NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
A DUBIOUS DIRGE

Too many dry today is wet-Wth tears From
the Bowery to the Barbary coast murmurs the
mournful lay, "The saloon is coming back" Now
saloon unless vigorously opposed, will soon shed
its beams on many street corner now lighted only
by shoe, and clothing and food shops. But it need
not be foregone conclusion that the saloon IS
coming back. For it will not be unoppOsed.
Introduction into legislatures of such bills as
the Dunngan BILL now under consideration at AL
bany should not take dry forces by surprise. This
bill which would permit the opening of saloons III
New York state, is just one Of many signals that
the battle against the saloon has begun again
The saloon is not coming back without fight.
Public-spirited citizens will oppose it because OF
its social and political effects on the community.
Parents will oppose it because of the temptations
it would open up to their children. Foresghted
property owners may well oppose it because of its
destructive effect on real estate values in whatever
neighborhood it gains a foothold.
Should the saloon come back, the dirge makers
can take some of the credit for its return. If pre-
prohibition days are to return, the picture of sa-
looms on every corner is just the sort of scene
that Americans must be re-educated to enjoy.
Liquor interests may listen to the sOrrowful lui-
laby. but it will not put them to sleep, though it
may convince some drowsy drys that the saloon Is
on its way.
So let's put the handkerchief away. Let's
change the tune little The saloon is coming
back? The saloon is trying to come back.--The

Will Rogers is making big fight on
tax-exempt bonds. Will contends that all
bonds should be taxed, and figures that if
all the tax-exempt wealth in the country
paid its share of taxes the country's tax
problem would be solved. Rogers is right.
Wealth in every form should pay just
proportion of taxes. The taxing of tax
exempt bonds would provide large
amount of revenue; and it would have an
additional and far-reaching result; it
would increase the popularity of other ih-
vestments. We might then hope to see the
day when, instead of draining all the
money of the country into the bond mar
ket, industry and business would be able
to secure capital to carry on and develop
the country. ,E , FIRE s $

The only certain way for the people OF
this section to crawl out of the deep hole
into which the depression has dumped
them is the way of self-help. They must
do 1t by hard work. They must depend
upon themselves and their own resources.
That they are driving in this direction is
evidenced by signs on all sides. For exam
pie, take the case of the country people:
They are busy; they are taking up the
years farm work with will; they arc
planning for abundant crops. Unless all
signs fail, the largest acreage cultivated
in Henderson county in many years will be
under cultivation this year. 1t may prove
to be the largest acreage ever cultivated il,

DOES EUROPE NEED WAR?

In he midst of Uncle Sans spring houseclean-
ing of banks, industry, and politics, there comes
turbulent note of alarm from the east, where
Europe seethes with unrest. The cry is Of war,
one that we have learned not to take lightly. Ia
years past Americans paid small attention to Eu-
ropean strife. During the years of friction in the
Balkans we went on way, unheeding the storm
that was brewing into terrific flame with the as
sassination of the Austrian archdukG ut SaravcJo.
In the tragic years of 1917 and 1918 we learned
bitter lesson; non-participation for three years
inevitably led us into armed conflict. The years
since which have seen the almost complete up
heaval of our national financial and economic struc-
ture, certainly should have impressed upon our
consciousness the fact that does not pay. We
red god Mars. For years to come money that
should go into educational and social service chan
nes will be diverted into payment of the World
war
War talk in Europe today is more bitter than
has been since the Armistice. Mussolni in Italy
makes display of Latin power; Hitler interspcrses
his dctatorial threats upon a seemingly supne
German people with shouts of another conflict.
Russia has been preparing for decade for war
that it believes inevitable Stain has put into the
nVe-year plan lnTedCS Oh VIOLENCE 10 oNIeI Couil-
tries that oppose Russia's Communistic policies.
France has long had an eye to future aggression,
such as t~has faced for centuries. She is not
but that Germany would recover her rich territory
on this side of the Rhine. England fears war from
any side.
Europe should have learned q lesson from CEN
turtles of conflict but apparently it has not. Since
the early days of the Christian era, the strip Of
land between Germany and France has been bit
terly fought over; first it has been Germanic and
then Gallo territory Poland and Silesia, the Bal!
kans, and the Attic peninsula have long been
breeding places of territorial disputes. But after
all these wars, no country seems to have profted
greatly. Losses in men and property have more
than offset other gains. Treasures bequeathed
from the storehouses of art have been lost to fu-
ture generations. Nationalistic feelings Of hos
tility and distrust have been kept alive.
France lost FIVE million in dead and injured in
the last conflict. England, Germany, Italy and
other countries lost almost in proportion. The
United States lost more than hundred thousand
and spent billions.
The visit of Premier Macdonald to Rome lends
hope that Anglo-Italian friendship may be &C.
mented into an armed hostility to war; itself
President Roosevelt's open intention to have this
country sit in with European states in councils of
peace gives us some hope that our influence and
example may be the means of preventing another
break in world progress Charlotte Observer.

The farm relief bill'' will probably re-
lieve President Roosevelt of some of his
reputation as a statesman. Every attempt
made by the government to relieve" the
farmers has ended in disaster. All govern
ment farm relief plans are contrary to eco
nomic laws. The only plan ever discovered
to annul economic laws is the high tariff
system, and that has never worked to the
relief of the farmers.
