Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERlLL.

Raleigh, July l2.-Raleigh's Anne
rican Legion post has dropped plans
to conduct a campaign designed to
give the city an iron lung" to be
used in combating possible infantile
paralysis epidcmics or for any sort
of hospital cases requiring an artifl-
Cial reSpirator.
Opposition Of Rex Hospital OFF,
Gals and Raleigh doctors seems to
have been the primary cause for
abandonment Of the drive. In scores
of other cities the medical profession
has coopcrated heartily with the Lee
gion, or with other civic clubs, in
iron lung campaigns, but from the
very time it was preached Raleigh's
mcdicoS gave clear indications they
were against it.
Their position apparently is that
the Raleigh hospital needs other

ACCIDENTS ON FARMS
SLICE FARM PROFITS

Farming is work. The farmer must
work hard for every dollar he earns
but every year, with hardly mur-
muir, he regularly pours one-tenth of
all he earns down sink hole"
In 1888, the last year for which
figures are available, the American
farmer poured more money down
this hole than he received in gov
eminent payment.
Gradually increasing each year, the
American farmers losses in this way
reached the astounding total of an
estimated billion dollars in 1888. TIE
total of government payments that
year was 1907 100000.
This sink hole, according to 1vey
w. Day. Vance County Supervisor for
Farm Security Administration is the
farm accident. In 1888, more than
400 farmers lost their lives in &C
cidents, and several hundred thous-
and others on farms were injured.
Farm fires, machinery accidents,
falls, rural highway accidents and a
thousand other types of miShaps have
taken their toll.
Savings have been wiped out.

farms, children nav elost opportuni-

Mr.. Day said the Conference, COM
posed of representatives Of various
branches Of the government as well
as educators and indusTialists, is
promoting a broad educational pro-
gram to reduce farm accidents. Sen
ator Arthur Capper Of Kansas is

Governor Clyde Hoey probably
will be unable to attend, but North
Carolina will almost certainly be
represented at the Governors Con-
ference slated for Mobile, Alabama,
on July 20, 80 and 81.
One of the primary discussions will
be elimination Of existing trade bar
riers between states. Adoption, or
recommendation at least, Of uniform
laws governing size and weight Of
trucks, reciprocity in recognizing
tags of other states and, in general,
better cooperation of Southern
states in highway laws and regula-
tons will be discussed.
Headed by the Highway Users
Conference, organizations opposed to
diversion Of highway funds are con-
Quoting a systematic campaign in
preparation for activities Of the
General Assembly session that opens

It seems rather unlikely that there
will be any strong effort for adop-
ton Of an anti-diversion amendment
to the state constitution; but there
is sure to be a powerful drive to re-
move from the existing revenue act
its provision for so-called "contin-
gent diversion.

campaign as being opposed to diver

A Docs Life

Posted in the municipal building
at Franklin, Pa, is the following
notice: 'The law requires that all
dogs be licensed Police are hereby
notified to shoot all dogs found run
ming loose without licenses. This also
applies to constables."
Quite a furor has been created
in the ranks of constables, who feel
that there is something radically
wrong with the edict. Even their
hereditary enemy, the speeding mo-
torist, has rallied to their defense
and consider it unsporting to shoot
unlicensed constables. The phrase
ology is vague, in that it not only
fails to specify if, or where, the con-
stable must display his license, but
even what type of license is neces-
sary. Some constables, veterans of
matrimony, feel that, having led a
dogs life for years, their marriage
licenses should count. But there is
no certainty that they do. 1t is
hoped that no policeman will shoot
a constable as test case. A better
method would be to fire the printer
and get one with an elementary
knowledge of syntax.

U. S. Pay VS.. Toxes

Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau gave the Senate Finance Com
rmlttee sound advice when he urged
1t not to place "a disproportionat
part OF the cost of our national
defense program upon Federal en-
-ployes by reducing their salaries"
a" The committee is believed to be
considering seriously an amendment
by Senator Byrd of Virginia to direct
the President to cut ten per cent
from the total of non-defense appro-
priations for the coming fiscal year,
and make this saving available for
defense requirements along with the
Increased taxes. Without committing
himself to definite percentage, Mr..
Morgenthau favored cutting other
expenditures wherever feasible" but
not indiscriminately.
In opposing salary cuts, the Secre-
tary very properly pointed out that
the Federal employe, like every one
:, else, will make an increased tax con-
tribution, according to ability to pay,
under the revised income tax plan.
reduction in Government salaries
as part of the defense financing bill
would, therefore, be tantamount to
singing out this group of workers
and calling on them to pay still
another taxa pay roll tax.
In its present form the Byrd
amendment does not mention SAL
aries, and the Senator said officials
have Informed him his amendment
could be carried out by not filling
vacancies, although furlough periods
would be a possibility
Mr.. Morgenthau also pointed out
IN his testimony that many Govern
ment employees are already making
an extra contribution in the form of
added hours of work without pay.
A separate bill already passed by
the House to speed up the Navys
shipbuilding program authorizes a
lengthening of the work week from
forty to forty-eight hours on the
naval program, provided time and a
half is paid for the overtime. Con-
gress would be in an inconsistent
and contradictory position, if, in the
wake Of this measure, it took steps
to redrce Government salaries
generally.

Restored CunuI

Announcement of the early COM
pletion of the restoration project
along historic Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal-the whole section between
Georgetown and Seneca is expected
to be ready for traffic within two
months = raises several important
questions of policy which have not
yet been decided by the parks office.
When the Federal Government
purchased the canal last year, it was
intended to restore the old water
route to its original condition. If
that were done the area would be-
come one of the finest examples of
what the famous eastern woodland
area of primeval America was like.
The locks and their keepers cottages
add a touch of the quaint early
American scene, while the towpath
offers one of the most unusual walk
ing routes in the country. Last year
some consideration was given the
possibility of establishing parallel BIZ
cycle and bride paths and also of
operating weekend excursions on
mule-draWn restorations of the origi-
nal barges with overnight stops at
Great Falls Tavern. These ideas,
however, have not been developed.
But, as the date for opening the
waterway to the public nears, a new
suggestion has been made. This is
to permit motorboats to enter the
canal from the river at Georgetown
