New York, with more than ono tenth of the country's population, recorded a small decline. On the Pacific coast, California registered a small decline; fin Oregon the rates for two years were identical. No figures were available for Washington.
 The fragmentary data now at hand are not sufficient to shaw what specific causes of death were involved in raising the death rate in the states where the more out standing increases occurred. Pre- liminary reports from North Caro- lima, Georgia, Florida, Illinois. In- diana, Ohio, Virginia, and Ken lucky, where last years raises ranged from 4.6 to 14.0 per cent, tell practically the same story. In these states deaths from pneumo- mia, measles, whooping cough, car- diac diseases and automobile acci- dents greatly exceeded the 1883 figures. Considerable raises were alos shown in deaths from cancer and cerebral hemorrhage, wher- ever such data were available. The death rates for all these causes, except cerebral hemorrhage, also increased last year among the Metropolitan policyholdres; but except for measles and whooping cough there were no appreciable rise among the insured.
 Policyholders Urban Group
 Commenting on the different ex- periences of the population at large and the insurance company's indus trial policyholders, the statistic ians point out that these policy holders are substantially as urban group, while the general popula- ton is approximately one half ru- ral. When separate urban and ru- ral mortality statistics become available for 1884, it may be shown that the mortality increase was confined to the rural population. However, the bureau of census es- inmates show an increase in the death rate in s6 large cities from 11.0 per 1000 in 1888 to 11.4 in 1894, making a rise of 3.6 per cent.
 The insurance company's figures do not include infants under one year of age nor adults over "A years. Early reports from five large states point to an increase in infant mortality last year.
 As a further explanation of the difference, the statisticians com ment: Throughout the years of the depression. the organization of relief work has unquestionably ameliorated the effects of unenf- ployment on the health of the peo- pie. The whole country has bene- fitted. It is possible, however, that during 1884 relief organizations and health agencies concentrated their efforts on the families of the urban unemployed. If so. living standards of the wage-earning populations of our cities may have been raised last year to a greater extent than obtained in the rural districts and small communities. and this would be reflected in the industrial death rate.
 "The Metropolitan industrial poiicyholders also benefit greatly from the welfare services supplied by the company. Tn 1Dst, e total of four million visits were made by the visiting nurse service. It may well bo that the better health record of the insured wago.earn- ere Co aess was due largely Co the efficiency of the nurninsn earo they received, supplemented by the com. pany's educational campaign on personal hrniens."

WAR IS DRAWING

Scheveningen, Netherlands, July 9-(UP)-War between Italy and Abyssinia appeared nearer today when joint commission named to discuss frontier clashes adjourned in complete deadlock.
 The adjournment. was indefinite and agreement even on this one phase of the Italian Abyssinian dispute seemed hopeless. But two hopes remained--the fiickering one that the League of Nations might take effective action and the possi- bility that Great Britain yet might find means of dissauding Premier Benito Mussolini from declaring war.

POWER RATES

To be the privately owned corporation
power companies of these United States could
materially reduce current rates-make them equal
to the much boosted low rates of Ontario Can
ada, IF-the companies in this country were ex-
empted from all taxes as in Ontario; if the secur-
ties of the power companies were guaranteed,
principal and interest, by the government as IN
Ontario; if the government would pay so per cent
of the cost of erecting lines, rural and other
wise, as in Ontario, and the taxpayers would kick
in whenever the power companies went little
more money for this, that and the other improve
ment, enlargement and repairs. Fact of the mat
ter is, if the government would do all these things
for the privately owned power companies, they
would no doubt put rates for current below even
what is being promised by the IVA. And remem-

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
THE PRESIDENTS BUDGET

President Roosevets budget for the current year
seems to be bound to become more controversial
than almost anything he has proposed in his two
years of incumbency.
The President however, has probably taken the
onlv course open to him. by providing for large
program of public works istead of direct relief,
with the idea of taperng off even this form OF
relief as rapidly as industry is able to absorb our
unemployment.
How long this will take is the problem.
If it takes too long, the Presidents program is
sunk.
1t is a situation in which one mans guess is as
good as another's
And just now Franklin D. Roosevelt is the man
who is giving the word. Anyway, nobody has a
better plan to offer.
If the President can control congress, and we
don't go into any wild initiation, we will probably
come out all right.
The fact of the matter is that business is bet
ter, and if confidence continues to grow we would
come through and out of the depression into a
normal condition even if we didn't have this ire
mendous spending.
While the large expenditure of the peoples
money is certainly something to be deprecated I'M
less we are going to get the worth of it, are
not greatly worried about the present extraordi-
nary spending, if not extended for too long
time.
The United States is a tremendously wealthy
country, even beyond our widest dreams, and we
could lift ourselves out of debt at almost any
time really set about the task,-ROck HILL s.

much said about The tags. | lust
want to say if we all would quit
knocking at the other fellow, ana
90 q little ourselves we would get
more out of life.
We sent our man from THIS
county to Raleigh to co what we
want done, now we should tell
him we are with him and we are
going to stand by him and he Will
feel more Ike doing his BEST and
if each county in the state would
draft q bill asking that the tag be
cut to So, we would get it done.
But there are so many Of us that
like to knock rather than to push.
If we would get behind our man
and tell him what We want, and
chat we are going to back him,
we could get something done and
.hcv could ali finish their work
and go home in 80 days. But We
send them down 10 Raleigh and
knock and curse all the time, so
thcg don't know what we want.
SO let every one that wants a
I$5 tag write his legislator and
tell him what he wants and let
him know you are a friend of his
and tell him you are going to
back him.
1t doesn't matter what county
you live in. YOU try this plan and
we will Get the five dollar tag.
I believe We have . bunch Of
men down at Raleigh this time
that will give Us new deal in
North Carolina if we will push
while the oall is rolling. Don't
wait until they get stuck then
curse thCn because they didn't
drive and Go eli OF the pushing.
Yes, get oftcr the men to help
