GROUP MORALITY
By JOSEPH FORT NEWTON
tCopyright 1887 by United Feature Syndicate INC

Since 1884 it seems to me, writes oec-
retarv Henry A. Wallace, Il have seen IN
creasino evidences in many quarters OF the
dawning of group morality. The spirit ol
the leaders of economic groups has uhoer-
gone profound change as a result OF recent
years
If his observation is correct, it is one OF
the most hopeful signs of our tangled trot'-
blcd time Today our personal morallly Is
probably about the same as that Oh our
orandfathers. in some ways better, III some
wavs worse; but group morality Jagged.
Bv group morality he means the attitude
taken bv corporations, by labor unions. Dv
political parties, or by the state Itself, to-
ward the problem of the general welfare.
Anv group, large or small, is to be Judged
finally, BY its service to the common good
If group. in trying to further its own
ends. remembers the general welfare, TO
that extent it obcys the principals OF group
morality. If it seeks to increase It's own
power or profit at the expense OF the general
welfare. to that extent it is immoral
The tragedy of the world today is that It's
group morality moves on lower lever 'han
it's best individual moral insight. Men Will
do as groups what no member of the group
would do alone. The responsibility is dis
tributed. and is lighter on each member.
Today is the day of the group, OF mass
action, of mass thinking; and the group
mind rates along with child of II. Hence
we have a child mind trying to solve the
problems of an adult world, and it is not
equal to the problems before it,
1t is amazing to see big nations acting
like pcttcd. spoiled silly children, doing
things which a sense of humor-to speak
of no other kind of scnSc-OuGht to make
impossible. Nations are ruled by dictators
who strut like little boys playing Indian.
Only a higher quality of group mind, and
finer kind of group morality can save us
from utter disaster.

Since 1929 highways of the world have increased

The United States continues to lead with more

never before have been distinguished from urban

According to Mr.. Falls. except
in few rare instance, potato
growers in this county and Sec
ton wound up far over the red
ink side of their ledgers on this
years potato crop.
Given a good yield, most of the
growers might have broke even or
made a few dollars on the crop,
but the average yield was only
about II to l, if not lower. And
you can't make any money with a
II to l yield and an average
price Of $1.40 per barrel or less.
From Elizabeth City along L.
O93 carloads of potatoes have roll
ed to market this season, where
as the total shipments for last
year amounted to only 862 cars.
This is an increase of approx
mately 80 per cent. North Caro-
lima as a whole has shipped 1892
cars of spuds this year against
1888 cars last year.
IF we had some spstem of con-
troll, there never would have been
any such increased planting with
the resulting starvation prices,
said Mr. Falls.
Last years average price here
was better than $500 per barrel,
while this years was $1.40 or less.
This years 1908 cars brought on
ly around 100000, while last
years 862 cars brought over

Operators of American race
tracks, don't say you weren't
warned!
It's going to happen here any
day now. Nothing is being 20
overdone in this country today as
the photo finish" and everywhere
you hear racing fans asking what
the judges did through the hun
dred years before they had
cameras.
An afternoon at any race track
now combines all the elements OF
an outing of camera demonstra-
tors and a romp through the In
teresting Prints department of any
snapshot club.
The tremendous thrill of wait
ing for the horses to cross the
finish line is gone. All you wait
for is the development of a film.
You actually think of horse races
today in terms of the Photographic
laboratory. Only yesterday we
heard a judge declaring that a
certain race was the best he had
ever seen run through a pan of
developing fluid.
1t is nothing uncommon to have
five camera finishes on a program
of six races. If by chance the
winner is too fast for the photo
graphers, they take a picture for
second and third money. It's a
photo orgy.
What the. country needs is a
back-to-work movement among
race track judges.
The fans didn't always agree
with their decisions, but there was,
and always will be, more fun
booing a judge than a camera.

DON'T PASS
THIS UP

tank County this week voted approval OF
proposed district health department on con-
dilion that the city of Elizabeth City come
i'm and pay half of the expense.
The city. which approved the previous
proposals, only to see them rejected by the
county, has not yet acted on the matter and
it is said to be opposed to it,
1.-The county wants Elizabeth City tan
PAYERS to pay the city's share, which is half
of the total expense, plus twO-thlrds OF the
countv's share" said one member of the city
administration. About twO-thirdS OF the
county population lives within the city linn
its. and these people have to pay both city
and county taxes, so this would place an
unfair burden upon them"
There is some logic to his argument, but
if failure of the city to bear half OF this
counlv's share of the expense of the district
health department will kill the proposal,
and if the city's share is only $l,74O, then
this newspaper says it would be be crying
shame for the city to reject the proposal.
After all. it stands to reason that the city
will obtain more benefit from the sanitary
inspections, nursing service, mmunizatlOn
service and other services afforded by the
proposed district health department than
will the remainder of the county.
