office as president of the United States next March,
he will be the ninth Episcopalian to hold that office
The other Episcopalian churchmen who have been
presidents were Washington, Madison, Monroe. W.
H. Harrison, Tyler Taylor, Pierce and Arthur. No
other religious body can number so many chief ex-
ecutives among its membership. There have been
six Presbyterians, four Unitarians, three Meth
odists, two Dutch Reformed and one each of the
following: Quaker, Baptist, Disciple and Congre-
gationalist.
Incidentally Mr.. Roosevelt will also be the
fourth Harvard graduate to become president.
Princeton and William and Mary have each had

DEATH Rate
Still FALLS
Disease and Automobiles
Fail to Take so Heavy
a Toll in 1882
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, Jan. 21.-The death
rate in North Carolina continues
to decline in spite of both disease
and automobiles, amounting to
only 90 deaths per 100000 III
1882 as compared with 1912 for
1881, Dr.. James NJ. Parrot, eX-
ecutive secretary of the state
board of health announced. This
is considerably below the average
death rate for the entire United
States. which is about 1874 per
100000.
eve feel that the people OF
North Carolina are to be con-
graduated on being able to con-
sistently lower the death rate in
times like these and that these fig
ures indicate that without doubt
North Carolina is a good state in
which to live," DR.. PARROT said.
The decrease in the number Of
deaths from pellagra in the state
during the past year has been
even more pronounced, indicat-
ing that pellagra is ceasing to be
one Of the states major prob
lens, DR.. Parrot said. During
1882 there were but 456 deaths
reported from pellagra, while in
1881 there were 696 pellagra
deaths and in 1880 a total of
I1O15 pellagra deaths.
This decided decrease in pei
lagra is due more than anything
else to the Give at home" pro-
gram started in the state by
Former Governor 0. Max Gard
ner in 1929-30, and which began
to show its first results in 1881,
according to DR.. Parrot. This
Give at home" program resulted
in the planting of hundreds of
thousands of gardens by families
that had never planted any be-
fore, as we'll as in a tremendous
increase in the number Of cows
and chickens in the state. This
in turn resulted in hundreds of
thousands of people adopting q
different kind of diet with vege-
tables, eggs and milk taking a
predominant place in it. Pellagra
cannot exist where vegetables,
eggs, milk and chicken compose
most of the diet. The result has
been that pellagra has almost dis
appeared in North Carolina, &C
cording to DR.. Parrot.
The Give at home" program
and the publicity which attended
it, together with economic con-
ditions that forced people to
raise their own food or else go
hugnry, have done more to wipe
out pellagra than anything else,
DR.. PARROT agrees.

Representative w. A. Sullivan of Ashe-
vile wants to legalize Sunday baseball in
North Carolina-in fact, has introduced a
bill at Raleigh for that purpose. Repre-
sentative julius c. Martin, also of Ashe-
vile, is opposed to Sunday baseball and
will fight the bill proposed by his colleague.
Professional baseball has been feeling the
general depression, in addition to special
depression in the professional baseball
business; and legalizing Sunday playing
will not supply the financial stimulant
needed in the game. The chances are that
Representative Sulivan's bill will not be-
come law.

ment relief bill, Senator Robert
NJ. LaFo!lette of Wisconsin de-
clareS in an interview that the
p following conclusions are ines
capable:
First, we are not meeting the
situation, under the hodgepodge
system Of relief which has grown

Second, large numbers of pei

Third, the fiscal situation in

that they can no longer be ex-
pected to handle the emergency
even on the present meager, in
adequate and haphazard basis.
Fourth, no one could possibly
describe the human misery in the

CITIZENS WHO ARE CARRYING TIL
TAX LOAD

What would have happened to North
Carolina and its political subdivisions III
the past few years if the citizens who have
paid their taxes had failed to pay? Sup
pose no taxes had been paid by any citizen
or corporation, what would be the present
financial condition of the State and its po-
litical subdivisions? The answer to this
question brings out the fact that the State
and all its departments and institutions
have been kept going by the tax payers
who have paid and not by the tax payers
who are delinquent.
The Times-News yields place to no one
in its sincere sympathy for citizens who
are absolutely unable to pay their taxes
and who lose their property for this rea-
son; but as we go along thought might
be occasionally given to the thousands of
citizens who have kept their taxes paid up
and who have made it possible for North
Carolina to continue to have a State gov
eminent and all the services which the
State provides for its citizens. Floods of
tears are shed by the politicians and po-
itical manipulators over the plight of the
delinquent tax payer, but no mention IS
ever made of thousands of citizens who
keep their taxes paid (no matter how great
the sacrifice necessary to do this) and en-
able the State and it's political subdivisions
to continue operating.
Many citizens of North Carolina have
borrowed money from year to year to pay
taxes. Many have worked for wages OF
salaries and taken the money to pay taxes
on non-prOductive real estate. The. Times
News is acquainted with citizens who have
actually done without some of the necessi-
ties of life in order to meet their tax bills
This newspaper has never heard any of
these citizens ask for consideration or
credit for doing their duty and paying
their proportion of the cost of State ana
local government, but The Times-NeWs is
going to hand them bouquet They de-
serve it.
There are many citizens in North Caro-
lima who have not paid their taxes who
could have done so if they had made as
determined efforts to pay as the people
referred to. There are thousands of de-
inquent tax payers in the State who have
not made an honest effort to pay. There
are thousands who wasted enough money
every month of the twelve in any year for
which they are delinquent to pay their
taxes.
A citizen of Henderson county for whom
The Times-News has the greatest admira-
tion is an aged farmer, cripple, COM
paratiyely poor man, who remarked that
his taxes always come first in meeting his
financial obligations. After his taxes and
his other just obligations are paid this
good citizen knows that what is left, little
as it may be, is his to spend as he pleases
The Times-News has great sympathy
for the unfortunate of every class and con
dition; and that includes delinquent tax
payers who can't pay; but we know there
are many delinquent tax payers whose
plight is of their own contriving.

Is so great that it can't be met b,

Horribly low relief standards
have cut out all but bare food
allowances, and a little clothing,
leaving a housing condition so
dreadful as to be indescribable.
This is generally true Of the
whole country. 1t contributes to
additional tax delinquency and
even forces some landlords, prop
erty owners who lose their in
comes, onto the relief lists. 1t
forces a terrific condition Of over
crowding because families are
doubling up in the most cramped
and squalid quarters

built for IL families now houses
"a or "a, with an obviously devas-

cleanliness and privacy necessary
for preservation of sanitation and

Testimony from trained social
workers is that malnutrition
among children has become an
enormous problem. School SUPER
intendents complain that boys and
girls with starved bodies can't all
sorb tile teaching,
ut is also demonstrated that
most communities pauperize fami-
lies by requiring absolute destitu-
tion before they will give relief.
Millions Of American families
must sacrifice savings, life insur-
ance,t homes-if any payments
have been made-grocery credit

are incalculable but awful to con.

FIRST PURCHASE
 OF THE NEW GOLD
President Says It Will Be Made Wednesday for
 Commodity Boost

Washington, Oct. A. UP)- President Roosevelt has decided, the White House said today, that the first purchase of new gold will be made tomorrow in his program to raise commodity prices and con- trol dollar fiuctuation.
 At the same time, it was learn ed at the treasury that the govern ment's practice of selling newly mined gold abroad for American producers would be abandoned. As the government plans to pay above the world gold price 1t was be- lieved unnecessary for the treasury to sell gold abroad for American mines. The treasury made its last sale of gold abroad today for Amerian miners at a price of $29.S0 an ounce.
 The officials designated by the reconstruction Finance corporation to carry out gold purchases will meet in the office of the secretary of the treasury tomorrow at 9:30 a. m.
 The purchase price, which will be slightly higher than that in the London and Paris gold markets. will be announced. It was expect ed that the transaction would be completed before 10 o'clock.
