THE SLOT MACHINE

Slot machines come under the head of percent
age games. That is, they are not games of skill.
The only skill that goes into them is the skill with
which they built to beat the player A child
can play them and they can handle the smartesr
gambler in the world like child. Slot machines
can hardly be called games of chance, for the
player has no chance. Mechanically, the machines
are so constructed that the house cannot lose The
percentage is always against the player. In the
parlance of the gambler, the slot machine is a
suckers game. Nobody that knows anything about
the slot machine or its inner workings ever goes
up against it.
The whole purpose of the slot machines is to
rake in the nickels of the Hedging. AS rule, they
are disguised vending machines, but this ruse
does not alter their character . player may
get handful of nickes on his first trial. but if he
stays with the machine the machine will get every
thing he has. The machine is designed to do
just that. There is escape from its mathema-
cal exactions
In every sense the slot machine is racket and
nothing more.-San Francisco Chronicle.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE PEACE VETERAN

When YOU speak of disabled veterans the aver
ace persons will see in his minds eye some shrap-
,ol torn wreck of a. man. some fellow with an
emntv sleeve or an invalid in wheel chair. He
will know instnctivey that no matter what 1t costs
simple Justice requires continuing and unstlnted
care for the soldier who has been damaged on the
field of battle or who has lost his health IN any
way while engaged in the defense OF his country
Consequently. when the average person reads
that S384.OOO was paid from the local Office Oh
the Veterans Bureau to disabled soldiers over
North Carolina, he may be surprised Tor moment
that the monthly amount is so large but ne Will
pass on to other matters in the assurance that
whatever the amount it is richly deserved.
Our average person would be astounded how
ever if he knew that of the more than l2,OOO per-
sons in North Carolina on the disabled soldiers list
more than half are drawing what is known as 4
disability allowance which is to say for something
that did not happen to them during as result
of their war service. More than half of those who
come under the classification of disabled soldier
are not disabled soldiers at all but men who came
through the war with whole skins and sound con-
situations and VINO became disabled after, often
long after. their return to peaceable pursuits.
This disability allowance is available to any eX-
service man who was sworn in prior to the ARMS
tice and who served as much as 90 days, provided
it can be proved that he is suffering from perma"
nent disability of 25 per cent or more. The Only
other requirement is that he shall not have paid
a federal income tax for the one year preceding
his applcation-The Charlotte News.

UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF

Out OF Mr. Baskerville story in which the sales
tax was discussed, one sentence stood revealed in
all its significance. 1t was this:
'The cost of administering general sales tax
on retail sales is variously estimated, ranging as
high as II per cent the first year, because of the
difficulty of collecting such tax and the large
number of tax collectors that would be required
What that means is clear enough. Already we
have tax collectors, which is to say jobholders,
galore. By repeating the state tax on property
not one jobholder is repealed with it. yet to collect
the tax that may replace property tax large
number of additional jobholders would be required.
Thus it is that the people upon whom the sales
tax falls may console themselves with the knowl-
edge that not only are they paying money into
the state treasury but maintaining large number
of Jobholders as we'll Thus it is that the class upon
winch will rest the duty of renting this tax, the
merchants, may still their curses as they sweat
with it simply by rejecting that just outside the
door is gent who will get goodly share of what
ever they have taken in.-Charlotte News.

WORK HARDER AND TALK LESS

Once in a while some well-known citizen Will
rise to make a remark that is filled with sound
logic and common sense and such a remark was
made this week by Cameron Morrison, one-tme
governor of the state and former United States
senator, before luncheon CLUB in Charlotte. He
declared that he had stopped raising hell in poll
tics" and was raising hogs in MecklenSurg coun-
tv." He added that "hog raising is fool proof.
Anybody can grow hogs"
This retired politician says that it is time to let
the government alone for while and go to work
earning living" Slowly we are coming TO realize
that very little of a worthwhile nature be done
by government and more and more the truth that
government is best which governs least is being i'm
pressed upon US. Governor Morrison says that the
people spoke in November, and now the best thing
to do is to allow those who were chosen to the
government as best they can until election time
again.
Business conditions are not good. Prices on
farm products are low. It's hard to make money.
But these are no reasons why We should plod along
in the same old way hoping and praying for things
to get better. The only sensible thing to do is to
take business conditions as we find them. and let
our ability and commonsense cope these conditions.
True it is that conditions in some lines Of business
are well-nigh unconquerabie, but in The majority
of cases there are no obstacles which cannot be
overcome with hard work and careful planning.
We can let the lawmakers at Raleigh and Wash
ington know how we feel about the matter, but ii
we spend all our time telling them how to run the
government We'll starve to death because it is ap-
parent that the only relief from taxation will have
to be put through by the men who are sent there
in the next election The only time to tell a law
maker what's what is before election, and appar-
emily the citizens Of the country did not realize the
seriousness of the situation during the last CAM
pagn.-Stanly News and Press.

NORMAL CONDITIONS THROUGH RES
ToRATION OF QUALITY AND PRICES

Normal conditions will be restored Ill
this country when prices come back to rea-
sonable levels-prices of farm products
and other commodities, prices Of merchan-
disc and services. Goods and services that
have quality and value must be sold for
their worth. In the manufacturing and
merchandising fields throughout the cOun-
try, the leaders in business recognize that
the country must recover from the low
price craze before their business can De-
come prosperous again. Conditions exist
ing for the past three years have created
a widespread and insistent demand for low
prices and low-priced merchandise. The
pressure of these conditions has resulted III
the production of more cheap and Shoddy
merchandise than was ever before known
in the history of the country. The people
have been buying cheap goods at low
prices but much of the stuff was not worth
buying at any price.
Now, the news comes from merchar-
dising authority in New York that the peo-
pie are turning again to consideration OF
quality and real value in the merchandise
they buy. The mere appeal of price is los
ing it's pulling power with the buying pub
lie.
Scarcity of money, reduced purchasing
power, has been the chief cause of the I'M
precedented demand for cheap, low priced
merchandise; but the demand has been
promoted by retailers throughout the coun-
try who have stressed nothing but low
prices. They have pounded from day to
day and week to week on prices, continual
ly driving them lower and lower
The net results of conditions and of this
system of merchandising has been to drive
prices to points where there is no profit III
manufacturing or in selling goods. This
condition affects business in many ways,
decreasing wages and salaries, decreasing
purchasing power, preventing manufactu1-
ing and selling from producing profits,
which are necessary if business is to re-
cover
The people of the country can exercise
a controlling influence in restoring normal
conditions by turning from their low-price
obsession to quality and value conscious
ness. Let those who buy demand quality
merchandise at fair prices-prices afford
ing profit for manufacturer and mer-
chant-instead of accepting cheap and
shoddy merchandise at the lowest possible
figures.

WASHINGTON - The interna-
w tional monetary and economic
conference, conceived to cure
some of the worlds troubles and
to save it from yet worse all
ments, is still up in the air.
Once fondly expected to begin
last December, more lately antici-
pated for April, this conference
cannot now possibly be held be-
fore August or September, &C
cording to those who know best.
Those who believe the confer
ence will be just another confer
ence point out that war debt
agreements-which won't be ON
the agenda but are inextricably
linked with both the conference
and its chief COMMENSURATE
agreements and let's-all-go-back-
to-the-gOld-standard agreements
must be later ratified by con.
crosses and parliaments. And
that's assuming that any impor,
tant ones are negotiated in the
first place, of which there is now
no sign.
Our delegates to the prepare
tory commission for the confer
ence are back, having helped
frame an agenda which is neither
official nor compulsory.

THE chief picture before the
conference was that of inter
national trade crawling along a
