the increased income taxes and in
creased property taxes? How can we
meet all the demands made daily to
help this or that organization which
appeals for charity? How can we take
care of ourselves without denying 9TH
ers?
It is an easy matter to talk N big
sums of money, millions, billions and
so on. But will the people really be
benefited or just MAIDEN to perma-
nent beggars who will demand help
saying, why should we work when
we can be supported for nothing?"
On the other hand, will the money
be used to create jobs for the unem-
ployed and keep them busy instead of
idlers? After reading of all the money
to be raised and of all the general
crookedness and grating among our
legislators I am wondering if my mon
ey and yours-for, Of course, it is the
taxpayers who furnish all these bill
lions-is helping swell the income Of
our-to my neutrality-suspicious. law
makers.
I am not a calamity bowler, but l
have been so hard hit by the business
slump that I certainly will appreciate
a word of explanation that is really
sensible and believable.

MENTS
A SUMMER SYMPHONY.

To- The Editor:-
At the end of a tedious day, our
Summer night comes like a kind ben
ediction.
Chairs are placed in close commun-
ion on the lawns. A kindlier spirit,
induced by the high riding white
moon and cooler air, pervades fam
lily groups and gatherings of neigh
bors. Watermelons are sliced and
enjoyed with that gustatory appetite
peculiar to Southerners. The night
air is permeated with the incompar-
able odor of open melon hearts.
Children search for the big dip
per in the stars. They tiptoe to
place their hands on tree trunks and
stop the song of locusts. Dogs nose
toads in the walk.
The faint scents Of. abelias and
boxwoods mingle with the spicy
odors Of zinnias and marigolds in the
garden. Trees make eerie shadows.
| Night seems ancient, more ancient
than, day. Solomon knew such
nights, and Caesar, and Napoleon.
! Within the dimly lighted house,

To Motorists and Parents OF

To Motorists and Parents OF
Salisbury School Children:
With the r%e-opening of schools this
week, it is highly important that
motorists and parents as we'll as the
police department and other agencies
give thought to the danger of acct
dents near the schools. Motorists
should not need to be told by police
officers to slow down and drive care
fully when passing school buildings.
Those who will not observe the
ssschool zone" traffic regulations
should be promptly brought into
court. Parents should carefully warn
their children, especially young ones,
to take proper precautions in cross
ing streets. With proper care and
precautions on the part of all con-
cerned, there should be no accidents
resulting from the re-opening of the
schools.

SEVEN YEARS OF RAILROADING

SEVEN YEARS OF RAILROADING
A Statistical Railroad Summary for 1925-193l has
just been issued.
The principal deductions to be gained from it are
that the rails have steadily lowered their cost of opera
ton, have made remarkable progress in achieving fur
Their economies, have increased the speed and efficiency
of operation, have advanced the safety Of both pas
sengers and employes-and have seen their earnings drop
lower and lower.
Many, many moons have passed since the rails were
able to earn the 5-3-4 per cent on their investment,
held to be a fair return by the transportation Act.
Not since they were returned to private hands 'fter
the war have earnings been that high. During the first
six months of this year, for example, their earnings
were at the average rate of but 1.01 per cent on their
investment.
How long this state of affairs can continue has been
a burning question for several years. Either we give
the railroads a fair deal, by subjeceing their competi-
tors to the same type Of regulation as we subject the
railroads, or the future of transport is black indeed.
If the railroads go to the wall, the public will be the
principal sutherland it will suffer plenty! No it
dustry is more necessary to our social and economic
well-being. Mr.. Average Citizen should realize that
he is vitality interested in this situation.

UNDER ANOTHER NAME

The first problem, of course, is not preventing the
return Of the saloon but the regulation or abolition
of the speakeasy. The saloon has never been abolished.
1t merely changed its style, invited in the young girls
and went on doing business, calling itself a speakeasy.

PRINTER NAMED C. o. P.

The year the Grand Old
Party nominated James G.
Blain for the presidency
(1884), a young printer by
the name of T. B. Dowden
turned up in the shop of the
Cincinnati Gazette looking
for work.
The Gazette took him on
and one morning at 2:30
o'clock, just before the Ga
zette went to press, Dowden
took from the news hook a
piece of copy mark: Must
go in ten lines" Setting ten
lines solid, he frantically
tinkered the spacing, t h e n
appealed to the foreman:
my copy ends with Grand
Old Party and l have two
words left over. What shall
| do?"
Throw them away and
use your intelligence" eX-
ploded the busy foreman.
"Cut 'em short, get 'em in,
abbreviate m, use initials.
Do something and hurry up.
This page is late !"
Next morning on the front
page of the Gazette appear
ed this sentence: "The Hon.
James G.. Blain will address

vements of the Cop"

concluding a two-hour Re-
publican harangue when a
voice cried from the gallery:
'Why don't you tell us some
thing about t h e Cop and
what it did?
Blain retorted: "Why,

about the Cop all evening.
