A meeting of 5000 North Carolina
World war veterans ended Monday
night in an attempt to mob a
speaker who sought to defend the
opposition of Henry L. Stevens Jr.,
national commander of the Amer

A veteran from Warsaw. N. c.,
Stevens home town, arose to defend
his fellow townsman. Several other
veterans attempted to pull him
from the speakers platform.
AT least two pistols and a bot
tie were brandishe6 in a threaten
ing manner, police who rescued the
veteran said. The identity of the
speaker was unknown. He was re-
moved to safety by police and the

father in Composing Room.
D. J. MCCarty Advanced.

William H Mclean, grandson of
The Stars first composing room
foreman and son of another Star
foreman, has been appointed foreman
of the composing room of The Star, to
succeed Joseph c. Whyte, recently
retired.
David j. McCarty, whose father was
foreman Of The Stars stereotype room,
has been promoted to assistant day
foreman of the composing room.
1t is of interest in this connection to
note that The Stars night foreman,
Ralph H. Prescott, also is the son of a
former composing room employe, Guy
L. Prescott
Mr.. Mclean entered the service Of
The Star as an apprentice printer on
August 81, 1897, and has been
employed in the composing room
continuously since then, except for a
period of seven months in 1912. He IS
married and resides at 5209 Thirteenth
street.
Richard A. Mclean, father of the
present foreman was foreman for a
quarter of century. He died in 1915.
His father, William r. Mclean, was in
charge of the force of printers that
published the first issues of THE Daily
Evening Star" in 1852. He continued
as foreman for many years.
Mr.. McCarty's father, Thomas Nc
Carly, was an employe of The Star
for more than 30 years. He died "a
years ago Dave McCarty joined
The Star as a messenger boy in 1898,
leaving in 1903 to learn the printers
trade on the outside. He returned to
The Star as a printer in 1907 and has
been in the composing room ever since.
Mr.. Prescott's father was appointed
as linotype operator in 1888 and he
remained in the service for more than
90 years.

All coffee contains a delicate

delicious. But, in a COMPARE

MANY are puzzled as to what
1V4 induced DELPHI McKeSSon,
Democratic floor leader, on one day
to lead the fight to pass the bill
setting the maximum levy on real
property at $1.50 and few days
later to seek to amend another bill
to nullify the action of the former.
The reason is explained best by
the single word, strategy"
just as when in war the high
command INDUCES in what is
termed strategy, whether it is sue
cessful or otherwise, so does a po-
litical high command seek to exer-
else the same form of mental gym
nastics.
McKesson's original plan was two
fold.
First, because the Democratic
platform for the coming campaign
pledges a $3.50 maximum IF pos
sible,' it was necessary to follow
in the tracks of the Republican SEN
ate, which passed the measure, and
do likewise.
Second, if the maximum arbi-
trarily is placed at $3.50, new
sources of revenue must be tapped.
Like many of the outstanding stu
dents of governmental economics,
McKesson is a firm believer in the
personal and corporate income tax,
because it is levy on earning
power.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-08-12

1t seemed to him that enactmentS
of the $3.50 law would make it be
absolutely necessary for the Repub-
hcan senate to recede from its posi-
ton against the income tax and
pass the house measure.
But, evidently quite oblivious of
the precarious position in which the
tax limitation law had placed state
finances and all subordinate gov
ernmental units, the senate refuses
to pass the income tax bill.
Some members say they will vote
for levy on personal earnings, but,
holding true to their doctrine of
protection for the vested interests,
they are opposed to that on corpo-
rationS.
AS a substitute, they propose a
sales taxa levy on the buyers
which means additional heavy bur-
dens on the small wage Garner with
out cutting appreciably into the in
come of the wealthy.
There is little possibility of sales
tax passing.
Recognizing that this strategy had
gone awry, McKesson sought to
nullify the $3.50 law.
True, the farmers seeking to es-
cape from the heavy tax burden
believe this act to be their salvation.
They give no thought, however, to
the fact that to meet budgets it will
be necessary for all units to make
large loans which must be repaid
through future levieS.
