To THE Police Officers of the
City, County and State:
To those of you who participated
in keeping law and order in our city
Monday, May 3oth, 1 extend my
thanks and praise and commentator
of the entire ~populace.
1t wasn't so much what happened
the problem confronting you was
one of preventing or prohibiting the
development of a serious situation.
Propaganda which had been spread
by alien communists several days be-
fore the May Both celebration arrived,
was of the type and caliber to cause
trouble. No person or group of per
sons, can malign the American legion
publicly and long survive. No person,
or group of persons, can undermine
our government. with rotten literature
and false doctrines.
However, in some sections and I'M
der certain conditions they can cause
an outburst of strife than can reach
large proportions, the proper handling
of which would be difficult. This has
happened in different parts of the
country from time to time.
Because of your diligence and pre-
caution, | am convinced serious trou-
bic was avoided in our fine city. can
not over-estimate-and you cannot re-
ceive too much credit for handling
this situation in such an excellent man
ner.
Praise and a large mount of COM
mendation also goes to those individ-
uals and organizations who co-operat-
ed with the police.

To THE Housebolders of Salisbury:
When you have cleaned your yards
and roof cutters and all other places
on your premises where mosquitoes
could breed, you still are liable to be
bothered by the pests unless you give
attention to the basement drains.
These drains, designed to take water
from the basement into the sewer lines,
have traps that always contain small
quantities of water. The water, when
allowed to stand for weeks, becomes
stagnant. 1t has been amply demon
strated hat mosquitoes breed in them.
The remedy is to flush the drains &C.
casionally by pouring a bucket of
fresh water, or, perhaps better, pour a
small quantity Of kerosene or used
motor oil in them. l am advised that
mosquitoes have been found breeding
in these drain traps when there was
no other place on the premises where
they had a chance.

A MILE OF RAILWAY

A recent editorial in Railway Age" asks:
"Would you like to own a mile of railway?"
1t then shows the tax report the proud owner
of this average mile would file.
His investment in property in the mile of
line would have amounted to $4,000 in
1881, as compared with 100000 in 1925 and
$10S,500 in 1880. The transportation of
freight would have produced $13,410 in 1881
and $4,000 in 1929, and $685. in 1880.
Passenger traffic would have brought ST.
766 in 1881, 1901 in 1929, and $1,000 in
1850. Combined with revenue from other
sources, such as the mails, his gross revenues
would have amounted to $17,445 in 1881, and
s2e,2o4 in~1e2e, and .$22, o1s in1e3o. 7e-'oe
Expenses for maintenance of roadway,
buildings, equipment and so on, would have
cen $l3,447 in 1881, as compared with $751;
791 in 1929 and $16,3S5 in 1880. He would
still have to pay taxes and rentals for equip
ment and jointly used facilities. These items
would have reached a total of $1,S11 for 1881,
$1,9S7 for 1880 and $2,162 for 1929.
Thus, our owners net return on an invest
ment we'll in excess of 100000, would have
been $2,187 in 1881, 1921 in 1929 and 3d.
646 in 1930-or 1913 per cent, 4.95 per cent
and 3.36 per cent, respectively.
Even in years of intense, inflated prosper
ity the roads were unable to earn a return of
as much as five per cent-and now their prof.
its have dropped to the vanishing point. Of
all great industries, the rails are in the most
precarious position-and no industry is more
necessary to industrial development and the
public welfare. That is worth thinking over.

ONE E A

The detailed statement Of operating receipts
and expenses of the American railroads has
recently been issued for 1880, the last year for
which complete details are now available.
1t is an interesting document and of i'm
portance to every investor, every worker, ev-
cry citizen. During the year the total operat-
ing receipts from all sources were slightly over
1921, 900, 900. More than 81, 900, 600, 900 of
this was required to keep property going
wages and cost of operating equipment. After
deducting taxes, rent of leased roads, interest
on borrowed money-paid to more than L.
000,ooo holders of bonds and equipment trust
certificates-and total fixed charges, $685.
100000 was left, to which was added net mis-
cellaneous income of something less than
$3l 1000, 900.
Cash dividends on railroad stock-an aver
age return of six per cent on total stock out
standing, which represents nearly half of the
roads invested capital and is owned by 852,-
31S persons-totaled $497, 000, 5000. Thus, the
railroads were not only left with a deficit of
1,167,o 900, but had absolutely nothing
available for investment in new railroad facili-
ties, or for making up deficiencies incurred in
previous years, or for creating reserves for bad
years in the future.
This is a serious state of affairs-and the
importance Of it is easily imagined when we
realize that the railroads have been the great
est employers of labor and purchasers of sup
plies in the nation. Their problem is every
body's problen-and what is finally done to
solve it will affect us all.

RETURN TO FUNDAMENTALS

In a recent address Governor Richie of
Maryland declared that there is need "for a
return to those fundamentals which at other
times assured us a government under the Con-
s%titution and liberty under the Bill of Rights"
Federal usurpation of the powers and re-
sponsibilities of the States is destroying rights
and privileges of the individual, and steadily
weakening self-government. 1--WE see theories
of public ownership, excursions Of Govern
ment into business fields where Government
does not belong and unnecessary public COM
petition with private industry, all doing vio-
lence to American institutions and putting
the mortmain of government on the creative
and competitive impulses of the American
people" he said.
The American people of this generation have
had an unprecedented opportunity to observe
what happens when the Federal Government
broadens its sphere of activity. Our lives, both
in their business and social phases, are, to a
constantly increasing degree, coming under
the control of official dictatorship.
We cannot afford to temporize with bu-
reaucracy. There is no end to the politicians
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1932-06-03
WHERE OUR O IN GOES

We often consider the debt ridden condi-
ton of foreign countries and pat ourselves on
the back because the United States is not in
the same boat. But if the trend of recent years
continues, it won't be long until we are.
In 1900, the per capita cost of the Federal
government was $7.29, and it increased ten
per cent in the next 16 years. In 1881, the per
capita cost was $34.37-an increase OF 500 per
cent in IS years. According to a Treasury esti-
mate the combined deficits of 1881, 1882 and
1893 will increase the Federal debt by the neat
of $3,250,000,000, bringing the total debt
to the staggering total of $19,24o, o0o, 900.
1t is a favorite political practice to blame
all this on the war. To a certain extent, that
is fair enough. But it is likewise true that many
departments of the Federal government have
proven inept, inefficient and wasteful. The
Farm Board has spent the greater part of
$500, 900, 900 in an effort to maintain prices
on certain commodlties-and has made a
monumental and predestined failure of it. Two
hundred millions more is being poured into
Boulder Dam. The Postoffice is one long de-
ficit. The Government operates ships at a loss
the Shipping Board appropriation in 1880
was 81 ,494, 900. And, to go back a few years,
the Government sunk 9I,oOU,OuO,OOU Willie IL
was running the railroads.
The condition of the states is even glodmier
while Federal expenditures were increasing
$50 per cent between 1908 and 1923, the
states were more reckless yet, with a 900 per
cent increase. Every family in the country is
saddled with a government debt Of $1,000!
The thoughtful citizen will wonder if we
are not approaching a tax crisis-a point be-
yond which we cannot pay. And he is liable
to come to the conclusion that the progress of
the country demands government retrench-
ment and economy, no in a vague future, but
right low.

AUTOMOBILE SALES TAX DANGEROUS

The proposed Federal excise tax IN auto
mobiles, if adopted, will mean the further pen
~alization of the automobile owner-who, in
the aggregate, now pays special motor taxes
t~otaling more than $1,000, 0oo, 900 a year. It
will, further, discourage the buying Of auto
mobiles and cause a decrease in income from
other taxes such as license and registration
fees, and, most important of all, gasoline tax
es. According to the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce, the imposition of the
Federal tax, as suggested, on vehicles, tires,
parts and accessories would make the average
buyer of a new car pay an additional tax of
81 the first year of operation.
1t may not be generally known that at pres
,ent motor vehicles are the highest taxed form
of non-luxury property. An automobile own
-er pays taxes amounting to Is per cent an
nually on the average value Of the vehicle
during its lifetime, as compared with annual
real estate taxes on urban land of "a per cent,
and 1.6 per cent on farm land.
In brief, the Federal sales tax would be dis
criminatory, would burden small incomes,
would curtail employment and would retard
business recovery. 1t would be a factor in pro-
longing depression. Congress should see that
the proposal goes into the discard.

To the Voters of North Carolina:

To the Voters of North Carolina:
In your keen desire for complete re-
turns on the senatorial, gubernatorial
and other contests in the primary next
Saturday night and Sunday morning,
do not overlook the fact that the polls
close about two and a half hours later
than in the November election and
that the counting of the ballots is a
more difficult and slower process. In
the fall elections the count is usually
completed in about every precinct by
midnight, while in the June primaries
it is to be expected that in some pre-
cincts in about every county the count
will not be finished before daylight or
even sunrise Sunday morning. The
precinct officials cannot start count
ing until after sunset, which will be
7:30 or later, and then every individ-
ual name on each ballot must be
counted separately, while in the cleo
lions the contests are between two
parties instead of several individuals
and in most instances all names on the
ticket can be checked at one opera
ton.
At best the returns that can be had
Saturday night from close contests
will be unsatisfactory, far more so
than the returns in the November
election, for the reasons stated.
But if you would like to have the
hours and day of the primary chang

stop the trend-cut paternalism off at the
roots and demand an immediate and complete
Federal r%etrenchment that will lift burdens of
legislation and taxation and give us again those
fundamentals of which Governor Richie so
~eloquently speaks. .
