TROUBLES OF THE BUILDING TRADES

A building materials tradesman tells me that
his line has been off for the past three years by
as much as 81 per cent from the average along
in 1929.
You talk about punishment that the depression
hasinficted-nobody has been hit over the head
with harder club than these men who have been
dealing in building materials in the United States.
How they have survived at all is a matter of
amazement, if not of miracle .
And they must survive if business gets along.
They are close to the engine-room of material
progress-these men who deal in the various lines
of construction material.
To hope to, get things humming again in this
country without this industry, hand-in-hand with
real estate, going out in front would to hope that
we can some day get calaboose to travel without
a locomotive pulling it.-Juian S. Miller in Char
lotte Observer.

MORE MONEY FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS

Attorney General Brummitt, using the column
of Frank Smethurst in the News and Observer,
stalks boldly to the fore with the declaration that
if he was a regular editor of daily newspaper,
he would start crusade to keep it up until sue
cessful to get the school teachers of the state a
more respectable salary.
Whatever he would or could do about it, the
fact remains that this is a task of consummate
Importance that lies just ahead of US. ..-
The present situation is not at all inspiring.
While expenditures for education for the nation
at large was reduced rs per cent during the de-
preston, in this state they were reduced nearly
so per cent.
In rural schools the expenditures for the nation
were reduced % per cent while in North Carolina
the reduction was al per cent. In 1882, North
Carolina spent an average of $42 for each school
child, while the average for the nation was $SS,
double that for this state. The average teachers
salary for that year for North Carolina was $799,
whereas for the nation it was $1,417, or double,
The average in North Carolina last year $3.50.

it did, the aforementioned judge
would come in for his share. The
Judge, after ordering the belli-
cose telephone user to buy the
telephone manager a new shirt,
sold him five tickets to the fire
mems ball; all of which en-
phasizes again the kind of ma
terial we are likely to kind on
some benches.
We seem to have the idea that
any old somebody can be a mag
istrate or a police judge, that it
doesn't matter whom we elect or
appoint to these minor judicial
positions. Yet the fact is, that
our lower courts, where most Of
our sorry judges are to be found,
handle 80 per cent of our crimi-
nal cases. Ninety per cent of our
law offenders go before the low
er Judges. Yet it is VIGOROUSLY
true that a large percentage OF
these lower judges are totally
unqualified for their work. Po-
liticallv elected or politically APP
pointed, they play politics with
their offices: they are devoid of
a sense of the fitness of things
they leak discrimination, judicial
training and too often, they are
sadly deficient in integrity.

of government on private initiative.
81 do not mean by this to reject that there is
no place for government beside business and as a
brake for the correction of evils. But do say, to
repeat myself, that we do not burn down the barn
to rid ourselves of the rats.

CHARLOTTE THE CENTER

During the textile strike, the termination of
which was received with much relief by all con-
cerned and not concerned, there were among the
strikers in the Carolnas nine deaths by violence.
And that was shocking and truly distressing, but il
so happens that in Charlotte alone during the pre-
ceding month, with no strike in progress nearly
half as many people met an equally final death by
violence.
The homieides in Charlotte during August were
four. Added to the killings of the first seven
months the total for 1913 so far is 25, which is at
the rate of more, than five month or 81 year.
Strike no strike, Charlotte maintains it's posi-
ton as one of the Leading homicide producers in
the rland.-Charlotte News.

out Of inferior judges in our in

Judges Of the inferior or the

feet the destinies of nine times

Judge in the police court is a
deadly enemy to simple justice

wrecks person after person. By
his failure to appreciate the dig

destroys and tears down, where

He makes a mockery Of his court.
He prostitutes justice; his kind,
as much as any other influence,
has caused the American people
to lose confidence in the Ameri-

much to blame as anyone else for
the fact that the administration
of justice in American courts is

Pontiac Autos Create
Business for Railroads
Shipments of Products and
Materials Require
$4,000 Cars.
By Times Special

By Times Special
PONTIAC, Mich, March 28.-The
automobile industry plays a very
important part in the railroad bust
ness of this country today.
More than $4,000 freight cars will
be required to haul that part Of
Pontiac 1884 production that will be
shipped by rail, according to E. b.
Rogers, traffic manager of the
Pontiac Motor Company.
Although the motor car is direct
competitor of the railroads in freight
and passengers carried over the
highways, Mr.. Rogers pointed out
that the automotive industry doubt
less has contributed more to the
expansion and prosperity of all rail-
roads thr oughout the country dur
ing the last twenty-five years than
any other single factor.
Figures prepared by the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce
show that last year 1921 900 car
loads of automotive freight were
hauled over the tracks of American
railroads. Revenues to the roads
from this source ran close to $780,
100000. Automotive freight accounts
for Is per cent of the total railway
traffic of the country.
1T is difficult to estimate how
many railroad men are given en-
ployment because of the motor car
industry" Mr.. Rogers said, but
figures compiled in our own depart
ment show that approximately 1,2C0
freight cars will be in continuous
use day after day to take care OF
the IS per cent of Pontiac's 1884
production that will be shipped by
rail An additional fifty cars are in
constant use hauling incoming ma
terials and supplies to the factory
"On the basis of ninety freight
cars per train as an average, there
will be fifteen freight trains with
locomotives and crews serving Pont-
lac Motor Company at all tim les
Seven men constitute the average
train crew and three crews a day
are required to keep all trains mo-
ing. This means more than 30C
railroad men employed by the rail-
roads just to move the freight Of
the Pontiac Company.
"Of the 10000 Pontiac straight
Fights to be built in 1884" continued
Mr.. Rogers. Approximately 112,50C
will leave the plant by rail"

new FEATURES
NOTED IN 1884
FORD VICTORIA
Luggage Space and More
Leg Room Improve
Latest Offering.

A new Ford va car. the Victoria
for 1884, has just been put on dis
play at the showrooms of Indian
apolis Ford dealers.
According to r. A. Hayes, branch
manager Of the Ford Motor Com
pany, the Victoria has many new
features.
The entire rear panel of the body
opens on hinge, revealing a large
luggage compartment capable of
holding three to five pieces of bag
gage, depending upon size. When
closed, the compartment and its
contents are concealed completely.
The compartment may be left open
to provide additional space, the top
being covered by a canvas boot
which is provided with the car" Mr..
Hayes explained.
The Victoria has a longer body
than the other Ford Va models, so
that there is increased leg room for
passengers in the rear seat as we'll
as the additional space required for
luggage. The car is streamlined
sleekly, with the rear quarter slop-
ing forward from the skirted gaso-
line tank to the roof
The Victoria, as is all other Ford
models for 1884, is powered by the
va engine with dual downdraft
carburetion and dual intake mani
fold, through which the motor gains
approximately II per cent in power.
Gasoline economy has been i'm
proved between two and three miles
a gallon.
Among the body refnements in
the new Fords is the clear-vision
ventilation system. which is built
into the body. Individual control is
provided for both front and rear
windows, Mr.. Hayes concluded.
