BEST LEFT TO THE STATES.

In recent weeks a revival of propaganda Tor ratification of the proposed child labor amendment to the Federal Constitution has been noted. Ihls is partly caused by the suppression of child iapor under the MIRA codes that have been adopted py several industries notably the textile manufactur- ing business which has probably been the worst offender It is argued if it is good thing as an emergency measure for business recovery ana to increase employment to eradicate children from labor's ranks it would be equally as good as a permanent step.
 It is possible to concede the force of that argu- ment without admitting the necessity for or deslr- ability of an amendment to the Federal Constitution to bring it about We just about to conclude an unfortunate experiment in amending the Con- stitution by the repeal of the Eighteenth Amend ment We ought to be loath to adopt another that might be just as ineffective as it was and has in it. also the possibilities of creating another army of spies inspectors investigators legal advisors and other agents to take the place of the Dry agents whose vocation will be wiped off the books About the only reason for amending the Federal Constitution to prohibit child labor is that it is easier to do that than it is to educate the people of each individual State the advsability of pro- hibng it. each for itself. And that reason reveals the weakness of the movement. Until each is SC educated no Federal statute is apt to function successfully. Unless it is backed by local support we shall have a repetition of the conditions pro- duced by the Eighteenth Amendment.
 Analyzing arguments both pro and for the proposed amendment Alfred E. Smith in the current months New Outlook concludes by saying
 After careful and I may say almost
 prayerful consideration of these arguments
 for and against the child labor amendment,
 I wish to be recorded in the negative. No
 one can accuse of being caous or in-
 different about the needs of children. l
 won my service stripes in the war against
 the exploitation of children many years ago
 when there were few enthusiasts and many
 powerful opponents. l find it difficult and
 distressing to oppose now my loyal comrades
 of these early battles I have, however
 learned in recent years the bitter lessons
 of the Eighteenth Amendment. I devouty
 hope that the people of this country will
 not permit themselves to be deluded by
 sentiment tricked by false logic, coerced
 by minorities stampeded by rhetoric, into
 a repetition of their recent monumental
 folly in attempting to legsate morality into
 the United States Constitution. It does not
 seem possible that the States which
 are relieving of the of the Eigh
 teenth Amendment, will impose another
 constitutional curse upon under the guiSe
 of abolishing child labor
 We believe his reasoning is sound There can be no gainsaying that child labor is undesirable and un-American. Yet it's lies not in Federal control of labor, which after all cannot extend out Tt is matter to be settled by the conscience

and common-sense of each community and not by Federal statute"
 Those who are interested in this issue ought to concentrate on the so-called backward States and by education convince them of the necessity well as the desirability of abolishng child labor from industry.

"Shall We Win Again.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

(Cinclnnati Enqurer0
 We have ventured and we have won: we
 shall venture farther and we shall win again..
 Those words, leapng from the address of Presi- Catholic Charities, will strike a responsive chord in the breast of every American citizen. They are brave words, fighting words and the American people, alive with hope not cowed, so bowed down, weary under the yoke of the de- pression that they will not respond to fighting words.
 The President expressed his appreciation of that truth when he said Leadership I have tried to give but the great and most important fact has been the response-the wholehearted response-of America"
 Analysed carefully the address of MT Roose- welt will be found to contain number of thoughts that we have to regard plattudinous but, worked together into a living speech, they have a truthful quality that is inspirational They set the tempo for an enthusiastic "mopping up after the first attack, if America is to press to triumph over the ills of oppressed world
 But the most important thing in the Presidential utterance is his tact declaration that all of the programs yet undertaken in the United States to speed recovery much social as economic in their implications " Social justice is becoming an ever-growng factor and influence in every part of the world" he said We have to have courage and discipline and vision to blaze the trails in life, but underlying all efforts is the con- viction that cannot live unto themselves alone A democracy must be bound together by ties of neighborliness."
 The President is looking at the problem of recovery as an economic and social whole planning not to lift one man up another but rather attempting to devise for each chance. When his point of view is caught by churchmen industrial leads by the rank and file, the farmers and the workers the hard problems that lie ahead will become easier. Truly, shall venture farther and win again.

QUICK ACTION

There has been an encouraging decrease in
drunken disorder, bootlegging and crime in gen.
eral, in the West End section of Asheville during
the last two weeks, citizens of that section say.
Three weeks ago group of men and women in
terested in the betterment of the West End conf
munity met at the Haywood Street Methodist
church and organized the West End Community
Betterment Association. The purpose of this Or
ganizaton is to eradicate crime and to sponsor any
project which makes for Improvement in the COM
munity.
The organization asked the cooperation of Chief
of Police w. j. Everett and the police department
in putting an end to ntolerable conditions in their
section. Results to date have been extremely
gratifying The police force members of the bet
terment association say, responded Immediately to
its appeal Quite number of arrests have been
made and in many cases road sentences have been
given One speakeasy and some questionable bust
establishments have been forced to close their
DOORS Chief Everett has placed patrol in the
lower Patton avenue area.
The work of the police department, of the police
court and of citizens of the West End community.
who are cooperating with law enforcement
thorities, has been highly commendable. An IN
relentng, uncompromisng continuation of the &C
tivities of the past two weeks should result in
finer West End community,-Ashevile Advocate.

ENLIST AS REGGARS

No class of public servants in North Carolina
have been as outrageously dealt with during the
period of economy the school teachers. The
knife has struck them every time it has been lifted
The state started off to massacre their compen-
sation and did swell job of it, cutting them 80
per cent as against what they earned last year
after having been slashed twice before that
As it is now, without any community bonus, this
is the way the teachers will be paid annually in
North Carolina and right here in Charlotte:
The lowest salary for whites will be 1904.
The highest salary for whites will be $746.
The lowest for negroes will be 1922.
The highest for negroes will be $3.50.
If anybody thinks that is something to crow
about, they won't go up on the Square to do the
cackling. e..
The federal relief administration has ordered
that all on charity payrolls shall be paid as much
as $546 year. 1t will pay the majority of teach
ers, if they looking for livelihood, to enlist
as beggars.-Charlotte Observer.

STATE LIQUOR LAWS

The Charleston Evening Post declares "the wet
movement will not stop at national repeal" point
ing out that should the 18th amendment be taken
from the constitution the next step will be radical
changes in prohibition laws in those states dry be-
fore national prohibition. whether South Caro-
lima will be one of them remains to be seen," says
The Post, ''but nothing is more certain than that
there will be strong movement for liberalization
of the state liquor laws following national repeal"
There can hardly be any doubt that The Post is
right Just as vets and wet newspapers softped-
allied repeal while the matter of legalzing beer
was under consideration will state liquor con-
troll be sdetracked pending the outcome of the
national battle If the 18th amendment is taken
from the constitution the drys Or moist vets who
voted repeal in the expectation that liquor traffic
would be restricted are due for a rude shock. That
is the time when the vets will make known their
full intent and then it will be fight to decide
whether or not it will be "wide OPEN situation
in this state. And with majority record in
favor of national repeal the odds would be all in
favor of the "wide open" faction. The time to con-

are concerned is now before it is too late to do

LOOKING OUT FOR THE CONSUMER

Prof. William F. Ogburn has put his finger OH
the crucial point in the NRA program. In his res
ignation from the consumers advisory board Of
the National Recovery Administration, he protests
that there is urgent need of more positive proteC-
ton for the public against price exploitation.
Success of the recovery movement depends be-
yond question on building up consuming power
and keeping it abreast of the production of goods.
That cannot be done by continuing the old unba-
anced system of piling up corporate SURPRISES
from high unit profits while worker purchasing
power goes in the red. Either by falling costs or
rising wages workers must share fully in the bene
fits of chronological progress.
Higher prices are not by themselves alone key
to industrial recovery There is danger of making
fetish of them. What is important is fairer
distribution of the rewards of industry and of title
to the goods and services it produces-a larger
proportionate return to active human energy and
less proportionatey to inert capital of which there
is now plethora.
If price-fxing or price-pegging is permitted to
the extent that consumer purchasing power is
either dried up driven into revolt the capitalist
machine will be disciplined, as Professor Ogburn
says, only by recurring business depressions-a
cost which society will not forever tolerate. His

capacities entities the University of Chicago soci-
ologist to be heard when he urges the need OF
more informative statistical indexes of prices and
purchasing power than have yet been provided
Whether he has taken the best course of action
in eecting to resign from the Administrations
committee may be open to question. Brig. -Gen.
Hugh S. johnson, NRA administrator, has been
under no illusions as to the point in issue or the
completely of his job. 1t is related that when the
General was asked why he kept his staff and COM

THE new economic system with
its price-fixing features and its
apparent monopolistic tendencies
produces situation in which the
only automatic check on prices will
be recurring business depressions.
Ogburn says. Hence there must be

and purchasing power, so that the
two may balance. The lack of such
balance has given MIRA more night.

Japan rapidly is preparing an az

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
MILL CURTAILMENT THREATENS

The public will not pay the cotton processing
tax Buying of textile goods has almost complete
ly stopped.
Those statements, coming from group meeting
of print cloth manufacturers in Greenville this
week, will bring to a halt, temporarily at least,
any flag waving that may be going on in. celebra-
ton of the textile industry's new day.
Under the industry's cOde-whch is Code No.
under the national recovery program-the manu-
facturers evidencing a readiness to give the gov
ernment's new plan a thorough trial, were hopeful
that they would be able to operate successfully.
But they did not contemplate being socked with
processing tax that they couldn't tack on to al
ready increased prices.
Possibly, as times improve, the public will be-
come willing to pay the processing tax and the in
dustry will continue to hum. But, possibly, the
situation will go from bad to worse and cotton mill
curtailment. dreaded by all concerned, will result.
T. NJ. Marchant and R. E. Henry two of the in
dustrys leaders, have been chosen to lay the facts
before the administration in Washington and hope
is held that they may be able to make it clear that
relief from the processing tax must be forthcom-
ing if cotton mills are to continue to operate as
now.
This section of the South particularly will await
with keen interest the outcome of their effort.
If mill curtailment should come under the recov-
cry program recovery" would become mocking

NEWSPAPER SERVICE

Every day the newspaper performs greater serv-
ice to society and business, thus becoming more
and more an indispensable aid in every good thing
that is going on.
Superintendent William Jansen of the schools
of New York City says that even the schools can
no longer do their work as it should be done with
out the newspapers
eff" he says, current events are an aid to the
course being given in any subject then the teacher
should familiarize herself with the accounts in
newspaper and discuss the new aspects with her
pupils The teachers plans are elastic, and we rely
upon their discretion to what plan they adopt
to assure up-to-theminute instruction. The inter-
mnable panorama of events is shifting so constant
ly that it is impossible for the publishers of school
textbooks to keep them up to date. If the classes
are to be kept on the alert, the newspapers are
essential."-The Hickory Record.
