against liberalism and the leaders
who had restrained Japan'S
martial expansionist activities in
China.
The compromise agreement was
effected by three loyal army Of
ficers delegated by Emperor
Hirohito to negotiate with the
rebels.
Under its terms the rebel were
believed to have won more power
for the military faction, and per-
hap to have partially nullified the
reults of last weeks elections. in
which the liberal constitutionaliSts
scored wide gains.
The rebels surrendered, it was
reported, under threat of employ
ment of force against them, but
so strong were their positions
they held many important govern
ment buildings-that they were
able to attain some Of their ends
through the amicable settlement.
AS a matter of fact, the young
army zealots had won in the open
ing hours of the revolt their main
objectives-assasSination Of Pre-
mier Keisuke Okada and four Of
his cabinet aides, thereby eraSing
from Japar.'s public life men
whom they believed were influen-

program on the Asiatic mainland.
Capital is Reassured
Tokyo m ilitary headquarters
broadcast by radio a message to
the populace at $50 p. m. enjoin-
ing all citizens to disregard disturb
ing rumors and "rest assured that
peace and quietness in the capital
is being efficiently maintained"
Meanwhile, Prince Chicnibu, a
member of the royal family, ar
rived in Tokyo from Hiroshima for
consultation on the crisis with En-
peror Hirohito. It was also learned
that Prince Saionji, last of the
elder statesmen and the Emperor's
closest advisor, was being spirited
into Tokyo.
Whereabouts of Count Maxine,
former lord keeper of the privy
seal, who was injured yesterday
when his villa outside Tokyo was
attacked, was unknown.
Announcement of the death Of
Finance Minister Korekiyo Taxa
hashi, mortally wounded yeSter-
day by a group of rebels, was fol-
lowed by the arrival of a hearse at
his residence.
The way is now open for forma-
ton of a permanent cabinet, with
either Fumio Goto, minister Of the
interior in the last government, or
Mineo Osumi. naval minister, as
premier.

JAPAN REVOLT
SEEN SPARKT0
WORLD WAR
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
international News Service

The revolver shots with which
young japanese army officers
wiped out the moderate" leaders
Of Japan's government may shake
the entire world before their echo
has faded away in the field Of
international affairs.
Such was the belief held in
authoritative quarters here today
as officials sought to foresee he
ramifications of the gangster
methods used by Japan's mill
tary extremists to exterminate
those who would seek to check
them.
The international aspects Of the
motives which led the army Off
GERS to purge" with bullets the
moderate element of the Japanese
government were seen Of great i'm
portance to the future peace not
only of the Orient but Of Europe
and of the world generally.
If the radical militaristic ele-
ment succeeds in gaining the up
per hand as the result of the
wholesale assassination of the
moderate statesmen, it is feared
Japan's armed legions will assume
a more aggressive attitude both
toward China and Soviet Russia.
The danger of a RusSo-Japan-
ese war development was seen
particularly great since the pug
naciousness Of the radical ele-
ment in the Japanese army is
viewed as likely to cause them to
start fighting the Soviets literally
at the drop of a hat.
In fact, the very statesmen as
Sassinated were regarded as hav-
ing been chiefly responsible for
avoiding the outbreak of such q
war during the last three years.
This radical element in the
army is known to maintain the
view that Soviet Russia must be
soundly trounced before Japan
can successfully extend and con.
solidate it's control over China.
This view is prompted by the
belief that the SovietS are lend.
ing assistance to the Chinese Red
armies and otherwise inspiring
resistance to Japanese expansion
in Asia.

ON TAXATION
BY GEORGE DURNO
International News Service


A round.table discussion Of q
substitute tax program to finance
the new farm bill will take place
at the White House tonight among
President Roosevelt, Treasury Of
ficials and Congressional leaders,
but it was stated the Executive is
not yet prepared to present any
specific proposal.
The President authorized the
announcement that general dis
cussion of the tax problem was
contemplated and made public the
list of those invited. 1t was en-
phasized, however, that Mr.. Roose'
velt would not present a definite
program tonight.
Those who will sit in at the
oval room conference are Vice
President Garner. Speaker Byrns,
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
eenthau, Senator Barkley, Of Ken
lucky, as acting Senate floor
leader; Senator Harrison. of Mis-
sissippi, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee; Representa-
tive Bankhead, of Alabama, ma
jority leader of the House; Repre-
sentative Doughton, of North Car
olina, chairman of the House
Ways and Means Committee: Gen
eral Treasury Counsel Herman
Oliphant and George c. Haas,
Treasury tax expert.
Ever since the Supreme Court
inyalidated the AAA system of
crop production control through
benefit payments raised from
processing taxes, the President
and his financial advisers nave
been working on a substitute
schedule of levies. up to today,
congressional leaders have mot
been called in at any Of the White
House sessions.
The President has indicated he
will need 100000 in taxes
to substitute for the outlawed
processing taxes. The big ques'
ton mark on Capitol Hill has
been Just what type Of taxes he
has in mind-this being a cam
paign year.
Usually reliable sources report
that Mr.. Roosevelt and Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau are
contemplating proposing about
$3.50, 100000 in agricultural ex-
cises and a like sum in manu-
facturers' excises on a limited
group of commodities. So far,
the Administration high com
mand has held its own counsel
on the subject.
The writing of a farm tax bill
will have to be done very deftly,
as the Administration is up
against the problem Of staying
within the Supreme Court ruling,
but at the same time continuing
crop production control.

Jams are reported between
Chain Bridge and Key Bridge.
"At Washington, the channel
is open, but there is some float
ing ice below Key Bridge, and
an ice sheet on the Virginia
side"
A special watch on the river
was maintained throughout the
day. Although no general flood
is anticipated at any point below
Harper's Ferry, several low areas
are threatened.
Sycamore Island, one Of the
threatened points mentioned in
the Weather Bureaus bulletin. is
about three miles above Chain
Bridge.
Giant ice floes, some Of them
more than :. hundred feet across
and several feet thick, crumbled
when they struck the piers Of
the Highway Bridge.
Ice on the Move
Rivermen had been expecting
the break for "a hours but were
hardly prepared for the sudden
fury of the waters race which be-
gan shortly after 8 o'clock.
I. H. McMichael, attached to
the Army Engineers warehouse
under Key Bridge, witnessed the
dramatic spectacle from his river
watchtower, and reported prompt
" to his Superiors. He said:
"She went with a crash like
thunder! The ice jammed for
a minute or so. but as the pres
sure increased, the great blocks
crumpled and began to move
under the bridge"
A threatening ice jam developed
for a time under Lincoln Me-
mortal Bridge, but after piling up
against the pier guards for two
hours the huge ton-weight cakes
were swept along by the power Of
the racing stream.
Has Light Cargo
Navigation lights under the
bridge were removed. and the
great siren carried by attendants
to a point of safety. The jam
under Memorial Bridge held the
main channel for a time, backing
water for more than an hour.

these State Machines belong to the
money power and of course are mani
pulated in the interest of the rich.
They don't care a rap which name the
machine bears just so it is Democrat
or Republican. The plutocrats are
much pleased to know that there are
in North Carolina plenty people who
have voted the Democratic ticket all
their lives. They are also tickled pink
10 Know that a majority in Pennsyl-
vanla always vote the Republican
ticket. l thank God that many who
cast such foolish votes at every cleo
ton are growing old.
NOW will someone please tell us,
what sense there is in farmers and
workers continually voting to keep a
machine in complete control of their
State that is run entirely in the in
terest of the few rich people, and to
the hurt of the great producing class?
1t seems to me the thing the 214,-
600 of us who voted for Mcdonald
had best do, is to vote for Gillian
GriSsom for Governor next November.
That is the only blow we can possibly
hit the Democratic State Machine this
year. There is no chance for us, the
people, to get any benefit out of the
next administration Of our State af
fairs. The State is certainly going to
he run for the next four years, as
formerly, for the advantage of big
money. That is the power that named
Mr.. Hoey and bet your life it is going
to get big pay for what the primaries
cost. That cost will ultimately be
born by the workers. The next ma
chine Legislature which is strong for
Hoey will see to that.
If those who voted for Mr.. McDon-
aid in the Primaries will vote in No
vember for Gillian Grissom, they will
thereby do more towards hindering
the State Machine in further enslav-
ing lis than any thing that can be
done in our present predicament BY
electing Mr. GrisSom we will wake
UP, in the next four years, enough
who should have voted in the late
primaries for Mr.. Mcdonald, to give
the State back to the people, Then
four years from now the farmers and
workers can elect a Governor and
Legislature that will care for the in
terest of all the people, and not just
a favored few as has been done for
seventy-five years.
Paradoxical as it may seem; a vote
for Gillian Grissom, a Republican,
next November, is a vote to free our
State from the damable machine rule
that has cursed it every year since
the civil war. Then when this is done
we should drop the Republican party
as we would a red hot brick or a rat
tie snake, and under the grand lead
ership of a Mcdonald give the farm
ers and workers something more than
corn bread, fatback, and hard work.

Always Rings Once:
Dear Mr.. Aswell:
II am Is years old and 1 have never
been to New York. I read a piece
about some girl getting prize for her
essay on New York when she had
never been there. So I am going to
write about your city
New York is located East of the
Hudson River and West of the At
lantic Ocean. 1t is full of skyscrapers
and these are so close together IN
Wall Street and other small alleys
that the Money Barons lean out of
windows many floors above the street
and shake hands across the street,
exchanging tips on tomorrow's mar
ket as they do so.
There used to be lot of gangsters
in New York. Now the G-Men have
shot all of these, or most of them,
and the remaining ones have had to
go on Relief. Now the govt is won
dering what to do about so many G.
Men and is beginning to investigate

stories high, with buffers and guards
all around on account of kidnapping.
"rhe night clubs are wicked places
and only the worst people go to them.
Of course columnist go there on bust
ness, so no wonder. Lawrence Tibbett
is the handsomest man in New York
and also the most generous and the
most intelligent. He makes 100000
per year at the very least. Next to him
is Clark Gable, except that he does
not sing and does not live in New
York.
"The poor people live in buildings
known as slums and most of them are
foreigners who do not speak English
with long boards. Chinatown is full
of Chinese who sell chop suey and
fight in the streets with terrible
Chinese weapons known as "tongs."
Lawrence Tibbett is the most popular
man in New York
"All the society people go to the
metropolitan Opera every night and if
they are rich enough they sit in the
diamond tiara, which are sort of
boxes near the stage so they can hear
all the singing. The balconies are so
high the stage can only be seen with
strong opera glasses but the balconies
are very cheap, sometimes as little
as so cents each, and they are full Of
Italians with great black mustaches
who love music more than life itself
and stand in line all day to spend
their weeks wages for seats. This
is extremely noble.
Cali the movies in New York are
out!of-date because they only get
there after they have been shown
everywhere else. New Workers do not
know this. All of New York is tun-
neled under by subways. In the sub
ways are all sorts of beautiful shops,
parks, BARRIERS and holdup men. The
holdup men are dangerous and usually
take their victims to little-known part
of the subway and kill them. These
men never get more than 10 cents for
their crime.

ANSWERS

1. The Charter of the college at that
time, 1854, limited it's holdings to
100000. Only enough of the Cham
bers gift to bring the college holdings
to the 100000 mark was allowed. The
excess reverted to the next of kin.
2. One claim was advanced that the
annual sessions were needed to keep
the National government in check and
to protect our State rights. Another
was that we had no public schools,
and for this reason the annual ses-
siOns were needed as a clearing house
for public information.
3. Governor George burlington, in
his report to London in 1873, said ga
Preacher is seldom pay'd more than
the value of twenty Pounds sterling
year by his Parishioners." This was
less than 500 per year, payment be-
ing made in farm products of some
kind.
4. In addition to the usual require
ments of candidates of recognized
parties the independent candidate
must file with the board of elections
petition signed by 25 percent of the
voters entitled to vote for a candidate
The basis for figuring this rs percent
is the gubernatorial vote in the last
primary.
5. Greensboro, during the census pc
riod of 1870 to 1880. In 1870 Green's
boro's population was 497. Ten years
later, 1880, it was 21O5, or an increase
of 325.5 percent.
+ 6. Three western counties, Alleg-
hany, Swain and Yancey, and two
eastern, Currituck and Perquimans.
The census of 1880 showed that IA
counties had lost population during
that census period.
