ures in China belle their own pro-
LESSONS of international integrity.
They simply do not speak that
language, and promises and pledges
are rs nothing if they stand in the
way Of ambitious ggrandizement.
The interesting and serious aspect
Of the Hull warning lies in the
course this government would take
if Japan should choose to defy or
ignore the Washington admonition.
Would the United States recoil in the
face of Japanese force, as Britain
and France did when Hitler paid no
attention to them and proceeded to
gobblc up adjacent peoples and ma
tionS that he coveted? Ii Tokyo
darcs to seize the Dutch East Indies,
there would be but two choices for
the United States, namely, back
down or right. Washington is out
on 4 limb and is electing TO gamble
ON the force and power Of its own
influence with the Japs.
Be that us it may, we are roofing
ourselves more deeply into the dis
yuteS. the injuStices and the ami
mo<itics of the Far East, however
much our motives may be inspired

Glass of the First Baptist Church. We
must contact these men before Sun
dav. April II for on that day we are

New Spending Outlets

1t must be good news to the big
SpenderS that State income tax rere-
nueS have set new all-time high at
Sl1.365 1898. about l,0SG more than
the previous peak in the fiscal year
1878. The current fiscal period
has yet about two and a hall
months to go. and taxes from this
source will reach to even dizzier
heights. probably around 100000
ahead OF last year.
All indications now point to a
healthy surplus in both the general
and highway funds Of the State when
the year ends June 80. 1t may and
probably will be different story
year hence. when Stlidding business
volume is reflected in the revenues.
But. assuming that the present
revenue trends are maintained, just
wait until the new legislature ar
rives in Raleigh. You won't hear
anything about reducing taxes any
where along the line, unless it be in
the matter of automobile licenses.
All the talk will DE about how the
surplus can be spent. And that will
be easy sailing, what with all the
pressure groups that will descend
upon Raleigh with the idea OF dip
ping their greedy hands into the
bullying tilIS. There will be no con-
Germ for those who pay, but plenty
of it for those on the receiving end.
Just bear this in mind next winter
and watch how very correct these
predictions turn out to be.

augment, and not displace, current
expenditures. But not SO with the
power hungry bureaucratS in the ma
tional capital. II they pay they
must have their pound Of flesh,
namely. voice, and strong one,
in regulating and controlling educa-
ton down to the last little red
school house in the backWoods.
1t is just another example of the
slow but sure retreat from the ideal
ism of local self government. Can
didates Tor governor in the current
campaign in North Carolina are de-
crying centralized control Of schools
from Raleigh. But let them wait
until the Federal government takes
over a portion Of school support,
and they will have something sure
enough to whine about. The last
vestise of home rule will vanish,
and that right quickly, when the
Washington bureaucratS stretch their
lons. thin fingers down into the
public schools of the cities and
counties.
States rights and separation OF
church and state are reason enough
for opposing Federal aid. But what
is that by comparison with the
greed for money and power?

Grim Reaper Rides On

That old man with the long WhlSk-
crs is still riding high III North
Carolina in the matter UG highway
fatalities. Despite intensified CT
forts to persuade motorists TO use
increasing caution Tor their own
GOOD and that OF others, the appeal
has vet to attain sufficient force to
cut down greatly the number Of
deaths on Our ribbons OF concrete,
and the slaughter goes on.
In the first quarter OF 1910 high
way deaths in this State were l72,
inst four less than for the COM
narrative period last year. An M
proved record in March was rcspon-
sibIe for that slight decline in fatal
ties. Sixty counties share III the
.honor roll" OF death, and our own,
of course. had to be included in ord
er to live up to It's reputation. II
reported one. Forty counties can
hold their heads high in the pride Of
2 perfect record as to highway TRACE
dies. Granville and Warren were
in that favored group. but Franklin
took its place alongside Vance.
some wears ago when the aglta-
tors persuaded 4 reluctant legislature
to create the State Highway Patrol
glowing predictions were mace Oh
how road deaths would be cut with
this supervision OF the arteries oil
travel. Instead, however, deaths m
creased. and patrol advocates came
back and said there were too lew
policemen. and 50 the legislature
nut on more. The result was the
same and a new demand arose Tor
4 still greater number Of pafolmen.
They said there were not enough OF
them and that the increased person.
mel sought would turn the trick. But
has it? Not according to the rec
ordS.
Some people are beginning to
wonder if the highway patrol is iunc-
tioniug as its agitatorS claimed 1t
could and would. They are becOm
ing suspicious that, after all, it was
more patronage affair than 4 con-
Germ for the safety Of motorists.
At any rate, the death toll con-
tinues and the Grim Reaper rides
on. When and how he can be check
ed is still an unsolvcd problem, and
will continue to be until men and
women behind steering wheels are
willing to show more common sense
in their driving.

Reasons Enough

An official OF the National EGuca-
ton Association, speaking to the
convention OF the State Congress
and Parents and Teachers at High
Point Thursday, renewed the agita-
ton for Federal aid to education.
1t appears that Uncle Sans money
is wanted and that there are those
who are determined to get it, no
matter what the cost.
II objections 10 government aid
are, as he said, the old issue Of
states rights and separation OF
church and state, what better Objec-
tons could there be? The thirst for
more money to spend has grown I'M
til today it Surmounts these ancient
pillars OF freedom. The speaker did
not say he would be willing to sur
render these cherished principles
of democracy for the mess of pottage
of Federal funds, but the inference
is plain.
Basic differences separate friend
and foe OF this proposition. The
former group contends it is as much
the duty of the national government
to finance education OF the youth Of
the land as it is of the states; the
latter disputes the theory. If both
are determined TO persist in their
view, the issue resolves Itself il to a
matter of agitation to the point
where one side or the other is beat
en- down. Unfortunately, as in so
many other fields, those on the side
of states rights and of separation of
church and state are not as militant,
and because Of that they stand a
first class chance OF losing the argu-
ment.
Pressure groups, if persistent
enough, usually prevail with legis-
latorS, whether national or state, re-
CARELESS of the justice or injustice of
their cause. That may be the ulli-
mate outcome of the demand TO.
Federal aid to education.
If it be the duty OF the Federal
government to provide an educa
ton to all children, just let it pay its
part to the states on whatever basis
of distribution may be considered
desirable, with no strings attached
other than that states shall not re-
duce their own appropriations, 81
