CONCEPTION INADEQUATE
I’crliaps the chief explanation as to
why the employment campaign moves
no fattei. here or elsewhere, is tha*
these with jobs have an inadequate
conception of the actual plight of
those who have no work to do and
can get none. The idea has nek been
forcefully enough driven home in the
minds of the more fortunate of our
people and they are prone sometimes
to wonder what i*. la all about.
But those whose bank account has
been entirely depleted, whose coal bin
is empty and whose woodpile haa van
ished; whose pantry Is bare. whose
clothe* are threadbare, and who must
walk the streets without work or lan
guish at home in meditation on what
the future means and what It holds
In store; and for whom nearly every
thing is a black wall, with wife and
children suffering for the bare neces
sities of life those fellows know what
»♦ is all about.
Moot of us arc too willing to “let
George do It"; to pass the buck, or
to surmise that it wilt aM work out
somehow and nobody be the worse for
the experience. That kind of an atti
tude on the par* of those who could
help if they would is a destructive out
look upon life. It contributes nothing
but misery to the plight <xf a nation
and its unfortunates in a time like
the present.
There must be a realization that the
helpless man Is helpless; that there is
ntk a great de.tl he can do to bring
about better times and better cond*-
t.uns. unless he is first given a hand by
those who stand above him.
To furnish an hour's work or a
day's work is better, far better than
nothing at all. It will provide a meal
or two and ease the pangs of hunger
for a season. And every one who can
do so should lose no opportunity to
do that. But a bigger objective is to :
furnish the unemployed man with t
job that ts permanent. That wil'i
give him a more hopeful Rant upon
life. It win restore his confidence in
humanity and encourage him to plug
along with a greater enthusiasm an;
s largei determination, and will nr
only make him sc if-supporting bv
will put. him in position soon to be of
atwwtance to others less fortunate.
We know from experience the dis
Acuities that are being grappled with
by those who are being called upon i
to furnish jobs, and the utter impos
sibility there is for some to contribute
in this undertak.ng But is it not a
fact, too. that there are many who can
put Idle men to work but are not do
lug 0O?
To give one's complete cooperation
In the present undertaking is no leas
a patriotic duty than the service
rendered by civilians and soldiers In
the day* of the World War. Who
doe* no* remember the term "Pack
er” that was commonly applied to the
drones back in those times? It was
considered a privilege and an honor
to fall In line then. But let us not
forget that we are today fighting a
arsr against depression a war which
If different, is certainly no leas real,
than the one that was wagud In
Northern France in 1917 and 1918.
Let us not forget, either .that those
who fell or refuse to give their all In
iMitm" and eervioe are just as
much slackers today as were those of
a decade and a half ago.
Let us look upon this situation as
one ot great seriousness. It la no
ohttd’s play, nor to It a problem alone
for those who are direct sufferers.
It la a matter that should command
the earnest cooperation of every Ame
rican citlaen to the utmost of his abil
ity. There la a contribution all of ua
can make. Thai being so. can we
oall ourselves burning patriots If we
fall our country' tn (these ttmee?
THE SALES TAX REACTION
Defeat of Che sales tax program in
the national House of Representative*
Thursday was another instance where
what at one time appeared to be cer
tain victory was later turned into a
decisive defeat. And what was be
hind anl beneath the reversal of the
coarse of that piece of revenue leg
islation?
Perhaps the biggest inspiration that
fired the opponents of the sales tax
proposal was a conviction that here
was an effort to saddle the Mttle man
with the extra burden of government
and let the rich man escape. It is
worth remembering that, even though
the sales tax wns brought out by a
Democratic commifeee, It had the
backing of an administration that has
acquired the reputation of working
for big busiuess and for the richer
element.
It Is hard u> think of taking half
or two-third s of a man's income, no
matter how large it may be. in the
way of a tax levy. It does tend to
destroy initiative, ambition and hard
work. It would be a poor policy if a
permanent one but there is the no
tion that what is being undertaken
now is a temporary program to bridge
across a temporary condition. For
that reason all of us must make sac
rtfStes. It is infinitely less of a
'.rardship on a man with an income of
a million or IKe million dottars to
have to pay sixty percent of it to the
government in taxes than on the man
with an income of one or two thou
sand dollars a year and a family to
support, who has to pay 4en or twenty
cellars in taxes.
Only two courses are left open to
Congress n ow bv way of balancing the
national budget. Expenditures must
be cut still further or else the wealthy
people must pay larger taxes. It Is
for the legislators to decide the course
they will pursue.
There is another angle to what hap
pened In Congress yesterday. That is
the respect in which it will affect
legislation in the 1963 North Carolina
General Assembly. year ago a sales
tax failed by only a small margin.
Next yeir it will raise its serpent head
again, and with at least an even
chance of success. Will North Caro
lina congressmen who opposed the
sales tax in the House yesterday raise
their voice to keep It down when it
becomes an issue again in their native
State? Will North Carolina legisla
tors be responsive to the rising tide of
revulsion against a sales tax that
caused ks defeat in Washington? It
Is obnoxious and objectionable from
almost every angle, and should never
be Imposed except as a tart. resort.
There will be a reaction to events
in the House Thursday. It ought to
be of such proportions as to impress
the legislature in this State that p
sales tax is not wanted, either in
Washington or in North Carolina.
It is becoming more and more true
tnat seas uo not mviae. nut unite,
countries.

Elimination*
Chapel Hill March 26—Report*
which have been received at the cen
tral office here of the High School
Debating Union of North Carolina in
dicate that the stage is set for the
twentieth annual Merles of triangular
debates which will be held in 2120
participating high schools throu&v
out the State on April 1.
The query which wiH be dtooussed
in ail of the debates is: Resolved,
That the United States should adopt
a system of compulsory unemploy
ment Insurance.
The schools winning both sides in
the triangular contents will send their
teams to ,Chapel Hil 1 to compete on
April 14 and 15 In Anal contest
for the Aycock Memorial Cup, the
trophy donated by ihe intercollegiate
debaters of the University.
The yquthful North Carolina, de
baters have nrule an intensive study,
extending over the past several
months, of the entire field of compul
sory unemployment insurance in
their spring contests this year.
The triangles which have been ar
ranged for the debating contest were
announced today by Secretary E. R.
Rankin, including the foDowing:
Franklinton, Louisburg. and Oxford;

SALES TAX DEFEAT
TO REBOUND HERE
(Continued from Page One.)
turns again toward a luxury tax or
a selected commodity tax that will
put a tax on cigarettes and tobacco,
the tobacco companies will, of course,
fight this, just as they did in the 1931
legislature.
But when the move is started for a
general sales tax in 1933—in fact, the
movement is already being started by
certain candidates for the 1933 Gen
eral Assembly—more people are go
ing to know just what a sales tax
means than they did In 1931. They
will remember the fight made on it
in Congress, that it was proposed by
a Republican president and for the
most part supported by Republicans,
and that it was defeated by the Demo
crats. They will remember the fight
made upon it by Doughton, Lambeth
and the other congressmen from
North Carolina and wonder why a
sales tax should be a good thing for
a Democratic State, though a bad
thing for the nation as a whole, ac
cording to opinion in political circles
here. It is pointed out that even
Josephus Daniels has come out in bit
ter opposition to the national sales
tax .though an ardent sales tax ad
vocate for the State In 1931.
