NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

| Elsewhere in this issue are two eXcellenty writ
ten articles dealing with the constitutional amend
ments on which the voters will be asked to vote
next Tuesday. If you haven't already done so, we
suggest that you read them.
Our policy has been to try and give both sides
an opportunity to present their views on every
controversial topic of statewide interest. 1t is a
policy which we intend TO pursue as long as we
are in the publishing business.
This particular page, however, we reserve for
ourselves. and on it we endeavor to express our
own opinions.
There are five proposed amendments The first
is readily understandable: it provides for an IN
crease of members on the Supreme Court bench
from five to seven. 1t is a good amendment and
we believe it merits your approval.
The other four are dangerous: they are loaded
with dynamite, and our advice is that you vote
against them.
The proposed amendment to place in effect
81 900 property exemption would result IN abSo-
lutte financial chaos so far number of counties
in the state are concerned. II would wreck the
financial structure in those counties which are COM
posed largely of small property holders. Not only
that but it would mean an increase IN rentals Tor
every man who is unable to own his own home
The proposed amendment to increase the income
tax is unfair to those who have made the industrial
and AGRICULTURAL North Carolina possible and 1t
would act as a deterrent in connection with the
future growth and progress of the state and the
fptnre establishment of new industries within our
boundaries.
The proposed amendment to recasSify property
for TAXATION would give the Observation-Disclosures
tbcv might be-Such power that no one can guess
where they might stop. 1t veritably would be open
INC another Pandora'S box, and there is no telling
what might come forth. No one can say what the
ultimate effects of this amendment would be 1t Is
Of an extremely vague nature, and we 10 rs III
North Carolina have learned long ago that 1t doesn't
nav to be vague when it to questions of taX-
alton.
The debt limitation amendment is unnecessary
Each county has its own problems and each county
ought TO be able to handle those problems An
amendment of this kind might be good thing for
half a dozen counties and it might work an actual
hardship in half dozen others.
That. in brief, is our opinion concerning the hVe
amendments on which you will be asked to vote
next Tuesday We suggest that you inform your
self about each of them in detail, and we oelieVe
that when you do so, your opinion will coincide
with that of ourS.-State Magazine.

THIS MUCH FOR JIM

Governor Landon said in his Pittsburgh speech
last night that in this administration, in spite of
high-sounding promises made by Candidate Roose-
Welt and repeated by President Roosevelt
90. both the letter and the spirit of
the merit system have been cynically dis
regarded"
Il is true and there is no denying it. President
Roosevelt has been guilty of a duplicity in his
words and actions with respect to governmental
integrity and the spoils system that does him no
credit at all. The least creditable phase of it is
that Jim Farley, Postmaster General and Demo-
cratic committee chairman, has had to take all the
blame when he is only an agent of the Big Boss.
Jm's no paragon, but at least he doesn't pretend
to higher ethical standards than he observes--The

PRICE OF PROSPERITY

The past weekend in Anderson was the widest,
sphtingest and generally the most disorderly that
has been recorded in many months, probably years,
and perhaps for all local peace-timc periods 1t was
spectacle that both induced shame and stirred
fear that it might spread to include future inno-
cent victims.
Coming as it did at time when farm products
are being marketed, mills booming and business
conditions in general are reaching high state OF
prosperity, it appears that more money in cireula-
ton means more work for the men who do the
arresting and those who turn the locks in Jail doors
If more prosperity means more crime it may be
that we have overlooked many of the blessings of
poverty-Anderson Is. c. Mail

SCHOOLMA'AM OF OLD WORTH
TRIBUTE, TOO
(Bv BRUCE CATTON)

An inQuiring reporter who reStleSSly
prOwls the streets in quest of news checks
in with the pleasing report that the school
ma am of today is great deal prettier and
snapper than she was in the days when
dad went to school.
What set the reporter off on this obser-
walton was the fact that he had just re-
turned from state teachers convention.
There he had mingled with crowd of
stylish and attractive young women who
looked more like moving picture extras
than schoolma ans, and the fact went at
once to his head.
The contrast is probably unfair. IeSter-
DAYS Schoolma am lives on in the memory
of the restless lads who sat at her feet a
generation ago. and it was always an arti-
Gle of faith with them that the school
ma'am could not be anything but a battle
ak.
They conceived of an eternal antagoniSm
between teacher and pupil, and to have adj
mitted that teacher was a charming young
woman would have been to lose half the
battle right at the start.
So the memory of today's grown men
probably does yesterdays Schoolma am
less than justice. But whatever they think
of her appearance, most men in looking
back will undoubtedly admit that the lady
had pretty tough and thanklesS job and
handled it remarkably we'll, all things con-
Sidered.
Any schoolma'am stars her job with two
strikes on her. She has a roomful of rest
less youngsters who would rather be any
where on earth than in a Schoolroom.
She has to keep their attention, arouse
their interest, make them behave, quell
that red Indian spirit that periodically
takes possession of healthy youth - and,
those things done, give them an education,
prepare them for citizenship and isntruct
them in manners and hygiene.
It's a Job big enough to make strong
man quail. But the slip of girl who hires
out as Schooma'am tackles it without turn
ing a hair - at disgracefully low wages,
often enough-and gets away with it.
Looking back, who can't remember a
host of things ne owes to the overworked
misses of his grammar school and high
school days?
This one, by some chance phrase or
other, snapped him out of tendency to-
ward self-pity.
That one took a few extra pains and
showed him that the mysteries of mathe-
MATES were not necessarily insoluble, aft
err all.
Another revealed to him the beauties OF
English poetry.
A fourth somehow showed him that
there can be deep satisfaction in taking
on a difficult job and doing it well.
And for reward what do we give
them? We picture them to ourselves as
frumps and old maids. We look at today'S
crop of schoolma ans and wonder why oul
own weren't as good-looking and stylish.
We may actually have the crust to fee
a little bit sorry for ourselves for having
grown up in the era of unattractive school
ma ams.
And today's youngsters will probably
feel exactly the same, 80 years from now

WASHINGTON. One of the
" most interesting latc-campaign
rumorS said that on the eve o.
election Republicans would pub
liSh a list of about $500 employees
of the New Deal administration.
with the allegation that they were
Communists.
But by all odds the most cffCC-
tive strategy OF the Republicans
which had a real chance to get in
to operation before election has
been an appeal 10 the workers
pocketbook nerve. This has been
made through pay envelope mes
sageS from employers which de-
scribe employee contributions to
the federal old-age benefits phase
of the social security program as
"taX on wages"
5
DESPITE millions Of words
II written about the social secur-
ity act. it becomes obvious that
the bulk of citizens don't know
what it's all about. Many Of the
pay envelope notices distributed
by the Republican National COM
mittee and other groups tend to
make it appear that the New Deal
has slyly imposed a tax on all
wages in order TO pay for federal
extravaganza, effective Jan. |.
What happens is that, be-
ginning in 1887, the govern
ment will collect from en-
ployers Il 2 per cent payroll
tax. half to be taken from
employees wages and half
from employer funds.
This tax will increase a
total of ! per cent each three
years until in l949 employer
and employe will each be
paying 8 per cent on every
thing up to $4,000 of each en-
alaYe'S wages.
