SCOTT POOLE If Germany conquers Russia, re turns to the western front and de feats England, gathers'the resources of all Europe, and through South America attack the United States with Japan aiding and abetting in this warfare, they might give our country a hard time between them. The property of the United States is valued at four hundred billion dollars so our national debt is not alarming, but it will be hard to pay nevertheless. By the way :If we can spend such vast sums to destroy, why not do more toward living in time of peace? Nazism is itself Communism, but a different brand from that which possessed the Russians, when they revolted against the Nobility and either killed them out or ran them out of the country, and Communists in Germany and Russia worked to gether to wreck govenunents the world over, but Hitler’s brand car ries more diabolism, surely. The Legislature in 1921, which passed the first real road law, had provided in that law that road mat erial might be taken free wherever found and the highway rights of way claim thirty-five feet from the center of the road. While they were build ing soil roads they dug some awfully ugly holes in farms in Hoke, and elsewhere, of cour se. It has never been tested, but I just know that law is unconstitut ional. It denies the right of the state itself to grant titles to land, if the state can go and take that land back any time the state wants it back. Were that law brought before our Supreme court I believe we will learn as I say to be true. We have a Supreme court equal to any State. Everybody wants good roads. We remember the deep sand even in Main Street, Raeford, and why people were so long learning the effect of clay on sandy roads I do not understand. But the roadbuilders should have gone into edge of the fields to get clay, and not right in front of a man’s dwelling in his best land. By unjust legislation there has been an uneven distribution of the wealth of the world, but we should always remember two wrongs do not make a right. Fair dealing now, with in come taxes will adjust matters as well as is possible. Twenty to twenty-five miles a day was all we could make with a loaded wagon without driving in the night. We have made a trip to Fayetteville from Jackson Springs, but we stayed only one day in town, and driving thirty miles that day we reached home. Back there it was nip-and-tuck to live at all. We thought so at the time, and we just would have to “seek relief,” nqw.
