THE GOVERNOR PROTESTS

Governor Hoey wired protest to the ADMINS
traton's flood control program in which he said
North Carolina is definitely opposed to the
adoption of such senate amendments to the flood
control bill as would tend to give the federal gov
eminent title to the water resources of the states
without their consent. do not believe that these
amendments which have this effect should be adopt
ed by the conference committee"
The Raleigh News and Observer takes Governor
Hoey to task on his position and We are not sur
prised The Raleigh paper whose publisher, Hon.
Josephus Daniels is Roosevelt appointee as am
bassador to Mexico always sees eye to eye with Mr.,
Roosevelt and is ready to challenge any disagree
ment by anybody with New Dealism.
Mr. Hoey is standing true to the principles of
the Democratic party and to the constitution UNI
der which we live when he protests giving control
of our water resources to the federal government
without the consent of the states. We well remem-
Der that the Aluminium Company wished to build
a dam and erect nine million dollar plant near
the source of North Carolina stream, but declined
to proceed when the Federal government stepped
in and demanded that the company secure fran
chise from Washington. Rather than submit to all
of the dictatons and restrictions that Washington
bureaus would impose, the plant has not been and
perhaps never will be built
And this means that North Carolina loses taxes
on millions of dollars worth of property and that
hundreds of jobs will not be created.-Shelby Star.

BY WAY OF EXPLANATION

Senator Josiah W. Bailey, during the course OF
his powerful commencement address at Ceios Null
day. expressed amazement that the American Peo-
pie had countenanced tolerated many OF 'he
developments the encroachments and the infringe
ments which have been perpetrated by the lncreaS-
ingly centralized government at Washington
Figures which are Immediately available ana
with which we feel sure the North Cafohna states
man must be familiar may do much to orlng uhoel
standing of that situation which ne processes W
view with what seems to be an admlxture OF III
credulity, disappointment and surprise.
1t is now possible to compile total expenditures
of the federal government since Mr.. Roosevelt ana
associates amalgamated into the new DEAL took
charge of the works. From 1884 through 1889,
with appropriations of the 18th Congress %hlch
Just adjourned included, the total reaches the al
most unbelievable sum of $3.50, $4,000 with
the trend increasing rather than taperlng on TOT
the fiscal year which is upon us. This total does
not include the disbursements for 1933-34 as
much of the money involved in that twelVemonth
supplied by the outgoing Hoover Congress Az
no time, however, have annual expenditures any
thing like approached the projected 1889 inquire OF
$11, 3O5, 4S3S62. Where all that money has gone
or is going, how many of the so-called sovereign
voters have got cut of it, do not know ana
make no attempt to say
Simultaneously with release of these figures not
announced by official agencies as such but com
piled from the annual records by correspondents
themselves and doubtless to be termed propaganda
by Senator Minton and his school of thought be-
cause they were, comes revelation likewise by
Washington newsmen who have searched the rec
ords that government checks of one sort or an
other are going into approximately 2o,OoO,oOo
American homes
And now are you ready to join in the expana-
ton of those conditions which spell amazement
for Senator Bailey? Fifty-fve billions of dollars
with trickles from portion of it going into 20
900 900 homes at present, must be capable OF
dulling, almost to the point of extinction, that
civic conscience from which the dictates of the
commonwealth have heretofore sprung.-GreenS-

AS TO PUNCTUATION


Persons (including Stenograph-

recent newspaper paragraph de-
scriptive of a certain actress
"She was born in st. Louis TWEEN
ty-one years ago at the age OF
eight. She made her stage debut,
appearing in Los Angeles with
Leo Carrillo" -.
Proper punctuation would have
corrected the abSurdity by max

born in st. Louis 81 years ago.
At the age of eight, she made"

should be used than is necessary.
There is a tendency nowadays to

ON THE WAY TO BANKRUPTCY

Mr. Roosevelt has never uttered a more lmpres-
sive truth during the whole of his public speaking
and writing than when in Pittsburgh in October
1882, he said this:
Now the credit of the family depends chiefly
whether that family is living within It's income
And this is so of the nation. If the nation IS NV
ing within it's income its credit is good H. IN
some crisis it lives beyond its income Tor year
or two, it can usually borrow temporarily on rea-
sonabe terms But if, like spendthrift, it throws
discretion to the winds, is willing to make no sac
riice at all in spending, extends IT'S taxing 10 inc

WHAT is GOOD IS WHAT WORKS
(By BRUCE CATION


PIaCidlv indifferent to the zealotS who
howl that we must take either Communism
on Fascism day after tomorrow, and like It,
the people of Sweden go about the crea-
ton of their own design for living.
That it is good one is attested by the
celebration in Stockholm of the 8Oth birth
dav of King Gustaf V. More than million
of his subjects contributed to gift of a
million-dOIlar check which was presented
to the king He Immediately passed it on
to fund for fighting infantile, paralysis
and rheumatic diseases. ... g., ....
Half a million jammed the streets of
the capital to cheer the king. They shout
ed for Mr.. g." the imcognito under which
the king used to play tennis, and by which
title he is popularity known. Thousands of
birthday gifts from rich and poor piled up
at the palace. ,... ....
The king himself paid the highest honor
to his position, when in a speech he re-
ferred to himself as the premier citizen
of fres country" 1t was true descrip-
ton of his status. far more accurate than
king" No more noble political title has
vet been conceived blythe mind of man.
Even to his Socialist ministers, King
Gustav is known as "a good fellow" and
the left-wing papers in noting the anniver-
sary were united in proclaiming that even
to radicals, good monarchy is better than
a bad republic. For they know that Swe-
den has approached more nearly than any
other country to a condition where there
are few who are very rich, and few who
are very poor, and where all are free.
This picture of great country paying a
large spontaneous tribute to its ruler and
doing it in dignifed, decent manner with
out needing the populaee with nationals
tic hokum or herding it into synthetic huz-
2as, is like light in a world of strife and
turmoil, of bitterness and hatred.
This is no plea for monarchy. The COM
bination of circumstances that makes mon
archy success in Sweden probably does
not exist in the same degree anywhere else
in the world. 1t could not possibly work in
a country like the United States or France.
But the Swedish celebration does point
strongly 10 the TACT that actuality is what
counts in government. If it works, if it
makes people reasonably happy and Sc
cure, If it makes them free, the name by
which governmental system is called
means nothing.
glance around the world shows that
1t is possible to have oppression and sup
preston under governments called "peo-
pies governments" 1t is possible to have
tyranny and brute force under system
of elections that is in name republican.
The substance is the thing, not the label.
Sweden has the substance, and is content.
To any who might reproach them with
having an outdated monarchy as form of
government, the Swedes are in, position to
return a lifting laugh. They are realistic.
They care more for life than labels.
