Donald's own followers, and the man.
ages Of Clyde r. Hoey, of Shelby, and
of Lieutenant Governor A. H. Graham
and their assistants, are going to have
1ingside seats ny radios Thursday
night, since they are interested to
know two things, as follows:
l. Will Mcdonald tell how he ex-
poets to raise the $25,00O,000 in new
taxes needed to provide the additional
revenue needed to put his progrom
into operation?
2. Will Mcdonald state his position
with regard to the liquor question and
say definitely whether he favors a
Statewide liquor control2Iplan, with
State liquors stores, instead of county
LIQUOR stores, with all the revenue
going into the State treasury
Will Demand More Money.
Virtually all of those who know
anything about the cost of the State
government and the amount of rev.
enue needed by the, State, agree that
the 1887 General Assembly will be
asked to appropriate at least $15,O0O,-
900 more per year for the general
fund than the 1885 assembly did, in
order to provide for only two of the
activities favored, by DR.. Mcdonald
schools and old age benefits. It is
agreed that the school forces are gos
ing to ask for an increase of about
$1OO0O,O coo a year in the school ap-
preparation and try to get it boosted
from $21, 100000 a year to $31 OOO,O 900
a year, and that under no circum-
stances will they accept an increase
of less than $6,000,000 or a total of
$27, 900, 900. Most observers who have
computed the cost of the various edu-
cational changes advocated by Nc
Donald are convinced it will take
nearer $1O,000,00O than $6,00O,000 to
put his school program into effect. I'm
addition it is pointed out that he is
recommending changing the present
laws so that the counties, cities and
towns will be forced to levy about
$1O,000,OO0 a year in supplementary
taxes On property without submitting
these supplements to a vote of the
people, as is required at present.
Social Security Big Item.
DR.. Mcdonald has also been advo-
eating State participation under the
Federal Social Security Act, especial
ly old age benefits, under which the
government will pay SIS month to
each person in the State, white or col
ored, IS years old. or older, who can
qualify provided the State will pay an
equal amount. A recent survey COM
pleted by the Board of Charities and
Public Welfare Indicated that there
are $4,000 persons, in the State IS
years old who could qualify for the
old age benefits. In order for the
State to match the SIS month in
Federal funds, and thus pay the old
sters $50 month, the State would
have to raise 100000 a year in new
revenue, it is pointed out.
Thus, in order TO put only two of
DR.. McDonald's principal platform
planks into effect, it will be necessary
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1936-04-01

for the next General Assembly to levy
between $15,OOO,OOO and $19,O0O,OOO
year in new taxes, even if the sales
tax should be retained, it is pointed
out.
Sales Tax Main Point.
But the repeal of the sales tax is the
biggest and thickest and most impor-
tank plank in the Mcdonald platform
and his promise to do away with this
tax is admitted to be winning him
more votes than anything else. If the
sales tax is repealed, however, the
State revenue will be reduced at least
$4,000, 900 year.
So in order to put McDonald's pro-
gram into effect, including the repeal
of the sales tax, old age benefits and
his minimum recommendations for
the schools, the next general assembly
will have to find a minimum of $685.
100000 a year in new taxes, while it
will be asked to provide as much as
$4,000, 900 year in new revenue, it
is maintained. Many want to know
where and how Mcdonald proposes to
get $25,O0O,OO0 a year.

First y Markers
Are to Be Erected
In About a Week
Daily Dispatch BureAu,
In The Sir Walter HOteA,

Raleigh, March Standardization of
the first group of % of the historical
markers being erected along the high
ways of North Carolina as a coopera-
tive enterprise by several State agen-
cies should be completed within about
one week, r. Bruce Etheridge, direc-
tor of the Department of Conserva-
ton and Development, announced to-
day.
In order to speed the work along,
Mr.. Etheridge said that j. l.. Horne,
Jr., of Rocky Mount, member of the
Board of Conservation and Develop
ment and father of the program, is
giving substantial assistance in work
ing out details for the erection of
some of thep lates.
With one or two exceptions, all of
the first group will be placed imme-
diately. Some delay will be experience
ed in at least one instance to permit
details of ceremonies accompanying
the erection to be worked out.
In the meantime, according to Mr..
Etheridge, the committee of histor-
ians headed by DR.. G. c. Crittenden,
secretary of the State Historical Com
AAA4OOAOAl, 10 u0W l0S0nQS
and is selecting additional spots to be
marked.
New Inscriptions.
Several new inscriptions have been
forwarded to the manufacturer who
is expected to have these completed
within the next few weeks. One of
these markers will be for the grave of
Annie Carter Lee, daughter of Gen.
Robert E. Lee, at Warrenton. Other
new markers are for the Battle of
Kings Mountain, just over the South
Carolina line from the North Carolina

inlet into North Carolina; and the
Battle of Alamance, Alamance county
With most of the details necessary
in the launching of the the program
completed, Mr.. Etheridge said that he
expected the program to be speeded
along considerable during the current
spring and summer. The erection OF
the plates is proceeding under the su-
pervision of the State Highway and
Public Works Commission which is
also furnishing the funds for the pur-
pose under special enabling act OF

tional secretary, said he had no know
ledge of the nature of the indictments
but conceded, under questioning, they
probably were the basis of complaints
he had received about Margett.
Before permitting presentation of
the indictments as evidence, the COM
mittee went into secret session to dis
cuss their admissibility.
Representative Tolan, Democrat,
California, Townsendite, had object
ed to accepting the indictments, and
Representative Cavagan, Democrat
New York, insisted the committee be
polled.
Sullivan led up to the indictment
issue by drawing from Clements tes-
timony that complaints had been re-
ceieved on Margett's reputation.
Clements said DR.. Townsend did not
believe the complaints.

In the case of an indictment being

PRESIDENT PLANS
TO SPEED RELIEF
Prepares to Ask Congress
for Quick Approval of
S5OO.0OO, 900 Fund.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Quick Congress approval was sought
today for President Roosevelt's request
for an immediate $780, 100000 relief
appropriation.
Current funds are expected to last
only another month. making action
necessary early in January if the work
relief program is to proceed without
interruption.
Mr.. Roosevelt said yesterday he
would ask for the appropriation, de-
signed to meet Works Progress Admin
istration costs until June 80. during
the first week of Congress. 1t con-
venes on January 5.
Estimates for relief needs In the next
fiscal year, however. will not be sub
mitted until Spring in order to obtain
a better idea of future needs.
The President, in disclosing his re-
quest for the special appropriation and
a study of methods to count the unem-
ployed. said he had taken no action to
stop cuts in w. P. A. rolls.
Harry L. Hopkins, w. P. A. admin
istrator. began the reduction late in
the Fall. describing it as an attempt
to get rid of those who do not need
relief. He said recently the number
on the rolls probably would remain
throughout the Winter near the No

President Roosevelt and Gov. ALI M.
Landon, whom he defeated so de-
cisively at the polls last month, will
sit down in the Presidents ofice for a
friendly chat here Monday morning.
This will be the first time Mr.. Roose-
welt and his political opponent have
met since early in the election cam
paign, when Gov. Landon was one OF
several drought State executives who
attended conference with the Presi-
dent in Des Moines, Iowa. At that
meeting they had little opportunity to
become well acquainted, but Mr..
Roosevelt is known to have expressed
himself later to the effect that he con-
sidered Gov. Landon q splendid fell
low"
Gov. Landon is not coming here for
the express purpose of visiting the
President. His presence is primarily
to attend the Gridiron Club dinner
Monday night. When Mr.. Roosevelt
learned a few days ago that the Gov
ernor would be here, he at once sent
him a personal invitation to visit him
while in Washington.
Gov. Landon's acceptance is under
stood to have been received and the
meeting set for Monday morning.
Both men are known to possess
good sense of humor and it Is natural
to expect that they will have more
than one laugh while discussing cer-
tain features of the past campaign.
It is expected also that the President
will take this opportunity to solicit the
Kansas executives opinion regarding
some national problems. particularly

powerful corporations.
In Detroit officials of the United
