A RACE TRACK REFERENDUM

The people of Mcdowell county are going to
have an opportunity of deciding by their votes as
to whether they want race track gambling not.
A bill calling for a referendum on this question
was gotten through the legislature by Represen-
tative Neal under suspension of the rules in one
hours time This was fast work and maybe it was
the only way the bill could have been passed. And
now an election has been called and judging from
what the Mcdowell News says about the matter IS
going to be pretty hot one The election will
have statewide interest The following excerpts
are taken from an editorial of the Mcdowell
News:
"Now, we have foisted upon us special cleo
ton. costly one and the taxpayers of the coun-
ty will have to bear the burden. But were it only
the cost of holding this election and ending the
matter the burden would not be half so great as
that of having gambling center that would at
tract the touts, the bookmakers, the racketeers,
the scum and the riff-raf of the nation to the
county to park squatters for period of slx
weeks twice each year; to have set up in the coun-
ty par-mutuel betting machines by law which
would make Marion known as the North Carolina
Capital of Gambling.
"The special horseracing election is coming. a
bitter fight is going to be made. Money is going
to be spent Friends are going to be lost. The
churches are going to be split and political affEa-
tions of long standing are going to be busted wide
Open The act may carry; and if it does, the DEM
ocratic party may bid farewell to its control of
the affairs here if it does not the leaders may be
able to patch their ring together and salvage a
part of the offices two years from now, provided
their talk and their actions coincide. "-Beaufort

MISUNDERSTANDING THE VETERANS

We do not believe the World war veterans OF
the present Bonus EXpeditionary Force" in Wash
ington, who so coolly turned down President
Roosevelt's proposition to find work-and pay
for them in his "FOrest Conservation army, fair
ly represent the great body of men who helped to
save the world as we believed, in 1918.
We do not believe that man Maurice Miller,
whoever he may be, represented the American
soldier when he fatty refused the presidents Of
fer with most kindly intentions, to provide places
for $4,000 unemployed veterans in the conserva-
ton corps, with the impudent assertion that none
of the men are going to do any work like that for
one dollar day."
He may have spoken for the men, Or some OF
them at least, who accompanied him to Washing
ton on the present bonus demand but certainly
not for the great body of those former soldiers Of
ours.
The nation, the government, and society as q
whole are apprecatve of the service and the sac
rifce of the men who fought for us, and even
those who made ready to fight but had no oppor-
tunity actually to do so.
But the suspicion is justifable that Miller, and
men like him who misrepresent this great body OF
American manhood desire not so much fair treat
ment or employment of any sort, as the oppol-
tunity to get something out of society which they
have not earned.-Rck Hill IS. c. Herald.

RALEIGH, May 22.-The loss
from fires in North Carolina in
April was only about half as
great as the fire loss in April,
1892. according to figures releas-
ed today by Commissioner of In
surance Dan c. BOney. The loss
for April of this year was $254,-

April a year ago the loss was
1,722 from 273' fires.
Of the 2O9 fires in April, 1T
were in cities and towns with a
loss of $213,O50. In this number
and total are included "A dwell
ing fires an aggregate loss of
$44.12O. There were 90 rural
fires with a total loss Of SAL
435, of which 81 were dwelling
fires with a loss of $29,S75.
Que of the total Of 209 fires
in April, there were 10 fires IN
which the loss was $1,000 or
more each. causing an aggregate
loss Of $172,1O00 or an average
Of $1721 each. This leaves a
total Of only $4,000 as the total
loss for the remaining 1919 fires,
with an average loss of only $4l4
per fire. an unusually low record,
according to Commissioner Boney.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE 1,2Oo NEW LAWS

! The North Carolina Legislature of 1888 broke
all records in the number of bills introduced in lUs
more than fve-months session, the total reaching
almost 2,5OO-to be exact, 2,469. Less than half
the bills introduced were passed, although mora
than 1900 were enacted into law.
That is a large number of new laws to be placed
On the statute books in one biennium-an average
of more than 600 a year-and it is a safe assump-
ton that the state the counties and municipalities
would have been just as well off if the number
had been limited by so per cent or even rs per
cent.
However, it is not as bad as it sounds. The
record does not mean that there are 1900 new
laws that the individual citizen or any class OF
citizens must observe. Few of US will ever even
have to think Of any large percentage of the new
laws.
In the first place, only a comparatively few OF
them apply to the entire state The vast majority
of the individual measures passed apply only to
certain counties, municipalities localities. Many
of the measures of statewide application are
merely amendments to existing laws. Some of the
acts merely repeal laws that were previously on
the books, such for instance the law requiring
physical examination of persons before marriage.
Others, perhaps a large number deal with lega!
technicaties, involving procedure in certain types
of cases. the meaning of which perhaps would be
understood by none but lawyers.
The overwhelming majority of the bills passed
apply only to individual counties or municipalities,
and in many cases these but repeal acts hereto
fore in effect. Others merely make changes in the
salaries duties or authority Of local officials. Num-
bers of such measures apply only to MecklenburS
county, for instance. Many of the acts merely au-
thorize the officials of certain counties munich
paties to do certain things, such dsposing Of
an unusued public building Some merely abolish
or consolidate offices.
Outside of the matters involving taxation the
operation of the schools and the legalizatiOn of
beer few of the new acts will ever come to the
attention of the average citizen. Practically no
new laws were enacted that restrict otherwise
affect the personal conduct of the average citizen,
not even as to driving an automobile on the pub
lie highways. The individual citizen can do prac-
tically anything any day in the week, that he
could do last year, without coming into contact
with the law In fact he can do some things legal
ly that were not lawful when the legislature con-
vened.
So the average citizen does not have to worry
about the 1900 bills passed by the recent legis-
lature Very few of them will ever cross his path.
He has to worry over the few, not the many

PLAIN TALK ABOUT THE WAR DEBTS
(By BRUCE CATION

Owen D. Young's pungent remarks
about Americas responsibility for the
world depression is the kind of plain
speaking that we ought to have had long
time ago.
We insisted that the debts be repaid, he
says, and the only practical way in which
our debtors could pay us was by sending
Us their goods. We would not let them do
that, so they had to send us their gold :
and they sent it, Mr.. Young declares, I'M
til I'VE ruined the currency and banking
systems Of the world, including our own.
Now, having done all of this, we are
prepared to go into Mysteries on a mo-
ment's notice at the mere suggestion that
the London conference may result in a
scaling down, a partial or total cancella-
ton, of some of the sums owed US.
Ready to face the realities in every
other field, we have persisted in being
blind where the war debts are concerned
blind and, one might add, not little
dumb We have tried to put them in a
vacuum, where they could be considered
by themselves in all their pristine beauty
and because of this we have got farther
and farther away from contact with the
hard facts of the situation.
Is it just to put it that way? Is that a
viewpoint which an intelligent American
can conscientiously hold? Is Mr.. Young'S
summing up fair? Many people, probably,
will think not. Nevertheless, it is worth
considering.
Look back for a moment at the way in
which we have treated the war debts. We
have tried to insist that they bore no con-
nection whatever to any other phase OF
postwar politics or economics. We have
maintained stoutly that they had no rela-
ton with reparations-althOugh any in
FAINT might know that our former allies
would not pay us if Germany did not pay
them. We have sworn that they had no
relation with tariffs-though no reputable
economist would for Il moment admit that
point We used foreign loans to expand
our export trade in blithe ignorance of the
fact that that just increased the difficult
ties our debtors must meet in paying US.
1t looks, in short, very much as though
we have persistently deluded ourselves
about the debts ever since the war. Per-
haps it is about time that We listened to
people like Mr.. Young.
