cial aid to continue is not an indie
pendent voter. He is a dependent
voter and certainly is not uninfluen-
,ced by money or other material aid.
The limitations of human nature are
such that few, very, very, few in
dividualS who are poor in this
worlds goods can be counted on to
vote against their own welfare, how
ever important the larger issues of
1.-The election may be.
Before 1882 we never had the
problem of dependent voters in a
national election. No such bold
widespread movement to pervert
regrade and corrupt the ballot was
ever known before in human history
as the ballot corrupting movement
created and promoted by the New
Deal. BY virtue of this movement
the dependent voters hold the bal
arce of power in the nation. If the
movement continues to grow, in a
very short while we will have a gov
eminent of dependents, for depend
ents and by dependents. 1t will be
hte first dependentocracy known to
history.
In estimating the number of the
dependent voters. the families and
relatives of the dependent who are
financially interested in his income
must be taken into consideration
The voting strength of the depen-
dent roupS is estimated as follows
WPA 100000 voters
The Relief Group 100000 voters
Farmers 100000 voters
Millions of votesr are indirectly
made dependent voters by the New
Deal policy of erecting costly school
buildings, building roads and max
ing other large expenditures in thou
sands of communities throuhout the
country. This policy relieves the mil
lions of taxpayers in these commun-
tiles from paying for their own i'm
provementS, and hence makes them
dependents. They will be slow to
vote against the administration OF
their great benefactor.
The President announced some
time ago that there are 40 million
people in this country who are ILL
fed, ill-clothed, and ill-housed. How
many of the 40 million will vote
against the administration to which
they are looking to give them a
great abundance of food and cloth
ing and housing conviences without
money and without price? In a re-
cent campaign speech the President
announced the objective of putting
all the men and women in this
country on pensions after they reach
certain age. There are % million
voters in this country over As years
old. How many of the 28'mililon will
vote against the administration OF
this great Humanitarian
Once a dependent always de-
pendent is rule with few eXcep-
lions. A nation OF dependents Is a
nation of moral weaklings that will
go down with the first storm that
hits them.

found him in Hachita, New Mex
leo, waiting for the little side-trip
train that would take him to the
quaint village OF Pueblo and its
Dude College," BY 1 p. m he
was on the college campus itself.
From the moment he got. to
Pueblo he was alert for the man
walking with crutch. OF course,
chance might dictate more than
one man on crtuch, but the ring
would pave the way toward iden-
LITIGATION. Andre knew. He was
in no great hurry.
He even thought of hiring or
purchasing a car to drive out to

Ronica herself. But he had been
reprimanded for putting personal
tastes first: SO, better he form his

cattleman and his wife had en-

Andre liked the beautiful Span

lative too, and he walked down an
avenue of trees toward the admin
istration building.
He was admiring the nude statue
of an India maiden in a fountain
under the buildings main arch
when a long whispering sedan drew
Iup. At the same moment a be-
specialized man stepped out of the
building, carrying three books and a
brief case, but Andre turned idly to
look at the car.
"Mmmmmm!I Andre murmuree
appreciatively. to himself.
Through the sedan window he
saw the face of girl, Spanish OF

small, and reasonably young, but
so very sure of herself as to be a

ection, but to secure a legitimate
election.
The right of suffrage is not a
natural right; it is a privilege con-
ferred on individuals who can meet
the essentials conditions of suffrage.
One of the essential conditions of
suffrage is that the voter cannot
accept any reward for voting a Ger
tain way. The acceptance of such
reward is made a crime because
it is a gross perversion of the suf-
frage privilege and absolutely is
qualities the voter to hold the priv
ilege.
Anyone who accepts or seeks ,spe-
cial material aid from the govern

government. The acceptance of spe-
cial material aid makes him a ward
of the government. Such acceptance
destroys his equality of status, his
independence, his sovereignty as a
citizen and these are the essentials
of American citizenship. Any citizen

From Other Angles
OUR RESERVOIR OF GOLD
Charlotte Observer

Uncle Sam has now $751; 5000 0 900 of the sold
of the world in his safe keeping and if he is
Dragging about it, it is with tongue In cheek.
Truth is that his monetary experts and eco
mists in general are more worried than pleased
with the situation.
The vast mountain of it lies buried in a
Kentucky hole, for safety purposes, which is
one of the more aggravating phases of the
problem-its utter idleness.
The peak of the influx of gold into the paws
of the federal exchequer was reached within a
few days Of the anniversary of the establish.
ment by the United States of $35 per ounce as
the price for gold and the devaluation of the
dollar to $500 per cent of it's former gold value
The United States is continuing to purchase
gold at $35 per ounce and that policy has al
most stripped other nations of gold bullion even
though it has stimulated gold production
throughout the world.
Gold mines everywhere are striving to pro.
duce all they can with the assured market OF
S35 an ounce in the United States.
But accumulation Of this amount of gold has
created a problem that troubles the federal re
serve board and that economists and monetary
experts of all sorts have not solved.
A recent pamphlet issued by the federal re
serve board has this statement: "The potential
lending power derived by banks from receipts
of this gold creates an unprecedented problem
Of control because the unused reserves of the
banks are much greater than can be absorbed
by the federal reserve authorities under pres.
ent powers"
Treasury experts are trying to find ways to
put excess gold to use.
1t is impossible now to lend it to the nations
that are most DESTROYS of borrowing it for two
United States statutes stand in the way OF
such loans.
The Johnson act forbids Americans to lend
any money to governments that are in default
in their debts to the United States and, in ad
dition to that, the neutrality act forbids
loans to any country which is at war.
A still more pulling problem which the ex
perts are trying to solve is the future of golG
in the world. What is going to happen after
the present hostilities come to an end?
We shall doubtless have at that time an ever
gold. eve have more than 60 per cent of the
worlds gold now.) Gold has been the tradition
al standard of payment of international bal
ances. There are some who are worrying lest
gold should be demonetized entirely, though tt
many of the experts this seems a thing in
credible.
In 1929 the American stock of gold was 1879,
900, 900 ounces while the rest of the world had
80, coo, 900 ounces.
Now the United States has 512 600, 900 ounces
and the rest of the world 1926, 900, 900 ounces
gold or gold certificates.
What would happen to business If the SIS,
900, 900, 900 worth of gold were put into circu.
lation?
Nobody has answered that question.

MAKE JAYWALKING COSTLY

Police have warned jaywalkers to mend
their ways. If they don't, harsh means may be
used to stop the habit.
Jaywalking and signal crashing at inter-
sections are violations of the law, which the
police are here to maintain.
Sensible persons will readily realize that
the odds are with the police. The thoughtless
deserve any measures the police use, within
their rights, to restrain them.
Persons who cross streets on the red signal
or between intersections imperil not only
their own lives but the lives of others. They
create definite hazards. Self preservation
dictates carefulness in traffic, by pedestrians
as well as drivers.
What the police will do to the law-breakers
is not yet clear. But if their warning is not
needed they would be justified in adopting
the plan which has brought excellent results
in Richmond.
There the jaywalkers and signal crashers
were given tickets just like drivers and mark.
ers who did not observe the law. They were
required to appear in court, answer the
charge, and pay a fine.
For first offenders the fine was one dollar
In most cases this was enough. Many were
not guilty a second time. For second of.
tenders the fine was increased.
Richmond now boasts that if has M law
walkers or signal crashers. AS humanity is
much the same the world over, Wilmington
might expect to do as well nv tho sano
means.
