Safety Records Set

The scheduled air lines of the
United States set new safety rec
ords by flying 99O,66O miles per &C
cident and 4c,714,6S6 passenger
miles per passenger fatality in the
first half of 1885. Although the to-
tai number of miles flown was large
(26,729,12S miles the number of
accidents was unusually small. Air
transport craft were involved in 90
accidents in the first half of 1885.

Jones Represents
Ashe At College

WAKE FOREST, Dec. &c. T.
Jones of West Jefferson is Ashe
county's representative among the
1000 students enrolled this year at
Wake Forest College.
Mr.. Jones, who is a sophomore,
is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. B. A.
Jones. In addition to making a fine
record in studies leading to the
Bachelor of Arts Degree, he is TAX
ing an active part in the campus
life at the Baptist institution.
During the past five years, the
administration of President Thur
man D. Kitchin, the enrolment at
Wake Forest has almost doubled,
and the physical plant has been
materially expanded.
Beginning in 1882 with the con-
struction of a new medical build
ing, not month has passed when
some building project was not un-
derway. The college now points
with pride to over 100000 worth
of new buildings, including, be-
sides the medical school structure,
anew administration building, ath-
letic stadium, gymnasium and stu
dents union.
This recent development at Wake
Forest, North Cardinals senior
Baptist institution and the oldest
and largest Baptist College for men
in the United States, was made
possible largely by its $4,000 alum
nj whose contributions have paid
for all Of the new plant, except
$4,000, and donations are still COM
ing in.

OUR CONGRESSMAN BACK
ON THE JOB

After taking the first vacation he
has ever INDUCED in his life, Con-
gresham r. L. Doughton, known in
Washington as the hardest worker
there, is back from trip to the
Philippines where he and Mrs.
Doughton attended the Inaugural
ton of the first President of the
islands that have been under the
control of the United States since
we stepped in and helped them out
Of little trouble many years ago.
Mr.. Doughton is the only farmer
in the delegation of representatives
from North Carolina which is
probably one of the many reasons
why he is at work hours before and
hours after his colleagues have
either not begun the day or have
ended it. His district is a farming
district and he is one of the largest
land owners in it. What legislation
he has hand in passing reacts for
good or bad on him as it does on
his constituents and he keeps an
eagle eye always out for disapprov-
al of any detrimental measures in
PRODUCED by those who don't under
stand the hard lot of the dirt farm
er. He knows their problems from
actual experience.
In the position Mr.. Doughton now
is Of influence and power in the
capital of our nation, and after
three years Of the hardest work OF
lifetimes, it must be gratifying
for him to return home from his
holiday and read headlines such as
these in Associated Press dispatches
which appeared in the Sunday and
Monday newspapers of the state:
Sharply increasing cotton ex-
ports seen as answer to critics on
farm aid plans" November ship.

NEW YORK CITY DEMANDS
FLAG REVERENCE

New York City has enacted an
ordinance by the terms of which
the American flag must be shown
at all public political gatherings.
New York is made up of citizens
of almost every country besides
that of the United States, but there
has been little serious trouble in
seeing that the foreign element
there give proper respect to the
American flag until recently atten-
ton was called to the fact that a
group called the American Friends
of Soviet Russia refused to salute
our colors or display them.
We are known throughout the
world as being most lenient ma
ton with all persons who would
express contrary opinions to our
government. In many countries even
an honest criticism of the govern
ment lands the criticiser in Jail. The
United States is surely the land of
the free. If anyone were found in
Russia so bold as to organize a
group called the Friends of Capital
and hold open meetings, he would
do more than be forced to do honor
to the Soviet flag. He would have
just cause to sing, I'm the prison
cell sit"

Italy is demanding four more
definite concessions in the peace
plan proposed by England and
France as a means of stopping the
Italo- Ethiopian war. The plan pro-
posed is to allow Italy to keep the
territory she has taken in the Afri-
can country and to give Ethiopia
seaport with corridor leading to
it. Italy declares the peace scheme
is inadequate and demands more
for her part. She is far from admit
ting that she has had enough of
this war and rather indicates that
if she does not get what she wants
she will take it anyway. It would
appear that Emperor Halle Selassie
is going to be left out in the hall
whether he gets his corridor or not.

A Mistaken Impression

Some Of Mayor Bettwys friends are laboring IN.
der the impression that The international is pecng
at him.
In such belief they are mistaken
This paper has no grievance against the Mayor.
So far We have simply printed the news and made no
editorial attack Oh either Mr. BettWy or the alder
men.
Whenever we feel that either the Mayor alder
need criticism we do it freely and it will be far
from what could be called "pecking'
We shall always publish the news irrespective Of
personal friendship for members of the new admin
istration and we censure if the occasion arises In
our editorial columns
and that they'll go down in history as an adminisra-
ton that really did big constructive things for No
gales We would much rather praise than censure
Mayor Bettwy and the aldermen have the chance
OF lifetime to put through program of great bene-
fit for Nogalians and we hope they'll do it.
The international was absolutely Independent in
the spring canpaign-lined up with neither the Bet
tWy nor the Wise f0rces-and nothing has happened
since that would make lis swallow everything, hook,
line and all, that the regime might undertake in
violation of law

depend more the Constitution and less on the by
laws.

Moratorium On Bonded Indebtedness

Nogales taxpayers Will get relief, temporarily at
least, if Mayor Bettwy and the board OF aldermen
make their moratorium stick
The city fathers at meeting Monday night de-
clared a moratorium bonded Indebtedness OF the
city and unless bondholders institute mandams pro
ceedngs there will be much lower tax rate the next
several years.
The step taken by Nogales is unusual and already
we understand other cities planning to follow suit
Such moratorium is in a way similar to per-
son declaring moratorium on note owing bank.
Bondhoders like bank, take steps to force pay
nent Maybe the bondhoders won't.
It's needless to say that Nogaians need a breath
ing spell from taxation. The combined rate for No
gales taxpayers than S8 per $1O0 assessed val
uation is almost confiscatory and has wrecked many
persons and viii wreck more, if not reduced.
If the city bonds can be refunded over period OF
30 years. as it is believed they can the community will
undoubtedly again find it necessary to default
on principal and interest, and holders of the bonds
will get their money regularly.
When the bonds were issued times were good and
there was no indication that great depression was
on the way.

Frightening The Lives Of The Criminals

Last Wednesday the Arizona board of pardons
and paroles shortened the sentence Of Richard Nash
Burrows from forty to six years, making him eligible
for parole in 1887 It is quite likely he will be set free
within the next two years.
The crime Burrows committed was dark anG
atroclOus as any murder IN the history OF Arizona.
About five years ago he "picked up a hitch-
hiker between Ehrenberg and Wlckenburg by Jack

The Fireworks Nuisance

Mayor Bettwy is said to have instructed the po-
lice to let children have good time shooting off fire
works
We believe the mayor is right insofar as the 4th
Of July is concerned but we see no reason for any
shooting between now and the Fourth.
On independence Day, a holiday, parents can
find time to watch their youngsters but any busy par
ent cannot find the time every day until the 4th.
Fireworks mighty dangerous Each year hun
The mayor should see to it that fireworks are
shot off until the Fourth Of July Then there would
be no chance Of children getting hurt the next ten
days and danger Of buildings being set fire by
fireworks
Many communities prohibit fireworks on the
Fourth of July and all other days of the year
