PARTY POLICY
ASSAILED BY
DEMO CHIEF

WASHINGTON, Sept. II. -tF1-
A sharp difference Of opinion over
tax revision at the next session Of
congress is held by administration
republicans.
This was emphasized yesterday
when Sen. Watson OF Indiana, the
republican floor leader, declared at
the White House that he vas OPP
posed TO. a revision at this time.
His view on how to meet the
treasury deficit this year differed
from the revision proposals Of
Sen. Reed Of Pennsylvania. and
Rep. Bacharach OF New Jersey,
also administration followers.
Raps New Burdens
At the same time, Sen. Har-
rison, Of Mississippi, ranking dem
ocrat on the finance committee
said in a statement through the
democratic national committee
that of all times this Is the worss
ior men in high places to talk
about increasing burdens upon the
American public"
Sen. Watson said 1t would be q
mistake TO attempt to revise the
revenue system at the next ses-
sion, because, he added. II would
have an unsettling influence upon
business generally.
The difference OF opinion wa:
voiced while President Hoover i
studying the problem OF whether
to recommend a change in the
revenue system or to continue the
treasury practice Of borrowing
money through long term bono
issues and short term financing
to meet the deficit created by de-
Ginning receipts and growing ex'
penditures.
Sen. Reed Is sponsoring a gen.
eral tax OF one-hafl of n pei
cent upon all sales of commodities
He said If no additional revenue
was forthcoming we must ther
put our foot down on the farm
board. on any further appropria'
tions for s~tabillzing operations
and we must say no to the Amer

Not BurdensOme!

F., Josephus Daniels made an ad-
dress to the Wake County Tax
payers Association last Satur-
day. He listed the sources from
which he said the state could
obtain the $2Q,O00,000 a year
required for the support of the
six-months school term in the
100 counties.
Part of the $2O,O00,0OO was to
be the $4,8OO,O00 cut from all
public salaries on the recommen-
dation of the Governor:
We presume the report of the
address printed in Mr.. Daniels
own paper is correct, and we
cite this passage:
Here is the money sufficient
to carry on the six-months
school for the whole state, with
no tax on any individual or in
dustry that will be burdensome."
Ask the man who it getting
$4,000 a year whether or not he
thinks a subtraction of $3.50
would be burdensome.

Comments S
The Governors Message

Inc GOVernOT message
Governor Gardner's message
to the legislature is an able docu-
ment. 1t reflects a thorough
study of the states problems,
and every line of it breathes a
deep feeling Of the responsibility
of leadership. Although we do
not agree with some Of the Gov
ernor's recommendations, we ad-
mire the directness and force
with which he presents his
views and we believe that most
of his advice is sound. He is
particularly convincing in what
he has to say about the states
penal policy, the need for a Con-
stitutional convention, the work
mems compensation act, and the
advisability of reorganizing the
state government through the
introduction of the short ballot
and the Encouragement and
merging of departments.

Hill Monday afternoon. He
moved up the main street in a
resplendent red-and-gold cage,
mounted on an automobile truck,
preceded by a motorized steam
piano which made more noise
than anything Chapel Hill had
ever heard except the municipal
fire-alarm Below. The process
sion halted in front of the Caro-
lima Theatre.
The trainer, clad in a red suit
with gold trimmings, addressed
the crowd from the rear end of
the piano car, telling all about
Leo, making grateful acknowl-
edgments to the Model Market
for giving the lion 25 pounds of
raw meat, and conseling all per-
sons not to miss Reducing" the
greatest picture ever produced,
etcetera, at the Carolina that
evening.
After his speech the trainer
entered Leo's cage, made him sit
on a stool, and teased him with
a whip, while the crowd pressed
against the walls of the cage and
looked on in awe and delight.
There were extra walls of glass
supplementing the steel bars.
Leo has toured over North
America and Mexico. He is
booked to travel through Europe,
Asia, Australia, Africa, and

will cover a period of seven years
