VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENTS !
Next Tuesday North Carolinians go to the polls In their
regular bi-ennlal election. There is little interest manifest in
this election which is usual In North Carolina. We have no gov
ernor to elect and' we do not elect a president of the United
States. Our state being overwhelmingly Democratic, battles for
public office are fought out in the Democratic Primary which
in nearly .ill counties is tantamount to election. So it is here
in Duplin. '
There are five questions to be voted on by the people that
need particular attention. Voters usually do not pay much at
tention to constitutional amendments. Few people have made
a study of eur state constitution and do not realize the lmpora
, ance it plays in our daily life. When the constitution is amend
ed or changed there is no authority or power in the state that
can change it or condone its violation. The constitution is the
expressed will of the masses 6f the people. The amendments are
the laws the people themselves make and no legislature can
change them.
The five amendments to ibe voted on next Tuesday are all
good and reasonable' and should be passed by a large majority
of the voter. Mark your ballot "yes" to each of these amend-
" munti 'rhev do not Increase your taxesi-they merely rectify.
' some Injustices now existing. - "'
The first amendment has to do with waiving indictments. .
What' this really will accomplish will be to eliminate so much
work on the part of the grand juries when a person, guilty of
a criminal charge, admits and pleads guilty. At present the
' grand jury must bring a true bill of Indictment on all criminal
charges. Under the amendment if the person is represented by
legal counsel and pleads guilty to the charge this will not be
Amendment II. safeguarding the funds of teachers' and
state employees' retirement system. This amendment merely
makes it impossible for any legislature to appropriate funds
: that have been saved up by our teachers and state employees -for
any other purpose than that for which they are Intended.
" It has been done in two other states. At present our legislature, "
- U it saw fit, could take the more than $50,000,000 now saved for
, their retirement and use It in some other manner, legally, and
when the time came for this money to be spent for Its Intended t
. purpose it would be gone. This money belongs to the teachers ; -'
and state employees. It is their money they have saved and the "
legislature should have no more right to use it for any other
purpose than should a bank take one's personal deposits and
use them for some other purpose. Surely no one can deny the ;
teachers and state employees the right to do with-what Is al---
; - rady their own, If this amendment passes It will guarantee for
.". all time that the funds will be intact when needed by its right- -
. ful owners. Vote "yes" on your ballot.
Amendment III. has to do with compensation of leglsla-
. our state representatives and senators cannot live in Raleigh
for three months or longer on $600. That is their present pay.
This pay was set up years ago when a legislature lasted only 60 ,
days and the cost of living was much lower than it is today! The
new amendment will raise the pay to $1300 for three months.
A member Is lucky if the legislature adjourns at the end of '
uirec rnouui tnese uays. aiwu is naruiy adequate oui is mucn
v better than $600. Vote "yea" on tola amendment v'l.'1 " '
' Amendment IV. relates to giving the legislature authority
to call for an election of additional superior court Judges.. We

the superior court bench than we now have. A shortage of Jud- ' ,

must, be remembered that the governor's office is the center f
of political activity in North Carolina. The supreme court Jus
tices are supposed to be as far from politics aa is possible for
any group to be. Their wojrk is dealing with courts and Justices "
and It would naturally follow that they should have this au

governor's office, it is merely a step forward in. progressive ' "

Baleigh, N. C. Oct 29. With
election time just around the cor
ner, some of the so-called political
experts in Raleigh are predicting
tbat Willis Smith - - senatorial
nominee -- will be low man on the
Democratic ticket ' .
They don't think hell be de
feated by Republican E. L. Gavin
of Sanford, but they do think he'll
receive less votes than any of the
other Democrats on the State tick
' Meantime, nothing much has
been said about the five proposed
constitutional ' amendments.' All ' of
them ; are .favored by ; Governor
Scott end other State officials, as
well as members of the North Caro
lina congressional delegation. They
have been mentioned -- some of
them -- briefly st district rallies.
Briefly", they are: ; m '
1. To raise pay of members and
officers of the general assembly.
! Practically every member now ser-
. ves an a loss, getting $600 for the
session regardless of how long the
session lasts. That won't even pay
tneir notei mu tor a three-month
session. Presiding officers of the
house and senate get $700 each.
The new amendment would pay
legislators $15 per day for up to
a 00-day regular session and the
same amount for up to a 25-day
special session. It calls for a $20
a day for presiding officers. Both

The report further says that the
"king of bootleggers" is not un
known to the tow. 4. adds that this
klngbee has had several brushes
with the law, hut always has gotten
tout by the payment of a nominal
fine and the imposition of a sus
pended sentence.
Generally, the report indicates
that . the traffic in illegal sale of
tax-paid whiskey in Sampson is
big business, on a scale comparable
to that of "white Hiker" traffic In
some of the western counties..

port of i these dinner-meeting'
should be sent to the executive
office of NC ADA in Raleigh as
soon as they are planned and held."
There also Is a hint in NCADA
"Flashes" that the auto dealers in
tend to do quite a bit of lobbying
through their state organization.
This came in a plea for members
to help "sign up the non-members.'
"The the problems that face us,'
the article said, "we cannot em
phasize too strongly the necessity
for' every 'dealer to be a member
of, both NCADA and NAD A. (the
national association); The key place
the automobile industry holds to
day in Federal and State matters
and. the potential legislation facing
the industry make it necessary to
bpve the membership of ' every
dealer."
In other, words, get us all the
money you can, boys, to fight leg
islation that we don't like.

The Way to Win
CHRISTIANS are not exempt in
this war of good against evil.
We are not "carried to the skies on
flowery beds of ease' any more
than Jesus was. We do not drift into
the Promised Land. We have to
fight our way uphill. ', '
- Yet Christians are expected to
i win. That Is, God stands beside
" each Christian In his flght, and
, God's power Is for the Chris- 1
; tian's nse. As 8aint Pan says,
..with each temptation God pro-.
' vMea a "way of escape." Our
. prayer "Lead os not Into temp
tatioa" can always be answered. ,
Sometimes it can be answered
i by ourselves. That' Is, we ean-
'; not leave the fight to God.
But we can win as Jesus won:
sometimes by standing and doing
battle where we are. sometimes
imply t leaving temptation be
hind. For often the best thing to
be done is to retreat. Get as far as
you 'can f r o m whatever tempts
your worse self. Don't stand debat
ing between right and wrong when
you know which Is which. Turn your
back on the wrong ... run, don't
walk, to fh nearest exit! '

used Jaloppy pays $15 In sales
tax. And the. well-to-do guy who
buys a $3,500 limousine pays only
$13 in sales tax. It seems to me
that a person who can afford an
expensive car can also afford to
pay more sales tax.
The automobile dealers, incident
ally, have found a loophole to get
around paying sales .tax on auto
mobile accessories on used cars.
For example, the dealer has a used
car to sell for $500. He puts a $75
radio and a $25 heater on it rai
sing the total price to $600. But
he is liable for only $15 in sales
tax. If he sold the car, then sold
the radio and heater to the buyer,
the total sales tax would have been
$18. There's nothing wrong, legal
ly, it's Just a slick operation that
beats the law.
', Incidentally, along about next
Wednesday you can look for auto
mobile dealers, merchants and
truckers, to launch a concerted
drive to figfttj the elimination of
sales tax exemptions. j

Over in Sampso County, the
Democratic-Republican fight has
turned into, a knock-down dragout
affair tbat has turned up some in
teresting notes. Chief among these
is that the Sampson' Democratic
Executive Committee has in its
hands a report of a firm of profes
sional investigators. " ,,
This report says that the liquor
traffic in Sampson county is a dis
grace not only to the county but to
the whole State. ': ,;
f This national investigative firm
reported that Its operatives found
it "almost as easy to buy govern
men whiskey as cigarettes In nu
merous establishments in Sampson
county." The report also states
that Sampson county has a "king
ot bootleggers" and that most of
the establishments selling "regular
ly distilled whiskey" buy their sun-
plies from this king of bootleggers.
Tne report says further: ' -"The
conclusion is inescapable
that this traffic In bootleg whiskey
could not exist without either lax
law enforcement or connivance.
There is one establishment located
on the Fayetteville Highway just
outside the city limits of Clinton
and adjacent to the golf course
where curb service is available:
"The invpnf'-Mon d!1 nrt cover

The federal government : has

enterprise or ieaerai runus. . "-

North Carolina C&D board would
not want an out-of-state firm to
move into North Carolina. If pri
