MORALITY AND PROSPERITY"

Bishop Edwin D. Mouzon, who recently addressed
large audience in High Point, declared in an adj
dress in Charlotte last night that there can be 10
revival of prosperity in this nation and in the world
until there is an uplifting of morals and Chris
tanity.
Morality comes out of religion, and prosperity
is founded upon morality" declared the Bishop.
There is no sure foundation for morality except
in religion and there is no basis for prosperity
either for the individual or for the nation except
in morality"
Christianity is today presented with its greatest
opportunity In times of adversely the people nave
turned TO religion. During the great World war,
America and its millions worshipped at the shrine
of Christianity daily. With the close of the war
and the rise in financial power, the people became
flushed with power and money and many drifted
away from the church.
Slowly the world has begun to take stock of the
situation and to realize its seriousness. And, now
the churches have the opportunity to impress upon
man the words which were spoken by Bishop Mou-
zon and are being uttered in thousands of churches.

ANOTHER NORTH CAROLINA MARK

North Carolina held out to the bitter end before
it capitaulated to the demand for a bank mora
torium It was the last state to announce itself as
in line with the remaining states of the Union, only
Welding under the pressure of unacceptable neces-
sity.
1t is obvious that one state could not continue
its financial exchanges when all the others had
closed the doors of their institutions
The banks of North Carolina have weathered
the national storm with exceptional resistance.
When the clouds are overpast, they will be among
the first to enjoy the patronage and prestige Of
the new day.
And the reason for such prophecy IS more
deeply set than can be found in their formal state
ments showing strength and resourcefulness.
1t lies in the fact suggested on the floor of the
state senate the other day by Senator John Sprunt
Hill of Durham, when he said that banking in
North Carolina is clean"
Here. after all. is the gibraltic strength of any
financial or business house. They must enjoy pub
lie confidence. They must earn it before they can
enjoy it and while some financial institutions in
North Carolina have been innocently caught within
the vicious swirl of the times their destruction IS
to be traced to other circumstances than the for
fetre of public confidence because of irregularl-
ties in most instaneS.-Charlotte Observer.

RUSSIAN RECOGNITION

1t comes strangely from the lips of Al Smith,
this casual approval of the recognition of Russia
1t comes strangely because we always believed that
Al Smith was primarily patriot and we still THINK
he is. We simply think that he doesn't know much
about his subject.
Recognizing Russia on the grounds that our trade
with her might as well be out in the open Is so
much bologna. It's out in the open now. No one
is bootlegging business with Russia. There IS no
ban against selling things to Russia
But the question is how will she pay US? And
second will Russian recognition without guaranteed
credits or loans and without free trade with us be
palatable to Russia? Will she be any more eager
to buy things from us if our government places a
han upon the importation into this country of the
products of her slave labor? Will she be able to
get the credits she wants from this country unless
she prevails on this government to guarantee those
credits to American investors.
German citizens are having great difficulty in
collecting their bills from Russia. Great Britain
has openly expressed her dissatisfaction her
trade agreement with Russia. Italy has cancelled
her trade agreement Canada and Japan have re-
fused her further credit. Now that all the other
big nations have found her bad customer it is
hardly logical that We will find her good one.
Russian recognition is objected to strenuously by
the raisers of wheat and cotton in this coun-
try. 1t is objected to strenuously by the lumber
men and labor. Veterans organizations and patri.
otto societies of all sorts have protested.
Besides, leaving money, money, money out OF
it and getting down to fundamentals for change
isn't it bit ludcirous to say nothing of criminal

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
DON'T BLAME IT ON HIM


The high ecclesiastical authority who says with
great deal of affirmative and positive conviction
that the Lords hand is upon the world may, con-
ceivably, be ascribing present-day punishment to
the wrong source.
As President Roosevelt said We have been m
no plague of locusts. Nature through which Provl-
dence operates, has been on our side rather than
against il. No protracted nor widespread drought
has dried up the sources of food production. No
floods have come to wash away home and planta-
ton and provision No insects have eaten up the
fields.
During recent years, the trouble has been at the
other extreme. Bumper crops have constituted
greater problem than period of leanness and
baroness of the soil.
The mischief has come therefore, result of
mans own manhandlng of the plenteous provisions
of Nature Either monopolists faulty systems
of distribution must be accounted responsible for
the present sphinx-like problem faced in America
Are we justified, therefore, in calling greed and
erratic methods of distribution "the heavy hand Of
Cod?
Are we in proper poise in ascribing trickery IN
high places and dishonesty in the market-placeS as
representing "the heavy hand of Cod?
Looks very much more to us like the trouble
ought to be piled over the back of Satan and
ties in most instances.-Charlotte Observer.

enough and | do not think one

opinion that our commissioners
should take full advantage OF the

the ultimate change will OF course
not exceed the one-third, If the
law which have not as yet read,
is sufficiently broad as to allow
this course to be pursued. AS MI.
Durham stated in your paper OF
Tuesday, this course would save
the cost of revaluatiOn. However,
7 do not agree that it would be
the best policy to hold the cut to
20 or 25 per cent. The cut should
be the full one-third. | can see
how the present board of COM
missioners might maintain the
present financial set-up and also
hold the tax rate down to possibly
81, provided the cut is not over
20 per cent. because under tbs
contract with the state a consider
able amount of money will be
coming in for several years on the
repayment of the highway loan to
take care of considerable debt
service, but in that sitaution there
would be no curtailment in public
expense.
7 understood in the figures ap-
bearing in The Times-News during
the past campaign that the pres
ent board has curtailed public eX-
pense $4,000. / do not remem-
Der whether Or not that was for
each year or for the tWo-year pc
Rod, but it is manifest that which
ever it was it is not sufficient
curtailment. The state is paying
for maintaining our roads and
six-months school. but if we add
these costs to the county budget
we will find that under present
conditions the cost of government
in the county is still much too
high to be supported by The pres
ent tax resources either of the
state as to its portion or as to the
county as to its portion. A high
valuation of property will tend to
create a state Of mind which will
result in an effort to maintain
present expenses and will also
keep us on q plane much harder
to cope with in relation to our
creditors. A higher tax rate made
necessary by low valuations will
keep before the people the nece$$-
sitv of running things economical,

Henderson county's future is
dependent on the future of the
state to a large degree and how
ever. much we may shift from our
real property tax onto the state
the tax burden of all the people
is not reduced thereby and ultl-
mately we shall be greatly AFFECT
ed: indeed we have already been
greatly affected by the tax burden
of all the people of the state.
When the business cycle changes
this county will not be able to
make the most of it if it continues
to maintain fictitious values in or
der to maintain a low tax rate. l
used to be for a high valuation
and low tax rate, but am Tor
ever cured of that opinion. The
greatest protection we will ever
be able to set up against burden
some taxes, and against individual
interests seeking to impose on the
body polite through the taxing
power, is a low assessment on
property. Under the present con-
stitution it should be the reason

We should not look for that value

WASHINGTON. - Mr.. Murray
w GuggeEheim, one of the very
wealthy Guggenheim brothers, has
Just given the treasury his check
for $3,449,S50 in payment of a gift
Tax after a long court fight.
The incident might we'll have at
tracted more attention because it
was the largest gift tax this govern.
ment ever collected and because the
supreme court decision which end
cd the long fight Guggenheim had
made against paying it indicated
benevolent rather than an anti.
pathetic attitude. toward laws
which Congress may pass to "soaE
the rich"
pACK in 1912 Mr.. Guggenheim
~ had established trust funds for
bis son and daughter of about S1O,-
100000 each, reserying the right to
revoke them at any time. In 1924
Congress enacted a gift tax. (This
was repealed two or three years later
after urgent pleas b. Secretary Of
the Treasury Mellon, but there's an
pther gift tax now under the 1882
revenue act, designed to prevent
people from evading the estate
taxi In 1925, while the 1924 gift
tax was still in effect and it was
feared that it might be. made even
more stringent, Mr.. Guggenheim re-
linquished his right to revoke the
trusts,
Well, the question "as whether
the gifts should be considered to
have been made in 1917, when there
wasn't any gift tax, or IN 1925. The
Bureau of Internal Revenue had
ruled that a gift was completed
whenever the power to revoke it

was relmquished. 1t now held that
the donative transfer hadn't been
made in 1917, when the funds
passed into the hands of a trustee,
but in 1925 when they were made
irrevocable. So Guggenheim was
taxed on their 1925 value and no.
titled of a deficiency.
TUGGENHEIM appealed to the
BoarG of Tax Appeals. His
lawyers argued that the 1924 law
provided for a tax on donatiye
transfers and not on completion
of. gifts, and the 1917 transfer
was not covered by the statute.
This was legalistic theory as dis
tinguished from what lawyers
call mountaineering realistic
theory. The Tax Appeals board
upheld the government. But the
U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals
reversed the board, adopting the
legal theory and holding that the
transfer was made in 1917 when
title passed to the trustee.
Assistant Attorney General
Youngquist appeared for the bureau
before. the supreme court, arguing
that the property hadn't really
been given up until 1925. Elihu
Root, Jr., represented Guggenheim.
The supreme court held that
gift is completed-that is, made
when the donor relinquished IorliI-
ion over his property. Thus tri.
umphed the realistic theory over the
legalistic theory, triumph which
lawyers say means great deal be-
cause it indicates the court wants
