A TEMPORARY PEACE

Peace has been maintained in Europe. but it is peace of a questionable kind It may be hoped that it is of a permanent nature, but the negotiations which have been reported in bringing it about hint strongly that it may be but temporary
 Czechosovakia has been forced to give freely, not only of it's land but of its national honor The same sore spots which have kept the countries of Central Europe at each others throats for centuries still remain Great Britain and France have moved themselves into questionable position of European dominance There appears to be little doubt that their accepted positions of holding the whip hand has been apprecably weakened At best they now, after 20 years of leadership only on equal footing with Germany and Italy. Another such emergency as the one through which Europe is now passing may find their sphere of influence narrowed to them selves alone.
 Throughout the biekerings Germany has persis- tenty moved into place in the On how much farther she wishes to go toward dominating Central Europe rests the question of peace abroad Many foreign observers express the belief that Htlers ulti- mate goal is complete annexation of Czechosovakia If this is true, threats will form cloud over Europe for years to come And with each new move Germany steps into better position to defy the and able to challenge any power which may stand in her way.
 While temporary peace has been maintained in Europe the picture is not pleasant one for future world security Squeezing the weak to pacify the strong is not conducive to harmonious relations. rather it tends to breed dssenson which can well lead to the sort of troubles and danger war which Europe is now going through.

VALUE OF GOLD TAX CASES

4 The mining industry will watch with a great deal of interest the of the first court actions brought oy the Territory to taxes under the 1887 gross tax law and the result probably will have a definite effect what the Legislature convenmg in January will do relative to the mining tax.
 The gross tax law passed by the Legislature levies a three percent the gross output of gold and platinum operations while the levy is against the net on other minerals thus raising the question of constitutionality based the principle of like tax on taxable sources of like nature. This point may be settled the which the Territory has now instituted
 Likewise there is considerable agitation for change in the gold tax law grounds that exemptions are not sufficiently high to protect the small operator It is claimed in that small operators are being penalized under the present act with tendency toward curbng development
 Without doubt these and many other points will be brought up when the Legislature starts three months hence Thus the actions brought by the Ter ritory will prove helpful in determining the con- stitutionality of the law itself clarifying disputed points and serving guidance for the lawmakers.

WARD-bRYANT FIGHT
MAY CO. INTO 194O
Speakership Contest, and
Even Senate Fight, May
Shape Governorship
Daily Dispatch Bureau.

Raleigh, March 5-The friendly con-
test between Craven's Libby Ward and
Durhams Victor Bryant for speaker
ship of the 1889 North Carolina
House is likely to carry over into the
gubernatorial campaign of 1910.
And, strange as it might seem, the
result of the current Reynolds VS..
Hancock Senate sweepstakes is likely
to get mixed up in the same cam
paign.
Neither Ward nor Bryant has indl-
Gated by word of mouth that he is at
all interested in the 1910 primaries as
a candidate for governor, but there
are better than clear indications that
both would be receptive to the idea
as what ambitious and capable young
err politician wouldn't?
It follows that the victor in the
speakership contest will have gained
more than a modicum of prestige and
will be in better position to encourage
a boom for himself as gubernatorial
aspirant two years from now.
At least this is the sort of talk that
is current among political wiseacres
here in the State capital; though
some go even further and aver that
there is really an understanding that
