NEWSPAPERS OPINION
LAST NOT FIRST RESORT

ATTORNEY General Brummitt, who is rather con-
spcuously against the prevailing state adniihistra-
ton, no matter particularly who may be headihs
II and who has set himself rather resoiuteiy
against some of the legislation sponsored by the
present Raleigh regime, says OF the Gales tax tha'
this should be the last and not the hrst resort as
a source of state revenue ~ q. .... 49,,
There will be somewhat general agreement as
to that dictnm. g.. .. ,..., .--
The attorney general, who is just now more IN
terested in beating the new constitution proposed
than in running the sales tax out of the house ana
home in North Carolina, fails by this comment 70
commit himself irrevocably for or against it,.
AS a matter of fact, no claim has been made IN
the way of justifying the sales tax levy imposed
by the last legislature except that OF its lnevlta-
bility,. -. ... - ..s,...
Saving the credit of the state saving the schools
and saving, the homes and farms of the people,
that is the defense of Governor Ehringhaus. IN
triplicate for his stand on this question.
o. The latter virtually is saying now that this
phase of the justification of the sales tax has not
been eliminated. b.. FL.
The three detectives for which it was created
remain to challenge a continuation of the levy.
That's the governors position. ..
Whether the legislature will see the question
through those eyes is conjectural Willard Dowell,
secretary of the North Carolina Merchants Asso-
citation, announces that majority of those who
will constitute the next general assembly will be
against the sales tax.
They may be, and yet the sales tax may be con-
tnued. a
The legislature that imposed it was against it.
But the governors program of redemption won
that body over to the inevitabty of this form of
|revenue-raising.
Unless somebody can produce the evidence that
the inevitability of the tax has been removed, it
will likely stay. And Mr., Brummitt who opposes it
certainly fails to sweep that phase of it away in
his Observation-Disclosures Observer.

WERE THEY EVER PRINCES?

From Paris comes the news that Princess Bar
bara Hutton Mdiyani's romance with her Georgian
husband is dead. They were married less than a
year ago. What surprises one is that the romance
has lived even this long.
At the time the couple were wed, the press was
informed that the lovely Barbara, heiress to $780,
100000 left her by her grandfather the late Frank
w. Woolworth, had made Substantial and salts
factory cash settlement on her princely husband
Many an American heiress has made similar
deal, which in the majority of cases, has ended in
a similar manner. But the Mdivani boys-Alexis,
Davis, and Serge-should be awarded the gold
medal for making princesses out of American girls
getting Substantial and satisfactory cash settle
ments," and then visiting the divorce courts
These boys, it appears, earn their living in this
manner. And, no doubt. it is most satisfactory
living.
One wonders if any of their American wives
such as Miss Hutton, Miss Louise Astor Van Aleu-
Miss Mae Murray, or Miss Mary McCormic, ever
went to the trouble of finding out whether or not
they are really princes. According to history it
has been many and many decade since Georgia
had king!-Charlotte Observer

that we were too busy, or that
politics was too dirty to warrant

But we are getting educated,

opened our eyes to just how much
politics meant to US. We reahzed
that ,rottenness in government
meant rottenness in, business,
rottenness in churches, rotten

that the crooked politics which
we had laughed at or sneered at
and had thought separate and
apart from our lives had invaded
and wrecked our lives. had de-

explained it all to us and told us

poured more disinfectant on our

that both girls and boys who excel in

WE MIGHT PUT SCIENCE TO
BENEFICIAL USEcf >
lBy BRUCE CATTONl

The job of the scientist, says Secretary
of Agriculture Henry Wallace inca recent
Scientific American, is not finished when
he has handed the world new discovery.
He ought to be prepared to insist that his
discovery be used to benefit mankind.
The secretary's remark is not new
complaint, but since it is one that has been
constantly ignored for many decades, it is
worth while to stop and have another look
at it. .u
Instead of complacent after-dinner
speeches in sweeping defense of SCIENCE"
says Mr.. Wallace, 81 should like to, find
our more articulate scientists insisting that
the benefactions Of science be used only in
ways that are plainly in the general wei
fare.
1T would be encouraging to find, among
scientists everywhere, some evidence of
honest indignation at the way the gifts of
science have been turned against society
and therefore against science ITSELF"
1t takes only very little thought to re-
veal what the secretary is talking about.
Brilliant men. for example, discover the
secret of flight, and enable men to soar
through the air like the birds; and so far
the chief result has been to make war in
fnitely more horrible and to include WON

THANKS TO RADIO
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

to fool person over the radio.
Play-acting does not go over the
radio. The fake mesmerism of
personality that carries from the
platform gets lost in the rifle
over the radio. All the listener
hears is the voice. If that voice
is insincere. the listener senses
the fact. The respectable scamp
who might fool an audience that
could see him, can not fool the
audience that merely hears him.
Yes, the breed of politicians is
improving, and largely because
of radio. The people are easy
to reach over the radio and they
are hard to fool over the radio.
The professional politician can't
back-slap and baby-kiss over the
radio. He must actually put out
something; he can't get by with
mere bunk.
The old-time kind of politician
is wondering now what to do
with radio; his idea is to get con-
troll of it and make it difficult
if not impossible to use radio for
good government purposes. He
hopes to be able to subsidize
radio. Just as some newspapers
are subsidized; watch out for
that!
Yes, we are getting better pol
iticians. IF we keep going this
way, we shall in time make pol
itics respectable, and politicians
respected. But we can not go to
sleep: we must keep everlasting
" at it. Politics is like your
body; it will get dirty if you
neglect it. You and | and every
body else must make it part
of our business to continue to
improve the breed of politicians,
if we would have this land be-
come a better and better place
in which to live. We should raise
the standard of our politicians to
compare with our pure-bred hogs
and chickens, and for the same
reason that we have pure-bred
hogs and chickens-it is to our
advantage to do so.
Don't forget your debt of
gratitude to radio. And don't

READING LIST FOR PARENTS


Several parents who have en-
loved a little book | recommend
for children who want to know
where babies come from (Growing
Up, by De SchweinitiZ), have ask
ed me what they and their young
sters ought to read next.
One of the sanest, most fOlksy
and readable discussions for par
ents that I have come across, is
Burgers GROWING UP WITH
OUR CHILDREN. 1t contains a
lot of excellent suggestions on
how to manage children, general
ly, as we'll as how to handle the
question of sex instructions. Sim
liar. but somewhat more technical,
is SEX IN CHILDHOOD, by Err
nest R. and Gladys H. Groves, of
the University of North Carolina.
Parents will be helped lot by
reading these two books.
For boys who want to know
about the many angles Of that i'm
portant business, growing into
manhood. a fellow who under
stands boys thoroughly has writ
ten a book by this name. GROW
ING INTO MANHOOD, by Roy f.
Dickerson, can be. placed in the
hands of young boys, without en-
phasizing sex; for it takes up lots
of other things that boys want to
know about, like exercise, athlet-
les, and so fourth. He has written
another book. so YOUTH MAY

by boys and girls over sixteen.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: Dear DR.. Rich
ardson: l hear and read so much
about the changing home" these
DAYS. Does this mean that the
old-fashioned home is going out
of date? And if so, what is to
replace it?
ANSWER: If by the cold fash
toned home" you mean the one
where father was the autocrat
and mother the doormat. then |
hope it does mean that it is out.
If on the other hand the cold
fashioned home" means the one
like my own boyhoom home,-tha
place where we got our standards
and had our very best time,-
then I certainly hope and believe
that it is anything but out. If
that kind of a home is out, then
for one am at loss as to how
We are to replace it; for it was
an incalculable asset in the life
Of the American people.
QUESTION: How can I keep

sight of the fact that there is

must consider in, this matter of
