TOXIC, Japan, March 10 -
(UP). Henry Pu-Yi, once the
.boy emperor Of China yester-
day celebrated his first annivers-
ary as chief executive of the
"independent" State Of Manchou-

Young Pu-Yi, last of the rulers
to sit on China's dragon throne
in Peiping (then Peking), was
and. still is head of the Manchu
dynasty which ruled the celes-
tial empire for centuries.
He was oyerthrown by the IA
ther of another young man, Mar

been in Peiping as head OF the
provincial government whic n
took over the jglories and respon-
sibilities of the old throne:

Elaborate observance of Pu,,
Yi's anniversary az nominal head
of the new Japan-controlled state
was scheduled throughout Japan

were held in the new Manchu
capital Of Changchun, now called

for the S0-year-old Manchurian
chief executive and hi sasso-
ciates. It was marked by ia
pans formal recognition of the

against the admontions of. the
League, of Nations and the world.
Despite world opinion, the
Japanese do not admit that Man

contend 1t never will be.
They admit, however, that Man.
choukuo has been kept alive so
far by the force of the Japa-

Primary Fight
.Coloring Senate
Transactions Now
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH. Mar. 10.-The house
has been fighting many of its Bat
ties this session on the basis of
last summers primary campaigns.
and now these old political wounds
are beginning to crop up in the
senate, although to a lesser de-
gree.
While it has been apparent on
several occasions that a small
group of senators were trying to
fight the primary campaigns al!
over again, first mention of the
issue on the floor Of the senate
came this week during discus
sion of the bilr transferring the
highway patrol to the revenue de-
partment.
Senator Hinsdale, one of the
opponents of the measure, OPP
posed it chiefly on the ground
that the bill takes away from the
of agriculture the gas
oline and oil inspection division
and places it under the srpervi-
sion of the revenue department.
Reminding the senate that in
1881 ne had fought to the last
ditch the bill turning the county
roads over to the highway COM
which he said had result
ed in the establishment of the
biggest political machine in the
state, the Wake senator opposed
the measure on the contention
that it would centralize too much
power in the revenue department.
Don't you think that the pres
ent gasoline and oil inspectors are
Just as much of a political unit as
the highway patrolmen, who will
take over the gas and oil inspec-
ton will be-" he was asked.
"Yes, but l believe in a more
even distribution of political pow
er," Senator Hinsdale said, point
ing out that the highway commits
sion last year had done more than
any other political machine" to
bring about the defeat OF K. 1.

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN.
By Ike Walton, Rediviyue

/ So Brother Fain wishes to
have counties consolidated. 1t
would be easy to get this done
iii some big counties were not
more or less piggishly inclined in
the, matter of offices. Suppose,
for example, Polk should be con-
solidated with Henderson. How
many Henderson voters would
support even the best Polk man
for sheriff? You might reply
that the money saved to the tax
payers Of Polk would be worth
more to them than to have one
OF. thcir number elected sheriff.
But folks are curious critters.
Every other man you meet has a
sort of private conviction that he
would make as good. # not bet
Iter, public official than many
already in office. He does not
wish to diminish his chances of
getting there some day. There
would be at least a hundred men
in Polk who would be willing to
serve in one of the dozen posi-
tions: and they, with their Kin
and friends and neighbors would
make a goodly nucleus in oppo-
sition to consolidation, as long as
the big county would be" apt to
support its own men.
If there were any way to as
sure fairness in this matter, 1t
might be accomplished. But
when he sees how New York and
New Jersey and Massachusetts
have furnished five, and Ohio
three, out of the last nine presi-
dents, and England one. he can
see how hitching up many small
units to a few big ones works.
It has become so marked that a
legislator out west suggested Sc
cession again the other day.
Perhaps more satisfactory
way would be to have district
government, in which consider.
able number of counties would
be united. so arranged that no
one county could dominate, and
with deputy and assistant Off.
Gals in each constituent unit
Then if the big county became
hoggish the others could unite
to balance the system In the cleo
lions. :,
But the chief trouble of all
lies in the fact that too large a
mart of orr population are spend
ers as compared to the producers.
For example, the officials and
educators insist on being ade-
quately supported by the others,
but do not actively and directly
contribute. to the production OF
the money by which they are to
be supported. Those officials and
government employees may con-
tribute heavily. indirectly to, ulti-
mate production; but there is a
growing. tendency, to increase
their number beyond the point
of the capacity of the rest to
support themselves and those
others also. 1t might be good
experiment to employ many gov.
eminent employees for part OF
their time, and that on condition
that they be productivity EN-:
ployed the rest of the time so
hiatt they can learn how it feels
all the time instead of just when
they lose their official positions.

NEW YORK, March 10.-(UPl
(UP).-Heralding the arrival OF
new day in American economic
thought, and advocating "perSis

Roosevelt, expounds his economic
creed in a new book. Looking

18th.
an outlining my economic
creed" Mr.. Roosevelt writes, at
is necessary to make clear again
my point of view with regard TO
the individual. / believe that our
industrial and economic system is
made for individual men and wo-
men and not individual men and
women for the benefit of the sys-
tenn.
81 believe that the individual
should have full liberty of action
to make the most of himself; but
i do not believe that in the name
of the sacred word. iAdividualiSm,

population of the United States >
President Roosevelt admits that
we are on the threshold of a
fundamental chance in economic
thought.
81 believe" he says, "that in
the future We are going to think
less about the producer and more
about the consumer. Do what We
may to inject health into our all
ing economic order, we cannot
make it endure for long unless we
can bring about a wiser. more
equitable distribution of the ma
tional income,
at is well within the inventive
capacity of man, who has built up
this great social and economic ma
chine capable of satisfying the
wants of all, to insure that all who
are willing and able to work re-
ceive from it at least the neeessi-
ties of life. In such system, the
reward for a days work will have
to be greater, on the average, than
it has been. and the reward to
capital. which is speculative. will
have to be less. =.
"The country needs and, unless
I mistake its temper, the country

take a method and try it; if it
fails, admit it frankly and try an

thing. The millions who are IN
want will not stand by silently
forever while the things to satisfy
their needs are within easy
reach"
