Census Of Business
TO Be Taken, Here
80 EnumeratOrS Will Be Named
Within Next Few Days; Will
Get Authoritative Data

Col. C. F. McAllister, who has
been named local Supervisor of the
Census of Business, today announc-
ed that enumeration work will
start in the 9th District on January
End. He said 80 enumerators will be
named within the next few days to
make the canvass in this district,
which includes Alexander, Ale
ghany, Ashe, Cabarrus, Caldwell,
Iredell, Rowan, Stanly, and Watau-
ga counties.
Offices of the Census are to be
established in Salisbury, and staff
of 3 or 4 persons will be employed
to handle the work. All Census en-
rloyees are bound by a strict Gen.
sus oath not to reveal any informa-
ton contained on business reports
and the law makers any violation
a criminal offense.
Mr.. McAllister stated that every
retail and wholesale business, all
hotels, places Of amusement, bust
ness service companies, insurance
agencies, real estate offices, and
trucking and bus companies; all
banks, Office building managers and
contractors will be canvassed for
reports on their operations during
the calendar year 1885. The results
are to be tabulated in Philadelphia,
headquarters of the Business Cen
sus, and become the basic statistics
which businesses use in planning
their operating policies.
All enumerators will be instruct
ed thoroughly on all phases OF the
Census, Mr.. McAllister said, prior
to the beginning of the canvass. The
Assistant Supervisor will help con-
duct the training courses.
Supervisor McAlister explained
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1935-12-19

this Census has been extended con-
siderably beyond the limitations of
the Census of Distribution for 1923,
and the Census of American Bust
ness for 1888, as result of business
requests that all fields of business
be included.
ut is designed, he said, ito sup
ply a definite answer to the ques-
ton of bow many concerns there
are in business, the total volume of
annual business, and the total pay
rolls and employment. More than
100 representatives, delegated by
various business associations in
each field to be covered, met with
Census officials and formulated the
questions to be asked"
Retail trade will be divided into
two sixe classifications: Stores with
total sales of $4,000 and over, and
those with sales of less than $4,000.
Commodity data will be sought
from the larger group and from all
wholesale establishments including
exporters, importers, and limited
function wholesalers.
For the first time, Mr.. McAllister
announced, the Census includes
banking and finance for the entire
range of commercial, agricultural
and mortgage and personal credit
finance as well as security brokers
and dealers.
Construction, including building
highway and heavy construction by
contractors is included again, as in
1929. General contractors, operative
builders and sub-conCractors are to
be covered.
Highway and street transporta-
ton, including trucking for hire
and bus operations are included in
the census for the first time. Com
mercial warehousing is included in
the comprehensive plans announced
today.
A census of the business of oper-
ating Office, commercial and other
non-residential buildings will be
made in cities of more than 10000.
For the first time the operations of
insurance companies, agents and
brokers, real estate brokers and
dealers, management and rental
agents as well as the business as
poets of non-profit associations and
organizations of every type, (exclu-
sive of religious bodies) are includ-
ed in the Census.
The census of Service establish
ments, which in 1888 included only
personal, business and mechanical
repair services, is extended in the
plans to include certain classes OF
Observation-Disclosures persons. Mr.
McAllister explained these include
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1935-12-19

advertising counsellors, architects,
auditors, certified public account
ants, engineering services, private
detective agencies, market research
services, map drawing and cartog-
raphy services, and sales consul
tants. Theaters and hotels are to be
covered as in 1929 and 1888, he
said.
Col. McAllister declared the pres
ent census is in answer to the re-
quest of business for dependable
1885 information for sounder plan
ming of expansion programs, and is
a continuation of the similar bust
ness censuses of 1929 and 1888.

Nevertheless, the implied presi-
Dental threat of another veto if the
bonus payment bill passes again next
session is an important administra-
ton card. 1t probably could be played
to influence the methods of the pay
ment if not to prevent the payment
itself. It conceivably could so alter
the terms Of the measure as to strip
it Of much of the inflationary effect
of the outlay of more than $2,OOO,-
100000. It might substitute a plan Of
payment over a period of two or
three years, the theory Of the Byrnes-
Steiwer bill.
It hardly can be doubted that such
considerations entered largely into
President ROosevelt's decision to sign
the Spanish war pension restoration.

DOughtOn Praised
for Work in Behalf
Of His FeLLOlU Man

It is nothing unusual for a fellow
politician to praise member of his
own party, but it is not so often that
a Republican praises a Democrat or
vice versa. Congressman r. L.
Doughton was paid such tribute in
the house of representatives Satur-
day.
An ovation greeted Representative
Treadway, of Massachusetts,, ranking
Republican on the committee on ways
and means, of which Doughton is
chairman, when he informed the
house:
"I have been member of the COM
mittee for 20 years, longer than any
other member, and can honestly,
frankly and sincerely say that during
all that time the committee has never
been presided over by man whose
heart was more in sympathy with his
fellow man.
eve have had differences in the
committee, but when they were over
they were forgotten and no man has
been more responsible for that good
feeling than our own fair chairman"

White House Maintains that Action
on Spanish War Pension Is
No Indication

The significant thing to remember
with respect to President Roosevelt's
action in signing the bill to restore
Spanish war pension rates and thus
wipe out the last Of the famous
economy" measures Of last session
is the votes by which house and SEN
ate passed that bill. Technically it
went through the house unanimously
Not even the formality Of voice
vote was needed. It passed the senate
"a to /, Hastings, Delaware, Republi-
can campaign committee chief, alone
voting against it.
Faced by that record, MIR. RoOse-
welt had tire courses open to him. He
could veto the bill, we'll knowing it
could be no more than a conservative
gesture; that Congress hardly would
pause in it's stride toward adjourn
ment to override his veto. He could
let the bill become a law without his
signature at the expiration Of 10
days, which he almost did. Or he
could accept the inevitable and sign
it. Good politics with the approaching
presidential campaign in mind would
seem to point to that last course
Yet there was another problem in
volved for the President. Unquestion-
ably his signature Of the bill was
read by world war veteran groups as
a certain sign that the pay-the-bonus
bill will go through at the scheduled
senate test next January.
"He's weakening; we'll get our
bonus in January" was the comment
heard everywhere among veterans
when they received the news of the
signing of the Spanish war bill.
The reservation made in the White
House statement that the President S
action on the Spanish war measure
was not to be taken as an index of
changed attitude toward the world
war bonus payment plan in no wise
checked that feeling either among
veteran spokesman or press gallery
onlookers. They foresaw situation
where the bill, in some form, was al
most certain of enactment next win

Huey Long Starts TRADE in Last
Hours; Many Problems Yet
to Be Settled
BOB DOUGHTON COMES HOME

In spite of hours of ceasless fill
clustering by Huey Long, Kingfish Of
Louisiana, on the eve Of adjournment
both houses of Congress in Washing
ton called it day at midnight Monday
and disbanded for vacation which
they had hoped to take in the late
spring. But all hopes for short and
easy session next year smothered by
a mass of unsettled problems. i
A tough and probably; prolonged
election year assembly was projected
by such leftover issues as NRA1leg-
islation, neutrality, cash bonus, infla-
ton, social security and farm relief.
One of the primary purposes in
holding Congress here through sum-
mer months was the desire of New
Deal chieftains to wipe from the cleo
ton year legislative slate virtually
every controversy.
But some of the most perplexing
issues merely were brushed aside un-
til next session and others only tenn
porarily settled.
Conflicting claims came from the
departing leaders as they reviewed
the accomplishments of the session
which died ingloriously at midnight
last night with Senator Longs, DEM
ocrat of Louisiana, filibuster blocking
action on the $1O2,OOO,OOO third de-
ficiency bill.
Senator Robinson. Democratic lead
err, in a statement written for the AS
ISOLATED Press contsnded that "prac-
tically every problem that touches
human interest has been made easier
Of solution by the legislation enact
ed"
On the other side, Senator Dickin-
son, Republican Of Iowa, in another
statement to the Associated Press,
forecast the session would be remem-
bered for "ill-advised legislation" ex-
travagant appropriations and $4,000
OOO, 900 for work-relief "waste."
Congressman r. L Doughton, who
has worked necessarily throughout
the entire session, is expected at his
home in Sparta this week where he
will remain until he and Mrs. Dough-
ton leave for the PHILIPPINES on a
long-delayed vacation. ..~. .... 49,.

Governor May Call Legislature
Together Again Before Winter
Three Questions Need to Be Settled
but Security Act Calls for
Immediate Attention

The liquor question, the exemption
less sales tax, and the new social
security law are, within themselves,
enough to cause a reassembling of,
the legislature, but Raleigh politici-
ans, who are predicting that Cover
nor Ehringhaus will call a special
session within the next month or
two, say that even the representa-
tives and the senators know too much
to start on the sales tax and the Ii
quor question.
A writer in the Greensboro Daily
News sums up the situation:
"The counties now selling ABC IL
quor are profiting by it. The state
could ask with more grace than the
counties that this sizeable source Of
revenue be turned over to the state,
the best agncy for conrolling liquor,
The counties, having felt the tax
pressure and then its partial lifting
are ready to fight state control, and
there is a big mess which may be
taken up.
"Then an amended sales tax law
either with exemptions or a general
reduction in the rate would most GER
tainly come up, unless there was a
gentleman's agreement to keep it
down. And it is possible for legisla-
tors to break such compacts. One of
the biggest objections to calling the
special session has been the sales tax.
1t will be a big political issue next
year no matter how we'll it works.
But with renewed agitation it would
be something fearful.
"Then the dominating reason for a
special session would be legislation to
make operative the national social Sc
curity act which Congress has just
passed and about which President
Roosevelt in part spoke tonight. -
Governor Ehringhaus tried to do
something about this legislation dur
ing the late hours of the assembly,
but the legislature could not know
what Congress would do, Congress it.
self did not know. There was some
legislative work done whereby gifts
and grants might be used by the
state, but the tax features which
alone could make the federal bill OPP
erative were unknown and the state
could not legislate in the dark. The
social security act of Congress will
cause the special session if anything
does"
