Much opposition may possibly be encounter ed, partially due to that tendency of truculency. Ehringhaus Plans New Move To Lift State’s Finances (Continued from rage One.) plete success. But the few who know what the plan is are confident that it will not and cannot fail and that its consumation will not only chalk up a new Ehringhaus victory, but put North Carolina in the forefront of those S<ates that have put their fin ancial houses in order. Announcement of the success of this new plan and how it is expected to help both the State of North Carolina and every one in it, is expected any day. It is agreed that this plan could not even have been considerde if the General Assembly had not finally fcassed a revenue bill that will bal ance the budget beyond the shadow of a doubt. Many people still do not realize why it is so tremendously important for the State to have a balanced budget, and what the balancing of the budget has already meant to the State. But if the budget hal not been balanced., 1t is probable that most of the banks that are still open would either be closed now or be forced to close b) the end of the year. For almost all the ia the State own large blocs nf State bonds,. An estimate obtained tc4d£ from tho State Liu iking Do?. Power in Soviet » IB HHp m \' wk W' ' *1 >H/ Although he has kept beyond the beam of the international spotlight, Lazarus Kaganovieh, head of the Communist Committee for Moscow, is regarded as second only to Josef Stalin, the dictator, in the power he wields in Soviet Russia. Kagano vich was once a journeyman saddler. partment indicates that banks in the (State own not lass than $25,000,000 worth of State bonds at the present time. In addition there are about $2,- 000.000 worth of State bonds in the closed banks of the SUe. If the bud get had not been balanced, the value of these bonds would have depreciated to such an extent that many of the banks would have had to close, while the assets of the closed banks would have been still further depi-eciat^d. But since the budget was balanced two weeks ago, the: value of North Carolina bonds has been going up steadily, the average increase so far having been about 10 points On an investment of $25,000,000 this means a gain in value of $2,500,000. Thus the assets of the open banks in the State have increased fully $2,500,000 in value since the General Assembly passed the revenue bill balancing the budget. This also means that the past two weeks and that the depositors stand to ger $200,000 more than they would have if the budget had not been bal anced . All of this is also proving helpful | to business and industry: For if the assets of the open banks have in creased $2,500,000 in value on their North Carolina bonds alone, these banks thus have $2,500,000 more which they can lend out to business and in dustry. But officials .of the banking department point out that the rise in the stock market and the increase in values have literally added millions to the values of the assets in both open and closed banks within the past few weeks. This means in turn that the hanks that are open have more money to lend to business an dindustry- and individual's, arid that thfe closed banks are going to be able to pay much more to their depositors than at first seem ed likely. It is rumored that the plan upon which Governor Ehringhaus is work ing will probably send the price of North Carolina bonds still higher for ga.ns of from five to ten points more. If it does this, the assets of the banks and individuals who own these bonds will increase accordingly and more cash will be available for still more people. In that case, prosperity should at'-least be within hailing distance again;-''., v„ * Doughton To Plug , Holes In Tax Law (Continued from Page One.) for a long time in the Doughton nest.

Many of the offices in this department after the Governor does announce his ap pointment. NOTHING STARTLING. Nothing very startling is expected to be revealed in the report which vhich Commissioner of Banks Gur ney F. Hood is in process of getting up showing the cost of liquidating closed banks, and especially showing the fees paid to attorneys and ac count an's. But it is agreed here that Commissioner Hood made g. tremen dous political blunder when he at first rather curtly declined to give this in formation to the general assembly j when it, asked for it. The general as sembly felt as if Hood had told it that it was none of its .business what the fees being paid attorneys and ac countants amounted to and if it had been told to go to hades. As a result, the assembly then enacted a bill, in stead of passing a resolution, requir ing the Commissioner of Banks to furnish the information which it at first had only politely asked in the the form of a resolution. Incidentally, Hood seems to have round the money to- do this work, although his reason for not doing it before was that there were no funds available for it. LAWYERS WANT FEES. The decision to pass the bill to re quire Commissioner Hood to get up this information on the cost of bank liquidation was not entirely spon taneous. however. There is little doubt that it was inspired by and re ceived encouragement from a certain element within the ranks of both the lawyers and the accountants over the State. The fact that the North Caro lina Association of Accountants volun teered to get up the audit without charge showed that there was some particular interest in it from the standpoint of the accountants. The underlying facts in the case are that the lawyers were peeved because they/ believed that I. M. Baily of Raleigh Kenneth Royall of Goldsboro and Tom £L. Johnson of Asheville were getting the cream of the Banking Depart ment’s work and wanted to know how much these three lawyers were being paid. Tha accountants were sore be cause they thought too much of the accounting work was going to A. Lee Rawlings and Co., with home offices in Norfolk, Va. WON’T SHOW MUCH. But aside from showing what has actually been paid the various law yers employed by the banking depart ment and the various accountants em ployed and at what figures, the report •is not expected to show much else. 'lt is agreed however, that Hood's firs trefusal to get up this informa tion almost resulted in the abolition of his- job. GOVERNOR’S TACT. Old timers here are still marcelling at. the manner in which Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus has been getting what he wants and the ease with which he seems to overcome Yill op position. Close observers of his tactics attribute this to the excellent tact he uses in his contacts with every one, the natural persuasiveness of his rea soning, his sincerity and frankness and his magnetic personality. Wheth er they talk with him personally or in groups, they almost always leave the executive offices Ehringhaus boosters and convinced that he is sincere and that his program is sound. SOUGHT CONFIDENCE. An outstanding example of the Eh ringhaus tactfulness has just come to light, as employed while the general assembly was in session. It seems that in the original School Machinery Bill first proposed, the bill undertook to name the members of the State School Commission. Governor Ehringhaus heard of this and sent a representa tive to appear before the committee. Instead of saying that “the Governor is vigorously opposed to this and wants it left up to him to select the commission,” this representative told the committee: “The Governor would greatly appre ciate it if you would have sufficient Tuberculosis —Family Disease According to Case Histories By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D. UNDER THE title, “Tuberculosis —A Family Disease,” Dr. J. A. Myers has published Some interest ing observations in the Journal ©f Outdoor Life.

The mother refused to be examined, but the father was examined and found to be a case of ■open” tuberculosis. He had grown to adulthood without enough discom fort to cause him to consult a physician.

The list of names was stricken from the bill. The com mittee could, not be plced in a posi tion of not having confidence in the ability of the Governor to make his own appointments. CHILD LABOR HOPE From 1924, when the anti-child la bor constitutional amendment' was proposed, until 1933 only six states had ratified it. Since the nit has been ratified" by six more, presumably un der the depression’s influence. The amendment’s supporters who had near ly lost hope again are sanguine of its adoption. ■ _ — DIVERSIONS Most incomprehensible diversion to this reporter: watching wrestling matches.
