NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
COURT CONTROL

The recent effort of the Washington administra
+;on TO gain control of the United States supreme
court has suggested to some thinking mem there the
desirabty of making the judicial department. OF
the government still further independent of the
executive.
Under the present law, the supreme court is to g
certain extent dependent upon the executive fol
the funds necessary to carry on.
All federal courts must submit their budgets to
the DEPARTMENT of Justice, where they are passed
upon by the attorney general, cabinet officer APP
pointed by the, President
This NAV not give the executive any actual con-
troll over the court but at least it is a club. The
court can appeal to congress for more funds only
with the Presidents consent
The proposition now comes out of Washington
and it NAV get before congress in the coming SEES
sion-to make the federal courts financially indie
nandent of the executive branch, and accountable
only to congress- by authorizing the chief justice

directly to congress. o..
The theory under which the three arms OF the
American government is set up is that the legsla-
tive. executive and judicial departments are dis
tinct independent and equal in authority in their
separate provinces.
The recent bitter battle in Washington, TO keep
the supreme court out from under the thumb of
the chief executive suggests that it may some time
become essential to still further protect that court
from any possible financial restriction from that

request the agent took his notifi-

nit the question to arbitration.
The deacon agreed. He chose a

agreed unanimously that the dea-
con should pay the demurrage.
But the deacon after hearing the
verdict vowed that he would not
pay the demurrage, no matter
what the arbitration committee
said. In other words, the deacon
didn't care about the right or the
wrong of the matter; what he
wanted was to get out of paying
the ten dollars.

A CHANGE IN SENTIMENT

Farmers of North Carolina last Saturday dis
PLAYED change of sentiment with respect to crop
control. .. 3d.. Aa--..
So far as the voters of this state were concerned
they failed to east vote in favor of con-
troll of either cotton or tobacco, And yet, ten
months ago, both of these proposals carried by an
overwhelming majority
We don't know what effect the abandonment OF
tobacco control is going to have upon prices. New
tretheless we are glad that Saturdays vote turned
out as it did You've heard the old saying about
selling ones brthrght for mess OF pottage.
You've also heard that it does not profit man II
he gains the entire world and, in the process of
doing so, loses his own soul. I'D. ....
We feel that it is exactly the same with respect
to this business of crop control. An American cti-
zen's Individual rights should come first, last and
all the time Regardless of what he may gain tinan-
cially, he is bound to be the loser every time ne
surrenders one of these rights.
We are glad to see that the farmers are begin
ming to realize this fact, and We attribute to this
realization the change in sentiment that was mani
tested in last Saturdays Voting-State Magazine

THE years 1925 to 1929 are gen,
4 orally regarded as years o.
amazing and rising prosperity
The years 1888 to 1888 are usually
looked upon as years of great de.
preston. 49,.
In spite of this the following
singular fact is worth recording
From 1925 to 1929 inclusive bank
deposits in the United States in

billion dollars.
From 1888 to 1888 bank deposits
Increased from 81 billion to So bill
lion. That was an increase of is
billion. Both represent enormous
increases.
The question is, how did bank
deposits rise so mightilv in these
depression years? And ,,ny were
we prosperous under one great
deposit rise and continuously in
depression under another?
The answer is that as bank de-
posits rose in the banks of Amer
lea IN 1925 to 1929 the accumula-
tons OF depositors were PROMPTLY
poured into business through new
Investments, ,nve But from 1888 to

way into new investments. ;.

! create deposits at the banks, these
deposits would begin to flow out
into business. The first proponents
of this theory believed that a few
hundred million dollars would do
the job. That was called printing
the pump.
Since then not a few hundred
millions, but staggering number
of billions have been poured into
the banks through government
loans. But they have failed to
flow out. Why?
The pipe line along which saw
ings flow from the savings reser-
voir of the country into new in
dustry is called investment. What
has happened to that pipe line?
Why do savings refuse to flow
through it into industry? What
force along the way is causing the
trouble? -. 1'--G-
have one suggestion. The old
pipe line, the financial system
once used, was a bad one. 1t
needed repairing. Too much of
the savings sent through it never
reached new industry, but leaked
off into the hands of promoters
and other parasites along the way.
1t was necessary to rebuild that
pipe line. But it was of the most
imperious Importance that it
should be rebuilt quickly.
Instead the rebuilding of it has
been going on since 1888. 1t has
been cluttered up with the work.
men, the machinery used for re-
building it. The job has been
dragged out. [, .-- ..,.
A wise administrator would have
seen the need for tackling this job
first thing in 1888 and getting it
done within a year or two and
then throwing the pipe line open
for public traffic. That pipe line
is public highway. You cannot
expect traffic to flow along a pub
lie highway which is perpetually
under repair. That is one of the
reasons for the lack of traffic along
that line. 81. -

PULLING THE WOOL OVER OUR OWN EYES

One reason it is increasingly difficult everywhere
to keep taxes down is because taxes are hidden.
The people who pay them have the wool pulled
over their eyes.
They pay, and don't suspect it.
But they do pay!
If ali taxes had to be paid directly, and there
was no such thing as indirect tax, the government
of this country would not be costing anything like
the billions now being spent for public services.
And for the reason that the enormity Of the tax
bill would produce general objection to waste and
to the extension of political power into so many
fields where the individual formerly functoed on
an individual basis and under his own power
But so long as the case is as it is now, and the
taxes which most of US pay for governmental up
keep are hidden from US, simply keep on fool
ishy taing it for granted that few who pay the
income taxes, the inheritance taxes, the business
taxes, are footing the whole political bill.
What fallacy and delusion!
Actually whether he earns 81, 900 or 500 900 q
year, he pays the same taxes on package of ciga-
rettes or gallon of gas, to take only two common
place examples. 49, 49,.
We are all consumers and in the final analysis,
all consumers pay taxes.
According to the National Consumers Tax Com
mission, 63 per cent of the IA billion dollars paid
in taxes last year were indirect taxes-hidden taxes
hidden from the consumers who paid them.-
