MERGER OF COUNTIES

Of course. it may be premature to be thinking
about cutting down the number of counties IN
North Carolina, but the idea is worth mulling
over If the voters in the average North Carolina
county knew how much he could cut down the
amount of his yearly county tax by favoring n
merger of about one-half or more of our 100 coun-
ties. or how much trouble and Inconvenience it
would save state officials and Also cut down state
taxes, he would get out and work for this move
ment
The average Carolina county was laid off in the
DAYS of the wagon stage coach and horse and
buggy. The present limitations and restrictions
are about 40 years behind the times. We DO not
need more than so or 60 counties in the state if
that many. Local and sectional pride is behind
most of the feeling against merger of counties,
and this could soon be wiped out. just school
district pride and jealousies have been eliminated
in the past few years.

THE DEAL WITHIN 4 DEAL

The house banking committee yesterday voted
TO strike out of the administrations home loan
bond bill the senate amendment designed to take
politics out of appointments to office under the
bill.
This means several things. First Of all. it indi-
Gates that this is campaign year, when the dis
tribution of Jobs will be very important to repre-
sentatives up for reelection. Then it indicates
that members of the house much less interested
in having the Home Owners Loan corporation op-
Grated by men who know how to do it than they
are in getting jobs for constituents. And this, in
turn indicates that the attitude of members of
the house is pretty much what it always has been
on such matters. Getting elected is the thing. Pro-
tecting the interests of the country comes later.
Revolutions may come and revolutions may go,
but in congress-at least in election years-the
Old Deal goes on forever.-Baltimore Sun.

WHY BE APPALLED,

A Berke county grand jury in recent report to
the court admitted it was appalled, by the large
number of indictments for driving motor vehicles
while under the influence of liquor"
But why be appalled, at such condition Was
it not perfectly clear to those advocating the re-
peal of prohibition that easy as they say it was,
to get liquor before it would be still easier after
liquor was legalized?
1t is a good thing for grand juries to keep en-
phasizng that the drunken driver menace is be-
coming more acute each day and that something
must be done about it. but to be startled that
drunkenness is increasing both at the steering
wheel and elsewhere is to confess that ones think
ing has been superficial.
Certain results were inevitable with the repeal
of prohibition An increase in liquor consumption
is one of them. More drunkenness is aother. Gains

MAKING UP YOUR MIND
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

YOU see it, and you know white
when you see it. But there are
shades Of colors that you can not
determine so readily. Is the shade
one of blue or one Of green, or is
it a shade Of black? If it is white,
is it whittier than another shade Of
white. or is it not so white?
There are moral and judicial
questions which are 50 finely bal
anccd between right and wrong,
which have 50 many arguments
for GOOD on each side and so many
for bod. that one may be put to it
sorely to know what to do - to
know what to say.
| have never envied the judge
on the bench. l have always
thought that I would rather be
anything else than a judge. No
matter how just he wants to be,
no matter how well he knows his
stuff, he is going to make errors
and he knows it.
Take for instance the famous
story of King Solomon and the
two women, each Of whom claim
cd to be the mother Of a baby.
Solomon in his great wisdom. al
ter being unable to get anywhere
with the argument. said: Cut the
baby in two. and give each woman
half" One Of the women agreed.
but the other said, mo. no; let
her have the baby" Whereupon
King Solomon decided that the
woman who did not want the baby
sliced in half was It's mother; he
awarded the infant to her. Maybe
she was its mother and maybe she
wasn't. Maybe she was willing to
steal a whole baby but she didn't
care anything about half baby.
Maybe the other woman was its
mother. Maybe she had sincerely
and honestly rather see her baby
dead than go into the possession
and under the influence of the
woman to whom Solomon gave the
child.
All right. Now we have come to
the matter of the formula for
up our minds. What is it?
