Maxwell's Latest

Always alert to seize upon any
possible opportunity to unearth new
sources of revenue tor the State, MI.
Maxwell, The energetic revenue cOlll-
missioner, has hit upon a scheme to
apply the les odx % every n4ckcl S
worth OF candy, or every handkc--
chief a citlzen may buy across the
line, and to impose punitive measu- es
upon those who voluntarily or other
wise fai. to give an accounting Of
such woulooe liabilities.
Already and sill a distinct sore
spot with many people, this measure,
if it gets by une legislature, VIII
r1ake the salts tx even more un-
popular. The strange thing about
it is that Mr.. M xwell is asking for
a singing penalty for those who
fail to comply and at the same time
saying such a penalty will not be
invoked. If that be true, why would
the penalty be made available?
Fines and punishments are not at
tached to laws mere for the fun
of it. They are provided in order
that they may be resor.ed to if en-
forcement officers wish to apply
them. One wonders how it would be
possible to square a plea of good
faith in such circumstances. Mr..
MAXWELL may find it difficult to
ctrnYince a public already disgrunt-
led over the sales tax that he Is
writing another useless stltute.
That public knows quite we enough
what happens when the revenue de-
partment sets out to collect money
the legislature authorizes.
Mr.. Maxwell is generally under
stood to be electioneering for the CUB
ernatorial nomination next year. If
he can impose the project he is now
insisting on, when he is only the
States revenue commissioner, what
wouldn't he do as governor, with all
the power and prestige that goes
with that high office?
OH for a legislature that would
have the courage to say no to these
never-ending exactions upon the
tglrnings of the individual and to tel
spending officials of the State where
to head in.

Has He Changed?

Secretary OF Commerce Harry
Hopkins was quick and emphatic in
his assertions before the Senate
Commerce Committee that he made
mistakes in administering WPA re-
lief. He admits he should not have
peen so free III MS expressions of
preference for administration can
didates for office in last summers
primaries, that he should have fired
some of his underlings in some
states because of their DO itical acti-
vities, and that he should have done
some other things he did not do.
Mr. Hopkins was testifying in his
own defense as the Presidents noni-
nee for cabinet office But he did
not let the public in on his professed
change of heart and his admission of
mistakes when that information
might have counted for something
against his candidates. He said moth
ing until he was caAed to the mat
to explain these things as a candi-
date for a cabinet job.
His tardiness in experiencing a
change of heart, if he has, is not
overly convincing. Perhaps Mi
Hopkins thinks it is well when in
Rome to do and think as Rome does.

Send The Band

Now that an official invitation has
come to the Henderson high school
band to attend the New York World S
Fair and have part in the cere-
monies on North Carolina Day, June
19, the citizens of the community
should put their heads together in
ar effort to see that these young mu-
sicians can accept the bid.
The band has made marvellous
strides under able direction and
training in the past year or so. Prom
inent and deserved recognition has
come to the band within the space
of a year, and wherever it has ap-
peared it has done credit to itself.
its leader and the community it rep
resents. 1t would do so at the
Worlds Fair, which would be its
crowning achievement in attracting
outside attention.
Quite probably the New York ex-
position will be the greatest of the
kind ever held in any country at any
time. 1t will be an education TO
every person, both old and young,
who attends. 1t would be doubly SO
for these young people, all in the
most impressionab years of their
lives. However long they might live,
a visit to this Worlds Fair would for-
ever stand out in their memories as
one of the high spots of lifetime.
Many, perhaps most, of the boys
and the few girls in the band will
&c taken to the fair at one time or
another by their parents. To get
them there on North Carolina Day
would not be problem. But there
are some who would not be financi-
al y able to make the trip without
assistance. There is where COM
n,unity support and backing must
nc PROVIDED.
Those who have seen and heard
the band on different occasions have
nc misgivings as to the creditable
account it will give of itself Those
Immediately responsible for its per-
formance will see to that
Investigations will be made immc-
dately, we understand, as to trans
'portation facilities, lodging and
rlea enroute and while at the fair.
That is the first and right now the
most essential move. The matter
CT chaperones could come along
later. Costs of the trip must be de-
termined in advance and as soon as
possible, so that wh hatever is going
tc be done can be undertaken with
out delay.
Just what the band will be suppos-
ed to do when it gets there will be
determined by those in charge of the
North Carolina Day program. That
is not a primary concern here now.
The important and urgent matter
is for Henderson to decide if it
