RADIO ROARS AGAINST
THE WEATHER

Every morning the radio broad
casters deliver Orations about bad
weather. and they keep It up through
all the day and far into the night.
To make their stories interesting
they dig up distant cases of bad wea-
ther. as If to prove a case for the
United States Weather Bureau. AS a
matter of fact an analysis of the
had" weather of 1899 shows It has
been "a nice winter" in nearly ev-
cry part of the United States. de-
spite all the dirt that has flowed
from the voices of radio broadcas-
ters.

IN APPRECIATION.

Il cannot say, and 1 will not say
That she is dead-she is just away,
With a CHEEKY smile and wave of the
hand
She has wandered into an unknown
land
And left us dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be since she fingers
And you-oh! you who the widest
year
For the old time step and the glad
return,
Think of her faring Oh as dear
In the love of There as in the love Of
Here"
Many of us, recalling our own moth
er5 of sainted memory, take cheer and
comfort from these sympathetic lines
CT James Whitcomb Riley; we hope
that our friend and fellow class mem
Der, Mrs. j. G. Mann, finds such com
fort as she waves a sad farewell to
her own dear mother, who of a sud-
Gen slipped away into the Great Be
yond on December 20, 1888. So alert
and alive was Mrs. Maggie Umstcad
alive in the spirit world, where now
she is unfettered by the things of the
earth, so that her gracious influence
may and will go on in the lives of
those who knew and loved her here
Mrs. Umstead was a member. of the
First Methodist Church here since
coming to the city from Durham
county sixteen years ago. She was a
faithful member in every sense of tie
word, giving willingly and gladly of
her time, talents, and means to all
the church's interests. The Whitmore
Wesley Bible class, to which she be-
longed all these years, honors itself
ir. paying loving tribute to her lovely
Christian character; to her loyalty to
all the activities of the class; AMI to
the gracious influence of her consis-
tent life. We sorrow with her daush-
ter and family, but not as those who
have no hope. For we believe and
know that her Redeemer liveth and
that she has but entered into the
Larger Life with Him.

It took into account cost of construc
ton and maintenance, depreciation of
replacement, and a reasonable divi-
dend to the State. Upon that basis it
was found that certain franchise
trucks were paying only bout one
third what they should pay for use
of the roads,
If such survey is anticipated in
North Carolina, there has been moth
ing said to indicate it. For that mat
ter, no advance indication had been
given that any sort of bus investiga-
ton was contemplated. Bus people are
trying to find out if the railroads,
either the management or the labor
brotherhoods, inspired the thought.
The bus lines contend that they are
already paying more than their just
share of taxes. An instance was cited
last night to bolster this contention
On the occasion of the recent Rose
Bowl football game at Pasadena one
line proposed to operate a special
through bus from Raleigh. 1t was dis
covered that the total taxes which
"OUAO nave " Do pdlQ TO the several
states traversed would total more
than $1,000. In addition to that, two
states required the posting of $500
cash bond upon entering the State to
be refunded only after the trip was
completed and all vehicular laws com
piled with. This meant an immediate
cash outlay by the bus company Of
$o,3OO since the $500 had to be put I'D
on entering the State from either side
and taxes had to be paid at once. II
the bus had carried a capacity load
at regular rates the income from the
trip would have amounted to about
1880. The bus line abandoned the
idea. But it and other bus lines have
not abandoned the fight for relief
from what they feel is too heavy
taxes. Nor will they sit by and per-
NIT an Investigation" of their bust
ness without including in the probe
all other forms of motor vehicles.
Any full investigation of the mat
ter will involve also the collateral
questions of license plate rates, in
crease or reduction of the gasoline
tax, diversion of highway funds, etc.
Almost certainly it will bring into
the picture the powerful railroad
brotherhoods lobby.
