Friday, April 17, 1936 SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT Kvery now and then former Senator Coleman Livingston Mease of Colutnt>la, is moved to put his thoughts on paper and pass them on (o hi , friend# No. flftl everybody agrees with him; hut what he anya 1h usually provocative of thought by people who do not agree with him. Here'* something Mr. Mease hun aent Views and Interviews Agree with him or not. perhaps you will do Home thinking. He writes as follows: "Ood Is a much bettVr and a more just judge than man. and when he gave the people abundant crops and plenty to do them for yearn and plenty of hog meat and other foods to supply them. It seems to mo that it is very foolish for man to destroy those, things. I so thought whoji it was he. ing done and denounced it. I am now a stronger believer in my .position than I was then "Ood gave the farmers wonderful crops. They wore ordered, so said, by this government to plow "tip the cotton, burn the corn, destroy the wheat, and kill the pigs. We had many persons who wore hungry and In need. Home right here In Columbia, that the government could have given this food, to. at least without destroying It as was done. Was It a wise thing to do? "I now hear some people complaining very hrtterly of the rains and storms If there should he a shortage, if there should he a famine as In the older days, whose fault would it he? Those to whom God gave and they destroyed it? I should Hay, yes. "That Is one part of the New Deal which I have severely condemned as well as other parts. Is a government that orders those things done and are the people who do It a really Christian government and Christian people, or have they a mixture In them of socialism, atheism, and a largo quantity of egotism? Has this country forgotten God? I say many of them, have1 and until the United States government and till of the state governments, realize it and get hack nearer to him. they must blame themselves and not him for . dlrfhrbeil ieiire to his,Jaw, and the lights which God gave to man to do as he pleases with his own so long as he phases, without Interference from tiir- government, unless lie tiegins to injure someone else, then he ,-d'oiild he restrained. Hack to the const it tit ion and buck to God is America's only hope" Yerkvllle Knqulrer. THE LAST OF HAUPTMANN Probably the most notorious criminal ease in the history of this country reai bed its fateful end last Friday night Millions of lines have been printed about it, and millions of dollars spent. Is there any loophole of suspicion that it was a frightful miscarriage of Justice? It was a dastardly crime of the most sordid details I hose w ho have followed its slimy course, sufficiently intelligent to comprehend the evidence, though circumstantial, can hardly escape the convlcitlon that Hauptinann was guilty, and should, of course, have been e|?-<-. t rocuted Governor Hoffman's attitude was mysterious, but not without precedent It is to be hoped that he was honest and ? lean, and pocketed n<> part of the millions that were scattered around It is conceivable that lie was one of those weak and tender hearted governors, unable to withstand the appeals for mercy towards nminals of itilluctue and a huge wad ot money to tight the law. It was II .nipt matin s misfortune that his case was not in a state where the fate of He- mo.-d hardened criminal is not in the hands of a governor with the I'ow.-r to pardon or communte the sentence I.et us all rejoice that the tunny is over We have been surteited for months and even years with very detail. The death trap lias got ten its meat and the ghastly taking tiff of the Lindbergh baby lias been avenged. We can only hope that Hruno Hauptinann was able to make the lest peai e possible with his God for the crime, it was not surprising that tie made no confession It i> wt-li for ins ehilil to i. el in the future that the lather was the victim of persecution and injustice. It is equally well to remember the iuuoci nt baby whose life whs brutally taken a? t result of th.- baibaroiis mania '.-r d'"<\ nam "> ' a Ileum limes SPENDTHRIFT LEGISLATION DANGEROUS Commenting <>n tho drive t?v take corporate reserves through taxation, thereby dissipating Having* laid usido for a raln> day, the Clarksburg, W. Va.. Kxpnncut says: '\\ iiM it written In the old copy hooka by mistake where it aald: Save a little for a rainy day.' "Is there something newfangled in tbe air that ought to lead Us to erase the old maxima? "We JitHt wort of wonder in a home- j ly way, up we contemplate the auggeatlon that 33 1-3 per cent of undla< tribuhed. corporate income be taken tor Federal taxes, whether the Idea | drummed into uh since childhood about Having doesn't work nowadays. " ' I 'ndistribated corporate Income Hounds heavy, like something that ougltt to be carried 6lT, but ho far as our limited understanding goen it means in plain language the money that American industries, our factor* les, plants; mills and mines have laid i up for that proverbial 'rainy day.' | "\\> have ji^it come (hrough one of those periods, and the 'rainy day' nioiie) has stimulated employment j w hen it was needed, paid dividends, i provided employment. <> L "It seems quite us sound common^ sense for corporations as for Individ* Glials to lay up something for rent, to say nothing of wages to workers und dividends to stockholders in < use next year or the next happens to be unprofitable. "Thai is merely prudent management. There is nothing unsocial .about It that needs combing down or penalizing. "Who is going to say, In our vast and divergent Industrial set-up, whut Is a 'reasonable' amount to lay away against the coming of lean years? "Americans own American industries. "Jn American Telephone and Telegraph, for example, the average stockholder owns around 25 shares, and received dividends throughout the entire depression, although the money was not earned, but had been accumulated during the flush period of business and laid away for the 'rainy day' which surely came. "We do not aim to set ourselves . up as financial experts, economists, i or claim to he in tune with the new'est philosophical theories of taxation, but we just kind of wonder, in a good old-fashioned way, whether the lesson, 'Save something for a rainy day,' doesn't apply any more. "And whether saving something out cl what it spends isn't still ti pretty I good idea to let American business J keep. j 1 lie last 'rainy day' would have been lots worse if business hadn't savj cd up sotuething for it. , 1 here may lie a 'next depression.' I Mavbe, alter all. it might bo plain j common sense not to dig too far into ithe business purse just now." Mt.
