Railroads Debate Topic
For Schools This Year

Chapel Hill, Nov. 1.-THE question
as to whether the government should
own and operate the railroads will
be discussed by hundreds of North
Carolina high school debates in their
spring debates Of the present scho-
lastic year
This was indicated here today in
the announcement that the following
query had been selected for this
years contest of the High School De-
batting Union of North Carolina:
"Resolved, That the federal govern
ment should own and operate the
railroads."
The schools which enroll in the
High School Debating Union will
participate in a Statewide triangular
series of debates. Schools winning
both triangular contests will send
their teams to Chapel Hill to COM
pete in the final contest for the
AycOck Cup. All schools of second
airy nature are invited to enter
Approximately 35 State high
school debating leagues will discuss
the same question in their contests
next spring.
For the assistance debaters in pre-

on both sides of the question and

These sources do not go so far out
on a limb as to say he actually will
run, they only contend that he is
earnestly investigating the posi-
bilities and is a likely contender.
Should this come to pass, the
eighth district situation, which is al
ready complicated enough, will be
something in the nature of confusion
worse confounded, particularly if as
is expected Mr.. Burgin runs to sue
coed himself
With Burgin and Lambeth both
running from Davidson, it would
seem that a third candidate from
some other bailiWick would have
something Of the inside track; fact
which makes the Lambeth candidacy
unless Burgin is eliminated as a con-
tender, sound rather unlikely The

Raleigh, Nov. 15.-Commissioner
of Labor Forrest Shuford is in Wash
ington this week for the annual
conference of labor officials from all
over the country, conference und-
er the direct auspices Of the Federal
| Department Of Labor.
That over, the North Carolina
commissioner is expected to remain
in the national capital for a day or
so talking over details Of the recent
agreement under which the Federal
Wage-hour law will be enforced by
State inspectors.
The Division Of Highway safety
reports a marked Improvement in
the reporting of accidents by high
way patrolmen, sheriffs, city police
and other peace officers all over the
State
For October practically 1000 ac-
cidents reports were received by the
division, figure far above any ever
before attained in the State.
Division officials estimate, how
ever, that even SO only about one
out Of every three accidents is actual
ly reported as required by law.
1t is pointed out that North Caro-
lima has been reporting only about
5000 a year, while in Virginia re-
ports are made annually of about
10000 accidents, and nobody be-
lieves there are two and half times
as many crashes in the Old Dominion
as in North Carolina.
Incidently, reports for October in
dictate that there will be shown a
reduction in automobile fatalities
for the month, though by no means
startling or sensational one.

ASSESSORS HONOR
SYSTEM ASSAHED
JUDGE JOHN A. MATTHEWS AT
TACKS RESULTS IN ADDRESS
TO COMMISSIONERS
Practice Of Accepting Valuations Given
by Property Owners without Investi-
CATION Decried as Unfair In Many
Cases Says Board Member.

County assessors were assailed
for general and expensive indiffer-
ence by John A. Matthews of the
state board of equalization in an
address before the state conven-
ton of the Montana Association OF
County Commissioners at Kalispell
The purpose of the state board OF
equalization, he said, as a super
visory board, is to seek the ideal
wherein every resident pays his just
proportion Of the cost Of government.
It Is apparent, he said, that If one
person pays less than his share, others
must pay more; likewise delinquency
on the part Of one resident or one
group results in an injustice to all the
others.
Much Of this injustice he laid square,
~ at the door of the county assessors
of Montana most Of whom accept the
valuations given them by the property
owners on a so-called honor" system
and suggested that much good could
be accomplished II the assessors would
do an occasional bit of investigating.
In support of his argument he told
Of a little investigation made by Sam
GOA of the board Of equalization. Coca
looked into the assessments of II
prominent Helena men, IL Of them
state officials, all drawing between
IS 900 and $500 a year. He found a
12-room home, luxuriously furnished.
valued at 81 $50: another Just a little
smaller valued at 81 $50; a 7-room
house valued at $3.50; a 5-room house
valued at $3.50 The figures included
the automobiles which these gentlemen
we're driving, Matthews said
Household goods, he said, were only
one example OF the more fragrant type
Of oversight Livestock and mining ma
chinery tax abuses have become motor
ious, he declared. A little closer atten-
ton to these and similar items by the
assessors, Matthews said, would do
much TO counteract the shrinkage In
land values and equalize the tax bur-
den.
The commissioners approved a reso-
luton at the closing of the annual con-
yention fayoring the sales tax for sup
port of schools In lieu of the ad valorem
tax which they said did not equalize
the burden of educational cost.
Other resolutions recommended legis-
ation to require three years residence
