Wrench Is Lost
Gold Mine Found

David Toohey lost a wrench and
while looking for it discovered a
gold mine.

mining district of Ballarat, Toohey
searched for a lost wrench and no.

the burrows. He picked it up and
saw it contained gold.
After digging in the same spot
he found a gold-bearing reef only
a foot below the surface. Crush

from the reef produced gold valued
at AS ($2,24o) in two avs.

Birdseye View Of
Contrasting Methods

New York is a wet State. North
Carolina is nominally a dry State.
Last year in New York there
were 81 fewer motor vehicle acct
dent fatalities than in 1882.
This was a decrease of about 20
per cent.
Last year in North Carolina there
were 70 more automobile fatalities
than in 1882.
This was an increase of more than
26 per cent.
Professor Harry Tucker of North
Carolina State College says that
"New York State has faced the
situation squarely and its recent
law fixing punishment for driving
motor vehicles while drunk is the
most stringent one in force in any
of the States.
North Carolina has not faced the
situation squarely.
New York last year registered

many as were registered in North

.TAX-EATERS.

The army of tax-eaters all over
the country is growing larger and
more impudent in its assumption
of special privilege. We are not
referring to the millions who arc
subsisting on what amounts to a
"dole" at public expense, the
workers in the CCC, the men and
women employed by the CWA and
those vast armies who do not worl,
at all for what they receive from
the public funds, although the cost
of maintaining them is a heavy
enough burden on the taxpayers,
in all conscience.
We have in mind the public emf
ployees who are supposed to be the
public's servants but who too often
assume they are the public's mas
ters. Many of them are entrenched
behind the security of civil service
laws, originally designed to prevent
the unfit and incompetent from
finding places on the public pay
rolls but, latterly become a barrier
to the removal from office of any
one, however unfit he or she may
be for the post.
1t seems to US that everyone
should have a clear understanding
of the undeniable fact that nobody
has an unassailable title to any jot
for which the compensation comes
from the taxpayers. 1t is all very
well to say that these public en-
ployees for small pay and are en-
titled therefore to security and re-
tirement pensions. That was true
perhaps, in a past generation. But
the tendency of salaries in public
offices has been upward, while
the incomes of the rest of us have
gone downward. AS matters stand
at present, only those who are safs
in their t~ax-eating jobs are earning
enough to get by on.
We can think of nothing more
~disgraceful than for organized
bodies of tax-eaters to unite in pro.
test against laws OF regulations tina,
would permit those who are trying
to run public affairs economically
to reduce their salaries and elimi-
nate unnecessary jobs. If present
conditions, which are prevalent
everywhere, continue much longer:
we look for the taxpayers to unite
and refuse to give up good money
for the benefit of a privileged few

CROOKED POLITICS

Everybody has been shocked by
the disclosure of conditions in the
New York County Penitentiary, on
Walfare Island. Gangsters have
lived there in luxury, prospecting
from the sale of narcotics to other
prisoners who have been abused and
half-starved, all with the CONN.,
vance of public officials taking
their orders from political bosses.
1t took a complete overturn of the
city administration to bring these
and wors evils to light.
What has been disclosed in New
York, however, is not peculiar to
that city. Similar or comparable
conditions, in some degree, probab-
1y exist in most of the other prisons
of the nation, as we'll as in other
public institutions. Mrs. Roose-
welt went in a school not long ago,
where free lunches are served to
the children, and was delighted with
the quality of the food. The
school officials knew in advance
that she was coming. A few days
later she dropped in unannounced
and discovered that the regular
lunch fare served to the children
was hardly fit to eat.
We would hate to think that
most people, placed in charge of
the welfare of the less fortunate,
would prove innately cruel or neg
ligent of the interests of those in
trusted to their care. But the po-
1itical system which enables those
influential in politics to put their
supporters into such places, is based
upon the sordid foundation of
granting special favors to a few at
the expense of the many. Who
does not know of cases in which
the taxpayers have been bled in
order that political henchmen may
fatten? Where is there a COM
munity that is entirely free from,
partnership between politics and
crime, or at least graft?
Even the work of the Civil
Works Administration and the Pub
lie Works Administration has not
been free from graft and political
collision, whereby favorites have
been taken care of at public expense
and those equally worthy overlook
ed because they did not have the
right political pull.
1t is a perennial disgrace to Am
erica that politics" should be re-
garded by most people as synony-
NOUS with corruption"

EACH FOR GOOD OF ALL

A FTER its 5-to-4 decision in the New

on it's front door. For it is of the spirit of NRA
and in it is inspiration for our somewhat
shattered democracy.
Listen and understand saith that court:
IF the law-making body within its sphere
of government concludes that the conditions
or practices in an industry make unrestricted
competition an inadequate safeguard of the
consumers interests, produce waste harmful
to the public, threaten ultimately to cut
off the supply of a commodity needed by the
public, or portend the destruction of the in
dustry itself appropriate statutes passed in
an honest effort to correct the threatened con-
sequences may not be set aside by the courts"
For the good Of all rather than for the
property rights of individuals or elenents-it
is a new deal, by our highest judiciary, in be-
half of lust humane and democratic govern
ment. It puts the hand Of the clock at high
noon of government of, by and for the people,
and not for the classes.
From its inception The Rooseveltian new
deal has depended, absolutely, upon sacrifice
of so-called rights, advantages and profits on
the part of every individual or incorporated
concern for the public good. Without such
sacrifice there could not, and can not be- the
breaking up of the maldistribution OF wealth,
a complanation of The means Of happiness and
maintenance of a high standard OF living for
the American people
The public good shall come first, says the
United States supreme court. The courts that
have been worshiping sacred property rights
and been servilely loyal to individual interests
should take notice.
Go ahead, Mr.. Roosevelt-the law OF the
land is with you N your courageous labor for
the good Of all.
