LEGION LEADER
AGAINST ENTRY
INTO LEAGUE
Nv Nnixeraal sarvicA


ATLANTA, Ca, March 16.
Americas greatest contribution to
world peace would be for this
nation to be strong enough to
make others keep peace with her,
Scott Gambler, past commander
Of the Georgia department, Amer
lean Legion, said today.
Mr.. Gambler commended the
efforts Of the Hearst newspapers
to keep America out of the World
Court and League Of Nations.
Mr.. Gambler said:
"AI true Americans desire
peace.
'There Is no class Of men or
women in America today that
desires peace 50 earnestly as do
our ex-Service men and women,
who know through personal ex-
perience something Of the hOr-
rOrS Of war. For that reason
they do not believe that for
the United States to enter the
League of Nations at this time,
or to enter any Of its subsid-
iary organizations, would help
In any way in the cause Of
peace.
ain order to keep faith with
those Americans who died in
the war for world peace, we, as
q nation, should rather do those
things which will insure peace
and thus lend q helping hand to
the cause Of peace throughout
the world.
Urges Universal Draft
"The way to peace, in the
opinion of q large number of the
former service men and women
of America, can be found only
when our nation is able to say
we want peace and we are
strong enough to make others
keep the peace.
"The American Legion, we
ex-Service men believe, has q
real panacea for war in its bill
now before Congress, the uni
VerSal draft act.
"Under this bill, in time of
war, not only would our young
men march out to battle, but side
by side with them would march
the entire wealth of the coun-
try.
"The passage of this bill will
insure peace for America. No
nation would ever attack us,
armed as our Government
would be with the entire re-
sources of the nation.
'Entry into the League Of
Nations at this time would only
bring us into the notfar-diStant
European cor rental wars.
"The Hearst newspapers. by
constantly advocating an ade-
quate Army. Navy and air
force, are doing more to pro-
mote peace than any other
agency in America"

Things are booming again IN
Florida-the best ever since the
big boom days of 1925.
Last year at this time owners
of hotels and rooming houses
were ready to starve" and now
everything is so crowded that
there isn't enough room for all
the winter visitors.
These sfe the observations
brought to washington today by
Mrs. Herman Damn, Democratic
political leader in st. Petersburg,
Fla, and widow OF former mem
Der of the Florida legislature.
Mrs. Damn lays it all to the
Roosevelt Administration, adding:
"A dollar bill looks just as
good to a Republican as it does
to q Democrat. The boom in
Florida right now is going to
mean a lot to rs Democrats in
the coming elections"

cylinder cars are being exhibited
in Washington for the first time
today at the showrooms Of the
Warrington Motor Company. They
are in addition to Auburn's new
straight eights and its line of
12-cylinder cars.
The 1884 skies are entirely new
and designed along the lines Of
the more powerful straight eights
which were on exhibit at the re-
cent automobile show here.
Lycoming has designed a new
engine and the new skies are on
a chassis with wheelbase Of 119
inches. Bendix internal hydraulic
brakes are standard.
In keeping with the smart
streamline design of the body is
the gradually sloping shatter-proof
glass windshield. There is no
center post to obscure the vision.
Dewdrop headlamps mounted on
the tenders are finished in the
same color as the body. The GUS
tom six model features dual ratio.

For State
Pay Raise Probable
Recommendation For 10 Per Cent Salary
Boost Regarded AS Certainty on
Capitol Hill

Raleigh.-Ahhough it will mean
the raising of about 100000 in
additional revenue, it is generally
taken for granted in semi-inform-
ed circles on Capitol Hill hat the
state advisory budget commission
will recommend to the General As
sembly meeting in January that
salaries of state workers be increas-
ed at least 10 per cent if not more.
Having heard representatives Of
departments, educational and elee-
mosynary institutions request in
creased appropriations for the next
biennium at the series of public
hearing held here last week, men,
bers of the budget commission
gather here again Thursday to
continue their executive studies of
the requests.
Governor Ehringhaus himself
estimates that to raise the present
salaries of the state workers., in
Guiding school teachers, 10 per
cent means the raising of $2,OOO,-
900 in additional revenue. The
1888 General Assembly slashed sal
aries of state workers from 81 to
as high in some instances as 40
per cent under 1880 salaries, and
the requests made by the several
heads of departments and institu-
tions for salary boosts range from
20 to SO per cent.
Realization that food and feed
products as we'll as the variety of
other commodities the state must
have for its departments and insti-
tutions are likely to cost consider
ably more next. biennium than
they have been costing during this
two-year period is a source of
worry not only for the budget
makers but the state workers as
we'll. All of them realize that this
means the state will have to pro-
vide larger budgets for commodi-

Formal demand was made upon
the Board of Commissioners of
Rowan county, in its regular meet
ing Monday morning by Haden c.
Holmes, city manager, and J. W.
Ellis, attorney, that the county
ssume $4,000 Of outstanding
bonds for the Salisbury school
charter district.
The city officials pointed out that
the demand was in line with, and
consistent with, a recent decision
of the supreme court of this state;
that a preliminary audit recently
made for the school board showed
the city was not receiving its pro-
Iportionate share of the county
debt service allotments; and that
the county had assumed payment

ARRESTED AFTER NINE

Dalton Hall was returned from

Board Orders
Closer Check
On Absentees
State Puts Ban On Ap.
plication For Ballot Bv
Other Than Voter
NEW RULES MADE

Orders to tighten up on the ap-
lplication Of the absentee ballot laws
have been issued to the board OF
elections in the several counties
of the state by Chairman L. P
McLendon. New instructions for
administering the absentee law
were also included.
Because of the disclosure in re-
cent investigations, most notably
the contest in the twenty-fourth
judicial district between Julius A.
Rousseau of North Wilkesboro
and ]. Haden Burke of Taylorsville
for the nomination for superior
court judge, of a multitude of
violationsFF of. the absentee law,
the state board notified the local
board that it had found it necessary
to take stringnent steps to prevent
recurrence" of such violations, both
by election officials and the voters.
Under the new regulations of the
state board, each county board will
hereafter Be required to have
printed its own absentee forms,
with complete nstructionsforv ot-
ing an the back ofsthe form These
~regulations provide thar he votei
lmusr sign both liz bslI5f and III
|7ppkcation for the ballot. Here.
Itofore II has been permissible fol
the agent Of the voter to sign ths
application for the ballot. Under.
the new plan it will be impossible
for the agent to obtain a ballo,
form unless he has secured the
signature on the application form
of the voter seeking to cast the
absentee ballot. A voter may ap-
ply for a form through a letter
addressed to his party chairman or
to his registrar.
The registrar and the Judges at
each precinct must fill out a spe-
cial form furnished by the state,
along with the other forms, show
ing how the absentee law require
ments have been complied with in
their box, and any registrar or
judge violating this provision is
held to be guilty of a misdemeanor.
The new instructions sent out
by the state board also require each
registrar and each county board
of elections chairman to post lists
of persons voting absentee ballots
and setting forth the facts in each
case, including. the date applica-
ton was made for an absentee bal
lot, the name and residence of the
applicant, the date the application
was furnished, and whether the
applying voter was physically I'M
able to attend the polls and vote
because of illness or whether he
was out of the county. The lists
must be posted at the respective
boxes on the morning of the cleo
ton in order that any person who
may desire to do so will have an
opportunity of challenging the vote
before it is officially cast.
