Appointment

APPOINTMENT Will Probably Be
Made After House Passes Liquor
And General Tax Revision
Measures.
IS EXPERT ON TARIFFS
Mr. DoHgbfon Is Now Serving His
22nd Year As Representative
From The Ninth N. c.
District.

Representative Robert L. Dough-
ton of North Carolina, chairman of
the house ways and weans COM
mittee, is slated to be appointed to
the federal tariff commission with
in a few weeks.
Democratic friends of the North
Carolina Democrat say the appoint
ment will be made by President
Roosevelt probably after the ad-
ministration's liquor and general
tax revision measures are passed by
the house.
Both Of these measures are being
handled by Doughton's ways and
means committee, the group charg-
ed with formulating all ven
and tariff measures for COMPRESSION
al action.
Doughton is serving his twenty
second year as representative from
the ninth North Carolina district.
He has been a member of the ways
and means committee for many
years and has made a study of
tariffs.
Indications are that Doyghton
will be appointed to tn, vacancv
created by the death of the late
Representative James w. Collier,
Mississippi Democrat.
The appointment of Doughton
would have considerable signifi-
canoe in view of a reported admin
stration plan to submit to Congress
legislation proposing authority for
the President to negotiate recipro-
cal trade agreements with foreign
nations without having to submit
each separately to the senate for
ratification.

Kidnaper Kept
In Solitary

Leavenworth, Kans.-'I1l be
out of here by Christmas"
George Machine Gun" Kelly,
who recently has been given the
added sobriquet of "blabber-
mouth" sat in a bleak solitary cell
in federal prison here and perhaps
recalled his loudly proclaimed boast
made when brought here several
months ago to begin serving a life
sentence for the 100000 ransom
kidnapping of Charles F. UrscheI,
millionaire Oklahoma City oil man.
Although Kelly did not say
which Christmas he had in mind,
prison officials took it for granted
he meant this Christmas and &C
|cepted his challenge. He wa ush-
cred into a solitary cell, where he
has remained since.

VIII b. Made Public.

Organized labor and organized

act, it was learned.
The changes sought for the most
part, will be in opposite directions.
the administration, though official
ly silent, is not expected to ask any
important alterations. Congress
sional oppositionists, seeking to
avoid the appearance of obstructing
recovery are in the main willing to
keep hands off. But the American
Federation Of Labor and the United
States Chamber of Commerce may
have different ideas.
William Green, president of the
A. F. of L. has issued a call for his
organizations executive council to
meet in Washington January "a to
consider recommendations on leg
islative amendments" to the recov-
cry act and Improvements which
time and experience have shown to

The board of directors of the
United States c. of c. will meet
January 10 and 20 to consider the
results of a QUESTIONABLE circulated
among member associations and
chambers, designed to collect data
on how the recovery act and other
general recovery program is work.
ing. Specific figures are sought in
the QUESTIONABLE, answers to which
are beginning to flood the. cham
Der headquarters.
Since the NRA decided not to
make public the results Of its cen
sus of Blue Eagle operation last fall,
this will be the first national survey
of how the whole program is re-
acting-in the judgment of cham
bers of commerce. 1t will be a
one-sided viewpoint but with no
more complete data available, it
may be impressive to congressman
facing reelection next fall.
The A. T. of L. will have NO such
compilation of data to support its
demands but it will have the eff
feet of a well-knit body of voters.
| Another sharp difference in
opinion toward NRA, with an en-
tirely distinct line of cleavage of
viewpoint, is growing more evident
as congressman return to Washing
ton-the vastly different view
point of the "big fellow and the
I%''little fellow" in business.
Various plans for modifying the
method by applying the recovery
act, if not the act itself, are being
considered. The U. S. C. of c. is
not likely to be sympathetic to
them. The A. F. of L. probably
will be indifferent to this aspect.
The divergent viewpoints of the
groups concerned probably will
more or less counterbalance each
others effect and aid the admins
tration goal of keeping the NRA
about as it is but there will be
plenty of talk of changes.

Washington-The political fore
casters are busy guessing what
President Roosevelt will say in his
first annual message to Congress,
when that body convenes @ =
Wednesday following New ~
day. There are some things al :
which it is 10 necessary to GU
very much.
The President will report that the
business of the Nation is much
better than it was when he took
office. That is now generally I'M
derstood to be true, in every i'm
portant line. A hopeful business
sentiment is reflected in the letters
which come to Washington every
day, and in the first-hand reports
from men in the field. That was
not true. a few months ago. The
I'd will tell the
Congress, that his program has
changed the national psye' nology
from despair to hope.
Certainly, more men are back at
work. Entirely outside of the sew
eral millions who are employed in
projects of the Public Works Ad-
ninistration and the Civil Works
Administration, other millions are
back at jobs in private industry and
business. Instead of being a harder
winter than last, as looked possible
even a few weeks ago, it now looks
as if there might be less strain on
charity for the support of the I'M
employed.
The President will report that
business and industry are ~organiz-
ing themselves, under the National
Recovery Act; that they are pref
ty well organized now, and are be-
ginning to see the benefits of Or
ganization and to like it. And
that will be truer than seemed pos
sible in September.

ought to be remembered that under
Secretary Mellon , which means
through the administrations of
Harding, Coolidge and Hoover, the
United States paid off seven thous-

The total borrowings under the
present Administration have not
reached that mount yet; so it is a
fair statement hat we are not as
deeply in the hole as we were in
1920. Offsetting that, of course,
is the failure of European nations
to keep up their payments on the
war debts, which were counted
upon to take up a good deal of the
National debt. But the theory Of
this Administration seems to be
that a nations debts are not meant
to be paid, but merely to pay in

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
COMMODITY TAXES REQUIRE BORDER
PATROL

Missing the highway patrolmen in their usual
haunts these days, one may conclude they are mo-
bized along the border line of the state. Despite
the constitutional guarantee that interstate trade
shall be free of imposts, revenue laws of North
Carolina require an increasing vigilance at the
border.
The heavy taxation on gasoline has provided a
strong incentive to evasion, and the fact that the
leviss of the states vary from two cents to more
than seven intensifes the bootlegging. The addi-
ton of beer as a heavily taxed commodity which
must be imported from other states has increased
the demand on the police force of North Carolina.
Under the circumstances, the state patrol has be-
come border patrol.
The need for interstate cooperation in discour-
aging evasion of taxes is obvious. Only through
such cooperation can the states hope to keep with
in bounds the bootlegging of any of the popularity
used commodities chosen for special levies. The
most effective direction of cooperation, OF course
would be towards uniformity in taxation through
revision of the federal plan for raising revenue

MILLS ARE HUMMING

The mills of the industrial southeast are 'put-
ting out" cotton goods in greater volume nova
days than for any season in several years. Cloth
market conditions are favorable and with the ad-
vance in both raw cotton and finished product the
benefit is mutual to both producer and manufac-
turer. Stocks of cloth in warehouses, according to
reliable information, are being rapidly depleted
and the bugaboo of "overproduction" has been
eliminated at least for the present. Huge sales
guarantee that the plants will run full time with
many doubling up on night shifts throughout the
summer months, and that the mills have contracts
to Justify their claims of sales for months ahead.

WHAT STATISTICS SHOW ABOUT WOMEN
DRIVERS

The impression prevails in rather general way
that women as rule not as good automobile
drivers as men. That this is an erroneous belief
has been proven by statistics gathered by the Ma
tional Safety Council in every state in the union
Safe driving is not a matter of sex, education, age
or any other attribute except possibly that of be-
ing able to keep a level head in any emergency.
The Safety Councils report shows that only
one out of every sc women drivers is involved IN
an accident while four times as many men motor
lists have traffic accidents From that, it appears,
women are not less trustworthy than men when
they sit at the wheel of an auto. In fact the re-
port shows that they do not take as great chances
as male drivers and accident statistics show that
most accidents result from taking chances.-Ihe
