LABOR AND TAXES

Tie wage rate in the United States has increased
five times since 1850. In other words the average
wage paid today is five times as high was paid IN
1860. Of the total national income over % per
cent goes to wages and salaries. Counting the
wages of self-employed, those who work in their
own places of business, the percentage Of national
income that goes to wages and salaries is over ~
per cent.
When such large portion of the national in
come goes to labor, it is evident that almost as
large percentage of the taxes also must be paid
by labor. Government extravaganza is just as cost
ly to wage Garner as it is to highly paid ex-
eeutive of large business -Centerville Journal.

NAILS WONDER ABOUT SMITH,
MIDDLEToWN
tBy BRUCE CATION


Superior In tone, sarcastic, touched with
mock pity is Hitler's public comment on
Secretary of State Hul's proposal for an
international committee to aid German and
Austrian refugees.
Der Fuehrer describes as criminals
those whom he refers to elsewhere as in
cOrrigible opponents of Nazism, and ex-
presses more than willingness to turn
them over, "for all care, even on luxury
ships" .... .. ..-
America faces grave domestic disturb
ances" in harboring such refugees, states
Der Angriff, editorial Nazi mouthpiece,
and asks rhetorically: as that the wish of
Mr.. Smith from Middletown?"
Mr.. Smith from Middletown has become
we'll known as the typical Joe Citizen in
'Middletown," and "Middletown in Transi-
tion," published studies of the typical mid
western city" ......
1t is the wish of Mr. Smith from Middle
town that America continue to be aware of
her good fortune in having proved attrac-

kind of official oppression.
1t is the wish of Mr.. Smith from Middle
town that America continue to enjoy the
social benefits of such distinguished refu-
gees as Germans has already lost to US.
1t is the wish of Mr.. Smith from Middle
town that his right never be taken from
him to be as ineorrigible an opponent of
what he believes to be unjust as he wishes
to be. g.. ...
On the day that Hitler's speech was
made public, II stowaways from China

The stowaways will be deported. Ameri,
cas- intention is not to admit the citizens OF

LETTING The SOUTH DOWN

In the course of comments upon President Roose-
velt's Gainesville speech, The Texas Weekly says;
Another brutal fact which the people of the
South had better face without further delay is that
the national leadership of the Democratic party,
as it exists today; has no real understanding of
the South's major problems and no genuine SYM
pathy with those who do understand them and who
are resolved to find practical solutions for them
So it appears. r.,.
The Gainesville speech shows the administration
lack of sympathetic understanding of our economic
problems and the anti-lynching bill fight shows the
lack of understanding of our racial problems.
The national Democratic party, long cherished
and supported by the South, evidences willing
ness now, if it serves it purpose elsewhere, to let
the South down.
Presumably the national leadership assumes that
inasmueh as this section always has been in the bag
without effort for the party in national elections, it
always shall be.
That is an unsafe assumption.-Greenville Pied,

MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE OVERLOOKED

One of the deplorabe aspects of the effort at
taken by Mr. Roosevelt without any thought OF,
or desire for, substantial economies Efficiency
and simplifcation were to be the great desderata,
and the President said that he thought only about
$S0,000,000 year could be saved That, in the
present state of the federal budget, is nothing at
all. /, .....
1t seems highly probable, as Senator Byrd con-
tends that if serious effort was made to promote
economy in recognizing the administrative Setup
at Washington, substantial savings Gould be effect
ed. The vast bureaucracy which has grown up at
Washington and throughout the United States in
the past five years ought by all means TO be dras
tically reduced in size.
One glimpse into the magnitude of that ebu-
reaucracy is afforded through recent survey made
in South Carolina county, with view to ascer-
tanning how many federal departments, bureaus
and agencies of one sort or another attempting
to aid the farmers there. The survey revealed that
no fewer than 81 federal agencies functionng
on behalf of the farmers of that single county.
Such waste and duplication ought by all means
to have the attention of the President and of Con-
gress Efficiency can be promoted, the Presi-
dent says but certainly where there is so much lost
motion and duplication, large sums can also be
saved BY courageous and fortnight action. Neces-
sary spending is one thing. Wasteful and unneces-
sary spending is something else.--Richmond Times

Observation-Disclosures Pat
w Harrison and his Senate
Finance Committee may be kept
busy explaining hurried leap to
relieve business" which would
have the effect of increasing the
total corporation tax burden by
around 10 per cent
The committee substituted a
fiat 10 per cent rate on corporation
profits for the House proposal of
a 20 per cent tax with four cents
deduetible for each dollar paid
out in dividendS-known as the
"20-l6 plan"
Corporations with net incomes
of less than $4,000 would pay a
smaller tax under the committee
bill than under the House bill. So
would corporations which distrib-
ute little or none of their profits
through dividends.
But corporations above the S25.-
600 mark which distributed con-
siderable sums of earnings through
dividends would pay more in
taxes than they would under the
present law. And corporations
earning between $500 and $25,-
00O, even though corporations
earning less than SIS 900 are given
special .'relief" provisions, would
pay more than under the House
plan.
And the net result would be that
all corporations would pay the
Treasury $75,000,000 more than
tey would if the present corpo-
rate surplus tax law were retained
and $97,0o0.000 more than the
House plan would levy. Treasury

and House rely say the present

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
MANIFESTATION OF HINpsIeHT

Now that the farm control program which the
North Carolina tobacco growers so eagerly voted
upon themselves only few short weeks ago is be-
ing translated from generalities into specific i'm
positions the noise emanating from the great to-
bacco growing section must be interpreted as any
thing but shouts of approval
Before US is a dispatch FROM Wilson which quotes
j. e. Eagles, state senator and former president of
the Eastern Carolina Warehouse association, as
saying that "fue-cured tobacco allotments under
the new farm program shown in the Wilson
county program were entirely too small to meet
the requirements of the trade" AS this dispatch,
bearing United Press credit-line further puts it
Wilson was the first North Carolina county in
which Individual sllotments under the S44O, 0o0-
900 farm bill were made, and protests from small
growers against reductions flooded the office of
w. L. Adams, county farm agent, today
The aiiotments are right in line with the pro-
duetion Of four years ago, which was only $50 0O0
900 pounds" Eagles said. -
The Wilson county allotment committee held an
aA-day session today hearing protests of Individual
farmers and landlords who objected to the reduc-
tons in the acreage allotted them under the mar.
keting quota system. - -
What is to be done about the situation which
Mr. Eagles presumably representing the trade, and
the growers protest the Daily News does not at
creation There is the probability of stewins in
their own tobacco juice or of niarssalng political
pressure to the extent that larger quotas NAV be
oOtslned Applying political pressure however is

dams Mr.. Parkman found the
squaws repulsive to him. Describ-
ing them he said that not ali the
ornaments they could put on could
disguise their native ugliness. But
the longer he was among the IN
dams the softer grew his COM
ments on the squaws, until final
ly he got to dwelling on their lit
tie feminine ways and referring
to some as good looking and to
others as still better looking.
In other words, Mr.. Parkman's
book brings out that the more he
saw of the squaws the better they
looked to him-which is but an
other illustration Of the power of
propinquity. Place a man among
any class of women in the world,
no matter how Objectionable to
him they may be at first, if he
stays among them long enough,
some of them will become attrac-
tive to him. That is one Of the
great laws of nature and explains
why some men marry some wo-
men and why some women marry

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER.

the finance Committee bill $94s,-
100000.
THE Securities and Exchange
Commission has just dropped
charges against New York pub
lie accountant accused of misrep-
resenting himself as an SEC officer
"a charge which, if proved. would
have disqualified him from prac-
tice before the commission. Evil
dence was largely based on. a con-
ference between the accountant
and two corporation officials. SEC
found the charges not substan-
tiated.
"The record shows that most of
the Biltmore conference of Oct. IL
took place in the bar, and that
each of the persons present had
two or three alcoholic drinks" the
SEC found solemnly. This cir
cumstance does not inspire great
confidence in the memory of the
witnesses as to exactly what was
said on that occasion"
In contrast to most SEC pro-
ceedings, the trial was fairly live
ly. An SEC lawyer, prosecuting
the charges, offered evidence as
to the accountants "braggadocio.s
GAIL you're charging him with"
said Commissioner Jerome Frank
from the dais, "is super-egotisn.
You wouldn't disbar lawyer for
that, would you? You might deci-
mate the bari"
"And the bench?" suggested the
SEC lawyer.
Later Frank suggested that the
accountant might have been mis-
understood.
Haven't you ever been misun-
derstood?" he asked the attorney.
I'm married" was the reply.

Far from the world of care and

Alone l walked with Thee.
My bleeding heart was one
With Thy own crimson hands;

No link, no pain, no bands;
My soul cried out from loss,
My heart was crushed and sore,
And yet Thou, too, had borne
the cross,
And knew Thy friends, the

Beside life's surging sea,
And Love took up my burdens

ELECTRICAL REFRlGERA.
TON: The history of electrical
refrigeration in Hendersonville
started about IS years ago. when
it was considered a summertime
luxury. Now America regards it
an all-year necessity as evidenced
by the sale of 10000 domestic
electric refrigerators in January.
ACKNOWLEDGING NEXT:
Drinking and eating establish
ments now make much of electri-
cal refrigeration in Henderson
vile, but air-conditioning in sum-
mer awaits introduction.
When one dining room or drug
store yields to the modern trend
in summer comforts in Hender-,
sonville, others will follow in self
defense. When will this take
place? Even w, D. Lehman, local
representative of the Carrier air
conditioning system, would very
likely like to know.
