FAKE FLOOD CONTROL.

A while ago the Washington Times Herald edi-
tora certain lessons that have been learned from the
latest Missouri River floods In the of it, the paper
made this sound observation: Some hundreds of millions
of dollars have already been spent dams the upper
Missouri which supposed to control floods. These
dams exposed the fakes that they Their
promoters the Army engineers and the Bureau of Re-
camation The engineers interested only spending
1ica pork The Bureau of Reclamation wants to charge
off much expense possible to flood control in order
to present false picture of cheap electricity in its socia
lized power program"
The country finally to be awakening to the fact
that the governments alleged food control program is
bill of goods In the first place flood control dams and
dams horses of entirely different coors The first must
empty when the floods it is fulfill it's purpose
the second must be full to turn the powerproducng
chinery Secondly has been conclusively demonstrated
time and time again that real food control best be
achieved by series of relatively cheap small dams and
reservoirs along with proper soil conservation
The TmesHerad hit the nail the head when is said
that our phony and enormously expensive flood control &C
Invites primarily designed advance the socialized cleo
city campaign to hide the true costs from the peo
pie This indefinite deceponof the kind the social
lists pursue every possible
it must be exposed for the cheap fraud it is.

ILLEGAL DRIVERS
washington Daily News)

We are happy to see the local
Recorders Court in Beaufort
County cracking down on drivers
who continue to operate vehicles
after their licenses have been re-
voked.
Some of these drivers, it seems,
will never learn a lesson. One de-
PENDANT recently was caught for
the third time driving after a Ii
cense revocation. 1t stands to rea-
son that if he had not violated the
rules of highway conduct, he would
not have lost his licenses. In los
ing his license he lost the privilege
to drive on the highways.
A man doesn't lose his licenses
to drive unless there is reason to
believe that he is not safe man to
place under an automobile wheel
on the highways. Then if a man
chooses to ignore the mandate of
the law and take the law and safe
ty of himself and his fellow man in
his own hands, then that very law
which he has Haunted should act
swiftly and surely.
We are having too many acct
dents and too much killing on our
highways. We are witnessing I'M
told slaughter every week right
in North Carolina. A great deal
of the responsibility for curbing
these unsafe practices rests with
the courts of our state. If the
courts look upon driving without
a license and driving after licenses
have been revoked with one eye
shut, then we shall continue to
have a reign of highway terror.

Enclosed please find 80 cents,

SAID THE PRESIDENT
Denver, Colorado, Post)

Observation-Disclosures a
group of men just returned from
the battlefront, the president said:
II am greatly obliged to you and
to all who have come forward at
the call of their country. I wish
it might be more generally and
universally understood what the
country is now engaged in.
1--WE have, as all will agree,
a free government where every
man has a right to be equal with
every other man. In this great
struggle, this form of government
and every form of human right is
endangered, if our enemies sue
coed.
"There is more involved in this
contest than is realized by every
one. There is involved in this
struggle the question whether
your children and my children
shall enjoy the privileges we have
enjoyed. ] say this in order to
impress upon you, if you are moi
already so impressed, that nc
small purpose should divert us
from our great purpose.
"There may be some Unequal
tiles in the practical application
Of our system. There may. be mis-.
takes made sometimes, things may
be done wrong, while the officers
of the government do all they car
to prevent mistakes. But ] beg
Of you, as citizens of this great
republic, not to let your minds be
carried off from the great work

cANNIBAL TAXES.

Regardless of the political promises We hearing
these days. may be necessary for Uncle Sam to
uce taxes in order to increase the Federal income.
That's right! That law of diminishing returns is finally
here and really works. The liquor industry is todays
prize example for in the first five months after Congress
added $50 per gallon to the excise tax last NoVem
ber the Government has collected not more but nearly
176 million dollars less!
This might mean, of course that less liquor is being
consumed but according Arthur D. Schultz president
of Park Tiford this is not the case instead,
that the of supply is shifting from the legal dser
to the moonshner and the bootgger and that taxation
which gives these criminals margin of $3.50 gallon
legal liquor, is bringing back the wellremembered
evils of prohibition
Within the past year. says Mr.. Schultz, the Govern
has raded moonshine stills with greater total
pacty than the entire legal dslng industry And they
not all in the hills either of the largest being
turned such urban New York Boston Detroit
Philadelphia, ST. Louis, Atlanta Miami Nashville, Rich
mond and Rochester, N. Y.
Serious this problem is with its horrfying promise
of wholesale blindness and sudden DEATH of gang
sterism and crime-wave the wider implications of
Government that has begun to devour itself more
terrifying Such unrealistic tax policy only result
in the collapse of Government itself after has destroy
ed the means of recovery.

De used to prevent the extension of citi.
zenship rights to one group of our Cit;
zens, although 1.-THE extension Of those
citizenship rights was being sought thru
legal and peaceful means.
Since that highly dramatic action or
the part of the klansmen, high State Of
ficials in South Carolina, Georgia and
Virginia have publicly stated that they
VIII defy any decision of the Supreme
Court outlawing segregation.
The wise and the tolerant felt pity for
stupidity of the night riders and bed sheet
boys and were inclined to smile their
threats away. But it is not a laughing
matter when high State officials declare
their intentions to defy the highest law in
our land
If Governors and Attorney Generals
can defy Supreme Court decisions, surely
a motorist can feel justified in ignoring a
parking ticket and our entire legal syster,
will eventually breakdown.
Brazen threats to disregard laws may
sound brave when they are made from
a platform in ladies' club, but i'm the
final analysis, such utterances are nothing
more than invitations to anarchy and
should be resented, and quickly, by an
enlightened public.
A deeply rooted respect for law assures
government capable of maintaining or
der. A deeply rooted disrespect for law
guarantees confusion and disorder. This
is a fundamental truth regardless of per-
sonal sentiments about segregation or
any other issue.

a distance he heard the voices of
carolers and, upstairs. the waver-
ing notes of the rented trombone.
That Paris!
EVEN AS STEVE swung up the
stairs, to the attic, he heard
the sureness in the music. At first
Paris had practiced i'm the attic
by request, but Steve had to hand
1t to him. He had worked hard:
two-three hours a day until he
could really play. Looking in on
him now, Steve saw that the
rented instrument cleaned.
"You love to play. don't your"
Steve asked.
A smile the like of which Steve
had never seen before crossed his
sons face. Then, shyly, Mr.. Bax.
ter wants me to play in the school
band"
1t was hard to keep his pride
from showing, but Steve only said
heartily. That's fine, Paris" be-
fore sending him back to bed.
Steve went downstairs. search
ing under the tree until he found
young Steyie's electric train. The
box was heavy in his hands as he
considered Toys didn't matter too
much TO Stevie-he liked active
things, in which a father could
share.
When Steve came back in from
the car, he felt like Santa Claus
as he put the shiny leather case
that was long and sort of curved
under the tree. A trombone for
Paris.
