THE MACHINE

In a recent article, DR.. James S.
Thomas, of the Commonwealth
and Southern Corporation, analy-
zed the machines effect on man
kind.
DR.. Thomas deductions are
| quite different from those of the
! critics of the machine, who blame
it for all the ills of mankind from
the Flood to the World War. He
shows that it constitutes the basis
of our modern economic world
that it has liberated men from ar
duous tasks, not enslaved them;
hat during most of its brief his
tory, it has created employment,
not unemployment; that it has
cut down accidents, not increased
them; that it makes for wealth,
comfort and a finer civilization
not a poorer one.
During a recent period in A
merican history, 100000 people
were displaced from jobs because
of increased mechanical efficiency
and at the same time new trades
and professions, largely resultn-
from the machine, gave jobs to D.
$4,000 directly and 100000
indirectly. In 40 years we in
creased our national income from
$4O0,OO0,000 to $8O,000,000,00 900,
and our national wealth from
$4,000 900, 900, and our nation
al wealth from $50O,000,00 to
$375, 000, 600, 00O-because OF the
machine.
The machine, after all, is sim
ply a medium to make use of nat
ural forces. 1t is part of evolution
an inevitable step in the march
of the world from the Stone Age
to the present and to whatever
may be in the future. And, after
the debts and credits have all
been entered, and the cancellations
made, it is found that the mach
ine has been the friend, not the
enemy, of "the common man."

SAVINGS TO HOME OWNERS

Many people are alert to money
saving possibilities in these days to
repair and remodel their property
at low cost. AS a result, numer-
Gus places have been improved in
appearance, convenience and COM
fort. Oftentimes living condi-
tons become safer, too.
To aid employment, the Cham
Der of Commerce in P%awtucket,
R. l., appointed a committee to
encourage citizens to modernize
and repair their premises. Money
was donated to finance publicity
to inform people of the program.
Men from construction and repair
companies were enlisted to solicit
home owners and interest them in
the project. So successful were
they that three-quarters of a mil
lion dollars were employed in bet
terment of dwellings and home
n were saved much money.
Other communities could profit
by following this plan.
The greater safety resulting
from proper repairing and remod-
cling of buildings should not be
overlooked, for it is of the utmost
importance.
The National Board of Fire I'm
derwriters, which is we'll inform
ed as to conditions, reports that
fire losses in dwellings increased so
per cent from 1924 to 1880, and
that this loss in 1880, $685.
023, was 81 per cent OF the ma
tons total fire loss.
This waste of material wealth
can be reduced by programs of
home betterment, particularly
when Improvements include fire
stops in walls to -retard spread OF
flames, fre-resistive ceilings Zee
ment on metal lath), cleaning ane
repairing of heating plants, smoke
pipes and ~chimneys, replacement
of worn parts and moving smoke
pipes a safe distance from all burn
able material. Electric wiring ane
fixtures should also be inspected
and made, to conform to safety re.
quirements of the National Elec'
trio Code. Cleaning up and paint.

KEEP GOOD M COMING

KEEP GOOD TIMES COMING
Judging from reports "better
times" are on the way. The job
ahead is to keep them coming. Ac-
ton is needed to hasten the ulti-
mate arrival.
Many more men must be put
to work so they can buy the food
and clothing their families need.
And it must be done with less
than the normal amount of mon
ey.
Fortunately, the desired result
can be accomplished by adopting
a policy of devoting the public
funds to the most useful and most
necessary affairs.
For instance, in the matter of
roads and streets, there IS no ques-
ton but that many more miles of
useable surfaces are essential.
These will be most useful when
the type of surface chosen provides
the greatest volume of people with
good roads. AS one authority says,
w all prefer plush seated linn
cuisines to Fords, but we do not
prefer to ride nine miles on horse
back through the mud SO as to be
able to ride a mile in a limousine
when we could make it all the way
over a cheap road in a Ford"
Ten miles of satisfactory" sur
face is much better than nine miles
of mud or dust and one mile of
excellent" road. Each improve
ment should be justifiable from
the standpoint of need and should
be within the size of the pocket
book.
In road and street building the
of the expenditure, not the
used, governs the num-
Der of men employed.

To All Candidates for

To AH Candidates for
The N. C. General Assembly,:
As many of you know, the State
Highway commission is working
over a serious shrinkage of reven-
ues from motor licenses and gaso-
line AK. Of course the economic
conditions are responsible, but it
is undoubtedly true that the de-
crease in revenue would not have
been SO great if the purchase Of Ii
cense tags had been made less burd-
ensome, by provision that they
could be purchased under some sort
of semi-annual or even quarterly
plan of payment. Had such a plan
been in effect at the opening of the
year, doubtless many more persons
would have bought new tags and
continued using gasoline, paying
the state six cents a gallon tax, in
stead of storing their cars, as tens
of thousands did.
If such a plan could be worked
out by the next Legislature, I be-
lieve it would tend to increase mat
erially the states revenue from
these sources as we'll as prove an
aid and accommodation to thous-
ands of car owners, many of whom
really need the use of their auto
mobiles every week in the year.

EARNS CHICKEN

Kinston.-Rev. J. c.. Griffin, a
minister holding a revival in the
neighborhood, dropped in" The
Deep Run home of Ernest Smith
to put out a fire. Passing, the
preacher discovered a barn in
flames. 1t was a pack-house, filled
with tobacco. He called a youth
standing nearby, and the two
drawing water from a pump ex-
tinguished the blaze, which a
minute later would have been be-
yond control. Smith, informed of
the minister's act invited him to
come back and eat all the chick
ems on the place."

THE
Tower r

Mr.. E. B. Jettress, Chairman,
State Highway Commission.
My Dear Mr.. Jeffress:
A study of the highway map Of
North Carolina, as you know, re-
veals the fact that the numbers
are largely without design or sys-
tenn, and tend to confusion of the
motorist not familiar with them.
There are comparatively few
through lines, and some of the few
are merely series of connected links
that ziggag here and yonder in a
sort of aimless fashion, starting at
some small town on one side of the
state and finally winding up at the
other side. Some of the most trav-
elled through routes, ons the other
hand, bear a series of different
number. The system of number
ing, or lack of system, presents a
more or less chaotic appearance on
the map.
Of course nobody is to blame for
this condition. 1t is the natural
result of the development of the
state highway system from moth
ing to its present status, scattered
links having been constructed all
over the state one year and other
such links and competing lines the
next. The unsystsmatic number
ing has been without intention or
design. However, the system of
numbering could be greatly sim
plifed, at trivial cost, as the gen.
eral rivision could be done by the
staff of already employed engi-
neers over a period of several mon
tbs. Would it not be worth while?

Regrets The Presence OF So Few
Gentlemen Among The Politicians
In Washington
To The Editor:
l have been asked as to what we
in Washington think of the doings
at the Capitol and in the courts
here, as we are rarely heard to ex-
press ourselves, and it is supposed
that we take little or no interest in
these matters. l would say that
we pay no attention to them for
the reason that we consider them
as evils thrust upon us all mostly
for political reasons and they sell
dom have the slightest background
of sincere truth. Good faith and
honest motive are seldom part of
many of the actions on Capitol
Hill.
We used to have many statesmen
here in Washington, but now it is
a family of backbiters. Everybody
is out to cut the other fellows
throat with the sharpest knife, and
it matters little who it is.
In my humble opinion, it would
be far better for America if we
were to close the Capitol and this
would give the country a we'll
earned. rest from an insidious evil
which is certainly lowering all re-
spect from every class of citizens.

New Road Favored
By Rep. Costello


L. ]. Costello, representative from
this district and candidate for re-
election on the Republican ticket is
one of the members of the last legis-
lature entitled to some credit for the
new road on the Island.
Costello actively supported Mr.. Nc
Kinnon. a member OF the Roads and
Bridge Committee, in his efforts to
land this appropriation.
OF particular interest to poultry
men is his support given to House
Bill 143. This bill made it unlawful
for anyone to sell or offer for sale
eggs from foreign countries unless so
stamped or advertised and provided
other rules and regulations under
which eggs may be sold in Washing
ton. This bill was to discourage the
use of Chinese eggs on the Pacific
Coast. The following letter received
by Mr.. Costello from Guy E. VanHorn
Of Bellingham, a member of the
Washington Egg and Poultry Assn,
and sponsor of the bill expresses his
sentiment of the work done in its be-
half by MIR. Costello.
Dear Mr.. Costello:
II see that you have again filed for
the Legislature to represent the peo-
pie in your district in the House of
Representatives I am very glad of
that and hope you will be elected.
Il think your people were well
represented, because remember you
as thoughtful, Woodworking man,
and want you to know that the
Poultry Folks Of the State appreciate
the members that voted for and stood
for the egg Bill to the last. You not
only voted for it, but you talked for
it on the floor of the House. What
this state needs as much as anything
else, is members of the State Legis-
lature who will vote their conviction
and stay with the thing as long as
they think they are right.
yours very truly,
Guy E. Van Horn
Bellingham, Wn.
Because of the good work Mr..
Costello will be able to do if returned
to the legislature the News-Record
unhesitatingly endorses him and
urges his return to olympia.

Experience As Farmer
Qualities For Coveraorship

Washington will have true son of
the soil Us governor II Clarence D.
Martin is nominated for governor on
the Democratic ticket September 10
and elected in November. Mr.. Martin,
now serving his third term as mayor
of Cheney, Spokane County, without
pay, was born at Cheney in 1886 and
is farmer, flour miller and general
business man.
1.-THE important thing now is to
nominate Mr.. Martin said a state
ment yesterday from A. e. Judd of
Chehalis, manager of the Martin for
Governor campaign. 1.-THE thousands
of enrollments in the Martin-for-
Governor Clubs indicate the wide
spread support of Mr.. Martin. From
country and city alike we are given
assurance that he will be elected If
nominated. The only way for his
supporters to nominate him is to go
TO the polls at the primary Septem-
Der 10 and demand Democratic
ballot.
1.-The excellent record Mr.. Martin
has made is widely known in the
state. He is well qualified to serve as
his states chief executive. He is in
the prime of life, family man, a
man with clean record of real ac-
complishment and a man familiar
with the problems Of the taxpayer
the farmer and the general business
man.
II wish every man and woman in
Washington might have a copy of the
complete program laid out by Mr.
Martin, that the voters may know
what he will do in the governors
chair. He does not talk in general
tiles, He tells specifically the exact
steps he will take. It is true that he
is not an orator in the strict sense Of
the word, but this is not time fol
oratory. This is time for intelligent
aggressive action by man of cour.
age, knowledge and high ideals. Ane
Clarence d. Martin is such a man"
