HITLER AND THE BIBLE

Adolph Hitler, the new German dictator with the
swelled head and miniature mustache, IS deter
mined to rid Germany of everything connected
with the Jews This racial prejudice and intoler-
ance will of course do more injury to Germany
than to the Jewish race, for in Germany as over
the entire world the Jews have contributed to a
major extent in the worlds progress in science
government, commerce and literature.
The latest proposal of Hitler and his Nazis IS to
abolish all books by Jewish authors. As the head
of the British Society of Authors stated "the in
tellectual life of the German people will suffer
greatly because some of the outstanding writers
of today are Jews. And in that connection we are
moved to wonder what Mr.. Hitler will do about
the works of Solomon, David, Jeremiah, Ezekiel,
and the writers of the Old and New Testament

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE RACE TRACK BILL

The Mcdowell county race track bill passed both
houses of the general assembly in less than an
hour after its introduction 1t entitled "a bill
TO he entitled an act creating an agricultural and
breeders association for the county of Mcdowell
on approval of said county, and the Raleigh News
and Observer says that it was not even read, the
rules of the house being suspended in order to per-
nit immediate passage Neither was the bill read
in the senate where the rules were likewise suS-
pended so that the measure could go through at
once although the senate, unlike the house, was
informed that it carried race track feature.
The News and Observer is convinced that the
bill could not have been passed if it's true nature
had been known Whether or not that be true, the
fact stands out that the bill was raroaded through
the general assembly. How many of the members
present understood what was being done is not ap-
parent What is in evidence, however, is the re-
fusal of the senate yesterday to reconsider its ac
ton of Wednesday, although it had before it yes
terday among other things, telegram from the
State Democratic chairman, J. Wallace Winborne
resident of Mcdowell county, characterizing the
passage of the bill as "a monumental mistake"
Mr. Winborne's Characterization is deserved
True, under the terms of the bill the people Of
Mcdowell county will have the last word in the
matter; but responsibility for what is being at
tempted does not rest with them alone. 1t rests
also with the State of North Carolina which was
asked to set aside its general laws and sanction
par-mutuel betting for one of its counties. The
passage of the bill puts the state in the preposter
Gus position of legalizng for a single county what
will continue to be a criminal ofense in the SO
other counties.
The senate, by vote of IS to 10, has fixed its
own share of the responsibility of this situation.-

MAKING ENDS MEET

1t is disclosed in Washington that the effort of
the administration to balance the national budget
has all but been successful. Almost one billion dol
lars has been cut from the current budget tX-
penditares for next year are figured at $780,
600 900 and income at $2,2OO,OOO, which leaves a
deficit of only $12O, 100000 A little more shaw
ing, amounting to 5 per cent, should make ends
meet.
The Democratic administration is about two
months old. 1t was several days getting under way
insofar work the budget was concerned, yet it
has accomplished more toward balancing the budget
than was accomplished by the last administration
in four years. Mr.. Roosevelt promised the people
that the budget would be balanced. He is deter

Ratification this year is still
theoretically possible. kut some
legislatures have gone home with
ont setting up machinery for cleo
tion Of state conventions and others
are unwilling to call special cleo
tions in this year when economy
and expenditures for relief are so
imperative. Most meet only blen,
nially in odd-numhGred years ana
a few probably won't act before
1885.
So it is generally believed now
that the requisite sc states won't
have ratified through conventions
before the end of 1884 and possibly
not until the following spring.
There will be special elections OF
convention delegates in perhaps
half the states which have conven
lions. A few states may hold them
in connection with thcir spring

H|LLCREST SEEKS
TAX RATE HEARING
Protest to Commissioners
against Increase on Real
Estate Planned.

Plans for hearing with the District
Commissioners to protest against in
creased real estate assessments in the
East section of the city were made last
night by the Hillcrest Citizens Asso-
citation, meeting in the East Washing
ton Heights Baptist Church.
The association recently sent a peu-
tion containing large number OF sig
natures to the city heads, in which II
vas explained the increase in assess
ments ran as high as 450 per cent In
one instance. Many property owners
noted increases of from 200 to 800 per
cent.
The association contends the in
creases are not fair at this time, when
prices of real estate. as we'll as almost
everything else. has fallen off greatly.
In a campaign for improving their
section, the members submitted num-
Der of suggestions to District authorl-
ties. The most important was either
to widen the Pennsylvania Avenue
Bridge over the Anacostia River or to
replace the old bridge with new one.
Another was to extend Branch avenue
southeast, from Camden street south
east to intersect with the Southern
Maryland road. Other projects were
the grading of Texas avenue southeast,
continuation of the sewer project
known as Oxon Run and the laying OF
a sewer in Texas avenue southeast.
