WHAT ARE YOU VOTING FOR?

On the seventh of next November the voters, of
North Carolina are going to the polls to vote for
or against the repeal of the 18th Amendment.
There is a tremendous stampede on among the
masses, it seems, for repeal. A stampede is excit-
ing wild and dangerous.
In voting for repeal what are you voting for?
In the first place, you are voting for liquor. That
is certain; it is settled fact. :. Repeal means
liquor nation flooded with liquor, nation cursed
with liquor. -.
In voting for repeal you are voting for drunk
enness. Certainly. Liquor makes people drunk.
The more of it that is turned loose the more drunk
enness we shall see; the more drunkards will in
fest our homes, walk streets and run mad up
and down our highways.
In voting for repeal you are voting for the
wreck and ruin of youth, both boys and girls
. You know young people are already wild
enough today, but when they tanked up on
liquor they will be much wilder and more reckless
In voting for repeal you vote for wrecked homes
Liquor is a tremendous and merciless home de-
stroyer. -.
In voting. for repeal you are voting to take the
hard-earned money out of the hands of thousands
and millions of working men. You voting
to take the clothes off the backs of countless num-
bers of poor little children and food out of their
mouths.
Let's see if we can't save North Carolina
and set an example for the nation and the whole
world.-Walter .Isenhour, in Roxboro Courier.

THEY MEAN BUSINESS

The prohibitionists of Cleveland county
certainly mean business in their fight to
keep North Carolina dry. First, they en-
listed several thousand young boys and
girls and young men and young women in
an organization to fight the liquor traffic
and now they have signed up several thou
sand voters under pledge to vote dry on
November 7th and are printing the names
of these voters in paid space in The Cleve-
land Star The latest issue of that news
paper contains the first thousand names,
with the information that other thousands
will be printed from time to time.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF GOVERNMENT
EXTRAVAGANCE

! A Raleigh dispatch telling about the wage scales
under the Federal employment program reads as
follows:
''The wage scale of $11O an hour for skilled
workers and so cents an hour for unskilled set
up by the federal government for all public works
projects to be built with federal money, is tempt
ing State Director Capus NJ Waynick of the re-
employment service in North Carolina to start
practicing with hammer and saw in order to
qualify as a carpenter, rather than go back to
punching typewriter when his present Job ends.
'All skilled workmen, such carpenters, plumb
ers electricians plasterers and so forth, will get
minimum wage of $1.10 an hour on all public
works projects, Waynck said. "This amounts to
$3.50 for an eight-hour day or S44 week for
4O-hour week, which is not bad at all. Even the
unskilled workers will get minimum wage of 50
cents an hour or 81 day for an eight-hour day.
Several of the newspaper correspondents here
Immediately told Waynick they would join him in
taking up carpentering if he would agree to get
them jobs on public works projects A number of
school superintendent and principals also joined
in this request"
If the government thinks that any such wage
scale as the above can be maintained on public
works and not raise the ire of contractors, farm
ers and other employers of labor there is another
think coming.
Farmers can never compete with that scale of
pay. If the word gets out among farm hands that
unskied labor is earning SO cents hour there
will not be hand left on the place. Our relief
and employment bureaus will again be crowded
with people who prefer the charity wage scale to
that which they can the farm, or at pri
vate work.
1t is unthinkable to suggest such wage scale for
unskiled labor. Farm hands will desert the farm
by the wholesale and flock to the public works. No
farmer can compete with four-dolars-a-day labor
for ordinary manual work.
This is another example of the manner in which
the government wastes and scatters money. There
is no sense in paying that high wage scale. 1t is
the same principle on which government is wasting
millions on public buildings and projects which are
not NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Gazette.

TAXES AND REPEAL

In contribution appearing in The Star of We'd
nesday of last week. Mr.. Charlie McBrayer advo-
Gated repeal as a means of cutting down the ex-
pense of running the government. Said, he, "Our
people are determined to do something to reduce
taxes" With governments in the financial cOndi-
ton find them the old economy appeal and
the talk against taxes is mighty good propaganda,
but we find Mr. McBrayer is wrong.
Prohibition enforcement does not cost the tan
payers 1t does cost to maintain prisons but in the
administration of the prohibition laws for ten
years there was received in fines, seizures and
revenues, S264, 432, 200 more than paid out to
enforce the law 1t cost 26 cents per person to
enforce the law and 40 cents per person was re-
ceived This being the case, we can't believe any
body will vote for repeal with any degree of hope
that taxes will be reduced if the administrative
costs of the prohibition laws are cut out.-Cleve-
land Star.

Is an important factor in obsolescence
Of residential property. The housewife
OF today demands acces ssibility OF stores.
Main street in the big city has become
too far away. and the neighborhood
produce man, the grocer and also the
druggist are coming into their own.
I'VE now find a demand throughout
our suburbs for small houses with
grounds of moderate size, where few
years ago people wanted large houses
The servant question has been an i'm
portant factor in the change. But even
mere so has been the fact that women
who formerly devoted their entire day
now taken other interests in which their
thoughts center, such as civic better
ment, welfare, music, clubs and art,
and many have gone into commercial
businesses, and the centering Of their
attention upon the lavish show places
Of the past seems over.
"A few years ago real estate men
were asked by prospective purchase S
about the location Of churches, schools
and public libraries. Today there is a
new element, such as public garages,
drug stores, ice cream stores, moving
picture houses, golf courses, which.
believe most people will admit, are
fundamental in the plan of modern
community and which tend one way or
another to strongly influence real estate
values.

This leads us to the thought Of bet

has become an important factor In all
large cities and appears to be here to

"The first indication of renewed pros
pertty has always been a quickening Of
real estate activity. and the same will
probably be true in our present case.
Practically no building has been going
on for several years. AS soon as money
Is available for industry and unemploy-
ment can be corrected. the small mar
gin of vacant properties now existing
should be quickly absorbed.
But until there is a decided demand
for houses, builders would do well to
devote their activities to renovating and
improving properties which are already
built, many of which today are occu-
pied but at improbable rentals. and
there are other properties in our cities
which are untenantable but occupy
good space and pay taxes.

that this is the best time to make i'm

chased at reduced costs will 60 much
