THE POOR POOR

Not for anything would the present congress
accept the bonus of per cent manufacturers
sales tax at is tax on povertym they cry, and
let it go at that.
1t is plain to see that per cent tax on GER
tain manufactured articles is not tax poverty.
Paper-thln watches, for example; the poor do not
carry paper-thin watches or watches of any sort,
in many instances Likewise the poor do not have
to buy slick leather wallets, having no great use
for them, and it is conceivable that tax on auto
mobiles would inAict no great burden on such of
the poor as do not automobiles.
But tax bread and tax on cheap clothing:
that is your tax on poverty. And it so happens
that under the domestic allotment plan bread and
cheap clothing precisely the things on which a
tax will be placed.
Mr.. George A. Sloan, president of the Cotton
Textile Institute, set forth in detail yesterday just
what effect the party price" for cotton would have
on poverty The rich do not, for an instance, wear
overas, yet instead of an innocuous per cent tax
on overalls there will be az per cent tax, which
according to our arithmetic is considerably higher
The rich wear neither house dresses retailing at
80 cents nor work shirts at the same price, yet for
these garments the parity plan would result in
prices stepped probably by 25 and so per cent re-
spectively.
Of course Mr.. Sloan isn't thinking so much about
the poor he is about the poor cotton trade which
must continue to meet the stiff competition of those
who manufacture paper, wool, rayon and silk arti-
cles. And congress isn't thinking about the poor so
much as it is about the poor farmer, in whose be-
half this iniquitous is dedicated. The poor
pOor-alas! nobody at all is thinking about them

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Editor Times-News,
Hendersonville, n. G.

Editor TimeS-NeWS,
Hendersonville, n. C..
Dear Sir:
l want to commend yOur stand
as expressed in a recent editorial
on diversion of highway funds to
other purposes. 1t seems to me
that nothing could be more short
sighted than robbing the highway
department. North Carolina has
one of the best highway systems
in the country, representing an
investment of great many mil
lions of dollars.
This investment has been made
for two major purpOses-tO facili
tate the carrying Of local produce
to market and to make the state
attractive and available to visi-
tors. Tourists will not come to q
state which las Uau rUaus, ami
when they have to pass through
such state they are all too will
ing to give it black eye.
The work of the highway COM
mission and its engineers has been
remarkable in the face of serious
ly diminishing revenue. They have
kept all highways in extremely
good condition and their work in
the recent storm was q splendid
demonstration of loyalty and
perseverance in the face Of great
odds. 1t would be major calam-
ity to those living outside urban
centers if the highway commits
sion's work were further curtailed.
Considering that the highway
commission has been self-support-
ing for years, and that good roads
tend to attract new residents to
the state (these new residents not
only make their regular contribu-
ton to highway maintenance
through vehicle taxation but also
become taxpayers on other prop
erty and therefore add to the
revenue of other departments) it
seems not only short-sighted but
decidedly unfair to try to divert
their funds to other thar highway
uses.
AS I consider this subject vital
to the welfare of the state in the
next few years | have made an eff
fort to get the views of other tax
payers and have yet to find sim
gle person who approves Of the
scheme to rob the highway de-
partment of its proper revenue.
How certain members of the state
administrator can go so absolute
ly contrary to what appears to be
almost unanimous public opinion
is beyond comprehension. 1t is
the duty of every citizen who con-
tributes his share toward highway
maintenance to see that the work
of the commission is not hampered
and that the taxpayers money is
spent for the purpose for wS'cn it
was and is being collected.
Very truly yours,
GLENN MARSTON,
Hendersonville, r. F. D.

GERMAN REDS AND
FASCISTS IN CLASH

STOLBERG. Germany, Jan. 20.
UP).-Dreams of a modern Gin

Bus Drivers of
London Strike
North Ireland Railway Men
Vote to Strike

LONDON. Jan. 23.-UP).--
An "unofficial' strike tied up
most of the bus lines IN London
over the weekend and threatened
to spread to the street car and
subway lines.
The street car men in Willcs-
den and Hanwell depots quit in
sympathy with the bus drivers,
but the lines in most sections of
London were running, despite per-
sistent reports the workers intend
ed to join the bus men.
The unions refused to "recog-
nize" the bus drivers wage strike,
but the men quit anyway, and
claimed they had tied up 65 per
cent of the lines. They said TO-
600 men, and 1891 buses in -
garages operating on 16O routes
were affected.

THE MOVIES AND DELINQUENCY
(By BRUCE CATTON)

Most of us have heard good deal about
the damage that certain types of moving
pictures are supposed to do to the minds
of children.
Pictures displaying the deeds of gang
sters are supposed to be especially danger
Gus. Reformers have assured us that they
cause many an impreSsionable lad to go in
for a life of crime.
But every so often someone who is more
or less familiar with the ways of children
rises up to remark that it isn't so.
The latest IS Dr. Frank Astor, field di-
rector of the National Child Welfare AS
ISOLATION, who has just got through study
ing the reactions of more than 1000 chill
dren to all types of movies during three
month period.
DR.. Aston, for instance, took the time to
investigate a number of cases in which ju-
venile dehnquents were supposed to have
been led astray by things they had seen in
the movies. In every case, he said, heredl-
tary and envirOnmental conditions proved
chiefly responsible for the child's delin-
quency; in many cases the child concerned
had never even seen the film that was sup
posed to have caused his downfall.
DR.. Astor declares that even when q
young delinquent himself puts the blame
on a film, it doesn't necessarily mean any
thing.
Children" he says, have an almost re-,
markable capacity for saying what they
believe adults want them to hear. E. On
being brought before some judge for CON-
hitting some crime they begin searching
for an eXcuse-an impressive excuse. The
motion picture provides just that"
Newspaper readers whose memories go
back 80 or 40 years can remember when
the dime novel, instead of the moving pic
ture, was the scapegoat. 1t used to be said
that children who read of the exploits of
gunner in dime novels would grow up to
be gunner themselves; the current charge
against the movies is only an adaptation OF
that old complaint.
Well, most of us read lots of dime nov
els, years ago; and somehow we managed
to escape the pitfall that was laid for us.
The chances are that the same thing is
true OF children today. They take their
lurid movies just as we took those old dime
novels-With grain or two of salt. Chill
dren usually have a better balance in such
matters than adults are willing to admit

JESTER WELL PAID
FOR MAKING MIRTH
World Seeks Forgetfulness of
Its Troubles.

The business of making the public
laugh has reached large proportions.
This modern career offers opportu-
nifty to gain substantial fortunes by
those who know what the masses will
consider funny. The salaries of
broadcasting humorists now far ex-
ceed those Of grand opera stars, and
they not only receive big pay them
selves. but substantial sums are paid
to their collaborating writer's. There
is the offsetting disadvantage that a
joke which could be used for months
in play is good for only one radio
performance.
These modern jokesmiths are seri-
Gus students of the psychology of
laughter, who scientifically go about
the business of tickling the risibility
of their audiences. The gagman
knows that incongruity is great
source of mirth. A chicken in
barnyard is seldom funny. but if /;
enters the dining room during a for
NAL banquet it causes shrieks Of
laughter. Another source of humor
is found in the feeling of superior
ity that people experience when they
anticipate joke before it is actually
sprung. Then there is humor which
consists of narrow escape from
harm or tragedy. Being run over, or
falling and breaking leg. does not
make people laugh, but a close shave
from which the victim emerges with
his dignity ruffled is often funny. All
these things the gagman knows and
manipulates in making his comedy.
The old idea that morriment is
trifling and unworthy of serious men
has given way to the knowledge tha.
sense of humor may often enable
man to rise above his troubles.
Tell me what you laugh at and I'll
tell you your mental age" said Pro-
fessGr Gaum. of Rutgers college. A
sense of humOr is a sense of proper
ton. Laughter at ones self is test
of character, The gagman does not
often dare TO use this reputed type
of humor and turn the laugh on his
audience. as AristOphanes did, but
his strides have taken him far from
the old slapstick comedy, so time
may even carry him into this range
of drollery.

Licensed to
Fish; Season Open

Minnesota Lakes will again be
crowded with fishermen judged by the
announcement of County Auditor Ira
R. Rogers that about $50 family
licenses and 500 individual licenses
have been sold at his office. The
number is smaller than last year,
however.
How many have been sold through
out the county cannot be checked
accurately at this time as license
books are left in every township and
several business places in villages
and towns.
The season opened Monday and
most fishermen went into action
either then or Memorial day. Several
northern fishing parties are planned
for the next few weeks.
A joker in the license law passed
by the last legislature has been dis
covered. Children over Is must have
individual licenses, children under
Is need no license. Consequently the
family license only applies to mother
and father. It costs 81, the same
price as two individual permits.

FARMERS ELEVATOR
AT NORTHREDWOOD
TO BUY OR REBUILD
Committee Appointed Monday to
Investigate Purchase of
New Building

The North Redwood Farmers elev-
ator will resume business either by
purchasing an elevator or by rebuild
ing on the lot where the building
which burned recently, stood.
This was the agreement received
by stockholders of the company at a
meeting Monday night at the Simon
Diet hall. A capacity house heard the
report of w. M. Sommers, manager,
who showed that the loss was entir-
ely covered by insurance.
A committee was appointed and
met Wednesday to check figures with
other elevators in hopes of arrang-
ing to buy. Besides the board of dir
ectors, the following were appointed
on the committee to investigate the
new Venture: Henry Amberg, ST.,
John Schweinfurter, Harry Hoffman,
Floyd Schleuter and Herman Moritz.
