Need Willingness To Work
It would seem that our unwillingness to face hard
ships and disappointments is probably out greatest
weakness. When we consider those who gave us our
freedom and blazed out the way for us to enjoy and
use this great country, we forget that it took an enor
mous amount of diligent labor—without the help of
machinery—to cope with the tasks of making a na
tion and establishing a civilization fit for man's habi
tation.
Xow we look at things in a different manner. When
ever we want any improvements, vv^test our credit
and borrow the money. Then we hire an engineer
or an architect to tell us how and what to do. We
advertise the job for letting. Half a dozen or more
will come forward with figures taking care of high
priced machinery and lazy labor, and we finally let
the contract. The contractor hires enough labor to
run the machinery and does not need the bulk of labor
that expected to get jobs. When the job is finished,
we not only have the improvement, whether it be
roads or a building, but we also have the debt.
If we were as willing to work as our fathers were,
we would undoubtedly owe much less and we might
have as many conveniences as we really need.
If we continue to press our wants much further,
we may eventually capsize our whole structure. What
we really need is a greater willingness to work.
“—Where the Money Is”
Lots of people seem to be shedding tears because
corporations have to pay taxes; many of them, of
course, doing it for political purposes, while some of
the others are doing it because they do not know
the facts.
Of course, everybody knows that corporations are
formed primarily to protect capital and avoid obliga
tions, because they can be neither kicked nor slapped.
When we read the late reports issued by the Na
tional City Bank of New York, one of the greatest
financial institutions in the world, in which it is stat
ed that 2,000 American corporations jumped their
earnings 42 per cent in 1935, we confess that we are
not moved to tears for them. In fact we are not
moved to tears for anybody who makes gains of 42
per cent in a single year. No merchant, farmer, law
yef or any other individual has done it, and we insist
that when any business makes a gain of 42 per cent
it is time to put a bit of tax on it.
We need a higher rate of income tax on both indi
vidual and corporate incomes. The man who makes
the money is the man who can and who ought to pay
taxes, without trying to murmur and complain.
Not So Different Today
Morganton News-Herald
Among the Indians he was held in highest esteem
who could bring in the most scalps or the most game.
Things aren't so greatly different today. In most
communities he is held in highest esteem who can
bring in the most dollars, the biggest house, the best
car, or who can provide the most clothes and jewelry.
The Indian was merely a trifle more frank and ele
mentary in his expression.

Primary Campaign, 1936
To the Voters of Washington County:
As you know, I am a candidate for Judge of the
Recorder's Court, and making a vigorous campaign for
the nomination.
I believe that all good people of Washington
County are interested in a criminal court of the high
est standing, one in which it is felt that every de
fendant will receive a fair and impartial trial, and at
the same time property and person are protected by im
posing such punishment as will insure confidence and
respect for the court.
I bring to your attention the record made by
this Court when I was Recorder, I endeavored to con
duct the trial of cases on a very high plane, and I be
lieve I was enabled to do so on account of my training
and experience. We had a self-supporting Court that
inspired confidence and respect, and when fines and
costs were imposed they were collected, and, if not, a
prison term was imposed in lieu thereof.
It is my purpose to revive this Court, if
nominated and elected, and when fines and costs are im
posed, they will be collected. A self-supporting
Recorder's Court means more relief to the taxpayers.
Assuring you of my appreciation of your con
fidence and support, I am
Yours sincerely,
