NEW MILESTONE IN OLD NORTH STATES
PROGRESS

North Carolina reached a new high-water mark
in its progress in March by killing rs persons and
manning 35S on its highways in automobile acct
dents
As result, politicians in Raleigh are agitatng
increasing automobile license tags one dollar in
order to increase the size of the state highway
patrol
The highway patrol was originally under the
jurisdiction of the highway commission and had
prospects of being real help in cutting down ae-
eidents on North Carolina highways.
Then the 1881 general assembly switched the
highway patrol to the revenue department and put
on the patrolmen certain tax collecting duties At
the same time the business of inspecting gasolines
and oils was taken away from the department OF
agriculture and also put on the shoulders of the
highway patrol.
There is no doubt that these two extra burdens
decreased the efficiency of the patrol in protect
ing motorists
1t is grim humor now to ask the motorists To
pay one dollar extra their automobile tags in
order 20 pay expenses that are properly charge
against other branches of the government.
The humor is especially grim when it is favored
with the blood of people who have lost their lives
on the highways of North Carolina because the
legislature refused to allow the patrolmen to pro-
tect them-Fayetteville Observer.

PROFITS MENACED
BY RISING PRICES
Professors Worried by Reaction
of Consumer to Higher
Retail Basis.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. August l4.-To what
extent profit margins in certain in
dustries will be affected by the recent
sharp advance in commodity levels
is a matter Of conjecture among Wall
Street economists.
It is figured that the higher levels
of grains, cotton and some other COM
modities add fresh complexities to the
problems of the professors. Even in
the present situation. It is contended,
the manufacturers are having plenty
of worries, owing to high production
costs and limited outlets for their
goods.
The position Of cotton spinners is
considered especially difficult, in view
of the likelihood Of consumer resist
ance to selling prices, based on pres
ent raw-cotton values, processing
taxes and the cost factors incident to
the N. r. A.
But on the other hand, the cotton
spinner or miller or other manufac-
turer, it is contended, cannot dis
card the possibility Of imitation and
a further advance in prices, which
would leave him badly handicapped
If he failed to cover at least some OF
his requirements at the present scale
Of prices.

as reported is necessary. The actual figure

as reported IS necessary The actual figure
Is apt to turn out larger, if anything.
How could it be otherwise? There are close
10 100000 persons on relief. The number
will be larger this winter. Most Of the burden
falls upon the federal government Even the
most conservative citizen now admits that
those unfortunate Americans can not be left
without food and shelter.
The question is not how much to spend
this year That is determined by the extent
Of unemployment, which in turn was de-
termined last summer by the failure Of private
business to revive and take up the unemploy-
ment slack The question now is whether
present administration policies are such as
to stimulate business revival to sufficient pro-
portions by next year that the relief burden
OF the fall and winter Of 1885 viii be less.
The fact that business activity is lower and
unemployment is higher now than one year
ago today, is proof Of the inadequacy Of pres
ent New Deal agencies. Reorganization Of
those agencies better coordination, and
more definite administration recovery policy
are necessary, in our judgment, to advance
the Imping New Deal. What the administra-
ton does during the next few months will
decide whether the country is up or down a
year from today.
Meanwhile it is futile for any one to whine
about the present relief burden. The money
must be spent both for the purpose of feed
ing those 100000 worst depression victims
and also to feed private industry which-for
the moment at least-win starve without gov
eminent orders.
OF course, the public should demand that
these relief funds be spent in the most effec-
tive way. But apparently there is not much
reason for worry now on that score. The
general relief policy. as far as it has been dis
closed through leaks and official hints, is two
fold First, that most relief be in the form
of work rather than outright doles. And Sec
ond, that as much money as practicable be
spent on low-cost housing. That seems to be
an intelligent general approach.
1t is most important however, for all Of
us to realize that such government eXpendi-
lures, necessary as they are, will not alone
pull us out of the depression any more than
relief expenditures during the last year have
pulled us out. Either private capital must
go back to work-producing equipment, houses,
goods and jobs-or within the next year the
government itself will be forced to go into
business to produce those goods and jobs on
a scale of government-operation never before
even contemplated in the United States.

JOBS MUST DEVELOP

DONALD RICHBERG'S warning that the
- government will have to spend huge adj
ditional sums to put men to work if more en-
poyment is not created in private industry is
simply plain statement of an obvious fact.
We have carried the unemployment burden
so long that it is beginning to be a Gripping
load We can continue to pour out millions of
dollars week to support the jobless for few
more months or few more seasons, but we
can't continue it indefinitely Sooner or later
we must find a way of hooking these men up
to jobs.
If private industry RECEIVERS enough to pro-
vide the jobs, well and good. If it does not,
Uncle Sam will have to see what he can do.
There is no escape from this dilemma. In
one way or another, the men now out of work
must be given a chance to become wage earn
ers again.

NEW DEAL REGARDED
AS STRANGE DEAL

By Robert E. A. CrookstOn.
To me, the New Deal is a strange
deal, indeed. The present admin
STATIONS, both state and national,
are pulling off some vaudeville
stunts which I am unable to under
stand. 1t is too much of a puzzle
and I would like to be enlightened.
When the seventy-third congress
met, We were promised that pros
perity would soon be here through
the efforts of the New Deal; that
the credit system Of the country
would again become sound; unem-
ployment would decrease, and that
We would live happily ever after.
Here are the results Of the New
Deal: Our nation IS around twenty
seven billion dollars in debt; our
credit system is topping on the
brink OF ruin; unemployment is
steadily on the increase; our unem-
ployment relief is an unsatisfactory
mess, both to those on relief and TO
the taxpayer, as the relief worker
is not receiving enough to exist
upon and the taxpayer will have to
pay the bill sooner or later.
In that bill will be found millions

HURTS OWN ARGUMENT

DRESIDENT GLENN FRANK of the Uni
l. versity of Wisconsin tells an interviewer
that We must throw the throttle wide open on
mass production and clear the way for one
way trip to a richer and more stable America.
His call for recognition of the fact that our
current problems stem from an economics of
plenty rather than of scarcity will strike a re-
sponsive chord among many Americans, to be
sure; and it is heartening to observe that he
wants to see the recovery effort go forward
with all speed.
But it is a little bit hard to understand why
given this attitude-President Frank insisted
that Chairman Lloyd K. Garrison of national
labor relations board give up his government
post and return to his duties at the university
Mr.. Garrison had made splendid record.
President Roosevelt wanted him to stay in
Washington To let him stay would have been
to make pretty fair contribution to this
recovery effort.
