AID FOR SMALL
BUSINESS DUE
BY International News Service

By International News Service
President Roosevelt has def
nitely decided to act on behalf Of
the small business man in need
of ready cash.
Within the next 10 days, the
Administration will submit to
Congress it's intermediate indus
trial credit bank bill which was
estimated by Secretary Of the
Treasury Morgenthau and Gov.
Eugene r. Black, of the Federal
Reserve Board, to be potentially
instrumental in putting more
than 100000 men to work.
Officials of the board declared
there are many small industries
in the United States which can
not obtain credit at the banks to
procure raw materials and place
their plants on a production basis,
despite the fact they have excel
lent markets for their materials.
Officials said that by the ex-
tension of the necessary credit
these industries could resume
operation and provide employ
ment for an indefinite number of
employees. Additional thousands
would be given work supplying
raw materials required by these
producers, it was declared.

SAN FRANCISCO, March II
U.N.S0.-The world is brisNing
with bayonets-another war is on
the way.
But the United States should
stay out of it-at least until Amer
lean shores or rights are invaded
These are the opinions of a man
who knows something about wars
and nations-Lieut. Gen. Hunter
Liggett, U. S. A., retired, one of
Americas outstanding military fig
ureS.
Why is war coming?
Inevitably Human
Human nature" says the gen.
eral. 1--WE are only half civil
ized-the whole world is only
half civilized. 1t makes me laugh
to hear what fine state of CIV
iliZatiOn we have reached.
"Men want to fight-at least
some of them do, and they'll pull
in the ones that don't want to.
Men have always wanted to fight
for various reaSOnS--pOWer,
money, glory or just the love of
battle-and they want to fight
now. Furthermore, they'll want
to fight for a long time-untiI
human nature is changed-and
that will be mighty long time.
Nations are only associations
of individuals, with all the fail
ingS, hatredS, pettineSs and vi
ciOuSneSs of individuals. There
fore nations will fight for what
they want-that'S war"
Where is war coming?
II don't know" says the gen.
eral, "but from the bottom of
my heart I hope we are not in
it, for war is stupid, futile and
horrible.
CONFLICT is COMING
"But conflict is coming, al
though cannot say where or
when.
Germany, for one, cannot
fight for at least another gener-
alton. The country hasn't her
resources nor the preparation
now.
France is in good condi-
tiOn-aII ready.
"The situation in the Orient
isn't critical. in my opinion.
All Russia wants is to be let
alone, given a chance to work
out her salvation economically,
politically and financially. She
isn't looking for trouble with
Japan or any other nation.

we can stay out of trouble and

Maxwell continued. "After a deb

ING taxes to support it that would

fore. the most effective means Of
limiting tax rates is to tackle the
problem at the source by a limi-

'The present constitution con-
tains no debt limitation for local
governments and an unadjustable
limitation for the state. The pro-
posed constitution contains an ad-
Unstable limitation of debt for
both state and local governments.
This permits continued borrow

payments. The adoption of this
provision would guarantee an or

the tax load. If we went to pre-
serve a heritage for our children

of protection we can put into the

There is nothing revolutionary,
or even radical, in the proposed
constitution, but it does provide
the means for a consistent revi-

Sir Iyai;Pr liotel

RALEIGH. April 3.-The many
advantages which the proposed
new state constitution as worked
ont by the 1888 general assembly
and the state constitutional COM
mission, which will be submitted
to vote of the people for adop-
ton or rejection in the November
election this fall, were pointed
out bv Commissioner of Revenue
A. ]. Maxwell, in talk before
the University of North Carolina
Law School in Chapel Hill last
night. Mr.. Maxwell was q mem
her of the constitutional commits
sion which drew up the original
draft of the new constitution
which it submitted to the 1888
general assembly and which was
not changed materially by that
body.
For some weeks now there has
been an increasing interest in the
new constitution and the Oppon-
ents of its adoption, regarded as
belonging to the reactionary and
ultra-conservative wing Of the
Democratic party, under the lead
ership of Attorney General Dem
mis- G.. Brummitt and former Lieu
tenant Governor r. T. Fountain,
have been carrying on more
and more intensive campaign
against it. While Mr.. Maxwell
did not refer to any one by name
nor to the campaign against the
new document, his address IS re-
earded as a reply to some of the
charges that have been made con-
corning it.
sit is true that the proposed
constitution does not rely upon
arbitrary constitutional provisions
to fix tax rates. This method of
tax protection has been found In
our own experience to be wholly
unreliable and unwCrkable," Mr..
Maxwell said.
First we tried a constitutional
limitation of the composite rate
of tax for state and counties of
sc 2-3 cents. This became so un-
workable that it was thrown out
by amendment in 1919, and linn
itation of Is cents for county
levies for general expenses sub
stituted for it leaving no limita-
ton for schools, roads and debt
service.
"To illustrate the worthless
character of this limitation, levies
were made for general expenses
last year in 90 of the 100 coun-
ties that exceeded Is cents. These
levies varied from seven and nine
tenths cents in the lowest to sew
enty-five cents in the highest
county. The limitation loses its
value as a constitutional mandate
when it gives the unlimited right
to exceed it upon authorization OF
the general assembly"
The wide variety of rates which
different counties find it neces.
sary to levy shows the utter i'm.
practicability of trying to fix ir
the constitution of the state :
uniform limitation on tax rates
for all counties, Mr.. Maxwell said
