C., under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Friday, April 1. ll)3R Changes Needed in Federal Bookkeeping David Cushman Coyle, construc tion engineer and author of five books on business and finance, as well as winner of Harpers Magazine “The American Way” essay contest, writ ing in the April issue of that maga zine, presents a common-sense article on the need for changing Federal methods of bookkeeping. Prefacing his argument on some statements made by Winthrop W. Aldrich, chairman of the board of the Chase National Bank, to a Senate committe, Coyle says the striking conclusion is that no one knows whe ther the budget is balanced or not, and continues “If we are going to try tc find a sensible answer to pub lic financial questions it seems evi dent that a good way to begin would be to strike a balance and see how we stand.” His contention is that the Federal budget does not show a clear dis tinction between investment and spending. While the government gives a list in its budget report, in its ge neral treatment of the budget it lumps the investments with other ex penses and then tries to balance the whole sum by the revenue of each year. An example is cited: “A corporation may have an income of two million dollars and expenses of one and a half mil lion. Its budget is not only bal anced: There is half million pro fit: the stockholders are well satisfied that the company is in the black. But suppose that dur ing the year the company has is sued five million dollars' worth of bonds and has built a new plant worth five million dollars. its aeot nas increased. it is, therefore, in the red? On the contrary, the stockholders note with satisfaction that the com pany is bigger and presumably richer than before. "But not what happens when the Federal government plants trees on its own land. ... In 1936 the government planted 215,000,000 trees in the national forest, at a cost of $1,828,000. To pay for this work, the govern ment has issued bonds and has increased the national debt. It reported this expenditure, add ed with the rest to give it an un balanced budget. The fact that the government addrd nearly two million dollars’ worth of young trees to its assets is left out of account." Coyle goes on to point out that any corporation which will not make any capital investments except out of its current income is not only being extremely conservative but is also imposing on itself limitations that may easily become disastrous. The only trouble is that when the govern ment makes an investment everybody cails it “spending. In a revealing statement he says: “I am one of those who have called it spending and who have ■said that spending was what this country needed. The fact is still there, but the name was wrong. It is time to adopt a more accurate vocabulary. When the Federal government borrows a A Powerful Argument Against Present-Day If ars Anti-Militarists and peace-promo tion societies of various kinds have had regular field day of late preach ing against all kinds and all man ners of warfare throughout the world, but it has remained for the Trans-Pacific News Service, pro bably a disseminating agency for Chinese propaganda in the United States, to present the most effective argument we have ever seen along these lines. • This presentation is a small pamphlet, entitled "The Japenese Way.” composed entirely of pictures of the havoc wrought in stricken Shanghai by the Japanese invaders. Death and destruction are shown on every side, usually with a brief cap tion ironically paraphasing the Jap anese apopogies or explanation of the scene pictured. The frontspiece alone is one that will very effectively bring home to the reader the manner in which pre sent-day wars are conducted. It is the picture of a small Chinese boy. brobably two or three years old. ly ing on a stretcher; his face is streak ed with blood and dirt; his right hand is freshly bandaged, and the hands of a surgeon can be seen trim ming a bandage just placed on his arm; no anasthesia is being used, and the infant is apparently squalling at the top of his lungs. There are other pictures, many of them of children showing death in violent and ugly forms, but after see ing the one in front, there is a feel ing that those who are dead are the lucky ones. Let those who will talk of the glo ry to be found in war—certainly wars of the past had more to recom mend them than do those now be ing conducted—but if anyone can find any honor or glory in the killing and maiming of innocent children, then he is indeed a peculiar sort of person. Poverty and Our Birth Rate Smithfield Herald Several weeks ago a “Blessed event" was celebrated in a Johnston county family where already 6 children were facing starvation. Still more recently another home expecting a “blessed event” appealed to two or more sources for help, and in that home were already five or six children. Both of those families are chronic charity cases. The parents have shown themselves either unable or unwilling to put forth the effort ne cessary to feed and clothe their children. But the birth rate increas es. Dr. Rupert P. Vance professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina lays the poverty in the cot billion dollars and buys a billion dollars’ worth of valuable as sets it is no more unbalancing its budget than is a corporation that borrows a million dollars and uses the money to buy a million dollars’ worth of property. The bookkeeping methods of the Treasury should make this fact clear. Then we could begin to see what we are about. “ ... If a bookkeeping system, set up and checked by a well recognized firm of public accoun tants, should show the Federal government to be in the black, a large part of the fear that now oppresses the American people would disappear.” In conclusion, Coyle says that if the people understand the distinc tion between investment and spend ; ing, they can be shown that Federal | finances are in a sound condition and 1 that a bold policy of building up the material and human resources of the notion is not beyond our means. Lack of this understanding is the chief cause of our present confusion and widespread fear of the future, as well as "our costly delay in putting men to work.” I'Ve BEEN PLANTING TOBACCO FOR ^ 20 YEARS.

In this connection the Hamlet News-Mes senger publishes the following: Psalm, which will be particularly applicable for the next few months: The politician is my shep herd. I shall not want for any thing during this campaign. He leadeth me up to the soda foun tain for his vote's sake. He flll eth my pocket with cheap ci gars; my flask runneth over. He inquireth concerning my family even unto the fourth generation. Yea. though I walk through the mud and rain to vote for him, and shout myself hoarse when he is elected, straightway he forget teth me. Although I meet him at his own house he knoweth me not. Surely the wool has been pulled over my eyes all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of a chump forever.” Paste-Pot and Shears— Since we’ve started off with a clipping, we might as well give the shears and paste-pot a real workout this week. So here's a copy ot a self-explanatory letter that appeared in the “Dear Ed:” column of the Publisher's Auxiliary last week: Dear Sir: In reply to your request for membership dues. I wish to in form you that the present con dition of my bank account makes it almost impossible. My shatter ed condition is due to Federal Laws, State Laws. County Laws, City Laws, Corporation Laws, Mother-in-Laws. Sister-in-Laws. Brother-in-Laws and Outlaws. Through these laws I am com pelled to pay a business tax amusement tax, head tax, poll tax. school tax. gas tax. light tax, water tax. sales tax. carpet tax. income tax. food tax. furniture tax. and excise tax. Even my brains are taxed. 1 am required to get a business license, car li cense. truck license, hunting li cense. not to mention a marriage license and a dog license. I am also required to contri bute to every socety and organi zation which the genius of man is capable of bringing to life; to women's relief, the unemploy ed relief, and the gold digger's relief. Also to every hospital and charitable institution in the city, including the Red Cross, the Black Cross and the Purple Cross and the Double Cross. For my own safety I am re quired to carry life insurance, property insurance, liability in surance, business insurance, earthquake insurance, tornado, insurance, unemployed insurance, door of a rapidly increasing birth rate. 'With only 22 per cent of the nation's population in 1930, the ele ven states of the southeast were fur nishing almost 35 per cent of the na tion's population increase from 1930 to 1935,’' Dr. Vance said. Whether cotton tenancy or some thing else brought the Johnston county families mentioned to their present state of destitution, the facts of poverty and an increased birth rate remain. What a fate to be born into such an environment. What a farce to say all men are created free and equal. Education is the key to the situation, but we need some adult education along with that the state hands out to the children. _ okl age insurance ,and fire insur ance.

Simply because I refuse to do nate to something or other, I am boycotted, talked about, lied about, held up and down, and robbed until I am almost ruined. I can tell you honestly that ex cept for the miracle that hap pened. I could not enclose this check. The wolf that comes to many doors nowadays just had pups in my kitchen. I sold them and here is the money.

He didn't have time to explain that he meant to say "another food sale" when a delegation from the society called on him just before he went to the hos pital. Woe Is Man— The following from “The Scrap Book," just about sizes up the whole situation: . Man is of few days and full of trouble.

He planteth grain in the earth and tilleth it diligently, he and his servants and his asses, and when the harvest is gathered into the barns he oweth the landlord eight dollars and forty cents more than the crop is worth. He borroweth money from the lenders to buy pork and syrup and gasoline and the interest eateth up all that he hath. He begets sons and educateth them to smoke cigarets and wear a white collar, and Lo! they have soft hands and neither labor in the fields nor anywhere under the sun. The children of his loins are ornery and one of them be cometh a lawyer and another sticketh up a filling station and maketh whoopee with the sub stance thereof. The wife of his bosom fiirteth with a stranger and when he re bukes her, Lo! she shooteth him in the finale. He goeth forth in the morn ing on the road that leadeth to the city and a jitney smiteth him so that his ribs project through his epidermis.
