JUDGE BARS KNITTING
BY WOMEN ON JURIES

ALBANY, n. Y, Feb. 5. (UP)
Women Jurors will not knit in
his court, Supreme Court Justice
Francis Bergan has warned. ,
at would be distracting to
other jurors, the witnesses and
to the judge" he explained.
He added that women have as
good judgment as men and some-
times better, and therefore should
not fear approaching the job Of
jury service, which has been a
sanctuary for men for centuries
The time has come, Justice Der
gan said, for a mandatory woman
juror law. However, he suggested
that the law exempt women
whose housekeeping and chill
rearing duties make it impossible
for them to devote the necessary
time to jury service

RECORD OF THE TAX EATERS OF
RAILROADS

Railway Age, an authority in all matters
relating to the railroads of the United
States, says that in the past seven years
the railroads in this country have paid 142
times as much in taxes as they have paid
in dividends to their stockholders. This is
the showing made by carefully prepared
statistics.
That is doing very well indeed as rec
ord for the tax eaters. The stockholders
supply the money to build and equip the
railroads. The money of the stockholders
keeps them running. Yet the tax collectors
get 715 times as much in seven years as the
owners of the roads.
All of which indicates one reason why a
radical movement for socialistic ownership
of the railroads by government is making
some Roadway, in spite of the failure Of
government operation of railroads in this
country and the failure of government
ownership in other countries.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
SNEAKING INTO SOCIALISM

Federal courts seem to have a pat answer TO
the petitions of power companies for relief against
governmental competition. The answer is, Nothing
doing The supreme court enunciated this flat neg
alive in the Alabama and Duke Power Co cases,
when it held that while the power companies might
be adversely affected, they had no proprietary
rights in the matter and could not block PWA loans
and gifts for municipal power plants. The circuit
court of appeals in Chattanooga ruled on the same
basis in denying the plea of the utilities for an in
junction against the sale of IVA power, and yes
terday our own circuit court of appeals ordered
protesting power companies to stand aside and let
the Santee-Cooper canal and power project pro-
ceed
But if the courts have u pat answer on the le-
gality of public ownership of power plants we,
nonetheless, have pat question to raise It's le-
gal, all right, but is it desirable? There may be
nothing in the constitution forbidding government
tai competition, but whence cometh the demand
for it? 1t is not, has not been until these last
few years, in the American scheme of things Tor
government to light houses and supply the cur
rent that turns the wheels of factories, any
more than it is for government to pack our meats
or bottle drinks or-publish newspapers
There may have been mandate" uttered by the
people for the first of these processse to be begun
but we are yet to see where their elected repre-
sentatives in congress, where policies crystalline
have enacted this mandate into law.-Charlotte

1T JUST DOESN'T HARMoNlzE

Politicians and economists business men and just
plain ordinary citizens continue to discuss animal
eddy the significance and the probable consequence
of the conviction of sixteen oil companies and thirty
of their executives for violation of the antitrust
laws.
Action was brought against them by the fed
eral government for agreeing on the price of
gasoline; which made them a trust.
They stopped competition by agreement, and for
that jury found them guilty.
The inference would seem to be that they will
be expected to resume competition by cutting
prices.
That seems to be what the government sued to
bring about.
1t is peculiar situation.
If we remember rightly, it this same admin
desperately to maintain the NRA as means of
regulating business so that wages and hours could
be fixed and prices agreed upon which business
and industry could charge.
There was that celebrated case in which the gov
eminent attempted to crack down on dry cleaner
in New York or somewhere who cut the price for
cleaning suit of clothes in competition with other
cleaners.
Is it possible the New Deal is setting out to get
its revenge?
Having failed in it's effort to regiment, regulate
and control, is the New Deal now setting out on 8
program of "rule or ruin!
Certainly it is mighty difficult to make this ac'
ton against the big oil companies this year harmo
nize with the action against that little dry cleaning
company four years ago.-Rock Hill Herald.

UNCLE SAM IN REAL ESTATE
BUSINESS

The national government is going into
the real estate business on the largest scale
in the history of the country. In fact, while
the government has been edging into the
real estate business over number of years,
getting in deeper and deeper as socialistic
ideas and plans developed, it is now pro-
posing to put as much as three billion dol
lars into the buying and building of houses,
under the newly enacted housing law.
Aside from the "humanitarian" features
of the proposition, alleged as basic rea-
son for the scheme, it is pump printing
proposition, designed to afford measure
of employment in the building trades. 1t
may do that in a measure, but it is certain
if it is the means of starting a sizable ar
tifciaI building boom it will not be long
until labor costs and costs of materials will
be boosted to such heights that the move
ment will break down of its own weight.
That is one of the basic troubles with all
artificial stimulation of industry and the
various lines of business by government adj
ministration of stimulant
One fact the government faces (this one
cannot be lodged by the smartest politi-
clans and socialistic schemers) in all its
lending schemes or efforts to act as a cap
ital banker for sundry lines of the coun-
try's business, is that Uncle Sam always
does business with the poorest credit risks
in the nation. He usually loans money to
those persons least able to earn and pay it
back.
The application of this rule to the vast
housing scheme means that Uncle Sam is
going to own lot of so-called low-cost
residence property in the years to come

WAS HINGTO N.-Governor
w George Aiken of Vermont,
who recently caused hubbub by
demanding liberalization" of the
Republican party, is about to leap
into the headlines again.
He will be the Lincoln's Birth
day speaker before the National
Republican Club at the Waldorf
Astoria in New York, which is an
nually the most conspicuous spot
for a distinguished Republican to
crate.
It's a significant fact that Off
Gals of the club try to pick the
most outstanding Republican. In
1886 they chose Senator Arthur
Vandenberg Of Michigan (who will
speak in Boston this year, and in
1887 Governor ALI Landon, the de-
feated presidential candidate.
Friends of Aiken promise some
hot stuff. They expect an cpl
denic OF goose flesh among
wealthy dowagerS and corporation
executives in the audience who
constantly anticipate mass leap
by the voters back to Old Guard
Republicanism.
Aiken is likely to emerge as
leader Of the G. o. P. group which
seeks to throw off the Hoover
Hamilton domination of the party
machine. He is in a fairly stra-
tegic position. Aspirants for the
next presidential nomination are
convinced that Vermont is too
small state, electorally speaking,
to offer an acceptable nominee.
Therefore, they would not seek to
knife Aiken if he asserted leader

movement among those who think
Hoover is still a presidential can
didate.

Virtually all human deviltry
heads up in imagination allowed

worse than a runaway horse or
an automobile with a drunken

crimes and sins are committed
that have not been turned over
again and again and persistently
dwelt on in imagination.
But how is one to gain control
of his imagination and to learn
to entertain constructive forces
and bar destructive forces?
Some learn easily, some not so
easily, as with any other science.
Persistent daily study Of the Cos

set anyone on the right track.

AS WE TRAVEL ALONG
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

This business of being a worth
while person is no simple, hap
hazard undertaking; it is a genu-
inc man-size and woman-size job.
Any person who learns to have
the right attitude toward this
world and the hereafter will be at
peace, for he will know what it
is all about and what to- do about
it. He will have an intelligent,
forward-looking, eXpectant faith.
And he will keep himself in tune
with the Infinite.
You don't suppose for a mo-
ment, do you? that any crook OF
criminal is at peace with himself.
1t is impossible. The farther we
get away from wrongdoing the
more at peace we are. But not
contented-we should never be
thoroughly contented with what
we are; for then we should stop
progressing.

1t should be just as easy for a

ELIZABETH CITY EDITOR COMMENTS ON
PAYNE AND TURNER CASE

Below we copy an editorial appearing in the
Elizabeth City Daily Advance about the Payne and
Turner case. We agree so heartily with what he
says that copy it in full:
SALUTE TO BOTH
As the curtain falls on the trial at Asheville Of
Bill Payne and Wash Turner for the murder Of
Highway Patroman George Penn on the night of
August 22 with richly deserved sentence of death
for EACH The Daily Advance would pause to salute
the man whose death brought them to trial for
murder.
On remote country trail, as the High Point
Enterprise points out, Penn fought it out with
armed desperadoes and died on dead-end road,
leading nowhere, before no understanding cloud OF
witnesses" but he did not die in vain.
Because in the face of slugs from sawed-otf
shotgun and of bullets from high powered rifle
he was not deferred but "kept coming like crazy
man." according to Payne's own account of what
happened North Carolina roads will be safer from
bandits for years to come, both by reason of the
example of Penn's comrades on the highway patrol
and by reason of the fear such madness" as he
displayed will put into the heart of those who,
defying the law, might run afoul of the law en-
forcement corps of which he was member.
Yes, the state is George PENIS debtor, and
debtor too to that mother of his who bred in him
the quality that would not let him stop in the face
of danger that hot August day. The Daily Advance
salutes him and her.-Marshall News-Record

1'I Ola of New York was invited
to speak at the Illinois Agricul-

Agriculture Henry Wallace, fondly
nursing Walla c e-for-President

that as a slap at their idol.

reau Federation and usually con-
sidered the brains behind its pres
ident, Ed O'Neal. The federation

suade Wallace to 60 all the way
with them toward compulsory
crop control.
Whether LaGuardia was given
a big spotlight among farmers in
order to scare or punish Wallace
is only an item of suspicion here.

LOOK OUT FOR THE PIT

During the Russian revolution, we are told, more
than billion acres of land belonging to the arts
tocracy, were acquired by the peasantry.
Just how accurate that statement is we may not
say but presumably it is sufficiently accurate Tor
comment
The thought that occurs to US in this conneetioh
is that the peasants, little more than ser1s at
tached to the land, but who acquired measure OF
coveted independence in the revolution, are rlght
back again in a condition of serfdom, but even
worse than that before the revolution.
Their land has not only been taken away, but
they are herded into collective communities where
their whole lives and even their thoughts are reg-
mented and regulated. .......
Do we want to dabb1e in any of that sort of al
legged economic security?
We certainly do not.
And we should be mighty careful about playing
around the edges, or we may be pushed into the pit
before we realize what is happening.-Rock Hill
