EASIER CREDIT

NEW YORK, Sept. IA G.N.s).
Cheered by the rising tide of bet.
ter business news, mercantile and
industrial leaders today looked
forward hopefully for early ex-
pansion of credit, forecast b.
Brig. Gen. Hugh S. johnson, Ma
tional Recovery Administrator.
Addressing 1000 leading mer-
chants, public officials and busi-
ness leaders at Merchants Asso-
citation dinner, Johnson declared
credit Cannot be accomplished by
haranguing the bankers" But, he
added:
"It can be done by creating
confidence, releasing restric-
tiOns requiring a too great
liquidity Of banks and If neces-
sary by direct Governmental in.
terpositiOn."
johnson told his audience the
idea that labor has had an undue
strong influence in formulating
NRA codes was unfounded, add
ing:
"WhOlly apart from the alb
stract consideration of recti-
tude, complete impartiality is
the only salvation 1 have in the
hot spot on which 1 stand"
He asserted the rights Of labor
are being guarded in drafting
codes, but that rights Of industry

guarded.

DEVALUEDC COIN

Fresh from a series of con-
Yerences with President Roosevelt,
Eugene R. Black, governor of the
Federal Reserve Board, and other
finance officials, Senator Pat
Harrison Cd of Mississippi,
chairman Of the Senate Finance
Committee, today predicted the
Administration would initiate
some form of initiation by the
early part of October.
Harrison said he did not think
direct issuance of currency would
be resorted to, but limited that
the dollar would be deValuated.
He said:
81 believe that something in
addition to the open market
operations of the Federal Re-
serve Board will be done to raise
prices. l contemplate some ac-
tiOn pretty quickly whether you
call 1t by the name of initiation
Or not.
IF something isn't done by
the Administration, it is my
opinion that Congress will COM
pei such action and no longer
leave the matter discretionary"
Harrison said it was his belief
"Something is being done and
will be done" to raise commodity
prices, adding that they were far
too low, He asserted speed was
imperative.

R. H. Weightman, chief Of the

"It is fairly certain that after

Last year the thermometer reg

nossible to tell how many new

many full time; or how many are
in low wage brackets and how
many are executives, statesmen OF

For that reason, calculations
based on the data may give dis

Since the returns are wholly con-

the other side of the picture can
not be obtained. But a few OF
the extreme cases now available
indicate that something is DEN
nitely wrong in some spots.
For instance, the NRA clted
recently, as an example of gam,
an unidentified paper box factory
in the North which reported per-
sonnet increase from 379 to a. Z
and payroll increase from $l3,-
164 TO S14,3O7 per month. That
looks fine-until it is divided out.
The average employee of this plant
received 1852 a month before
the factory went under the blue
eagle; and $3O.31 afterward-an
average far below the blue eagle

requirement unless a very large
proportion of the employees We're
part-timers. And the expressed
objective of the blue egale is not
to pay a lot of people part-time
starvation wages, but to pay as
many as possible living wages. n
this case, if the pay Of the old
employees was not changed, the
new employees are averaging only
$9.O6 month, presumably, there
fore most of the old employees
took cuts.
On the other side of the fence
is a plant which employed 81
persons in June at an average
wage of $500 and in October
employed 461 at an average Of
$30.07.
One report shows employment
of 141 persons on a 48-hour week
in June, with a payroll of $6,366;
and 1913 persons in October on a
4O-hour week with the payroll
meanwhile dropping to $6,113.
The average pay per employe was
$45.14 in June; $39,05 in Octo-
Der. In this and other cases where
the total payroll dropped. the
hourly wage per employee has risen
somewhat. But that doesn't help
paw the grocer if the total income
has dropped. 1t means a decreased
standard Of living.

STATE is PRAISED
FOR ITS LEADERSHIP
The rimcs-News Bureau


Sir Waiter Hotel
RALEIGH, Nov. L. North
Carolina tax laws, especially it's
new sales tax law, were highly
praised at the meeting of the
national tax conference in Phoe-
nix, Ariz., while high praise was
also given Commissioner of Reve-
nue. \. J. Maxwell, director Har-
ry Mcmillan of the sales tax di-
vision said yesterday. Director
Mcmillan and Commissioner
Maxwell attended the conference.
A great deal Of attention was
given to the various forms Of the
general sales tax at this meeting,
since q states now have adopted
a general sales tax in one form
or another, while special sessions
of the legislature have been call
ed in four other states to con-
slider the question of enacting q
sales tax, Mcmillan said. These
four states in which special ses-
sions have recently been called
are Montana, Colorado. Missouri
and Ohio, Mcmillan said.
"The statement that North
Carolina is way out in front of
the other states with its tax laws
and that most of the other states
would 10 we'll to study our tax
laws was made in a public adj
dress by Franklin s. Edmund,
president of the national tax con-
ference" Mcmillan said. "He
was also high in his praise Of
Commissioner Maxwell"
Because Of the steady trend in
other states towards the general
sales tax on retail sales and diff
Guilty faced by all states having a
sales tax in dealing with inter
state sales and not being able to
collect taxes on sales made in
other states, President Edmunds,
who is from Philadelphia, inro-
duced a resolution in favor Of a
federal sales tax Of 2 per cent.
Under Edmunds plan. this 2 per
cent sales tax would be collected
by the government at its source,
which would be from the manu-
facturers. and one-half the pro-
ceeds from it would be distribut-
ed back to the states.
It was estimated that this 2
per cent federal sales tax would
yield $6OO,OOO,OOO year, of
which S300,0O0OO0 would be al
located back to the safes Mc-Mul-
Ian said. On this basis North
Carolina would Get something
over $1O,OOO,OOO a year. No ac-
ton was taken on the resolution,
however, other than to send it to
the resolutions committee for
further study. The prevailing
opinion seemed to be, however,
that here is not much possibility
of getting the government to i'm
pose such a tax and give the rev.
enue back to the states.

"You have to discount that kind
of gossip" Bob told her.
ooh, don't be 1890! Everybody
says it's true!"
The blue velvet curtains parted
again. This time slender girl III
white stood in the center of the
stage. The glow from the footlights
revealed the graceful lines of
frock designed in a fashion of long
ago. The girls hair was done IN
quaint, old-time manner and she
carried an old-fashioned bouquet.
To Barney's amazement he heard
Joan's voice raised in current
popular melody instead of the song
they had selected. The song she
was singing was on Joan's encore
list but this was the first time she
had used it.
She sang in low, incredibly
sweet voice, Maybe if | loved you
less maybe you would love me
more"
She was pouring out her heart in
the song. 1t was moving, dramatic.
The entire audience seemed to feel
the spell. AS the song ended,
wave on wave of applause rolled
back from the vast room. Joan
shook her head when Barney nod
ded to her. She stood, one steady
ing hand against the wall, and
swayed a little.
"Joan!" Barney cried.
Il can't go back" she told him.
ooh, Barney, take me away!'
Evidently the young lady re-
fuses to be generous" Bob's father
said when Joan failed to return for
an encore. Bob did not answer. He
was leaving the box. Barbara tried
to stop him. ooh, Bob" she cried.
He was gone. Out in the hail a
servant fastened toward him. 81

message from Mr.. Blake. He said
the young lady is not we'll and the
, other performers will go on with
the program"
Tell Miss Wetherington," Bob
said CURLY.
He dashed to the side entrance
where his roadster was parked.
Another car was passing through
the gates. In another moment Bob
was in close pursuit. He had not
Il doubt in the world-strange and
fantastic as the thought was-that
the masked girl was Joan!
Listening to her voice in that
last song, he had been carried away
to another crowded ballroom
where a slender girl in white stood
in the center of a stage, singing
Her dark hair was like wings
against her checks. Below the

same, too.
