COULDN'T STAND THE COMPANY

Country clubs very frequently ac.
Iuire an unSavory name, but the one
out in Topeka, Kansas, caps the stack
Of anything we have seen. Out al
this club they had dance some time
ago and it seems that the affair was
so raw that most of the citizens had
some pretty hard words to say about
it. William Allen Whites Gazette
has an editorial on the subject, which
contains this unique bit:
The protest of the colored cook at
the Country Club that he was not a
participant in the dance there the
other night shows that he has some
proper sense of shame. He has heard
the talk on the street about the Coun-
try Club dance and feels that he
should not be connected with it. No
self-respecting colored man could do
otherwise. But what about the men,
bership of the Country Club,
When town gets to be ambitious.
or rather when some Of its citizens
get to be ambitious, to be known as
right up to the minute, they organize
country club. When prohibition
laws first began to tighten down on
the towns there were more country
clubs than you could shake a stick
at, but they were principally liquor
clubs. And now that prohibition has
become real the country club as an
institution is declining. Some of
them of course are all right and re-
spectacle but their name does not nee
essarily imply that their members are
fond Of the country. And the Topeka
club where the colored cook felt that
ne could not afford to be classed with
the white dancers must be a bird.

posing as a means Of reducing rent
There is an old saying which came
from England. Carrying Goals to
Newcastle" meaning that one is do
ing particularly futile thing. That
is exactly what all these schemes are,
They will not help the renter a parti-
Gle for the very simple reason that
under the present scheme of taxing
buildings and practically untaxing the
land on which they rest. every cent
that is saved in the cost Of the build
ing is automatically added to the
price of the land and the landlord is
compelled TO charge as much as be-
fore. People cannot see this because
every building site does not change
hands Immediately, but eventually
they all do and the increased price.
which is wholly unearned, goes into
the capitalization Of the land. The
immediate reason that rents are
high is the scarcity of houses, and
houses are scarce upon the whole be-
cause it is not profitable to build
them to sufficiently supply the de-
mand. 1t is not profitable to build
because land is so highly capitalized.
Land is so highly capitalized because
We make it more profitable to hold it
out of use for speculation than to use
il. The way TO remedy this is to take
the tax off of buildings and put it all
on the land for this would knock the
bottom out of speculation in land and
make it cheap. Then people could
get it and build their own houses.
VIII the people ever see these sim
pie facts? We are afraid not.

FORD'S OFFER WILL NOT BE
ACCEPTED

Henry Ford's offer to lease the
Muscle Shoals development and com
plete il under terms that viii not
accrue TO himself but to the publ c
has no chance whatever before a Re
publican congress. This is true for
two or three reasons.
The first and general reason is that
it proposes violent departure from
existing ideas of private exploitation
of natural resources II this water
power is developed along Ines of pub
lie welfare rather than private gan
why will not all water powers be
compelled to come under the same
rule? And then the coal mines and
the oil fields. Horrors. Can you
think of anything worse from the
standpoint of the private exploiters Of
natural resources?
The next and more specific re2s IN
is that-the gentlemen who are making
ertilizers fos private profit don't
want to be interferred with and they
are raising a great howl. And they
are backed up by the aluminium max
ers, and perhaps others.
The third is that the gentlemen of
large means who finance the Repub-
lican party are far from friendly to
Ford's ideas of the way that things
ought TO be run. He is disturbing the
railroads, and this thing and that,
and preaching dangerous ideas about
getting results for the masses rather
than the gentlemen who take the
profits in large slices.
Before this thing is over they will
prove that Henry Ford is liar, a
thief, loafer, and a bum, and didn't
even discover the tn lizzie.

Yesterdays election of officers is
the elimination OF a movement that
began in Raleigh toward the end of
1920 after the bottom had fallen out
of the tobacco market all over the
country. The initial meeting OF the
growers was held here, and at that
time IL was determined to organize
the growers into compact unit to
market their tobacco to their own
best interests.
an active campaign was waged
throughout the three states, in which
tobacco growers were urged TO sign
an agreement to market their pro-
duets through the association. A
majority of the growers in the three
states have signed up and the associ-
alton now controls most of the to-
bacco grown in the South. A similar
organization controls the crop In the
Kentucky belt. accounting for praeti-
cally all the tobacco raised In
America.
The agreement which the growers
have signed becomes effective July
l, 1922 and all tobacco held at that
time in the hands of the grower will
be subject TO the sale by and through
the association The association will
work without profit to itself. The
tobacco held by II is its capital stock.

ate loans when necessary for financ-
ing the movement OF the crop to the
best interests OF the members OF the

DESPISE NOT SMALL THINGS

Years ago nobody would take pen
MES over a counter in this section
and few people had much respect for
niekle. We believed in larger things
and most people had contempt for
chicken money" Abou. that time
q young man who had been raised
on a New York farm, woolworth BY
name, conceived the idea of running
. store in which all articles should
be sold for five or ten cents, and
nothing higher. His first store was
success and he began starting chains
OF such stores. Before he died he
had erected the highes. building in
the business district of New York
snd had a store in every city in the
United States Of any size.
When Mr.. Woolworth died a few
years ago his great corporation went
right on. 1t is now capitalized at
sixty-five millions common stock on
which it paid last year dividends Of
more than twenty dollars per share
aud had eleven millions in cash on
aard the first of this year.

NSEEMLY

Judge B. F. Long has refused 70
nav his income tax to the State and
has brought a suit to test the con-
stitutionality of the ruling Of the
Commissioner of Taxation that the
salaries of State officials We're subject
10 the income tax law the same as
salaries of everybody else. Cover
nor Morrison paid his tax and so did
the other State officials. 1t would
not have hurt Judge Long TO do the
same. He has had a good office a long
time. and enc so desirable that he
has not given it up, but while holding
il actively sought to be nominated
70 another one.
Since the small amount would not
have hurt him, and since the eonst'-
tutionality of the thing is not worth
fighting over, there being no Just
precedent to be established in the
negative, Judge Longs action ap-
pears to be rather unseemly.
If il is unconstitutional to tax the
the salaries of State offic ais in the
same way that other salaries are
taxed. the constitution will be soon
amended on this point. But there
are no grounds in equity for sup
posing that it is unconstitutional. The
constitution says that the salary of
an officer created under the consti-
tu ion shall not be decreased during
his term of office. Obviously the pur-
pose Of this was to prevent such a
reduction of salary as would amount
to an abolition of the office. Equally
obvious is it that an income tax that
will be acceptable to, and paid by,
all other people, can in no sense en-
danger the position of State Of
fcial, and therefore, cannot in any
sense, come within the provision of
the constitution which was designed
solely to preserve the office. In other
words this tax cannot be considered
either in law, equity or common sense,
as coming within the constitutional
provision. Even should there be
doubt as to this view of the matter,
the doubt is too small, and the in
vas.on too insignificant for a man of
Judge Longs standing to quibble over.

THE TEMPLE OF MODERN LIFE

'The factory has become the TEN.
pie of modern life," said DR.. Eaton
in his speech here Monday night.
He further said that industry has
become the new order of civilization
and civilization is going to rise or
fall in the factories, not in the
churches.
This is a truth so important that
it should never be overlooked by any
person or organization seeking to
contribute anything to the advance
ment or the preservation of civiliza-
tion.
The intense factory life of modern
times first arose in England where
it developed without guidance or help
fulness until its evils became its most
conspicuous side. Many great men
who are large factors in industry in
America have understood all along
that civilization was becoming more
and more in their keeping and have
met the issues with far sighted re-
sourcefulness, while many others see
no more the facts in the case than the
average Englishman saw fifty years
ago. DR.. Eaton appealed to the
thoughtful men of the South to ac-
eept their responsibilities of leader
ship in the proper spirit and do what
they could to preserve Anglo-Sax
ideals in the factory as they have
been preserved in the rural life of
the South.
Factory life means more than the
words would at first seem to imply.
1t means the whole fabric of city
and commercial life of the present
as compared with the isolated coun-
try life Of the past. The future is
in the keeping of industry, truly. and
the question in peace is coming to
be the same as the question in war.
namely, can man survive the machine ?

LET THE MEN STEP LIVELY

Some of US old moss back men who
are still lamenting woman suffrage
and women this and that, might do
well to turn over to the social column
and read about the last meeting of
the Sorosis Club. The club opened
its meeting with some remarks on
drama. music, politics. foreign news,
art. philanthropy, civics, science, in
vention, education, social service and
literature.
Perhaps these brief remarks did not
sum up all the learning on these many
and important subjects, but they show
that the women have alert and in
ouir.ng minds which they are sharp
ening and developing to degree far
beyond anything that the generality
of men are doing. These women's
clubs have been operating long time
now and their work is having a tell
ing effect. Men have been supposing
that when women meet they run gos-
siping societies, but we are waking up
to the fact that this is largely a ira
ditional joke. The first thing the
men know they will know nothing
compared to what the women know.
Men meet in their clubs largely to
have a good time. For some years
now the women have been meeting
to dig up information that enlarges
their minds, broadens their under
standing and tends to make them su-
perior to men in the latter's chosen
fields. Better step lively, men.
