UNTOUCHED RESERVOIRS OF TAXES

Gordon Gray of Winston-Salem has come to the
defense of his dead father, the late Bowman Gray
whose tax status got itself early mentioned in the
present goyernorship campaign
PERHAPS, it was not so much intended to serve
as a rebuke to the Winston-Salem millionaire as a
reproach to the State of North Carolina In allow
ing necessary and just taxes to slip out OF Its
fingers that this incident so early in the campaign
became pubhcized.
At any rate, instead of the deceased millionaire
paving no taxes, as it was charged, the son brings
forth the official facts showing that between 1880
and 1885 Mr. Gray paid more than $2,5OO,oou III
taxes, this representing 81 per cent of his income
during that period and, in addition there must be
paid of his estate / 5 cents out of every remaining
dollar of this income in inheritance taxes leaving
only % cents out of every dollar of his income and
earnings for that period to go to his family.
The matter is of general interest not only be-
cause the people of North Carolina are fair-mlnded
and would insist that justice be done both the dead
and the living but it is also of value as indicating
that talk about great reservoirs of untouched
wealth in North Carolina being now available for
the taxing power of the, state does not anayze to
be the truth-Charlotte Observer. D..

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
NOW THEY ARE GOING OVER TO
FEDERALISM

Rut what do we find the sons of the old South
doing today in the House of Representatives and
in the United States Senate? Are they the defend
ers of Democratic tradition? Are they supporting
that long series of panks in Democratic platforms
for fifty years or more. .condenning Capitalization
of mower and usurpation of the rights of states? -
No. the representatives from the southland are
no longer fighting for Democratic principles though
holding office and seeking reelection under the
Democratic party.
But perhaps the South is abandoning its deyo-
ton to party and is ready to accept federalism
under any label.
The old question of negro suffrage, FOR instance,
seems to be less pertinent nowadays and it would
not he surprising to see the southern members OF
congress weakening in their opposition to an anti
lynching bill or accepting quietly the strategy OF
the New Deal which has been to cultivate the sup
MORT of negro votes in % states of the North with
the implication there that suffrage in the South
cannot long be restrained. p,
sSurely the recent speech of Representative Ar
thur MITCHELL of Illinois, the first negro congress
man TO sit on the Democratic side of the house OF
was notable sign of some sort OF
fundamental change. For when he finished extoll-

PROMISE OF JOBS SEEN COMING
FROM SCIENCE p. &c..
(By BRUCE CATTON)

mighty, though silent, fighter against
unemployment is the laboratory. .,
As people watch and take part IN the
strnqgIe for Jobs, the political efforts, the
economic, the social, are easily seen. But
those alone do not constitute the front line
in the fight. Silently and unremlttlngly'
the laboratory is contributing its share.
A few years ago. DR.. F. R, Weidllen OF
the Mellon Institute points out, only three
laboratories in this country were working
on the problem of finding new uses for old
products, and on that of discovering new
products. r.... .-... g.
Today there are 1900 laboratories TAX
ing part in those vital quests, Almost every
day their discoveries are being translated
into terms of new jobs-not necessarily the
same jobs that men held before the de-
preston. 1t is known now that many OF
these Jobs never will exist again.
The hope lies in the new jobs that arise
from making new things which the iabora-
tories are devising. ..~ ..
Take steel, for instance. Steel .produc-
ton today is only about 9 per cent below
the record set in 1929. 1t is as great as it
was in 1928; that is, about 50,O0O,0OO tons
of ingots year. .-.. s..
This has been accomplished in spite OF
the fact that the construction and railroad
industries are not as yet buying anything
like the quantity of steel they used to buy.
The answer lies in.the demand from the
automobile industry, and in the demand
from industries which were of no impor-
lance before the depression, but which
have become big users of steel. ...
The product itself is no longer standard
lied. Steel isn't just steel any more. 1t is
custom-made today, each lot alleged espe-
cially for particular use. -. .,
Should the normal big users of steel, the
construction and railroad industries, re-
turn to the market, there is no reason why
steel should not employ as many men as it
ever did, despite the labor-saving devices
of the last four years. If it does, the lab
oratory must be given due. credit. ..-
The United States chemical industry is
already the greatest in the world. Yet in.
dustries like artificial silk, rayon, sugar
milk products, textiles, automobiles oil and
petroleum plasties, rubber, and radio are
in mere infancy. aese....,.~s,. $50 -. -5 F.
Discovery of new uses for products
doesn't mean mere displacing of old prod
ducts and workmea For it is estimated
that only about Upper cent of production
is concerned with ABSOLUTE necessities. The
rest is Injuries or convenisnces- Is s,
And while there is a definite limit tf
the amount of beef people can eat (thougt
