SHAPING NEW DEAL
"Was Not Wage Farmers
Who Jeered When Those
Laws Were Declared In
Valid" President Says;
Tells Labor Its Support Is
Priceless Contribution

Washington, Aug. 10.-(AP)-Presi-
dent Roosevelt told labor's non-par-
tisan league today he was confident
future history would show, as it had
in the past, that "a return to reac-
tionary practices is ever short-lived.'
In letter which George l.. Berry
president of the league, read at the
leagues first national convention. Mr.
Roosevelt said:
During the past three years we
have endeavored to correct through
legislation certain of the evils in our
economic system We have sought tc
pat stop to certain economic prac-
tees which did not promote the gen.
eral welfare.
Some Of the laws which were en-
acted were declared invalid.
1t is a notable fact that it was
not the wage earners who jeered when
those laws were declared invalid.
Il greet you in the faith that flu
ture history will show, as past history
has so repeatedly and so effectively
shown, that a return to reactionary
practices is ever short-lived.
Having tasted the benefits of Ii
beration, men and women do not fol-
long forego these benefits.
Il have implicit faith that we shall
find our way to progress through law
Your support is a priceless contribu
ton toward continued faith in thai
outcome"

By j. g.; 8ASKERV1LI.

Raleigh, Aug 10-Most of those
here VINO are interested in having a
four-year medical school established
in the State, probably as part of
the University of North Carolina,
think that part of the school, en-
bracing the final two years in medi-
cine, should be located in Raleigh. 1t
has been known for some time that a
determined effort will be made by
alumni of the University of North
Carolina and Wake Forest medical
schools, which so far have offered
only two-year pre-med courses, to-
gether with many other doctors in
the State, will make a determined eff
fort to get the 1887 General Assem-
bly, to establish a four-year medical
school in the State in order to pre-
vent the closing of the Carolina and
Wake Forest schools by the American
Medical Association. One of the lead
ers in this movement is DR.. Ben j..

Raleigh, Aug 10.-The two offices
to be opened in the State soon by the
National Security Board will have
plenty of work to do between now and
January 1, when the old age benefits
section of the social security act be-
come effective without any coopera-
tive State law, Commissioner of La
Dor A. L. Fletcher pointed out today.
For these two offices will have the
big task of listing every employe and
every employer in the State between
now and January 1, in order that the
government may start the collection
of the one percent assessment or tax
on all payrolls and on the ages of all
employees.
Scramble for Offices.
One of these offices will probably be
located in Raleigh and the other pro-
badly in Salisbury, although Char
lotte is known to be making very
strong effort to get the second office,
Commissioner Fletcher said. The first
thing these offices will probably do
will be to make up lists of all employ
ers in the State, with the number of
employees of each, the period of time
each has been employed and the total
wages received to date. All of this
data is required before the effective
date of the old age benefits section
of the law on January 1, although no
benefits will be paid until January 1,
1912. But beginning January 1, 1887,
every employee and every employer
must start making their payments of
one per cent per year on the wages
and salaries received and on total pay
rolls in order to build up the benefits
or insurance fund, Fletcher pointed
out.
Compulsory Insurance.
The old age benefits plan is in
reality nothing more than compulsory
annuity insurance which becomes eff
fective at age IS and which will pay
from $40 to a maximum of $85 a
month, depending upon the total earn

LEONARD ASSA|LS
STATE TAX SET-UP
Tells Labor Convention
Democratic Principles
Are Abandoned

Winston-Salem, Aug. 1O.-(AP)-
Paul Leonard, of Statesville, head OF
the North Carolina Fair Tax Asso-
citation, denounced North Carolina's
tax policies today in an address be-
fore the annual convention of the
State Federation of Labor.
"When a state goes so far in the
departure from the one true Demo
cratic principle of fair taxation
ability to pay that it collects more
than so percent of its revenue in con-
sumptive taxes, it is time to call a
halt and reverse the trend" he as
serted.
Leonard said the recent report of
the State Department of Revenue for
the fiscal year just ended showed
over $1O,OOO,O00 had been collected in
general sales taxes and over $19,0OO,-
900 in gasoline taxes, which, along
with other consumptive taxes, amount
ed to more than SO percent of the
total collections.
George l.. Googe, southern repre-
sentative Of the A. f. of L., declared
in an address to the convention the
biggest thing confronting organized
labor now is reelection of President
Roosevelt. He condemned the Re-
publican labor plank. He discussed
at some length the controversy in the
A. F. of L. over the question of craft
unionism, denying the A. F. of L..
was opposed to vertical uniOniSm as
such.

Raleigh Aug. 1O.-(AP)-Captain
Charles d. Farmer, of the highway
patrol, reported today arrests of
drunken drivers in July numbered
BIG, gain of about 20 percent over
the 304 in June, and attributed the in
crease to habits of vacationists.
I'VE always have an increase in
drunken driving arrests at this time

1t is interesting to note there were
fewer drunken driving arrests in the

Ny j. u. BA NAER VlLE
Raleigh, Aug. 10.-The suggestion
made by State Treasurer Charles M.
Johnson that the time has come for
the State to issue some more road
bonds with which to build needed
links in the State highway system and
rebuild worn out and obsolete roads
built IL or Is years ago, which are no
longer adequate for present day traf-
fic, has stirred up plenty Of talk in
political circles here. Some common
tators think that Johnson has stel ped
inter a veritable hornets nest in adj
vocating the issuance of any more
bonds, even if they can be issued and
retired without in any way increas-
ing the States debt service require
ments. as Johnson maintains. Most of
those here who have studied Treas
urer Johnson's suggestion, however,
are inclined to approve it and think
that he is advocating move which in
the long run is economical and en-
tirely sound.
Only Way To MOdernize.
The proposal made by State Treas
urer Johnson in a speech before the
North Carolina Automobile Dealers
Association in Asheville Saturday. was
that the only way the State can re-
build and modernize it's main high
way system is by issuing some new
bonds in sufficient amount to do the
lob properly, since it will be impos-
sible to get enough funds for new
construction from current highway
revenue to do more than patch the
roads or put temporary surface treat
ment on them. Johnson pointed out
