well. Hence instead of the vast amount of freight
to be hauled, the primitive methods of producing
things to be hauled would leave so much less to
be hauled that not near as many would be
required to run the needed OK carts as are now
being required to run the trains
In other words, there is no way out of economic
depression by making depression hundred times
worse through going back to the methods of a
primitive age Our troubles are not that machines
enable US to produce too much, and therefore put
men out of work, but that the vast machine of
modern industry has become sadly dlsarranged'
As we'll recommend going back to the OK cart as
remedy for disordered automobile as to sug-
gest going back to promitive methods of produtc-
ton as means of making jobs. 1t is both simpler

CIGARETTE AND STATE TAXES

The cigarette trade is interested in the recent
ruling by the Retail Tobacco Trade Code, is
also the State. Under the law, the amount of any
tax levied by the State must be added to the mini
mum price. This ruling went into effect last Mon
day and it is designed to prevent the practice of
using cigarettes as "bat,' practice which was
tending to eliminate the small enterprise from to-
bacco distribution. However, in those States I'M
posing stamp tax on cigarettes, the amount of
the tax is large enough to permit continuation
of this practice through the absorption of the tax
by the dealer. Furthermore, dealer located in
one State may sell in another States imposing
tax avoiding the tax entirely, and forcing COM
pettor within the State in order to meet his price,
to suffer substantial loss. Therefore, the existing
order has tended to promote fair competitive prac
tees only in those States having tax and the
amendment proposes to extend this protection to
all States. To permit the absorption or avoidance
of tax which may amount to much as SO per
cent OF the selling price is considered beyond the
bounds of healthy price competition.
The effect of this order will be to provide uni
form competitive base. In other words, for brands
on which the minimum price amounts to 13 cents
per package, 2 packages for 25 cents, and carton
for S1.20, the minimum price in a State imposing
stamp tax of 2 cents per package the ciga-
rettes will automatically become Is cents per pack
age, packages for 20 cents, and carton for
S1.3S. A person located without the State must
conform with the minimum prices of the State in
which he makes his sales.-Charlotte Observer.

SINCLAIR WEAKENING

Upton Sinclair, having been nominated for gov
ernor of California by voters in the Democratic
primary, is beginning to discover that the platform
upon which he made his primary race may not be
that upon which he will go to the people in the
general election.
News from California tells of changes Mr. SIM
clair is making III his platform When the Demo-
cratic convention is held Mr.. Sinclair's plan will
be submitted to committee, as is the custom at
all party conventions, and when that committee
gets through with it he hardly may recognize it.
Mr.. Sinclair came to Washington shortly after
the California primary and spent two hours in con-
ference with President Roosevelt. No word of
what TRANSFERRED at that conference was given out
but 1t may be that the President made some sug-
gestions relating to a Democratic platform for
California. At any rate, Mr. Sinclair, long a
stormy petrol in literature and more recently the
same in politics, shows tendency to listen to the
advice of others since his return from Washing
ton. 1t is said that he has had a conference with
George Creel, his leading opponent in the primary
and has asked Mr.. Creel to assist in drafting a
platform to be submitted to the state convention.
1t also is said that he has expressed willingness
to modify his plan for old age pensions, his tax
exemption proposal and his plans for communal
farms and state factories
Mr. Sinclair, if elected governor on a platform
drafted by representatives of all classes of the
people ought to make as good governor as the
average in California. He will hardly be the next
governor unless he consents to abandon some of
the projects included in his EPIC plan.-Spartan-
burg Herald.

FALL IN THE MOUNTAINS

The old habit still prevails for Summer visitors
to the mountain sections to pack up and come
home in early September, at the very beginning Of
the prettiest season of all, and that is the Fall,
when the color effect comes on. This is habit
largely contracted by necessity for parents to
bring the children home so that they might enter
school, But in recent times the visitors have been
manifesting disposition to tarry and in encour-
agement of this departure, McKee's fine establish
ment at High Hampton is going to keep open doors
until October 25th" 1t is likely that other hotels
will follow suit and that the season at the noun
tain resorts will be prolonged to the delight of all
who experience the privilege. Incidental to the
High Hampton departure, the hotel is sending out
series of hand-coored postal cards depicting the
lawns and the woods in full Autumn garb show
ing how the landscape looks when Autumn 'has
lit her torch at Summers fire., and that proves the
most fetching argument The Observer has noted
for prolongation of the season in the mountains

let our minds play around than
make them work.
"Ah," replied the principal,
when listener had delivered HIM
self of the foregoing ideas, chat
brings me to the fable of the mice
and the cat. The cat was constant
ly catching the mice. The mice
went into conference and decided
that the thing to do was to put
a bell on the cat so they could be
warned of her coming. The idea
was about to be unanimously
adopted when a wise old rodent
inquired: Who is going to bell the
cat?'''
Who" inquired the principal,
sis going to cause our young peo-
pie to feel an interest in religion
and philosophy and the higher
things in life?"
In the first place, the story of
the mice and the cat is a fable and
fable proves nothing. In the sec
ond place, mice never could bell
a cat; a stronger force would be
necessary for the job. There are
persons who are notably gifted in
arousing the interest Of young
people in the better and higher
things of life. Such talented per-
sons should be drafted to serve in
capacity in which no one else is
able to serve. 1t is as nonsensical
to put somebody at teaching who
can not teach, as to put some one
at running who can not run, at
rowing who can not row; at paint
, ing who can not paint, and at
singing who can not sing.
Those persons who have marked
ability to lead the thought of
youth into wholesome constructive
channels, should be secured fol
that important work and they
should be paid salaries attractive
enough to hold them. It is not
probable that adventurous, bub,
bling youth can be made to love
the serious, sober, higher things
in life above all other things ir
life; but under proper influences
young people can be made to re,
alize the necessity Of being de-
cent, of holding fast to decency

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
SHALL MACHINES BE TAXED OUT OF
EXISTENCE?

The sight of millions of men out of work is a
distressing sight. One remedy that is proposed is
to tax labor-saving machines so high that it will be
cheaper for the employer to pay the wages Of as
many men as the machine displaees rather than to
buy the machine.
That looks very simple But do the advocates
of making jobs in tbs fashion stop to consider
how far such a plan would go? Instead of the
railroad we would be forced back to the ox-cart
A great many more men would be required to
drive all the OK carts than are required to run all
the trains-provided there remained as much haul
ing to do as there is now.
But, the same process of driving machines out
of use would be in process in other industries a.

Judged by the instance above,
the young people of today are no
different from the young people

I think we would have voted over
whelmingly to see minstrel per-

1t is human nature to play and
to take life lightly; not only is
that true of the youngsters, but
it is largely true of the oldsters.

WASHINGTON. - Chairman My

That's part of the background in
the battle which mary people fore,

on the issue of COLLECTIVE bargain

Elections will be held in steel
plants and there Is no longer the
slightest doubt that the Stacy
group will rule that employers
must deal with whichever union
wins a majority vote as the repre-.
sentative of all workers.

principle was repudiated by Gen.

ON THE CONSTITUTION RESTS
OUR LIBERTY
CBy BRUCE CATTON)


Among the things that every school
child is taught is the fact that the Constl-
tuition of the United States is document
of great value and deep wisdom.
This is certainl; true enough, and it is
a wise and beneficial thing for us to set
aside one day every year as Constitution
Day." But the school children and We
older folk are alike in one thing-we sell
dom bother to read this document to which
we do homage.
Our observance of the day ought to be-
gin with that. For it is only by studying
the Constitution, and seeing precisely what
it does and does not say, that We can be-
gin to understand what a stalwart bull
wark of human liberty it really is.
And after We have read it, it is good
mental exercise to go back and have a
look at the circumstances under which it
was written and adopted.
The colonies had won their indepen-
dence from England-and they hardly
knew what to do with it. They were
weak, scattered, beset by myriad of an
tagOnismS and suspicious. They were di-
vided geographically and socially. Some
influential men would not have been sorry
to see an American king; others preferred
even the loose and inefficient articles of
confederation, believing that these at least
left the individual secure in his own free
dom.
Out of all of this confusion and clash
of opposing forces came the Constitution );
and reading it, with its background in
pind, one cannot fail to gain new ad-
miration for the men who concocted it.
They did their utmost to preserve the
people from tyranny and oppression; they
wrote the most rigid safeguards they could
devise to keep despotism out of the coun-
try; they set up the elaborate, and subse-
quently famous, system of checks and bal
ances to make certain that no one branch
of the government would ever become too
powerful.
This document has been in effect for
nearly $50 years. 1t is as strong today as
when it was adopted-stronger, in fact,
for it is buttressed by years of observance.
Under it the people of the United States
have recorded great and glorious history.
Today We are passing through one of
those times of stress which test any gov
ernmental charter. 1t is up to US to re-
member the strength which the Constitu-
ton has given US in the past-and to vow
that it shall come through these troublous
days unweakened either in letter or in OBJ
servance.
