COUNTY MERGERS

If the president had desired to add to the COM
pleteness of his program to bring about revolu-
ton in business and industrial arrangements of this
country by asking for authority to work some re-
forms in fiscal affairs, he could very wisely have
turned his attention to the issue of consolidation
of counties.
The last legislature of North Carolina passed an
act whereby it will be legal hereafter for such
counties to proceed as may have notion to unite,
but that was only clearing the path to consoda-
ton of some of its easier obstacles. In no sense
does such an act lend impetus or encouragement
to step that ought to be taken in this state and,
for that matter, all over the country.
The New York Evening Journal reciting the
circumstance that New York City is composed of
five separate county entities, is urging the merger
of all of them into one and what it says in extenua
ton Of its views applies to this state. 1t is this:
Counties are hangovers from hundred years
ago. They eat up taxes and give the taxpayers
little or no service in return They were useful in
the days of the ox-cart. In the days of the auto
mobile, they are about as useful as an ox-cart
would be on Broadway
There is no legitimate reason that North Caro-
lima should have 100 counties to multiply govern
mental expenses and to cumber up the ground in
the whole range of public services with useless of
fees. Mergers would bring immediate and far
reaching benefits in simplifcation of government
and tend to develop greater efficiency at less

A PRESIDENTS TIMELY WORDS
OF WISDOM
NV BRUCE CATTON)


Tn President Roosevelts remarks to the
forest army there was paragraph winch
ought to be tackled up where every citizen
could keep his eyes on it during the next
year or so.
That paragraph reads as follows:
"Too much in recent years large num-
bers of our population have thought OF
success as an opportunity to gain money
with the least possible work. 1t is time for
each and every one of us to cast away self
destroying, MISUNDERSTANDING efforts to get
something for nothing and to appreciate
that satisfying rewards and safe rewards
come only through honest work"
Here is one of those little observations
to which alb of us are ready to give lip ser
vice, but which we are not quite so ready
to put into practice in daily life.
The stock market is boiling up toward
the rim of the kettle these days, and a
good part of its rise can be accounted for
solely by the desire to get something for
nothing. The man who bought Amalga-
mated Clothespins at IL last winter and
sold out yesterday at 90 may be smart
fish, but he has enrolled himself among the
something for-nothing boys and any recov-
cry that takes place will come in spite of
him and not because of him.
For that man is symptom of national
disease; disease that came upon us most
virulently during the gay twenties and
which has had us flat or our backs for the
last four years
In the old days the country's admiration
went to its builders, its doors, its men who
got things done and made it possible for
their fellows to get things done.
The railroad builders, the steel builders,
the auto magnates and their brethren NAV
have been guided by some cloudy ethics
now and then and they may have profted
unduly occasionally-but at least they
gave the country definite return for their
wealth. .t 49,,
A decade ago we started shifting our
admiration to the clever lads who put IN
their booths at the crossroads and levied
toll on passing commerce; the men who
MADE their fortunes by juggling stocks,
who got rich not because they produced
something we needed but because they got
IN on the ground floor and let the elevator
carry them up.
ohiess we can turn our admiration hack
TO the builders instead of the takers, the
recovery which is now in progress will do
us precious little good. --.---.-. .,, 49,. :,

QUEEN MARY KNITS IL
COT COVERS FOR GUILD
Practically Entire Royal Family
Contributes to Movement.

By United Press
LONDON, Jan. 28.-There are
evenings when, official duties ended,
the king and queen spend homely
hour by the fireside, the king listen
ing to his phonog1aph and arrang-
ing his stamps, and the queen knit
ting.
There must have been quite a
few evenings recently when the
queens clicking needles played a
castanet accompaniment to the
Gilbert & Sullivan music, for it is
announced that she has knitted
twelve WOODEN cot covers of pale blue
and pale pink for the Queen Mary'S
London Needlework Guild.
Almost every member of the royal
family, including the king, the
prince of wales, the princess royal,
the duke and duchess of York and
the duke of Gloucester, have sent
gifts of money and clothing to the
guild.
The queen is not the only knitting
contributor. Her daughter, the
princess royal, has made two boys
jerseys, and her grandson, the
Honorable George Lascelles, has
Crocheted two scarves.
The queen is intensely interested
in the gold, and occasionally pre-
sides at the sewing bees herself.

GIANT FLYING BOATS
TO LINK CONTINENTS
Four Craft Will Be Put in Paris and
BuenOs Aires Service.
BIZ Times Special

By tines SDecldt
PARIS, Jan. 28.-Four giant fly
ing boats soon will be completed in
French factories to link Paris and
Busnos Aires in a six-day flying
service.
One airboat, the Latecoere, is
completed and undergoing tests, a
second is nearly ready for launch
ing from the Bleriot sheds, while
two others are being built by the
Loire and Brequet firms.
Ordered by the French air min
iStry last year, the flying ships are
prototypes. When they all have
been completed, the government will
call in the experts Of the AeropoS-
tale and request them to choose
the craft they consider most suit
able for the French South Ameri-
can air route
The requirements are that the
airboat should be able to cover the
5000 miles to the Argentine capital
in six days.
The Bleriot craft is estimated to
cost 100000 francs. 1t is manu-
featured to the design Of M. Philip
Zapata.
