DR.. Townsend To
Speak In Ashevine
Saturday z P. M.

w. Bruce Fisher, the State
manager for the Townsend Move
ment, announces that he has
made arrangements for DR.. Fran
els E. Townsend to address the
people of Western North Carolina
in the County Court House at
Asheville Saturday, December
7th, at 2 p. m.
Mr.. Fisher says he will explain
the Townsend Pension Bill and
set forth his ideas as to how the
pension can be paid with the
Government obligating for itself
a single dollar. The bill proposes
to pay all persons, over sixty
years of age, maximum OF
$4,000 per month, to all VINO
wish to apply, upon condition that
they give up their jobs and spend
the money each thirty days. II Is
proposed to raise this money with
a two per cent transaction tax
and agree to first collect the
money each month, and put 1t
into the Treasury of the United
States, before it is paid out to the
pensioners; also it is agreed by
the proponents of the bill to &C
cept whatever the tax produces
if no more than $50; with a max
imum of 5000, when the time
comes that the tax produces
enough to pay that amount.

Warn Chinese DemiIitariz-

TIENTSIN, Dec. 5.-(UP)-
War between China and Japan is
possible if China violates the Ho
Umezu agreement, Majgen Hayao
Tada, commander of Japanese
troops in North China said in an
interview with the United Press
today. If the agreement is brok-
en-, Tada said, Japan would i'm
mediately send unlimited troops
into North China. The treaty,
signed last spring, left the Japa-
nese in a dominant position in
former Jehol Province, now vir-
tually annexed to Manchukuo. 1t
provided a demilitarized zone be-
tween Manchukuo and North
China and bound the Chinese not
to send troops into the large area
of Northern China.

PARIS, Dec. 5.-(UP)-An
lo-French plan to end the
Italo- Ethiopian war has been COM
pleted and submitted to Italy, it
was understood today.

and Rene Doynel Saint-Quentin,
British and French foreign office
experts on Africa, respectively,
were said to haxe finished sketch

It is believed Premier Pierre
Laval communicated the plan to
Italian Ambassador Vittorio Ger

night.
The plan provides:
1. Cession by Italy to Ethio-
pia of the Port of Assab, Eritrea,
and a wide corridor in which
Ethiopia could build a railroad
for which funds would be-, pro-
vided by the League of Nations.
|. 2. Modification of the Fri
trea frontier, giving Italy part Of
Tigre Province in the north but
leaving the holy city Of Aksum
and probably Aduwa to Ethiopia
8. Drawing Of the Italian
Somaliland frontier to give Italy
Ogaden Province south Of eight
degrees north latitude. The west
ern limit suggested by the British
is 40 degrees east longitude, but
the French suggested 80 degrees
east longitude.
(The British suggestion would
increase Italian holdings in East
Africa by about three-fourths
against as much territory as ltal-
ian Somaliland now occupied. The
Northern Somalinand border
would be approximately 100 miles
from Adds Ababa.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-(UP)
The first practical move toward
establishment of a commercial
round-the-world air service was
expected to result from the in
ternational conference beginning
here today on the subject of
transatlantic air mail. Attending
the meeting with administration
officials were representatives Of
Great Britain, Ireland, Canada

cent establishment of the trans
Pacific service.
Tentative progress toward a
closer link between the two great
English speaking nations by
means of reciprocal trade agree
ment and a transatlantic air line
were revealed yesterday.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
told yesterday of the possibility
of a trade agreement with Great
Britain and said that while no
formal discussions had taken
place there had been a casual
exchange of ideas from time to
time.
simultaneously the delegation
representing Canada, Ireland and
Great Britain arrived in Wash
ington to take part in negotiating
for establishment of an air mail
line to Europe, and Postmaster
General James A. Farley said his
department would seek the neces-
sary funds from the next session
of Congress at the proper time.

They urged passage of legisla-

COUNTY WILL
PAY SHARE OF
SECURITY TAX
To Total Several Thousand
Dollars, Exact Amount
Not Yet Known
HOW LEVY WORKS IS
BRIEFLY OUTLINED


1886, Henderson county business
men will pay several thousand dol
lars to the federal government
through the medium Of the social
security tax, which becomes effec-
tive on January /, 1886.
It is difficult to estimate the ex-
act sum in dollars which will be
paid out for this tax for the rea-
SON that there are no figures avail
able on payrolls for the year, and
for the reason that it is believed
that a large majority of Hender-
sonville businesses will be exempt
from the tax. =.
| During 1896 all business men
who employed eight or more per-
| sons for as many as one day dur
ing 20 weeks of the year 1885
will have to pay tax of one per
cent on their payrolls. ~. &c..
A casual survey will show that
a majority of the business firms
of the town and county did not
employ eight or more persons dur
ing the year 1885. The minimum
of eight people employed includes
all persons receiving salaries from
the firm, including proprietors or
partners. al.s g..
On the basis of the county's in
dustrial payroll, estimated at ap-
proximately $4,000 per week,
during 1886, the first year of the
tax, this county will contribute
the sum of $1,000 toward social
security. This sum will probably
be even greater as this estimate is
based entirely upon payroll figures
and estimates of about eight or
ten. local firms.
The law provides that during
1886 the employer shall pay tax
of one per cent on his payroll,
with the above restrictions. Dur
ing the year 1887 the employer
will contribute two per cent and
the employee one per cent. In
1888 the employer will contribute
three per cent and the employee
two per cent, and in 1889 both
employer and employee will con-
tribute three per cent, making a
total of six per cent.
By 1899, on the basis of the
above mentioned payroll of these
few firms, Henderson county will
be contributing the sum of S46,-
800 per year for social security.
This figure will probably be much
larger and is based only upon pay
rolls which may be had at casual
survey of the city. ...
These figures deal only with So
cial security. They do not deal
with old age pensions, which do
not become effective until the year
1887, but, upon becoming effective
will operate in much the same
manner and at about the same
cost to business man and en-
ployee.
This sum for social security will
be paid to the federal government
in states where there are not SIM
liar acts. At the present time
about eight states have such laws,
one state has an unapproved law,
nine are working out such laws
and the remainder have no such
legislation pending.
The federal act provides that
where there are state laws the tax
payer may credit 80 per cent of
the federal tax toward the state
tax. Most states have modelled
their laws after the federal gov
eminent law, providing. at the
maximum taxes Of three per cent
on employees and employers. In
these cases those paying the tax
may credit 80 per cent Of this
state tax on the federal tax: Thus
