NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
TEACHERS SCARED TO SPEAK?

Discussing the low salaries being paid North
Carolina school teachers at a time when every eff
fort is being made to increase wages and salaries
The High Point Enterprise says:
1.-THE Raleigh News and Observer proclams that
public school teachers of North Carolina are liter
ally afraid to express publicly their views and con-
yictions on school matters for fear of losing their
Jobs. There is nothing in that discovery 1t
is commonly known fact that school teachers who
discuss liberty and free speech in the classroom
with their students, are literally lock-lipped when
it comes to talking about the problems of public
education.
ssThe Observer says Several school teachers n
recent weeks have told the editor of The News and
Observer that they dare not publicly express their
conviction on school matters for fear of losing
their jobs.
"Is this true? Does there exist in North Caro-
lima today the basis for such fear? If there does
The News and Observer would like to know more
about it, There is no cause in the world for which
it would more willingly fight than for the freeing
Of the state from such a tyranny these teachers
suggest exists 1t does not believe that it could
serve the state or its schools in any better way
"Our Raleigh contemporary might as we'll get
ready to fire off both barrels if it can secure the
needed information. The school teacher is under as
great strain as any politician who is cog of
machine Even those who have resigned from posi-
tons in North Carolina schools to take similar
posts in other states have hestated to express their
frank views for fear of getting into trouble with
their new employers
Inability to secure jobs in other lines of work
has prevented many from speaking frankly and
giving up their ruler and pencil. Not only are
teachers handicapped from discussing public mat
ters but much worthwhile thought is stifed in the
classroom for fear of running over the narrow
channel of propriety as accepted. However, the
fact still remains that school folks who value their
posts do boctlick the authorities"
An ronc climax to that statement of facts and
beliefs is the news announcement that teachers
the land over, are expected to help make the NR-i
program a success by carrying the purpose of the
Blue Eagle into the school room and inStiling the
spirit thereof in the children that they might, in
turn carry it home with them. Imagine that! Put
ting the educational burden of less work and
better pay program upon overwOrked and under
paid teachers and intentionally crowded students.

THE WISER PLAN

Instead of accepting relief funds, 500 Arkansas
farmers have chosen loan from the Federal gov
eminent with which to secure for themselves small
farms upon which to establish themselves and their
families and thus try to remove themselves from
the burdened backs of the people who constitute
the paying public for relief monies.
This precedent is worthy of general emulation.
1t is praiseworthy for the recipients of financial
assistance, and it. obviously, will, in the long run,
turn out to be far more profitable for the public.
This thing of dumping scores of millions year
after year into relief channels while entirely es-
sential and unavoidable. should not be counted a
policy that be definitely kept up. 1t is impos-
sble from financial standpoint alone, to make it
permanent There is not enough money in the
world to keep pouring it ito the mouths of the un-
employed without, at tn esame time, securing from
such as these as are helped some constructive and
rebuilding form of value.
And then too, it is destructive of the finer
grains of citizenship and character to allow men
to lapse into that economic condition where one
begins to accept the situation as hopeless and have
no senstiveness as to receiving public aims. 1t
makes for a sorry type of manhood and woman
hood eventually when people are encouraged mere
ly to hang around in idleness and wait until the
federal gravy-train comes by.-Charlotte Observer.

THE OLD LIBERALISM LOSES FAITH
by BRUCE CATTON)


Nothing is much more instructive, IN ,
world where progress is the watchword.
than to listen to the "reminiscences OF a.
disilluSiOned refOrmer.
A Washington correspondent the other
day sat down to chat with Senator Thomas
P. Gore of Oklahoma. Senator Gore used
to be an ardent liberal. a Wilsonian pro-
gressive, a teammate, III the old days. OF
such fighters IS 6ryau and the older La
Toilette. Now he mas cooled Oft, and he
doubts that reforners push things along
much faster, in the long run, than con-
servativeS.
Years ago, when | was coming along
in life, | thought we were going to solve
all the problems of the world" he said.
First, We wanted the initiative and ref
erendum 1t was obvious that with the
powers of the initiative the people would
do whatever needed to be done to make
ours perfect society. With the refereG-
dunn, the people would hold in check what
ever should not be done.
"Of course we also had to have the di-
rect election of United States senator's" he
goes on. eve got that, and 10, it hath made
towards of us ALL To cement and CONSOLE
date our gains, we had to have woman
suffrage. We knew the good women would
vote only for honorable and able public
servants, wise and human public policies"
And ne concludes:
eve knew that when we accomplished
these things we could sit off on the side
lines and watch all our problems solve
themselves"
Any adult whose memory goes back to
pre-war days can see that all of this was,
pretty largely, the old progressive credo
1t hung, for the most part, on an uhques-
tiOning faith in pure democracy. Give the
people all the power possible and all will
be we'll; the remedy for the ills of demoe-
racy is more democracy; the voice of the
people is the voice Of GOd--so ran the
philosophy of the liberal
The progressive sounds a different note
today. No longer does he help on an eX-
tension of the principles of Jefferson and
Jackson. Democracy has to function in an
infinitely complex society. Your up-to-date
reformer is more likely to be an economist
or an engineer than a politician He fights
for the same old cause--a freer, happier
life for the ordinary man-5ut he has been
forced to use different weapons. The old
ones were good, but they weren't enough
by themselves.

The STUFF IN THE DRIVER

To the Editor of The Observer:
In an editorial last Sunday, referring to the
pathetic and tragic automobile disaster in this
state where two little girls waiting for a school
bus were run down by the hit and run driver, one
instantly killed and the other badly hurt, you
closed by asking What is to be done to remove
the drunken driver from behind the wheel?"
Many, perhaps majority, seem to feel that the
correct answer to your question is to make the
stuff which produces ''the drunken driver" more
plentiful and easier to get. But 1 would like 70
know what is your answer to your own question:

sued as an answer to the accuse
ton Tuesday night of William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor that 1G ma
jor corporations were seeking to
evade the provisions of the recoV-
cry act by forming company
unions which, Green contended,
would not be actually representa-

LIQUOR ON THE COMEBACK"

What is the attitude of the working peo-
pie of North Carolina to the legallzed
liquor traffic? In view of certain state
ments made at Raleigh by prominent
State labor leader, it is interesting to have
the following expressions on the subject
from the Asheville Advocate, old and we'll
known newspaper representative of union
labor. This editorial appeared under the
caption. Liquor on the Come-Back:"
Several of the daily newspapers of North Caro-
Ina startled their readers last week by editorial
declarations which in substance amounted to COM
nitment in favor of legalizng the sale of beer in
this State.
The gst of the argument was this: other States
viii legaIze the sale of beer; North Carolina can
not prohibit the shipment of beer its terri
tory. Hard surface roads and fast will provide
easy facilities for North Carolinians who wish to
buy and drink beer in other States and it is i'm
practicable to suppose that beer will not be
stopped over in this State. Therefore, SO the
argument proceeds. North Carolina may well
get aboard the bandwagon of the national policy,
Iegafze beer and derive revenues, because beer
viii be sold ilcitly if not lawfully
The editorial reasoning shows a facility for in
Ginning itself as the wind blows.
Against such sentiment it is useless 20 recall
that when the beer and prohibition repeal plat
forms were sold to the electorate of this nation,
assurance was given that the subject would be left
to the individual States. The yarn was good enough
to serve the purpose for which it was intended,
namely to have congress let down the bars-or
rather to open up the bars. Now told that
the argument for State control was mistake and
q delusion and should be forgotten. Does this
smack of trckery or does it smack of downright
dishonesty?
If beer is legalized in North Carolina, what will
be the next step? Are we to be told that with sale
of beer made lawful it will be futile to attempt
to prohibit the sale of hard liquors. and since hard
liquors are bound to be sold the State may well
IegaIize whisky after the 18th amendment is re-
peaIed.
And with whisky offered over the counter must
We listen to the argument that it is useless to at
tempt to restrict sales after midnight and Sun
day, since the stuff will be sold anyway? Or that
it is futile to try to keep liquor out of politics, or
from controlling the police and the courts?
One of these propositions is as logical as the
other. 1t is part of the propaganda that has
brought legalized beer back to this country :.
forerunner to re-establishment of the whole liquor
business.

TAX PENALTIES

The action of the Charlotte Clearing House AS
sociation in standing by its original resolution to
the effect that penalties should not only be re-
tanned against delinquent taxpayers, but that they
should be vigorously enforced, is easily under
stood. and should be given that consideration on
the part of the public which the case justifes.
1t is clear that if governing bodies are to htt
entirely from the people all urge to pay their taxes
promptly the delinQuents will not only increase,
but the period of their delinquency will be stretch
ed out.
And that means that the governing boards will
be unable to secure funds necessary for the main
tenance of government inasmuch as prompt and
steady payments will cease flowing in and, mas
much, further as the financial houses will not be
in a mood to lend money in anticipation of taxes
without assurance that such taxes are to be paid.
A decent, fair and unbrutal penalty should,
therefore, be retained, but this oppressive burden
which has been falling upon delinquents in the
form of a mountain of extraneous costs being ap-
piled against them should be cut out.-Charlotte
Observer.

COSSACKS FOE
TO GRAIN PLAN
Resistance to Soviet Pol
icy Has Caused Deporta-
ton Into Arctic
BY EUGENE LYONS
United Press Staff Correspondent

MOSCOW, April |. (UP)--
Their fierce resistance against the
governments a2Iarian policies in
recent months has once more won
a tragic notoriety for the Cos
sack clans, settled for centuries in
the Kuban and Don rivers basins.
Determined to crush their oppo~
sition. the Soviet government has
deported a number of their sta
nit2as," or COSsack settlements,
bodily to sub-Arctic regions. 9th
en- settlements have been dispers-
ed to various parts Of the pro-
vinces and an extraordinary com
mission has been set up to super
wise the spring sowing.
The harsh official measures are
the uncquivocal answer to anti
Soviet activities, which came to q
head i'm violent outbreaks at sew
eral points. A military race, with
fighting the only career open to
its men, the CossacEs Of the North
Caucasus had experienced another
perhaps the final-flare-up OF
their combative nature.
Elsewhere peasant opposition TO
the KremIin's grain acquisitions
was sullen, but passive. Among
some Of the CossacEs, it assumed
less passive forms. In several
places. it is reported unofficlally.

POLITICAL MINDS

Four years ago, and beyond, the political mind
of North Carolina was prohibitionistic.
1t may not have been honestly so, but it was
that way at any rate.
1t was so dry that when Democratic candidate
with wet intentions along for the presidency,
North Carolina leaped the traditional fences, upset
it's partisan morality of generations and went over
to the Republicans.
Today this same mind has swung to such vio-
lent extreme that it is sousing wet.
Peculiar, is it not, how this mind shifts from
one foot to the other?
The explanation is that it is never as sincere as
it ought to be.
1t is tickle, mobile, easily veering with the chang
ing winds.
Expediency rather than principle all too often is
the propelling motif.
Political consciousness seldom leads and origi-
mates its natural habit is to follow and initiate

THE BEER BILL

In the general grabbing for any temporary eX-
pediert, the South Carolina legislatures apparent
intention to legalze the sole of beer and wine is
not surprising. The half million dollars expected
revenue added to the public treasury will be bought
at the cost of many millions of waste to the citi-
zens in mere money, not to speak of the breaking
down of moral values. Thousands of Carolina
youth to whom the absence of intoXicants has come
to be matter of course will be educated and in
vited by the government itself to become beer guz-
zlers. The more guzzling the more revenue. By
the new economy, the man who swills the most is
the best supporter % the treasury.-Newberry
