Lions Top M. P/s 8-6 To Clinch City League Pennant
Lions Victory Removes
Last Chance Os Baracas
“McGraw” Bunn Is
Complete Master of
Losers But Mates
Give Poor Support
“McGraw” Bunn, skipper of the
Lions, pitched his team to an b to 6
victory over the second place M. P.!
Baracas yesterday afternoon at Lea-,
gue Park, removing any numerical
chance the M. P.’s had of displacing
the Civic Club team from the top 01
the loop, the post they have held the
.majority of the season, and gave his
team the pennant for ’934. I
The Lions and the M. P’s will play
a three game series to determine the
Champions of the league probably the
latter part of next week.
Bunn, who has played practically
all positions on his team, took over
the hurling duties in the last regul
arly scheduled game of his aggrega
tion, and limited the heavy hitting
Sunday school team to four scattered
safeties. Errors by his mates and his
own wildness in one inning gave the
losers most of their tallies.
Four hits andtwo stolen bases in
the second inning gave the Lions a
three run start. They added anothe?
in the third on a double by Dodd, a
passed ball and a fly to center. The
losers tied the count in this frame on
two hits, two errors, hit batsman, a
walk and a fielder’s choice. The Liona
forged ahead in the fourth with three
runs and stayed there the remainder
of the contest.
Kelly, Dodd and J. Mills led the
Lions batting attack on Big Ed i
Branch with two hits eacn. Only two
Lions did not hit safely as least once.
The .four hits off the losers were
scattered among as many players.

Aluminum Plant
Given Slash In
Its Valuations
Daily Dispatch llureau,
in the Sir Waiter Hotel,
Raleigh, Aug. 8. —Carolina Alumi
num Company, of Montgomery coun
ty, got its 10 per cent real estate re
duction, but the Southern States Pow
er Company, of Cherokee, lost its pro
test before the State Board of Assess
ments this week.
Th? Carolina Aluminum Company
has real estate in abundance. The
Montgomery commissioners had reluo
ed all the real estate in Ellorado town
ship, Montgomery county, 10 per cent
I and there was an average reduction in
! real estate in other townships of that
j county exceeding 10 per cent, bui
there was no reduction in the evi
dence presnted before the board, ap
plying to the Aluminum Company’s
real estate. “After giving full consid
eration to the evidence presented,”
i the board writes, “it is the opinion of
the State Board of Assessmnt that a
i reduction of of, 10 per cent should ap
ply on all the real property of the
Carolina Aluminum Company in El
lorado township in Montgomery
county, including its hydro-electric
plant." This was ordered to apply to
the assessment of 1933.
The Cherokee county corporation
had harder lines. The board of as
sessment does not think that these
propertis were assesses at higher rate,
with relation to actual market values,
than other lands in Cherokee. The
appeal of the company is therefore
dismissed and the local rate laid upon
the property must be paid.

Asked by detectives what th three

“They were trying to find out if 1

Mrs. McPherson had any. I told them
my people didn’t, and I didn’t know

May Be Stationary in Two
Decades; Would Pro
long Depression
By CHARLES pT STEWART
Washington, Aug. 17. (CP) —The
rapidly declining growth in America’s
population is a consideration whch a
few economists in Washington are
fearful President Roosevelt has neg
lected to take into account in con
nection with his programs c?i vast an
velopment in such regions as the
Tennessee valley and the far north
west. r
For some time experts like Prof.
O. E. .Baker of the agriculture dr*
partment’s research division have
been raising the point:
“Who is to utilize these new oppor
tunities as they are opened up?"
In an era when immigrants were
pouring constantly into the country
and large families were the rule no
question of this oort presented isetlf.
Today, however, while a decline has
not actually set in, the rate of in
crease is dwindling fast and Professoi
Baker (backed by many actuarial sta
tistics) makes the prediction that na
tional population will t;e stationary
I within two decades. Then, argues the
i professor, if there is an increase in
some one particular area, it will fol
low that some other area .will have to
be correspondingly depleted.
* * *
Senator Henrik Shipstead of Min
nesota has reasoned persistently, in
agrement with Professor Baker, that
the depression is, in considerable
part, due to the shutting off of im
migration and the consequent retard
ing of population’s growth in a coun
try industrially geared up to meet the
requirements of a swiftly increasing
number of inhabitants.
Chairman Samuel Dic«wstein of the
House of Representatives’ committee
on immigration likewise has mpha
sized again and again, “Labor forgets
that an immigrant, though a produ
ce/, and thus in competition with
workers we already have here, is a
consumer, too; and may also have de
pendents, who are consumers 100 per
cent.”
Monsignor John A. Ryan, director
of the social action department of the
National Catholis Welfare council and
one of America’s foremost economists,
in warning against an attempt to con
centrate taxation upon iland, says:
“With a population approaching the
static, the soil is losing its «-<ilue; it
is doubtful that taxes leved on It,
: alone, would support the government"
Professor Baker arrives at the con
clusion, “A statibnary population im
plies the necessity for a complete re
adjustment of our society and econo
mics. We no longer are a people
adapted to expansion and enterprise.
We gravitate into an old man’s coun
try, which may do very well, but is
quite a different thing from what We
have had".
Thief Nabbed and
Is Prosecuted By
Three Negro Boys
Willie Neal, colored, who stole a
suitcase of clothing from a passenger
near the railroad station a few days
ago, was rounded up by three Negro
bos, who brought him to Sheriff J. E.
Hamlett and then prosecuted him be
fore Recorder R. E. Clements in
county court. Neal got 18 months on
the roads. The boys were allowed to
prov etheir a tendance to get witness
fees as compensation for their assist
ance to the officers. They were Rufus
Chavis, Daniel Taborn and Joseph
Hayes.
Marvin Ross, white man, was be
fore the court on a charge of failing
to comply with a former court order
that he provide for his wife. Prayer
for judgment was continued by the
.recorder until next Saturday.

This particular communication’s
author manifestly Is optimistic, yet
is slightly afrad that improvement
will be overly rapid to be the average

In other words she is fearful that
a speedy revival would result in the
equally speedy abandonment eof the
effort to prevent a succeeding slump
a few years hence —tha* the depres

and consequently that the task of cor

woulid be forgotten almost as im

NRA, as everyone probably knows,

If NRA is extinguished, will its
extinction have a discouraging psy

as ever, but, with NRA to reckon
with, they find it difficult to chisel.
NRA ibeing eliminated, it is a reason

sume chiseling directly. Thereupon
unemployment would in«. cease more
or less, naturally. Increasing unem
ployment could not but have a bad
psychological effect, in additin to its
actual bad effect.

but some would be lost, cer

measure and were it not for his life
long repuptation for disdaining to be
, political-minded, he might be suspect
ed of office aerations in his violent
onslaughts upon this constitution.
, Nobody about Raleigh ever thought
Governor Ehringhaus could possibly
have ans political thoughts in sup
i porting the constitution. It has as yet
shown no sign of becoming a great
cause. The unreasoning hostility m
it is cumulative, it is inarticulate ex
ppression of resentment toward some
thing “that comes out of Raleieh ”
George Ross Pou was a victim of it
and his supporters did not iealiz e i
until he was beaten. The new consti
tution in addition to bearing that can
ital odiu mis being mixed up with
other “interests,” but the general im
pression here in Raleigh is that Bin
Business will more frequently fear
than favor this draft.
Governor Ehringhaus has shown
mighty little inclination to prolong
his political career. If he is running
for the United States Senate he is
letting none of his friends know it
If he means to try his hand he is •
lowing a lot of his old supporters talk
about him and converse him out of
the race.
At any rate, Governor Ehringhaus,
in the view of most of his Raleigh
friends, will not use the new constitu
tion for a boost. To be sure, the luck
less 1294 campaign for port terminals
conducted by Governor Cam Morri
son was interpreted at that time to
be his great move toward the Senate
The failure did not kill interest in
port terminals and the state will have
a big one. Nor did it hurt Mr. Morri
son for the senate, because Governor
Gardner who fought “the fantastic
fleet' had his chance and named Mr
Morrison for the first senatorial va
cancy that occurred. Favoring the
new constitution may in another bien
nium be a great talking point.
