State Finances

State Treasurer Johnson has
found competition in his efforts to
buy up North Carolina bonds with
tn States cash surplus. When he
goes into The New York market to
hunt for these securities he finds he
must bid against other states that
have come to recognize their value
and are joining in the scramble to
acquire this type of safe investment

rate.

period of years. North Carolina's
finances are in as good condition as
those Of any state and much better
off that most of them and than
the Federal government also. This
explains the scramble lor the States
securities.
1t IS a condition that justifies the
pride and satisfaction OF North Car
DINA citizens, but which can and
will continue only if the same sort
of sound management is employed IN
the future as in the past. An orgy
of reckless spending, inspired by an
abundance Of credit, could easily and
swiftly reverse the trend. That is
something that should be jealousy
guarded against.

not a single issue OF the paper has

Doing Our Part

Whatever else may be said Of the
tier of states in the South that
formed Il large part of the Confed-
eracy, they cannot be charged with
lack of patriotism to the nation IN
this hour of peril. Records show that
this area, in the past few months
since the dc1cnsc arms oI the gov
crnment have asked for recruits,
is leading the country Ill enlist
mcntS for the army. What IS
more, the story is going the rounds,
too, that men from this part OF the
country make the best soldiers and
sailors, according to some i'll high po-
sitionS of command.
But this time we arc going to let
The Greensboro News tell the story
Under the heading "On Ground
Floor" a Daily News editorial said
this:
The fourth corps military area,
composed of North and South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee.
Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida,
has been enrolling volunteers at the
rate of 1900 week as against 2OO
II 300 from the first and second corps
areas OF New England and New
York. This section Of the country,
which except for Texas, Virginia and
Arkansas is commensurate with the
late Confederate States, is not
more belllcoSe, we think, than other
parts of the country. We are glad
to note, however, that if it should
still be the nations No. l economic
problem, it is by no means the pa
trlOtiC ditto.
That is not said by way of CEN
sure of New England or New York.
The answer to why more southern
ers are ready to respond to a call
for national defense is economic and
social. The great majority OF these
boys arc from the farms. The sold
ier's wage does not daunt them; they
are less provincial than the lads
from the more congested areas and
want to go places and see things.
This would seem to be particularly
true of the mountain lads from east
ern Tennessee, where reports are at
divers hamlets in which every able
bodied boy of the proposed draft age
has entered some branch Of the mil
itary service.
Heaven forfend that any Of them
should be called upon to fire sin
gle shot in real warfare; but we are
convinced that they and the section
from which they come will take a
profit from their readiness. War is
bad business anyway one looks at it;
but, just as in other large-Scale en-
terprises, it doesn't hurt to get in
on the ground floor

Air Power Growing

At long last encouraging reports
are coming from responsible author
tiles about the quickening pace OF
American airplane production. Will
liam S. KnudSen, production chief
of the National Defense Commission,
is authority for the statement that
the present rate Of output is 900
planes per month, or nsarly 1l,O0O a
year. By the end Of 1910 the
rate of manufacture will be $4,000
a year. III
Making OF airplanes is perhaps
that field of preparedness where the
greatest speed can be attained quick
est. In that arm of the national de-
tense the training of pilots to handle
them is a far greater and much
more tedious task. A plane can be
turned out from scratch to perfec-
ton in a fraction Of the time re-
ouired to fit a man to maneuver 1t
under war conditions. And so these
two programs must go hand in hand.
President Roosevelt has said the
United States needs and ~ hHre
$4,000 airplanes; that is. ""a>"n,
we'll tipped fighters and bombers.
They anot be provided overnight
but American business genius is set
ting itself to the task of performing
miracles in speed, and, with little
tinae to get started, will surprise the
country by its achievements.
KnudSen said that in two months
contracts have been let for Sl,792,-
100000 of planes for the army and
navy. Workers in manufacturing
plants have increased by nearly fifty
per cent in about half a year, and
more will De needed.
