COUNTY FIGHTS To
KEEP LIQUOR CASH
Opposed to Splitting Fund
With City; County Asks
No Bills

Vance's board of county commits
SiOners does not take kindly to re-
solutions recently adopted by the
Henderson City Council asking for
a division of the county-OWned Ii
quor store profits, and members Of
the board of commissioners are on
record as, opposed to the project,
Chairman S. b. Rogers said today.
Moreover, Mr.. Rogers said his
board contemplated at this time no
legislation TO be asked OF the cur
rent session, of the General Assem-
bly,, and ne knew OF no bills that
would be requested Of Representa-
1--WE w. A. Hunt.
The chairman said he had figures
to back the stand taken by the cOun-
ty board, showing that residents of
the city receive full benefit from the
liquor profits in their application to
reduce taxes of the county. He did
not think the argument that city
police afford protection to the whis-
ky store was a very strong conten-
ton in favor of turning over the
money to the city.
No announcement has been made
lately as to what recent profits of
the store have been. Sales in 1888
were less, however, than for 1887,
and, in view of that fact, together
with a State grab from the receipts,
the net earnings Of the county from
the ABC establishment may not be
as large for last year as the year
before.
The store was opened in July,
1885, and has been in operation for
nearly four years. 1t has turned
much net cash into the county cof-
fers, and much of that has been
used to buy in unmatured bonds, the
reduction in debt service costs in
this respect being reflected in low
cred tax rates.
The resolution adopted by the City
Council asking a split in the liquor
money were sent to Mr.. Hunt and
also to Senator Frank Gibbs, of the
Vance-Warren senatorial district.
Senator Gibbs wrote an acknow-
Judgement Of the resolutions and
promised to confer with Mr.. Hunt
on the subject, giving the matter
due consideration"

bombardment inside Hong Kong, an
outpost of the empire the rearma-
ment program is designed to keep
intact.
The British government pushed a
new foreign policy slOgan-"peace
through trade"-intended to aug
ment in some measure at least Pre-
mjcr Chamberlain's program of APP
peasement.
Chamberlain had still hoped to
achieve European settlements by
peaceful bargaining with the dicta-
tors. But it was apparent that the
British foreign policy was setting
out on a new track. The announce
ment that Britain was dispatching
representatives to open trade talks
with Soviet Russia and Germany
was regarded as significant indi-
cation Of a realignment Of foreign
policy.
Talks in both capitals, especially
in Moscow, may lead to closer
diplomatic understanding. The sur
prise business approach to Russia
conceded with reports that Britain
was seeking closer political relations
with the communist power, and
that Chamberlain had decided the
best way to advance his appease-
ment policy was through a general
economic Improvement.

brotherhoods are not allied with the
A. F. of l.. They are friendly to it,
and always have been, but they

that they are outright anti-C. I. o.
The fact remains that their organ,
Labor has plugged INCREASINGLY
for Rooseveltianism ever since "F'.
D. came into Office-and before that
when he was presidential candi-
date the first time.
Until just now!
Today, on the McNanamy issue,
it's fighting mad" at him.
Frank McNanamy's Record.
Frank McNanamy is a practical
working railroadman-a member of
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen.
1t always tacitly has been recog-
nized that at least one of his ilk was
entitled to a place on the l. c. c. The
commission was created in President
Theodore Roosevelt's era. AS the
practical member" Teddy" ap-
pointed President E. E. Clark of the
Order of Railway Conductors.
ThenceforWard there never has been
an interval without working rail-
roader in office.
McNanamy graduated into his com
missionership in 1928 He previously
mad held important subordinate posts
n the set-up.
Recently his current term waxed
toward its close.
A committee of the Railway La
Dor Executives Association called
on President Roosevelt to equest his
reappointment The committeeman
included President David B. Robert
son of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen, President
George M. Harrison of the Railway
Clerks and President R. M. Jewell of
the Railway Employees Department
"a distinguished group.
According to Labor" these call
ers "came away with the impression
that McNanamy would remain for
a long, long time, and that, when a
Silcl1SC Weto SOIlCCIllElldCGO, CIlc CIIlSlS
of the standard railroad labor or
CARNATIONS would be consulted"
Instead of which, without a pre-
liminary hint, the job went to J
Hayden Alldredge of Alabama, a t
V. A. official, and McNanamy goes
overheard
No especial fault is found with
Alldredge. He has a reputation as a
rate specialist and a "transporta-
ton expert" But he is a theorist. He
never has worked on a railroad
Neither has any other member OF
the commission, heretofore. McNana-
my is a practical veteran
Angry; Also Puzzled.
Labor" not only is angry; it is
puzzled.
The administration is liberal, and
SO is McManamy. AS a worker, his
record is highly creditable. 1t is as
clean as a hounds tooth. The only
count against him, possibly, is that
he is nearly SO years old.
Well, anyway, "F. D." has angered
some erstwhile friends, the railroad
workers.

Support 0verton
Fiscal Formula
William A. DuvuII
Elected President
Of Association

The Overton fiscal relations bill
received unanimous backing by the
Fort Davis Citizens Association,
which met last night in the South
east Branch Library.
Terming the bill the most equi-
table proposal that has been offered
to the District since the 60-40 ratio
was in effect, William A. Duvall, who
was elected president of the group
last night, declared the bill COM
mendable means Of meeting in
creased expenses affecting the local
taxpayer. He said the Overton plan
Is logical in view of the constantly
increasing number of Government
buildings and properties which pro-
portionately reduce the amount of
taxable properties of the District.
Would Extend Housing Loans.
The association urged that the
bill to extend Federal housing loans
in the District from next July for
another year be supported through
out the city. The group favored
especially the provisions for de-
creased down payments for houses
under the $5,400 valuation class and
increased time limit to Is years in
which to complete payments.
Opposition was voted to any form
Of District sales tax, members
scoring such a levy as a nuisance
and an added burden on persons in
the lower income bracket.
After a discussion, the plan for
Government operation of liquor dis
pensaries In the District was re-
ferred to the Executive Committee
for further study and a report at
the next meeting.
