Approximately 10 per cent Of all
public school revenue is derived
from local school district sources,
the United States office of Educa-
ton announced yesterday.
Excepting a relatively small
amount from minor sources, this
revenue, representing over two
thirds of the burden of school
costs, is derived from a general
property tax, the office said.
For the country as a whole,
States carried constantly de-
creasing share Of the school cost
from 1900 to 1890" Since then

CRIME DECREASING

]. Edgar Hoover, head of the federal bureau of
investigation, announces that crime in the United
States is decreasing. He cites statistics collected
from police reports of more than thousand cities
with combined population of more than 43,OOO,-
600 to support his conclusions.
That is gratifying news. The rapid increase of
crime in recent years was appalling and especially
the crimes of kidnapping, bank robbery, automobile
stealing, murder aggravated assault and certain
forms of racketeering. Mr.. Hoover estimates that
ted in the United States. The combined losses
caused by these criminal breaches of law have been
estimated in billions.
When the bureau of investigation was formed
and began its successful campaign against viola
tions of federal statutes and especially against the
kidnapers and racketeers, it served notice upon
big criminals that their was no longer paying
business. Wiping out of kidnapping gangs, punish
ment of bandits, running down of bank robbers had
wholesome effect upon the smaller gentry in the
criminal world
America has just begun the fight on crime but
it must be continued. There are obstacles in the
way of its complete success and one of them is the
lack of cooperation of the states which enables
criminals to state borders as a means of avoid
ing arrest and punishment There should be no
safe Earbor for the criminal, and no obstacles in
the way of police seeking to arrest him.-Spartan-
burg Herald.

FROM BOTTOM TO TOP

Clinton White Toms, president of the Liggett &
Myers Tobacco company until his death in New
York City Saturday, was, as his brief biographer
says of him, North Carolina school teacher who
went from the small city SUPPLEMENTARY to the
top in one of the nations greatest industries and
biggest companies.
One of the traditions about Mr.. Toms was that
in an early crusade of a Durham which just
an ugly little municipality, the teacher mounted a
street platform and proclaimed that there was not
room enough in Durham for him and cigarettes.
Many teachers have tackled life in just such spirit
of the absolute. He probably never said it; it is
more than likely that he never thought it. But the
Dukes were quick to see the power of this slender
Cassan looking teacher, who seen worth to
them ten and then 40 times what the city of Dur
ham paid him to run its biggest business.
Soon he was followed by w. w. Flowers and
only few years later by William D. Carmichael,
the three showing as superintendent of schools the
business character and genius which carried them
both to fame and fortune, but to more riches than
notoriety The company which took these three
North Carolinians to New York. making one of
them president and the other two vice presidents,
employs and pays men, not to strut their stuff, but
to do their big jobs. School teaching lost immense
ly when they left it, but the disproportion of their
old and their new rewards helped nightly in rails
ing the hopes of the men and women who still toll
with the young.
Mr.. Toms never entirely recovered from his
North Carolina. He kept his big house in Durham
and would have finished his days there had he ever
reached vacation mood. Kipling's hero who could
walk among kings and keep the common touch had
nothing on this man who, living among the sky
scrapers, never lost sight of his coastal plain.
There must be pride in Hartford county that hav-
ing been born in the lowlands he went to the sum-
NIT on his modest merit-Greensboro News.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
RURAL ELECTRIFlcATIoN

The Record views with considerable interest the
movement in Caldwell and surrounding counties,
as well as in certain communities of our own Ca
tawba, towards rural electrifeation.
However, as we have attempted to point out
previously, there is little being offered under the
federal plan which was not already available
throughout this area. The Duke Power company is
entitled to credit for having pioneered in this field
bylco-operating with farmers around Hickory and
elsewbere IN the Piedmont, whenever an organized
effbrt was made to construct rural lines. ~s-
Thus, several years ago. it will be recalled, farm
ers of the Blackburn community near here secured

which served them as satisfactorily as the service

the customers ON such lines have been buying their

which the REA Customers are supplied.

with our own rates in Hickory and vicinity. We

IN WAR OR TRAFFIC, INNoCENTS
STILL DIE
CBy BRUCE CATTON)

Americans read with horror the lurld
stories from Spain of conflict taking an
average of perhaps 1000 lives day. AT
least 10000 are dead in Spain in the death
struggle that is now more than a month
old.
Horrible! Yet in the last seven months
1850 Americans have also been killed.
violently, their blood crimsoning the pave
ments, their mutilation and agonieS no less
sickening and sharp.
They are just as dead as their Spanish
brothers, without even such satisfaction as
there may be in dying for a cause.
They are the traffic victims. If their toll
increases during the latter part of the year,
as it usually does, then the casualty list will
be higher this year than ever before. Last
year 81 900 died, probably greater cost
in life than the Spanish revolt told to date.
This in spite of widespread safety drives
and mass of publicity for highway safety
that has not been equalled in many years.
Get what solace you can from the
thought that this increased toll probably is
due primarily to more cars on the roads.
Gasoline consumption was up 10 per cent
in May as compared to a year ago, and
traffic is probably up in proportion. Your
own observation of tourists and traffic in
town will verify this.
Statistical sharks figure that the deaths
per 100000 gallons of gasoline used
have actually lessened somewhat, which is
hopeful. But the fact that certain states
have made marked reductions in their traf-
fc toll augurs badly for the others.
New Hampshire, for instance, reports a
81 per cent reduction. That means that
somebody else is falling down on the job.
Tentative figures do tend to show that
states which have rigid drivers license
laws have been leaders in reducing their
auto toll, since those laws make it easier
to get obviously dangerous drivers off the
streets.
But, in the long run, the law won't settle
the problem. 1t can't. Nobody can make a
genuine dent in the slaughter of the inno-
cents except you, and you, and you. The
man behind the wheel is the one who holds
in his hands life and death, not only for
himself, but for others.

REPUBLICANS were steamed
IL up over both the Chautauqua
speech on education and the Buff

best public address the governor
had made in the campaign and
thought the Buffalo speech was
perhaps even more effective tenn

sisted they could shoot most of

They will tell the world that the
corporate surplus tax has resulted
in a billion dollars of increased
income for investors through div

ceiving dividends forced out by

HEALTH UNITS.
FOR VINO. Are.
REYNOLDS aim.
State Health Officer Would
Increase Sanitation
in This Area

RALEIGH, Sept, 8. (UP)-Es-
tablishment of health units in
Western North Carolina is nee
essary health procedure to perfect
the Great Smoky Mountains Ma
tional park and the Tennessee
Valley Authority projects. DR..
Carl V. Reynolds, state health Of
ficer, believes.
DR.. Reynolds said he believed
it would be a wise step if the gov
eminent would establish health
units at strategic points in West
ern North Carolina counties as an
educational feature to the inhabi-
tants and as an example to those
who visit them.
"The units could be maintained
by the government" the health
officer said, 'until such a time
as local conditions would justify
their continuance by the local
people"
DR.. Reynolds said project of
sanitating Is counties in Western
North Carolina which serve as a
watershed for the Tennessee Val
ley could be done, through the
iva. An appropriation of $75,-
900 a year would establish and
maintain the units, he said.
"The Tennessee Valley Author
ity in its development" the health
official pointed out, twill main
tain a watershed in the west COW
ering the streams and tributaries
of Clay, Cherokee, Macon, Ora
ham, Swain, Jackson, Transylva-
MIA, Henderson, Buncombe, Hay
wood, Madison, Yancey, Mitchell,
Avery and Watauga counties. =
"This project is, of course,
strictly commercial. The western
territory should by all means be
sanitated, to protect any commun-
ity making use of the flow made
available in consequence of har-
Messing these streams"
DR.. Reynolds said the area is
sparcely settled, made up of small
towns and country homes that
have never had the vast benefits
derived through the measures to
prevent disease, and preserve
health.
"Those people live under the
heritage of what was good enough
for grandfather is good enough
for me, 'he lived to the ripe old
age of co." Reynolds said.
The health officer believes
while the government is spending
money to develop power and make
land where men can play the
year round, that it should protect
these people who will come into
the park area.
SO far, he pointed out, health
units have been established in all
counties west of Buncombe by the
State Board of Health.
Counties which are not cooper
ating in the health units are Tran
sylvania, Mitchell, Henderson and
Madison.
These county health units will
greatly aid the work that is being
carried on by the government,
but under government supervision
more elaborate units could be
maintained, Dr.. Reynolds said.
"People of the United States
are fast learning to appreciate
counties which have organized
health departments" DR.. Rey-
nolds said. 81 believe tourist trade
will be determined to large eX-
tent by the health setups in the
future"
