LET THEM CELEBRATE

While the desire of Mr.. Hoover for an lnaugu-
ration devoid of pompt and circumstance IS nat
ural for man of his practical type of mind, the
people of Washington are not in accord withe the
idea of simplicity in inaugurations, first put for
ward by President Wilson
In fact, according to press reports, they are IN
open revolt against quiet, colorless Inauguration
and civic organizations of Washington threaten
to have celebration of their own, whether the
government takes part in it or not. =.
Of course, there is nothing to prevent the clt!-
zens of the capital city from staging any 1estl-
with the official ceremonies, besides it is doubtful
that Mr. Hoover would refuse to give some recog-
milton to such an event, even though he did not
really favor it.

N. c. Claimed For Hoover

Chairman Brownlow Jackson will
visit the congressional districts in
North Carolina where the G. O. P.
board of strategy plans to lay down
its heaviest barrage in anticipation
OF a victory for Herbert Hoover in
November, it was announced in
Asheville last week. This change in
policy, the attitude of state Repub-
lican officials heretofore being that
of marking time. is believed to have
been influenced by the same factors
that moved Senator Moses to retract
his position of hopelessness in regard
to the solid south and announce that
the battle for Hoover votes would be
carried into Dixie by Republican
campaigneTs.
81 am perfectly confident that we
will carry North Carolina for Mr..
Hoover" Mr.. Jackson is quoted as
saying. 1--WE have a great many
friends among the old line Demo-
Gratis this time who are going to see
that we get fair count and the re-
suit is going to be close but it will
be a republican victory"

3 Amendments To Be
Voted On This Fall
: ne Authorizes Classification of All
Property for Taxation; Provide
20 Solicitorial Districts; and In
creased Pay for Legislators

When North Carolina voters go to
the polls on November 6, they will be
called upon to determine the fate Of
three proposed amendments to the
constitution, as we'll as to decide
the Smith and Gardner column or
the Hoover and Seawel! rank.
One of the proposals would au-
thoriZe the general assembly to clas-
sify all forms Of property foT taxa
ton purposes, another Wo.,lI aucno-
rize the creation of 20 soicit3-i ial
districts in the state separate and
distinct from the present judicial cir
cults, and the third would increase
the pay of members of the legisla
ture from the present compensation
of $4G0 for per session to $500.
Involved in the tax classification
amendment is the proposal to au-
thorize the lawmaking body to levy
taxes on intangibles. The proposed
amendment specifies that the rate Of
taxation on real and personal prop.
erty shall be uniform within the
territorial limits of the authority
levying the tax" but that 'intang-
ible persopal property may be classi-
fed by the general assembly, which
shall prescribe a uniform rate OF tax
throughout the state for each class"
If approved, this amendment
would repeal section nine of article
VII of the constitution which speci-
fies that all taxes levied by counties,
towns or townships shall be on an
ad valOrem basis, and would pre-
scribe that laws shall be passed
taxing all real and personal proper
ty, including moneys, bonds, notes,
investments in stock, according to its
true value in money"
Proposals looking toward taxation
of the so-called intangibles have
been advanced from time to time in
the Legislature in recent years. only
to meet defeat each time.
One argument advanced in sup
port Of the proposal to make solici-
torial districts independent Of the
circuits, in each of which at present
a judge and solicitor are elected, is
that additional Judges can then be
appointed as necessary to handle
congested docllets, without tic ne
cessity of adding a solicitor for ev-
cry added judge. Efforts in the last
two general assemblies to provide
for more judges have been opposed
on the ground that it could not be
done without creating new solicitor
shins which, it was argued, were un-
necessary and would greatly increase
the costs of the judiciary
The amendment to increase the
pay Of Legislators has been before
the voters a number of times in one
form or another during recent years.
but it has never mustered the neces-
sary popular vote for passage.

Hoover Plans Call
For Few Speeches
Only Three or Four Trips Will Be
Made by Republican Nominee to
Keep Campaign "Dignified"; Will
Stay in Washington Most of Time

Stanford University, Calf, Aug 5.
Unless the party managers are
able to dissuade him from his pur-
pose, Herbert Hoover will make only
three or four more trips during his
campaign for the presidency.
There will be no "swings around
the CIRCLE" it was stated officially
here today, and the trips will be
brief with only few speeches. This
is in line with the determination of
the Republican candidate to refrain
from an attempt at ballyhoe and
keep his campaign upon dignified
plane.
The future journeys will be made
with Washington as the base of oper-
ations, the candidate remaining there
most of his time, so as to be in close
touch with national headquarters.
1t was reiterated that only one set
speech will be made on the return to
Washington from here-that at
Hoover's birthplace at West Branch.
In that address the candidate will
give particular attention to the agri-
cultural questions, dealing largely
with what he regards as the indirect
rather than the direct, means of aid
ing the farmers. He feels that not
enough stress has been laid upon this
side of the problem, aside from which
he regards as of high Importance.

Kraft Cheese Industry
Is Promising in Ashe
Plant Recently Opened at West JEFF
ferson is Receiving Daily More
Mi k Than Amy Like Plant in the
South; To Collect Milk in Watauga

Mr.. F. r. Farnham, of the state
department of agriculture, was in
the city Friday on his return to
Bristol from survey of the cheese
industry of Ashe and adjoining coun-
ties. Only recently the Kraft Cheese
Company opened a small plant al
West Jefferson and Mr. Farnham is
very optimistic over tire future Of
this new branch of TIE cheese in
dustry in this section. On last
Thursday 1000 pounds of milk were
delivered to this new factory, which
isf by far the largest amount ever
assembled in western Carolina. Two
hundred and fifty farmers are inter
ested in the the enterprise and nine
motor trucks are being used to col
lect the surplus milk, which is paid
for according to the content of but
ter fat, the average price being
equivalent to 20 cents per gallon.
With the completion of Highway
SO, Mr.. Farnham says milk will be
collected for the Kraft plant all the
way to Boone and that indications
are that receipts will soon reach the
10000 gallon mark. The promoters
expect to pretty thoroughly cover
Ashe, Allegheny and Watauga coun-
ties. More milk has been received at
the West Jefferson plant, says Mr..
Farnham, than at any Kraft cheese
plant yet opened in the south. This
is due in large measure, he says,
to hard times" whcih have stirred
the farmers to the highest pitch of
cooperation in the enterprise.
