THE STRENGTH OF THE SALES TAX PRICE $1.00 A YEAR KEEP LADDER HANDY OUR ROADS There has been much interest man ifested in the report of Mr. Capus Waynick, who was appointed by Gov ernor Ehringhaus to succeed Mr. Jeffress as chairman of th" State Highway anti fjuc ooikh Oommis- onrW,t,rMhtture appropri d3,'8ir for the upkeep of roads and forbade the use of any of the State Highway Fund for the construction of new roads. It was 'irt Vain that the Highway C&ra- i tnissiohers protested that the .fond Jor-iroBd; ! ? ehould millions, roads go. which if neglected and the roads al- J lowed to get in bad condition would cost much more. Everyone who j i ides over our roads may see for him self that the predictions of the High- j t way Commissioners have come true. 1 Many of our roads are full of holes j and must be driven on with gifat , Last year rural America paid a bout $1CO,000,000 for replacement and repair of buildings destroyed or damaged by fire. The season of fires is time to take precautions to prevent fire loss. Dr. D. J. Price, of the Department of Agriculture, believes that one of the greatest aids in preventing destructive fires on the farm and in small towns would be for each home owner to provide himself w'ith a good lad der and then keep it in a con venient place. Don't loan it or leave it at the bam after making repairs there because that might be just when you will need it. It is also suggested that it be used oc tfasionally. to inspect the .chimney.

A surprising strength of the sales tax is the weakness of the opposing arguments . . . meaning, that after twenty odd months of fulmination tne opposition has not -produced a practical, logical or credible reason for its abandonment. If any propo sition in North Carolina ever wo on its merit, it has been the sales tax, the subject of some of the most vi cious, misleading and unfair attacks ever launched against a measure in this State . . . and fortunately for the tax itself, attacks void of judg ment and reason. Piled up, packed in, boiled down and reduced to the commonest denominator all of the arguments against the sales tax a- mount to one theme ... "I don't like it." And SUCH an argument! Neither do I. like income tax, fran chise tax, license tax, gasoline tax; property tax ... in fact I don't like any kind of tax. Neither does a child like castor oil. And yet it is on such premises that the people of North Carolina have ibeen asked to judge the sales tax. As far back as January, 1933, we find anti-sales taxers appearing be fore the committees of the General Assembly with dire predictions of ca lamity if the sales tax were adopted; that it would not produce ANY reve nue; that it would literally throw thousands of merchants into bank ruptcy; and that within six months after its enactment there would be eighteen thousand vacant stores in North Carolina. The utter absurdi ty of these statements is obvious. The sales tax is producing 14 per cent of the State's income; find a sin gle merchant thrown into bankruptcy by any circumstances W. 0.

Lunsford said that Rector, who was driving, lost control of the car as it was rounding a curve on the highway and the au tomobile plunged off the road and down 'the embankment, traveling for nearly!' 400 feet before it stopped. The car turned over several times. Both .Itector and Lunsford were throw from the car at a point about 200 fe;et below the highway. Rector 1 was kijled when he was thrown from ! the cir.

Government scien tists have not yet been able to solve its mystery, but they do know that it is caused by feeding immature, moldy, wormy, stunt ed, or other inferior corn or corn fodder. Over 60 percent of the stricken animals die, and there is no known specific treat ment. The Pathfinder.

" i The only thing needed for cur ing meat with brine besides, of course, the ingredients of the brine is a hardwood keg or barrel, a hardwood cover that will fit inside of the barrel, and some hard-burned bricks for weights. It is highly important that nothing but hard wood be used because many soft woods will so change the flavor of the meat that it will become unus able. Enough biine for 100 pounds of meat is made by dissolving 10 pounds of salt, three -pounds of su gar, and two ounces of saltpeter in one gallop of boiling water. Al low this solution to cool end then, add four gallons . more IkP boffinfcr Be sure that all the pieces are completely covered with brine and then put the cover and weights in place. The meat should be remov ed and .oplnci'ii in the same brine twice once at the end of the sev enth day and aiiain at the end of the Hth day. Hams and shoulders should be cured three days for each pound and the hacon one day for each pound. The Pathfinder. The Twain Shall Meet One of the recommendations of Governor Ehringhaus to members ot- the General Assembly was ratifica tion of the Federal Child Labor A mendment. In. urging its ratifica tion., he said: ChiId labor has already been out lawed under the NRA codes. Tha elimination of this social evil may be assured on exactly equal terms in all the states by adoption of the propos ed Child Labor Amendment to tha Federal Constitution. Such legislift- lation is peculiarly of national scope and significance and I therefore rec ommend to you its adoption as in line with the progressive thought and trend of the times" Farmers have been told that this Amendment is aimed at the work that children do on the farm, that boys and girls under 18 years of age will not be allowed to wash dishes, milk cows or work in the fields. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Amendment would in no way affect the work children do for their parents. It would merely give Congress the right to regulate the "labor" of children, but the word la bor has been constiued by the course to mean labor for hire, or gainful employment. It has never been held to include work done around the home or farm. After all it is Congress who will determine the terms of any child la bor law that is passed. Members of Congress are elected by the people the same as State legislators, and it is inconceivable that Congress would pass laws that nobody wants. Each State has far more power than this amendment gives to Congress, but no State has ever trie,d to regulate the work children do-at home. , . ",Som$ yaw ago,th Farmer, iate; ... -'A-'i,. h 4 1 EDITOR'S LAMENT Getting out a paper is no picnic The Governor's p:oposed removal of toll charges over the Cape Fear and Chowan rivers is a further ges ture toward linking more closely North Carolina's eastern country of history, romantic traditions and pic turesque coastal scenery with the up per sections of the state. Economically, it perhaps is unfair that the whole state should be re quired to foot the bill for these long and very expensive bridges. The traffic is disproportionately lighter, the per-automobile need far less, tran on the heavilyrtiaveled pied- mont highways. Nevertheless, North Carolina is Tepidly "rounding to a disposition uu.i. , 4 ' 11 we puu..B or.Kin8I m.., . ofi , , rathe. than say we lack variety - the problems If we publish things 'from Other , ' , rpapers. we are too lazy to write, I MrA-u, If we .stay on our Jb, we ought . o ... to be out rustling news. of the textile interests, long knowit as the exploiters of children. And similarly this year, a new organiza tion called the National Committee for the Protection of the Child, Fam ily, School and Home, is spreading the same propaganda. The organi zation is not concerned wi'h project ing either children or the home, but mere'y with piotecting industry. Child labor means lowered wages. Even the pre 'once in the labor mar ket of a large group of low-paid children competing with adults foice3 down adult wage rates and low wage scales meaning low purchasing pow er for farm products. If the 100, 000 children taken out of industry by the codes are permitted to re enter the labor market when the codes expire, wages will be depressed and sweat shops again will flourish. Therefore, it is to the economic in terests of the fanner to see that this! state ratifies the Amendment. He has nothing to lose but all to gain. through its ratification.
