(Read Psalm 26:1, 2,4, 5 8)
Tests for Selfl-Testing
It is better to ask to beexamined
than to have judgment thrust upon
us. How else shall we discover our
weakness and short comings and learn
!how to do better? So the twenty-six
Psalm suggests great tests which, if
we can pas®, assure us of Divine ap
proval: gratitude to Godi, for His lav
ing kindness, to begin wilth; then the
love of truth and then the company
we keep. These are simple tests but
•they go deep When the goodnss of
the Lord is always before our eyes,
we shall be both humble and prasie
ful. Those who love truth will main
tain an integrity of mind and motive.
And since a man is| known by the
company he keeps, those who have
, no fellowship with the false or the
wicked will be fit for the fellowship
of the saints.
Prayer: Grant unto us. O Lord, that
knowledge of ourselves wEtihout which
we ca nneither rightly repent nor seek
to amend our lives. Illuminate for us
the ways of life and the beaulty of
charaoter by which we may so judge
ourselves that we m|ay not too great
ly fear Thy judgment of us. May
we offer ourselves wholly and without
any fear to the searching of Tihy love,
humbly accepting Thy rebukes and'
seeking only to be what Thou wouldst
have us be. In His name Who knew
what Wlaa in the hearts of men and
knowing still loved them. Amen.

“Dinner at Eight” Is a good, bostof

have dinner at eight and 1 get there on

being perfected for climbing over seat,

rise.
Meanwhile resaUnaetfig hostesses
have devised a plan to meet the dis
inclination of guests for dining at 7
p. m., which, in this ward, is equiv

Now theatre parties gulp a cocktail

I know a dramatic crtiltic who has

M’FADOEN FORESAW
CRISIS FOR BARKS
But Pennsylvania Congress
man Was Jeered In House,
Then Muzzled
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer
Washington, March 16. —Well, Am
erica has had its banking crisis, and
how the story of it can be written.
It can be written no more accurate
ly than it was foretold by Congress
man Louis T. McFadden of Pennsyl
vania three years ago. But McFadden
not only could persaude no one to lis
ten to him, he was muzzled!
He had been recognized as a finan
cial authority in first class standing;
Was chairman, at the time, of the
House of Representatives’ Committee
on Banking and Currency; a welcome
contributor, on fiscal subjects, to the
country’s foremost peiodicals—but he
(had the temerity to picture the trend
Os course the great interests he at
tacked were furious-
The Pennsylvanian had hi 3 resour
ces at stake then in a prosperous fur-
Initure factory in his home town of
Canton, Pa. The concern went on the
!f : <nanciai rock:\ (immediately. “It
cleaned me,” McFadden says simply.
But he repeated his warning.
He had, as a witness before his
committee, the chairman of the Na
tional City bank of New York, Char
les E. Mitchell. Much more recent
testimony of Mitchell in answer to
Senatorial grilling (too late to avert
the catastrophe) forced his resigna
tion from his various Wall Street
posts. But when McFadden originally
had Mitchell before the committee, in
terference by his associates blocked
answer to every significant question
hut by their chairman.
Reports that McFadden had suffer
ed a mental collapse were circulated
throughout the Capitol.
He was jeered when he arose to
speak in the House of Representa
tives, and ruled out of order when he
persisted- H:'s demands for an inves
tigation were quietly pigeonholed.
Conservatives and ultra-progressives
joined hands in an effort t,o defeat his
|his renomination in his -fifteenth Pen
nsylvania district.
All this pressure failed to stop him.
He was gaged personally just be
fore the crisis stryqk. He .told; me,
“I have a message of transcendent
im*or£&nce to the country, and they
wop’L let me deliver it.”
NEW YORK THINKS
INFLATION AVERTED
Unbalanced Budget Much
More Dangerous; Big
Accounts Spurned
Cea<ra! Press Staff Writer
New York, March 16. —Even New
York bankers smile over the seating
of an “ex-convict” in lhe national
(House of Representatives. For ba it
■known that Francis H. Shoemaker,
congressman-at-large from Minnesota
served a term in Leavenworth peni
tentiary for calling a banker a “rob
ber of orphans and widows”. Shoe
maker, editor o fa country newspaper,
made the social error of addressing
is. etter to the banker in that manner
instead of saying it to his face or
exclaiming in a stump speech. A fed
eral judge decreed, a year ago, that
’.Shoemaker had to serve a year and a
do.y for sending “scurrilous’ libelous
and defamatory matter” through the
.mails. ,
Some bankers are saying that Re
presentative Shoemaker’s remarks are
mild to a few choice remarks they
have heard. A year makes consider
able difference. At any rate, Shoe
maker, Farmer-Laborite, is such a
hero that he won a majority of 317,-
000 votes.
** * *
NO INFLATION.
, Wall Street believes that President
Rosevelt and William H. Woodin, sec
iretary of the treasury, will keep such
a strict control that there will be no
inflation, , .... . "
For one thing, mere winding up of
weak banks will throw so many se
curities on the market as to weigh it
down.
And large carry-over surpluses of
grains are looked upon as holding
down grain prices.
Wtetll Street terms an unbalanced
budget as more dangerous inflation
than any new currency issue.
The new currency merely serves as
a medium of exchange in putting into
circulation immobilized, or frozen as-j
sets.
* * *
BIG ACCOUNTS SPURNED
Bank accounts of large corporations
may go begging hereafter.
Colonel Leonard P. Ayres, noted
bai.k economist, explains why:
“It would be an over-statement, but
one containing much essential truth,
to say that the treasurers of the na
tional corporations transferred bank
balances out of the interior to New
York (in their fright) until they
closed down the banks of the Interior
cities for normal functioning; and
then hurriedly transferred funds out
cf New York and back to the in
terior until they closed down the New
York banks.”

Taxpayers League There
)Wrlte Pointedly to Their
Representatives
Pinehurst, M<ardh 16 —Senators
Henry L. Ingram and Ryan Mcßride
and Representative Angus B. Cam
eron wthio represent Moore County in
the General Assembly have received
identical Itters from the Moore Coun
ty Taxpayers League protesting
against the sales tax wlhiicih Governor
Ehringihaus, in his message of March
13th, urged the legislature to adopt.
The text of the letters is as follows:}
Pinehurst, N. C., March 14, 1933.
I feel that I am warranted in say
ing that the message of March 13th
from. Governor Ehringihlaus to the
General Assembly is a shocking (Dis
appointment to most the taxpayers of
Moore County.
On February 27th there was deliv
ered! to you- a petition signed by 2807
taxpayers of Moore County praying
for a reduction of taxes.
On March 2nd about two thousand'
representative citizens from all over
the State met in Raleigh in support
of a resolution that the budget be bal
anced by a redaction of expenses and
not by the imposition of new taxes.
Many of your attended
this meeting ' : ; .
In our notional affairs the presi
dent —declaring that the present em
ergency is equivalent in its seriousness
to the invasion of our soil by an
enemy army—has demanded extraor
dinary powers to enable him to re
duce drastically the cost of govern
ment.
It can not,, therefore, be anything
less than a shock to th© people of
this counity to learn that our Govern
or—utterly disregarding the procla
mation of the President of the United
States and the prayers of the people
of the State —demfcmds that our leg
islature imposed a tremendous new;
tax on the poverty Stricken farmery
and on the paralyzed industries of
North Carolina. <!
dm his message Governor Bhring
hous has begged the legislature not
to crucify our governmental institu
tions. ;
In the name of* the taxpayers of
Mlaore County I beg you to use the
powers of your office ; to prevent the
crucifixion of the people and the in
dulsurles of this State. 11
Your constituents in Moore County
will be grateful if you will advise them
through me, of your proposed action.
Faithfully yours, ''
Jesse W. Page,
Chairman of the- Executive

Commenting- on this letter, Mr. Eld

“Those taxpayers Who . feel that Mir.

It is high time that the various coun

WHIPPING POST IS
LOST IN ASSEMBLY
But Increasing Population of Prisons
Cct.itinues To Worry This
Legislature . ;
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
BY J. r. BASKERVILI..
Raleigh, March 16. —The problem of
over-population at State’s Prison and |
the prison camps has been a constant
worry to the General Assembly since
it convened, and lately the suggestion
has been heard on several sides that
the whipping post might be brought
into use to make rime unpopular.
'However, the group which is advocast
ing this as a solution constitutes a
small minority, and there is no chance
of such legislation getting through
the present General/ ac
cording to informed opinion here.
Such a recourse is, of course, op
/posed by welfare and other interests,
who point out that North Carolina
took a great stride forward when it
abolished the county chaingang sys
tem—a thing that has brought much
unfavorable publicity to certain other
states —and put the county roads un
der State supervision. Nevertheless,
despite this overwhelming sentiment
against corporal punishment, there
have been two serious attempts with
in the past few days to get such leg
islation enacted.

ELIMINATIONS FOR
DEBATES TO START
Chapel Hill, March 56—Entrans in the
21st annual State High School Debat
ing Contest will begin preliminary
-competition March 31 in preparation
for the final debates to be held at
the University April 13 and 14. The
•Winning team will be awarded the
Aycock Memorial Cup. \
The suhject for debate this year is
Resolyed: That North Carolina should
adopt the sales tax as a feafciijre of its
system of revenue.

the State government. The big fight
that is impending in the upper house
is over the form of sales tax that
iehal‘l be adopted.
Concentrate on House.
WhMe the opponents of all forms of
a sales tax, including the North Car
olina Merchants Association, are con
ceding nothing, and still predict that
the General Assembly will never en
•aet a sales tax, their powerful lobby
-herd has given up hope of trying to
organise the Senate against sales tax
legislation, and is concentrating on
the House of Representatives, where
the opposition to a sales tax is much
stronger.
This is exactly the reverse of the
line-up in 1931, when the merchants,
lobby concentrated on the Senate, and
Jet the House members alone- This
isessiop.; this bulk of anti-sales tax -or
ganization has - gone on in the lower
branch, and little attention is being
ipaid to the Seriate. *
The comment of various members of
the Senate on the governor’s Special
message showed that it is overwhelm
ingly back of his program. Among
those who expressed their endorse
ment of virtually everything the gov
ernor had to say were such recogniz
ed leaders in the Senate as Senators
Moore, Mac/Lean, Bailey, Hill and
Hinsdale. Senator Clement, who will
, -fight to get his production tax bill
through this General Assembly in lieu
of either form of sales tax, also ap
proved of most of the governor’s re
commendations.
The opposition to the program of
an eight months term and a sales tax
is negligible. The fight against this
program will be made chiefly, it is
now indicated, by Senator Gwyn, of
Rockingham, who holds that a sales
tax is not necessary, and by a few of
the senators rrom the eastern agri
cultural counties who are unaletr
ably against putting the tax burden
on “the little man” or the ‘‘honey
handed sons of toil,” which they claim
that a sales tax will do.
This group, while they are not par
ticularly favorable to either a general
sales tax or a selected commodity tax
such as will be pushed by Senator
Hinsdale, look less bitterly upon a se
-lected commodity tax, if there are no
“necessities” included in the bill.
The merchants, too, while they are
fighting both forms of sales tax, pre-

have a sales tax, since they can pass
this easily on to the consumer.
However, the tobacco interests are
ligainst this sort of tax, as figures
from other states which have adopt
ed such a method of taxation show
irrefutably that it cuts down tobacco
consumption materially, and the to
bacco people protest that North Caro
lina should be the last State in the
Union to tax what is its principal in
dustry. There is a large bloc in the
Senate which will fight the Hinsdale
hill to the hitter end.
Senate Deadlock Possible.
Those who favor a general sales tax
(are conceded to have a slight major
ity in the upper house, but a coalition
of those who opose both forms of
rales tax and those who are not will
ing to accept anything but the luxury
tax might easily bring the Senate to
a deadlock such as confronted it in
1931, it is now generally admitted.
