 HOLD PRIMARIES
By Assoelated Pres,

Philadelphia, May 17.-All political par ties in Pennsylvania will hold their pri- mary elections tomorrow The republican and democratic parties each vii elect .seventy-six delegates to their respective national conventions. Presidential pref erences are not directly involved in the republican primary, the contests being largely over the personnel of the delega- tion and to settle factional differences.
 Edward Randolph Wood, retired Philadelphia business man, is the sole candidate on the republican presidential preference ballot. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer was the only candidate to file nomination papers on the demo- cratic presidential ballot, but in the last few days the faction opposing the Attor- ney General for control of the organza- tion in Pennsylvania is urging it's fol lowers to write the name of William G. McAdoo on the ballot.
 There are fifteen candidates for the twelve places for delegates at large on the republican ticket. All fifteen are understood to be for Gov. William c. Sproul as first choice and several of them are announced as for Leonard Wood as second choice. Senator Penross is unopposed for renomination to the Senate.
 yfThe faction opposed to Attorney Gen. eral Palmer has placed complete ticke' in the field against the Palmer candi- dates. The twelve Palmer men for dele gates at large have promised to SUD- port the popular choice of the party III the state for president. while the oppo- sition twelve do not make any promises.
 The republicans and democrats will also nominate candidates for United State senator, state treasurer, auditor general thirty-six congressman, twenty-six state senators and POT members of the lower house of the legislature. In addition these parties will elect members to the state committees and to local committees.
 A candidate for justice of the state s'i- preme court and one for judge of the superior court are to be nominated on statewide non-partisan ballot.

STATE TO GET S15O,0O0

Montgomery, May H.-(Speclal) )-About $150,000 will be placed in the state treas ury at once as a result of the refusal ot the supreme court of the United States Monday to review the judgment awarded by the state supreme court in the case of Atlantic Coast Line railroad vs. the state, which was appealed from the state su- preme court
 In this case the courts held that the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, through the absorption of various railroads which had been organized under the laws Of Alabama, became a domestic corporation. and therefore subject to all laws relating to domestic corporations. Alabama has a law requiring domestic corporations to pay franchise taxes on all paid up capital stock, while foreign corporations are re- quired to pay only on capital actuaily employed in the state.
 When William l.. Martin was attorney general he filed a bill setting out that the Atlantic Coast Line had been pay ing franchise tax on $3000,O00 as foreign corporation when it should pay on 72000,0 ,00O as a domestic corporation. The supreme court sustained him, ana now the supreme court of the Unltea States, after litigation continuing since 1915, has upheld the Alabama courts. Not onliy does this mean the railroad must pay the state the difference in franchise taxes as between a foreign corporatloii and a domestic corporation since l9l0, put means that it must pay as domestic corporation in the future.

EXCHANGE MEMBERS PLANNING ID FIGHT TAXING PROVISIONS
State of Terror Will Prevail When Extent of Proposed Taxes Becomes Known,
 Says Rainey
By Associated Press

Washington, May 7.-Representa- tives of New York and Chicago ex- changes will appear tomorrow before republican members of the House ways and means committee to protest against taxing provisions carried in the soldier relief bill. Democratic members of the committee expected to meet with majority members on We'd nesday to approve the bill
 Representative Henry T. Rainey, democrat, Illinois, said tonight that the New York exchange and the Chi cago board of trade may be compelled to close because of the excessive taxes carried in the measure" Taxes on bread grains and other produce and on the stock and bond transac- tions, he said, would be increased l, 1,000 per cent under the bill Such addi- tional taxes would eliminate a multi tude of small transactions comprising large part of a brokers business, representatives from New York and Chicago exchanges said today.
 'The tax on every shipload of grain exported from this country" MT. Rainey said, would be approximately s1, 800. which is the equivalent of per cent tax on every carload. Competi- ton would be virtually destroyed by such a tax. Stock transactions would be taxed along with bonds, even Lib erty Bonds, which are held by 20,000,- 900 citizens.
 MT. Rainey declared that "the coun- try will be in a state of terror when there is realization of the extent of the proposed taxes.''

 | Some of the reports sent in by edit ors unable to attend painted distress 1 ing pictures of the trouble ahead, due 1 to inability to obtain newsprint and high prices for the little to be had. Many dailies, with ancient and honor able lineage, soon will be forced to suspend unless there is quick relief, letters and telegrams said, while some editors declared the weekly walk of the ghost' would be a thing of the past in many little offices if prices kept climbing and mills failed to an- swer the newsprint appeal
 One editor whose paper has not missed a publication day since the Civil war, telegraphed that he could not get away because there were only two rolls of newsprint in the shop and where the next would come from no man could say. i
 Hope was expressed by the publish CTS, however, that through organiza- tion relief might come.

s MASH WINDOW AND GET
WATCH,

That certainly was a "bundlesome"
robbery at Cauble's store early Sun
day morning when an unknown party
threw a 12-inch piece Of heavy chain
against the large plate glass, tearing
a great hole in it.. The terrible noise
must have scared the thieves away as
only one watch and chain was missed
from the numerous inexpensive arti-
cles in>the window. But, perhaps that
was all the amateur thieves were af-
ter, having no use for the pins,
breaches or the like. 1t is quite like
ly that the same parties who visited
Laflin's store several weeks ago did
the work early Sunday morning and
doubtless they figure on evading the
laws strong hand as before. Mrs.
Chris Bomballis, wife of a Greek res
tauranter here, was the first to dis
cover the robbery on her way home
after midnight, and it was she who re-
ported it to the police.

SERVICES SUNDAY AT THE
CHURCHES.

For the first time in three weeks
High Pointers Sunday had the privl-
lege Of attending Sunday school and
church services.
The emergency ordinance prohibit
ing crowds to congregate, which was
issued three weeks ago by the city
council, and rescinded by that body
when it met in extraordinary session
at noon Friday, went off Saturday
night. Beginning at that time meet
ings of various kinds will be allowed
in High Point.
Church leaders of the city have
been greatly handicapped by their
work since the ordinance was issued.
However, they have voiced no objec-
ton to it, but on the other hand have
readily complied with it. Many OF the
pastors realized that it was practical
lv impossible for them to do any work
in their respective churches SO they
went out and took a hand in the fight
against influenza here. Many of them
volunteered to assist in nursing pa
tients Ill with the disease, while 9TH
ers ran errands and performed nu-
nerous duties.

sthere have been but 20 deaths from

MAKING PLANS IN FUTURE
HIGH POINT TO BUILD A NEW
SCHOOL HOUSE.
Will Be Eerected On Park Street At
Cost of $4,000, With Modern
Equipment-Need Central
Il
School.

School facilities of the city are to
be increased, by the erection of a $685.
600 building on Park street, it has
been decided by the local school board
and city council, sitting in joint ses-
sion. This move has been taken to
relieve the marked congestion and
make possible some enforcement of
che compulsory school attendance law.
At present the school facilities are
far from adequate and the new build
ing cannot be gotten ready for occu-
pancy any too soon insofar as the
school system is concerned.
Some time ago the members OF the
council agreed with the school board
chat an additional building was me-
cessary and after a little considera-
tion, voted to construct a building
costing about $4,000. Recently,
after studying the matter, it was de-
cided that $4,000 would be needed
to erect and equip the sort of school
necessary and plans are well toward
maturity for starting the work of
construction.
The Park street building will have
two offices, and will be fully equipped
with every modern school convenience.
Plans are complete and officials con-
temprate a start on the work in 10,
days. The addition of II class rooms
to the school facilities of the city,
will materially relieve congestion for
the time being but the constantly in,
creasing population is causing deep,
thought to be paid to the central high
school idea.
1t is declared essential that High
Point township have a central high
school as soon as practicable, in order
to take care of the school systenls
School officials reiterate that High
Point more make educational prep
arations for the youth of tomorraw
and that if such preparations are not
made soon, it will be too late. The
same determine tion that was mani
fest when the idea was first suggesgt-
ed is still evident and the central
high school idea has not been shunted
into the background as. a result of
the decision to build the Park street
structure.
