NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE INDUSTRIAL TURNIP

Industry is beginning to show operating profits
again. after three long years of financial drought
That will come as good news to investors, work
ers and the general public. But the road ahead
isn't entirely strewn with roses There is an OBJ
stacle in the way of dividends, jobs and progress
That obstacle is taxation.
Anyone who reads the annual reports of the
larger American corporations cannot help being
impressed by their tax payments. In various IN
stances-such as utilities-tax increases and new
special taxes have been sufficient to more than off,
set any rise in earning power. The investor-whlch

has never been so heavily penalized for his thrift.
Management has never had poor chance to
produce results from efficiency and farsightedness.
At the moment the country is enthusiastically
endorsing the NRA plan for putting men back to
work. Business has responded gratifyingly. But
it must be realized that the best of intentions are
useless unless one has the means with which to
carry them out. Employers want to raise wages
and lower working hours-but they can't pick
money from the air. And the tax collector is max
ing it increasingly difficult to operate or make e
profit.

Carolina with an illteracy ratio below the average
for the United States. There is no county in the
state with a native white iiteracy rate as low as
the national average.
New Hanover county has the lowest native white
iiteracy rate, IT per cent. Yancey has the nigh
est native white illiteracy rate, 1910 per cent
Dare also has the smallest total number of il
Iiterates with only 161. Mecklenburg with 1913
has the largest total number of illiterates. There
arc tsn counties in each of which are more than
five Thousand ilterates.
Scotland county has the highest illiteracy rate,
with 222 per cent of all whites and negroes ten
wears of age and over illterates. This is not due
altogether to the large negro ratio in the county.
The native white illiteracy rate is 1913 per cent,
and only five counties have higher ratios. Her
negro lliteracy rate is 314 per cent, the highest
of anv county in the state that has enough negroes
to count.
Ilteracy is still major problem in North Caro-

Only four states have more ilhterates, white,
negro and foreign-born.
Only one state has a larger number OF native
white illiterates.
Only three states have higher native white IL

Five states have more illiterate negroes, all with

OPINION OR EMOTION

At the present moment, when the principle of
the freedom of the press strangely enough is be-
ing brought up as a question to be determined the
statement of Dean Carl w. Alderman, of the Co.
lumbia University School of Journalism is some
thing to be read with interest and good deal Of
enlightenment.
1t is Dean Ackerman's contention that free
press which will print facts and opinions, freely
every day. is as essential to the as it is
to the people.
Without it-this free press-there will be an
unhealthy situation, with suppressed word-of-mouth
the government and in the President and in his
every undertaking, very quickly.
There be no effective substitute for the free
and complete publication of news and editorials
even when they are unfavorable to the govern
ment, in Dean Ackerman's opinion.
1t is probably true, hesays, that Gas the news
papers of the United States are older than our
present form of government, and as their freedom
is guaranteed by the constitution they are not liza
bic to suffer permanently from either an official or
an inspired boycott
And his assertion is worth pondeirng carefully
that "in this emergency the government needs a
free press, because national unity based on public
opinion is far more reliable and lasting than public
opinion based upon public emotion"
For without free press there can be no intelli-
gent public opinion, only public emotion.-Rock

er, named Shakespeare.
Well, l wish other women
and men too-were that way.
The talking here in Western
North Carolina is a fearful thing
in the summer time. The visitor
must have been awfully busy or
mighty held down back home, the
way they turn loose up here.
They have those spiel-fests at the
assemblies where the preachers
and the doctors and the experts
and the specialists and the jour
nalists and the, beauticians and
the new-thoughters and the true
blues and the modernists and the
fundamentalsts and everybody
but the observation-disclosures and the
lawyers Chose two are too busy
hopping up and too smart to
talk now and tell all about
everything to most everybody; and
we fishermen and farmers and
boarding houses must just grin
and bear it. We know how they
will talk about US when they go
home because we hear how they
talk about the folks they left be-
hind in the hot belt.
Two mighty big men didn't
talk much. Old Genghis Kahn
had two stock sentences-"Obey
me-" or "cut his head off"
Moses most generally said "Obey
God" or $50 to Egypt" which
was the worst place he could
think of just then. But Demos
themes talked so much they ban
ished him; and Cicero GRATED un-
til Antony cut off his head.
Those were the days when peo-
pie couldn't stop a fellow by

"Let the women keep silent in
the churches"-I suppose so they
could hear him preach.
Sally sometimes slips. That's
because she does not always give
me credit for at least little

plain the reasons for my words

not too perfect, for how would
