slashed some thousands of dollars
from the list yesterday, but, thank
full though tax-burdened people may
be for that, it is mere pocket change.
Much more than that may. and we
hope will, be cut before the spending
iii is given final approval.
Sooner or later, and it ought to- be
sooner, this business Of cutting ex-
penses must be attacked with q ven
geance. Unless it is, the people
ought simply to rise up in revolt and
demand in voice that cannot be
mistaken that halt must be called
somewhere, sometime. There must
be relief from this trend Of taxing
and taxing and spending and spend
ing. Otherwise, the office-holders
may wake up some fine morning to
find the people are not going to con-
tinue electing and electing.

State Spending

Unless State spending is to be re-
duced to the point where less reve-
nue. will be necessary, there is not
much to be gained by legislators
racking their brains to revise tax
schedules. They might as well let
the present set-up remain undisturb-
ed.
The alarming aspect of the whole
system of operating North Carolina's
government is that every General AS
sembly is called upon for more and
more money. There seems to be a
feeling on the part of departments
and bureaus that they are expected
always to ask for increases. Not
having ever been in the position of
shouldering the responsibility of
running any part of the States af-
fairs, we could not be expected to
know, but it would seem, in general,
that if department could operate
enc biennium on certain amount of
money without public functions be-
ing embarrassed, it could continue to
do so the year following, barring
emergencies.
Too little consideration is given to
the fact that the people who are tax
ed to support the State are not fortu-
nate enough to have their business
volume expanded and their salaries
raised every year to permit of their
paying larger taxes. State spenders
seem unable to get that through their
heads, though most of them must
know that they are earning more
money individually on the public pay
roll than they could in private bust
ness, else they would not stay where
they are. Once they land a seat at
the pie counter, they appear no long
err to be seriously concerned over
what happens to the rest of us, so
long as they can make us shell out at
their command.
1t is refreshing on the one hand to
see start, modest though it be, made
at whiting down budget requests,
and disheartening on the other to
find a group of legislators searching
the State over for some new source
on which to lay the heavy hand of
taxation.

that all who run may read.
Flushed with the victories of the
past six years of Nazi control, and
the GROWING achievements of the
Austrian and Czechoslovak grabs in
more recent months, Hitler is con-
WINGED that his word in particular,
and that also of Italy's II Duce, is
law in Europe, And his idea in that
regard is as much fact as it is ego

day. When Hitler says Germany
Graves peace, he means peace on Hit
ler's terms. How well that was dem
onstrated at Munich last September
a.! the world remembers wildly. He
spurned war then because, and only
because, he got what he wanted with
out it. Had his demands been refus-
ed by Chamberlain and Daladier,
Europe would again be drenched in
blood today.
And when Hitler says he is for
peace now, he means peace by the
bloodless acquisition of European and
colonial territories he and Mussolini
have decreed for themselves. Hitler's
word today is no more to be accepted
in good faith than was that of the
kaiser in 1914 and in the four tragic
years that followed.
The old game of diplomatic bluff
is still being played by the rulers Of
Europe. 1t is a question of which
side can make the best job of soaring
the other off. And those countries
best prepared to back up their warn
ings and threats will likely be the
more successful in having their way.
AS dep.orable as it is, the plain
fact remains, if indeed it is not clear
er than ever, that there is little. like
lihood or hope of hating the crush
ing and ruinous armament race. Hit
Ter said nothing in his Reichstag
speech Monday to justify Britain and
France, and even the United States,
in slowing down their preparedness
programs. They know now that they
must go on. The word of one man
possibly two-makes any other course
perilous, if not suicidal.

every individual with whom we con-
tact, and the same situation would
prevail. Furthermore, the buying
power of the million dollars would
shrink to very small sum. It would
be difficult to buy services of any
kind. ".
But I am an ardent believer in di-
viding the opportunities among our
people everywhere to acquire the
riches of life. The millions of peo-
pie on relief and on WPA jobs are
evidence of gross mismanagement by
this administration, and notwith-
standing this heartrending situation,
the wealth in this country is divided
to a far greater extent than it is any
where else in the world.
Some time ago Socialistic orators
were telling us a very small percent
age of the people owned all the
wealth-some said per cent, others
per cent A high official recent
ly stated that sixty families con-
trolled the wealth Of this country.
But definite statistics taken from
corporations, insurance companies,
mortgage records, etc., prove that
IS per cent of the people of this
country own 80 per cent of the
wealth, and per cent of the peo-
pie own the. remaining 20 per cent.
And it is well to recognize the fact
that great wealth in this country
was created by men who rose from
the bottom /. the lowly workers
I. men who had the intelligence
and genius to recognize opportuni-
ties and grasp them with determine
ton and intelligence.
The rugged individualism that
Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln,
Teddy Roosevelt, and many of our
great business leaders represented
has been scoffed at by some of our
present officials, but the wealth that
is now being handed out so prodigal-
~ in Washington has been made pos
sible by the very elemental charac-
tcristics they condemn. =

Not Surprising

There was little of surprise in the
Supreme Courts decisions yesterday
holding constitutional the tobacco
grading act and the governments gi-
gantic IVA power program. Both
are creations of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, and as such naturally
were given the approval of jurists
sympathetic to that school Of thought.
The tobacco litigation was weak
in its inception. To say that the act
is unconstitutional because tobacco
sold on auction floors is not at the
time in interstate commerce, and
therefore beyond the pale of federal
regulation, as a bit far-fetched. If
one chooses to embrace the conten-
ton that the government simply
should not go so far as to interfere
in local sales of raw leaf, that is a
matter of opinion. It is form of
federal meddling, and such procedure,
per Sc, is offensive to many people.
But if the government can legally
. step in to specify wages and hours in
an industry because a plant buys raw
materials in another state than
where it is located it has the right
to have tobacco graded at its own
expense on warehouse floors if the
sellers of that tobacco-the farmers
desire it.
AS for the IVA, the court again
fsidestepped the constitutionality of
the act itself. 1t is not the first time,
and may not be the last, when the
court has ruled on some phase of the
vast power program. But in every in
stance where IVA operations have
been questioned the government has
won. And the decision has been CIV
en- by jurists never so overwhelming
ly liberal, as body, as now. The
liberal majority will be even greater
if and when any future tests of the
act may be brought.
Whatever merit or lack of it there
may be in the contention of the pow
err companies, there is little prospect
Of victory for them in the courts.
That has been conclusively demon
strated. Their hope, if they have any,
lies in legislation. And that is just
as barren in promise at the present
time. From here on, they may as
we'll prepare to make the best of
what for them is a bad situation.

WHY NOT DIVIDE THE
WEALTH
BENARR MacFADDEN

Yes, 1 believe In dividing the
wealth. I believe that every indi-
vidual should have q share of the
good things that the majority of our
citizens are enjoying at this time, but
do not believe in charity or in en-
couraging handouts except in ex-
IRENE emergencies.
However, 1 do believe in feeding
the hungry, but 1 do not think it
it should be done wastefully. They
should he fed scientifically, with a
view of getting the highest degree of
health and strength. with the
idea of developing outstanding,
splendid specimens of manhood, fine,
well-set-up representatives of woman
kind. .s..-~
And I do not believe in catering to
flnciful or abnormal appetites.
I will have to admit that do not
believe that fasting for a day or two
ever hurt anybody. The mental eff
fccts of an enforced fast are more
harmful than the abstinence from
food in fact, some of the So
called foods that we consume are so
lacking in nourishment that one
might just as well fast.
1 have taken fasts of various
lengths personally, and have recon-
raended them to thousands of peo-
pie as a health4building measure, with,
beneficial results in practically every
case.
But I must emphatically maintain
that do not believe our people
should suffer for lack of the require
ments needed to supply the COM
forts of life.
And it should be remembered that
wealth does not always mean dollars
and cents, bonds and mortgages.
There is wealth in the form of good
health. Wealth in peace of mind.
Wealth in sincere friendship. Wealth
in the loved ones in home life. There
is wealth in the knowledge necessary
to carve out a successful career.
And wealth that cannot be counted
in dollars and cents can hardly be
divided as you would several thou
send one-dollar bills. That kind of
wealth is acquired only when we
take advantage of opportunities, and
one must have the energy and inteili-
gence to recognize and grasp these
advantages wherever they appear.
We often hear at this time of the
ACCESSIBILITY of dividing the wealth.
Suppose, for example, the country's
wealth should be divided and that it
were enough to give every citizen a
million dollars. Just what would
happen? The next morning you
might call your grocer or butcher for
something to eat. But the telephone
operator would probably he missing.
Why should she work? She would
have a million dollars. The grocer
would have closed his shop. Why
should he bother with selling grocer
les? He would have q million dollars.
We could go down the line with
