THURSDAY, JANUARY .", 1933. ) PARK DEVELOPMENT TO BEGIN NEXT YEAR It is expected that all lands to be included within the bounds of the Great Smoky National Park will have been acquired within the next few months and announcement has been made that development of the park should begin dur ing the coming year. A. I). Cammerer, assist ant director of national parks, has been in Ashe ville this week in conference with persons in terested in hotels, lodges, roads, trails, conces sions and oilier park development. The park ollicial was reassuring about thy plans to start work in the park during 1933. He explained after all (he land had been acquired, the; park service will begin general develop ment in all sections. Twenty-year leases will be let to individuals or companies who will be allowed to build hotels or provide other park accommodations or amusements within the reg ulations (if the park service development plans. "On the North Carolna side," Mr. Cram merer said, "we will construct major camp sites and facilities at Smokemont, Flat Creek and Upper Cataloochee. These will be conducted and maintained by the government, together with roads and trails. On the Tennessee side, bur major camping headquarters will be in Cade's cove." Probably few people in Western North Carolina have yet to realize what this park is bound to mean not only to this section but to all North Carolina and Tennessee. It will at tract thousands of tourists from all parts of the country and their coming will mean that money will be spent for gasoline and supplies. Some will doubtless be attracted to North Carolina as a permanent home. The announcement that development in the park is due to start soon is of more than pass ing importance. Morganton News-Herald. Raleigh observers now believe that a sales tax in this state is almost certain. Most of those who have studied the problem agree that a general sales tax of 2 per cent on all gross sales will be necessary in order to raise $8,000 -000 a year new revenue. Of this amount $4 oOO.OOO will be needed to replace the revenue now obtained from the 15 cents propertv .tax, Mnd the balance needed to make up the amount needed caused by shrinkage from other revenue In 1931 it was thought that a one per cent sales tax would be sufficient to produce the need ed revenue, but since the present retail sales are so low, it seems that a 2 per cent tax is as little as can be gotten by with. One reason that the general belief Ls that the tax will be put on, is that no other source of revenue has yet been available. The retailer, will in most pa l,p ti to pay tins tax. An article now retailing for a dohar would hardly be market $1.02, but would be sold for the regular price of a dollar and the merchant absorbing the tax. With the heavy federal taxes, business taxes, propertv taxes and numerous of licenses already forced on the retailer to the extent that he can hardly move, we wonder if sooner or later our country won't be almost "merchantless" because of taxes A bulletin issued in Washington by the government stated that each congressman in Washington cost this country an average of $30,000 a year. At present prices, we should get a lot for that much money. '''' It was said that at a certain postoffice dur ing the Christmas eve rush, a man heading a long line of patient customers, threw down a dollar bill at the window and asked for a "spec ial delivery stamp" 13 three's, 6 two's, 5 postal cards and the change in one-and-half cent stamps. There are certain instances where murder would be justified. "'' MORE AND UETTER MACHINERY "What civilization needs is MORE and bet ter machinery, more and better labor-saving devices, and shorter working hours, better pay and more leisure," Arthur Brisbane recently said when commenting on the new-old theory of Technocracy. An expression like the above seems rather absurd when we take into consideration that there are now about twelve million American citizens walking the streets in search of work ; while thousands of that number are standing daily in bread lines for their daily bread. With out a doubt, unemployment is the gravest prob lem before our country today. A general survey shows that machines are now doing work that was formerly done by men who were bread-winners of the family. For a few examples take for instance, a century ago, one man produced 25 tons of pig iron a year, now one man produces 4000 tons. Machines recently installed make 2,600 cigarettes a min ute, as compared with the former maximum production of 600. In the manufacture of in candescent lamps one man today does as much work in an hour as he did in 9000 hours in 1911 all because he has better and faster machin ery to work with. From general observation, we know that other industrial plants have installed machinery that speeds up production in other lines equally as fast as the ones mentioned above. At least we know it is true of the printing office. Where it formerly took five men an hour to set a certain amount of type, now one man can do the work with the aid of a machine in about forty min utes. r . ii neg.uuiess oi what the world thinks about it, bigger and be ww..v ne IO l)V. made daily, as Mr. Brisbane suggested. With that in mind it seems that the only thing for the world to do is to get use to t hese machines and use them and make the best of it. Die world today is demanding quality at a little cost, and this can only be made pos sible through the use and aid of machinery, regardless of how many men it throws out. This brings up this suggestion. Regulate the work-week just long enough to absorb the entire working population. That suggestion, however, will not meet with the approval of those now employed full-time, and they, in one sense, are entitled to show their feeling of dis satisfaction. In recent years the United States has had a taste of this labor regulation in a small way in certain sections. Take for example the cot ton mills. They close for several weeks, and sometimes for several months, and then again they reopen for only three days a week. The people depending on that mill to furnish them with full-time work find themselves lackino- Hip necessities of life, because they have not adapt ed themselves to live under any conditions oth er than on wage receieved for six-days work. The industrial world is changing, and we might as well change with it, or else suffer the consequences. We cannot hope to go for ever with ten or twelve million of American citizens unemployed. A change has got to come; it has come, i.o we might as well get use to it. It has been pointed out that large Companies are growing daily. The large companies can iio longer compete with the smaller companies 'which are constantly seeking the small town and community to establish their plants and factories, and get away from the r-nno-PsfpH centers of population, high taxes and labor strifes. . In the small community the workers are not necessarily dependent upon the factory for full time, but can raise some vegetables in their garden plots and live on less wages, but live much more comfortably than if they were hem med in a crowded city and dependant upon workmen's wages for their livlihood So after all, with the imnrov-Pd mri'pii;nW. that we have today, America, is better off than if we did not have it. How many people would have work if it were not for automobiles, air planes and the recent machine improvement the raido? Untold thousands, and maybe mil lions. We can't do without machines now, because we have adapted ourselves to their aid. It h not probable, however, that as much progress will be made in the near future as has been made in recent years. We believe our better machines are made, and with some improve ments, we will have a foundation for years to come to aid man to do his work with more ease, and less expense.
