EvADED HIS RESPONSIBILITIES

Says the Concord Daily Tribune in recent edi-
torial:
Candidate Mcdonald has had much to say about
wealth escaping taxation in North Carolina, but he
has had nothing to say, insofar can learn,
about his own failure to make tax returns.
at has been revealed by search of the records
in the Forsyth county courthouse, that Dr. Nc
Donald made voluntary returns of his personal
taxes only three times during his residence in
North Carolina. For four years when he did not
list the tax department arbitrarily assessed him.
This is more or less of personal matter but
was brought to the publics attention by the candi-
date himself. When he started tossing his rocks
he forgot that he was living in glass house him.
self
North Carolina does not need at the helm of
her government any man who is SO careless SO
ignorant or evasive as to fail to make proper
tax returns. ...
Perhaps Candidate Mcdonald thought he saw
mote in his brothers eye because of the beam in
his own"
The question is man who evaded his tax bur-
den, however light it might have been, a fit and
suitable man to entrust with the heavy RESPONSE

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
A yEsTAL VIRGIN IN POLITICS

| The remarkable political shrewdness OF Mr.. Har-
~ HOPKINS is not to be questioned. Three years
AGO he was an obscure person, without reputation
except as a salaried do-gooder, that cohned to
single state, and was not even the possessor Of a
"war record" Now he is the most powerful figure
in the national government except his master, the
| president.
Director Hopkins is generally conceded preemi-
nent in the tribe of the pure in heart As the as-
trbutor of billions he is unsupported of desire to
advance political interests. Senator'S representa-
tives governors mayors, state directors Of relief
eat out of his hand. In this case "eat out OF his
hand" is distantly figure of speech.
Director Hopkins proclaims that IN VIVA IS no
notifies. Everyone believes that he believes it.
Everyone not party to relief or paid in its ad-
,;r;otration knows that it reeks with politics.
EVERYONE knows that in South Carolina Repuo-
Ican or an outspoken opponent of the Roosevelt
administration is ineligible to appointment under
Mr. Hopkins
Everyone knows that in Pennsylvania the adj
ministration of WPA and the Guffey-Earle-Jones
machine are Neutrality-suspicious. except Mr. Hop
kins His disinterestedness save for the unemploy-
cd the poor, the unfortunate, is unanimously ad-
mitted
The News and Courier is inclined to the opinion
that Director Hopkins is as pure in heart as a
Vestal virgin 1t attributes to him the rare power
of maintaining impenetrable ignorance of anything
that might inconvenience the administration. Say
inc that he occupies the supreme place IN the
Roosevelt administration second only to the presi-
dent that he distributes billions without intention
to help congressman or Democratic politicians that
nevertheless unconsciously he helps them and the
party, the Democratic party, to the complete eX-
cusion of all other parties, we are aware that we
approach perilously close to describing him as
fool in order to pronounce him saint. We don't
