Economist
 One of the important aspects of this legislation as introduced by Senator Wagner of New York and Representative Lewis of Maryland is the administration of the bil- lions of dollars which will be in- volved through the 3 per cent tax on payrolls for unemployment re- serves.
 The investmeht of these accumu- lated funds would present d prob- le mthat might easily develop into national menace, with the secre- tary of the treasury granted au- thority to invest or reinvest all or any part of the funds in govern ment securities, or government guaranteed securities.
 This phase was strikingly pre- sented in 8 report published by the University of Minnesota. which said, in part:
 government bonds during the boom period would clearly be to stimu- late investment . a stimulus to- "oi Aoi 6Vi Sdpitdl would therefore follow from this policy, and the boom would thus be intensified. On the other hand. the payment of unemployment benefits from tho sale of bonds during the depression period would necessarily tend to depreciate the bond market and intensity the H. quidation process. and to this ex- tent increase the severity of the depression.'
 The three per cent tax on pay rolls, which would increase in a. mount as an employer increased his employment, contradicts the age old theory that an employer was contributing 10 the welfare of the community when he took on addi- tional workers. It obvious that every time we tax the giving of employment we are putting an ad- ditional obstacle in the path of in- dividuals seeking to find jobs.
 Another aspect to be consider ed is that every increase in wages or salaries made by an employer will increase the tax he must pay.
 What will an employer do who Is taxed because he gives employ ment or because he raises wages? When we analyze this question we find that the employer will be limited to the following answers: Tn the first place he may pass the cost on to the consumer. A few companies will be able to do this wholly, q larger number will be able to pass on a part of the in- crease in higher prices. and many companies will be unable to pass on any of the increased cost. Or as a second alternative the

MAY GOD HELP THE CONSUMER

When Secretary Wallace started his destruction
of crops hogs, cattle, etc, as means of raising
prices the drought that followed was not part of
his plan, and the processing tax could have been
discarded then and there. But the politics back OF
this plan assumed to much Importance This direct
contact with the farmers would be valuable at cleo
ton time
The high prices that were automatically created
by the efforts of Secretary Wallace and much
stimulated by the widespread drought brought us
imports from other countries to the value of hum
dreds of millions of dollars. 1t has been roughly
estimated that thirteen million of land would
have been required to raise the products which
were imported due to Wallace's control policy. If
had counted the export business we lost because
of his efforts it has been stated, approximately 20
million acres of land could have been used. And If
we should estimate profit Of say, ten dollars an
acre for these % million acres of land, the farmers
of this country would have lost $50 million dollars
The consumer has been compelled to pay the
price for all this wasteful experimentation, and
although they may complain now and then, they
are powerless. They are unorganized. However
they can do some organizing for the next election
That is their only chance for relief-Liberty Maya

NEWSPAPERS OPINION


When prohibition was repealed, it was supposed
to be done for the general good. To provide lawful
places for the obtaining of liquor, and to require
the closing of these places with the falling of night
supposed to be the best way of handling the
liquor question The liquor stores were not to be-
come hangouts for the crowd that made the old
time bar-room a resort of every sort of promoter
of vice and crime.
Along with the repeal of the prohibition or the
sale of liquors went the repeal of the prohibition
of advertising liquors. That was not logical. 1t was
merely because the means of enforcing prohibition
were embodied in the code for prohibiting the sale
of the liquor.
The purpose of the present liquor law IS sup
posed to be to reduce the evils of the liquor traffic
to the lowest possible extent 1t is directly contrary
to that purpose to permit the stimulation of the
appetite for liquor and the increase of its consump
ton through advertising.
Advertising liquor should be prohibited, as con-
trary to the very purpose of temperance, as need
lessly offensive to large part of the community,
and as a direct incentive to thousands of persons
who otherwise would not drink to fill themselves
with liquors of the various varieties, represented
by all the arts of publicity to be something highly
desirable.-Newberry IS. c. Observer

MONEY MAKING

No matter what the social theorists and the mod
ern faddists may say about it, making money will
continue to be the norm of the human determine
ton.
There is political society extant, and spreading
in America, which insists that the profit motive
should come out of all of the labor and Drawn Of
brain.
That man should work only for production and
then the production of the work of all men should
be conferred in some sort of clearing sup-
pose, and re-distrOuted on an equal basis Of need
Bosh! 80 ~,
That's not the way Nature fashioned the human
family. -.... ,-s
We are so made to love the things that money
will buy that we are energized to work for them
The non-proft idealists would be compelled,
therefore, first of all to get something out of the
human race that God put in there Sefore they
could ever get the tiniest start toward an economy
based upon their foolishness-JuIian S. Miller in
Charlotte Observer.

cONVIcTS

The information is that $4,000 convicts annually
walk out of the prisons and pententiaries of the
United States free men by the abused system of
pardon or parole
Another alarming statistic as given is that so
per cent of those sent into these institutions
serve out the time given them in their original
sentence.
Perhaps, we here put finger upon one of the
reasons that crime flourishes in the fertility of the
forgiving soul of America.
A rucus is often raised that policemen are in
efficient and that the courts are obsolete and inert
in dealing with Twentieth Century criminals.
Why should officers of the law and juries and
judges work their heads off for the conviction of
law-breakers, only to have them sent up and Their
obliged with the naudlin charity of pardon and pa
role officials?
Fortunately, North Carolina is not in this habit
The setup in Raleigh for the determination Of
this matter is ably and conscientiously handled

tions that would be worse with
out them. But no laws we can
ever devise will give US security
ard peace except when and until
those laws represent the earnest
desire and the cooperation of the
public. The prohibition law is a
vivid illustration of that fact.
Our only hope of establishing
the kind of social order which we
want, and which we must have if
we are ever to live in reasonable
comfort and contentment, is thru
the proper education Of the indi-
vidual as to his obligations and
responsibilities to his fellows and
to himself.
That education should be given
through our schools. It is worth
infinitely more to the welfare and
advancement of the people and of
the nation than all the conglom-
iefation of studies through which
the pupils of today are required
terrace OF ramble.
Our entire educational system,
I think, is lopsided and off the
track. That our school system is
failing-as real values are meas
ured-is attested to by the fact
that more and more, our men Of
academic and cultural education
are drifting into the crime-life of
our nation. AS one nationally
known warden expressed it. if
that trend continues, college
alumni associations will have to
establish branches in the peniten-
tiaries.
The most highly educated ma
ton has been the worlds greatest
criminal. Does that prove any
thing to us? 1t should prove to us
conclusively something that we
ought already to know; namely,
that proficiency in the sciences,
in the arts, and in all things in
tellectual, has not, of necessity,
anything to do with proficiency
in things spiritual.

To the foregoing proposal is
raised the objection that this
would mean class legislation, since
most men of Independent means

them to see things from the view

Yes, our American schools are
sadly missing the mark in educa-

ize that fact is to listen with a
discriminating mind to the speech
es and talks OF some of our edu-
cational leaders, up and down the
line from principals of grammar
schools to presidents of UNIVERSE

1t might seem that the older
men should dominate the affairs
of a nation; for they have had
more experience, they have seen
more Of life than the rest Of the
people. But unless they have had
sufficient moral training, unless
they have been educated and dis,
ciplined so that their spiritual
faculties have become operative,
there is no reason to believe that
they will be any more honest and
