Legislature Might Abolish
Liquor Boards in Counties
Continued from Page One)

liquor stores and county ABC boards
in charge of the stores. The present
objection is that too much of the rev.
enue from the stores is being required
to pay the salaries Of the members of
the Abe boards and that what little
actual work is required of these
'Soard members could just as we'll be-
performed by an ex-officio board
which would serve without any sal
airy expense. 1t is maintained by those
who favor the abolition of the three
member county liquor-control boards
that a three member commission com
posed, say, of the chairman of the
board Of county commissioner, the
county auditor or accountant and the
county purchasing agent, could select
the personnel for the stores and SUI
i.ervise their management just as well
as the present ABC boards, especial
ly if all the liquor stocks should be
purchased through a central State
purchasing agency, as now seems
likely.
Huge Salaries Paid.
That the abolition of the county
ABC boards would save the counties
a good deal of money and thus leave
more revenue to go into the general
funds for general county purposes, is
readily agreed. In one of the counties
which now has liquor stores, two
members of the ABC board receive
salaries of $4,000 a year each, while
the chairman gets a salary of $4,000,
so that the total salary expense for
the board is $8,4O0 year. In addition
each member of the board has his
private office, secretarial help and
so forth, so that the total cost of the
ABC board to the county is estimat-
ed at about $4,000 year, if not more.
A resident of this county, in discuss
ing the situation, agreed that the
chairman of the board did virtually
all of the work and that what he
did could just as well be done by the
county purchasing agent or director
of finance. This is making the resi-
dents of these counties wonder why
between $4,000 and $4,000 a year of
the revenue from the county liquor
stores should be expended to provide
Jobs for three men whose services

would be beaten and that would dr.
pose OF MIN permanently. AS an ex-
ceeolngly tabyish senator, he ought to
NC reasonably modest, or polite any
way. he undoubtedly is too fresh to
make a hit with the average voter
however successful he seems to have
oeen as a Coughlinite keynoter.
But Holt has until 1911 to serve on
Capitol Hill
This gives him quite a while to i'm
prove on his tactics. He obviously
mas undertaken to be a second Huev
T. Long and as yet hasn't acquired
the hang of it. The Kingfish was pref
~ blatant but he said a great manv
things that plenty of perfectly ra-
tlonal Americans had to acquiesce in.
Holt, to date, is merely blatant.
But the fact is that the West Vir-
glnlan genuinely is very bright
young man. He behaved quite credit
ably early in his stay in Washington
Then, apparently his head swelled and
he is trying to be a statesman pre-
maturely.
Perhaps he will have recaptured his
Judgment by 1871 and be as good as
Huey. That would make him a factor
to be reckoned with for no one knows
how long.
LEMKE EXPERIENCED
Representative Lemke, though as
freakish as anyone, is an experienced
politician
He did not put all his eggs in one
basket. Besides proclaiming himself
presidentially, he saw to it that he
likewise was renominated for the
House of Representatives. Thus, even
though defeated for the White House

lieve he doesn't recognize, despite his
refusal to admit it, he still is pretty
sure to remain in Congress- sound
ingboard for lots more of his oratory
If he has any strength at all, out
side his home district, it must be
mainly farm strength.
Assuming that agriculture is fairly
we'll satisfied with its lot in the
course of the next four years, he pro-
badly will have fizzled out entirely
by 1910. Should the farmers continue
discontinued, however, or get more so,
there is chance that his potency will
Increase steadily.

well as all the empoyes of those Of
fees, will have to take the civil SER
vice examinations and make the re-
quired grades before they will be en-
ployed," Commissioner Fletcher said.
II do not know when or where the
examinations will be given, but pre-
sumo that the dates and places will be
announced in the near future
There will be no State director for
the offices in North Carolina, since
this State is one of four with the Dis
trict. Of Columbia making up region
four, with regional offices in Wash
ington, Commissioner Fletcher said
The regional director is C. r. Parker,
a former regional director of the
MIRA. The states in region four, I'M
der Director Parker, are North Car
DINA, Virginia, West Virginia, Mary
All of the district offices are admin
istered direct from the regional head
quarters in Washington without any
State directors.
Despite the fact that both Charlotte
and Asheville are trying to get the
office now slated for Salisbury, the
belief in most circles here is that the
office will be located in Salisbury, as
originally planned, due to the fact that
it is more nearly in the center of the
industrial area than either Charlotte
or Asheville.
Present indications are that the
Raleigh office will have about 10 or
IL employees and the other office be-
tween 25 and 80 employees. Their duty
will be to obtain and check the lists
of all employees in the state and their
salaries, prior to the becoming effec-
tive of the old age benefits insurance

are really not needed, when this
money could be used to advantage in
other places.
Danger of Politics.
Still another objection to the county
liquor boards is that there is danger
they may become more and more
deeply involved in county politics and
eventually 'cecome the strongest poll
teal Influence in the counties. It is
not beyond the stretch Of the imagin-
alton to visualize a condition under
which the county ABC boards might
become so powerful that they not on
ly could perpetuate themselves from
year to year, but that all of the other
county officials would have to seek
their support to be elected, which
would mean that the county Abe
board members would be virtual die
tators in county politics. This situa-
ton has not developed in any of the
counties so far, due to, the fact that
the counties have been careful to Sc
lect only he highest type. of men for
their ABC board members, knowing
that whether they would be able to
keep their liquor stores depended very
ioA SCAy uPOH IHe manner IN which
they were administered. But political
history shows that in the past there
have been alliances between the IL
quor interests and the politicians.
The ABC board members and their
friends can be depended upon to put
up stiff fight to retain the present
system, it is agreed. But if a majority
OF the people in the counties become
convinced that the ABC boards are
an unnecessary luxury and expense,
the General Assembly which created
them in 1885 may decide to eliminate
them in 1887.

Asheville, Aug. 22-(AP)- Evidence
was completed today in the trial of
Martin Moore, Negro hallboy, for the
Staying of Helen Clevenger in her
Battery Park hotel room early the
morning of July 16. A defense motion
for non-suit was denied, and Judge
Don Phillips ordered arguments by
counsel to start Immediately.
Rebuttal testimony ended shortly
after James Pinkins Negro, scrubman
at the hotel testified that the 22-year-
old defendant sought to evade his
work on Miss Clevenger's floor the
morning after the crime.
Pinl1ins also cont addicted Moore's
statements Oh the stand yesterday
THAT l;c did vt know of the girls
death until z p M July 16.
Pinkins said Moore, who repudiated
a confession with the claim it was
wrung from him by ;ceatings after his
arrest, told him he had work to do
on the second floor, but was not going
there.
Fat Branch, hotel manager, ques-
toned about Moore's recent re-enact-
ment of the crime at which the Ne
gro teSt!tlt he did what he was told
because he was scared by officers,
testified he saw no force exerted on
the Negro.
TIE State rested at 1915 a. M, the
non-suii motion was perfunctory, and
Sanford Brown began speaking for
the defense after Judge Phillips also
denied motion to strike from the
record all references to Moore's re-
pudiated confession.
"You have not shown" Brown ar
gued, Gin whose hands the gun was
when the deceased was slain. If you
disregard the confession the State
contends was voluntarily given, you
have only circumstantial evidence a.

Brown spoke % minutes and was
followed by Thomas A. Jones, Jr., also
for the defense.
