ONE of our Christmas SYM

there is one which is only
80 years old. Although it had

also that if they would take a
larger amount Of these notes so
that the state would not have to
borrow so much in New York,
that they might considtr reducing
the interest rate on time deposits.
The bankers thought it over, de-
cided to reduce their interest
rates from 6 per cent to 4 l-2
per cent and take a larger por-
ton of North Carolina notes. This
forced the New York bankers to
reduce their interest rate to 4 1-2
per cent also.
Despite the fact that between
S5,OOO.OOO and $6,000,000 worth
of North Carolina money is on
deposit in banks in the state at
the present time. this amount va
ries so from week to week and
month to month that the banks
really cannot derive much benefit
from it. Johnson said today, since
it is all subject to call any time
and also must be secured by the
banks. As a result the Council of
State decided that since the bank
ers had done their part by help
ing the state, it would help them
out some by reducing the interest
rate to three-fourths of one per
cent. This rate can be increased
again at any time.

RALEIGH, March 12.-Three
things pointed out to members OF
the State Democratic executive
committee by Governor j. c. B.
Ehringhaus are still sticking in
the minds of those who heard his
speech before the committee here

ment heard on all sides in the
capital. These three things are:
/. The fact that the states to-
tai budget for all purposes is now
approximately S48,000,000 year,
including highways and schools,
while during the last two years of
Governor Gardeners administra-
ton and as set up by the 1881
general assembly, the total yearly
budget was $55,OOO,OOO, so that
the present budget is $13,000,00O
less per year than for the two
foregoing years.
2. That North Carolina is con-
tinuing to pay federal taxes
amounting to between $175,00O,-
900 to $2OO,O00,000 year. or
more than five times as much as
the people pay in state taxes,
with little or no objection. thus
next to New York state
in the payment of federal taxes.
8. That every dollar collected
bv the state of North Carolina is
expended approximately as fol-
lows:
Forty cents for the support of
the statewide 8 months school
system.
Thirty cents for the payment
of interest and principal on all
state debts.
Seventeen cents for the main
tenance of more than $4,000

DIES MONIES, Ia, March II.
(UP).-A four-state governors
conference on agricultural prob
lens adjourned last night after
deciding to petition President
Roosevelt to peg the prices OF
farm commodities. :,
The governors also decided ~
create a permanent 15-state mlu-
west governors association "
work on problems common 10
corn belt states. ,u
Climaxing two days of discuss
ing with about $50 representa-
tives of farm organizations, GOV
ernor Floyd B. Olson of Mime
sofa was delegated by the con-
ferees to write President koose-
Welt detailing the conference con-
illusions. Pending receipt by MI
Roosevelt of this letter. It's con-
tents were not divulged.
Governor Olson, Governor Clyde
L. Herring of Iowa, Governor A.
G. Schmedeman of Wisconsin,
Lieut.. Gov. Clifford Townsend Of
Indiana and Joe Plummer, Rep
resenting the Governor of Colo
RADIO, agreed to the conclusions:
Price fixing was unanimously
agreed to be the prime need of
midwestern agriculture. 1t was
understood that Olson's letter to
the president will outline primar-
lily:
First. Recognition of agricul-
ture as major industry and
therefore subject to regulation by
the NRA or as a utility.
Second, In exchange for price
fixing, the farmers will cooper
ate with the government in any
plan of crop control, but such
plan should be compulsory to all
farmers and cover all basic farm
commodities.
After the executive session of
governors representatives which
concluded two days of open meet
ings Olson. said that the senti-
ment was in favor of leaving the
subject of fair price for agri-
cultural products to future hear
ings by congress or the depart
ment of agicultue.
The ultimate goal, Olson said,
should be cost of poduction plus
reasonable profit. The gov
ernors are prepared to submit to
workable method of production
control to the AAA, if such help
is requested, Olson announced.

van outhurled Mulloch, converted

little redhead. Most of Eastern s
runs, though, came largely through
robust batting, while three of West
ern'S four markers resulted from
errors.
Eastern hoped into the lead in the
first inning, scoring two runs. Joe
Mills and Keegin walked and both
counted, when Brennan, Western first
baSeman, threw over Catcher Wynne S
head attempting to flag Mills. who
broke for home as BaSSin was thrown
out at first
In the third Western gained the
lead when it showed across three of
its four runs. Mullock. Boundford and
Corcoran counted the tallies. Mullock
and Boundford singled and Corcoran
got on through Shortstop Cuozzo s
error, Mullock meanwhile scoring. An
other error by CuozZo, an overthrow
OF home, enabled Boundford to cash,
and Corcoran raced across on Wynnes

fourth when he was safe on a fielders

Young Griffith's physical condition

Edward Morris, for an ailing appendix

rubber the assignment will be given to
one of four others-Bill Tarver, Dick
Nichols, Jimmy Howell and Archie
Scrivener.
The Colonials dropped their two
earlier games with Vermont and St.
MaryS Celtics, in which the wildness
of Scrivener contributed more than
any other factor to the opponents

Scrivener. who possesses an un-

that marked him an outstanding
