NEWSPAPERS OPINION
"sHARE.THE.wEALTH" COUNTRY

Russia furnishes a practical example OF snare
tbe-wealth' program. Eighteen years ago the plan
was mt into operation. The property OF the gov
eminent the churches, the colleges, and the veal
thy was seized by the communists for Distribution
to the masses.
What is the situation in Russia today?
Numbers of persons who have visited that coul'-
try in recent years report that millions OF people
are actually starving to death.
One of the latest travellers to tell what he learned
on trip to Russia was Robert l.. Ripley creator
of the popular believe 1t or Not" newspaper TEA
ture. He visited Russia about year ago. In an
address recently, he said:
Believe it or mott is not paradise, but a
paradox. Russia is gigantic poorhouse where
millions of people are on the verge of starvation
at this moment"
Mr.. Ripley quoted Professor L. Tarasseevich,
noted Russian sociologst, in an official report -
the League of Nations saying 3O,0OO,OOO Rus
slams have starved to death since adopting the
share-the-wealth' plan. He said in travelling from
one end of Russia to the other, he never saw dog
or cat because all of these animals have been eaten
for food
"Share-the-wealth" may sound fine, but in prac-
tce it cannot work satisfactorily. Hard work with
reasonable compensation is much be-
ter than hard work with only starvation the re-
ward Gaffney Ledger.

ILLINOIS WOMEN MAY
HAVE JURY RIGHTS

SPRINGFIELD, April Is. -
CUP. - Although women vote
and can stand for public office
in Illinois, they can't serve on a
iurv so the states bachelor Gov
ernor, Henry Homer, and a bach
elor state senator, j. S. Mundy
of Marshall, are seeking to
change the law to give them equal
jury rights width men.
Some years ago the assembly
passed measure to allow women
to serve on iuries, but tackled a
rider on it to the effect that it
must also be approved at state
woe referendum. This approval
was gained, but held invalid by
the supreme court which said it
was 4 delegation CT legislative
power.
This time the women seek to
have the legislature grant them
equal jury privileges and picked

lead the fight in the senate and

tive Mrs. Bernice Van Der Vries,
Winnctl-a Republican, in the
house. Governor Horner says
he'll sign the first measure which
comes to him.
SO far Mundy is leading in the
race to enact the law, but Re
publican gallantrv is delaying
aanat2 to enable Mrs. Van Der
Fries, who reDlaced Mrs. Harold
Ickes, wife of Secretary Of In
terror likes, in the Illinois house,
to have her bill enacted.
Twice Mundy has unanswered
his measure to the passage stage
only to have it fall short of a
few votes and then have further
consideration postponed. Mrs.
Van Der Vries feels that because
the proposal is to benefit wo-
men that the measure should be
sponsored by a woman and that
should yield.

Conductor Walter Damrosch, who

Metropolitan opera house, wants
to hear good, oid-fashioned "belly

"Why not?" asked the 73-year-
old maestro. every one should
be able to laugh and enjoy the
show as well as listen to good
music. Opera must gain the sup
port of the masses. To do that it
must be sung in English.
Every other country sings

ought to do the same. But OPP

OPPORTUNITY CoNFRONTS OUR
FARMERS

Farmers who keep informed about pro-
duction and marketing believe that condl-
tions are shaping up for a profitable sea-
son for the cultivators of the land in the
mountain country. Calamities in other sec
lions of the country, producing crop fail
ures or reducing production, together with
the federal governments policy of making
agricultural products scarce instead OF
plentiful, will create demand for the prod
ucts of the mountain section. This state
ment applies especially to fruits and vege-
tables. The country is going to face big
demand, decreased supply of farm prod
ucts, and higher prices
The farmers of this section will certainly
be acting in accordance with the dictates
of common sense and business intelligence
if they undertake this season to cultivate
every acre of tillable land and make it pro
duce maximum crops. Our farmers should
strive to have as much as possible to sell in
the markets during the Spring, Summer
and next Winter. With big demand and
fair prices they can make money, If their
production plans are correct and are fol-
lowed through. If they fail to produce and
do not have the stuff for sale, they cannot
go into the markets and make money.
That is an easy and certain conclusion
Production must precede selling. The
farmer who does not produce cannot sell.
A study of production and market con-
ditions at this time, we think will convince
the farmers of this section that the markets
are not going to be overloaded with prod
ucts of the kinds grown in this area and
that the general scarcity throughout the
country of farm products will make better
markets and higher prices.
Our farmers are. facing an opportunity
this year 1t is a recovery opportunity-a
chance for them to recover in large meas
use from the hard knocks the depression"
has administered in the past several years.
Big crops and better prices will certainly
bring about this condition; but the PROPOSE
ton is based on production. If the land is
left uncultivated, or little effort is made for
maximum production, the net result will be
small crops for sale in this area, and small
crops will not bring much cash, regardless
of the altitude of prices.
1t seems to The Times-News that a sea-
son of better conditions is ahead for our
farmers, through combination of circum-
stances over which they have no control,
united with conditions which they control
definitely. This is to say that nationwide
conditions are working for the farmers OF
this mountain country this year; but they
must take advantage of the conditions and
do their part to cash in the profits of bet
ter markets and higher prices.
1t will be grave mistake for any of our
farmers to fail in taking advantage of all
opportunities this year to help themselves
and to profit through the unfavorable con-
ditions existing in other parts of the coun-
try. The time to sell farm products at a
profit is when the demand exists and the
demand will exist in a season OF scarcity,
nomatter whether the scarcity results from
nataral or artificial causes.

Every insider knew by this time

"BUT ONLY HAD ONE DRINK"

An analysis of 119 automobile accidents involv-
ing the death of 216 persons, made in Milwaukee
by Herman A. Heise, NJ. D., and published in the
journal of the American Medical Association,
shows that it is not primarily the abvious drunk
who constitutes major road menace but the
drinking driver'-the man who thinks he can
drive as we'll after little nip.
Dr. Heise found that the alcohol accidents most
y after little nips, responsible for injury or
death to more than two people per accident. while
the non-alcohol accidents involved only slightly
more than one person per accident. There is di-
rect relationship between the severity of the acct
dent and the amount of alcohol from which the
only-one-lltte-nipper may draw the conclusion that
ne IS relatively unlikely to kill anyone, but may
merely mann someone for life. This knowledge
should be relief
considering person sober as long as he can
still walk ard talk is responsible for the small
value OF present-day statistics regarding the rea-
tlonshlp OF alcohol to automobile accidents DR..

pRoeeSNe TAXES

To those of my r4R<s{a who are little hazy as

provided through processing tax of thirty cents

Paying four cents a pound above the market
price for cotton is closing down numerous mills
throughout the South and in New England. Japan
is underselling our mills right here at home and
taking away our foreign markets. Japan pays no

of American workers. That situation cannot last
for long, else our mills will all close and then en-

Further, it appears that mills cannot operate on

WHY SUPPORT ANY CHURCH?

Is there any reason why an average citizen of
Marion should support some church in its midst?
The question is asked, not for the purpose Of
pleasing what some call the church crowd, but TO
be considered by those who do not consider 1t IS
any duty of theirs to give support to any church.
We can think of several reasons why every good
citizen should cooperate with religious organza-
tons For one thing no matter how far the goal
may be missed, the aim of the church is to make
men and women lead better lives and live more
unselfshly That is, all will admit, splendid pur-
pose.
The inevitable answer that church people are no
better than other people is unfortunately too often
true with this exception that those in the various

varying degrees of success strive to live in accord
