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 V\ ashington County News in 1929, Friday. November 2, 1934 Subscription Rates In Washington, Martin, and Tyrrell Counties On. year . six months .-. -.-.----^ Outside of Above Counties O'1* $i'°o Six months ----- (Strictly Cash in Advance) Advertising Rates Furnished Upon Request Entered as second-class matter at' the post office in Plymouth, N. C., under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879._ The Bonus To the Front Again The bonus is to the front again. The demand for its imediate payment shows that man is ever mindful of the things that affect him. Of course, there are just two clases of people in the country who will be affected by the bonus. One class will get the mone\. and the other class will give the money. The question naturally narrows down to the point whether it is more important to preserve the lives of the helpless, homeless and starving millions or to pay the legionnaires, most of whom are big stalwart fel lows, a bonus. Those who are weak and wounded are already be ing cared for in most instances already. The pension system is one of the things that popularizes war, and makes men brave. It will be better for most soldiers who hold bonus certificates to wait and let them mature at a date w'hen they are older and will doubtless need assistance more than they do now. And what we need now is plenty of congresmen who will not fall for votes. To Consolidate or Not To Consolidate The Xeu>s and Observer gave the honored John j Sprunt Hill a pretty good dose of sarcasm in asrecent editorial. It seems that the honorable Mr. Hill had found some "secret enemies” of the University who , were trying to remove the engineering department ot ! the Greater University to Raleigh. Of course it has been, is now and ever will he the sensible thing to center all of the higher clases in engineering of the University at Raleigh. I hat was why the consolidation program was effected, and thereby make possible savings and raise the efficiency of the University. Mr. Hill's assertion that secret enemies of the University is too far fetched and needs the sarcastic basking given by the Raleigh editor. Early Marriages i Out of a class of 22 seniors in the Eureka High i School, 15 have been married since the school opened. Of course, all members of the class were very young and will generally be regarded as entirely too young i to face the responsibilities of married life. From 16 years to what we usually regard a proper marriage able age is a sufficient period for the marriage barque to strike many a rocky reef. On the other hand, from IS years to 25 years is a long period for youth to ! browse in the modern channels of society. And, after all, those who marry early are not necessarily doomed to final destruction and in many ways beat the wise old guys who go out to master the ways of the world unfettered by any tangible ties. A Message That Should Be Heeded The Bishop's closing message at the recent Episco pal church meeting at Atlantic City was rather point ed, but in every way important. He appealed to youth to check "the evil and lustful ways of a wicked and adulterous generation.” The bishop's words are well worth heeding and will have to be heeded before | humanity is safe. We are all, young and old, failing to see and ob serve the danger points in our human society. Heed the words of the bishop and avoid the shame I and the heartaches and disappointments that we will i have to face if we continue on our present course.

J. KELLUM Admission 25c Reserved Seats 35c To Voters of W ashington County Do Not Let the Democratic Bosses and Office Seekers Deceive You In This Campaign. The Administration in power has abandoned every principle for which the Democratic party has stood in the past, that party has always championed the right of local self government and in dividual liberty. It has consistently opposed centralization of power in Federal Government. The administration elected by that party has sought to foist upon the American people a system of government diametrically opposed to these elementary prin ciples. Not only is this true but the platform of the Democratic party which the Administration was elected was represented as a covenent with the people to be given the sancity of a contract. The citizens who put them in power expected the promises of this platform to be fulfilled. Now we find that not only have they not been fulfilled, but have been positively violated in every material respect. Let us consider a few1 illustrations. The platform called for an immediate and drastic reduction of Government expendi tures by abolishing useless commissions and offices, consolidating departments and bureaus, eliminating extravagances and accom plishing a saving of not less than 25 percent in the cost of the Federal Government. What was done with this promise? Instead of consolidation and elimination, an elaborate and unparalleled set of bureaus, commissions and offices have been established in connection with the Federal Government. Eighty nine thousand more Federal employees were added to the pay rolls. As of July 1, this year, the receipts of the Federal Govern ment per minute is $5,900.00 to expenditures per minute of $13, 500.00, or an excess of expenditures over receipts amounting to $7,600.00 each minute of the day. From June 30 until Septem ber 20 of this year Federal expenditures exceeded receipts by the sum of $471,000,000. The State of N. C. collects from motor license plates approxi mately $3,000,000 per year. The so-called sales tax brings in ap proximately six million dollars per year, and driving fifty million dollars worth of business from the State. The State collected last year twenty-four million dollars for the general fund, which is more than they collected for all purposes in the boom years 1928 1929. What are they doing with our money? Washington County debt as reported by State tax commis sion June 1934: County debt $728,500.00 Defaulted payments 45,685.00 Defaulted interest .‘. 86,163.65 With such an amount in default principal and interest, and the county relieved altogether of the maintenance of schools and roads, it would seem to us that we do not need any tax rate at all. especially when nothing is being paid on the county’s debts. Do not forget the fact that our homes are responsible for its propor tionate part of N. C. $200,000,000 debts as well as the county’s debts. Two years ago we heard a lot about the new deal and the forgotten man. Since we have had a close up view, the forgotten man seems to be the farmer. He is told what he can plant and what he cannot plant. And after he carries out the orders and raises his crops by the sweat of his brow, the new deal comes along and takes away his crops, making him a subject, his liberty has been taken away, and he is no longer a citizen. He is now on the same equality as the European Peasants and the Chinese Coolies. If you doubt this statement ask some farmer who grows cotton. The laws of N. C. require the board of County Commission ers to publish once each year an itemized financial report of the affairs of the county in the local newspaper. This they have re fused to do. Under the law, any citizen of the county can bring suit and collect $100.00 from said board. If you will elect the Republican candidates we will see that you get a true and complete financial re port of Washington County. And if the Republican office holders do any worse than the Democrats have done, we will be the first ones to denounce them and work for their defeat next time. So let’s vote a Republican ticket. There is nothing to lose but everything to gain. Yours very sincerely, Republican Headquarters ROPER, N. C. The
