I THE ROANOKE BEACON And Washington County News Published Every Friday in Plymouth. Washington Countv North Cpt :>.m ;! WALTER H. PARAMO RE Managing Editor | The Roanoke Beacon was established in 1889 I and consolidated with the Washington County j News in 1929. Subscription Rates In Washington, Martin, and Tyrrell Counties One year $1.50 six months - ** Outside of Above Counties One year $2.00 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. Friday, November 16, 1934 Keep Accurate Records Farmers and ranchmen of the United States will be required early next year to give a complete record of their operations during the present year. Each farm operator, whether he be owner or tenant, will be asked 100 questions, which embrace number of acres and production of all kinds of crops, value, etc., fertilizer? used, sale and food and feed values of crops, also in come from orchards, vineyards, gardens, records of all stock, paultry and the income from them. Every farmer in the country needs to Keep a rec ord of everything that he produces, from a bale of cot ton to an egg. Don't wait and guess, but keep a record. It is the government's business to help every farm er and it is your best partner. It has rescued you from the grasping gamblers and wants to continue its serv ice. Therefore, the government is entitled to know what the folks have and what they may need. Some may take the position that it is nobody’s business, which is a serious mistake, because this informa tion is intended only to help the producer, and not for tax purposes or for speculation. Farmers, get your books and count the eggs you eat, those you sell, and the price received; count the chickens hatched, eaten, and sold; the hogs raised, sold and slaughtered for home use, as well as the price received for that sold; and so on down the whole line, in order that both you and your government will bet ter understand how to plan and operate your business. Write the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, Washington. D. C., for schedules and oth er information. It will be a wonderful help to you. Planning for Another Yea What will be the fundamental.- upon loch the iarming. laboring, and business people base their plans for the coming year? Will our desire for money and more money cause us to forget that there are val ues greater than gold and silver? N’ever was there a time when we needed to look well to the future and follow a course that is sensible and safe, than now. If we sell tobacco too high and get too much money, it will ruin us or our children. We need to work for a living; if we work for money, we will lose it; if we work for a living, we will always have something and certainly be happier. Thanksgiving is so near, and we have had so many things to be thankful for that we should start now to express our thanks. We need to begin planning for another year, and planning on a basis of first feeding and clothing, edu cating. and making a little money “on the side." This section bankru ted itself once by trying to make more money. Let's not do it again. Indigestion in the Literary Digest The Literary Digest must have gotten hold of the wrong gang to do its voting this time. In fact, it ha appeared for some time that the Digest has had in digestion. It was evidently caused by that magazine refusing to eat the good, pure, wholesome food of democracy embraced in the New Deal. Now they find that that old falsehood handed to them by the Morgan Mellon-Mills gangsters is loaded with selfishness, graft and grab, and the Digest has found a public that has changed its taste and is no longer willing to be gov erned by a government ruled by a gang that only hands it a few scraps. So, Digest, if you are really going to digest, you will have to get at the same table with the Great American public, which not only be lieves in but cherishes democracy, the kind that has saved them from rags and hunger. Prosperity Xews and Observer. A great many people have talked much about pros perity “coming back.” Almost all Americans have talked of reco\ery in terms of the good returning. There ought to be, however, some questioning as to how good even that prosperity was to the majority of Americans. If the facts presented in The Index, published by the New York Trust Company, are cor rect, those good old days were a long way from per fection. Thus, on the basis of the best figures avail able, it is shown that in opulent 1929: Nearly 6,000,000 families, or more than 21 percent of the total, had incomes of les sthan $1,000 a year. About 12,000,000 families, or more than 42 percent, had incomes of less than $1,500 a year. Nearly 20,000.000 families, or 71 percent, had in comes of less than $2,500 a year. In such a way we were rich and prosperous. Benefits of Cooperation Proven The farmer's attitude and action in connection with signing for a continuance of the tobacco control pro *—- p jrtnt'or wore ’inonrtant to the farmer than ■ . r. hoc:' e ven ■ . . .1. ■ occasional ly someone i- found opposing the plan under which we have operated this year especially so in the cotton and tobacco codes. So far every farmer who has op posed the program has done so upon the grounds that he did not get quite as much allowance in acreage or poundage a- he wished. However, less than one per cent of the farmers who have had their acreage and poundage reduced a third have not received more for their crop this year than they received last year. In most cases each farmer has received more than twice as much for the reduced crop this year as he averaged for his 1032 and 1933 crops. When we look at the question from all sides and consider how much more good than there is bad in these farm agreements we can see no reason why any farmer should hesitate for a single moment to sign freely. Cooperation has worked well and the day will never come but what it will continue to work well for the farmers. Helping the Blind of the State Blindness is an affliction and a handicap that pro duces the sympathy of every human heart. In some of the leading centers of the state, namely in Statesville and Mecklenburg County, associations for the blind have been formed. The general purpose of these associations is to prevent blindness, especially in children of pre-school age, and to better conditions of those who are blind by helping them to find some vocation by which they may be ahle to earn for them selves. A bill will be presented in the coming General As sembly for the creation of a state commission for the blind. It should pass, and more effort should be put forth to prevent blindness and to help those who are blind. Charity is God’s greatest law. and men should pre serve it. even if it does take some tax money. Worshiping Gold The gold standard issue is soon to come before the United States Supreme court. The principle of the gold standard is to make all government obligations payable on a gold-dollar basis. The holders of bonds and other government obliga tions are trying to upset the Roosevelt plan so that the price of the dollar, which is owned by wealth, will rise, while the price of wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco, peanuts, and labor, which are owned by the farmer and the poor man will go down. The rich are shouting the need of ‘‘sound'' money and frightening the ignorant and unthinking people. The publ’c seems to think there is a gold dollar back • • ' v. has 1 "-11, utterly Uisina I . begin with, we have more than a- .aid a half times as many out stand ng government bund.- a= we have gold. Tiiere fore, on the argument which wealth would present, less than one-sixth of our bonds are good. The fact is, it will take all the known gold in the world to pay even two-thirds of the outstanding bonds of the United Stales. The bidders and buyers of United States bonds all know there is not enough gold to pay for their bonds. They bought them with that knowdedge. and they should suffer the consequences. The government should make no effort to redeem her bonds in gold but should force the bondholders to take such curerncv as fairly measures the land, the products, the natural resources and such other values as constitute the true wealth of the country and the people. There is very little true value in gold, but there is great value in the things that sustain life and the things that sustain the race— yet every value we have in the United States is pros tituted and forced to bow to worthless gold and to its ruthless hoarders. The cruel power of gold has been the deliberate cause of at least five great major panics since the Civil War in tiiis country, and as long as it is the sole and only rule by which we are to measure values we may expect the things of real value to be kicked around and plundered by those who own the gold. W e hope to see the Supreme Court sustain the prin ciple that a bondholder has no more sacred rights than any other class of citizens, and that the government had no right to promise payment of bonds in gold, when, as a matter of fact, the world could not supply it. And, further, that such a contract to pay in gold was fraudulent in that every buyet knew the gold did not exist at the time the contract vas made, and that it would not exist during the life of the contract; that the purpose of the bond-buying bankers in ac cepting gold bonds was to embarrass the government and extort large amounts of interest through the fav ors of some very friendly secretaries of the treasury, who have so often been absolutely dominated and con trolled by the bankers' trust within the recent past. G Id should not be worshiped. May Get More For Waiting How about the peanut market? Is it wise for everybody to sell now ■ If all the farmers rush their crops to the market, as they now seem to want to do, it will certainly force the markets to close, because the factories cannot weigh and store them fast enough. Some farmers seem to think the standard price fixed by the government means that it will stand for a year, but no so; it is simply a minimum, and the price may go up to a much higher standard. It is never wise to force any great crop that it takes .; jear to grow and a year to use. on the market in a very short period of time. And, remember, you may get more if you wait.
