has balanced budget for the
first time in four years, Is due
more than anything else to
Burke's insistcncc upon the strict
est economy in the expenditure
of state funds and in the main
tcnance of the principle of a bal
anccd budget, regardless Of how
much elected state officials and
employees may Squawk. 1t is init
mated that these bankers have
limited that if Burke goes, North
Carolina may not be able to re-
new any more notes at 5 per
cent, and that it thus will not
be able to save some $4,000 a
month or 100000 a year in inter-
est on some $5,000,000 worth of
short term notes.
Most Of the members Of the
general assembly want Burke to
stay, for they arc convinced that
Burke has done as much, if not
more, than any one else to hold
down expenditures and conserve
the states tax money.
Most of the taxpayers Of the
state want Burke to stay, because
they realize that if it had not
been for Burke and the steps he
recommended, the states deficit
would now be between $35. 000,-
600 and $dO,O00,000 instead Of
$12,500,000.
But no one knows what the
governor wants or what he will
say.

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN
By Ike Walton, Redivivus

At the age of SO, Alexander
the Great died in Babylon and
his empire went to pieces.
Alexander was drunk.
At the age Of about so, Ma
poleon Bonaparte decided to IN
wade Russia, from which he came
back a beaten man.
Napoleon was drunk.
At the age of a little more
than so, U. S. Grant became IN
volvcd in financial scandals, tarn-
ishing his heroic record.
Grant was drunk.
At the age of about GO, Will
liam Hohenzollern sent his armies
across Belgium, breaking his
solemn treaty.
William was drunk.
Charles the First Of England
dissolved parliament and tried to
reign alone until he lost his head
Charles was drunk.
Charles the Ninth of France
ordered the massacre of st. Bar
tholomew. which ultimately cost
his family the French throne.
Charles was drunk.
Benedict Arnold plotted to de-
liver West Point to the British
and betrayed his country and
sent Major Andre to the scat1old'
AnOld was drunk.
They may repeal the 18th
Amendment, but as long as Amer
leans will not drink alcohol, the
devil will be baked. Maybe 1t
will be better now to begin to
say 81 Will Not" If you wish
to dry up river, dry up the
springs. If men will stop drink
ing, bootleggcrs will stop leg
cling. If anybody tries to force
men to drink-to cut them out OF
public employment-to play al
the tricks of old to get them to
Join the worship of Bacchus-
then the sober folk may hunt
their rifles-and a sober man Is
a better shot than a drunken one
This issue goes to the roots
of civilization. Prohibition Is
one thing; temperance or abstin-
ence another. IF prohibition
fails, militant temperance may
turn out to be more formidable
than any law on the subject
That is one weapon which can
not be taken away from free
men; the weapon with the In
scription--
| WILL NOT.

Farm Holiday Association, the
AmaIgamated Clothing Workers Of
America and a couple of dozen state
farmer and labor declarations.
Although the Socialists and their
! friends demonstrated an increased
militant determination, the most
pronounced radical expressions
came from the farmers. The pro-
tests of city workers against unem-
ployment were far from az bitter
as those of the farmers against
eyiCtions and restitution.
A. c. Townley of the Holiday As.
sociation, head of the old Non
Partisan League. received a much
more vociferous ovation than any
other among dozens of speakers
when he promised that farmers
would keep possession CT the
land" organize their own food dis
tribution systems and urged labor
unions to set up agencies for the
exchange Of coal, overalls and
farm machinery" for farm produce.
He was appIauded for six minutes.

they were also demanding united

Brown Indicates Filling OF
Vacancies February |.
Waits on Civil Service.

Mai. Ernest w. Brown. superintend-
ent of police. indicated today that con-
templated promotions in the depart
ment probably will be delayed until
February / because of a delay by the
Civil Service Commission in certifying
the men eligible for advancement.
At least 10 officers are slated for pro-
motion to fill existing vacancies re-
sulting from retirements and the ele-
vation of Maj Brown last october from
assistant superintendent to superintend-
ent. Maj. Brown had planned to fill
these vacancies early this month. He
is still waiting on the Civil Service Com
mission to submit him a list of the
names of the men who meet the re-
quirements for promotion
Six privates are to be elevated to
sergeants, and three sergeants to lieu
tenants. In addition Maj Brown plans
to recommend the promotion of Acting
Capt Milton D. Smith to the full rank
of captain.
Capt. Smith is now assistant to In
spector B. A. Lamb, commander of the
Traffic Bureau. Because he is perform
ing the duties Of assistant director Mai.
Brown wants him to have the rank and
pay Of the post.
The Civil Service Commission has in
formed the Police Department that the
delay in the certification of men eligible
for promotion is due to a thorough
character investigation it is making.

GREEN PROTESTS
FURTHER PAY CUT
A. F. L. President Says Fed
eraI Reduction Would Im-
pede Recovery.

A vigorous protest against further
wage cuts for Government employees was
made by william Green, president of
the American Federation of Labor, in a
letter to members of the Senate yes
terday. urging them to vote against the
recommendation of the Economy Com
mittee that new reduction of ia per
cent be added to the present 8Hs per
cent payless furlough.
Describing such proposals as false
economy. Mr.. Green said it would not
be helpful to the Government, but would
injure large number of wage earners
The need, Mr.. Green said, is to re-
store the buying power Of the people
rather than to further curtail it by ad-
ditional wage cuts. He also pointed out
a further pay cut by the Government
inevitably would lead to additional pay
cuts in private industry.
The program of the Economy Com
mittee. including the new pay cut, is
scheduled to come before the Senate
as soon as the deadlock over the bank
ing bill is cleared up.
The five-day week without reduction
in pay also is favored for Federal en-
ployes by the American Federation of
Labor, President Green has informed
John Arthur Shaw, president of the
American Federation Of Government
Employees. This was made known today
in an exchange of correspondence made
public by Shaw.

liked by the commission.
The area still needed to complete the
project includes the north side of
Pennsylvania avenue from First to
Third streets, part of the square in
which the old Census Building is To-

II these acquisitions can be made
within the limit fixed yesterday by the

vania avenues. 1t is understood the
commission already has offers from
some of the property owners to sell on
terms fixed at yesterdays meeting.
