GOVERNOR EHRINGHAUs IS RIGHT

Governor Ehringhaus is opposed to the
Advisory Budget Commissions plan to oil
vert 100000 from the highway fund to
the general fund in levying State taxes.
While this proposal has its friends and adj
yocates in the Legislature and among the
citizens of North Carolina, this newspaper
believes the Governor is right in opposing
it, and The Times-News is confident large
majority of the tax payers stand with the
Governor.
Highway fund taxes are levied for high
wav purposes on one class of citizens. That
class is composed of the owners and oper-
ators of motor vehicles; and the taxes are
collected and used for the building and
maintenance of roads. In addition to the
taxes paid by motor vehicle owners for this
special purpose, every motor vehicle is
taxed in the same way as all other tangible
property in the State, the owner pays an
ad valorem tax. No class of citizens IS
more heavily taxed than motor vehicle
owners The proposal to take portion OF
the special taxes, levied for specific pur-
pose, on this class of citizens, and divert
the money to the general fund, is unfair
and unreasonable.
That, however, is not the strongest argu-
ment that can be advanced against the pro-
posal to divert highway taxes to the gen.
eral fund. The fact that highway depart
ment revenue is steadily decreasing is the
most alarming fact in this connection. With
less revenue and bigger job than in more
prosperous years, there are citizens clam
oring for further reduction of this de-
partment's income by the diversion route
The highway department is now charged
with the building and maintenance of all
State and county roads. There is no bigger
or more important job in North Carolina.
Roads which have cost hundreds of mil
lions must not be allowed to deteriorate
and depreciate in value; and there is, in
addition, the vast system of county roads
to be maintained and improved; and this
fact is kept before the highway commits
sion by tens of thousands of citizens who
are constantly demanding improvement of
county roads.
The ~incontrovertible fact is that the
highway commission cannot carry on sue.
cessfully with less revenue; and to deprive
it of 100000 of revenue by diversion
will seriously cripple its work
The finest highway system in any South
ern State must be preserved. The good
work the highway commission has been
doing in maintaining and improving coun-
ty roads must be continued. The specia.
taxes levied for the highway department
must not be diverted to the general fund.
Governor Ehringhaus is right.

"a Round OF Neav Wars and
Revolutions"
Concluding Remarks ErcO at 18th Plenum of E. c. C. ~

~ from the workers organized in
the reformist trade unions. That
mass is seeking for revolutionary
direction; part of that mass wishes
to join our ranks. Our task con-
sists in succeeding in directing it,
and in order to achieve this task,
it is absolutely necessary for all
Social-Democratic traditions to be
overcome in our ranks. 1t is abSo-
lutely necessary, in order to achieve
this task, for each Party to work
with the greatest theological and
political steadiness.
We are advancing towards a pc
Rod Of great struggles. What will
be the reaction in our ranks, in the
ranks of the various parties in cap
italist countries with regard to
these struggles2 Will there be ele-
ments which will weaken just when
It is necessary, on the contrary, to
show the greatest amount OF
strength? Can we put aside such
a prospect? MOI We must have
that prospect here before us and
we must learn to understand the
importance for all the Parties Of
the Communist international, under
the present conditions Of struggle,
Of feminist theology Of revolu-
tionary MarXism, against right
opportunism, which is the main
danger. and against deviations Of
the left wing.
All our Parties have not yet be-
come real Bolshevist Parties. They
will become Bolshevist Parties In
the course of struggle, but, beside
the great theological and political
confusion of the Parties Of the Sec
ord International, we are an Inter

Comrades! the definition of the
differing character of the general
detectives, which we have given,
implies differentiation in the de-
velopment of the capitalist crisis
in various countries
In Germany, we have a situation
where reactionary and revolution
airy forces are gathering and oppos-
ing each other in an extremely
rapid manner.
Our task is TO raise the ideologi
cal capacity of our Party, so as to
be able to analyze with continuous
attention and exactly understand,
at every moment, the nature of the
situation which we have before us
and adapt our political line, our
tactics, to this situation. Nov, more
than at any other time, our ideo-
logical capacity must be allied with
the capacity to do practical work,
with the spirit of struggle, with the
greatest development of the initia-
tive of each Party and each Party
organization.

8. WHY is TECHNoCRACY
POLITICAL TRICKERY?

TOR the reason that technocracy
offers the American big bourge-
oisie valuable medium for carry
ing out big demagogic campaign
to throw dust in the eyes of the
workers. And the campaign it has
now carried on is undeniably one
of those demagogic maneuvers
against which the resolution
adopted by the XIV Plenum of the
Communist Party of the U. S. A.
warned the workers last spring.
The crisis of capitalism, and es-
pecially Of United States capital
ism, is becoming more aggravated
day by day, and 1t is becoming in
creasingly difficult for the capital
ist class to extricate itself from it.
The outright denial of the deepen
ing Of the crisis, which the capital
list papers OF America have done up
to now, and still are doing, no
longer has any effect on the work
ing class, or even on the petty bour-
geoisie. The bourgeoisie is in ever
more urgent need of using to its
advantage all its agencies, especial
ly fascisrn and social fascisnn. And
the technocrats fill need admir-
ably. For it is very convenient to
use the authority of the tech
nicians and engineers among the
American workers to help carry out
the blacklist purposes Of the bour-
geoisie and to pave the way for
fascisIn. h.
BY creating connection about
democracy the bourgeoisie hopes
to attract the attention Of the
workers from the present misery
as well as the struggle against it,
and to lull them into badly decep-
tive dreams by means Of beautiful
promises for the future. They use
democracy to prevent the workers
from seeing the menace Of inlper-
iaist war and their preparations
for attacking the Soviet Union.
They use democracy To try to de-
crease the revolutionary enthusiasm
which the achievements OF socialist
construction arouse in the midst OF
American workers, and thus to cool
clown tho friendly attitude OF the,

ing to another party, with the task
of speaking in the name OF the
Party. This task the accused Boil
shevik took upon himself.
The degree to which the role OF
counsel foa me defense was re-
stricted by the Bolsheviks is Strik-
ingly illustrated by the following
letter written by Lenin to Comrade
Stasova and the arrested Moscow
Bolsheviks, in reply to their queS-
ton as to the line of conduct they
were to pursue during the examina-
ton and at the trial.
Letter from Lerin to StasOya
and to Comrades in Moscow Prison,
January 10, 1861
Dear Friends,
I have received your inquiry as
to tactics at the trial Cron1 the
letter of Absolute and from a note,
passed on literally" through an
unknown person.. Absolute writes
of two points of view. In the note
three groups are spoken of, per-
haps the three following shades
are being contemplated, which I
will try to formulate.
!. Repudiate the trial and di-
rectly boycott it.
2. Repudiate the trial and not
take part in the court investiga-
ton. To invite counsel only on
condition that he speaks exclu-
siye1y on the incompetency of the
court from the point OF view OF
abstract law. In the final speech
to expound our credo and demand
that the case be tried by jury.
3. Concerning the final speech,
the same. To utilize the trial as
an agitational medium and for this
reason to take part in the court
investigation with the help of coun-
sci. To point out the illegality Of
the trial and even to call witnesses
to prove an alibi.
Further question. Should you
merely state that you are Social
Democrats by conviction or admit
that you are members Of the Rus
sian Social-Democratic Labor
Party?
You write that it is necessary to
have a pamphlet ON this question.
1 am of the opinion that it is not
expedient now, without experience,
to issue pamphlet. Perhaps we
will deal with it in the newspaper,
when occasion offers. Maybe some
one of the arrested will write a
short article on the subject for the
newspaper (about a thousand
Words. This will be the best per-
haps as the beginning Of discus
sion.
PERSONALLY, 1 have not yet ar
1 rived at definite opinion, and
/ would prefer. before speaking
definitely, to discuss the matter
thoroughly with the comrades
awaiting trial or who have been on
trial. I will formulate my ideas In
order to start such q discussion.
Much depends on what the trial
will be like, i.e., whether there will
be any opportunity of utilizing it
for purposes of agitation or not. IF
the first will be the case then tao
tics No are unsuitable. If the
second, then they will be useful but
only after an open, specific and
energetic protest and declaration.
If, however, there is an opportunity
to utilize the trial for agitational
purposes, then tactics No. 8 are de-
sirable. A speech explaining the
credO is very desirable in general,
very useful, in my opinion and In
the majority of cases might play
an agitational role. Particularly in
beginning to utilize the Tsarist
court, a Social-Democrat should in
his speech, deal with the Social
Democratic program and tactics.
