HIGHER SALARY.
URGED To END
TEMP PTAT|ON
Commissioner Hazen Agrees
To Consider Request;
Stamp Tax Planned

Appointment Of % additional
inspectors for the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board was recon-
mended to the District Commits
Siohers today by Jerome John
stone, chief inspector for the
board.
The recommendation said that
the eight men now authorized
cannot possibly do the work re-
quired of them. The new Setup
would be tantamount to establish
ment of a special police force for
liquor law enforcement.
Mr.. JohnStone also urged that
the pay of the inspectors be in
creased. It now is $4,000 per year,
less Is per cent, and the recon-
mendation urges the increase to
remove temptation of graft"
Budget Bureau Cut Total
Commenting on the recommen-
dation, Melvin c. Hazen, president
of the Board of Commissioners,
pointed out that the Commits
sioners first planned to have 20
inspectors on the staff of the ABC
board, but later cut the figure to
10. The Bureau of the Budget
further reduced it to eight.
Commissioner HaZen said, how.
ever, that he will consider the re-
quest.
Another change sought today in
the local liquor law was contained
in an amendment sent to the
Capitol today by the Commis-
sioners to provide for local tax
stamp.
The amendment would provide
that local manufacturers and
wholesalers would be required to
purchase District revenue stamps
and affix them to liquor contain
ers and that retailers would have
to place such stamps on each
bottle of liquor bought from an
out-of-toWn wholesaler.
$2O,281 In Taxes
At the office of Tax Collector
Chatham M. Towers it was re-
ported today that a total of $780,
281.98 in taxes has been paid into
the Golfers of the District by
wholesalers on liquor they pur-
chased prior to March /. No re-
tailers were licensed before that
date, but a number of wholesalers
were given licenses and laid in
their stocks before then.
The ABC Board has issued q
total of 1,066 licenses of all kinds
since liquor became legal here. OF
this number 1923 are retailers
licenses, and the others are for
wholesalers, solicitors and other
classes of liquor businesses. The
revenue from these licenses has
exceeded $5O0,00O.
Had No Stamps
Investigation of how Scotch
whisky without revenue stamps
came into the District was under
way today by the Internal Rev
enue Bureau.
The liquor was found in q
Connecticut Avenue store by Ma
jor Jerome Johnstone, chief in.
spector for the Alcoholic Bever-
age Control Board. He informed
the Federal authorities who are
attempting to learn the source OF
the liquor and if it was SNUG
gled into the country.
The ABC board yesterday de.
MED liquor license to an appli-
cant near the Francis Scott Key
School but overruled the protest
of a church and granted license
to a restaurant in the 3400 block

Unasked Advice
on Banditry
in Movies
BY GILBERT SELDES

and he will, no major picture
company win make a movie
based on the Dillinger case.
"Such q picture" says Mr..
Hays, "wOuld be detrimental
to the best public interest"
In the present state of movie
making, think Mr.. Hays is
right, but I can also think OF
10 different movie stories,
based on the Dillinger case,
which would not be at all
detrimental. I can even think
Of one or two which would
be detrimental to Dillinger.
IF you examine what must
be the background of this de-
cision, you arrive at amusing
results.
In the first place, Mr.. Hays
Is a defeatist; he has given up
hope that Dillinger will be
brought dramatically to justice
and will suffer a penalty suf-
ficient to deter other bandits.
In the second place, grant
ing that Dillinger will be for
ever free, he assumes that
Dillinger will be for ever
happy.
And, at bottom, the theory
Is that the movies should not
use the lives of criminals, Of
tenders against the public
good, whose exploits might in
spire the young and ill-advised
to imitation.
Keystone Cops for insult
Well, there have been graft
ers in high places who escaped
and did, in fact, live rather
happily ever after; there is Mr..
insult writing the scenario for
q pursuit-movie as he dodges
from coast to coast in unpathed
waters, the pirate motive dou-
bling up on his past.
There must still be a few ma
nipulators Of stocks who have
not been Jailed. Are all of these
to be forbidden to the screen
the greatest educator, according
to the movies themselves, ever
exploited by man?
# Mr.. Hays really wants to do
good to the movies, he might
advise-not command, because
he never commands-them not
to make misleading pictures.
I saw, the other day, George
Whites Scandals in the pic
lures. Now in recent years the
great musical shows have played
only in a few large cities and
the yokelS, as they used to be
called, have no idea what a real
revue is like. So they are get
ting the idea from the movies
and If they do not rise and
march upon New York city and
wreck Broadway it is because
they are either too indolent or
TOO busy.
False Impressions
Mr.. Whites show, for in
stance, pretends to be an actual
showing of the Scandals in the
sixth month of its run in New
York, with a few backstage cpl
sodes thrown in. The impress
sion you get is that revues in
New York are set on a stage
somewhat bigger than Madison
Square Garden with the Hudson
River meandering through it at
full tide.
Another impression you get is
that New York audiences dress
like multi-millionaires for the
theater. And a third is that they
like musical shows consisting of
several bad jokes, several senti-
mental or torch songs, and a
dog show.
The last Of these impressions
may be right: but it is danger
Gus for the prestige of New York

Then, partly because of the

because of rascality in men She

EQUAL TREATMENT
By WICKES WAMBOLDT :

all day; he slept by her bed all
night; he was not allowed to run
at large and bother anybody.
This woman in her straitened
circumstances, unable to pay the
tax on her dog, was summoned to
police court by the tax collector
who was merely carrying out the
mandates of his office. The judge
was lenient and gave the woman
more time in which 10 pay her
dog tax.
The man who complained be-
cause he was made TO pay his dog
tax, had no particular need for a
dog, though, of course, he had a
right to have one. He allowed his
dog to be a nuisance; he let it
run day and night. 1t. kept the
neighbors awake with its barking
and bowling: it ran over their
lawns, scratched up their flowers,
L chased their chickens, turned
over their garbage cans.
The foregoing points are the
facts in the two cases. Now what
would you have done, had You
been the Judge?
When we say that all persons
have equal rights, what do we
mean by that statement? Do we
know what we mean? Aren't
there many things to be consid-
cred when we tall; about equal
rights? Probably in Heaven men
have equal rights. But will not
what they have done, have bear
ing on their rights? Will not it be
those who have done equally well,
who have equal rights? One man
has a right to draw a check on q
certain bank. Another man has
not that right. Why? The bank
is in debt to the first man but not
to the second.
Justice is one thing. Debt is
another. If you arc in debt to a
man, he has certain claim or
/ you over and above the justice
that you would show to a man 20
Whom you are not in debt. When
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1934-05-28

society is in debt to a citizen, it
may owe that citizen a consid-
Grafton that it may not owe to
another, citizen who has done
nothing for it.. IL
And again in dealing with hui
man beings, they must creep in
the question of mercy which
sometimes makes a thing unfair
for one and fair for another, or
fair for one and Unfair for an
other. . -
The question of equality opens
up the entire question of back
ground and of behavior of men.
It may be that the seeming in
.equalities in this world are not
inequalities at all but the balanc-
ing up, the evening up of &C
counts, reaching back through the
ages of the souls who are So
journing here. Is, it not possible

no, it really doesn't matter to me-;

repetition, and the impertinence
that usually comes later on, and
then fathers entrance into the
fray with somewhat less than the

have used. And he never can un-
derstand why you don't welcome

only doing it to help! :.
You could end all of this, If
YOU really wanted to, and would

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: Dear DR.. Richard
son: When my baby has had
enough to eat, he splits the last
mouthful all over himself and me.
I'd like to stop this habit. Should
I spank him lightly on the place
Nature provides for that purpose,
Il certainly feel like it, especial
ly when that last bite happens to
be egg or spinach!
ANSWER: Two felix's to be dis
ciplined,-baby for splitting out
the food, and mother for want
ing the emotional relief that at
tends a "good" spanking! Let's
not begin this business of spank
ing for this and for that,-it real
lv doesn't accomplish much, and
puts child training a degree be-
low dog training. Even dog train
ers employ whipping with a great
deal of restraint and caution,--
you rarely hear a real dog fan
cier speak. of giving his pupils a
"good? beating.
QUESTION: Where can / get
literature about child training
I don't mean books, but pamph-
lets like those that some doctors
have in their offices for free dis
tribution? :,

in mind may be secured, usual
ly free, though sometimes for a
small charge, five or ten cents.
