THE NEW TAX COMMISSIONER

Col. A. D. Watts, of Staatesville
who has served as State Tax Commits
sioner since the beginning Of the Nor
rison administration, has resigned and
the Hon. R. A. Doughton has been
appointed in his stead. The causes
leading up to the voluntary resig.
nation of Mr.. Watts, will not be
dwelt upon here. The Charlotte Oh
server has this to say about the form
er and present Tax Commissioner:
4" Governor Doughton who as
sumes the Office of Staate Tax
Commissioner, vacated by Mr..
A. d. Watts, has been a tax and
financial authority in the State
Legislature for more than a
quarter of a century. Perhaps
there is no more in the State
whose qualifications are better
known to the people, because
Mr.. Doughton, during his long
service in public life, has come
in contact personally with the
people of every county in the
State. He is an authority on tax
es and will give the State wise
safe and conservative administra-
tion of that important office.
With the circumstances which
brought about the immediate
shift in personnel of the tax ad-
ministration we could not linger
with feeling other than a deep
regret, and we feel sure the SYM
pathy of the people will be
with the Governor, whose apt
pointment of Mr.. Watts was ad-
mittedly based upon grounds of
capability and efficiency. In the
conduct of the office and in the
management of the States af-
fairs, Mr.. Watts had undoubted-
ly fulfilled the expectations of
the State Administration He had
established record that chal-
lenged the criticism of his politi
cal enemies and in that direction
had fully justified the faith the
Governor had placed in him.
eff there had been a measure
of discomfort by reason of Watts
appointment, there can be none
in the case of Mr.. Doughton. He
will take charge of the office
with an approval that will be Of
statewide unanimity."

THERE is MANY A TEAR AS
SOLDIERS LEAVE THE RHINE
(By The Associated Press)


The last of the American forces
which have been keeping watch on
the Rhine since the signing of the
Ammistice ending the world war are
homeward bound.
The stars and strips were low
cred from the famous fortress of
Ehrenbreitstein at noon Wednesday
and the troops boarded trains bound
for Antwerp, where they will en-
bark on the transport St. Mihiel.
The Eighth infantry regiment,
which formed the principal Ameri-
can contingent, entrained at Cob
LEM in two sections. The men were
saluted by all the high allied officials.
The 156th French infantry furnished
the guard of honor, and it's band
National anth .nis as the trains pulled
out. The populace of the city Of Cob
LEM, especially women and girls, were
at the station to say farewell to de-
parting friends. There was much
weeping among the women folk, and
mutual promises between them and
the homeward bound soldiers to meet
again.
Not alone were crowds present
at the station, but the railway tracks
beyond for a mile were lined with
friend waving handkerchiefs and sout-
ing forewells. Some of the towns
people went to distant suburbs to
pay their last respects, while others
took the ordinary trains to Anwerp
to renew their farewells.
The ceremony Of lowering the flag
over the fortress took plac1 on top
of "Gross Traverse" where the Ame-
rican and French troops had formed
facing the flagstaff, which reared it.
self a hundred feet above the ram
parts.
The band sturck up the "Star
Spangled Banner, as four sergeants,
veterans of the seventh machine gun
battalion of the third division, pulled
the halyards and slowly lowered the
flag and folded it with great dignity
and then marched off to the head
of their comrades.
There was brief pause, and then
French soldiers broke out the tri-
color from the flagstaff, the bunting
fluttered gently in the breeze. Every
one had stood bareheaded during the
simple eremony-whether generals
or simple soldiers The crowds swarm
ing the earth and stone tops Of the
barracks to view the ceremony strove
vainly to hide their emotion.
Belgium's Gratitude
Appropriate speeches were exchang
ed in the main cabin of the vessel.
In his address M. Deveze expressed
Belgium's devotion to the United
States. Final ceremony was one of
many attending the farewell of these,
the last of the American soldiers in
Europe.
The St. Mihiel was decked out in
official flags, with the American jack
forward, the efficiency flag of the
United State- Army transport Ser
vice at the main, the Belgium Aag
at the foremast and the American
flag on the staff aft.
Tokens of Affection
Among the many tokens of af-
fection presented the departing sol
diers was most modest one from
an unknown woman. Timidly she
left bouquet of flowers in the
bridge cabin Of CAPTAIN Oliver. 1t
was not in her own name, she said,
but on behalf of the humble people
of Belgium who never could forget
the aid the Americans had render
ed during the war time needs.

RESIGNATION Of
BONAR LAW IS
EXPECTED SOON
Illness of British Premier Be-
Iieved by Friends to Be
Serious.

By United Press
LONDON, May 19.-Premier Bonar
Law is now certain to resign, political
experts, his friends and the British
press agree.
The resignation may come very
soon, but almost certainly before the
end of July, it is learned on the best
authority.
The premier's illness is much more
critical than at first was realized. He
is returning from Paris this afternoon.
The sudden call for Harley street
specialists in cancer has led the Paris
press to suggest Bonar Laws throat
affection is of a most serious nature.
Lord Beaverbrook, who went TO
Paris to see the prime minister, his
close personal friend. hurried back
here in obvious alarm and went at
once into consultation with conser-
vatives regarding a successor.
Already a quarrel is on as to who
shall succeed Bonar Law.
Until a short time ago, Marquis
, Curzon was looked upon as a likely
successor to the premiership. Now
Stanley Baldwin, chancellor of the
exchequor and acting premier. has
come along as a likely rival to the
foreign minister.

Baldwin ADMITS
British Premier Tells Commons
Action OF Two Powers Pre-
vents Cooperation of u. S.

LondOn.-Premier Baldwin warned
France that Great Britain under pres
ent circumstances could not maintain
the Entente Indefinitely.
He was replying in the House OF
Commons to a speech by Ramsay Mac
donald moving a vote of censure. The
leader Of the Labor Party had attack
ed the Governments foreign policy as
nerveless and laundering. The Gov
ernmont had allowed the British mar
kets in Central Europe to be destroy
ed he said, and had shown its inca
pacity to turn to advantage America s
offer to come in and help straighten
out the problems Of reparations. Yet
on the Continent there was still a feel
ing that England should do something
to charm the nightmare Of militarism
away. In reality she was weaker in
Europe than she had ever been, yet
there was greater expectation thar
there had ever been in the hearts of
the very best sections of the European
peoples that she might take some Wig
0rOus action.
He knew perfectly we'll" continued
Macdonald, that whoever introduced
new policy in foreign affairs must
be a man of infinite patience, but g
beginning must be made"
Mr.. Baldwin agreed with Mr.. Mac
donald as to the necessity of patience
in handling foreign affairs and con
fessed that so far he could not pre-
tend that his efforts to reach a settle
ment had met with success.
Il had high hopes that when com
munications with America began they
might really be productive Of solid
progress, but there again, as so Otter
before during this year, we have found
all our efforts brought to naught, no.
by our own action nor by the action
Of America, but by the action of two
of our own allies" said Mr.. Baldwin

3 BROkDCASTENC
PROGRAMS UNDER
SINGLE CONTROL
Bell System Announcer Has
Hands Full Mana ging
Complex Switching
Devices.

A trend which radio broadcast sting
may assume in the future is Indicated
BY a piece CT special equipment in the
annoUncers booth at WEAF, the Bell
Telephone System broadcasting sta
ton in New York City. This device
controls not only the annouucer's
microphone but ne broadcasting op-
erations for three stations.
The announcer for WEAF is seated
before q mahogany desk upon which
stands complex switchboard. Code
letters indicate the function of each
of the numerous cam switches. 1t is
the nerve center of the station, pro-
viding for the gathering of programs
from many points and their distribu-
ton through stations in New York,
Washington, D c., and Providence,
r. J., and also additional points on
special occasions.
The programs for WEAF are rem
dered not only at many different
points, such as theatres, hotels and
auditoriums, but are also distributed
TO several broadcast.ng stations. Oc
casionally special programs are rem
dered from one particular station
while another program is rendered for
the other two.
Switches On the announcar's switch
board panel provide fer the many
complex operations necessary TO cover
and exchange these programs as de-
sired. For instance, when WEAFS
announcer states the next voice You
will hear is our announcer at Kansas
City. who will introduce the speaker
OF the evening"" ne himself operates
a cam switch which transfers the pro-
gram to the distant city.
Added to the task of controlling the
source and distribution of programs,
he has the complex task OF annoUnc-
ing for several stations simultaneous
". He switches his own announcing
microphone so that his words are
radiated only through the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company,
WAR, Providence, R. l., or WCAP.
Washington, D. c.. or WEAF singly
or any combination of two or all three
simultaneously as required by the
character of the announcement.
The switching arrangements sug
gest something Of the character which
radio broadcasting may assume in the
future 1t may be that several pro-
grams will be rendered at different
points and supplied to switchboard
where they will be routed and re-
routed and interchanged to local and
distant stations as ordered by pro
gram managers. In this way, each
station, no matter what its location,
may balance its program according to
the local requirements and be certain
of the highest grade Of talent.
