ECONOMIC REVIVAL
PLANNED BY STATE
North Carolina Considers
Il fsn-'Iear Proposal to
Increase Its Wealth.
By G. D. UPHAM.

A i0-year plan for North Carolina
for the economic rehabilitation of the
State and TO bring about a greater rev.
enue for the public treasury while pro-
viding relief for taxpayers has been
outlined by Tyre Taylor, executive
counsel for the State. Combining plans
for industrial betterment, agricultural
improvement and social and cultural
achievements, 1t is attracting the in
terest Of ofhcials of other States and
OF the National Government.
The total bonded Indebtedness Of
North Carolina. cities and counties in
Guided, according to Mr.. Taylor. is
$3.50 900. 900, or $l83 per capita, or 1915
per family of five. The total tax bill
OF the State is 500, 900 900 annually, or
$32 per capita or $3.50 per family OF
five.
Average Wealth.
The average per capita wealth of
citizens Of North Carolina Is l.64O, a
little over half Of the 5000 per cap
ita wealth of the average American
With a taxable wealth only slightly
In excess Of the national average, North
Carolina has the largest per capita pub
lie debt Of any State save one.
Farmers, both landowners and ten
ants, are not making enough to pay
North Carolina can achieve a better
balanced and more widely diffused pros
perity, says Mr.. Taylor. industry Is
going to be called upon to bear a bur-
den of taxation which is not only dis
proportionate. but which will drive it
from the State. The State, he main
tains, literally and absolutely cannot"
continue to pay s100.000,0O0 a year in
taxes under the economic conditions
now prevailing
The first point in Mr.. Taylor's 10
year plan Is to make North Carolina
the most beautiful State in the
Union, to attract greater tourist
trade. Extensive tree planting, land
scaping and painting, with elimina-
ton Of billboards, would be made the
concern OF women's clubs and civic
organiZa tons
The propagation of fish and game
would be given attention under the
plan. So would reforestation. first
veloped. Outdoor sports and outdoor
life generally would be promoted.
Economic Crusade"
Scientific research directed along in
dustrial lines, similar to that which
has found slash pine to be good ma
terial for white paper, and cotton
W COIlCdul Ille DdSlC IndUSIldl OF
Rayon would have an important place
Marketing and distribution problems
would be attacked by experts. Every
newspaper. radio station, pulpit, plat
form, institution, organization and
agency in the State would be called
upon Ito make common cause in an
economic crusade
North Carolina will never again be
Satisfied. this 10-year planner declares,
with hopeless and inferior civilization
and way of life.
Ten glorious years of progress and
constructive achievement have given
us a new vision and a new standard
OF civic and cultural values Mr.. Tay-
lor says. Our old inferiority complex
generation which has never become
reconciled to despair, has grown up

BOND ISSUES FIRM
IN UPWARD TREND
Foreign Dollar Obligations
Irregular as Credit Con-
ference Continues. !
BY F. II. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, July 2l.-Domestic
bonds were firm and the rails generally
higher today. while foreign dollar bonds
had an irregular trend.
The dullness of trading was attribut-
able to the fact that no definite news
was forthcoming from London, where
the seven powers are considering Ger
many's credit problems. London advices
indicated that no huge credit would be
granted to Germany at present. 1t was
thought that agreement would be
reached on an immediate but moderate
sized loan to Germany, conditional on
hsr maintaining the present drastic
financial control, and that the question
OF long-term loan of important dimen-
sionS would be left to all Autumn meet
ing Of the powers.
Sentiment was helped by half-year
earnings reports that were better than
expected and by an increasing convic-
ton in the Street that the Interstate
Commerce Commission will grant some
freight rate increase to the railroads
Junior railroad bonds, such as Frisco
4l2s, Missouri Pacific SIS, Erie SIS. st.
Paul IS, International Great Northern
adjustments, Denver g. Rio Grande
Western SIS, Western Maryland As, Ale
ghany SIS and many other second-grade
rail issues were point or more higher
Rising prices for sugar. some metals
and few other commodities brought
strength into the industrial list. There
was some activity in low-grade sugar
company issues. such as Cuban-Domin-
lean Sugar z IS and Warner Sugar rs,
and fractional advances in high-grade
issues. among them American Sugar
Refining 6s. Other industrials to gain
included Shell Union Oil SIS, Richfield
Oil IS, Goodyear SIS, Armour of Della
ware l2s and American l. G. Chemical
5l2s. In the utility group International
Telephone issues were strong with the
stock.
The foreign department sagged
though there was fairly good bidding
below the market for many widely de-
pressed issues by the governments whose
obligations are at bargain prices. Ger

BY CARLTON A. SHIvELY.
cisl Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpatcn TO Inc otaT-
NEW YORK, July Z1.-Wan Street
is beginning to find out in the best pos
sible manner just how poor business
was in the second quarter and in the
First six months of the year. Reports
on earnings, as required to be published
by the Stock Exchange, railroad and
public utility governing bodies, or volun-
tarily, are now appearing in large num-
Der.
For the half year declines are gen.
eral and substantial. but contrary TO
anxieties of a short time ago, many of
the leading industrial companies did
moderately we'll in the second three
months. Much of the gain was, of
course, seasonal. Its discovery Is prov
ing to be none the less cheering.
Railroads Fare Worst.
Railroads have Jared the worst of
any industry. Only few carriers have
to date published gross and net earn
ings for June, but the record of car
loadings, the indication OF such re-
ports as have been received, and the
trend of revenue during the first five
months, which already have been pub
lished, make estimates fairly easy,
Nothing occurred in June to change
expectation of net railway operation in
come at level approximately 40 per
cent under that for the first half year
Of 1880, itself rather a poor period.
This decline In net has come about with
fall of 20 per cent in gross income,
operating expenses naturally rising with
a decline in volume of freight and pas
senger traffic. AS pointed out in de-
tail at the hearings before the commits
sion on higher freight rate applications,
only few roads will be able this year
to earn anything for their common
shareholders.
Only few public utility companies
have reported. The utilities were the
outstanding feature of the early part
Of 1880, but their earnings this year
have reflected the trade depression to
some extent. In the case of American
Telephone, total earnings were higher
than last year, but the net for each
share of common stock was smaller be-
cause of the larger number of shares
outstanding Western Union earned
moderately less than a year ago.
Among industrials, those groups OF
companies in industries which have
been floundering in depression of a
special character, such as copper. sugar
and oil, present rather sorry picture
Railroad equipment companies have had
almost no nourishment this year, due
to tightening railroad purse strings, but
that group is sparSely settled.
Steel Companies.
Steel companies formed one of the
few groups to fare worse in the second
quarter than in the first, even in rela-
ton to a seasonal mild decline. and
their six months earnings were sharply

fundamental beliefs which are deep- ly roote din our political life.
 These people regard it as "an un- warranted interference with the in- dividuars personal liberty" he said.
 Another obstacle to observance and enforcement, he said, is the structure of the amendment itself, in directly extending the police power of the federal government rather than giving congress power to deal with the situation as it sees fit. Under the plan he proposes, the amendment would be changed to give congress power to regulate the liquor traffic.
 Control would then be vested in a bipartisan national commission sim- liar to the interstate commerce com mission. Liquor would be manufac- tured and sold by national and state corporations through official stores, and only to persons who held license books.
 Profits of the corporations would be limited, the excess to go to the federal treasury.
 Any state would have the option as to whether it would adopt the new system or continue prohibition.

 Impeached

"clearly and explicitly" against one person holding legislative, executive and judicial positions at the same time and called upon the members of the general assembly to obey their oath to support the constitution.
 One resolution called for the im- peachment of Johnson as assistant attorney-general and the other az judge of the Manchester town court.
 Kimmell, a school teacher and graduate student of government a. Yale, encountered technical dfffi- culty in getting his resolutions be- fore the house due to the fact he had not prepared them formally. After he had delivered what amount ed to a verbal resolution of impeach- ment, Speaker Howard Alcorn de- clared him out of order. Kimmell insisted upon the matter being re- ferred to committee and threatened to filibuster until the such action was taken.
 The tilt ended with the agreement of Kimmel to write resolutions ana on motion of Representative Ray mond E. Baldwin, republican, Strat- ford. the house adjourned for five minutes to give Kimmell an oppor- tunity to prepare his measures.
 Kimmell issued a statement in which he declared Johnson was violating an important principle Of our fundamental law" He asserted "yerv real dangers" are likely to re- suit from allowing persons to occupy positions under two or more or the functions O" government. .,
 "Such a system," said K1mmeil, ''makes possible the exercise of an undue influence over a member or the general assebmly while appoint ing ov refusing to appoint him to Lucrative office.
 "Furthermore, the practice is dan gerous as means Of supporting professional politicians whose prime interest is not always the public in- terest."
 He declared the impeachment mot a partisan measure" because, he explained. "the principle is the same" whether democrats or re- publicans are in power. The action lis not a personal attack on MT Johnson but is an attack on a sys- tenn" he said.
 Johnson is house majority leader and house chairman of the Judiciary committed.
 After a lengthy debate, the meas ure was defeated on a rising vote, Kimmell being the only one to SUD- port his measure.
 At the beginning of the discrs- sion. Johnson left the hall and Rep resentative Baldwin became acting majority leader.
 Kimmell asked the measure be referred to special committee ap- pointed by the speaker and moved passage of the bill.
 Minority Leader William M. Cit- ron. Middlctown, informed demo- crats the bill was not a party meas ure and cautioned them to "vote as your conscience dictates"
 Baldwin apd Rep Epaphroditus Peck. Bristol judge. explained an amendment to article second defined the judiciary as federal appointees and superior and supreme court judges. Peck declared 1t was not in the power of the house to impeach.
 When the vote was taken. Kim nell uttered the only aye. An ova- ton. followed Johnson's return to the house.

 But the Democrat has learned di- rectly from the governors offics that these reports are entirely un- founded and without any authority.
 Governor Cross has made no agree
 ment with the republican chieftaus
 and intends to make none. He demonstrated this fact yes- terday when he named two demo- crats and one republican for posts. He nomtrated George J. Bassett, Lester Shipee as banking commis-
 sioner. He nominated Charles l.. Morris of Newtown for aviation com missioner tc succeed Clarence d.
 Knox, republican. Mir Morris is a democrat. Governor Cross nominal ed State Finance Commissioner Ed ward r. Hall, a republican, to suc- ceed himself.
 Therefore, yesterdays nominations showed that Governor Cross .s starting right off and adopting the
 republican policy that has been i:l Connecticut for years and years
 that of demanding the "hoS 2 share"
 However, the stand of the gover-
 nor means that the battle is on.
 In the first place the republicans , will approve of Bassett for bank commissioner and Hall for finance commisslc ner but will oppose Morris
 for aviation commissioner. They will back Knox,
