WHAT HAPPENED TO AKRON

Akron's rich industries were paying much more
than the national wage average and the entire city
was riding a wave of prosperity before the advent
of the Clio. Akron has since become ghost town.
These things are said in the Liberty magazine by
c. Nelson Sparks former mayor of Akron.
The attack on Akron by the Clio, Mr.. Sparks
says. began with fewer than 200 Goodyear rubber
workers being called out on strike ny outside or
ganzers In a few days 5000 pickets, many of
them coal miners and steel workers. were maSSed
from nearby cities, and set up camp in front of the
factory.
Fifteen hundred men were locked up in the
plant. unable to leave in safety. More than 1000
men were out of work. Akrons prosperity was
beginning to ebb. Everybody in the town was feel
ing the effects of the ut-down and the strife.
"Akron's story for the next two years is Sor-
did tale of suicides, broken homes evctions, fore
closures, privation and want of destruction of
private property and violence to woikingmcn whose
only crime was that they want to work; of bomb
ings. shootings. stabblngs, kldnapngs and threats
to women and children"
Not the in Akron. but outside organizers,
brought about conditions whereby Akron has Suf-
fered severely. These outside agtaors have caused
dire poverty among families which were wcl-fed
on grand scale Politicians, more less directly,
encouraged them.
What have the rank and file of Akrons working,
men got out Of the campaign by the C1O? They
have not gained the detectives the Go leaders
promised them. They have caused themselves 20
lose paying jobs. The Go leaders openly asserted
that they had the support of the Roosevelt admin
straton, and that administration has never denied
their claims. Not only in Akron, but in other com
munities to which they brought strife. the ClO
leaders have said that the Roosevelt administration
was on their side.
Rabble-rousers have wrought deep hurt to Akron
and to other American communities. They have
made trouble for innocent women and children
They have brazenly interfered with the movement
of United States mails, confident that they would
not be punished. They have seized and occupied
factories They continue to create strife between
employer and employe,-The Charleston News and

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
DEMOCRACY VS.. MOBOCRACY

Self-covernment has never succeeded except
among men who exercised self-control. The Greeks
had it. The Puritans had it. In addition, the Puri-
tans sought to govern self by divine help. They
had conviction that each mans voice in govern
ment was worthy of consideration because he
spoke out of conscience because he could appeal
directly to God for guidance. The sum of citizens
voices expected to be more than a combination
of private prejudces. selfish interests, or personal
passions 1t was rather the sum of the best wisdom
and motives they habitat was why men could
speak of "vox populi, vox Del"
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler does well to remind
Americans today that 'for any real comprehension
of the meaning and principles of democratic form
of government the People must be distinguished
from the Mob" The individuals are the same;
what distinguishes them is their thinking The
People as the electorate of democracy. must act
to some extent at least on a basis of reason. lib
erty kindness Justice self-restraint independence.
tolerance. magnanimity, faith intelligence, unset
fish consideration for the general welfare. The
Mob is dominated by violence license, hate, inius-
tice. passion. subservience. intolerance envy dis
trust. ignorance. blind greed.
There is the deepest difference between "ideolo.
gies" The people of the democracies will better
understand the underlying struggle IN the WolP"
today if they it as one taking place primarily
in thought-including their own. The conflict Is
to some extent nation against nation 1t is in some
respect communism and fascsm against democracy.
But it is more truly violence versus reason, intO
erance versus tolerance, subservence versus indie
pendenct, greed versus the general welfare.
Those who want to maintain successful self-gov
eminent have the secret if they will watch what
governs their own thinking about government. No
citizen need look very far to see where violence.
intolerance subserviencc. and greed are attending
democracy. DR.. Butler believes one form of greed
is particularly active, threatening revolution
through taxation" redstrbutng wealth and pen
alizing enterprise. Certainly grab-bag government,
in which each individual group asks only, What
is there in it for me-? is not democracy.-Christian

HERE is A PRIMARY NEED FOR
COMMUNITY BUILDING

Great interest was aroused by the Hen
derson county centennial in the prospects
for establishing a county historical mu-
scum. The showing made by the display
of antiques and historical relics on this oc-
caSion received unqualified praise from
county people and visitors and created
demand for a place where a permanent
showing can be made. Scores of centen-
NAL exhibitors and many other persons
have since Signihed their interest and their
desire to contribute displays for a county
museum.
Members of the D. A. R. and other ladies
almost Immediately started a movement
for a museum. Investigation disclosed that
no suitable place for its location was OBJ
tainable. A suitable place would be one
where the museum contents could be safe
lv kept and properly displayed. No place
meeting the requirements is available.
This fact has given rise to the movement
for a community building, where the mu-
scum could be safely housed and properly
displayed, and where. in addition. many
other community interests and activities
might be conferred.
The community building is needed for
many reasons in addition to the fact that
it could be made to meet the demand for
. housing for the historical museum. For
ward looking citizens believe that NOW Is
the time to put this movement over to sue
cess. 1t is their opinion that this can be
done: that the necessary money can be
) secured to erect an attractive and commo-
dious community building.
i. This newspaper and the public desires
i. to ascertain the reaction of the people of
= town and county to this proposal. The
{ columns of The Times-News are open to
anv who will come forward with views
and suggestions. Let us find out what the
a citizens Of town and country think on the
, subject, and get some knowledge of their
!, probable support of movement to make
this important forward step.

The president of the United States made
what was planned to be spectacular trip
to Maryland and promised as much as
thirty million dollars of federal tax money
for the building of gigantic bridges.
The trip proved to be not so spectacular
and the vision of bridges in the future was
far from sufficient to carry over the presl-
dents candidate for the United States Sen

However. the spectacle of president OF
the nation offering bride of money from

cause every honest straight-thlnking cltl-

president ROOSEVELT'S dis
l. regard of the a. F. of LIS pro-
test against reappointment OF

may or may not be due to the fact
that Smith has been more friendly
TO A. F. of l.. unions than the other
smith on the board, Edwin S.,
whom William Green also de-
nounceS.
Chief objection of the A. F. OF

boards occasional notification OF
a contract between an A. F. OF l..
union and an employer on the
ground the employer had infu-
enced workers to join the A. F

against a c. l. o. union.
But the board several times has
upheld the A. F. of LIS conten-
ton that votes to choose worker

gaining should be taken by craft
units-or partly by crafts-and on
such occasions, Donald Smith has
voted in the majority with Chair

THE TRAGEDY OF EXCESSIVE TAXATION

If anyone wishes to know why industry is find
ing it difficult to go ahead these days, he find
one potent reason in the gigantic tax burden.
The American Federation of Investors recently
made study of $50 representative large corpora
tons, involved in every leading line of business
The total assets of these companies amounted to
nearly $4,000, 900, 900 Their capital has been
furnished by 6,490,000 shareholders most of them
small investors with less than 100 shares of stock
Their total number of employees was 3,l71,000 in
1887.
In that year, the companies paid their common
stockholders an average of $1.45 per share. And
their tax bill amounted to 1852 for each share Of
common stock outstanding close to double as
much as was received by the companies owners.
Putting it another way, these 80 typical large
corporations paid taxes amounting to 1921 for
each common shareholder, and $5l4 per employee
Those cold figures tell tragic story. Excessive
taxation is deprivng investors of revenue that
would flow into the stream of commerce, creating
purchasing power and business opportunities. 1t is
depriving legion of workers of productive jobs
It is an ever-growing barrier in the road of prog
