CHARLOTTE'S RICH DOSE

Charlotte citizens got rich dose of official in
efficiency as exhibited by members of the Queen
City fire and police departments.
Two firemen mbibed little too freely of the
cup that cheers. Then after breaking the law Of
common sense that a fireman should not partake OF
hard liquors, the two men raced their car through
Charlotte streets at pace estimated by spectators
at sixty miles per hour. The car swerved to the
left side of the street, ran into pole and partly
demolished the machine.
That bad enough.
But along came the police apparently discovered
who the culprits were, and fastened them to the
privacy at the rear of filling station Protecting
their buddes was first duty, it seemed
That also was bad enough.
Then the police, so newspaper reports say, failed
to report the accident to headquarters until public
sentiment demanded some action in the case.
And that was bad enough.
Great stuff, this habit of police or fremen en-
gaging in liquor drinking. One of the first require
ments that should be demanded of applicants for
either of the above named municipal departments
is that of complete somriety. Surely there are no
more important posts for sober folks than in those
departments where men are given the serious duty
of protecting life and property. If man is only
an infrequent imbber he has no place on police or
fire departments. He is good candidate to leave
off the force.-ROek Hill IS. c. Herald

So a reasoned, relatively un2-

words OF Administrator Johnson.
Is to get Us all to spend to the
limit OF our prudent needs
The threat of higher prices will
be used, however. Speeches and
advertisements will explain why

specific items. Higher labor costs

NOT WHAT 1T USED TO BE

This talk of taking the 100000 gallons Of
whiskey, rum and brandy now in the warehouses
Of the country and converting the supply of hard
liquors into 100000 gallons of blending pro-
cesses Justihes correspondent of The New Yorl;
Herald-Tribune in the question which he raises,
What is whiskey?"
Years ago, this correspondent recalls, when
Theodore Roosevelt president and Dr. Harvey
W. Wiley was administrator of the pure food and
drugs act, quite battle was waged around this
issue DR.. Wiley would not let the distillers sell
blended products such they are now talking
about as "whiskey' If they were going to label a
product whiskey, he demanded that it be what it
said it was.
The president stood behind Dr. Wiley in this DO
sltion but later in Mr.. Taft's administration, the
"rectiiers" and blenders" won the right to call
their liquor "whiskey," the labels stating that 1t
was blended" This fact was usually put in small
type. The blenders advertising their intentions

THE POLITICIANS ARE SoUIRMING

The CaStonia Gazette has forwarded to
State officials a QUESTIONABLE designed to
place them on record as for or against re-
peal of the 18th Amendment; and The
Charlotte News reports that the aforesaid
officials are "Squirming" as they prepare
TO answer the questions of the GastOnia
newspaper.
We don't know what the Charlotte
newspaper actually knows about the ply
steal or mental condition of State officials
in this connection; but The Times-News
knows that if the politicians are not
squirming now they will squirm in the flu
ture as a result of the desperate efforts of
many of them to side-step the liquor issue
at this time 1t is characteristic of pOlitl-
clans to squirm; but there will be develop
ments in the future which will make them
squirm.
The politicians, whether militantly wet
at present or discreetly Gas they believe)
silent on the liquor question, are going to
face conditions in the future that will
make their squirming in the past and at
present a third rate exhibition in cOmpari-
I son with their contortions in the years TO
come.
There are several hundred thousand
, voters in North Carolina who are eternally
! opposed to the liquor traffic; and after the
November election they are going to have
and preserve the numbers of the politicians
, who are now actively engaged in CAM
: paign to give the beer baronS and the dis
tillers a strangle-hold on North Carolina.
And along with these they are going to
class and catalogue those politicians who
are so impresSively silent on the issue,
when the economic, social and moral well
fare of the State demands champions.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
HOW DO THEY DO IT?

Peculiar that the tobacco growers are forever
yelling about being paid nothing for their weed,
considering the amount of it that is being used i'll
the manufactures.
Yet no more peculiar than the circumstance that
the manufacturers can show profits year after year
after they have paid the growers what little they
do get. and after that, pay the government six
out of every ten cents coming in from pack Of
cigarettes, in taxes, beside all they pay IN local
and state levies.
And out of that 10 cents must also be extracted
the profit that goes to wholesalers, distributors and
retailers.
To be able to make any money at all after al!
of this bleeding is bit of wizardry as difficult to
understand as why the producer is always furnish
ing the raw material for nothing.-The Charlotte

FARM INCOMES
ARE INCREASED
Are Boosted Over a Billion
Dollars Since Last
February
By ARTHUR F. DEGREyE
Ir;ted Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Sept. 27' CUP
billion dollars has been added
to the gross incomes of farmers
since last February, DR.. Frederick
c.. Howe, consumers counsel OF
the agricultural adjustment ad-
ministration, said Monday night:
Though the gross income OF
the farmer has increased gratlty-
ingly, the prices he must pay for
nece ssaries also have gone up,
DR.. Howe said figures gathered
bv his office revealed.
The purchasing power of the
farmers dollar in March was
only 80 per cent Of that existing
during the 1910-l914 period. 1t
had risen to "a per cent on Sep

ed out, it still was far below the
81 per cent of 1880 and 81 per
cent of 1929.

gigantic scheme to eliminate sur
pluses through reduction in acre
age and exporting Of various
crops will add even more wealth
to the farmers bank account III
the spring, Howe predicted.
As Howe painted this brighter
picture Of the farmers status,
representatives of agriculture
jumped back into the fight for
Initiation in the face Of over
whelming indications that Presl-
dent Roosevelt was determined
to avoid artificial cheapening of
the dollar through issuance Of

ture of capitalism.
For if the farmer ought to keep on rails
ing wheat and cotton and corn and pork
even though he cannot do it profitably, so
long as there are people who need these
things, then by the same token the indus
triahst ought to keep his factory wheels
humming so long as there are people who
need the things he makes, whether they
can pay his price for them or not. And
about the time you begin admitting that,
YOU find yourself wading in very deep
waters.
The best thing about the whole farm
program, perhaps, is that it makes this
moral clear to us. 1t may work or it may
not; while we are finding out we are going
to get an education, and our future steps
may we'll be taken in the light OF the les
sons we are learning right now.

ECONOMICAL PARADOX
(By BRUCE CATION

Uncle Sans effort to help the farmer by
blowing under cotton, limiting wheat acre
age and killing several million hogs is eco
lnomically unsound and morally wrong.
That, at any rate, is the verdict reached in
a resolution adopted by the Ohio Method
lists recent state conference.
( 1t is a verdict that a whole lot of people
will accept. No part of the recovery pro-
gram seems more contradictory than this
destruction of the raw materials for food
land clothing at time when millions o.
people have neither enough to eat nor
enough to wear.
/ Yet it is a contradiction that is not
peculiar to the farm program. 1t lies at
the very heart of the capitalist system, and
1T involves the fundamental conflict be-
tween production for use and production
for profit. The whole recovery program is
simply an attempt to settle that conflict
1t does not take much thought to enable
zone to see that destroying cotton, wheat
and pork when millions are in need OF
,clOthing and food is precisely similar to
Iletting great factories lie idle when mil
lions need the things that those factories
can make. If it is absurd to reduce agri-
cultural production, it is equally absurd to
reduce Industrial production.
The farmer is as much capitalist as the
factory owner. If the factory owner can
mot be expected to produce more than
ipeople will buy at price which yields a
profit, neither can the farmer.
But stating the parallel in this way does
mot really get us anywhere. 1t simply
shows how fundamental these objection.

EVIDENCE OE GUILT

The terrorist threats and the plotted kidnapping
of the daughter of the Governor of Arkansas, to
prevent conviction and bring about the freedom
of the notorious Harvey Bailey and members of
MS gang, marks everyone of the men concerned
as vicious and dangerous public enemies and is
sufficient and positive evidence of their criminal
guilt.
The men are known professional and desperate

They do not even attempt to deny it.

MAPPING for which they are wanted in the present
occasion, they are without any sort of doubt a

menace to society.
Whether they be convicted of these par
tcular crimes by the ordinary processes of law
now in vogue, they certainly should never be
turned loose again to have the opportunity to rob
and kidnap and kill as they certainly would be
expected to do-Rock Hill IS. c. Herald.
