EAST AS WELL AS WEST
Now that Governor Cherry has spoken to his Highway
Commission on the subject, the folks who live back in the
country will Sit back to watch, not so much with satisfac
tion as with critical expectancy, how fast and how far the
Highway Commission moves toward building and improving
secondary and community roads. For it is reported from Ra
leigh that the .Governor “bore down” on the Highway Com
mission in a personal recommendation at the Commission’s
meeting last week for immediate and adequate action to be
taken to improve' the rural roads, giving this work prece
dence over construction of new projects in the primary sys
tem.
I
Whether he told the Highway Commission anything its
members did not already know when he said that the sec
ondary and community roads had been neglected and the
people were clamoring to have sopiething done about them'
is doubtful. What the Governor told his Highway Commis-'
sion about the condition and neglect of these roads is obvious
to anyone who travels over them, and over them travel more I
'^Tar Heel voters than travel over the hard-surfaced roads i
of the primary road system. The people who live on these
roads have been patient while waiting for something to be
done, but they have not been silent. They welcome the Gov
ernor’s voice of authority into their chorus. They have been
saying all along that \Vhat the people want now are roads, the
super-highways, short-cuts, and other magnMiciencies later.
This is not only the clamor of the voters of the west, who
Governor Cherry said were “up in arms” over the condition
of their secondary and community roads, it has been the re
peated expression of the mud-bound farmers of the eastern
counties as well.—Hertford County Herald.

A FAMOUS AND GLORIOUS OUTFIT
“Old Hickory” is known as the name of the famous 30th
Division which has become a legend from World War I days
for its gallant fighting in crushing Germany in 1918.
Today it has achieved even more glory by. carrying the
Stars and Stripes across the seas and planting it as a symbol
of liberation to the oppressed eople held helpless under the
steel Nazi boots.
Tarheels should be very proud of the “Old Hickory” for
from the soil of the Old North State sprang many of the brave
men who form the ranks of this outfit.
Back from an even more terrible war has this glorious di
vision again returned. And fittingly, it has come back to the
South in which it trained and prepared for both wars. Old
Hickory has now hung up its battle flags at Fort Jackson, S.
C, '
Starting with a total of 20,000 Purple Hearts and 9,204 oth
er decorations, the statistical story of the 30th’s 10 months
combat is impressive. Four of the men received the Medal of
Honor—the nation’s highest award—and fo-ur others, the Le
gion of Merit. Decorations have been heaped on it by the Brit
ish, French and Russians. ‘'Old Hickory” did great honor to
our State as did the men who marched under its banners
some 28 years ago..
We are very proud of this Division and we consider it a
great privilege to welcome them back home.—The (Wendell,
N. C.) Goldleaf Farmer.
MARCHING FORWARD
into the Peac&-^
The indicator that points to pri
mary objectives on Uncle Sam’s dial
moved, August 12, from Victory to
Employment. Correctly this na
tion’s first aim from December 7,
1941, to V-J Day was to win the war
i and save the world’s free peoples
I from despotic rule; worth all it cost
in blood, sweat and tears. Now
that’s finished, and the new primary
objective is to hold what's been
! gained.
j Damages have been fearful. Some
; never can be repaired; some can.
I There are twisted minds and bro
ken hearts, wounds to heal and
i debts to pay. These losses that can
^ be won back will demand much
j time and patience. By their very
j nature, they are deferred. But un-
j employment is another aggressive
ene.my, not to be put off. We pro
vide work now or lose what eur
. young men bought with their lives.
Something to Avoid
Mass unemployment in this coun
try might easily start a revolution
among industrial workers that
would overthrow the republic and
destroy our very American way of
life. It is the one catastrophe to
be feared by the whole people of
^merica. ^ touched off
much talk abHit post-war legisla
tion but all of it is relatively un-
inaportant except what has to do
with gainful employment.
that merely
promise work to service men are
nothing but emotional brainstorms.
Jobs have to pay their own \ray to
be worth having. Since 15,000 men
will lay down arms every day for
14 months, one of three things must
happen; (1) Private industry must
expand and make room for them,
(2) Government will make a big
WPA for them or (3) Want will bring
desperation.
Good Tax Laws First
A hungry and outraged people
rush mob-like to dictatorship. An
army-size WPA marches with slave
like steps to the same destination.
Well paid jobs in private industry
with opportunity for improvement
and advancement constitute the only
work fit for a free people. It is the
only solution worthy of America’s
clean record. Industry must expand
and make jobs. It is the only way
to remain free.
Only one thing stands in the way
—taxes! Expanding industry,
enough to make the needed jobs,
calls for investments which (same
as jobs) have to pay. Today’s taxes,
however, make it impossible to find
a paying investment that will make
jobs. The tax laws were all right
in 1940 when they were passed to
take the profit out of war. Now they
threaten to ruin our future by tak
ing the prosperity out of peace.
A Simple Tax Plan
It is my conviction that corpora
tion taxes and standard individual
taxes should be levied at the same
rate. I think the structure should
be high enough to meet the require
ments of the proposed budget with
out having any surtaxes higher than
50%. For an investor to pay out
more than half his income in taxes
will discourage large investments—
the very kind needed.
With a few specific exceptions I
oppose excise taxes and consider it
wrong in principle to tax distributed
income of corporations more than
once. Excess profits taxes should
be eliminated immediately. A fair
tax policy, end certainly an expedi
ent one, will encourage capital in
vestments for profit In going con
cerns rather than in government
bonds. We want the right taxes for
the most jobs.

To the People
of this Community
Take a tip from your favorite
retail merchant. His Christmas
counters are stocked for the first
time since 1939 with commodities
you dreamed
about in the
darkness of
war. And yet
he and his
employees
will go the
limit today
in telling
you for your
own good to
buy “some
thing else” first. As a war-wise
thrifty American you need not
be told that the name of this
product is Victory Bond, that it
can never be worth less than you
pay for it, that It will return $4
for every $3 invested when held
to maturity 10 years hence, that
it is your personal servant at the
same time It is serving your
country’s current needs, ths* it
will assure you not only a merry
Christmas this year but help to
make Christmas merry In the
years to come. Your merchant
knows a great product. That’s
why he is putting e-uery effort to
stuff the Christmas stockings of
this community with extra Vic
tory Bonds.
