Others will be re-settled in the South.
New capital will be on the lookout for
the most congenial industrial atmo-
spheres in which to locate these new
enterprises.
North Carolina is greatly in need of
such new industries, the wealth they
can bring with them, the wealth they
will create wherever they 90.
This State needs the new job oppor-
tunities that would be created by these
Investments Of new capital.
This question, therefore, must be ex
amined from the approach Of the dam
aging effect our present taxation
policies are now having upon the poten-
tial industrial expansion of North Caro-
lima, but also in the light of their harm
fitness upon the States industrial
future.
The present taxation system Of the
State is not only a positive deterrent
to Its industrial development, but an
lnsuperable barrier to such deyelop-
ment.
1t North Carolina has everything else
that 1t takes-to become an industrial
emplre-and admittedly it has, why
should it continue to tolerate a taxation
policy that tends to neutralize all At
these other natural and Astounding
advantages?

SERVICE TEAMS CLASH IS
PROPOSED AS WAR
BOND BENEFIT

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 10
(Ry-The Navy's best service
team VS.. the Army's No. club
in a post season war bond bene-
fit game
That's the proposal made to-
day by Hal MiddlesWorth, sports
editor Of the Daily Oklahoman,
in his column, Ion the level"
MiddlesWorth suggested that
the game be played in the Los
Angeles coliseum, and predicted
that a game between, say, the
undcfeated Norman, Okla, Navy
Zoomers and March Field would
fetch several million dollars in
bonds.
He thought the game should

Randolph Field Second Air
Force or the Third Air Force
as Army possibilities.
The Norman Navy Zoomers
haven't received much national
publicity this year, but they've
zoomed by six teams to remain
undefeated.
Coached by 1t. Comdr. Johnny

BALTIMORE, Nov. 16 - up
- With devastating Army
eleven just over the horizon, the
Navy sails into what midship-
man coach Comdr. Oscar Hag-
berg believes will be its hardest
game TO date Saturday at the
Baltimore stadium against Pur-
due.
And Hagberg may be right,
for the powerful boilermakers
have exhibited one Of the sea-
sons better ground games. Led
by fullback Boris (Babe) Dim
ancheff, big ten conference
high point scorer and ground
gamer deluxe, Purdue has rolled
up impressive yardage with its
distinctive type of modified "T'
formation.
Navy is counting upon its
rock-like forward wall to halt
the Purdue ground game, but
the question is how the Annapo-
lis eleven plans to get the bail
into payoff territory.
Football fans are wondering
whether the Navy'S passing
game-uSed little in its victories
of the last three weeks over
Pennsylvania, Notre Dame and
Cornell-Will be needed again
Saturday or whether the tar
team will continue 10 rely on the
running of Bob Jenkins, Clyde
Scott and the numerous other
overland gamers Of its back
field.
The midshipmen tried but
nine heaves in defeating Notrc
Dame and relied almost wholly
on their running game last week
against Cornell.

Hal Hamberg, has recovered
from from injuries that have
kept him out Of most Of the ac-
ton of recent weeks, and prob
ably will be in there tossing the

Michigan needs to win from
both Wisconsin and Ohio State
to grab top honors in the 1914

The Wolverines, with the con-
ferences most effective running
game, have averaged 289 yards
on the ground for five big ter

believe Michigan will desert its
running attack as the chief
weapon against the Badgers,
especially since Wisconsin has
the lightest line the Wolverines
have faced this season.
Today's drill constituted

running strategy and defensive
