crowded cities.
Good. bright. yellow sunlight Is
rich In ultraviolet rays, and here
we step into up-to-date stuff. The I'LL
tra-violet ray is the agent that con-
verts the mero lime salts of our
foods into suitable form for approp-
ration by muscle and nerves. 1t is
invaluable for the breathing appar-
atus. and is supreme in maintaining
the alkaline balance in the body. 1t
prevents. acid destruction of vital or
gans. such as the kidneys.
Sunlight is the principal factor In
bringing about the marvellous chan
ges sc necessary to bodily vigor; it
doesn't cost anything if you live in
its vicinity, and are free to get
about in it.
In the mountain regions the near
er approach to the sun gives a much
greater volume of %violet-ray. In low
er levels, the air Is more polluted
with dust, smoke and other outside
matters, which diminish the actinic
effect of the rays.
Artificial instruments have been
invented, whereby the doctor may
administer sun-rays to patients in
winter and cloudy times. when out
door absorption is impossible.

QUANTITY MEANS
LOWER PRICES

A scientist who presides over a
laboratory of a big chemical COM
pany was telling me the story of ar
tificial rubber. Many minds contrib
uted TO the discovery and perfection
of this product. II is used now in
certain specialized fields where extra
endurance and resistance to acids
are necessary but its present cost is
many times that of natural rubber.
Said the scientist casually: "Of
course. it will be cheaper"
1t did not occur to him that he
was saying anything especially i'm
portant but. as a matter of fact, he
was expressing unconsciously the
whole philosophy and justification of
big business. Businesses get big and
stay big in these modern days be-
cause of research they find Ways to
make things in greater quantity and
so to make them cheaper.
Look around you, and you see
everywhere the results of Big Bust
ness research and production. The
electric light bulb was invented by
Edison. but if there had been no i'm
proyements in it since Edison's day
your electric light bill would be
about a hundred times what 1t Is
now-for the same amoun of light.
The automobile. which costs you
less than a thousand dollars, is so
much better than the best car a mil
lionaire could buy twenty years ago
that there is no comparison. 1t has
been steadily improved and made
cheaper by being manufactured in
Big quantities.
The one thing that goes down all
the time is the price of the goods of
Big Business.

Good Intentions

The world is full of people whose intentions are
good but whose acts do not have the benevolent re-
suits which those who perform them intend. Indeed,
it is probable that more harm is done by well-intend-
ing people who think they are doing the right thing,
than is ever done by others with deliberate intent to
do harm. 1t is no excuse that a persons intentions
were good when the consequences Of his actions are
evil.
AS DR.. Samuel Johnson said, $50 years ago,
Hell is paved with good Intentions He was para
phrasing the words of George Herbert, the great Eng
lish preacher and poet of the 18th Century. Thought
full men of all time have recognized the danger of
giving men whose major equipment is good intent,
power over the affairs and lives of others.
That is particularly true in government. Elk
ample of the effects of good intentions are to be
found in the troubles which beset the whole world to-
day. In the effort to restore order and to improve the
conditions of their people, well-intentioned men have
taken control of the affairs of nations, with the re-
suit that instead of making things better they have
become worse. So much worse. indeed, that the whole
world seems to be on the verge of another frightful
war.
Mussolini, Hitler and Stain beyond doubt were
ful OF good intentions when they set up their re-
spectiye experiments in government. The result has
been to deprive their people of their Unborn human
rights and liberties and reduce them to complete
servility.
Wise men in all ages have learned to be wary of
the man who prates too much about his good inten-
tions. He is always a good man to keep a watchful
eye on.

100 Years Ago

What a lot of important things were happening
lOO years ago! 1t was a time of big beginnings. Near
ly every week this year is a centenary of something.
1t was just 100 years ago this spring that John
Deere invented the steel pillow. There had been plows
before that. The history of the pillow reaches away
back to the dawn of history. But John Deere, an H.
hhois blacksmith, started something new in plows
and In Farming. The local blacksmith in the old days
was IN close touch with agriculture. His smithy was
a sort OF farmers clubs on rainy days when horses
were brought in to be shod.
AND Deere knew the troubles farmers were hay-
Ing IN wet esasons trying to plow the heavy, gummy,
prairie soil. The iron plows wouldn't 'scour." That
is, the sticky soil clug to the plow moldboard and
wouldn't turn into a furrow.
One day Deere noticed in his blacksmith sbon
scrap heap the broken blade of a steel saw. II was
smooth and bright. Why wouldn't that material make
a good plow? Deere experimental with it and found
that 1t worked.
He founded a great industry and made possible
profitable tillage of millions of acres of the most fer
tile land In the country-Montana Record-HeraId.
Why isn't a bachelor a singular fellow?

Program

What is this Administration pro-
gram which hangs upon either an
amendment to the Constitution or a
change in the point of view of the
Supreme Court? Nobody can read
the Presidents mind, but enough of
his plan has been disclosed to make
the general purport clear. Broadly,
the program includes ten major
items.
I'D The plan, already submitted,
for reorganizing the executive
branch of the government.
CD A plan for establishment of
minimum wages and maximum
hours in industry and abolition of
child labor.
CD A supplementary plan for
voluntary trade agreements by in
dustries, allowing some relaxation of
antitrust laws in an effort to abol-
ish unfair trade practices.
Cd A e program for agricul-
ture, carrying out Secretary Wal
iace's idea for an "ever-normal gran
ary," and with some form of Fed
eral crop control as a method to
help bring it about.
(5.) A federal plan of slum-clear-
ance and low-cost housing.
CO. A plan for broadening the
Federal power policy. coupled, per
haps, with a more i%ntegrated plan
for flood control and water use.

which cannot make Roadway in Con-
gress until the most important of
all of them is out of the way.
The key-log in this legislative jam
is the Presidents bill for the re-
organization of the Supreme Court.
1t is generally accepted on Capitol
Hill that the rest of the Admins
tration's program must wait until
that issue is resolved, for on the lib
eralization of the Court rests the
success or failure of the Govern
ments reform plans. 1t might be
possible to put a large part of the
program into laws which would
stand the Constitutional test, but
in the lgiht of the fate of N.R.A.,
A.A.A., the Guffey Coal Act and 9TH
er New Deal measures, there is a
strong disclination to take any
chances with the Supreme Court as
now constituted. Therefore, the re-
organization of the Court, by the
addition of justices who will see
eye to eye with the President on
the constitutionality of his program,
is essential if he is to get his prof.
ects accepted by Congress.
And the key-log, the Court Reor-
ganziation proposal, is still jammed,
with some doubt as to whether it
will ever be released, and a reason
able certainty that the process will
take a long time, in any event. Sem
ators and Representatives are re-
signing themselves 10 a long, long
session; but with the air-cooling
system now in operation throughout
the Capitol and the offices of mem
bers, the prospect of sitting through
another Washington summer is not
so appalling as it once was.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
ESCAPING TAXES

"There is growing up new class, which, by
the ownership of government securities, has more
privileges and less responsibility than any royalty
the world has ever known. They live OH the taxes
of the people, while they themselves enjoy many
tax exemptions" says Arthur Huntington in Public
Utilities Fortnightly. s,. ....
1t is probable that not one person out of ten
realizes that government borrowings are exempt
from taxation. rl -,,S,-,I;sl,N t...
In other words, the man who buys $1,000 worth
or $4,000 worth of government bonds is in the
privileged class that is not taxed the income he
derives from those bonds.
< Also, the businesses which the government de-
velops with the money derived from the privileged,
tax-free bonds, are wholly or largely tax exempt.
The privileged holder of tax-exempt bonds
lodges his tax obligations, which the masses have
to pay. -
The governments subsidized tax-exempt indus
tries dodge the taxes which all other businesses has
to pay. .....
Is it any wonder that the cost of government
and taxation of the common people rises as the
tax-exempt government borrowings increase, to
build bigger and better tax-exempt experiments in
all parts of the United States.-Greenville Pied

LET'S THINK IL OVER
BY WICKES WAMBOLDT

Of the punkcst | had ever seen.
The show was good for my friend
but no good for me.
In matters Of opinion we
should learn to develop our own
judgment. We can, you know,
learn how cOnStructivcly TO use
our own opinions. We can by
thoughtful practice educate our
powers Of understanding. But in
matters of principle .- long cs-
tabliShcd, age-old principles --
there is no need to go guessing
about, for they are as fixed as the
stars. They do not change. They
belong to everybody. They are as
good for one as for another. We
do not need to ask anybody
whether we should steal or not,
or lie or not, or be false or not.
We can get those answers for our
selves right from the fountain
head of truth. We know or can
easily learn as much about Ques-
tons of that character as anybody
else. A simple study Of the fun
damental laws Of life will give
anyone such information.
But there is one angle of this
business Of opinion which should
never be overlooked or ignored:
If what we want to do, or think
we want to do. deeply involves
someone else. if it is apt to break
into somebody clSc's welfare,
then we should stop, look and lis

son actually has no right to do

VTASHINGTON.--It is ra n er
w commonly believed that the
antitrust laws virtually have
been emasculated by past de-
cisions of the Supreme Court. But
even the most conservative law
yer has to admit that when 1t
comes to predicting the. courts
present-day position on an OLD Is
sue, you never can tell.
In antitrust cases the court,
perhaps, has demonstrated its
mental elasticity more frequently
than in any other field. That's
one fact which makes the govern
ment's dissolution suit against the
aluminium Company of America
SO interesting. The court consist
emily has held against price-hXlng
agreements among competitors,
but its decisions as to monopolieS
the Aluminium Company Is
charged with being a monopoly
under the Sherman Act-have
been varied.
THE Sherman Act was passed in
u 1890. Designed to prevent
monopolistic corporations from
controlling prices by acquiring
plants and restricting production,
it prohibited suppression Of COM
petition. a. declared illegal "ev-
cry contract, combination in the
form of trust or otherwise, or con-
spiracy, in restraint of trade OF
commerce. =. :" Anyone en-
gaging in such q combination, OF
monopolizing o. attempting tc
monopolize "any part of" that
trade was subject to $4,000 fine
OF q year in prison.
In 1895 the Supreme Court
took its first great whack agains'
the antitrust laws. The govern
ment had sued the American
Sugar Refining Co., whose acqui'
sitions had resulted in a nearly
complete monopoly. The cour
held that manufacture was in
herently a local pursuit and tina
a combination of manufacturer
didn't violate the act, since it af'
fected interstate commerce onl!

store counties, which we intend to publish
at future dates.
The second prediction made by DR.. Hol-
ton is that there will be steadily expand
ing expenditures of liquor funds in pri-
maries and general elections in North
Carolina.
That is an absolutely logical conclusion.
To DR.. Holton's prediction The Times
News adds this one: If the present con
troll system lasts five years, at the end OF
that time every North Carolina county in
which the system has been adopted will be
controlled politically by the liquor crowd
and in every one the dominating factor in
all elections will be the liquor traffic and
liquor slush funds.
This liquor traffic control of politics and
elections will extend to municipal, county
and State elections.
Remember that the brewers and distil-
lers of the county are now doing busl-
ness which they claim amounts to three to
four billion dollars annually. 1t is reported
by the vets that around six million dol
lars worth of business has been done by
liquor stores in North Carolina wet coun-
ties
What will the liquor business Of North
Carolina be worth after few years OF eX-
ploitation, advertising and teaching and
encouraging the youth of the State to guz-
zle. alcoholic beverages?
Some enthusiastic vets estimate that 10
to 100 million dollars worth of legal
liquor" can be sold after the traffic has
been developed and gets a strangle-hold
on the State.
What will the brewers and distillers Of
other States pay for even fifty million
dollar liquor market in North Carolina?
How much money will they spend to
carry Control" elections and open up the
States territory to the legalized liquor
traffic?
Honest answers to these questions prove
beyond a doubt that in the future the DOM
mating factor in politics and elections IN
North Carolina wet counties will be liquor
DR.. HoltonS third conclusion is that the
State will witness steady movement to
frame" public officials unfriendly to the
liquor traffic and to compel them to en-
courage the traffic.
This, of course, is logical outcome OF
liquor control of politics and elections. In
all wet counties public officials will be
liquor controlled; and in dry counties such
efforts rs are made by public officials to
enforce the laws and afford some shreds
of protection to dry territory will bring
down upon such officials the wrath of the
legalized liquor octopus and its North
Carolina supporters and efforts to frame"
officials will become a recognized proce-
dure.
Think on these things, good citizens; TO
matter what your present views OF the
liquor problem may be.
