good position and her father, a judge of the state courts, going on trial in the criminal courts —the daughter charged with embezzling a consider able sum of money from the State, the father charged with hiding the crime by altering and destroying rec ords. We seem to be passing through a cycle of life when people disregard honesty and truth. The urge for wealth, ease, and society was so strong with this young lady that she rushed across all lines of restraint and reason, and, according to her plea, took money that was not her own. The judge was under the pressure of grief when he committed his crime, by his own admission. But he made a mistake in trying to hide a crime. Doubt less he made his greatest mistake years ago when he failed to teach his daughter “thou shalt not steal.” Too many homes are stressing the pleasant side of life and leaving off the important matters of teaching honesty, truth, industry, humbleness to their children. The daughter is accused of stealing, the father—a judge—of lying and making records lie. The Bonus Bill The bonus bill is about to cause a bust in the ranks of its advocates. The leaders are against it gener ally, while the rank and file are for it. If the Government can pay off with a special is sue of new money, it will be a fine thing to pay off. On the other hand, if the government has to go out and borrow money from sharks that already are sap ping us to death with interest, then it will be very unwise and should not be done. Smith’s Ingratitude The Democratic party cut its own throat when it nominated A1 Smith for the presidency in 1928, and it now looks like A1 wants to cut the party’s throat in the coming campaign. A spirit of deep ingratitude. Can it be that Raskob, the Radical, is still trying to boss the Democratic party? A Dangerous Precedent The Town Council of Edenton has built a trust within the gates of their city, and if accidents happen in July and August, they may be without ice. They have penalized all retail and wholesale ice dealers by a $500 tax if they sell ice manufactured outside of the city. That constitutes, of course, a monopoly which works to the advantage of their local plant. Of course, if the city owns the plant, there is some excuse for such a tax. If not, then they are building a dangerous trust and one that may not stand in the courts. A Valuable Factory Whoever owns a cow owns one of the most eco nomical manufacturing plants known to either science or industry. And the beauty about this manufactur ing plant is that any farmer can own one, as well as grow the raw materials it uses. The farmer who does not have a good cow is as badly off as the farmer who has to go to the store to buy his axehandles and sin gletrees.—Upton G. Wilson, Winston-Salem Journal North Carolina Still Dry Beau jort News. The wet and dry vote which the Literary Digest is taking is still going on and so far the wet side is very much in the lead. In North Carolina the two sides are about even, but in most of the other states, ex cept Kansas, the anti-prohibitionists are considerably ahead. We believe that there has been some increase in the sentiment against prohibition, but in so far as North Carolina is concerned, a real election would show the state in the prohibition column. Platitudes That Need Emphasizing Hertford County Herald In good times and bad it is the local newspaper that usually carries on an endless series of writings appealing to more home pride and cries out against the practice of spending away from home and com munities to the detriment of the local town or com munity. Underlying this service to its circulation area is the knowledge that the newspaper itself can live and prosper only to the degree that the section prospers and grows; and because the local newspaper and printing house is as distinctly local as a business can well be. Chief among the items of expense in the newspaper office is that of salaries, which in turn go into local channels for purchase of goods and the necssities of life. Supplies purchased from the outside are signifi cant as compared with the cash that goes into salaries and for service obtained locally and in its own im mediate territory. The local newspaper ought, there fore, to realize the full significance of what it means to look after the home ties first, and the continual hammering on the idea of town and community build ing is readily explained in the light of the newspaper s dependence upon such a policy being adhered to. The following is an example of what one newspaper savs about the matter: “Towns do not die, they commit suicide, said a newspaper recently. And it is true. If everybody who makes his money in this com munity would spend his money in this community, the home town would double in population in a few years, and everybody in and around it would be pros perous. Why are filling stations out of proportion to every other line of business in number? Because people buy almost all of their gas and oil at home. “It is really inexplainable why people will persist in spending money out of town needlessly, when the results of this practice are so costly. We know of one individual in the city nowT out of a job. This partic ular individual rarely spent a cent in Eaton Rapids, even when he could have saved money. Some two or three years ago this person was informed that if his practice of spending money out of the city con tinued, he would work himself out of a job entirely. And that is just what has happened. How can the business men, or any one else, hire employees if they have nothing for them to do, or any money to pay them? When you spend a dollar outside, you take it right out of the pockets of some local citizen. The first is on in all smaller cities. This does not only apply to Eaton Rapids. It is becoming a very serious question, and one that must be reckoned with in the near future. Just as mentioned above—the small city is not dying, it is committing suicide, inch by inch. Instead of casting this idea off like so many snow flakes, it is time, and right now w'hen every in dividual should give the matter serious thought. Oth erwise, there'll soon be more vacant stores in the city than we regret to report today .—Eaton Rapids (Minn.) Journal. President Hoover’s Blunder President Hoover committed a great blunder when he appointed Ogden Mills Secretary of the Treasury. He is no improvement over Secretary Mellon. In fact, both of them are alike. They both stand for the "Government for the rich” and are content when millions are starving. They have made so much money by tampering with the proper rights of the common people that they have lost sight of humanity and are interested only in the power of the dollar, which they worship. We need a man with a human soul in that high office and not a man who worships money. What is Mr. Mills thinking about except his money-lending friends who want to be sure of their interest? Yes; the president made a mistake and should be made to answer for it. Articles for Publication Must Have Signatures Items come into the Beacon office occasionally without a signature. It I is unethical and unwise to publish this matter. So please do not submit anything for publication without the name of the sender or author on the material. If the person who submitted for last week the article signed “A Constant Reader of the Roanoke Bea con,” would come into the office it would be a courtesy to the editor.
