Uncovering a probable change of

berg the presidents recovery CO.
ordinator, has advised American
business to leave the ''lopsided guild
socialism" of price fixing and pro-
duction control in favor of "the
old competitive system"
He labeled an "irridescent dream
the belief of some industrialists
that permanent prosperity can b.
obtained through the price-fxing
production-limiting method. AT
the same time, he asserted such pra-
%ctices were justified in emergencies
to prevent the waste of natural re-
sources.
These statements, coming from
the head of the policy committee
which is directing the Blue Eagles
course, were interpreted immedi-
ately as pointing away from fixed
prices and limited production ii
jNRA codes. The gradual reopen
ing of all major codes on these is
sues was forecast.
Business men themselves, Rich
berg said had been thoroughly
"disillusioned' in a year of code
application of the price and pro-
duction control they desired. These
same industrial ranks frankly were
questioning the wisdom of theil
own provisions, he added. He pro-
ijected a process Of working Out the

He fired half a dozen times in

May Act
10 Get Unpaid
License Taxes
Delinquent Doctors And
Lawyers May Be Sum-
moned Before Court
ONE CITED HERE

Procedure looking toward having
lawyers, doctors and other profess
sional men of the city, county and
state, cited for failure to pay their
state license taxes, and show cause
before Superior court why their
to practice in North Caro-
lima should not be revoked, has been
instituted by the state revenue de-
partment and its several branches
throughout the state.
One professional man was cited
in Salisbury the last term of court.
The tax was paid and his license
was not revoked. Others, THE
WATcHMAN is Informed, have
been notified of their delinquency,
with possible subsequent citation.
The plan of action, as outlined
by the collector calls for each pro-
fessional man named in the execu-
lions to be notified that his tax is
due and that the papers are in the
hands Of the local office.
After this notice has been given,
the delinquenct taxpayers are allow
ed "a hours in which to comply
with the revenue law. If the tax is
not then paid, the executions are
turned over to the sheriff, and he
is instructed to make the collections
plus the 20 per cent penalty now
in effect.
If for any reason the sherif's Of
fcers cannot collect on the execu-
tons, they are to be turned back to
the deputy collector, who is then
instructed to file with the Judge
presiding v superior court and
with the clerk of court citations in
which the delinquent taxpayer is
ordered to appear before the court
and show cause why his license to
practice his profession in the state
should not be revoked under the
North Carolina revenue act.
This procedure, it was pointed
out, applies only to the delinquents
who come under the provisions of
Section 100 in the privilege license
tax division. In the case of delin-
quent taxpayers under the regu1a-
ton license tax division and in the
sales tax division the act makes pro-
vision for issuance of warrents
those who do not pay as provided
by the statute.
In addition to the judgments,
there is the execution and the cita-
ton already filled out and ready to
be put into effect, it was pointed
out. Orders have been issued from
Raleigh headquarters to proceed
with vigor in the matter Of making
collections in all branches of the
state revenue act, it was stated.
The professional mems tax went
into effect on the first of June this
year, and there is now a 20 per
cent penalty added to- the S25 re-
gulation levy.

Classifying the Work.
The President and
Congress
Richberg and Williams
The New MIRA Set-up

The big worry of the Admins
tration is still the matter of unem-
ployment. How are workers going
to be put back to work? Four-hfths
of all the activities of the Govern
ment are now being focused on
that question. 1t lies at the bot
tom of the reorganization of the
NRA. 1t was the keynote of the
Presidents radio talk to the ma
ton the other night. And nobody
has come forward with an answer
which satisfies everybody.
Perhaps the new NRA organiza-
ton will work out a formula that
will do the trick. Washington is
not at all sold on the theory which
is being advanced in several quar-
tiers, and which seems to be gain
ing ground, that in the best of
times there are always three million
men out of work, on any given
date. The principal trouble with
all the discussion of unemployment
is that nobody really knows how
many able-bodied, willing workers
are out of work, now, or at any
time in the past. There never has
been-perhaps there never can be-
an accurate separation of the un.
employed into the two or threi
classes into which they naturally
fall.

There are the skilled, competent
workers, who give a days work for
a days pay; the seasonal workers
who prefer to loaf in of-seasons,
and the unemployables, who often
manage to get on payrolls III the
hushest of flush times but work
only when necessity drives.
There is coming to be a general
agreement in Administration circles
that a high proportion-some put it
at 80 per cenr-of all the present
unemployment is in the so-called
durable goods" industries. The
major industry in this category is
building, and that does not mean
homes alone, bur factories, hotels,
hospitals, railroads, ships. and every
other sort of construction work
which produces things which are
not Immediately eaten up or worn
out but are useful to earn money
for their owners.
Financing durable goods indus
tries requires longtime capital in
vestments. And it is precisely there
that the difficulty begins of Undue
ing private capital to invest. Banks
can't lend-ought not to lend
money on deposit subject to call,
on long-term mortgage loans Or
bond issues. The amended Securi-
ties Act makes it somewhat easier
to float bond issues for such pur-
poses.
