forces work with inadequate appro-
priations on maintenance of the road
system since the State took, over full
responsibility from the counties"
The editorial then goes on to point
out that the governor turns loose only
a meager portion of the reserve funds
because he is afraid to release more
of it since diversion of road funds is
still permissible under the law and
he must retain sufficient reserve to
meet the maximum potential diver
sion.
taThis potential diversion, being
three percent of the retail sales price
of gasoline, for the current biennium
would be close to $4,5O0,OO0. With ST.
100000 of the surplus in inventory
and some $2,OOO,OOO needed as a re-
volving, operating fund, it can be
seen that a real drive on road i'm
provement cannot be financed.
"The $4,5OO,OOO potential diversion
and the other two items bring the
maximum needed reserve to some 3d.
100000
"The unfortunate circumstances of
the constant threat of diversion stands
Between, the people of the State and
the use of three times $2000000 for
an important push toward better
roads,"

Cumberland County Case
Purely Local Fight,
Though, 1t Appears

Tn tho SIR Walter HOte

Raleigh, April 15.-If Judge Mar
shall Spears goes behind smoke
screen of technicalities and decides
the Cumberland mandamus case on
the merits of contentious presented
his ruling is likely to set standard
for the extent of the State Board Of
Elections power to exercise discretion
in appointing local election boards.
In the case w. G. Ewing, of Cum
berland, is seeking a writ of man
damus compelling the state board t.
name to the Cumberland board of
elections the two men recommended
by Democratic State Chairman Gregg
Cherry, who were recommended to
Cherry by the county Democratic ex-
ecutive committee with % Of its q
members present and agreeing unani-
mously upon the recommendations.
The State board named M. 3. Per
son one of the county board members
instead of accepting c. c. McAliste
recommended by the State chairman,
who submitted only two names III :.
stead of the three Which the election
law says he "shall have the right to
recommend
Counsel for Ewing contend that the
State board has no authority what
ever to name any one not recommend
by the State chairman and that an
purported selection contrary to this
rule is null and void.
Attorney General A. A. Seawell
(who made the point that the law
compels him to appear for any State
board made a defendanD maintained
that the election laws are intended to
confer upon the State Board of EleC-
tons a wholesome power of regula-
ton and supervision over county
board appointments. He argued that
if Chairman Cherry had sent in the
name of three men, as he had tn:
right to do, then the State board
could have exercised it's discretion on
ly to the extent of selecting two of.
these three. But, he contended, VIII er.
Cherry submitted only two names,
the state board than had full discr=-
ton to name any one it chose.
The whole question rises from local
factional fight in Cumberland whic..
finds Ewing on one side and George
Mcneil on the other.

today is to take a thorough inven-
tory Of recent laws, chop out the bad
parts, and keep the good. Throw away
the act aimed at changing huma Y
nature, and keep those designed to
strengthen human beings.
Instincts Cannot. Be Legislated.
There has been too much loose
thinking in connection with the ell
housed, ill-clothed, and ill-fedn These
unfortunate people never will be pro-
perly taken care of until we get dow1:
to fundamentals. Human nature can
not be outlawed or outmoded by the
waving of a wand. The world is still
ruled by the instinct to own and to
protect private property.
Moreover, the system of doing bust
ness for profit and loss" is inbred.
1t has been developing through thous-
ands of years. It can never be chang
ed overnight. Hence, I feel strongly
that the President should not now at
tempt another surgical operation, but
follow the best physicians by letting
Nature make the cure. He Should
start now by preaching some basic
economic truths.
Lest I be criticized as another
"kititzer," let me tell you what I
would do right now eff I were Presi
dent. I think the following moves
would cure the basic troubles which
are allowing people to starve in this
great land of plenty:
Stop "Price Freezing"
CD l would assure the nation free
market for labor and commodities.
All attempts to freeze" the price of
either market lead directly to more
unemployment This applies to labo-
unions, farm organizations and bust.
ness corporations. All forms of mono
poles add to joblessness. Hence, price
fixing of all kinds should be stampe1
out as harmful to the nation as Il
whole.
Politicians talk about -produc-
ton. It is true that an individual.
industry may get out of line by pro
'ducing too many goods at one time
There, however, can be no over-pro
duction in all industries. I won! !?

produced, is there more to divide. The

Fire Autos Cause Traffic Tieup on East Main

A chimney fire in the Garden the ater building was eXtinguished by firemen in a short time last night, but the convergence of apparatus on the scene tied up traffic in the sec- tion for some time. Two box alarms sounding at the same time brought the firemen to the building, which is at the intersection of East Main and Spring streets.
 Sparks were pouring from the chimney of the building, but the ac- tual fire was soon quelled as fire men poured water down the chim- ney. A large squad of police directed by Lieut.. James Mulville was kept busy re-routing traffic while firemen were at the scene and in untangling traffic snarls after the firemen left.
 .'Wo other alarms were answered yesterday. A rubbish fire in the rear of 61 Ward street was soon put out yesterday morning at o'clock, and a false alarm was rung in few minutes after o'clock last night from Ridge and Pleasant streets.
