The opponents of the administra-
TONS treaties intended to promote
world trade argued this building up

foreign purchases would Zee denied
American supplies in time of war.
Their argument referred also to the
Pittman bill to prohibit the transpor-

States lawmakers are still in session

Weak Point.
The weak point of compact legisla-
tive by states lies in the invitation it
holds out to other states, previously
not in the tobacco growing class, to
get into the business on a large scale
wherever the soil permits. No matter
how many states join in the compacts.
there will always be one or more
border states which will Immediately
throw everything out of killer by en-
try into the growing of tobacco.
And so it seems clear that there
must be something in the nature of
Federal legislation. North Carolina

-ployer, to pay in an equal or even
greater amount each year, in order
to build up the fund from which re-
tirement wages and pensions would be
paid when teachers reach retirement
age at SO or 65. The bill is similar to
the Federal old age benefits law, with
the exception that the Federal law
requires deductions of only one per
cent a month from wages, with the
employers paying a similar amount,
while this bill would require reduc-
tons Of five per cont from teachers
wages, with the State also paying an
equal amount as their employer.
Costly To Teachers
At the present time the public
proximately $18,0O0,00O a year in sal
aries, while under the appropriations
bill already passed by the House, con-
tanning 10 per cent increase in sal
aries for all teachers, the expenditure
for salaries alone will be at least $780,
100000 year. Thus, if this bill should
be enacted the school teachers would
be required to deduct half of this
newest increase in their salaries, or
81 100000 year as their share to-
wards the old age pension plan, while
the State would either have to appro-
pirate 81 100000 a year or more as it's
share towards the pensio nfund, since
instructors in all State educational
institutions in addition to the public
schools, come under the bill, or use
the other $1,O00,000 it is appropriating
for increasing teachers salaries for
this purpose.
Money Sources Dried Up
The finance committees, however,
have already served notice that they
have raised all the revenue they can
find, while Chairman Victor S. Bryant
of the House committee and Chair
man Libby Ward, of the House Appro-
priations Committee, admitted that
when the revenue and appropriations
bills passed the House, they were
about $65O,00O out of balance. Since
then, the Senate has been experiment.
ing with the revenue bill with the re-
suit that the revenue bill is more out
of balance with the appropriations
than when passed by the House. In
stead of adding more revenue to the
BILL the Senate has been reversing the
procedure and removing it. Accord
ingly, the chances for finding $780,
600 a year in additional revenue with
which to finance a State pension
system for teachers are not very
bright, even though almost every one
agrees such a pension system is de-
sirable and would be good thing.
About the only way such pension
system could be put into effect by this
General Assembly it is pointed out,
would be for the teachers to agree to
accept five per cent increase in sal

The impression is being created that
persons of wealth and influence are in
evitable and invariable opponents of
change and improvement in the lot
of the common man.
Yet, without George Washington,
Robert Morris and Charles Carroll,
the three men believed to have been
the richest in the Colonies, the Ameri-
can Revolution would not have been
revolved.
Today is the 2OOth anniversary of
the birth of Charles Carroll of Car
rollton (MarylandD, to whom John
Adams was referring when he de-
clared, four months before the Decla-
ration of Independence: I'm the cause
of American liberty, his zeal, fortitude
and perseverance have been so con-
spicuous that he is said to be mark
ed out for a peculiar vengeance by
the friends of administrations but he
continues to hazard his all, his inn
mense fortune, the largest in Anne
RIGA, and his life."
Carroll knew there would be a price
upon the heads of every signee of the
Declaration. He was the last signer
to die. Meanwhile, he protected Ro-
man Catholics when they were sub
jected to persecution and himself be-
