§ The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation !
WASHINGTON, D. C.
I SSOOO FOR'eACH 'SIpOSITOR SSOOO ||
The CITIZENS BANK AND TRUST CO., has received from the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation at Washington* the offi
cial signs which will hang at all receiving windows as visible evi
dence that the depositors of this institution are insured.
The CITIZENS BANK AND TRUST CO., is one of more than
14,000 licensed banks in the country which are receiving these
signs. Insured banks are able to offer protection to their deposi
tors up to $5,000. Statistical studies have shown that this maxi
mum, fully protects more than 97 per cent of all the depositors
in insured banks.
A statement by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation fol
lows :
“The purpose of the signs is to let depositors know which banks
are insured. Heretofore, although 90 per cent of the licensed
banks are insured, depositors have had no means of identifying
them.
“If, by any unforseen circumstance, an insured bank should su
spend, the Insurance Corporation would begin paying off the de
positors just as soon as a receiver was appointed for the closed
institution. The depositors would receive their money in a few
days instead of waiting months or years as was the case in the
former method of liquidation. This is not only a benefit to the
depositors, but it saves the community from a terrific economic
and social blow. When the depositors receive their insured ac
counts they assign their claims to the Insurance Corporation.
Therefore liquidation proceeds on a business-like basis with the
maximum chance of the Corporation and other creditors beint?

The Revised Constitution
By JAMES S. MANNING,
Former State Attorney General and Former
Member State Supreme Court
It is gratifying to know that the
changes proposed in the present Con
stitution of the State of North Caro
lina are receiving careful considera
tion. These changes appeal to the in
telligence, the honesty and the inte
grity of the voters of hte Stat. They
should be cnosidered calmly, care
fully, and to that consideration should
be brought the intelligent judgment
of our people.

HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1934.
. The three material changes pro
posed to be mad ein the constitution
are, first, in the taxation sections;
second in the limitation upon the is
suing bonds by the State, the coun
ties, cities and otwns, and third, the
conferring upon the governor the
veto power.
In discussing the first change the
opponents of the propohed constitu
tion declare in the matter of taxa
tion that the sky is the limit and that
it takes fro mthe people power to
govern themselves. It is impossible to
see how both of these statements can
be true, and an analysis will disclose
that neither is the fact. Instead of
power being taken from the people, a
greater responsibility is reposed in
them. The power to tax in a just and
euqitable manner is vested in the leg
islature of the state, whose members
are each wto yars selected by and
elected by the people of the state and
are directly responsible to them. In
my judgment a greater responsibility
is reposed in the people of the state.
They are invited in the most direct
way to govern themselves. They must
assume the responsibility of selecting
the men an delecting the men who
compose the legislature. The laws of
that body when assembled depend up
on the intelligence, the integrity and
the honesty of the members. If the
people of the stat select unfit men,
if they select dishonest men, then
people will suffer, but for two years
only. They have the unlimited power
to make another selection each two
years. What taxes the legislature will
impose under the provisions of the
proposed constitution must be deter
mined by the judgment of the mem
bers of the Senathe and the members
of the House, subject to the criticism
of the Governor of hte State and his
right to veto if he shall disapprove.
The state has been fortunate in my
judgment in the high character and
the intelligence of the men whom the
people have elevated to the office of
Govrnor. They have been “Tar Heels
born, and Tar Heels bred.” In my
recollection all of them have spent
their entire lives within the borders
of the state, in contact with the peo
ple from all sections of the state,
with a knowledge of the conditions
existing in every scetion of the state.
They have been loyal to the people of
the state; they have been loyal to the
upbuilding of the state. They have
done their best to carry on its pro
gram of achievement and upbuilding,
ihey have been men of high char
acter and intelligence, honest and sin
cere men, and have manifested the
sincere purpose to be alone that
which was best for the people of the
statefl. All of the states of the Union
nave entrusted their Governor with
/eto power save North Carolina The
people of the United States in fram
ing the Constitution of the United
States more hta none hundred and
fifyt years ago invested the President
with the power to veto. Its usefulness
has been many times attested, its wis
iom is generally admitted. It serves
to prevent pet schemes, ill considered
legislation, an dtp add to the acts of
he legislative body the wisdom, the
experience of the chief executive of
state. If all the other states do
rust their Governor, when has there
been any record of the Governors of
North Carolina that unfit them for
the exercise of this power?
The limit upon the power of the
Jebtedness of the State, the limtiation
legislature to increase the bonded in
jpon the power of county authorities
and city governing boards to increase
he bonded indebtedness of the coun
ties and the cities and towns of the
state in my judgment will be much
more effectual and will be more ef
ective than the limitations in the pre
sent constitution. 'Bonds’ issued by t.h'
State, bonds issued by the counties,
towns and cities must be padi by one
generation or another.
Every honest man expects to pay
and plans to pay and believes he can
oay his debts. The same spirit per
neates the new constitution. It con
ains the limitation that the bonded
increased and no new bonds can be
ndebtedness of the state cannot be
ssued except a certain percentage in
amount of what has been paid in the
preceeding biennium. New bonds of
the counties, cities and towns, except
for refunding purposes, in which the
debt is not increased, cannot be issued
except a given percentage of the deft
chat has been paid in the previous
year. In other words, neither the
bonded indebtedness of the state, nor
the bonded indebtedness of counties,
cities or towns can be increased. In
the old constitution, Article 7, Section
7, it is provided that no county, city,
*own or other municipal corporations
shall contract any dbet, pledge its
faith, or loan its erdeit, nor shall any
tax be levied or collected by any of
ficer of the same except for the nec
essary expenss thereof, unlss by vote
of a majority of the qualified voters
therein, and what was a necessary ex
pense was to be determined by the
courts. As a result of that a town and
city light system has been declared a
necessary expense, a water system, a
sewerage system, and street paving
have all been declared necessary ex
penses. It is remarkable that public
education was not declared a neces
sary expense. Under the proposed
constitution, regardless of what the
purpose, the bonded indebtedness can
no tbe increased, but must be con
stantly reduced, and the issuing of
new bonds cannot exceed one-half, as
to local municipalities, bv which the
indbetedness was reduced during the

Donald Reeves, young instructor,
i.s found shot to death in his office
on the campus of Center City uni
versity. Inspector Lee, working on
the case with his friend, Timothy
Blade, newspaper reporter, discovers
the gun that was beside the body,
found by the janitor, has disap
peared. Police find an attic room
showing sigi\s of inhabitance on the
third floor of the English House,
scene of the crime, after interview
ing Mrs. Reeves, the dead man’s
widow who insists her husband com
mitted suicide, Lee examins other
members of the English staff in
cluding Dr. Wilson, department head;
Dr. Henderson, Jamieson, Walker,
Miss Turner and Miss Edwards.
Lee and Blade find the gun that
killed Reeves, bearing Jamieson’s
initials, in the head of a mop belong
ing to Dan, the janitor. Back in
the strange attic room Lee comes
upon Dr. Henderson and Windsor
Hail who claims he is an insurance
investigator, representing a company
in which Reeves held a policy. The
reporter invades several spots in the
tough section of the city in search
of one Giovinni, an underworld ac
quaintance. Meantime Inspector Lee.
cross-examines Dan, the janitor, and
Jamieson, both now under arrest, as
Hail the investigator, looks on. Police
learn Dr. Henderson spent the eve
ning away from home, and bring
him to headquarters for questioning.
Henderson finally admits, sheepishly,
that he was at a burlesque show.
Then Blade arrives with Giovinni.
(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY J
CHAPTER 26
THE GANGSTER looked at Tim.
‘Come on and sit down,” Blade in
cited him. “Suppose the rest of us
sit down, too.” Lee resumed his seat
behind the desk, still watching the
Italian cautiously while Tim and
Hall settled down again in their old
positions.
“Suppose Giovinni goes to see
Reeves, not as he did, but prepared
for trouble, ready, if you choose, for
murder. Then he doesn’t go alone,
does he? In the best gangland man
ner, he takes along a bodyguard. At
the first sign of trouble. Reeves
■light have died but he would have
died from another gun besides
Jamieson’s. Can’t you eee it, inspec
tor?” His voice was earnest, im
pressive. “If Giovinni or any of his
men had killed Reeves, the weapon
cculd not have been the gun that
actually did kill him.”
“I’m not so sure, Tim. While you
wero gone tonight, Jamieson told us
he lent Reeves that gun. If he’s
telling the truth, maybe Reeves had
it because he knew Giovinni was
coming. Maybe he pulled it in the
middle of their talk and in the strug
gle he was shot.”
Tim Blade shook his head confi
dently. “I’m still sure I’m right, in
snector. If Reeves had pulled a gun,
he would have gone, down so fast

people. In regard to the State, the

of the people. What more effective j
limitations can b placed? What great- j
er power can be conferred upon the
peopl ein the management of their
own affairs?
Another incidental but important
provision of the proposed constotu
tion in the section forbidding and de
claring ineligible a member of the
legislature for appointment to an of- ]
fice created by that legislature. This
will eliminate self-serving from the |
deliberation of members of the legis- j
lature in the creation of new officers |
and new place sos trust. Who can
gainsay that htis is not wise?
There are some other minor chan
ges that I would like to discuss, such
as making the court scystem more
elastic and responsive to conditions
that may arise, but with the limits
permitted I forego for the present the
discussion of thes eother matters

htfrat he'd never Known what hit him.
And it wouldn't have been Jamieson’s
sun that got him.”
The inspector thought it over, his
hard blue eyes boring into Giovinni
until that gentleman stirred restless
ly. Tim watched him with obvious
anxiety. At last he turned to the re
porter and smiled. ”0. K. kid.
Maybe you’re right. But the thing
that gets me is what Giovinni and
Reeves couid have had to talk about,
how they ever could have known
each other. Was Reeves in the
racket ?”
Tim smiled, too. in relief. “Noth
ing as wild as that.” he said. ’’Gio
vinni hasn’t told me this yet. but
I’m sure I’m right. There was only
one thing they had in common, only
one subject about which they could
talk. Have you forgotten that young
Giovinni was a student of Reeves
last semester?’’ He turned his head
slightly. “Right. Giovinni?’’
The gangster nodded. “O. K.” he
said.
“Well, if all that’s settled let’s get
on to what happened last night.”
Tim went on. Lee pulled out one of
his notebooks. "IVhat time were you
supposed to see Reeves. Giovinni?”
“He said I should be there at ten
thirty. 1 get there about 10 minutes
early.” His voice was reluctant,
hard.
“Did you see anyone else when you
went in?”
“Yeah, a woman. She leaves when
I go in.”
“Did Reeves come down to open
the door for you ?”
“Maw, the door was open. It was
hot.”
Tim nodded. He proceeded cau
tiously, feeling his way. “If you
went on up alone, you must have
known where Reeves’ office was.
You must have been there before.”
Giovinni grunted assent.
“That’s natural, of course. Your
son had been a student of Reeves
since last September, and parents
have a habit of calling on their kids’
teachers. But there are two things
I wish you’d explain for me. Gio
vinni.” Tim’s voice was friendly,
winning. “Why would you go to see
a teacher at ten-thirty at night?
And why go to see Reeves at all
when since February the boy had
been in someone else’s class?”
Giovinni looked up in alarm but
Tim was smiling guilelessly. “I
have business with him.” he said
stubbornly.
“Os course. I know that.” Tim said
moving impatiently. “But that’s
what has got me stumped. What
sort of business could it be?’’ His
silence was an invitation which the
gangster refused.
Tim began again. “Your son had
some trouble in Reeves’ class in
September, didn't he? Seems to me
I heard something about his having
difficulty making his grades.”
Reluctantly Giovinni admitted It.
“You’re pretty proud of the kid,
.aren’t you? Nice kid and all that.”
For the first time the man dropped
his guard. An expression of real
feeling swept over his face. “He’s a
good kid,” he said definitely. “He

1 sides in the dispute in an address
here before the Chapel Hill Rotary
Club.
I “The methods used by the flying
(squadrons have done more than any
j thing else to alienate the sympathy
jof the people for the strikers,’’ Dr.
Wolf said.
Stating that there are a lot of dif
ferent angles to the dispute, the fun
damental issues involved seem to
hinge on Section 7A of the National
Recovery Act, the clauses that per
tain to collective bargaining and
I union recognition, Dr. Wolf said.
Os a total of 4,277 industrial dis
putes in the nation last year, the first.
I year under the NRA, 2,448 were the
'direct result of Section 7A, Dr. Wolf
said. »
ber of industrial disputes occurred in
1919, when there were 3,630, involv
ing four and a half million workers
as compared with 4,277 last year, in
volving a million and a half .he said.
“TJhe cotton (textile industry was
the first to adopt a code of fair com
petition that was approved, and this
code put 100,000 people bac kto work
and raised wages. Since then rising
prices and the introduction of more
labor-saving mcahinery have contri
buted to the causes of industrial un
rest.
I Dr. Wolf said he did not belieev the

Textile Workers, when they met in
New York in convention session in
August .were in favo rof calling a j

the demands of teh rank and file”. |

“That’s what I thought." said Tim.
“And when he got into difficulty in
his English class, you went to talk
to Reeves last September. Isn’t that
it?"
Giovinni nodded, still relaxed a lit
tle. Besides, he thought, this guy.
Blade—he’s a pretty good kid. Talked
back to the cops like nobody’s busi
ness. He looked at Tim slyly.
“And after you talked to him. tIM
boy began getting pretty good grade#
and he kept it up till he got into the
other class this semester.” Confiden
tially Tim leaned toward the man.
"What did you tell him?"
“I just tell him who I am.” sai4
the thick-necked man. smiling bland
ly. The reporter nodded casually aa
if he wasn’t particularly surprised.
“Now I’m beginning to get it.” he
went on. “In February the kid goes
into another class and his grades go
bad again. You drop in to seo
Reeves and tell him again who yo*
are. He insists he can’t do anything
about it now. that the other teacher
won’t pay any attention to him.
Right?”
"Su re."
“What was the name of this new
teacher —Henderson? Why didn't
you go to see Henderson?"
The great face broke into a sly
grin. “I saw him. but I don’t tell
him anything. He wouldn’t of cared
who I was. So T go back to Reeves
but I don’t tell him I’ve seen Hen
derson.”
“You mean last night you went
back to Reeves?” Tim asked.
“Yeah, I go back. He’s sitting
there working. I tell him how l
think to make Tony a doctor maybe,
and hove he has to get good marks
on those papers or he can’t he no
doctor. And I tell him how 1 want
him to be a big man more than any
thing else in the world.” There was
a note in the voice which seemed to
make the words believable. “Then
I leave."
"When was that, Giovlnnt?” asked
Blade.
“Just about quarter to 11. I leave
him then, with his face down on his
desk.” He chuckled.
The reporter slid down wearily
from the desk. “That’s nH. Lee.”
“O. K„ kid.” Lee closed his note
book and rose. “I’ll take this out to
a stenographer and get it typed so
you can sign it,” he said to Giovinni*
civilly enough.
But Giovinni had risen, also, all
the wariness which he had almost
forgotten while talking to Blade
again apparent. “I don’t sign noth
ing,” he said flatly. And he started
toward the door.
Lee moved to intercept him, but
Tim. lighting a cigaret, called. “Let
him go, Lee. What’s the difference?”
His voice sounded tired. Lee. sur
prised. stood still and Giovinni was
gone.
“All his statement tells us.” Tim
went on. “is that we’re all wrong
about Jamieson and Mrs. Reeves
and that we have to begin all over
again. We can probably remember
that without a signed statement,” he
concluded grimly.
