APATHETIC ABOUT
FIRE PROTECTION
People Who Live Beyond Town
Limits Are Inactive in a
Dangerous Situation
MAY BE SORRY SOME DAY

1t looks as if the old saying
about locking the stable door
after the horse has gone may be
applicable, some day, to the sit
uation of Chapel Hills suburb
antics with regard to fire pro-
lection.
The Kenfeld home was de-
stroyed two or three years ago
while the firemen with their
truck stood at the towns boun-
Diary line few hundred yards
away. They had received or
ders not to go outside of the town
except by permission from the
mayor or the town manager.
Both of these officials happened
to be away, and by the time AL
derman P. l.. Burch had been
reached on the telephone, and
had told them to go on and put
the fire out, it was too late.
How many more houses do the
suburbaniteS want to see burned
down before they get together
and arrange for some sort of fire
fighting service?
The Southern Underwriters
regulations, upon which the in
surance rates in Chapel Hill are
based, require the truck to be
kept within the corporate linn
its. Moreover, there are no ade-
quate water mains running INTO
the outlying residential districts.
The people who dwell there,
however, could provide for a
service with chemical apparatus,
When they obtained estimates
soon after the kentield calamity
they found that small automo-
bile truck with chemical tank
would cost more than 81 900. But

Credit Association
Meets Next Week
One of Organization's Functions Is
Handling of Bad Checks

The business men of the vii
lage are to hold a meeting at
T 80 next Thursday evening, at
the bank, to perfect the opera
tion Of the recently organized
Chapel Hill Credit Association.
There are now 80 members, and
more are coming in.
Thus far the activities Of the
organization have to do only with
collecting information about
credit ratings, for the benefit of
the members, and with the hand
ling Of bad checks, but the
movement may lead to the for
nation of d merchants ass0cla-
ton which will consider all man
ner of problems relating to the
commercial life Of the c0mmun-
ity
The passing Of bad checks by
students became such a nuisance
a year or SO ago that the Uni
versity undertook to check it.
The dean of students and the
student council inaugurated a
system whereby merchants re-
ported upon all checks returned
to them unpaid by the banks,
and the signers of the checks
were required to make them
good.
The budget cut made it i'm
possible for the University to
pay for all necessary clerical as
sistance, and so, last fall, the job
was turned over to the Credit
Association.
Nearly 500 checks to the total
face value of about $4,000 were
returned unpaid to Chapel Hill
business last month and this
month. A student employed by
the association came to the sec
retary's Office every day, exam
ined the list turned in by the
merchants, and notified the
signers. Most of the checks
have now been made good.
About sixth of the checks
were drawn upon banks that
closed after the checks were
made out. The majority were
returned because of mo funds
or insufficient funds" The
trouble about bad checks seems
to be due chiefly to the fact that
students either do not know
when they have enough money
on deposit or draw checks in the
expectation of augmenting their
deposits before the checks are
presented for payment.
Discipline is administered by
the University to students who
do not make good their checks.

Madness" Huston's performance is
one Of the finest he has yet brought
to the screen, in the opinion of this
reviewer comparable in its acting
quality with his memorable portrayal
of Abraham Lincoln.
But it is the fast-moving suspense,

World Telegram DenOWnces Tam

By Scripps-Hotodrd Newspaper Alliance
NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-The New
York World Telegram editorially
denounced the Tammany Demo-
cratic leadership today for side
tracking Mayor Joseph v. Mckee
and nominating Surrogate John P.
O'Brien, special friend of John F.
Curry" for mayor.
The newspaper calls on the Re-
publicans to nominate Mckee and
rally independent Democrats to his
support on a fusion ticket.
The editorial characterized the
city convention at which OBrien
was nominated as democracy of
this city turned into a mockery and
farce"
The elimination of James ].
Walker is, of course, another defeat
for Boss Curry and a boon to the
city" the editorial said.
But the passing over of Mayor
Joseph v. Mckee because Tam
many can not stomach his economy
program, and because Boss Curry
fears too much influence for the
Bronx organization, is a grievous
wrong to the city and blot on the
city democracy"

WASHINGTON, Oct 8.-Survey
Of fourteen representative cities in
Tdicates that public treasuries-city,
state and national-haye been
carrying three-fourths of the I'M
employment relief burden since the
q depression began.
Large cities generally are turning
to the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration for aid in feeding, clothing
and sheltering the destitute this
winter.
Relief plans of ten of the fourteen
cities included finance corporation
funds in their aid programs.
Recourse to federal funds is ac-
companied by indications that pri-
vate charity is weakening under the
long depression strain.
Millions Are Spent
Finance corporation funds are re-
CURED by Pittsburgh, Philadelphia.
Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, Cleve-
. land, Birmingham, Los Angeles, st.
Louis and Kansas City Jackson
county,.
The other cities in the survey are
Los Angeles, New York, New Or
leans, San Francisco and Boston.
Since the depression began these
fourteen cities have spent approx
mately 1924, 100000 to aid the des-
Stitute. OF this sum, private char
lty has contributed approximately
$70000000. This latter figure takes
no account, however, of neighbor-
shood assistance.
The aggregate public and private
winter relief budget of these cities
Is Sll0, 100000, plus the New York
City budget, which has not been
fixed.
New York has spent approx
mately S84,OOO0OO, of which SOL
100000 was raised privately. The
hheaviest burden is expected this
winter.
Much From Private Sources
One-fourth Of Chicago's SAC, SOC, 900
~relief expenditure has come from
private sources. This winter and
next year will require about $40
100000 for relief.
~ Pittsburgh has raised $4,000 900,
of which $2,5OO,OOO was from pri-
vate sources. Philadelphia has
spent $270000O0. The city is bank
.rupt About $4,000 families need aid
there.
Boston has spent sol 100000 so
far and needs 100000 this win
ter. The trend there. as in many
settles, is away from private charity
and toward public treasures for re-
lief funds.

35-Year-Old Millionaire
Is CALIFORNIA; Wet Hope
TalIant TubbS CoIorfuI Fig-
ure in Battle for u. S.
Senator.

BIZ Scripps-HoWdrd Newspaper Alliance
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. "A IS
year-old millionaire clubman, carry
ing high the banner of repeal, is
CALIFORNIA; wet hope against two
drys in bitter three cornered fight
for the senatorship.
He is Tallant Tubbs, who sur
prised the political old-timers in
August by Selling the Republican
nomination from the veteran Hoo
verite, Senator Sam Shortridge.
Tubbs, opposing William Gibbs
McAdoo (Dem) and the Rev. Bob
Shuler, prohibitionist, is marshall
ing liberal elements all over the
Hoover state. in what is conceded
to be a close contest in which any
of the trio might win.
The political career of young
Tubbs has been one of the strang-
est in the country, even compared
with those of rich youngsters like
j. Trubee Dawson, Ogden Mills,
Wild Bill Donovan and others, who
have followed the call to Office
recently.
In 1924, Tubbs simply was one of
this city's -Four Hundred, son of a
big cordage manufacturer, hand
some bachelor and Yale man, a po-
tential great catch for ambitious
debutantes. In a gathering of po-
litically minded friends one day he
announced he wanted to become a
state senator.
First Elected at ~
"Tall," remarked one of them,
where do you live?"
AT the Pacific Union Club he
answered. This is the city's most
exclusive millionaire rendezvous.
We'll" laughed his friend, they
aren't electing senators from that
club"
Then I'll move" countered Tai
Next day he moved into the dis
trict of one Of the states best in
trenched pro-corporation state sem
ators He then took on a manager
and publicity man and pitched in
He attacked this senator's record
promised to work for light wines
and beer, spoke for veterans legis-
lation. He had been a flier in the
war.
No one took him seriously. The
incumbent only laughed. But Tubbs
won, and, at the age of q, took his
seat at Sacramento, the youngest
senator ever to be elected in the
state.
The corporations expected him to
vote for them and their measures
But he voted for labor as often as
against it.
He became the veterans spokes-
man and chairman of important
committees. Chiefly, he was plug
ging for new deal in prohibition
Campaign Methods Simple
In 1928 he ran as wet for
Governor, polling 1885,
900 votes. This summer he took on
Shortridge and four other candi-
dates, and again his chief plank was
repeal.
TubbS' campaign methods are
simple. He pays his own way out
of his deep and ample pocket. He
f1yS from town to town in his own
airplane, an autogyro that permits
him to land in the town square.
He talks over the radio. Chiefly
he talks repeal.
His views on other matters more
closely conform to those of Senator
Hiram Johnson than to those of the
Hoover wing of the party.
johnson is expected to indorse
him. So will liberal newspapers of
the state. If he wins against the
near-dry McAdoo or the very-dry
Methodist Shuler, the vets will have
another aggressive spokesman.

HEAR MAURER
IN TALK HERE
Capitalism Is Blamed for
Depression by Socialist
Vice-President Choice.

Blame for the depression was
placed on capitalism as expressed
by the Democratic and Republican
parties, by James H. Maurer, So
cialist candidate for Vice-President,
speaking in Cadle tabernacle Friday
night to an audience of 1000.
Socialism stands for private own
ership of private property" he as
serted, land for public ownership
of those things necessary to mans
existence. Under Socialism you
would own your own home, your
automobile, your radio and your
piano, the things you live with"
But we believe in public own
ership of public utilities, railroads,
mines. If the Socialist party should
get into power it would take over
those and related industries and
run them for the service of the
people, and would meet this emer-
gency as the government met the
emergency of the last war by tax
ing ONCI ll1C Idl4l OdIlos
High Tariff AssaiIed
Maurer raped the present high
tariff.
every since I knew anything, y
he said, "the old parties have been
fighting over the tariff, and it seems
about as far from solution now as
when I came on the scene.
President Hoover recounted the
benefits of the tariff to the farmer
in his recent Iowa address. Several
years ago the farmer was getting
three times as much for his wheat
under much lower tariff rates. If
they raised the tariff still further,
as some political leaders suggest, I
suppose according to that the farm
er wouldn't get anything for his
wheat"
After Depression, What?
He asserted he was addressing
crowds this year several times as
large as those he met on a tour
four years ago.
The farmers and small business
men and white-collar workers
would not listen to us then" he said.
They had the idea that we wanted
to divide up. But they are listen
ing now"
Maurer predicted there probably
would be approximately 100000 I'M
employed in the United States after
the depression has passed.
He described numerous instances
of machines attended by one man
doing work formerly done by scores
and hundreds.
Keep the machine" he said, "but
make it serve all of us, and not
simply pile up profits for a few"
Unemployment Held Issue
Maurer was introduced by For
rest Wallace of Veedersburg, So
cialiSt candidate for United States
senator, following a short talk by
Ed Henry, state secretary of the
party.
Mary D. Hapgood, candidate for
state representative and wife of
Powers Hapgood, candidate for Gov
ernor, stated that the one issue OF
the campaign is unemployment.
There is no overproduction," she
declared, "the trouble is undercon-
sumption. The workers can not
buy back what they produce. Work
eres produce $4,000, 900, 900 worth Of
products annually and receive in
wages only $11,OOO,0OOO OO."
