The Chapel Hill weekly., 1931-01-23

Customarily we admire r. r.
Clark for his fairness ard good
judgment, but we believe he is
in error when he supports the
salary and wage cut proposed
by the Governor.
Mr.. Clark's editorial on the
subject in Tuesdays Greensboro
NeWs contains what appears to
US TO be a grave incon-
sistency. He says that while
some public employees are get
ting more than they are worth
''the Informed know that MANY
receive but modest compensa-
ton. are really underpaid when
the cost of the investment neces-
sary 10 fit them for the service
is considered," and that this
last is especially true Of teachers
in all ranks y And yet, despite
this declaration Of the belief that
the cut would not be fair to the
teachers. he says that it ought TO
be made anyway.
The title Of his editorial is
Cut the Crouch with the Ten
Per Cent" and he offers the ad-
vice that those who get liv-
ing wage, and a trifle more,
from the treasury might leave
off their grouching for the
moment and consider other folks,
if that is possible.
He speaks of business and
professional people who have
taken a much larger cut than 10
per cent" and Of farmers who
have lost by immense deprecia-
tion in the value of their pro-
ducts. His sympathy with
those who have suffered heavily
from the agricultural and indus
trial depression does him credit.
And it is well deserved sympa-
thy. All of US know Of cases of
heart-breaking poverty at our
very doors. But we believe Mr..
Clark is badly mistaken in the
assumption that the ten per
cent. cut-which he declares to
be inequitable, in that it affects
alike job-holders who are over
paid and teachers who are al
ready underpaid-would bring
any discernible relief 10 the peo-
pie who have been hit by the
hard times.
The total saving that would
result from the cut would not
be enough, or anywhere near
enough, TO ease to any discern
ible degree the burdens of the
three million and more inhabit-
ants Of North Carolina. In his
message 10 the legislature the
Governor estimated that the
saying-if the cut were applied
to the employees of the state and
of all its subdivisions-the en-
ployees of all counties and
towns and public institutions
would amount to $4,000, 900.
This is a little over a dollar per
capita for the population of
North Carolina. A mere
moments exercise in arithmetic
proves that the consequent
Tightening OF the tax burden
over the state would be so small
as to be almost undetected.
Of course we do not forget
what is said of Example" and
psychological effect" Whether
the psychological effect would be
good or bad must remain a mat
ter of opinion. AS to this, we
can only repeat the belief we
have already expressed-that
the cutting of peoples pay is the
worst way in the world to re-
store purchasing power. The
country has been reading and
hearing for months-all the |
economists seem to agree on

Bg Hdlifox Jones

A little while ago l ran across
the report of an address, or lee
ture, or sermon, or some sort of
public deliverance, in which the
speaker offered advice on the use
OF time. He thought too much
time was wasted. Thousands
upon thousands of persons could
save an hour every day." he
said, land that would give them
a half day at the end Of every
week and 25 days at the end of
every year. Much time is lost
in unnecessary sleep, while a
great deal of the remainder of
time for millions is spent in fri
volity, trifling, and needless
fun"
This is a large subject. How
to use time is a problem that is
ever-present with everybody.
And there is nobody who, look
ing back, doesn't regret the way
he used a great part Of his time,
My notions about it are very diff
ferent from those Of the speaker
/ have just quoted. When |
think of the era of twenty or
twenty-five years ago my re-
grets are for prudent courses |
followed when | might have been
chasing off after variety and ex-
citement. | remember the time,
for example, when | had four or
FIVE hundred dollars that ! might
have used for a trip to Europe.
Travelling was much cheaper in
those days than now, and a lone
young man could make that sum
cover several weeks abroad. |
weighed the question back and
forth and decided to save the
money. 1t was q bad decision
which | have never ceased to re-
gret.
"One of the most palpable
proofs of folly is the squander-
ing away of golden moments"
said the speaker. Time is more
than mere duration-it may be
understood as opportunity for
doing something that really pro-
fits"
But what is profit from the
use of time? People have very
different ideas about this. To
one man profitable use means
the accumulation Of money that
can be put out at interest; to an
other it is the acquisition of
knowledge from books; to an
other it is association with live
ly and congenial friends; and SO
on through preferences and pre-
dilections Of infinite number and
variety. | know one man to
whom none of his memories
gives more real enjoyment than
the memory of the several
brands Of Burgundy which he
consumed in the course of tour
through France.
| am reminded of certain
verses by Don Marquis which
have kept in my scrap-book. l
cite them here:

the teachers as a class are al
ready really underpaid"-can
both be true.
The chief idea at the bottom of
his defense Of the cut appears to
be that it is scheduled to go
through, protest or no protest.
and that therefore it might as
well be accepted without more
talk. Our view is that If it is
not fair it ought to be opposed
no matter how the cards may be
stacked for it in Raleigh.
Mr.. Clark says: THE salary
cut isn't theory; it isn't pro-
position for consideration; it is
an accomplished fact insofar as
the budget commission can make
If that" But the budget COM
mission powerful though it
be. does not enact the laws for
the state Of North Carolina.
That is the function Of the legis-
lature, and surely the legislature
is not expected TO be simply a
rubber stamp.
+ IF an attempt is made to
work out an equitable schedule
the whole business may fall be-
cause Of divisions. Thus the
suggested fat reduction for all
paid out Of public funds. But
unless it goes all the way, those
who can't be compelled volun-
teering, it will fail of it's pur-
pose" Is it fair that unmerited
punishment should be visited
upon teachers and others be-
cause the legislature is unwilling
to work out an equitable sche-
dule? If this be so, we ought
to reverse the old saying and
make it read: Better that the
innocent should suffer than that
the guilty should escape.
We think that Mr.. Clark tends
to attribute a too sacrosanct
quality to the recommendations
of the budget commission. 1t is
true that the budget is pom
derous document consisting of a
mass Of tabulations, estimates,
and segregated schedules. But
if a sufficient number Of legisla-
tors come to the opinion that
the salary cut is inequitable, as
Mr.. Clark himself says it is, the
task Of revising the figures is by
no means impossible. 1t would
require some tedious work, but
the legislature is not supposed
to be immune from work. The
proposed salary cut is manifest
injustice to individuals and an
unwise measure from the point
Of view of the state as whole,
and the appropriation commit
tees can, if they will, prevent it
by going through the budget
and making the necessary era
sures and marginal notes.
OF course the discussion all
comes back to the question of
getting the revenue required to
meet the budget. We hold that
the revenue can be obtained by
the enactment Of a proper taxa
ton law; and by proper we
mean a law that would not i'm
pose unreasonable burdens upon
any interest or class. But what
is unreasonable? Ay, there's
the rub! Let the persons and
interests that are to be taxed de-
fine the word, and the state
would get very little money for
any purpose.
Cutting down on education is
being masked as relief for the
poor. AS a matter of fact, it is
a blow at the poor. Their sal
vation lies in a steady improve
ment in educational facilities.
Without intending to do so many
citizens who are falling in with
the proposal to retrench on edu-

Two Members of Board Urge
Retention of Dr., Johnson
at Assembly; Are Cheered

A general movement in favor of
the retention of DR.. Mordecal

versity was evidenced today al
general assembly Of the board
Of trustees of the university with
the students and faculty.
Two members of the board
addressed the assembly and
heartily endorsed DR.. johnson as
head of the university.
With Gen. John H. Sherburne,
of Boston, Mass, presiding, Dr.
Louise C. Ball, of New York, and

addressed the group.
DR.. johnson and the 16 mem.
bers of the trustee board who
attended the assembly were
given rousing ovation by the
student body.
The board will meet late today
to determine if DR.. johnson
should continue as head of the
institution. Should he be asked
to resign, indications were today
that the entire student body of
over 1000 students would strike.
The movement to strike was
first evidenced last night when
a group of students addressed a
mass meeting at the Metropoli-
tan Baptist Church and declared
the intention Of the entire stu.
dent body to strike should DR..
Johnson be forced to resign.
The students, Miss Pauline

.MANEUVERS

For the purpose of observing
field artillery activities at the
brigade maneuvers, which will be
held at Fort Benning, Ga, on
Thursday and Friday, Maj. Gen.
Harry G.. Bishop, chief of field
artillery, will leave for that place
tomorrow.
After attending the maneuvers,
General Bishop will go to Auburn,
Ala. for conference with the pro-
feSsors Of military science and
tactics, Major John T. Kennedy
at the Alabama Polytechnical In
stitute on matters pertaining to
the ReServ e Officers Training
Corps unit at that school.
From there General Bishop
goes to Fort Mcpherson, Ga, for a
conference with the commanding
general of the Fourth Corps Area,
: Maj. Gen. Frank r. Mccoy. Gen
eral Bishop will probably return
to Washington by way of Fort
Mcclellan, Ala, as he desires to
see the possibilities of that fort
for future use by the field artil-
lery.
