NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
TAKING THE CUE FROM THE INFORMED

If the people of North Carolina want to dispose
of the proposed amendments to the Constitution
merely by following the advice of the leaders in
tho poltcal life of the State they will favor the
measures.
II may be, of course, that they prefer not to
accent the word of these men and in the absence
or personal analysis take the course of least re-
sistance and vote against them.
One of the best informed of these leaders, in
our Judgment, is Lieut. Governor Graham who has
bcen so intimately connected with the government
life of the State for several years that his opinion
has peculiar emphasis.
Mr. Graham contends that there is no valid OPP
position to be offered to the proposed amendment
relating to an increase in the maximum income tax
without arguing the matter.
As to the proposal to limit the debt-making and
bond-issung powers of the State and its political
subdivisions Mr.. Graham rightly concludes that
the number of municipalities and counties in North
Carolina which have defaulted largely for the rea-
SON that there has been no check on these tenden-
cics is evidence enough that this amendment ought
- 90 over With that surely, there will be general
agreement.
Concerning the amendment relating to classified
ton of property, Mr.. Graham submits that this IS
step in the right direction 1t will enable the tax
;ro authorities to inaugurate a higher degree of
fairness in levying taxes different kinds of prop
erty We all know that property consists of various
classes and that some classes Justly pay high
or rate of taxation than other classes. / am also
aware of the fact that the experience of other
states has shown that classification of property
does more than any other method yet devised to
sccurc fair tax return from intangible property.
4 class in North Carolina is now escaping its falr
burden of taxation yet when we consider our pres
ent structure. we can easily realize why so much
property is escaping
As to the amendment permitting tax exemption
on homesteads, Mr. Graham contends that this Is a
policy that will do much to encourage our people
to own their own homes, certainly the class who
earn small salaries and incomes Of course, there
is some objection to this proposed amendment, yet
am satisfied that our legislatures can be trusted
10 gradually naugurate the changes permitted here
under in such manner not to disrupt the pres
ent municipal and county tax system and to also
safeguard same against abuses which have been
imagined and pictured by the opponents of this
change
His own observation leads him, finally, to favor
the proposed increase in the number of Supreme
Court justices.
We have presented the points made by the lieu
tenant-governor because they strike us as being
particularly pertinent and to the point and worthy
of serious consideration by the peope.-Charlotte
Observer.

INGENIOUS FARMER
FINDS METHOD FOR
COMPRISING HAY

STRATFORD. Ont, Oct. 2S.---
William Taylor had Il bright idea
for getting the hay in his havStack
compressed sufficiently to assure
it would not be blown away.
He saddled one of his horses
and. with the help of several
workers, hOisted it on top of the
stack. Then he mounted and rode
the horse around the stack until
the. hay was firmly compressed.
When it came time to get the
horse down again he had diff

which was rcinformed with boards.
and the wagon then was driven in

OUR WORKS MAY VANISH, BUT OUR
SPIRIT LIVES ON
(By BRUCE CATTON)

By BROCE OAll lON)
YOU can feel the cold winds out Of emp
tv space blow down the back of your neck
if YOU care for such an eXperience-oy
taking look at an article written for the
current Scientific American by DR.. Thorn
we'll Jacobs, president of Oglethorpe Uni
verSity.
DIR. Jacobs suggests that we ought 10
build a crypt of stainless steel and NIL 1t
with, records, working models, pictures,
an descriptions of modern American civ
ilization. Then. he says, we should seal 1t
and leave it to be opened in the year S113
A. D.. so that remote posterity can have
an idea of what sort of people its ances-
tors were and how they lived.
There is nothing especially creepy about
that, of course. But DR.. Jacobs goes on to
add that by S113 it is more than probable
that every other record of the civilization
of 1886 will have vanished from the earth.
Our great steel and stone buildings, our
vast engineering works, our libraries, and
our archives-all will have disappeared.
If people remember that North America
waslpopulated in 1886 they will remember
it hazily, as we remember that someone
was.living where Persia now is 5000 years
ago!
1t takes a scientist to put things like that.
The rest of us go about our day-to-day
business without thinking of the distant
future at all; or, if we do think of it, we
assume that what we are doing today is
being done for all time-that there is a
permanence to the society we live in which
willl outlast change.
We may be right, but the odds are
against it. When the scientist steps out Of
the procession and takes a long view, he
can,see that change is the one unfailing
law.
The best things and the worst things we
do today will inevitably be forgotten. The
same abScurity will cover our triumphs
andi defeats. Our follies and our virtues
will, finally drop out of sight.
From the distance of 5000 years Wood
row Wilson and Bruno Hauptmann will be
eXdeCly alike Ill lldI DOlH VIII uS SohpiS'S
ly Invisible.
Does all this, then, mean that 1T doesn I
make much difference what we do with
ourselves and with our civilization, since
oblivion is awaiting all our achievements?
Not at all. Those hazy, far-of people OF
BIB A. ID. may not know one thing about
us, but what they are and how they live
will be shaped and nodded by what we
think and do.
For although what people make and &c
mat dissolve in the acid of time, the spiri
and the intelligence with which they make
and do things become part of the undynt
heritage of the race.
The man who goes to the scaffoid To-
iustice and freedom may be forgotten; th'
scale of values which led him to the seal
fold becomes absorbed and transmitted U
the farthest generations. Nothing worti
saving is lost. -.
A bit ponderous, all this? No DOUBT bu
worth thinking about, even so. 1t is by un
derstanding that the spirit lives on whei
the deed and it's consequences die that W.
can fit ourselves to make the world pet
ter nlace for those who come after us.

ZOE GARDNER, Georgetown
Prep's scrappy little mentor
who is distinctly ION the spot
~ this year, with athletic ma
terial far below the quality of usual
Garrett Park teams, has been begging
rivals for more trouble, but has been
denied, although not because other
coaches particularly wish to look after
bis welfare.
It is Joe's noble, though not new,
idea that the time is ripe for an all
inclusive District prep school basket
ball league, embracing the six schools
now sponsoring floor teams. At pres
ent Gonzaga, st. Johns and George
town Prep form the only official al
lance.
Gardner sees the fulhllment of such
q vision with the addition Of merely
7 games to the 90-odd now scheduled
for the next two months For, with
each of the six schools already slated
to play the majority of their inter-
city prep rivals, Gardner sees no rea-
son why they shouldn't 60 the whole
way and make league reality.
Games needed to complete the
schedule, which would have each team
playing all others. are: st. Adams
Gonzaga, st. Albans-St. Johns, st.
John's-Landon, st. John's-Friends.
Gonzaga Landon, Gonzaga Friends
and Friends-Landon.
Joe has done his part by scheduling
games for his team with every prep
five in the city, although he realizes
that his chances are better for losing
than winning the majority of them.
In a league, moreover, Georgetown
Prep probably would finish on the
bottom, asserts Gardner, but the at

"Sure, we'd prove set-ups," speaks
Gardner undauntedly. But what of

That's why Georgetown Prep's pro-
posing the league. Just to show these

Strangely enough, the two schools
