THE ROANOKE BEACOI^ And Washington County News Pubtesbed BhMlyr Fnd«t irvB’kytnbnth, Washington County, North Caroline) WALTER H.

C., under the act of Congress ot 3- l879-. _ aH 3; Friday, January 21, 1933 After Mellon and Mills—Glass? . ■ We have been unfortunate in having two secre cies of the treasury in the persons of Andrew Mellon a,nd Ogden Mills, because they were money dictators themselves and simply whipped the government in line and drove the spurs to it in wild west cowboy style. We could not help ourselves, because it was a Republican administration. Now, it seems that the Hon. Carter Glass, of Vir ginia, may succeed to that job, and, honestly, his banking ideas do not suit us. His little shabby bill now in Congress would not even create a shadow of hope to the financial sufferers of the country. What we want is some money the big bankers do not boss, and a little money besides the dole sums procured by selling new tax-exempt government bonds to interest barons, for the purpose of doling it out to keep us from starving to death. Mr. Glass's Federal Reserve has not saved us, and it has been dominated by the money powers, while the public is forced to pay high rates of interest. Mr. Glass thinks too much of sound dollars, while the country is crying for any kind. Lengthening the School Term Yes; increase the school term and enforce econ omy. We need not grow more cotton, peanuts, tobacco, potatoes, nor hogs, so why work the children too long in order to produce more? What our young generation needs is less pomp and pride, more plain clothes and plain food and hard work at both home and school until they realize that life is not one gorgeous flood of foolishness and work dodging good times. Of course, we need a lot of changes in our school system in order to get more work and less pay, but we certainly should not cut the length of the term. Law Enforcement Day 1 January 27th has been set aside as "Law Enforce ment Day.” We are wondering how things would look on the morning of the 28th if God should enforce the pen I alties in the same manner as he did to Mrs. Lot for her pride and haughtiness. We imagine that this world would be dotted with millions of statues of ; salt, worthless salt; good for nothing except to re ; mind man that he is liable to a higher power for his blessings and his sorrows, according to his own deeds. If such a scene should be enacted, then think of the murderers, the robbers, the home wreckers, the character destroyers, the bootleggers, the drunkards, the liars, the thieves, the extorters, the deceivers, the gamblers, the short-weighers, the proud, the haughty, the disobedient—would there not be a great display of wasted opportunities and transgressions of law? Of course, our day of law enforcement will not turn sinners into salt; yet it is hoped, and the purpose of the day is to induce our people to teach children the ; serious danger of law violations—which usually begin at home in acts of disobedience. Then it goes out to the school, enters then the playgrounds, finally goes around the dark corner, and then along the highways, developing full-fledged bank robbers, murderers, and on up* the line of crime and destruction. The first violation of law, even though it be a petty offense, may be the stepping stone to the greatest crime. Every father, every mother, every teacher should be careful to hold youth in subjection, not permit too much friendly association, which is so often such a great source of sorrow. Keep children home or at school. Keep them busy at some useful task due the home or due themselves. Read the law of decency and safety to them daily. Just as in Israel of old, print these laws on their foreheads, print them in their hearts. Above all, let every man switch from the law-breaking element to the law enforcement side of society, and we will soon recover from this state of moral bankruptcy which seems to be upon us. Don’t forget to enlist in the law enforcement army for a charge on all fronts on January 27th. Revaluation and Publicity News and Observer. There has developed some opposition to the revalu ation of property promised by both party platforms and candidates. There is fear that property would be valued so low in these times of depression that the tax rate would mount very high, or there would not be enough revenue to carry on city and county govern ments. T >l iriigii'.sf i°n ha.5 been ma.ee that instead of the , costly method of revaluation that a horizontal reduc- j tion be substituted. The Winston-Salem Journal says: “The State needs equalization of assessments equally as much as it needs revaluation of property, and that paper adds. “Nothing would aid the State in its efforts to equalize tax assessments so much as full publicity of all assess ments.” It should add: “And full publicity of in comes and the tax on the earnings of foreign stocks.” It would greatly increase the income.__ Pay Taxes Now!
