You can easily identify a maple

There is no other with opposite leaves

Is quite enough, leaves and keys to
be found only on naples the world

The Norway is a rapid grower and
often reaches a large size. Because
of its round head and abundant
foliage. it is especially tree for city
planting. The leaves appear before
the flowers They are very broad,
five-lobed and remotely toothed. Be-
sides, they are smooth and green on
both sides.
You will not see the flowers unless
you know where to look for them. They
are yellow and inconspicuouS, borne
in fiat clusters. Here. later. will be
found the twin-seed babies with their
lovely wings. See how much they
remind you of the insignia worn by

Because the flowers are quite late
in coming. the seeds are late, too.
They do not germinate until the fol-
lowing Spring. a little quirk OF our
two soft naples" You may gather
these seeds and mail or ship them
to friends who wish TO plant row
of them or more They will germinate
and prove their ability to stand the
long trip and wait for an opportunity
to grow.
The leaves of the Norway maple turn
a soft lovely yellow in late Autumn
and remain upon the tree much longer
than our NAPLES When they do f1ut-
ter to the ground they are still per-
feet.
Another little test to make of the
Norway is to break stem or small
twig and see the milk pour forth.
The Norway does not seem to have
much insect appeal, and for this rea-
son it would seem to be an ideal tree
to plant. Its smooth leaves have no
affinity for the dust and SCOT of the
city air In Winter the structure of
the tree is very attractive against the
sky. On Arbor day, in your State,
give the Norway consideration.

Taxing Hit
ByGruhan'

Raleigh May (AP)-A. H. (Sandy)
Graham, a Democratic gubernatorial
candidate issued a statement here to-
day charging one of his opponents,
Dr. Ralph W. Mcdonald, advocated
tax on every man, woman and child
who earns as much as 1888 per
month"
This is no wild charge" Graham
said. Professor Mcdonald himself
has made the record.
I'm the last session of the legisla-
ture, when the Forsyth philosopher
was offering substitutes for the reve-
nue. BILL he submitted a program
showing just how he planned to raise
money enough to do away with the
sales tax. And way down in that
plan is the joker, skilfully camou-
flaged behind the pedagogic title 'oc-
cupational tax
and here is what the professor
wanted to do. He wanted, and no
doubt still wants to levy a. tax on
every man, woman and child in the
State who has a job, does not pay
Schedule B tax, and makes as much
as $1,000 per year, or 1888 per
month.
He wants the man who makes that
small sum to pay SIS yearly, and from
there up the tax would increase to a
maximum of $500"

Congressman's Opponent

Il e RA SE[ IT'D WILL

Raleigh, May 6.-When second dis
trict visitors coming to Mcdonald
headquarters in Raleigh find Candid
ate McDonalds back turned, many of
them will say that Governor Ehring-
haus has strengthened himself in his
attack on Congressman John Hosea
Kerr.
These gentlemen may be conceded
to Judge Kerr's opponent, A. O..
Dickens, without formality, but they
argue interestingly. They say the gov
ernor is right about that session, that
Judge Kerr's tobacco compact bill is
not a crop-saver and that the con-
gresham was highly vulnerable when
he opened on the governor.
There is, of course, slight disagree
ment in the Mcdonald camp. These
hot Dickens supporters like the way
the executive assaulted the incumbent
but Candidate Mcdonald was count
ed on to make capital of the COVER
nors determination not to summon
the legislature to Raleigh. Even so,
the kick given to Judge Kerr pleases
them. They cannot shout any praises
because that might pitch an inhar-
mony into the dulcet notes of the Nc
Donald song.
1t was interesting to hear from Will
son, Warren and Northampton praise
of the governor for rawhiding the in
cumbent congressman. What DR.. Nc
Donald says about Governor Ehring-
haus is not to be retracted, but when
it comes to saying the world in sea-
son for Mr.. Dickens these second dis
trictors are very much in favor of
Mr.. Ehringhaus.
Judge Kerr intimated that Cover
nor Ehringhaus had something sus-
picious as a reason for refusing to
call this special session. The intima-
ton was that a fear of governorship
candidate dominated his excellency.
But the congressman evidently was
not counting on the turn of events
which would make that hard-headed-
ness of the governor work in the in
terest of the very dynamic Dickens.

DRASTIC SECURITY
LAWS THREATENED
Foes of Present Measures
Paving Way for Genuine
Specialization
BY LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer


OPPONENTS OF social security
who are killing measures in State leg
islatures that would provide coopera-
ton with the Federal government
may be paving the way for something
drastic. That is the opinion of obser-
vers who have been travelling thro-
ugh the country.
The Townsend organization may be
shown up as folly, but the growth
of public sentiment for widespread
social security will be a paramount
issue at the congressional elections in
November. Two years later it may be
the paramount issue.
And no measure as "thin" as the
present attempt will satisfy the mil
lions.

Washington, May 6.-(AP)-House
Republicans were summoned today to
a conference tonight to discuss the
party's position on the deficiency ap-
preparation bill, carrying the new re-
lief fund when it reaches the House
floor tomorrow.
President Roosevelt yesterday turn
ed down fatty the suggestion of some
House members for earmarking $45U,-
100000 of the requested $1,000, 600, 900
relief appropriations for PWA pro-
jects instead of turning it all over to
Harry L. Hopkins of the Works Pro-
gress Administration.
This was one of the issues open for
discussion by the Republicans.
Representative Taber, of New York,
ranking Republican on the approp-
riations committee, said:
There will be fight. That is de-
termined in advance. But the confer
ence will be more for the purpose of
explaining the situation to the mem
bership than to organize the opposi-

from the other which showed three

The companies paid taxes aggre-
gazing $74,328 last year.
The Gastonia and Suburban Gas
Company, the Asheville Gas Company
and the Raleigh Gas Company re-
ported profits aggregating $31, 521.
The profits Of the three amounted
to S2,25S more than the net losses re-
ported by five other companies, but
Winborne said the report of the Hen
derson-Oxford Gas Company, when
filed, would offset this.
