N. & w. Workers
Average Over Is

Hard Record To Equal. Wright
Has Longest Service Of
Ashe Employees.

Norfolk and Western employees,
from the top to the bottom, have
worked on the railroad an average
of more than rs years, the railway
said in statement yesterday, which
declared that's a record that few
Observation-Disclosures or otherwise
can match"
This record of long, active ex-
perience," the N. & w. asserted,
has developed a personnel of spe-
clalists on this railroad Expert
ence which has developed skill of
the highest degree; accuracy, eff
cheney and dependhbility . ex-
perience which has developed and
insures the transportation service
provided by the railroad"
The statement pointed out that
largely because of these facts, the
Norfolk and Western is solid, per-
manent, financially responsible or
ganization; substantial taxpayer
which contributes to the support of
your public schools and other insti-
tutions; an enterprising citizen that
aids in the development of your
community: a big customer of in
dustry and agriculture; and above
all, progressive railroad"
The Norfolk and Western said it
els justly proud of the long service
records of its employees, who are
constantly striving to better the

Predicts Return
OF Prohibition
DIR. w. L. POteat Says Majority
Of People In State Against
Wet Laws.

DR.. w. L. Poteat, president emeri-
tus of Wake Forest College who
was 81 years old, Wednesday, pre-
dicted in an interview that repeal Of
prohibition will live only a compar-
atively short time in North Caro-
lima.
"I don't think it will take many
years to bring the state back to its
original position" said the vener-
able president of the United Dry
Forces.
81 think the legalization of liquor
in North Carolina is most unfortu-
nate," he said, 81 think the legis-
lature seemed at least disrespect-
full of the will of the majority of
the population.
ut is a general problem and not
a local one, and think the exper-
fence of the counties which have al
lowed these stores is proving that
general view. The experience they
are having shows an enormous in
crease in consumption of liquor and
its resulting evils. I think that
only a year or two more of such
experience will convince these coun-
ties of their blunder."

CONGRESS CAN

Tax Changes Should Be
Made In Order To Re-
move Inequities.

The national administration real
ICES that the tax on undistributed
corporate earnings has been a fail

Celler, Democrat. of New York, re-
Gently. at was passed as revenue
raising measure" he added, land as
we all know all 1t accomplished was
to force corporations to deplete their
reserves. The government got vir-
tually no income from it, and busi-
ness was harmed"
Congressman Celler has introduc-
ed a measure to amend the tax. and
If the advice of qualified experts is
followed it will be passed this ses-
sion. L. H. Parker, treasury author
ity on taxation, has pointed out that
his department has received a vast
amount of correspondence complain
ing of the effects of the tax-and
that almost all of it has come from
small, not large. corporations which
found that the tax made II next to
impossible for them to expand their
plants and build up financial re-
serves. Senator Harrison, Chairman
of the Senate Finance Committee.
has expressed himself in favor of
tax revision to give relief to debt
ridden corporations, and to encour-
age plant modernization and rebuild
ing. The late Senator Robinson, ma
jority leader, spoke on behalf OF
of the law so that in
vestments in new enterprises would
be encouraged. Secretary Morgen-
thau, in a letter to the President
tax policies, said that
tax changes should be made in or
der to remove inequities and aid in
lustry. Jesse Jones, chairman of the
RFC, declared that he would like to
see an amendment to this act that
would encourage expenditures for
of all character; for
of plant. machinery and
'quipment." etc.
Probably no item on the congress-
onal calendar would do so much to
business. to increase
pending power. and to provide new
for employment as Mr..
'eller's bill to modify the undistri-
uted earnings tax. Congress will do

sSELECTTvE CUTTING SECRET
OF PROFITS In FARM LOGGING

One reason why foresters encour-
age the growing of trees as farm
crop is that the farmer is In even
better position than the large tim
berland owner to harvest the crop
when It will be worth most. Many
farmers, however, do not get full
value from their woodlands. "Selec-
tive cutting" Ia one of the secrets of
profitable logging on the farm, says
the United States Forest Service.
r. d. Carver reports actual exper-
ience In cutting a mixed stand of
sugar maple trees. some moderately
young. less than a foot In diameter,
others ranging older to mature trees
more than feet in diameter. The
larger trees will include so much
more lumber of higher grade that
the average value Of the cut will be
about twice as much a thousand feet.
and the larger trees will yield from
is to 20 times as much sawed tim
ber as the smaller. To harvest full
value. then. the farmer should cut
