Road Refund To Coun-
ties To Be Small
(COntinued from Pare Ona)

L. Bailey OF Plymouth, Washington
county, said this morning. He esti-
mated that the hearing today would
last through the afternoon and said
that probably several other hearings
would be held soon. It had not been
decided whether to hold all these
hearings here or whether the COM
mission would hold them in different
sections Of the State. This will prob
ably be decided at the meeting today,
Bailey indicated.
OF the claims now before the debt
adjustment commission, some 81 coun-
ties are seeking refunds amounting
to $l,OOO,OOO or more. If all of these
claims should be allowed, the States
Indebtedness for highways would be
increased to approximately $4,000
600. Mecklenburg county is asking for
a refund of IS 106,9 while Buncombe
county is asking for a refund of So
O28,441.
The counties making these claims
maintain that these amounts repreS-
enet the gifts of money they made to
the highway commission between
1921 and 1881 for the construction of
roads or the value of roads built at
county expense and taken over by the
state in 1881. Although they have
been relieved of the cost of main
tanning all these roads as we'll as all
other county roads since 1931-the
cost of county road maintenance
alone was more than 100000 a year
prior to that time-they still think
the state should paw them this much
additional.

quor law violations and other of
lenses, and the actual facts related
by Director James M. Doran of the
Distilled Spirits institute in Washing
ton, most of those who appeared be-
fore the commission here Thursday
expressed opinions instead of pre-
senting facts. Gale K. Burgess, repre-
senting the United Dry Forces of the
State, expressed opposition to the
legal sale of liquor, wines or beer and
advanced the usual stock arguments
of the prohibitionists but offered
very few facts. Most of the other
speakers with anti-liquor leanings
seemed to have difficulty in realiz-
ing that the hearing was fact-find-
ing meeting and not an open forum
for the airing of views against the
sale of liquor
Members of the commission are
hoping that the hearing today in Will
son and in Wilmington tomorrow will
develop more facts and contribute
some real information, especially as
to conditions in the present 18 coun-
ties where liquor is now sold legally
as compared with conditions in these
counties when they were supposed to
be dry" and under the Statewide
prohibition law. The commission
wants to get all of the information
along these lines it can. But there
are indications that the rearings both
in Wilson today and in Wilmington
tomorrow may result in little more
than a public debate on county con-
troll versus state control, with most
of the speakers presenting arguments
in favor of county control. The COM
mission wants to learn all it can
about how the county stores are OPP
Grating, the amount of bootlegging
now as compared with the era before
liquor stores were established, and SO
forth, it was indicated. But it is not
interested in hearing protracted de-
bate with it's main them the advan-
tages of the county control system
over a State or any other system, sew

in these II counties was less. on a
percentage basis, than in the other
counties. No comparisons of the fig
ures were made by Mr.. Bruton and
no conclusions drawn. He merely sub
mitted the figures from all the coun-
ties and left the commission to draw
its own conclusions.
During the five years from 100 to
1885, 21.8 per cent of all the convic-
tons in the superior courts and 43.3
per cent of all the convictions in the
recorders courts in the 83 counties
which are still nominally dry" were
for violation of the State prohibition
laws, the figures presented by Mr.
Bruton show. During this same pc
Rod, IN the II counties which were
then supposedly dry but which are
now legally wet, 1891 per cent of the
superior court conviction were for
violation of the. prohibition laws and
$40 per cent of the recorders court
convictions were for the same offenses
For the year 1886. according to
the records, 20.4 per cent of the SUI
perior court convictions in the 83
dry" counties were for violation of
the prohibition laws and 43.5 per cent
of the convictions in the recorders
courts were for the same offenses.
In the II legally wet counties,
however, for this same year of 1885
only 176 per cent of the superior
court convictions were for violation
of the liquor laws and 1871 per cent
Of the recorders courts convictions
were for liquor law violations.
> Mr.. Bruton pointed out that a good
many of the convictions in the II wet
counties undoubtedly were for Of

a total of more than 200 votes to start
with at Cleveland, and his manager,

ernor of a typical prairie state" and
that his election, If he won, would be
a ''perilous experiment" Farley criti-

Italy Celebrates Entry
Into World War


ITALIANS celebrated the anniversary
1 of their country's entrance into the
World war with imposing ceremonies
that included the promotion Of more
than half million boys and girls in
the organizations of young Fascists.
Premier Mussolini presided over the
graduation" and after reviewing
great military parade, the Duce told
the shouting crowds:
1.-THE spectacle of the force of youth
exhibited this morning on the anniver-
sary of our intervention in the World
war, the first phase of the Fascist rev.
olution, has been magnificent and a
warning at the same time. We are
preparing the young armies Of tomor-
row for defense of the empire. Since
they are animated by the Fascist spirit
they will be invincible This Is the
law of the revolution. This is the su-
preme will of the whole italian people"
While his conqueror was thus en-
gagged, Halle Selassie, deposed en-
peror of Ethiopia, was embarking at
Haifa, Palestine, for England, on the
British destroyer Capetown.

Congress Hopes It Can
Adjourn Tune 6

1A0JOGA ~ j SaAAN
EMOCRATIC and Republican lead
- ers in congress sought unitedly to
get through the necessary business so
that the law makers might adjourn on
June 6. The house had finished its
work and was waiting for the senate
to act on the relief and tax measures
The committees had so revised those
bills that 1t was thought opposition
would be greatly lessened.
Senator Harrison's finance committee
contrived tax bill estimated to pro-
duce $6260O0,OOO in new permanent
revenue, which is $6,OOO,OOO more than
the President asked for. Tentatively
the committee agreed to levy process
ing tax of one-half cent per pound on
sugar, which would yield $66,000,0O0
and to retain provision of the house
bill designed to induce liquidation of
corporations and bring in $33,O00,O00
in additional income taxes. There was
a prospect of adding still another $40,-
100000 to the permanent revenue by
removing the existing $4,000 estate
tax exemption on estates of 100000 or
more.
This would make total o. $685.
100000, in new permanent revenue,
S46,OO0,OO0 more than that of the
house bill, but the senate bill also
included $1O0,OO0,OOO in temporary rev.
enue from the so-called 'windfalP' pro-
vision to confscate unpaid and re-
funded processing taxes, and retained
the $168000,0O0 now produced by the
excess profits and capital stock taxes

Eastman announced last February he
would exercise his powers to compel
railroads in IL cities to carry out ter
minal indications as economy and eff
cheney moves. He withheld the orders
at the suggestion of President Roose-
welt, however, to permit rail manage
ment and labor to agree on some plan
of protection for employees thrown out
of work in such consultations.

occasion of the traditional memorial
ceremony in Pere Lachaise cemetery
for the Marxist martyrs of the Paris

ly his publicity in the United States

The johnson law is naturally an In
surmountable obstacle to Frances OBJ

but as the Paris Midi pointed out
Blum went out of his way to declare
that France has not forgotten the war
debt and fully expects to bring 1t up
for discussion some time in the future.

Municipal Bankruptcy
Act Held Invalid

LIVE justices Of the United States
L Supreme court held invalid the mu-
nicipal bankruptcy act of 1884, declar-
ing 1t to be an unwarranted invasion
of state sovereignty. Four justices dis
scented, these being Chief Justice
Hughes and Justices Stone, Brandeis
and Cardozo. The majority opinion
was written by Justice James c. Nc
Reynolds. The case was brought by
bondholders of a water Improvement
district in Texas.
The municipal bankruptcy act was
designed to permit cities and other po-
litical subdivisions which found them
selves in financial straits to effect a
composition, with the approval of two
thirds Of the bondholders or other
creditors, whereby the Indebtedness
could be readjusted, scaled down, or, as
Mr.. Justice McReynolds put it, IRE

We Do From Motive

Human nature is naturally lazy.
We do everything from motive, and
the strength of the motive measures
the result of the effort.
You sometimes have to Judge
man by what people don't say about
him.
Some read epigrams and enjoy
them: others are so contentious that
they want to dispute every one they
read.
In our own personal affairs, each
of us thinks he is something of an
efficiency expert himself.
Do AS You Advise
Children will profit by what their
parents tell them If they observe that
what their parents tell them CORE
spends to what their parents do.
When people are deadly deter
mined to call spade a spade with
great frequency, we wish they'd

Hardly anything can make sink
the heart of a young man of twenty
like being expected to enjoy job
for which he has neither taste nor
talent.
