MRS. robson RATES WOMAN'S
PAGE STORY in S. F. DAILY

SAN FRANCISCO ~ Eslanda
Goode Robson, Paul Robeson's
equally laxative wife, was inter-
viewed by Zilfa Esteourt, of the
San Francisco Chronicle, this
week, and the story, along with
an attractive picture, carried on
the women's page of the daily.
Describing Mrs. Robson, who
is on a lecture tour, as zone of
the most vital persons l have
ever met" Miss Estcourt said
Mrs. Robson is a person who
has fully-formed conviction on
every question put to her.
Some Eslanda ideas:
I'm against movement of Ne
groes into the North. The spec
tacle of what has come from NOV
ing people around in Europe ought
TO be a lesson to us. Tire place
for people is where they are. If
conditions are bad, let's change
the conditions. The Negroes were
brought up in the South - they
should be able to stay there and
make a living. mo Negro who has
stayed in the South, Mrs. Robson

beliefs. His faith is not for the
State to dictate. 1t is between
himself and God.
His home is inviolate, protect
ed from even the State itself by
the Bill of Rights. His children,
provided they are cared for and
educated are his to guide and
cherish, not to be taken from
him, as long as he fulfills his
duty of fatherhood.
He may read what he wishes,
listen freely and speak his mind
openly and according to his con-
vietions without fear or favor of
the State. And that State will
protect him even when he speaks
in disagreement with it.
In democracy the individual
is a man, ready to stand up and
be counted as one. Under a total
itarian regime, by whatever name
It calls itself, be 1t Nazi. Fascist
or Communist, he is a slave.
Let those who wish to be free
men, therefore, consider what they
believe and let them stand up
at all times for the democracy
which, imperfect though 1t may
be, still proclaims the sanctity
of the individual and gives him
freedom to live and to pass on
greater measure of freedom to
each succeeding generation.

BY Ruth TAYLOR

A nation as well as an indiyi
dual is known by what it believes.
The beliefs of totalitarian regimes
are clear to all. They believe in
the sanctity and supremacy OF
the state and the complete sub
survience of the individual. He is
but a pawn. His work, his reli
gion, his home, his children are
directly under the control of his
master the state, and its self ap-
pointed rulers. He may read, listen
to and say only what they wish.
Even his beliefs are regulated
and regimented.
The direct antithesis of this are
the beliefs of democracy, based
as they are upon the sanctity Of
the individual. The state is but
the composite convictions of its
citizens. He is no pawn but a
free man, considered capable and
intelligent enough to govern him.

of others. His laws are the traf-

and how he will - provided that

PARKING METER
RECElP IS TOTAL
$4,543 SINCE JUNE

Marion parking meters will pay
for themselves in little more than a
year if receipts continue to mount
as they have since the beginning of
operations on June 22, according to
figures released by B. B. Byrd,
town clerk. A total of $4,543.66 has
already been collected from the
meters.
The 1873 meters now in operation
cost $9,646.18. Seventy-five per
cent of the receipts have been appli-
ed toward payment, leaving $6,581.-
AT yet to be paid. The remaining
rs per cent is used for maintenance.
For the 19 weeks since opera
ton began, the meters have had a
weekly average of 1921, and the
greatest amount received in any
one week was from September rs
to October when the change pour
ed out totaled $241.
If the meters continue with the
present weekly average for the re-
naming 81 weeks of this year, the
rs per cent to be applied on pay
ment would total $6,41O.25 toward
the balance of $6,581.47.
