OTHERS VIEWS
THE COMING ELECTION.

10 the Editor:
These are days when the people of
our country are thinking of can
didates and parties, etc. I want to
take the liberty to make a few sug-
gestions, through your paper, to the
colored people of Vance county.
In the first place, T want to saw I
feel it is the duty of every American
who is qualified to exercise the right
of franchise, and likewise, I feel it
is also the duty Of every American
citizen to pay his taxes. If one has no
property to be taxed, if he is between
the ages of 81 and so he should pay
poll tax to help support his country
as a loyal citizen. do not see how
expect the protection and develop
ment of his country and not be will
ing to help support it.
think, every one who is qualified
should register and vote The law re-
quireS that voters should be able to
read and write the constitution in
the English language and to satisfy
the registrar. I understand that the
registrar is to be satisfied that the
applicant can so read and write the
constitution and that is all that is
necessary to satisfy the registrar.
The law reads as follows: Every per-
son presenting himself for registra-
ton shall be able to read and write
any section of the Constitution in the
English language, and shall show to
the satisfaction of the registrar his
ability to read and write any such
4
ton, and before he is registered"
There are great many other things
the elector should know, but that is
all that is required My humble ad-
vice is to read good papers and maya
zines and keep up with the move
ments of men and things. Then when
in position to vote intelligently, vote
for men and measures. Do not feel
that any political party has a right
to claim your support If there has
ever been a time, it has long since
passed when any party can claim the
solid Negro vote. am not assuming
to advise anyone to belong to any
political party, but what I am trying
to say is to vote for the person or
persons whom you think will best
serve the interest of the whole peo-
pie, regardless of party or party af-
filiatiOnS.
When you have intelligently and
conscientously made up your mind for
whom to vote, feel the sacredness of
the ballot. It has been claimed that
Negroes can be led or driven to the
polls and voted in mass. Whether this
is true or not I do not know, but I
do know the right to exercise the
franchise is to sacred to be trifled
with. Let me possess my soul and be
for sale to no man.
Under the above condition, no fair
minded American citizen can or
would object to the Negro vote.

nesses. IF operations in this group
of industries expand rapidly, our real
unemployment problem should soon
be solved.
Machine VS.. Human.
Because of the steady technical i'm
prOvement in labOr-saving machinery
during the past ten years, the heavy
industries are more important to the
country's prosperity now than ever
before. Figures show that the output
per worker in factories today is at
least one-third greater than it was a
decade ago. Machine-work is con-
stantly taking the place of hand-wOrk
For instance, in the new continuous
strip steel mills, 1000 tons of steel
will be produced daily with a work
ing force Of about 1875 men. Under the
old method it would have taken $500
men for the same output. Thus, it
will be seen that production can now
be back to normal in the face of an
abnormal unemployment situation.
Readers, however see only part of
the picture when they are disturbed
by some new machine or new pro-
cess taking the place of human work
ers. They must not forget that many
nologically unemployed men eventual
ly find other jobs in the same or 9TH
er industries. The building. for in
stance, of the above new steel mills
is giving employment to thousands of
workers. The research, experimental
ton, and manufacture of new labor
saving machinery is tremendous in
dustry in itself. There is a constant
readjustment going on today. The
change from the old method to the
new often deals a harsh blow at the
individual; but in the long run means
shorter hours and a higher living
standard of living for ALL
Why Figures Are Misleading.
Labor-saving machinery cuts pro-
duction costs. If the savings are pass
ed on to the public in the form of.
lower selling prices, consumption of
these goods increases. The sale of
more goods in turn results in the de-,
mand for additional machinery and
for more raw materials. Eventually
there is bigger total of jobs for all
workers, greater demand for the SER
| vice population, and more goods to
divide among everybody. This process
has been going on for centuries. The
new machines of today, if handled by
intelligent, unselfish men, mean a
higher standard of living tomorrow.
Labor-saving devices are, at most, on
ly minor temporary factor in our
jobless problem.
+, Last May in discussing unemploy-
ment pointed out that estimates on
the subject were greatly exaggerated
This fact is now becoming generally
recognized by business observers. APP
parently the nation has become "un-
employment conscious" Twenty-Five
years ago women in homes and boys
on farms or in schools were not re-
| ported as jobless. Today they are put
| down as "unemployed' and possibly
are ION relief" Eliminating the five
to seven million real jobless in the
capital goods industries, the number
of genuine unemployed is no greater
today than it has been in the past.
While employment is subnOrmal, it is
so only as far as the capital goods
| industries are concerned. Even this
low level is partially offset by the
unusually good situation in most con-
sumner industries.

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

Oct. 8, 1779-One Ned Judd ran in
to a house in Leicester-shire, Eng
land, and smashed two frames used
in stocking manufacture. This set
off bloody demonstrations by organ
lied bands of rioters who swept
through England destroying labor
saving machinery and seeking to pre-
vent manufacturers from introducing
any more. The struggle of the Lud-
dites to stave off the machine age
continued actively for so years.
Oct. 9, 1814-The u. S. sloop-of-war
Wasp, Is guns, which had more dis
tinguished record of victory over Bri-
fish ships than "Old Ironsides," was
logged by a Swedish bark on her
way toward the Spanish Main. That

Wasp. Her end is one of the greatest
mysteries in the annals of the Navy.
She was both launched and started

vor of the consolidation of the finance
and appropriations, committees into
joint committees, are, first, that the
revenue and appropriations bill would
be assured of balancing when they
are completed and introduced by the
committees, and second, that from
four to eight weeks could be cut from
the length of legislative sessions. +"
Ho-ton said. "This consolidation of
these two committees would eliminate
at least half of the committee hear
Hngs now he!G, since one hearing.
could be held before the joint com
mittees, whereas separate hearings
are usually held by the finance and
appropriations committees On the
same subjects. Thus the number of
committee hearings and the time re-
quired for these hearings could easilv
be cut in half.
"But the biggest advantage of this
plan, as see it, is that the members
of both committees would at all time
be informed of both the requests and
the amount of revenue available, with
the result that both the revenue and
appropriations bill could be kept in
constant balance, thus assuring a bal
anced budget. Under the two commit
tee system in use in past legislatures,
the finance committee goes ahead and
makes up a revenue bill without any
definite knowledge Of how much re-
venue is needed, while at the same
time the appropriations committee
goes ahead with the writing of an
appropriations bill without any idea
of how much money will be available
"The result is that one or the other
of these bills is usually introduced
and passed before the other one
comes in, also that there is usually a
difference of several MILLIONS of dol
lars between the two bills. This al
ways necessitates additional hearings
and long delays while the approp-
riations committee either tries to
pare down its bill or tries to force
the finance committee to revise the
revenue bill to yield more money.
IF these two committees met joint
ly, however, and jointly prepared
both bills, all these inequalities could
be ironed out in the committee be-
fore the bills are introduced in the
house, with the result that they would
be in perfect balance. This, in turn,
would greatly reduce the time re-
quired for their consideration on the
floor of the house and senate and
would probably eliminate the prolong-
ed disagreements which have arisen
in the past between the house and
senate over these bills"
Lieut. Governor Horton is very
hopeful that the members of the
house and senate of the 1887 general
assembly will consent to a revision of
the committees in order to consolidate
the finance and appropriations COM
mittees Of each house into joint COM
mittees, in order to facilitate the bal
ancing of the budget and speed up
the session.
