Raleigh, June 23.-The political
music is going round and round here
as the result of the charges made by
DR.. Ralph w. Mcdonald against the
State Banking Commission to the eff
feet that it had shown favoritism to
certain persons. The music has not
come out anywhere yet, but indica-
tons are that there are going to be
some reverberations that will be heard
over the entire State when it does
come out. The statement was regard
ed as being so libelous and dangerous
by two well-known news services that
they refused to handle the statement
over their wires as news. But it was
printed by two newspapers in the
State.
The report now going the rounds is
that one or both of these newspapers
may be hailed into court to su5mit
proof of the statements made by DR..
Mcdonald which do not seem to have
been altogether accurate.
Commissioner of Banks Quincy p.
Hood declined to make any further
statement today with regard to DR..
McDonald's charges that it had
shown "scandalous favoritism" in the
liquidation of bank in ASheVille and
permitted a creditor to settle for a
fractional part of the Indebtedness.
But Hood did say that in his opinion

$16,6OO,OOO PAID
1851 TEACHERS
More Than Anticipated,
Necessitated by Increase
in Teachers
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In The Sir Walter Hotel.


Raleigh, June ga total of $16,-
100000 was paid out to 1851 school
teachers and principals during this
past school year in salaries, Lloyd E.
Griffin, executive secretary of the
State School Commission, announced
today. This is some $41,OOO more than
the school commission had estimated
would be expended for teachers sal
aries and was made necessary by the
employment of SO more teachers than
the commission had allowed for.
There were 259 more teachers en-
ployed this year than last year, when
the total amounted to 1892
The total of $16,60O,OOO paid out to
teachers and principals this past year
does not include the salaries paid to
superintendent janitors, school bus
drivers or mechanics, Griffin pointed
out. The salaries paid to superinten-
dents amount to approximately $780,
900, to janitors about $3.50, 1000, to bus
drivers $280,000 and the school bus
mechanics $4,000. When this is ad-
ded to the amount paid the teachers
and principals, the total expenditure
for salaries alone is SIT 100000.
The cost of transporting some 2OO,-
600 children a day to and from school
in more than 1000 school buses a.
mounted to $1,896,OOO this past year,
or fully 100000 more than had been
estimated. This was because of the
very sever winter in all sections of
the State which added greatly to the
cost of operating the school trans
portation system. The cost of operar-
ing and heating the school buildings
over the State was also $4,000 more
than had been estimated, while the
commission also spent $4,000 more
for school buses than had been bud
geted for that purposes. SO altogether,

The tax act, compromise between
the House and Senate, goes a long
way toward carrying out suggestions
by President Roosevelt for stiff levies
on corporation income withheld from
stockholders. Advocates of his sugges-
ton contend it will force corporation
income into the hands of stockhold-
ers, where it will be subject to in
dividual income taxes, while oppon-
ents argue it will be harmful to cor

HOOVER ASSA|LS
NEW TAX MEASURE
Says Corporation Levy Is
"Device for Robbing
YOUTH"
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
OGDEN, Utah, May 9.-Former
President Herbert Hoover, in a be-
tween trains interview early today, de-
scribed the corporation tax bill now
before Congress ss "the most potent
device for robbing the youth of the
Nation ever heard Of"
THE tax on the undistributed cor
poration profits" he declared, IF made
law in its present form would heavily
penalize growth of new industry under
guise of another effort to get the tax
evaders."
Nearly all smaller businesses, he
said. are built up by people throwing
back into the business early profits.
For this reason, he said. there is
danger in the new measure because 1t
tends to favor established, larger cor
porations.
IF profits are not paid out of the
business, they would be subject to
nearly 43 per cent tax, which would
almost extinguish chances for new in
dustries to grow" he said.
IF the tax measures merely were
an attempt to collect from those Or
ganizations in the higher brackets who
have evaded taxes, more effective
scheme to keep capital in the same
control as at present could not be
devised"
Hoover is en- route to Philadelphia
to address Pennsylvania Republican
women Thursday night.
