COMMENTS ON MEN AND NEWS
By SPECTATOR.
*
In Senate Race
1 go about a bit and I learn many
thin£*, that are useful. Recently I
vnjoywj. a conversation with a thought-
Jul man and we jointly and severally
■wonder where all the money comes
from. Our banks have lots of money;
in fact they seem to be embarrassed
■about having so much money. Many
■of us H tand ready to relieve the bank
ers of their embarrassing gold, but
some how our willingness to serve
dorwn’t s eem to impress them. My
friend and I have less than we had
fast year. That seems true of our
neighbors also. Now if our banks
have more is it our money by any
chance ?
A studious man tells me that only
about 6 per cent, of farm mortgages
are paid off from the earned profits
From production. He says that 94
per .cent, is re-financed or else paid
from sales of timber or land. That
is the sort of thing A. L. M. Wig
gins might illuminate for us.
The State Fedeiation of Labor now
comt's out with a questionnaire. The
head cf the Federation is a State of
ficial, by the way. Is this a sort of
Fascist affair,
plough hand, the worker of any sort
cn the farm laborg mote strenuously
than the industrial worker. Why not
include him? For example, question
No. 3 advocates enlarging the scope
of the Department of Labor; No. 4
seems to advocate the absorption of
the Unemployment Commission by
the Depaitment of Labor; No. 5 sug
gests that the Industrial Commission
form a part of the Department of
Labor. I favor the reorganization of
the State government and agree that
not only may 4 and 5 be good for
the State, but the Labor department
might take over the Department of
Agriculure and the Warehouse 8 ervice.
There is a reason: The farmers
would go out of business. Well,;we , SFNATOR FDGAR A. BROWN
may put industry out of business C ar uM a te for Re-election to the State
some day by all sorts of restrictions
end meddlesome interference. There
is nothing sadder or more desolate
than an abandoned industry. Other
States have them and we are in dan
ger of yielding to those who see just
one phase of life and may destroy the
very concerns which today enable
them to earn bread and meat.

“Fewer Babies, but increase in old
People,” s ays my friend of the Caro
lina Free Press in a headline. At
Fust hlU'h it would mystify Nicode-
mus, but I'm strong for fewer and
fewt r and fewer babies. That i B the
«mly hope we have for finally paying
«ild age pensions without i complete
collapse. I have an idea that if the
hwby crop were greatly reduced there
would eventually be fewer old peo
ple

We talk about building up our
State by bringing in new industries.
Well, do you think anybody but a fool
would invest his money in a State
that h:s such taxe s as we now have
and presents a new threat to business
every year? Why not have a show
down sometime? If these labor or-
gj nizers can run the State and de-
stioy our business let’s get it over
and done with and plow up the mill
villages for farm lines.

county officers by a vote of the peo
ple. If elected he said, “I went the

ty, for 1 can a.sk foi something for
'others better than 1 can for my

Interring to tax reduction in the
