Restraints
Upon Rates
Dissolved

Fayetteville, April 21.-(AP)-Su-
perior Court Judge @. K. Nimocks,
Jr., dissolved today an order tenn
porarily restraining the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway Company and
receivers for the Seaboard Air Line
Railway from reducing rates on
kerosene and gasoline shipments out
of Wilmington to other North Caro-
lima points.
The restraining order was issued
some time ago upon petition of the
City Of Fayetteville and Cumberland
county officials, who alleged the pro-
posed reduced rates would be dis
criminatory because no such reduc-
tons were proposed for shipments
out of Fayetteville, a terminal of the
Cape Fear waterway.
Judge Nimocks sustained a con-
tention of the railway attorneys in
arguments yesterday that the lain
tiffs should seek relief through the
State Utilities Commission and should
exhaust this relief before bringing
an action in court Of equity.

Graham, April 21.-(AP)-With
George Smiths turning of States
evidence against his three fellow de-
fendants-on trial here for first de-
gree murder in the fatal shooting of
two officers last December 7 in Bur-
lington-hailed by the State as its
coup d'etat, attorneys on both sides
in the case of Smith, Roy Kelly,
Wade and Ralph Hanford began adj
dresses to the jury today.
The State permitted Smith to
change his plea to second degree
murder before becoming a States
witness. Smiths statement yesterday
involved the two Hanfords as the
two men actually in the filling sta
tion with Roy Huffman, escaped
convict, during the robbery which re-
suited in the death by gunfirc of
Huffman, Sheriff Robertson and
Burlington Police Officer S. w.
Vaughan. Smith testified he and
Kelly waited outside in separate cars
and had no part in the killings.
Wade Hanford, Smith related, shot
three times from the floor as a
tusilade of shots, purporte6ly from
Hmiman's pistol, felled Robertson
and Vaughan before Huffman him
self fell, MORALLY wounded by bull
Jet from the gun of Officer F.. B.
Balliff, lone survivor among the Of
Ulcers of the gun duel. Previously all
evidence had indicated Huffman was
the only one of the bandits TO fire on

Babson Hints That May Explain Much of War

Out for 1910; Discusses Leading Candidates

Roosevelt took office six years ago.
Millions of Americans voted for
Roosevelt in 1882 because they be-
lieved change in administration
would solve unemployment. Millions
more voted for him in 1896 because
more people had jobs than in 1882.
Since then unemployment has be-
come bad again. What the voters did
last fall is a preview of what will
happen in 1910 unless jobs greatly
increase.
Democrats Badly Split
Will possible business boom and
big gain in employment help Pres
ident Roosevelt if he runs in 1910?
The answer is: eyes, but it will not
heal the split in the Democratic
party" The New Dealers and the
"old line' Democrats are at swords
points. The gap between them is far
wider than the average voter realizes.

London, April 21-(AP)- Soviet
Russia has proposed resurrection of
the Anglo-French Russian triple en-
tente of the World War, a highly
authoritive souce said today, as a
bulWark against possible future ag-
gression by Germany, Italy or Japan.
Such a recommendation of flat re-
clprocal military alliance was said to
nave been made by Foreign Com
missar Litvinoff to Sir William Seeds,
British ambassador in Moscow.
Both Britain and France, this in
formant said, have the proposal un-
der serious consideration. No official
indication was given of the Anglo
French reply, but Britain, although
favoring less binding agreement,
was believed to be ready to accept
such a military alliance rather than
lose Russia's support.

Soviet Russia had demanded the full
military support of Britain and
France in return for her cooperation
in the Anglo-French front.

IS IMITATION POSSIBLE
IN THE UNITED STATES?
(Wall Street Journal)

Doctor Mordecai Ezekiel, economic ad
wiser to the Department of Agriculture,
told the Economic Conference for Engin-
GERS on Saturday, last, that there was
much nonsense talked about initiation of
prices. He described the United States
as a "S100,000,000 country running at a
S65, 900 900 level" and said that so long
as we are operating below full employ
ment and full use of resources there is
no danger of price initiation from pres
ent methods of public financing
Regarded from a purely mechanical
point of view Dr. EzekiePs statement is
correct. Price initiation begins when there
is competitive bidding for limited sup
ply of either labor or material. Currency
initiation begins when a government is
bidder and can no longer raise money
by taxes or by borrowig-yet must, or
thinks it must have labor or material or
both. The printing press is then the only
recourse. In either case the initiation eX-
propriates all creditors in direct proper
tion to its intensity-and it is we'll to
remember that all wage-earners insur-
ance policyholders and savings bank de-
positors are creditors" in respect of
price initiation.
1t is, however, question whether the
purely mechanical aspect of the matter
exhausts the possibility of danger of IN
flation. Suppose productive capacity to
be actually inhibited by psychological
cause-a lack of confidence on the part
of those whose capital and plant are part
of the country's equipment. That plant
is withdrawn from actual productivity.
And suppose that the effect of the gov
ernments attempt to substitute itself
and its resources for those of private
enterprise continues to inhibit-perhaps
even progressively diminishes-that con-
fidence and we have situation in which
we progressively approach a condition of
state capitalism: Are we sure that under
such conditions government can tax and
borrow to the extent that it needs? And
if not what recourse is left to it but cur
rency infation-for instance, borrowing
from the Federal Reserve System against
its obligations.
Is such situation mpossibe-grant-
ed that it is at present improbable?
