WHERE NEW DEALS ARE OLD

Sir Ernest Benn, British economist with
q worldwide reputation, is authority 1of
the statement that practically all import
ant steps i'm the so-ealled New Deal-in tire
United States have been taken IN England
in the past thirty years, and ali have taliec'
Over period of quarter OF century or
more England has experimental with
these fantastic Socialistic schemes; has PAID
the price, and discovered they will not
work, according to the frank statement
made by Sir Ernest Benn.
England's actual experience in these
matters ought to be worth something as an
object lesson to the United States, but IL
seems it has not occurred to anybody IN
authority in this country to make an lnves-
tigation in England to ascertain how these
tricks banned out over there. 1t is pos
sibiez that this country's :experimenters
have not been extremely anxious to have
the attention of the United States conferred
on England's record of New Dealing.
Sir Ernest Benn sums up British New
Deal experimenting with this statement:
$50 far as our new New Deals are con-
eerned an examination of them from the
beginning leads to the eonclusiontthat none
of them has worked out as intended.
Sir Ernest then adds that England has
had a quarter century experience with usl-
employment insurance, and says it is now
claimed that unemployment is four times
as large as when the plan was first
adopted.
Unemployment insurance was recon-
mended to the English people as certain
to abolish unemployment and bring to real
izatioa the Utopian dreams of that pertien
of the population afflicted with wheeirtls
IN the head. The plan has been failsre
there are four times as many people ID
England today receiving public support as
was the case when the plan was adopted
a quarter of century ago; and the cfiiei
result of the plan has been to enormously

of PEOPLE who refuse to work when work
is offered.

WHY TAKE A CHANCE?

Consolidated Statutes, section
No. 5000. says: "The election of
presidential electors shall be con-
Quoted and the returns made as
nearly as may be directed in re-
lation to the election of state Of
ficers, except as herein otherwise
expressed"
In article 2, section 2 of the
Constitution of the United States,
| it is provided that "each state
shall appoint, in such manner as
the legislature thereof may direct,
number of electors" etc. This
is still the law. The 18th amend
ment to the Constitution begins:
"The electors shall meet" ETC.,
but does not change the method
of appointing electors as set forth
above.
North Carolina has heretofore
chosen the electors by having each
party nominate its choice and
the people vote individually their
choice in the general election, so
that the result was that Republi-
can or Democratic electors were
chosen, but the right preserved
enabled the people to choose a
split delegation, and the fact that
a split delegation is seldom chosen
anywhere in the country does not
argue for a denial of the right.
However, the legislature of the
state last year changed the meth
cd of appointment by providing
that the delegates nominated in
the primary should be certified to
the secretary Of state, but exclud-
ed from the ballot in the general
election. In their place the names
of the nominees for president and
vice-president are to be placed on
the respective Democratic OF Re-
publican ballot, so that the people
vote directly for their choice of
pre- d en- and vice-president,
which no where in the Constitu-
ton are they given the right to
do.
In voting their choice, either
Democratic or Republican, they
are said to vote for all the cleo
tors, one party or the other, the
result of this kind Of balloting
precludes a split delegation. Now
the state could have chosen any
other method it deemed wise but
lit did not. 1t chose the elective
method. The change is provided
for in section 6055a9 of the Con-
solidated Statutes. This change
seems to me to place the ballot
into an illegal status. What right
has the state to place the nomi-
nees for president and vicc-presi-
dent on the. ballot?
This forces people to vote di-
rectly for these officers and. this
I is no where permitted under the
Constitution. This ballot also de-
MES to the voter the right to vote
; individually for electors and also
forces him to vote for them in a
block when he would not be cal
culated to know who they are,

state can elect to follow the cleo

and then deny the right of choice.

declared void if it were ever test

Carolina.

electors to vote f& the party

ment in Greenwich Village, she
thought it would be best to let
him know her home address, and
change of name. After all, he
was her nearest living relative.
They had never understood each
other, but he had been gruffly
kind to her in her misfortune.
She would trust him. 1t was
right that he should know how
things we're going with her, and
she could rely on him to keep
her occupation, address and new
name a profound secret.
1t was necessary to keep in
touch with the Colonel, so that
she might get news of her hus-
band, disturbing as that would
inevitably be. Not until the trial
in San Francisco was over would
she know any real security.
She had been with Yvonne q
week when she received a letter
from the colonel, addressed to
Luana Waters. It hurt her to
see his handwriting, no who had
been so proud, and who must
now address her in an assumed
name. That was part of her
humiliation.

letter, ''it is good to know that

something of a more intellectual
and less frivolous character for
you. It is naturally a shock to
me to learn that you have
changed a family name which
has always been held in high
esteem in our community. But,
in the circumstances. it is no
doubt for the best.
II have Just come from the
office Of the district attorney,
who, fortunately for us, informs
me that the person who has
brought such disgrace on us, al
ready has a wife residing in a
suburb of Chicago. Therefore
his marriage to you is illegal,
and I am taking the necessary
steps to annul it. I am hoping
to be able to have this done as
quietly as may be, thereby avoid
ing any further unfortunate pub
licity.
Il shall keep you advised on
this matter.
With best wished for a bet
ter future.
"COL. JAMES MCCARTHY"
A wave of intense relief swept
over Luana on reading this let
ter. In the incessant turmoil of
her thoughts since leaving San
Diego, she had thought it per-
fectly in the cards that Gerald
Bruton had been lying to her
when he had informed her his
first marriage was ended, that he
had had a divorce.
Now, she knew it was part and
parcel of the deception he had
practised on her all the way
through. She had been his silly
little tool, but thank heaven the
bigamouS marriage had never
been consummated.
She hoped with all her heart
that charges of bigamy might be
kept out of the trial, however.
Not only for her own sake, but
because she had a woman's
heart. and. though no longer was
Gerald anything to her, she knew
his sentence would be sufficiently
heavy without a further stretch
being added to it because of his
connection with her.
She re-read the letter. The
signature with the Colonel" pre-
fixed to it touched her. She had
humbled his name, but no one
could take his Army record from
her stepfather.
Yvonne broke in on her
thoughts. Yvonne was curious
about that letter that was the
very first one Luana had received
during the week in her flat!
Strange that a girl as good
looking as Luana should be so
devoid of correspondence! That
was to strike the inquisitive
girl more and more fore

Lorraine thought in big sums OF
money. She had given the poor
boy a good deal of jewelry, be.
cause it suited him and he adored
it. It went with his Spanish good
looks and his air of effeminacy.
It was almost noon when the
Swedish maSseur arrived. He had
been kept waiting so often and so
long that he was taking no
chances. He had an excellent
clientele among rich society
women and the nouveau richie,
largely because of his good work
with Mrs. Vandaveer's figure. In
his common sense northern soul
he thought she was a very selfish.
stupid woman, but he was grateful
to her. too.
He could pound hard, and did,
paying no attention to protesting
Squawks. Not that Mrs. Wanda
veer made any fuss. Her vanity
was so strong that she would Suf'
fer anything for it.
In addition to forty minutes
stiff massage, he made her exercise
for fifteen minutes on a mattress
on the floor. This kept her mus
cles limbered and was an aid to
circulation, since the lady rarely
walked a step that could be
avoided, like so many American
women.
She rested for half an hour after
he had gone, then had her bath.
She donned a beautiful rose-col-
ored peignoir and extended herself
on the chaise lounge in her bou-
DORA small room adjoining her
bedroom with an exit via a flight

She drank fresh coffee her maid
brought her, and scanned the so

Lorraine really enjoyed.
She had no luncheon date today.
In her present mood of dissatisfac-
ton with her mode of life, that
was all to the good.
Ramon arrived long before the
appointed time to escort her to a
tendance. Grudgingly she per-
mitted him to be sent up.
He was intense" today. Di-
rectly the maid had closed the bou-

flew to her side. He not only
kissed her hand, but kissed her on
the lips.
And he said an amazing thing
as though he meant 1t. Imagine
such effrontery, thought Lorraine.
He said: "Darleeng, I cannot

be with you! You must get a d.

you must marry me, and we will

ALONE FAVOR
new TAX BILL,
Business And Industry Bat
ter Administration Plan
For IL Hours

WASHINGTON, April 3. (UP)
business and industry battered
away for ~ hours yesterday at
the administrations new tax bill
charging that it is unsound, un-
fair, and will lead TO financial
chaos.
Bankers, industrialists, theorists
and economists paraded before
the house ways and means COM
mittee keeping up a drum fire of
criticism at the measure which IS
expected to raise $1,137, 900, 900
in new revenues over a period of
three years.
When sleepy committee men,
berS quit work at 1916 p. M.
only one kind word had come. for
the bill. It was from Max Bedacht
of New York. But even the COM
munists aren't completely salts
fled with the bill, Bedacht said.
He demanded that taxes be i'm
posed on all tax exempt securi-
ties, that the corporation taxes
now in effect and which it is pro-
posed to repeal, be retained, and
that generally higher taxes be i'm
posed on the rich "to keep the
poor from starving to death"
The. communists approval of
the new tax bill, in principle,
brought smiles to the tired faces
of both Democrats and Republican
members of the committee.
Earlier, former Rep. Franklin
Fort, Newark, N. j., banker, had
assailed the bill as frontal blow
against capitalism.
The. former congressman warn
ed the committee that the pro
posed graduated tax on undlvld-
ed corporation profits will lead to
dumping of securities on exchange
markets as bankers Tighten up"
on loans to needy corporations
Repeated warnings came to- the
committee during the day that the
proposed corporation tax will be
a penalty on thrift and will OPP
crate against the little fellow in
business. 49,, "A. .

Emperor Is Declared in I'm

Captured

ROME, April 3. (UP).-Em-
pcrOr Halle Selassic was in immi-
nCnt danger Of being captured
last night by Italian flying co..
umnS in the Lake Ashangi area,
reports from the Eritrean war
, front said.
The conquering Lion of Judah.
accompanied by a handful of of
fccrS of his imperial guard which
suffered crushing defeat in bat
tie Tuesday, was said to be re-
treating with all possible speed
towards DeSsye, Ethiopian north
ern war headquarters.
Italian columns repeatedly were
converging on the emperor's road
to Dcssye from east and west
in an attempt to bottle up the
! NcguS.
The road which Emperor Selas-
! sic was said to be following leads
to Adds Ababa, through Dessye,
! from a point a few miles south
of Lake Ashangi, where the Ital-
ian tri-color was hoiSted after
Tuesdays battle.
Emperor Selassie repeatedly di-
rected his troops in that clash
from a nearby mountain strong
hold. Italy claimed a complete
victory, saying 1000 Philippians
were killed and an equal number
wounded.
When the Ethioplans were rout-
ed the Negus, with his chosen gen.
erals, fed.
Italian scouting planes were
said to have spotted his move
mcnts and lightly equipped, swift
columns were sent to intercept
him.
1t was claimed officially that
many of the emperor's imperial
guards deserted to Italy after the
battle. The guards were comprised
of kand-picked troops and were
the best equipped and trained
army under the Negus' command.
Meanwhile, it was announced
Italian occupation of the Laka
Tana region, in the British sphere
of influence, should not disturb
Great Britain as Premier Benito
/ Mussolini will continue to adhere
to his oft-repeated promise to re-
spect British interests in Eth
opia.
Officials denied that Italian oc-
cupation of the Tana region was
| for political reasons or in order
to force a settlement or showdown
with Britain in view of the Rhine
land crisis.
"0ur motives were purely mill
tary and strategic" an officer
said.
