NEWSPAPERS, OPINION
SOME THING ON THE CREDIT SIDE

Merle Thorp has no fondness or favor for what
he contends to be the sociastic influences that are
in control off the National Administration and
weaving in and out of congress with their distinctly
radical legislation. .,
There is, of course good case to make out
for individual initiative which is Mr. Thorps pet
bobbv and which should be enthroned IN the de-
Examinations of every American citizen.
With all the errors and wckedness and corrup-
ton and Immortality associates with capitalist So
ciety, it must be admitted that its ledger carries
few items on the credit side.
Mr.. Thorp gives significant eatalog of what
the United States has accomplished under indvj-
vidual initiative.
In the United States, which has only per cent
of the worlds population, more. than half of the
worlds wealth has been created. and distributed
so equtably that drastic immigration laws had to
be passed to keep the rest of the world from send
ing its citizens to our shores for share of the
opportunities we present. -
On seven per cent of the worlds acreage We
harvest more than half of the worlds foodstuffS.
We have produced go per cent of the worlds auto
mobiles and kept 90 per cent at home for our own
use.
Of our farms 81 per cent are unencumbered and
of our homes SIS per cent are free of debt.-Char

MAN WITHOUT A CREED

Fred Erwin Beal may be back in this country,
but he is not doing time for 'murder-not yet. 1t
is hard to believe that the light haired soft voiced
in-and-outer can be sincere in his grand declara-
ton that it is better to be an American convict
than Russian citizen 1t is hard to believe, in
deed that he is sincere in anything. He may take
the rap" his IT years in the North Carolina pen-
Tertiary, for the Aderholt killing in 1929, but it
would be more like him to disappear again.
This section first knew him as an humble textile
worker looking for job which was subterfugc.
He was labor agitator, here to organize strike.
Which he did. But he was no Communist. He gave
that assurance day by day. Still, he was Com
munist. That came out very soon, when his asso-
ciates focked in and with him sought to stir up re-
in the wake of his leadership. When he was con-
victed, he skipped his bond and fed to Russia as
sanctuary against horrors of the capitalist baronS.
He had served Leninism we'll in this country, and
over there he claims to have amounted to some
thing. t'r :. S. '.t
Now he is back, piously denouncing those who
protected him and fed him, and eashing in on his
reputation at so much a word. It would come
with greater chance of credibiity if he could show
the record that while in Russia he sought to over
throw the Red government with strikes and insidi-
Gus propaganda as he sought to 'scutte the estab-
lished institutions in this country. But he did not
and he will not Those Russians have their own way
of handling dissenters. And even, we have roads
which need to be built--Charlotte News.

themselves in the corridors in their offices and
elsewhere soundly opposed to much of the legis-
iation that is being enacted at Washington and yet

AS a result Of the pillaging Of
this bank, an entire community
was demoralized. Old people, wild
ows and orphans were left pen
niless; homes were lost; businesses
destroyed; many despairing per-
sons took their own lives.
Yet this banker who deliberately
wrought this awful havoc, was re-
Quired to spend but two-and-a-
half years in confinement; while
the woman convicted for impe-
tuously and passionately Staying
another woman who had appropri-
ated her husband, paid the penalty
of twelve years and fifteen days.
When the crstwhilc banker got
home, his house was filled with
flowers. Hundreds telephoned and
hundreds called. He walked the
streets like a hero-martyr. The
first time he went to church he
was given almost an ovation.
When. the woman got out of
prison, she received no ovation.
However, the woman had not been
affiliated with, and had not play
ed around with a powerful poll

she was convicted had not filled
the pockets and purses of the
members and friends Of a pow
erful political ring.

THE PRELUDE TO REVOLUTION

The Roosevelt administration is wanting in the
honest courage to impose taxes to balance the
budget. The just and wise procedure would be not
only to impose heavier income and inheritance
taxes on the rich to meet the country's expenses,
but to impose them on men and women in general
who have incomes more than necessary to keep
soul and body together. One is quite willing that
the rates be graduated that they fall more heavily
on the multi-monaire than on the 5000 month
man, but why should the 5000 month man be
exempt?
The ruin of the republic by borrowings finally
ending in reputation and currency imitation would
be. his ruin, and the duty of paying his share of
the bills should be brought home to him.
The Roosevelt administration does not suggest
such course. To do so it does not dare. 1t wants
to spend billions and lead the people into the fools
paradise of belief that it can borrow money with
out ever calling upon them to pay. 1t is treating
the American voters as if they were children 1t
may be that some of them children. .,t
The News and Courier enters objection to no
kind of taxation to raise revenues to pay the gov
ernment's bills Government. can't make the rich
pay them. 1t might confscate every fortune of ten
million dollars or more, take every penny of them,
it might exterminate the rich root and branch, and
still the mere people would have huge load to
carry as long as it spends eight billion dollars
year.
The talk about emergency" is stuff and nom
sense. If this country cannot pay the reasonable
cost of an adequate government now without Dor
rowing billions, it is hopeless country, its day is
done. 1t had better seek a Japanese protectorate.
The incumbent administration won't face the
facts 1t won't be candid. 1t wants above all things
to be reelected. Why think about the existence
of the American republic? The revolution is on"
