OVER
CONSTITUTION
Leaders Not in Accord on
Changes But Public Mind
Focused on 1t
BY J. C. BASKERVILL
The Times News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, April 14.-An in
creasing amount of public atten-
ton is being focused on the pro-
posed new State Constitution
which will be submitted to the
voters of the state for adoption
in the November election this fall
and people are becoming more
and more interested in it, accord
ing to opinion in political and
state circles here. One reason for
this interest in the proposed new
basic law of the state, it is agreed,
are the bitter attacks which have
been made upon it recently by
Attorney General Dennis 6.
Brummitt and a few others who
are bitterly opposed to it. Quite
number of observers here feel
that the attorney general is real
ly going to help the chances for
the adoption of the new constitu-
ton by focusing public attention
upon it by his bitter opposition
to it.
"The proposed constitution gets
its strength from the very points
which the attorney general labels
as Weaknesses" says an editorial
in the Durham Herald of Wednes-
day, April IL, which presents one
of the best informed discussions
of the new constitution yet seen
in print, according to those who
are familiar with the new docu-
ment. at removes restrictions
which the legislature has consis-
tently ignored and the attorney
| general has not yet put a stop
to it. He can't, for the simple
reason that conditions demand
things the (present) constitution
prohibits. The constitutions If
1868 embodies the principles of
government as then conceived by
men who were guided and prob
ably coerced by circumstances
then at hand. These principles
have been expanded, stretched
and ignored until they no longer
/ retain their identity or suit pres
ent needs. The way to destroy
constitutional government is to
cling to an outworn constitution
| that has become a handicap"
| The proposed new constitution,
as all those who are familiar with
| it know, was written and adopted
bv the 1888 general assembly af-
! ter the senate and house commit.
tees had re-worked the suggested
new constitution, as submitted by
the constitutional commission
created by the 1881 general as
semblv and charged with the task
of preparing a draft of new
constitution to submit to the 1888
general assembly. Chief Justice
w. P. Stacy of the state supreme
court was chairman of this com.
mission, while members of II
were George E. Butler, Clinton
J. o. Carr, Wilmington; Burton
Craige, Winston-Salem; A. j
Maxwell, Raleigh; Judge John j
Parker, Charlotte; Clarence Poe

, Lindsay C. Warren, Washington

more than year of study and Ell

Sunday, April 10.
Matthew 1S:21-35.
Golden Text-And forgive us
our debts, as we forgive oul
debtors.-Matthew 6:12.
Our Lords discourse at Ca
pernaum on the rebuke of temp,
err concluded with Z vital wore
on the extent and spirit of for
giveness.
THE PRINCIPLE OF
FORGIVENESS
Constant Forgiveness OF bro
Their is the divine principle laic
down. The rabbis taught that ar
offender should be forgiven but
once, as rule, and never more
than three times. Peter inter
negatively limited forgiveness tt
the seventh offense. But Jesus
expands the expanded charity OF
Peter, making his little sever
practically infinite. FOrgiving
love is not bounded by figures
but governed by heavenly mo,
tives. The forgiving spirit should
always exist.
THE PARABLE OF
FORGIVENESS
Contrasted Forgiveness of
servants is the divine illustration
given. A king squaring accounts
with his tax officials found a
trusted officer short Is or 20
million dollars, all of it reckless
ly squandered. The monarch or
dered the debtor and his family
sold into slavery and his prop
erty confiscated. Protrasting
himself before his lord, the SER
want pleaded for time and prom
ised payment. The king was so
moved that he gave the embez-
zler liberty and cancelled the IN
debtedness. But the pardoned in
insOlvent found a fellow-servant
owing him about II dollars, prop
ably a millionth as much as he
owed the king. Forgetting his
own good fortune. he rushed up
on his debtor, choking him and
imperilously demanding imme-
date payment. Though the poor
fellow did exactly what his cred
itor did when arraigned before
the king, he pleaded in vain and
was cast into prison. But when
the king heard of the incident,
he summoned the unmerciful
creditor and punished worse for
his hard-heartedness than form
erly for his embezzlement. The
forgiveness ought to forgive.
THE PROGRAM OF
FORGIVENESS
Conditioned forgiveness from
the Father is the divine program
marked out. No Christian must
harbor an unforgiving spirit. No
trespassing brother must plead
in vain for forgiveness. Forgive
and We shall De forgiven"
FORGIVE
First, Forgive Divinely. "Lord
how off," He is the great
Teacher of forgiveness; do as he
says. He is the great Forgiven
do as he does.
Second, Forgive Fraternally
''My brother" :" He needs for,
giveness; it will help him on his
feet. He is entitled to it; for he
is a brother, though hayward
And sometimes you may need tc
ask his forgiveness.
Third, Forgive Personally. "Sir

here that the attorney general is
inconsistent in his position in OPP
position to the new constitution
and his advocacy Of putting the
tax burden on those of greater
wealth, since as long as the pres
ent old constitution of 1868 re-
mains in effect those with wealth,
the large corporations and utili-
ties companies, cannot be taxed
at any greater rate than the
smallest property owner. But if
the new constitution should be
adopted, it would be possible o
classify property for the purpose
of taxation and make those with
larger incomes and larger prop
erty holdings pay more in pro-
portion, it is pointed out.

j. s. To UNITY
ATTENDING
AGENCIES
Retirement Of Government
From Banking Business
Hinted by President
BY EARL GOODWIN

The President today started to
turn financing back to the bank
ers, in keeping with his promise
to the American Bankers Asso-
citation a few days ago.
This appears to be the motive
behind the announcement at the
White House that the New Deals
lending agencies are to be CO.
ordinated through a committee,
which includes all the alphabetical
organizations in the loan business.
The news was given out by Presi-
dent Roosevelt himself at his
semi-weekly press conference.
Committee Handles Work
The coordination will take
effect through the committee, to
be headed by chairmen and
executive officers of all the big
money spending and lending
agencies, except the Federal
Relief Administration. The com
mittee is to be headed by
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau.
At first glance the coordinating
idea appears to be merely move
toward much-needed simplifica-
ton and efficiency, and while it
is expected to accomplish that
object, those close to the Admin
istration confidently expect that
the New Deal will quite soon be
out of the lending business.
There has been considerable talk
about just that eventuality
among the Presidents visitors in
the past three weeks.
There is evidently sincere de-
sire on the part of the heads of
the RFC, the AAA, the FDIC,
Hole, etc., to quit their activities
as far as possible and let private
industry, private initiative and

NEW CAS- STRIFE.
UNDER WAY

Gasoline dealers ended their
four-week price war today by
Boosting their list price to 1872
cents a gallon, but saw hostilities
opened Immediately on another
front.
The first war was a clear vic
tory for independent dealers who
had met every price cut by major
companies with a similar cut OF
their own on ground they had the
right to undersell popular brands
by at least one cent a gallon.
The second conflict began when
independent dealers, who were
expected to meet today'S four cent
increase, failed to do so and said
they would not until filling
stations specializing in Servicing
taxicabs agred to stop giving
two-cent a gallon discount.
In this move they were tacitly
applauded by major companies,
who have bitterly resented the cab
drivers discount, but who have
been unable to organize a boycott
themselves against the coopera'
tives. At the same time they fear
their own sales will fall off
markedly as the result of motorists
continuing to take advantage OF
the 10R-cent gasoline, dispensed
by independent dealers.

FUMES PERIL
HEALTH Of
CHILDREN
Throat and Lung Ailments Are
Laid to Faulty Heating;
Meeting Called Dec. 13

Three hundred Washington
school children face the alterna-
tive Of having their health seri-
0uSly impaired or going without
educational training.
The children, 1923 of them, to be
exact, ranging in age from 5 to
IL, are students at Blair School,
500 block of 1 Street N. E., prob
ably the most antiquated school
building in the National Capital.
Plight of the children was made
public today when members OF
the Parent Teacher Association OF
Blair School revealed to The
Times that coal gas fumes and
SCOT is being forced into their
class rooms by the ancient heat
ing plant in the building.
Fought Four Years
Mrs. Sarah Green, Of the 800
block K st. N. E., president OF the
Blair School PTA unit, declared:
"UnleSs this condition, which
we have fought four years, is
remedied Immediately, it will
be necessary to close the school
entirely. These children already
are showing signs of throat and
- lumg ailments which can be
traced directly to the fumes and
SCOT they are forced to inhaIe
during their studies"
Mrs. Green revealed that an
augmentation for q new heating
system had been made by the DIS
trict last year, but the funds were
used to install a new furnace IN
q colored school "that needed the
money more than Blair School"
Teachers Affected
Teachers at the school have
also been affected by the condl-
tions, it was said at the school
today.
Mrs. Green, a boy in the first
Grade class complained to his
teacher that he was choking. A
doctor was reported to have traced
his trouble to the fumes.
e. P. Dougherty, custodian at
the building, declared today the
condition will continue to exist
until new equipment is installed.
No funds are available for a
new furnace now, it was reported
at the Franklin School Building,
but an effort will be made to
install new equipment durin g
1896, it was said.
A special meeting of the PTA
Of Blair School has been called
for December Is to draw up a
formal protest to District Off
Gals.

President attended the Gridiron
dinner.
The First Lady paused for a
moment, and said:

Then turning to her secretary,
she said:
"TOmmy, please phone Fran
ces Perkins and ask her If
she's free for Saturday night"

The Navy Department is con-
sidering sending the giant airship
Macon on 2,000-mile flight
across the Pacific to Hawaii as
part of the fleet maneuvers next
summer, Secretary of the Navy
Swanson announced today.
The Navy Department also has
asked the Bureau Of the Budget
for approximately $1,800,000 to
improve harbor facilities at Pearl
Harbor, Hawaii, for American
warships, Secretary Swanson said.
He added that the Navy General
Board also has recommended the
construction of 212-million-cubic-
foot dirigible, as a link in the
strengthening of the Nays scout
ing forces.
Explaining the purpose of such
flight by the Macon, Secretary
Swanson said:
1--WE want to test these dir
igibles to find out their ability
to explore and to cooperate with
the Navy. as well as their war
qualities"
