Salvation Army
 is Helping Women
 to Find Husbands

New York, Feb 27-The Salvation Army in the British Islands working in co-operation with the government
 is promoting ennieration of the ap- nroximatelv 1.25O,00O women in excess of the male nnnnlation there. Com missioner David c Lamb. London for een secretary of the army on a mis- sion to the United States has an- no"nced here.
 Spinsterhood or emigration is the fate of these women, the commission CT asserted. adding:
 "We offer no apology for active proparanda designed to procure bet ter distribution of the sexes. There are a million and a quarter more wo- men than men in the British Isles to- day. and one of the bigeest after-the- war tasks assigned the Salvation Army in Britain is to stimulate fe- male emigration and direct it to those colonies in the British Empire such as western Canada and portions of Africa and Australia where there are more male than female inhabitants. The prospect of placing female do- mestics in the United States has not been overlooked
 | ed several shiploads of emigrants toI l Canada already. We help them make arrangements to leave the old coun- try, provide transportation when nec- essarv and through our world wide organization see to it that the emi- erants are safely settled in the new land
 "Our records show that of the girls who emigrated some years tgo to cer- tain sections where women were in the minority 60 per cent were mar ried within three years of their ar rival. This fact and the opportuni- ties for work at good wages in other lands are not without significance to the tens of thousands of thoughtful and enterprising women in the Brit ish Isles" Other after-the-war conditions in the British Isles included the virtual disappearance of the vagrant, and the shortage of agricultural labor due in part to the wartime cultivation of more than 2,0O0,000 acres of grass land, Commissioner Lamb said.
 The success or failure of "local op- tion" in Scotland will furnish "good indication" on the prospects for pro- hibtion in the Isles, he said, adding

It's great to be a father. Likewise Its great to be son. You have if from the fathers and sons them selves. They admitted it last night at the Y, M. c.

 "In Great Britain as whole, how ever, the tendency is toward a re- strietion ,on the sale Of liquor in pub- lie corresponding to the American saloons-and continuation of limitation as to hours. This makes for temperance rather than prohibi- tion. However much they may scoff English breweries are taking the pro- hibition threat much more seriously than they are willing to admit, and are spending large sums in counter propaganda.

The legal reserve Is now Sl,747,534.

Notwithstanding the unusual death
loss from influenza during the frst
four months Of 1919 the results for the
year show an excess Of income over
disbursements of $38S. PAS.
Such in brief is the record Of the
fourteenth year Of Oregon Life lnsur-
ance COmpany-a record of continued
success, for year after year without
break Oregon Life has gone forward,
never backward, until today no life
insurance company doing business in
this state writes as much business as
does 0regon's own home company,
your company and the company IN
which every Oregonian must take a
lust pride.
However. it is proper at this annual
meeting to go further than merely to
give the figures that mark the Com
panys steadily continuing success.
1t is certainly worth mentioning to
call your attention to the fact that
over twenty per cent of the new busi-
ness written in 1919 was placed with
people who already carried policies in
Oregon Life. No better illustration
can be given of the strong faith in
Oregon Life than that its policyholders
are placing additional insurance with
the Company. 1t is a tribute to the
strength of Oregon Life and the ser
vice rendered its policyholders that
must be gratifying alike to the officers
and stockholders of the Company.
II also should be brought to the no.
tice of the stockholders that although
the total death losses in the year
amounted to 1921 SIT, nevertheless
S73 633, or about go per cent of the to-
tai, occurred in the first for months of
the year. when the mortality from in
fluenza was high. When you consider
the age which some of our policies
have attained ana the percentage Of
death losses from influenza. mortality
for the year of about 60 per cent of the
expected is most favorable and speaks
well for the care and caution exercised
by our medical director in the selection
of risks.

the State and wonderfully ligh-
en- the burden Of taxation on
those WHO are already here. 1t
is a penny wise ard pound fool
ish policy to maintain a tax sys-
TEN that literally drives our own
men of wealth out of our borders
and frightens others from com
ing IN.
a low tax rate will not only
keep our own capital here and
lure retired capitalists from other
states, but it will attract big
capital right now that is seeking
investment where the tax rates
are not confscatory. In one of
our progressive towns in eastern
North Carolina the present tax
rate, State, city, and county
combined, is over $500 on the
one hundred dollars worth of
property. A million dollar enter
prise in that c ty would have to
pay in taxes over $40,0 900 a year.
Such a tax rate guarantees that
town against money from the
outside. Divide that rate by
four and new enterprises would
spring up, new wealth would
flow into the town, and the bur-
den of taxation on the average
man would be proportionately
relieved.
Finally, brethren, | desire to
leave four questions on the door.
steps Of every mans conscience
and Intelligence:
|. Do We really desire to make
the tax books Of North Carolina
speak the truth?
2. Do we really desire to wipe
out determinations, and in the
realm of taxation treat all peo-
pie and all property exactly
alike?
3. Do we desire to have trne
values and low rates, or values
ridiculously low and rates ter
rifyingly high?
A. Do we desire to maintain a
system or taxation that will
drive men and property out of
North Carolina, or a system that
will draw both men and property
into the State?
The objective of the Revalua-
ton Act is the plain truth. The
machinery was designed to
reach this objective. If in any

ANATIONAL CRISIS

Herbert Hoover, practical
states man, viewing the public
school situation, speaks of the
'heartbreaking underpayment"
of public school teachers and
calls attention to the fact that
there are 100, 1000 teaching posi-
lions now vacant or else filled
by incompetents. He finds that
there are 100000 teachers re-
ceiving less than $3.50 a year.
Salary increases which have
been more or less grudgingly
granted here and there, he finds
have been only from 10 to Is per
cent, whereas the cost of living
has increased from 80 to IS per
cent.
The situation has reached the
point where, in the great nation
al gathering of educators now at
Cleveland, teachers are propos-
ing the formation of unions and
affiliation with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and all that this
involves, including strikes and
the inevitable further increase
of national unrest.
We have expended billions to
make the world safe for democ-
racy; we have. subscribed hun
dreds of millions for relief, and
millions more for various worthy
objects, including higher educa-
ton, as DR.. J. 0. Atkinson points
out in his communication today;
but we have done nothing for the
public school teacher who holds
