RUMORs

Waynesville MOuntaineer is troubled be-
cause of rumors which circulate in It's town
and county. At this time, of course, some
of them relate to infantile paralysis, but
the rumor-circulators do not eonfine their
efforts to this excuse for preYaricatlng,
They have killed several people in Hay
wood county in automobile accidents n
which the parties were hardly scratched.
However, the manufacturers and dlstrlDu-
tors of rumors are never at loss for ma
teriaI to be fabricated into lies and The
Mountaineer finds them interested and &C
tive in its town and county.
In Henderson county similar conditions
prevail. They never let week pass here
without killing several persons in automo-
bile accidents and many other lurid stories
get on the wing and go flying around the
town and county.
If the rumor-spreaders would talk about
worthwhile, if they would gath
er facts and disseminate accurate informa-
ton, and help to build constructive sentl-
ment in Henderson county, it is difficult to
estimate how much they would be worth
as citizens. There are matters and cOndi-
tions in the county that should be approved
and boosted and others that should be con-
demned. In fact there are great opportunl-
ties for constructive takers; so why be
destructive rumorer of idle tales or PLAIN
or fancy lies?

LIQUOR CONTROLS

Those who talk about "liquor control" should
add the "s' to make sense, for liquor controls in
stead of being controlled. Charity and Children
tells the story well and so truthfully that you
have chance to read what that publication says
in the following words:
'There is right much being said of liquor control
these days. A number of counties have voted to
give liquor control of things. The young Democrats
are willing for liquor to control North Carolina
and at least candidate for governor has come
out for liquor control. There were number of
liquor statesmen in Raleigh last week who very
much interested in letting liquor control North
Carolina. Liquor is no novice when it comes to
controlling It has had lot of experience and
knows just how to do that very thing. 1t controls
mans legs and judgment. 1t controls man
while driving a car. 1t controls a mans income
and forbids shoes for the children 1t is an adept
when it comea to politics. 1t has controlled many
an election and put the of its choice in office.
1t knows how to control some sheriffs and police
and can make them stone blind where it's interests
simple think they control it. 1t is standing by
at this very time and wnks while people talk about
controlling it for it knows full well who will con-
troll. It is not disturbed at the most solemn prom
ses of its servants for it knows that of them
will be kept. 1t was not at all disturbed when the
President of the United States solemnly promised
to protec dry states. In fact that promise brought
chuckle from the controller Liquor conro? Yes,
liquor controls. Marshville Home.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
AND STILL THE DEFICIT GROWS

The government of the United States will spend
nearly four thousand million dollars more than Its
income in 1886, The United States News says,
Taxes will meet only tenth of the deficit. And
this by an administration which, going into office
promised to balance the budget and to practice
economy!
Each month in the fiscal year just starting
900, 600 900 more dollars are scheduled to pour
out of the federal treasury than will flow n'' says
The News. "Mr. Roosevelt makes that estimate
He thinks that between now and July l, 1886, a
total of $3,ss2, 900 900 will have been spent By
the national government over and above its III
come At that time the federal depression dehclt
will have passed $16,OOO,000 ,000."
On the basis of official estimates the completed
budget operation for the sixth year Of the depres-
sion will show:
Net deficit, $3,S92, 100000.
New tax, $340, 000
New taxes if voted on the basis of estimates,
would produce revenue to pay: Less than one-haIf
of the annual interest charges on the present led
eral debt; about one-twefth of the cost of the
work-reef program getting under way; less than
half the cost of the CCC camps in 1886; less than
the cost of pensions to war veterans"
To the thinking American this is dishearten-
ing forecast If the country is to enjoy credit at
home and abroad it must pay its debts and assure
business and industry fair return. AS Mr.. Roose-
vet so truly said when he was entering the White
House, government should not spend far in ex-
cess of its collections. As he said, that is an un-
sound policy, sure to bring the country to the brink
of collapse.
Notwithstanding assurances that the budget
would be balanced no practical effort is made to
balance it. The fiction of regular budget and an
emergency budget does not break down the I'M
happy fact of mounting deficit The New Deal is
long on spending but it seems to be short on
matching the outgo with the income. No govern
ment can continue to spend extravagantly without
compelling it's people to pay through the nose
However they twist and turn, politicians cannot
revise the fundamentals of political economy

begged somebody to do something,
He appealed to his friends. He APP
pealcd to everybody. His face was
distorted with anguish. 1t was
screamingly funny.
Some Of the boys agreed to go
out and try to get bail for Henry.
They went around the corner,
Rugged each other and laughed till
they cried. Those who remained
with Henry were having so much
pleasure they were afraid Henry
would get wise. But Henry was
too miserable and frightened to be
suspicious.
Soon the chaps who had gone 20
get bail for Henry returned and
reported failure. Henry would
have to be locked up. At this juno
ture, Henry collapsed and cried
like a baby. Then the jokers felt
thew had had enough for one day.

Henry did not sock several OF
them on the jaw as he should have
done. He was too relieved to think
of anything but his relief.
Some of us have a very subtle
high-grade sense Of humor. We get
it from our remote ancestors who
were inspired to large laughs by
seeing lions eat captivcs and by
watching offenders burn at the
stake.
There is one good lesson Henry
could get out Of that crude JOKE
his so-called friends played on
him. He could come to the deter
mination that henceforth - no
matter how bad things look for
him-he will never allow himself
to become scared. Fright usually
is based on nothing more real or
dangerous than that performance
put on to terrify Henry. Had he

Some folks have an odd sense

couple, Henry and Sally, huge
joke was figured out by Molly and
her friends to be played on Henry

At an appointed time, after the
guests had all arrived and the

ONE PLANK OFFERED FOR CON-
STRUCTIVE PROGRAM

The New Dealers frequently call upon
citizens who oppose their schemes to offer
a constructive program for rehabilitation
of the country. This humble North Caro-
lima country newspaper is so bold as to
offer this: ... 70
AS the first step for the restoration OF
normal business and prosperity, let the
federal government get out of business; let
it quit competing in business with citizens.
No less authority than General Hugh S,
Johnson said in the public press few
days ago that all efforts to revive pros
perity, control unemployment and restore
normal conditions through public spending
had failed; and he flatly predicted that
the present effort to accomplish this pur-
pose with five billion dollars which is now
being scattered through the country will
likewise fail The only possible way to
achieve the desired end is to restore nor
nal conditions in private business, General
Johnson said; and his prediction is that
after the five billion dollars has been dis
sipated, the country will find itself just
where it was when this extrayagant spend
ing spree started.
General Johnson is warm friend OF the
Roosevelt regime, a prominent official OF
the spending organization in New York,
and cannot in any way be termed an UNI
friendly critic of the New Deal. His frank
estimate of this matter is one of the most
interesting and informative statements that
has been made by any public man.
The most constructive thing the admin
istration could do to promote so-called
recovery would be to definitely abandon
all schemes for government competition
with private business. There is not an in
telligent citizen of any class in the country
who is not aware that Gen. Johnson spoke
the literal truth when he said that public
spending will never restore normal condi-
tions. Roosevelt knows this and his under
lingS and bureaucrats know it., Everybody
knows the job must be done by private
business, and everybody knows the only
thing now standing in the way of private
business taking hold and making success
of the job, is government competition, con-
troll and political tyranny exercised over
business. Business cannot take this job and
make a success in handling it so long as it
lahors under the mountainous handicap Of
Socialstic manipulation and competition
by the Washington political oligarchy.
The country has been calling,on business
for more than two years to save the day,
and every day the federal government has
been obstructing the movements of bust
ness and making it impossible for business
to respond successfully to the call. =.
Of course, nobody expects the New Deal
ers to accept the foregoing or any other
constructive and conservative suggestion,
They are bell-bent on converting the Unit
ed States into Socialistic State and are
driving in that direction as relentlessly as
radical leaders can prod a servile Congress
into action.
