BELIEVES CROSSING GATES
WOULD AID SAFETY

By East Side Resident
If the railroads are determined
to block installation of more eff
fective safeguards at Indianapolis
crossings, why not enforce the ordi-
nance that limits the speed of trains
to 10 miles an hour in the first
district, IS miles in the second dis.
trict and 20 miles in the third dis
trict?
All railroads entering Indianap-
oils call attention to this ordinance
in their employees timecards, but
it seems to be completely disre-
garded. Irvington is in the third
or 0-mile-an-h district, but
trains, especially when inbound,
pass through at speeds varying from
so to rs miles an hour. An example
of this terrific speed was shown
recently when a train killed two
women at Audubon-rd. 1t required
a distance Of seven blocks to bring
the train to an emergency stop. The
installation Of crossing gates in
place Of fashers would, of course,
be better than merely reducing the
speed, but persons would have more
time to realize a train was ap-
preaching.

nomic, that we endure.
What matters whether we produce
decent standard of living for the
masses, so long as we can point with
pride to the Constitution? Social
lied production would destroy our
liberty to live on the 'pauper" in
come of 1884. Socialized medicine
might give the profession decent
living and the public a higher
health standard, but what's the use?

CONVICT BRUTALITY
IS NOW UNDER FIRE
Highway Board Digs Into
Perquimans Whippings
To Learn Truth
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
BV G.. A. PAJJT,

Raleigh, April 8.-Capus Waynick,
chairman Of the State Highway and
Public Works Commission, says there
will he a thorough showdown in
the case of the convict whippings of
last week at the Perquimans county
prison camp. Captain Tolar, superin-
tendent Of the camp, is reported to
have. said that he ordered rebellious
convicts whipped after he had re-
ceived orders to that effect from "a
superior officer" No record, says Mr..
Waynick can be found here of nay
order to that effect. AS a result an
investigating agent has been sent to
the camp by the prison department.
The Perquimans county whippings
were administered last week after a
mutiny by convicts who refused to
leave their living quarterh to work.
The joint legislative penal institu-
tons committee which has been in
vestigating North Cardinals prison
system since Woodrow Shropshire and
Robert Barnes, Negro convicts, had

POLITICS DELAYING
OPTIONAL PENALTY
Bowie Speaks for Measure
To Allow Discretion in
Death Sentence
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
By G. A. PAUL

Raleigh, April 8.-Politics will gain
more attention in the lower house to-
morrow than the clemency bill itself
if preliminary remarks are any indi-
cation of House debate on the bill, al
ready passed the Senate, which would
give to superior court judges discre-
tionary power in capital cases to SEM
tence convicted persons to life impri-
sonment instead Of death. Conviction
on first degree charges of murder,
arson, rape, or burglary now carries
a mandatory death sentence.
The bill, offered by Senators Sum-
mersill and Webb, Democrats, was de-
ferred until tomorrow upon the mo-
ton of Representative Tam Bowie,
arch enemy of Charles Jonas, Re-
publican representative from Lincoln,
Said Representative Bowie: "I don't
know whether or not we ought to con-
slider this bill now. My good friend
Representative Jonas introduced a
bill almost like it earlier in the ses-
sion and this House killed it,

The labor supply is so drained off

viously unemplOyable find Jobs i'm

Farm prices rise tremendously.
Industry and distribution simplv

Finance and speculation are driven
to top speed
Afterward, peace having been re-
stored, the belligerent countries are
out of everything and business con-
tinues to hum while catching up with
their deficiencies.
There are inequalities to be sure.
Agriculture slumps. But industrial
production is kept feverishly active;
distribution, financing and miscella-
neous speculation correspondingly so.
1t is an artificial state of affairs,
certinaly. Being so, it "blows up fl

TEN YEARS OF "PROSPRITY"
All the same, the World war was
followed, in the United States, by
more than 10 years of what was pop
ularly considered super abundant pros
perity.
Wouldn't another war (preferably
q short one) usher in a renewed de
cade of supposed prosperity? II so.
never mind the ensuing slump! Pres

Of them will be dead or moribund by

Of that era do the worrying!

Cussed in such Grass tyrI's.

Chapel Hill, April 8.-North Caro-
first governmental laboratory of any
state in the Union
The proposed building is pictured
herewith. 1t would be the permanent
home of the Institute of Government
And it would serve as q governmental
laboratory and clearing house of in
formation for North Carolina officials
citizens, and students alike.
The plan was announced today by
Albert Coates, director of the institute
which is comprised of upwards or so
grounds of officials, citizens, and stu
dents of government, and which has
a staff Of six full-time men now at
work in the fiel.
"A group of North Carolina build
ing supply men," Mr.. Coates said,
have agreed to donate the materials
provided officials and citizens show
the same faith in their program. That
is, provided they join in sufficient
numbers, in amounts of their choos-
ing, to provide this labor and guar
antee the continuation of the program
The Institute accordingly is MAX
ing it's first Statewide drive for mem
bers April 8-27. On the outcome hinges
North Cardinals chances of becoming
the first state to have its own gov
ernmental laboratory.
Local Schools to Assist.
High school students of government
throughout the State will assist in the
drive.
The Department of Public Instruc-
ton, the Textbook Commission, and
the Education Association of hte
State have UNANIMOUSLY approved the
Institutes materials on the actual
workings of government for use in
the schools.
And the school leaders have worked
out a plan with the Institute whereby
the schools, by securing memberships,
may earn a supply of the Institutes
materials plus funds for their lib
raries.

imprisonment, but only when juries
should unanimously and in writing
recommend mercy. No mention was
made in the Jonas bill of the other
three crimes punishable by death in
North Carolina. The Jonas bill was
killed after a hot battle, in which
charges of political partnership were
hurled back and forth. Many obser-
vers thought the bill met defeat only
because it was offered by a Repub-
lican. Representative Jonas would
like to abolish capital punishment al
together, but is willing to iomprom-
ise on a bill which would grant dis
cretionary powers.
Representative Erwin, of Mecklen-
buri, joined with Representative
Jonas in an effort to secure success
full passage of his bill. A few days
later Republican Jonas came to DEM
ocrat Ervin's rescue in another heat
ed House argument.
Republican House members are saw
ing nothing about the Summersill-
Webb bill, but politics is certain to
be injected in the debate on the bill.

Central Press Staff Writer

New York, April S-The weakness
of the NRA lies i'm it's creation and
protection of monopolies It's strength
lies in certain elements of il that
shorten the hours of labor and bar
child labor.
lC%itics NS MIRA, hbwever, assert
that the monopolistic features are
100 dangerous to b. assuaged by the
benefits of the other features.
Critics of monopolies, and other
problems of the day, are referring to
Henry George, noted American eco
nomic writer of more than half a
century ago.
And the writer of this column has
been making a re-analysis of the
Henry George works. They seem to
touch the problems Of today as clear
sightedly as the problems of the post
Civil War period.
GEORGE ON MONOPOLY
Henry George wrote this on mo-
nopoly in Social Problems" 50 years
ago:
II am not denouncing the rich. nor
seeking, by speaking of these things
to excite envy and hatred. But if
we would get a clear understanding of
social problems, we must recognize
the fact that ii is due to monopolies
which we permit and create, to ad-
vantages which we give one man
over another. TO methods of extor-
ton sanctioned by law and public op-
inion, that some men are enabled to
get so enormously rich while Others
remain so miSerablV Door
If we look around us and note
the elements Of monopoly, extortion
and spoliatiOn which go to the build
ing up Of all or nearly all, fortunes
we see on the one hand how disin-
generous are those who preach to us
that there is nothing wrong in social
relations and that the inequalities in
the distribution of wealth spring from
the inequalities of human nature.
"On the other hand, we see how
wild are those who talk as though
capital were a public enemy, and pro-
pose plans for arbitrarily restricting
the acquisition of wealth Capital is
good the capitalist is helper. if he
is not also monOplist. We can safely
let any one get as rich as he can if
he will not despoil others in doing So"
MAN-NLADE WRONGS
Henry George added:
There are deep wrongs in the pre-
sent constitution of society, but they
are not wrongs inherent in the con-
stitution of man nor in those social
laws which are as truly the laws of
the Creator as are the laws of the
physical universe
There are wrongs resulting from
lad adjustments which it is within
our power 10 amend
The ideal social state is not that
in which each man gets an equal "a
mount of wealth, but i'm which each
man gets in proportion to his contri-
button 10 the general stock"

ing Adolf Hitler's bold decision for
military conscription.
Conflicting attitudes by Rome and
London arei Indicated. italian circles
have shown impatience with Great
Britains caution and apparent unwill-
ingness to take too strong action a.
gainst Germany.
This was partly expressed by the
authoritative Italian Journale POpolo
di Roma, which said England sex
plored the attitudes of Berlin, Mos
COW, Warsaw and Praha," and now
needed "to explore Englands at
titude."
Dispatches indicate the present un-
official desires of the three govern
ments briefly are as follows:
Italy-Action to safeguard peace
and action Strong and concrete with
or without Germany"
Great Britain-A compromise gen.
eral security plan, not aimed at any
country, and. leaving the way open
for Germany to enter it,
France-A system of pacts guaran-
teeing mutual assistance in case of an
attack on any country and a resolu-
tion condemning German re-arma-
ment.

defeated 10 to 8.
The only change made by the Sem
ate from the inheritance tax article
passed by the House deals with re-
ciprocal agreements on taxes with
other states in which North Caro-
hnians might establish trust funds.
Administrationists calimed a good
working majority in the Senate on
every levy of the 291-page BILL but
anti-sales taxes hope to either cut
the three percent retail levy to two
percent or put back in the present ex-
emptions of basic food item.

ed belief the Senate would finish the
revenue bill this week, but mere was

BIZ Times Special
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. ia
field goal by Norman Cotton with
only a few seconds to play gave
Purdue's basketball team a 35-to-34
triumph over Temple University
here last night.
Cotton was at least 80 feet from
the goal when he fired the winning
basket. Ten thousand fans who
packed Convention Hall to see the
tilt, roared their approval until
after the gun had fired.
Lead Changes Frequently
High scoring honors for Purdue,
however, went to DoWney, with 10;
Kessler, with nine, and Seward, with
eight.
Purdue piled up an early 4-to-1
edge on baskets by Cotton and
Seward, but the Owls forged into
a temporary GA lead Purdue went
back into the lead on baskets by
Downey and Kessler and Seward
sank two, but the Boilermakers
were ahead only 20 to 10 at half
time.
Kessler Helps Save Day
The lead changed frequently in
the final half and Temple finally
gained a 24-31 advantage. Kessler.

gin to a single point with field
