BETTER THAN LIFE —Because
the loving kindness O God. is better
than life my lips shall praise thae.—
Psalm 63 3.
THE NEW TAX BILL
levied in the new revenue bill
r.cw before the Senate are offerd to
the country- by the finance committee
w rth a -tort of apology , and with an
urgent appeal tor cooperation. In
other wortfc. burmeso and the public
are a»ked to swallow the bitter dose
as a patriotic duty, and in that spirit
the measure will be accepted by those
able to do so.
A two-year limitation is placed on
the new levies, lliat Is. they will be in
effect until June 30. 1934, and at that
time automatically expire unless re
newed by later legislation. It is pre
sumed that theie will have been a
sufficient improvement in economic
conditions by that time to permit a
change.
Regardless, however, of limitations
jn the bill, there are only two ways
whereby the country can be relieved
ultimately of this extra tax burden.
One is that there will be sufficient im
provement that the old taxes will pro
duce enough revenue to meet expendi
tures. The other is that government
costs shall be reduced to the point
that less money will be required to
carry on public business.
The .-*peed with which recovery re
turns is more or less in the lap of the
gods It may be soon or it may be
years But whether it is early or
late, there ought to be a sharp cur
tailment in governmental expendi
tures. No matter how prosperous the
country may come to be, there is no
juttUficatkm sot such enormous out
lays of public money as have been
made in the last eight to ten years.
The government, like many private
businesses ha> delayed retrenchment
until the old cow is pretty nearly milk
ed dry. and. even with the return of
normal tames, a lot of recuperating
will be nec«,;«ry in order to get back
upon the safe and sound basis of
other years
Every indication now is that the new
bill will be em,cied into law The
higher taxes will be levied and col
lected. and will be continued until
there is an improvement in business
or a very material reduction in ex
penses. The country may as well
make up its mind to that effect now.
A CHALLENGE
The offer of the 61 members of the
facuHy of the Henderson city schools
to help men the cost of an extra
month in order s o operate the schools
cn a nine months basis is a clear-cut
challenge to :iv* community. The
past year, for the first time in a
couple of decades or more, the schools
have been foiced to cut to eight
months. Teachers realize, as no one
else does, the handicap that is forced
upon the pupil when he is compelled
so cut down fiom nine months to
eight. In the broad span of eleven
years in the avetage modern school
ayatem it meanr the loss of more than
B full year.
* Not only are tne teachers willing to
work the ninth month for a salary
from ten to twenty percent than
the regular scale, but are ready to
go still further and from their own
pockets pay the coot of Incidental ex
penses. Including Janitor services and
tights and wager. More than that
could hardly be expeated of them, es
pecially In view of the teat that most
of them are not. even permanent resi
dents of Henderson. Their interest
in the welfare of the community and
of the school children U evident, how-
ever, by the voluntary offer they have
made.
The cost of the extra month, after
allowing for these deductions, will be
a little more then SB,OOO. It would
amount to an increased school tax of
between six and seven cents on the
hundred dollars valuation of property
ir Henderson township, and will be a
good investment when made.
Through the years when great for
ward Strides have been made In equip
ment. Henderson has not provided a
high school of adequate proportions
for the training of its young people.
The result is that, we have allowed
our school faculties to bag behind,
and there is a very real danger of
our high school losing Its rating and
its recognition with institutions of
higher learning. Restoration of the
ninth month will not bring us up to
the point where we should stand, but
ll will be a step in Chat direction.
Good schools in a community are
one of the greatest inducements that
can be held out to new-comers to in
duce them to move into a city or
town. On the other hand, when
these facilities are far below the
standard, the prospective settler hesi
tates about casting his lot with us.
To fail to restore our schools to the
full term would tend to make per
manent the lapse we have permitted
in one of Che most important institu
tions in the city.
The greatest asset of any people
is their children. When they are
pi-operly trained, they are in position
to make progress and to build upon
what the present generation has done
When they are lacking in that train
ing. they are handicapped to just
i hat extent. Ar.d Henderson will lay
this hardship upon the next genera
tion if it resolves as a permanent
policy to restrict its school term to
c'ght months.
Action of Che teachers should set
us all to thinking They have hurled
a challenge to us. Surely shall
not fail in this crucial time to meet
that challenge.
TAKING 1 HEIR LOSSES
Conscious of lhe obligations they
owe to the community they serve, the
newspapers of America have been
carrying ou during these terrific
times to the utmost of their ability.
And let no one suppose for a moment
that they have not been, sweating
blood along with aLI other lines of
business, and many of them have been
having rougher sledding than most
r.ther branches of activity.
It must be said, too, that there has
been little noticeable curtailment of
service to the public. News coverage
has been kepi upon a high standard,
and every point has been strained to
maintain the speed in obtaining and
delivering news that the papers and
the public became accustomed to
v-hen money was available for these
services. News costs, moreover, have
not been shaved down. Cuts have
been necessary but they have been
made elsewhere. Help has been re
duced, and that necessitates a doub
l.ng up of duties and responsibilities.
In addition to that, salary curtail
rnen/ts have become an absolute ne
cessity even for those left in the or
ganization*. But they have carried
on in an effort to discharge a public
11 usit.
Newspapers ar? at a disadvantage
in these times that must be met by
few other business activities. A paper
fiat ordinarily rims eight or twelve
or sixtee n pages. and some more than
that, is put to just as much expense
to produce a daily issue when theie is
not a dollars worth of business car
ried in the columns as it is when the
page limit is reached and the paper is
bulging with good revenue-producing
space. That is something that is usu
ally overlooked.
While advertising has fallen off tre
mendously, circulation has held up
much belter. That means that the
public is slow to derprive itself of Its
only opportunity to keep abreast of
what is going on in the world, and
that It continues to demand and to
read its daily paper. Unfortunately
circulation means nothing to a news
paper in the way of meeting its ope
rating costs, other than the mainten
ance of the circulation alone, and oft
entimes not even that.
The papers are carrying on to the
be**, of their ability, and the wonder
is that nearly all of them have, by
some means, been able to continue.
But even they will n ot be able to stand
up indefinitely under the terrific drain
to which they are being subjected.
Blahop at Duke.

August.
HENDERSON, (N. C.J DAILY DISPATCH THURSDAY, M AY 12, 1932 T
By Central Press
New York. May 12—Parades will
always remain rom ebbing of a my
stery to me. No one seems to en
joy them much, except perhaps small
boys and strap
ping blackamoors
twirling gold
bal led swagger
sticks.
If you want to
see faces fallen
like reflections in
Coney Island
comic mirrors,
observe Fifth avenue merchants whllle
an official procession is in process
of passing their doors- and congealing
business thereby. Or take a squint
at my own none too prepossessing
visage while I'm in the act of hitting
the parade line in an effort to get
crosstown.
ENIGMA NO. 2
Another mystery is the anti-prohi
bition attitude of the average speak
easy bartender. All of that jovial
tribe seems to want legal beer in to
morrow when a revision of the law
would throw most of them out of
work
"SHINE. MISTER?”
When the yellow light of 7 a. m
plants down across Union Square, the
bootblacks take their places. Some of
them arc youngsters, but there are
veterans of t he profeaaion. with hoard
locks or fierce black muetaohios.
These are not relics of better times
forced into menial tasks. They are.
tor the most part, life-long members
of the shoe-shining guild. For a col
umnist not overcome by his own dig
nity and the importance of his nightly
stool in the high jinks emporiums, the
shine boys are revelatory.
Predominating in the profession, my
icsearches indicate, are Arabs and
Portuguese, although representatives
of every race, including the good old
melting-pot American can be spotted.
If you imagine they ate as a class,
burdened with an inferiority complex
from their labois, you are wrong.
There are good polishers and bad.
The proficient practitioners, with a
following of regular customers, have
little respect for. or traffic with, the
duds. Over locations in the pedes
trian streams through the square
tierce competitive wars are waged.
One dour Arab, with rackety-rax con
nections. summoned a pair of his thug
gish friends an cleared out all the
burnishei-s in a radius of two hundred
yards.
Then there is the kindly gentleman
who used to be located on the north
wrt comer of the square. He qrould
lecture me on the caroleesnesses of
his colleagues, pointing out* the emp
tiness of mere snap and fury in the
application of the polishing rag.
WINDFALL
No inquiry into shoe-shinery would
be completed without mention of my
friend. Joe. who used to own half
interest In a stand at "Hurd avenue
and 42nd itreet Joe was a more than
ordinarily conscientious burnisher and
might have gone far —If he had not
been swept into higher (or lower)
etratas by sheer luck.
He won SB,OOO in a foreign sweep
stakes, on an investment of 50 cqass.
and sold his share in the stand.
"I’m gonna do two things with that
dough." he told me. the morning for
tune smiled. "Buy my mudder a
operation and get me dogs shined in
every joint between here and de Hud
son!”
IN THE SHOWSHOPS
More than once I've paused to
point out the apparent connection be
tween apparent physioal blemishes and
smavihmg success... At the moment
Donald Meek, the ittage and screen
mime, pops Into my head; wonder
whether his rather spectacular bald
ness didn't dramatize his homely pos
turing and bait the big pay-checks?..
Personal feeding: that Warren Wil
liam has never had the cinema chance
has talents deserve.. .Jack Oakie is
the only comic I can think of who has
clicked in semi straight roles; and the
only one who seems to ricochet up
and down so dizzily in the popular
favor.
When radium was discovered no
one knew that ti would prove useful
in hospitals. The work of its dis
coverers, Professor and Madame Curie
was one of pure science only.
