I THE ROANOKE BEACON And Washington County News Published Every Friday in Plymouth, Washington County, North Carolina WALTER H. PARAMORE Managing Editor The Roanoke Beacon was established in 1889 and consolidated with the Washington County News in 1929. Subscription Rates In Washington.

Six months 1 (Strictly Cash in Advance-) Advertising Rates Furnished Upon Request Entered as second-class matter at the post office in Plymouth, N. L., under the act of Congress oi March 3, 1879,__ Friday, October 6. 1933 Hard To Understand 8 8 The United States has outstanding at this time three time as many dollars' worth of bonds as there is in all kinds of United States money in circulation. The question is: How is it done? The government will soon issue three and one-half billions in bonds to finance certain relief and recov ery propositions. Who will buy these bonds? Of course, it will not be the farmer, nor the laborer, but the banker: and how and where will he get the money to pay for these bonds, since he already has bought three times as many bonds as there is cash in existence? Is it a fact that when folks buy bonds from the government that our government turns around and gives them their money back? Something like that must be happening, since the same folks have both the money and the bonds. It is just too hard for little folks to understand. However, there is one thing the little folks do un derstand about all this bond business: that is, they have to pay the interest. We pay it when we eat, when we sleep, when we walk, when we run, when we work, when we play and when we talk, sing, and whistle. There is an interest charge on everything that exists, and we don't know yet who buys the bonds nor how they pay for them, when there are already three times as many bonds as there is money. Little Voice in Spending Many people are advocating letting the state boss the schouls because the state pays the bill. Now, since when did the state get above the people who make up the state? It seems to us that the state is doing two things: First, taxing all the people who buy shirts and breedhes, shoes and hats, by a sales tax; and then taking the money and investing it in whatever a whip-lashed legislature has provided shall be done with it. It is a mistake for the people to get the idea that the state is doing anything extra for them, when all it is doing is getting funds from the people and spending it as seems wise to it. Of course, they may be spending every cent wisely and honestly. Do not forget, however, that the folks who get scarcely enough to eat and wear are paying the bills and are having "very little voice in how it is to be spent. More Getting Out Than Going In We are making some progress in suppressing high crime in the country. We captured one desperado, the Gunman Kelley, in Memphis this week. This was only a few hours, however, from the time that 11 desperadoes were capturing guards, warden, and sheriff in the Indiana State Penitentiary at the point of pistols, and after swinging prison gates open they proceeded to tlee the country. According to the subtraction table, 1 from 11 will leave 10, so we have 10 more coming out than we have going in. So the racketeering is not entirely stopped yet. Of course, the liquor folks say the eighteenth amend ment is the cause of all lawlessness, a tale with so little truth in it that decent people should shun the thought of so base a falsehood. Of course, the reference to escaping prisoners above referred to were outsiders; yet while this was happen ing in other states, they were getting out by thir teens and elevens from our own state prisons. It seems that criminals are getting out of prison faster than we can put them in. Guaranteeing Bank Deposits It seems to be a foregone conclusion that bank de posits are going to be guaranteed by governmental authority. It is generally conceded that such guar antees will bring much hidden money out for use in business channels. It will also enforce better methods in banking. We have already gone too long with banks afraid to make loans on any kind of security. The Govern ment needs to force banks to make loans on good security—and then when a run occurs, let the Gov ernment take over the security, furnish cash to pay checks, and hold the security until it can be collected in an orderly way. In such cases the government would not permit the deflation of securities, which was the direct cause of 99 per cent of the bank failures in this country in ihe past few years. Our government’s business is to prevent inflation and deflation. Time for Cooperation Now is the time for every farmer to join in cooo eration with his neighbor farmers on all crops. The government is prepared and willing at all times to assist the farmer in producing and marketing his ; crops, and it can help him much better in cooperative groups than it can single-handed. The gorvenment knows better about crops on hand, a- well as probable production and prospective needs, ! than any single farmer can hope to. We have seen the need of getting together and we are going to con tinue to see such need. i Every bale of cotton should be handled coopera- | tively. It will kill the speculator and gambler and leave the profits they have been making in the hands of the farmer, where it rightly belongs. As it has been in the past, the cotton farmer has been plow ing, planting, and sweating in the field all the year, ad two speculators have been sitting on the fence in the shade, and just as soon as the farmer carried his product to market, the speculators divided with him, giving the farmer a third and they each taking a third. Of course, the farmer has had a hard time: he has had to feed too many folks to prosper himself. Prices A good many people are complaining about the high cost of living. Still, officials of the New Deal say that prices on the products of industry are not advancing as fast as they should. Those back of the recovery plan assert the belief that when prices ad vance at a faster rate than the increased purchasing power of the farmer will result in the buying of more industrial products, thereby increasing employment at a faster rate among all industries and trade in gen eral. There are a good many classes of business that have made unwarranted cost increases—but they are not representative of business as a whole, since a gradual rise in prices of all commodities has not tak en place. Most of the heavy advances have been made by business men who have been trying to take advantage of new opportunities to reap more profits. Use Nothing But Facts There are two good reasons why tobacco reports as to both prices and pounds should be correct: First, it is wrong to lie. Second, if prices are as high as some statements indicate, why are farmers kicking so much? The government will help us according to our needs, and the public will sympathize with us in pro portion to our suffering. Let us use nothing but facts and not overstate any- j thing, especially in boosting pounds and prices. Save Your Own Seed Seed is high if a farmer has to buy it; and in most cases he can save just as good seed from his own fields as he can buy. A little time spent in the growing and saving seed pays a farmer as good profits as any work he does throughout the year. This same rule applies to the garden, where a few hours spent in saving seed, from the best beans, tomatoes, beets, cabbages, and omer vegetables will insure just as good results next sea son as any that can be bought. Almost all seed sold by seedhouses are field-run crops produced by good farmers. We know one North Carolina farmer who sells all his corn for seed at just a few cents per bushel above the market, but there is no field selection whatever for most seed; the small stalks and the little ears all go in. The same thing applies to garden seed. The seed are seldom selected from the strongest plants and the largest pods. Farmers and gardeners should select their own seed for best results. Mechanizing Agriculture Those poor benighted Russians have struck the poor white folks and negroes of the American southland a heavy blow. A country that grows little or no cotton has produced a cotton picker that picks rapidly and goes so far toward perfection that it grades the cot ton as it picks it. This machine was designed by the Ukranian Scientific Research Institute for the Mechanization of Agriculture. This means that the master farmers and big land owners will soon be picking their cotton with ma chinery, and the poor whites and negroes will be kick ed over the fence to starve in the road. When Russian agriculture is all done by machinery, it will be a hard time for the peasants. No country should give more attention to her machines than it does to its people. A few folks can live in splendor by machine work, but the thousands will suffer in proportion to the gains made by the machine owner. We need no longer to criticize Russia for her ignor ance, because she is beating us in many ways. Two Major Scandals Two major scandals are now being hinted at in high places in politics. C. Bascom Slemp, who was at one time secretary and adviser to the late Presi dent Calvin Coolidge; and James E. Ferguson, the ill-famed Texas governor and wife-delegated gover nor at this time are the men concerned. In both cases it seems that the accused hired them selves out to dishonest men to allow them to get their hands on public funds. Gabriel must have some mighty dirty stuff written i in the book of life, and what howling and shrieking there is going to be in the judgment, when all the big politicians stand before the throne.
