NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE DRYS' POSITION

The drys in the legislature are sponsoring
statewide referendum on the liquor issue.
They side with the minority members of the
liquor commission who would refer this issue to all
the people concurrently.
No doubt the drys feel that statewide vote Is
their only hope. 1t would seem to be, and even
that not so good.
Manifestly, if the county option procedure is
followed, large number of the individual coun-
ties will choose to their own liquor stores and
get the revenue awards therefrom.
The experience of the Is counties that are now
permitted to have their liquor stores will be In
uentia with others if the issue is left in the hands
of the voters of the individual counties
This newspaper is committed, also, to the state
wide referendum.
1t feels that otherwise the present spotted situa
ton will continue to prevail, with some counties
wet and some dry, with the practical effect of al
the state being wet in fact if not in law.
Primarily, however, it feels that democrac!
that does not allow the state as whole to decide
this question is itself spotted and notified spirit
of democracy Observer. .'

WTASHINGTON-A Negro mes
Nsenger recently was observed
staggering across Pennsylvania
Avenue toward the White House,
heavily laden with a pile of
bound, typewriter pages about
.wo feet high.
If it had been known in time
what he was carrying, he almost
certainly would have been way
laid by 10 cabinet members, a
hundred bureau chiefs and COM
missioners, and a small army Of
other New Deal officials.
For the messengers load was
The report of the presidents COM
mittee on reorganization of gov
eminent - consisting of Louis
Brownlow, Charles E. Merriam,
and Luther Gulick.
Significance of this doesn't rest
in the curious fact that the report
wasn't toted in a taxi or a gov
eminent wagon, but in the insist
ance of those who saw the pile
hat only a small portion of the
committees actual report has
been transmitted to Congress.
Roosevelt gave Congress only
n pages, which laid down general
principles and outlined specif-
:ally only those broad, major
changes recommended by the
committee which require congress
sional action.
THE actual program for regroup-
l. ing more than a hundred gov
eminent agencies, commissions,
and DEMONSTRATING such big
ones as WPA, PWA, Social Secur-
lty, CCC, and TVA-there is every
reason to believe, is locked up in
the presidents desk for use after
Congress gives him power to use
it.
An enormous amount Of subter-
ranean lobbying, directed at the
White House, already has begun.
Many officials suspect they know
what's in the suppressed bulk Of
the Brownlow report and are

bringing Sucn pressure as they
can in cases where they don't
like if.
Roosevelt seeks TO give the i'm
preston that, aside from creation
of the Social Welfare and Public
Works Departments, the White
House Secretariat expansion, and
other phases of his congressional
message, the program isn't worked
out-implyirg that nothing else is
a final decision.
NEATLY and as if without
" guile, the president, in his
special press conference on reor-
ganization, sought to spike the
guns OF Senator Harry F. Byrd OF
Virginia, chairman Of a Senate
committee on reorganization, who
keeps insisting hat hundreds OF
millions of dolla;s can be saved
through pruning and reorganiza-
ton.
Explaining why no appreciable
saving could be made without
elimination or curtalment of fed
eral functions-by' doing less

reorganization-the PRESIDENT sug-
gested that by consolidation OF
overlapping functions the federal
government probably could save
proportionately as muh as states

He mentioned New Yoik, Maine

he said that in no case,did any

ton, or less than " per c,nt.
Byrd'S chief claim as reorgan.
ization expert rests on the fact
that, as governor, he supervised .
consolidation in Virginia Which
merged 95 departments into Il de.
partments and two agencies.
Roosevelt didn't say wheher
Virginia had saved ~ per rent
or u per cent, but no correspond
ent was so dull-witted as to Mss

UPLIFTING THE

1T is the duty of every one OF
us to try all the time to improve
ourselves" said housewife to
her cook. "And we should find
our work more interesting if we
took more interest in it.
"You would get real enjoyment
out of your work if you would do
every detail OF it as carefully as
you know how. You would ac-
tually get pleasure out of cooking
oatmeal if you would be careful
about tiff you would take pains
abot measuring the salt, the meal,
the water, and the length of time
you cook it. Then you could really
take a pride in your work.
and you would find satisfac-
ton in coming to work if you
would plan to get here every
morning on time instead Of ten of
fifteen minutes late. When you
are tardy it makes you feel de-
pressed whether you realize it or
not. 1t does not help you or US
to start the day dissatisfied about
a late breakfast"

dressed to soft-hearted citizens in the name
of the oppressed childhood of the nation
conveniently ignoring the fact that man!
females up to eighteen years OF age are
married and have families of their own
that proportion of the males up to the
same age are in that condition,and that
there are millions of robust youngsters 10
to Is years of age in the country VINO are
able and willing to work if the radicals 90
not get control and deprive them OF TINS
God-given right. ..
We now have the spectacle of this rad
ically conceived, concocted and inspired
attempt to communize the children ana
homes of this country, receiving the sup
port of some good but misinformed and
misguided citizens.
The North Carolina legislature has twice
rejected this amendment, but proposal to
ratify it has been introduced at the pres
ent session of the Legislature. Strange to
say, the radical proponents of the measure
contend that State once having rejected
the amendment can vote again and ratlty
it, but no State having approved it can
vote to rescind that approval. That is, OF
course, as logical and reasonable and fair
as the general attitude of the makers and
sponsors of the amendment. 1t is certainly
as logical and reasonable as the assertion
that there is crying need for this radical
move in the face of the fact that every one
of the 48 States has child labor laws; that
child labor is now practically unknown
throughout the United States; that labor
by anybody of any age is frowned upon
and the most thorough-going generation OF
loafers ever known in any age or country
is right now being grown in the United
States. .. ..... .....
Citizens who value the liberty that re-
mains on the farms and in the homes; the
God-given right and duty to control their
children and to determine how they shall
be reared and what is best for them, will
be aroused to action by the certainty that
unless there is an aroused sentiment made
evident at once in % States which have
not approved this amendment it will be-
come the law of the country. If it is adopt
ed it will annul and supercede three OF the
principal constitutional guarantees OF the
existing federal Constitution. This Will be
true without any action by Congress. These
are the guarantee of the sancitity OF the
home in the 4th Amendment, and the right
to work, guaranteed in the 5th and l4th
Amendments.
Of course we are tearfully assured by
the advocates of this drastic change IN the
fundamental law of the country that while
the amendment would lodge in Congress
the clear and unchallenged power to do
all these things, that benevolent and all
wise body can be trusted to rightfully use
this vast and almost unlimited power. This
newspaper hopes at a later date to devote
some space to discussion OF this phase Oh
the matter.
