business. He put what was good for
cattle ahead of what was good for
home and family and children. His
daughters married Sodomites and
their children, Moab and Ammon,
were the everlasting disgrace of Lot
and their descendants perpetual
thorn in the side of Israel. 1t never

no matter how we'll watered the sur
rounding may seem TO be.
The Destruction of Sodom
Numerous recent excavations in the
region of Sodom and Gomorrah sub
stantiate the biblical record of the
destruction of these ancient cities of
the plain, in which we read, Jehovah
rained upon SOdom and upon Gomor-
rah birthstone and fire from Jehovah
out of heaven; and he overthrow
those cities and all the plain, and all
the inhabitants of the cities, and that
which grew upon the ground" AS a
result, that which once was "as the
garden Of the Lord" because desolate
and uninhabitable for $500 years.
The Testimony of Archaeology
Prof. Melvin G. Kyle, one of our
most scholarly of recent Psychologists,
contrasting the remains of ancient
civilizations of this with other nearby
regions noted a remarkable stoppage
OF civilization here at period near
the time of Abraham: Here was an
absolute break, something happened,
The incoming Middle Bronze Age does
not come here, nor any other civil
zation instead of it. Everything is at
a standstill on the plain for $500
years; until Byzantine times 600 years
after Christ there is no trace of any
kind of civilization on the plain -.
twenty-five hundred years of climatic
influence was needed to wash away
the evil and restore the captivity of
Sodom.' The ruins of Pompeli left by
the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.
D. 70 afford similar mute but elo-
quent testimony of judgment upon a
civilization unspeakably bestial in it's
degradation. Even the very rocks cry
out that "the wages of sin is DEATH"
The Wine of SodOm
Lots drunkenness and shame are
proof of the truth Moses embodied
in his farewell song, Their vine is
the vine Of Sodom, and of the fields
Of GomOrrah: their grapes are grapes
Of gall, their clusters are bitter: their
vine is the poison of serpents, and the
cruel venom of aSps."

INCOME TAX GRAFT

Dorothy Thompson MRS. Sinclair Lewis)
who cannot be justly accused of favoritsm
for princes of privilege" or Economic
royalists," in discussion of federal taxa
ton says: ~
Actually, the greatest graft in income tax
evasion comes from those who are rich enough
to lend their money at low interest to the gov
eminent and thus evade having to pay any in
come tax at all, and government officials who
are exempt from state or federal taxes, depend
ing on who employs them. Why judge with a
$2O,000-a-year income shouldn't have to pay
what physician with the same income must,
has always been unclear to me.
We believe the foregoing will appeal to
every honest cit.z as a fair and reason
able statement CT the case.
1t is estimated that the outstanding tax
exempt bonds of all kinds in this country
have a par value of FIFTY-FIVE BILLION
DOLLARS.
That is sum equivalent to the average
total annual income of all the citizens of
this country during the past half dozen
years Income has been and is heavily
taxed-in some cases almost to the point
of confscation. Fifty-fve billion dollars
invested in tax-eXempt bonds is free of
taxation.
Another very important matter men,
toned for public consideration by Dorothy
Thompson is that of tax exemption of the
salaries of public officials. We repeat the
question of the writer, Why should pub
lie official drawing a salary of twenty thou
sand dollars year not be taxed on this
income? A private citizen with an income
of twenty thousand will, on the whole, pay
half or more of the amount in various
kinds of taxes.
Of course, we are not suggesting that
only public officials drawing twenty thou
sand dollar salaries, or more, should be
subject to income tax. The tax should be
applied in this case exactly according to
the laws which govern the assessments
against other classes of citizens.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
LEGAL, MAYBE, BUT

LESAL, MA1BE, bOl-
The reasoning by which Judge Glenn arrived at
his decision upholding the right of the federal gov
eminent to provide Greenwood county, South Car
olina with enough money, partly loan and partly
an outright gift, to build power plant does not,
at the moment, concern us. Legality is one thing,
desirability something else again; and are far
from being reconciled to the desirability of this
project.
In the first place, it was made possible by the
expenditure of funds handed over by congress to
PWA to be used for relief purposes. There is not,
in the whole of Greenwood county and the sur
rounding territory, any pressing need for relief to
the extent of these millions of dollars. In the sec
ond place, PWA, without any factual investigation
of Duke Power company rates, has proceeded adj
mittedly on the premise that the company needed
chastisng. Two state regulatory bodies have APP
proved rates now in effect, lowered four times in
as many years, and the factual testimony, OPP
posed to Secretary and PWA Administrator Ickes'
social theories, in that rates reasonable.
Legal or not, the Greenwood county project in
wolves at least two Objectionable features One is
the use of relief money to give form and substance
to Mr.. Iekes dislike of power companies and the
other is the summary overriding of state authority
by an emergency federal authority. 1t is govern
ment by within, not by orderly processes.-Char-

MOUNTAIN REALTY CLIMBS

Realty values in Western North Carolina, which
were at low ebb during the depression and post
depression years, slowly but steadily rising.
For several years there was little market for land
in the mountain area. Summer tourists came and
went, in smaller numbers it is true, but they ex-
pressed no desire to invest their cash. This condi-
ton is rapidly changing. The return of normal
times has brought about increased interest in
realty, with many inquiries being made for sum-
mer homes. ..
Cottages are being erected at many places in
the mountains; the ever-increasing horde of filling
stations and hot dog stands will be even larger
this summer to serve thirsty automobiles and hun
CRY motorists. All in all, the mountains may be
no cooler this summer than in the past-chambers
of commerce and county comrnissiohers$canS not
regulate the weather-but in other respects every
thing will be conducive to the happiness and well
fare of the summer vsitor.--Greenyille Piedmont.

But" one might say, at will

The ambition to make money
for moneys sake is not a worthy
ambition and few persons have it..
Most of the great mOncy-makcrs
do not make money so much for
the money as for the fun of max

money will change; the ambitions

created by the local Alley Dwell
ing Authority. Housing experts
agree it has done fine job in
building cheap dwellings,. But
rents arc about 81 room, or $28
a month and 1888 a year or the
average unit, which means the
project is suitable for f;miliCS
with incomes of about $1,000. The
project is not subsidized.
John Ihldcr, executive officer OF
the authority, says that this rep
resents an economic rent" and
that "if the earned income Of
family is not adequate to pay
an economic rent, that family
should be aided by 4 relief
agency"
The interesting angie TO that is
the fact that the mcdian income
of urban families is Sl272. Which
means, under Ihldcr'S reasoning,
that co per cent of, city families
should be on relief.
