c. O.P. NOT TO SA|RK.
DUTIES SAYS LEADER
Responsibilities Increase AS
Representation Lessons,
States Smell

Washington, Jan. 5.-(AP)-The APP
preaching 18th Congress imposes up
ION the Republican membership OF
the House a responsibility to the
American people far beyond ordinary
legislative responsibilities of congress
sional minorities. Although our re-
presentation has been. lessened, our
RESPONSIBILITIES have increased. We
will not shirk them.
I am certain there will be a COM
pact minority, militant for the rights
of all the people, but not arbitrarily
resistant: a constructive, not a de-
structive minority.
Because of our decimated ranks, no
one would have the tenereity to say
that we could push to successful
cor clusion any part of our own legis-
lative program, in which the majority
dissented No one property could say
that once the majority is determined
to push through a partisan measure
we would have the strength to stop it.
But this does not imply that we
cannot make every possible effort to
acquaint the puIhlic with the vital is
sues in every legislative proposal, the
fallacies and the loopholes that hastily
drawn legislation invariably leaves.
AS | regard it, this is one of our most
important duties in the coming ses-
sion and it is one we will fulfill to the
best of our ability.
To carry this out entails need for
the freest possible discussion Of leg
islative proposals. There should be
no gag rule clamped on by the ma
jority. The public is entitled to know
what Congress is doing and, so far
as it is humanity possible, the Repub-
licans will invist upon administration
forces permitting this basic principle
Of democracy. Good government de-
ponds upon it; present day thought
and progress demand it.
The Republican party has always
been the champion of American pro-
gress under constitutional means
There will be no deviation from this
policy now.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-01-05

Washington, Jan! 5.-(AP)-The
war department recommended to Con-
gress today that more than 81 100000
be appropriated for maintenance of
rivers and harbors in North Carolina
during the fiscal year, beginning next
July l.
The recommendations were included
in the annual report of Maj. Gen. E.
M. Markham, chief Of army engineer
ing.
The largest appropriation, for $225,-
900, was recommended for mainten-
ance of the Cape Fear river at and
below Wilmington. Maintenance OF
the new harbor at Morehead City was
estimated at 100000.
Only $1,000 in new work was re-
commended in the report. This was
for Improvement of Smith creek at
Wilmington.
The following appropriations were
recommended for maintenance:
Indand waterway, Norfolk, Va, to
Beaufort Inlet, $4,000; Knobs creek
$4,000; eEdenton harbOr, $4,000;
Cashie river, $4,000; Roanoke river,
$4,000; Scuppernong river, $500;
Manteo bay, $4,000; Mackay creek,
$4,000; Swan Quarter-Deep bay water
way, $4,000; Belhaven harbor, $15,5O0;

CAGE GAME HERE
NOT TO Be PLAYED
Lack of Proper Goals for
New Gym May Interrupt
Season Seriously

Governmental "red tape" is likely
to play havoc with the cage season
at Henderson high school, leaving the
fine new gymnasium without goals
for the court, it was stated today by
Coach Latham L. Miller.
The game scheduled for this even
ing with the Louisburg All-Stars has
been cancelled because the regulation
goals have not arrived, and will not
likely do so before February 1, the
mentor said.
1t was stated that the goals were
ordered many months ago, and the
company which had the contract,
bankrupted. The contract was let
again, and shifted from one place to
another as local officials kept writ
ing letters to rush the necessary
equipment.
In order that his boys could get in
their drills, Miller erected some tenn
porary goals, but these are deemed
unreliable for regulation play.

BIG INCREASE SHOWN
IN TOBACCO EXPORTS

Washington, Jan. 5-Exports of leaf
tobacco from the United States dur

this year totaled 383, 805,915 pounds
valued at $123,O7O,172, compared with

502,376, in the corresponding period
of 1885 according to preliminary fig
ures compiled in the commerce de-
partment's tobacco division.
The volume of leaf tobacco exports
in the 1886 period, it is pointed out,
was less than that of any first IL
months period between 1884 and 1881,
exceeded the corresponding periods of
1882 and 1888, but was under that of

Federal Revenue Collection
In State Sets New Record;
$157,O58, 1886 In 6 Months

under comparison in the preceding
fiscal year, "a further computation
shows. 1t also denotes average month
ly collections in the sum of $26,176,-
1879, considered quite a corpulent
monthly total. ...
Internal revenue collections in De
cember, 1896, amounted to $27,7S1, s77.-
Sc. Mr.. Robertson's report shows,
this representing a gain of $5,977, 3d.
95 over the total of $21,8O4, 363.61 for
December, 1885, a very hefty increase.
The figures present an eloquent
story Of greatly improved business
conditions in North Carolina as well
as effective collections in the office
of Mr.. Robertson, it is believed. Chan
ges in economic conditions are quick
ly reflected in income taxes and other
taxes collected by the federal govern

affording impressive evidence of the

Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-01-05

Greensboro, Jan. 5.-Reaching a
monetary total greater than that of
any preceding semi-annual period in
history, Collector of Internal Revenue
Charles H. Robertson and his asso-
ciates in the district of North Caro-
lima obtained $15705S, 886.16 for the
federal government in the six months
ending December 81, 1886 and con-
stituting the first half Of the present
fiscal year.
These figures are embraced in the
report compiled for Collector Robert
son Monday by l. T. Newton chief of
the accounting division. They repres-
ent an increase of $17,782, 1915 in
the current fiscal year by comparison
with internal revenue collections in
the sum of $139, 7S2, 181.15 secured in
the corresponding period in the last
fiscal year.
This constitutes an average month
w gain of S2,879, 1915 over the period
