FRIDAY, MA~Y~29, 1936 We are told that 957 Americans were winners in the Irish sweepstakes. It is not reported how many lost. "It can be done, I’ll promise anything” is the pro fessor’s platform. 1 fe I ■ IS Roger Babaon predicts another Var ni 1950. Hope we’ll live to see how much of a prophet he is. Representative Zioncheck thinks what this country heeds is good vaudeville, so he puts on the show himself. Holy's banner withstands the elements. His prin ciples of government will endure because they are sound. Abe Lincoln said you can't fool the people all tfie time. Dr. McDonald had ’em fooled two months ago, but North Carolina citizens, true to form, thunk a sec ond thought. MISTRESS OF THE SEA The Queen Mary, mistress of the sea is docking in New York and what a thrill it would be to see the great mistress of this sea that carries 5,000 people from Southampton, England, to New York in the short space of four days. English capital and English genius produced the Queen Mary, the like of which has never been built be fore. The giant passenger liner is over one thousand feet long, has a carrying capacity of 80,773 tons, a speed that is faster than the French liner Normandie, launch ed lastear. And it costs $25,000,000. England is still in the throes of the war’a after math, but she remains a maritime nation. Germany has undergone a revolution since she was worsted in the World War, yet she is now operating the Graf Hinden burg, the first air liner to make scheduled trans-Atlantic trips. America may boast of her wealth, her broad use of scientific discoveries, but it was left to England to build tha largest and most luxurious ocean liner and to Ger many to inaugurate the first air liner. We excel in ■ many things, but these foreign countries rank first in speedy and economical trans-ocean travel. UNTRAINED WORKERS Figures compiled by the Works Progress Adminis- ' tration show conclusively the need for trained workers. A study of occupations of the 6,385,740 persons on re lief rolls indicate that most of them are there because they are not trained to do any particular kind of work. Any employer of labor will testify thgt one of the greatest problems he faces is to secure men and women with training and aptitude for the particular kind of work at hand. Consequently most of the employees re ceive training through an apprenticeship. There are those who refuse to undergo this sacrificial period. The recent passage of the George-Ellsey act by Congress makes available more money for vocational schools. Under this act, North Carolina is to receive $451,896 or nearly four times as much as it now receives from the Federal government. In Cleveland county our vocational training offered in high schools is confined to agriculture, home econom ics and typing. The time will come when the funda mentals in salesmanship, carpentry, textiles and the like will be included in order to give youth an opportunity to discover the work for which they are best suited and which offers an opportunity for advancement Our schools will never be able to offer courses that will fully take the place of an apprenticeship, but they can aid youngsters in discovering themselves and their life’s worlt. The government’s appropriation this week means more than we realize in aiding the youth of todky to be •quipped to shoulder the responsibilities of tomorrow. A SURPRISE IN STORE From reports of increase in registration of voters throughout North Carolina, it appears that 500,000 will exercise the right of franchise in the June 6th primary. - Calculations had been made on a vqtp of 400,000 until " Jhe poll books closed. 7 ' 'A new peak will therefore lie reached, in voting in — North Carolina. This is due to the interest of the citi xens generally in the election outcome, the keenest con cern being in the governor’s race. In fact the race for Governor has so overshadowed the lesser state and cotpity contests, that people are not giving proper at tention to selection for these officers This interest in the Governor’* race has been largely created by the newspaper poll and by issues as presented on the one hand by an outstanding leader and on the other by a new comer who seems to have lulled a great group of our citizens into a hypnotic state by sweet promises of a mil* lenium; more spending and less taxes. A surprise is in store. The people have taken sec ond thought They have looked deeper and studied harder and are now turning from hocum to Hoey, a man who does not profess to do the impossible, who says he wouldn’t deceive the people for his right arm or for the Governor’s seat. The newspaper poll may have reflected the trend several weeks ago when the hypnotic influence was on, but things are different now. Hoey will sur prise the State in his strength. Unquestionably he will have a strong lead over his nearest opponent and it is entirely possible that he may receive the nomination in the first primary. CONCEALED TAXES On Monday of next week the Federal Treasury will float, or undertake to sell, an offering of $2,050,000,000 issue of government securities, increasing the public debt to approximately thirty two and a half billion dol lars. Just now the members of Congress are debating a measure on how to raise taxes to meet our increased obligations. The never ending tax problem is also under debate in the North Carolina campaign and in every other state in the union for that matter. There is no denying the fact that the people must pay, whether it be through taxes levied directly or indi rectly on the great masses, the principle being based on one’s ability to pay. Every individual, every corpora tion that pays a tax is complaining and squirming under the tax load. Direct taxes make the office holder’s life miserable. He is held responsible and the voters train their ballot guns on him who would support a tax that is paid directly into the collector’s coffers. Political expediency calls for indirect levies that are hidden in the merchandise we buy, the food we eat, the shelter we build, the pleasures we enjoy. Some day this great national debt will have to be met. If it is spread openly upon the backs of the mass es they will be inclined to turn from idolizing President Roosevelt to crucifying him. We might as well make up your minds that the debt of this state, the second largest of any state in the Union, and that the 33 billion debt of this nation must be paid by this and coming generations. The masses can’t escape their share. The method of a levying and collecting might only be wrapped dn a capsule to kill the bad taste.

The curb of Japan and the agree ment with Prance, however, was not exactly a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul. The Japanese cloth against which the tariff was direct ed consisted mainly of ‘shirtings’ used In underwear, handkerchiefs and similar articles. New England i millers producing such cotton go ds expressed Jubilation at the tar.ff 't was the lace makers who com plained about the French treaty They protested It lowered sharply the tariff on types of lace which American mills had supplied for 25 years.
