Tory Element to Back
PaternaliStic Plans

Denver. Aug. 12-The next congress
will be flooded with paternalistic leg
slation backed by privilege, accord
ing to Huston Thompson, member of
the federal trade commission.
Mr.. Thompson made this statement
in an interview with the Colorado
Labor Advocate, official paper of the
state federation of labor.
While monopoly is shrieking against
paternalism, ii is preparing to more
thoroughly centralize government that
rulefship by the people may be wiped
out.
Maneuyering by the money inter
eSts during the past several months
has placed them in position of pow
en- the federal commissioner declared,
and they will lose no time to have
legislation enacted which will permit
them to legally maintain that power.
This tendency is shown by the ma
jority members of the federal trade
commission, who ruled that any firm
found violating an antitrust law
would simply be reprimanded secretly
and allowed to continue business after
promising to never. never do il
again"
The majority also ruled that no
charges against a business concern
en- be investigated unless there is a
joint resolution of both houses of con-
gress providing for such investigation
Mr.. Thompson POINTED out that this
would virtually tie the hndS of the
commission as a joint resolution is
ver'- rare, if possible at all.
Under such a condition it would be
necessary to prove a corporation
guilty of a violation before an inves-
tigation could be started to prove it
an absurd situation.
Citizens are urged to note that the
men who denounce Capitalization and
paternalism in government never in
troduce legislation to check this ten
dency. On the contrary, they always
ivote for it.

Comment and Criticism
Observation-Disclosures

Figures compiled By a life insur-
ance company show that 5OOOO,OOo
Americans carry life insurance on
which they pay annual premiums
amounting to $4,000 900. The
policies have a valuation of $64,0OO,-
600, 600.
These are large figures, partcu-
larry interesting now that the Union
Labor Life Insurance Company i -
enter the field, insunng workers ara
whoever else may want to be insured.
It wound be interesting to nave the
figures about life insurance pfoiits.
Il doesn't appear that insurance com
panies are so anxious TO make those
figures public.
From all corners of the world We
now get warnings against the Com
munist machine and Communism. Inc
American Federation spoke It's mrs.
warning against Communism when the
Lenine rebellion destroyed the keren-
sky government during the World
War.
The American Federation Of Labor
has been at the job ever since, fight
| ing, warning, exposing.
One by one the forces of democracy
have fallen into line. The pioneering
work has borne its fruit There are
today but few sane persons who are
willing to listen to Communist twad-
die. There are more who understand
the menace of Communism and soviet
ism. But the fight is not ended, and
those who believe in democracy still
have to do guard duty, still have to
watch the Red pollution.
The National Civic Federation, en-
gagged in showing up bolsheviks, pub
fishes an address by Ralph NJ. Easley,
its secretary. In this address Mr.
Easley suggests to the friends of boil
shevims that a commission be appoint
ed to go over all the available ma
terial in the United State and then,
if they still deem it necessary, go to
Russia and see what is to be seen
there. He offers several names, some
to represent the pro-soylet side, some
to represent the American or civilized
side-admirable names throughout.
1t would be Illuminating and in
structive to have such a commission
follow the program suggested by Mr..
Easley. OF course, the bolsheviks will
suggest that he is laying a trap for
them-and to be sure, he is. Any
plan to get the truth before the peo-
pie is in reality laying trap for the
bOsheviks. That is the one thing
bolshevism can't stand.

Electric Lines Carry
II Times Number of
Steam Road Passengers

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-"Though gigan-
tic in size, in a sense we are but an
infant industry" Lucius S. Storrs,
managing director, the American
Electric Railway Association, says in
pointing out that electric lines last
year carried II times as many pas
sengers as the steam railroads.
"ln spite of this tremendous trans
portation obligation the electric rail
way industry is scarcely forty yeals
DID, he continued. Only 81 years
ago, the first complete and successful
overhead trolley line in the United
States began operating in Richmond
Va. When the Richmond Company
was organized, there were 10 electric
lines in the world which were making
more or less futile attempts to oper-
ate and their total ttackage was
about 60 miles.
There are today S57 electric lines
in the United States. They operate
cars over $4,000 miles of track and
their 100000 cars carry sixteen bill
lions of passengers annually. That
Is II times as many riders as the
steam railroads carry and great
many times the number of revenue
passengers carried by common carrier
buses
THE Federal census figures show
that electric railway riding is increas-
ing. In 1890, the average number Of
rides per person was 81 and in 1912
it was 100. In 1922, the last year for
which census figures are given, it
was lit.
Zone person out of every 100 in the
country is in the employ, either in
whole or in part, of an electric rail
way company, or has an investment
in it.
about $4,000, 100000 is invested in
electric railway securities and more
shan $4,OO0,OO00O0 additional in
plants for the manufacture of electric
railway supplies, making total of
about $l0,000,000 represented by
the industry"

SAFETY COACH
BUYS EN- OUT
Pendergrafts, Jordan, and Ern-

into One Concern With
3-Year Franchise
EVERY HOUR ON THE HOUR

One bus company, and one
only, now operates between
Chapel Hill and Durham. 1t is
the Safety Coach Line-the
same that has vehicles plying
between Charlotte on the west
and Beaufort on the coast.
1t has bought out the Pen
dergrafts, w. P. Jordan, and
Ernest and Dewey. Mr.. Jordan
has been employed as the Chap
ell Hill manager.

office and waiting room. Only
one automobile bus at time
will be parked at the curb.
Every hour on the hour
this is the schedule. When the
minute hand points to Il, from
8 A. NJ. to IL p. M. a car will
start from Chapel Hill for Dur
ham and from Durham for

the absorption of the three
Chapel Hill-Durham operators.
The purchase included two bus
ses of the Pendergrafts', two
busses and one touring car of
Mr.. Jordan's, and the three Ern-
est & Dewey touring cars.
Some of these will be put out
of commission soon, because the
company has ordered two 25-
passenger busses for the Chapel
Hill-Durham service. These have
left the factory and are expected
here almost any day.
In accordance with recent

COUNTY ATTACKS
CATTLE DISEASE
Commissioners Vote $1,000 to
Aid in Stamping Out Tuber-
culOsis; Quarantine Now
In Effect
TESTS TO BEGIN SEPT. 1ST

At their meeting in Hillsboro
Monday the commissioners OF
Orange county voted $1,000 as
the county's share of the cost
of stamping out. tuberculosis a.
mong cattle. The remainder OF
the entire estimated cost of
5000 is borne by the state and
federal governments.
DIR. A. A. Hussman, federal
veterinarian, and DR.. Charles S.
e Mangum, of the county board of
health, spoke in favor of the ap-
preparation. The commissioners
asked the people present at the
meeting, most of whom were
farmers, to express their opin-
ion. There were 81 votes for
the appropriation and l against.
The tests of the cattle in the
county will begin about the first
of September. Every cow that
is found to be diseased will be
slaughtered, and the owner will
receive an indemnity Of two
thirds of the value of the ami
NAL. The indemnity is paid by
the federal and state govern
ments. The fund voted by the
county goes to pay part of the
salary and expenses of the ex-
pert who conducts the tests.
Under the state law, now that
Orange has joined the "accredi-
ted" counties it is quarantined
against cattle from the "unac-
credited" counties. Chatham is
the only county contiguous to
Orange which has not joined in
the eradication Of bovine tuber-
culosis, but it is thought that
Chatham will soon take the
same action that the other
counties have taken.
When a COW comes into Or
ange henceforth from an "unac-
credited" county it must have a
certificate of health from a
qualified veterinarian.

Women War on Signs
Conducting a Campaign against De-
facement of the Highway

Working in cooperation with
the women of Chapel Hill, the
civic department of the Woman's
Club of Durham is prosecuting
an active campaign against ad-
vertising signs along the Chap
ell Hill-Durham highway. Mrs.
Satterfield, the chairman of the
committee, said this week that
she and her associates were re-
ceiving help from property own
ers, and this is enabling them
to diminish steadily the number
of signs.
A great many of the indivi-
duals and companies that put up
signs are "squatters." That is,
they have no authority from
the people who own the land.
They simply nail up their boards
on posts and trees without so
much as asking permission.
Land owners whose property is
so invaded have told the women
to go ahead and tear down the
signs.
At other places the bill board
rights have been sold. Where
this has happened, the only way
to get the signs off is through
appeal to the advertisers. The
Durham women, therefore, are
preparing to appeal to the mer-
chants of the city to desist from
defacing the highway.
A committee of Chapel Hill
women, headed by Mrs. w. s.
Bernard, embarked upon the
movement several months ago
going out as far as the Orange
Durham. line four miles from
here. They enlisted the aid of
the Boy Scouts, who went out
one day with their hatchets and
removed the signs from land
where the owners authorized
their removal.

lie OIldpcl I'LL SCHOOl, WHICH
was threatened with the loss of
some of its departments when
the county board of education
slashed the budget, will go ahead
with the same program that it
followed last year.
Home economics, agriculture,
and music-these activities, af-
ter the meeting of the county
board in June, seemed lost. But
they are all retained. Their re-
tention is made possible by:
first, the surrender by the teach
ers of the salary increases that
had already been decided upon,
ranging from $50 to 5000; sec
ond, the action of the county
commissioners, after consulta-
ton with the school authorities,
in increasing the appropriation
first made; and, third, by the
addition of about 81, 500 in tax
revenue, owing to the increase
in assessed valuations and the
increase in poll taxes.
The Junior High School
An important change in the
organization of the school next
year will be the Inauguration of
departmental work in the sixth
and seventh grades and the
lower section of the eighth
grade. This is, in effect, the es-
tablishment of a junior high
school.
Miss Harriet Bowen will be
the principal of the new unit,
and she will be assisted by Miss
Ola Andrews and Mrs. jamie
Stacy GWynn. AS Miss Stacy
she was dean of girls at Reds
vile last year. She was mar
ried to Minor Gwynn early in
the summer.
The advantage of the junior
high school is that it provides a
smoother and more gradual
transition from elementary to
high school instruction. 1t eases
the shock, as it were, for the
boy or girl who has been under
the care of a single teacher and
who must pass on up to the
level where different subjects
are taught by different teachers.

non, formerly OF LaurlnDufg,
enters the primary department.
Superintendent Is Encouraged
Superintendent Sides, just be-
fore he left town Monday for
a weeks vacation, said:
eve have every reason to be
encouraged at the outlook for
the school this coming year.
When the county board of
education told us early in June
that it was going to reduce our
budget by about $1,000, it
looked as if we would be badly
crippled. We thought we would
have to give up home econom-
les, music, and agriculture, all
three of which departments had
proved their value and had come
to be regarded as necessities by
the parents of the community.
'The unselfishness of the
teachers in giving up their sal
ary increases is worthy of high
praise. These increases were
thoroughly deserved, and indeed,
in some cases, amounted practi-
cally to a contractual obligation.
The teachers, acquainted with
the serious nature of our predi-
cament, agreed to work for the
salaries they had received last
year.
"And the county commission
ers did all they could to meet
our demands. We have not
failed to realize the difficulties
they face. They have a deficit
to wipe out, and in order to &C
complish this they have been
compelled to raise the tax rate.
1t was impossible for them to
grant the school all that we
thought we ought to have.
"They have appropriated
81 400 of the amount needed to
retain the two agriculture
teachers. Mr.. Harris, hence
forth, will do most of his out
side work in the northern end
of the county, while Mr.. Single
ton will operate in the southern
end.
Miss Aiken and Mrs. Will
liams will stay on as music
teachers, and Miss Rebecca
Markham will continue her sue
cessful conduct of the training
in home economics. We are
sorry to lose some of our teach
ers, but fortunately we have
been able to get well qualified
teachers to succeed them"
