GAINESVILLE, Ga, Mar. %.
(UP)-President Roosevelt in his
first major address in nearly
three months today blamed the
"selfishness" Of a few citizens for
rctarding national progress and
prosperity.
Asserting there is still too lit
tie consideration for one-third of
the population which is "ill-fed,
lll-clad. and ill-housed," he said
that those who believed in such
feudalism as the best system were
leaning toward FasciSm.
"When. you come down to 1t,
there's little difference between
feudal and Fascist systems. If
you believe in one you lean to-
ward the other" he said, calling
for higher wages in the south to
provide adequate purchasing pow
er, abolition of Especial privilege
and the participation in prosper
ity by the people at the bottom
of the ladder.
To congress that has not been
enthusiastic about passing his leg
islative program, there was a
warning that he has not given
up the fight for social and eco
nomic reforms.
He denounced legislators vot-
ing against better social and eco,
nomic conditions and then fat
utterly to offer better methods OF
their own"
He added, "thiS nation vii!

KIWANIS HEARS REFORM FOR
MAGISTRATES COURTS URGED
Constitutional Amendment Is Fundamental Need in
Dealing With Situation, M. F. Toms Says

Only an amendment to the
North Carolina constitution and a
legislative act limiting the number
of justices of the peace in each
township or county and placing
them on a salary instead of fee
basis will remedy the "deplorable'
condition into which this depart
ment of the states judicial system
has fallen, M. F. Toms, Hender-
sonville attorney, asserted yester-
day as he addressed fellow men,
bers of the Kiwanis club.
Pointing out that justices OF the
peace, or magistrates, are paid
one-half of court costs and wit
ness fees, and then only if the de-
PENDANT is convicted or bound
over to a higher court for prob
able cause, Mr.. Toms said that
many magistrates are making a
"racket" of their offices, and that
the temptation to "err against
justice" should be removed at the
insistence of the North Carolina
Bar association and the public at
large.

plan of remunerating magistrates

DIR. D.B. MARTIN
PASSES AWAY.
in 18th YEAR
Funeral Will Be Here To-
morrow; Interment
in Michigan
DEATH ENDS DECLINE
OF MORE THAN YEAR

DR.. Daniel B. Martin of Hen
Jacksonville, died last night in
Duke hospital, Durham, in his
10th year.
The body, accompanied by Mrs
H. NJ. Baker, daughter of the de-
ceased, will arrive tomorrow
morning and will be taken to
Shepherds funeral home, where
it will remain until the funeral
service at the First Baptist
church at 3 o'clock. From there
the body will be taken to Hills
dale, Mich, for interment.
DR.. Martin had been in fail,
ing health for a year or more and
was advised few days ago by
his physician to go to Duke hos
pital for an operation, which was
set for Monday. The family was
advised yesterday morning that
the hospital authorities didn't
think he had any hope Of recov-
cry.
Surviving are his wife, whose
residence is on Florida avenue,
Mrs. H. NJ. Baker, who accompan-
led him to the hospital, and her
two sons, Jack and Harvey Baker.
The Mems Bible class of which
he was a member and the board
of deacons of the First Baptist
church will serve as honorary
pallbearers.
DR.. Martin was born August 5,
1860, in Fredonia, Pa. He follow
ed the trade of carpenter and
cabinet worker and among the
articles that show his finer touch
is a wooden clock which he made,
and which has remained in his
possession as a good timekeeper.
After marrying Miss Cora Nc
Combs SO years ago he entered
college and prepared for the min
istry, graduating from Hillsdale
college, Michigan, and following
his trade while in college.
DR.. Martins pastorates were in
various places but that to which
he most frequently made refer
ence was the college pastorate at
Hillsdale. He was once pastor at
Marion, O., and the late President
Warren G. Harding was one of his
members.
DR.. and Mrs. Martin had only
two children, Mrs. Baker, and
Miss Zatella, Martin, who died as
student of art and music in
Italy.
The remains will lie in the ceme-
terry at Hillsdale, where several
years ago he purchased lot and
where about two years ago he is
understood to have erected a
marker to designate his last rest
ing place.
DR.. Martin was highly esteem
ed by those who cultivated his
acquaintance during his residence
here of about ID years. He was
very faithful in services and reg
ular attendance at the First Bap-
fist church, where he was popular
as a Sunday school teacher and
where he often filled the pulpit
in the absence of four pastors
during his residence here.
