VOL. XLYII Governor May Favor Sec'y of Commerce and Manufactnres - _____ i / If Legislature Favors Idea, Will be Addi tion to Governor's "Cabinet"—Organ ized Labor Divided on Sec. Com. and M£rs.—Legislators Plan ning Hold Off Work Till ? After 'Holidays. NORTH CAROLINA HAS BEST ROADS ♦ v In Score of Southern States, Says Pathfinders— % Volstead Law Ties Up * Property. (By Maxwell Gorman.) Raleigh, Aug. 16. —If the prop osition (said to be favored by the Governor) to create the State office of Secretary of Commerce and Manufactures should meet with favor by the Legislature, it begins to look more and more like the State Corporation Com mission will eventually be divest ed of its powers to function to any considerable degree, but the "suggestion" has not been adopt ed by the law-making body yet, nor is there any urgent argument presented that the Governor is entirely "set" in that direction. There are several views advanc ed at the initial stage of the idea, and purely as a matter of how some look at it, the following quotation is presented as being turned out this week from anoth er source, and to which no sug gestion of endorsement is given by this reproduction of it in part. Outside View of the Labor Convention. A correspondent in Raleigh, with no connection with the State labor organization, for instance, sends out this statement: "Organized labor, or a part of it anyway, is not in sympathy with the gubernatorial suggestion of a secretary of commerce and manufacturing in North Carolina as an addition to the Morrison 'cabinet,' some leaders said today. "Labor is less in a position to day to speak with one mind than it has been in live years, but that part of it which hopes for the best and expects the State federation to tunction politically as the bal ance of power between the two wings of Democracy fears the creation of a State office for stimu lating industry. "Leaders here who attended the High Point meeting are not in accord with all that meeting ac complished. They came back dis satisfied with the apparent over throw of the conservatives and are naturally in no frame of mind to receive any suggestion which by any means could be turned into an attempt to break the back of unionism in North Carolina. That, they fear, would become a part of the program of a secretary of commerce and manufacturing. Not that they believe Governor Morrison, who received the loyal support of organized labor in bis! primary campaign, would bo a party to any. insidious attack on organized labor. * » • * ♦ "Various and sundry members of the present legislature are cor responding with one another in an effort to hold off the work of the special session until after the holidays, should Governor Mor rison stick to the December 6 date Axed in his recent statement. "They woold come here and adjourn from day to day nntill a THE ALAMANCE GLEANER wiek before Christain and then go home. In that time (hey could possibly mend the munici pal finance act but half of the members have other things to do. The y are all interested iu the State's taxation program and when it comes to bonding the $700,000 school deficit the solons are going to have something more than a holiday row. They want to begin with the New Year and begin 'right." But the. reader needn't take this kind of prattle too seriously. There is entirely too much of this kind of "news" being sent out off and on and later on it will.be seen that there has been little to really base such gossip on. Volstead taw Liens Tie Up Property. Liens against real estate to satisfy taxes"levied by the United States government under the Vol stead prohibition enforcement law have become sufficiently - numer ous in North Carolina to give ap prehension to insurance com panies and other large money lenders in the State. I Although Bailey, collector or internal revenue, has been en joined by Judge Henry C. Connor of the Eastern District and Judge James *E. Boyd of the Western District, from selling the property ; to meet the liens, the question of | the validity of Buch liens has not ! yet been passed upon by the United States Supreme Conrtaud until a decision is reached by .the highest court, the property is praetioally useless to its owner, either, for purpose of sale or as collateral for a loan. In the meantime the Treasury Department has remained firm in its position that the liens are valid aud that the high penalties im posed by the Volsteaii act are col lectable, and has instructed Col lector Bailey to continue to im pose taxes where it is reported that anyone has engaged in the manufacture of whiskey and to levy upon the property of the party in question in case of fail ure to pay the tax. At the peseut time there are apparently farms in North Caro lina and the number is expected to be greatly increased with the resumption of activities of Fed eral prohibition agents in the State. Very few cases have been reported since the agents in the State were "laid" in May, but it is expected that the recent ap pointment of R. A. Kohloss, of Salisbury, as chier agent in the' State, will be followed by tbe se lection of deputies with the re sult that the "nsw broom sweeps clean." Best Arrange Roads In S. C. Blazing a trail from Los Ange les* Cal., to New York, abd doubling back over the Northern Route to the Pacific coast, Doug las C. Rhodes and C. W. Lewis, representing the Automobile Club of Southern California ar rived in Raleigh. Nearly 5,000 l miles Of travel wa*i behind them, % GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY.

North Carolina has the best average roads of any of the score of Southern States the pathfind ers have crossed daring the three months they have been away 1 from Los Angeles, Mr. Lewis said yesterday. While here they call ed on Highway Commissioner Frank Page, and other State offi cials. They left daring the af ternoon for Richmond, Washing ton and New York. They expect to be back at home before late fall. The Woodrow Wilson Foundation. The purpose of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, recently or ganized as a tribute to the for mer President, have been defi nitely defined by Farnklin D. Roosevelt, Chairman of the Na tional Foundation Committee, together with the terms of awards as follows: , "Created by public subscrip tion in recognition of the nation al and international services of Woodrow Wilson, twice President of the United States, who fur thered the cause, of human free dom and was instrumental in pointing out eifqptive methods for the co-operation of the liber al forces of mankind throughout the world. "The award or awards from the income of the foundation will be made from time to time by a na tionally constituted committee to the individual or group that has rendered, within a specified per iod, meritorious service to demo cracy, public welfare, liberal thought or peae through jus tree." The Woodrow Wilson Fouudrf 1 - tion is non-partisan; in fact, a non-political organization, and will endeavor to raise tsl,oCo,Ooo, upon which to base awards. The appeal for funds is to be made to all admirers of the former Presi dent, Democrats, Republicans and independents. , , Cleveland 11. Dodge is Chair man of the Executive Committee ami Hamilton Holt, editor of the New York Independent, is Exec utive Director. The headquar ters of the Woodrow Wilson Foun dation are at No. 150 Nassau Street, New York City. Further State Inspection of Hotels I and Restaurants. Raleigh, Aug. —During the past two weeks hotels and res taurants have been inspected by representatives of the State Board of Health in a territory extending from Edenton in the east to Murphy in the extreme west. The ratings achieved by the various places are made pub lic in V statement issued by the State Hoard of Health today. tinder 'the inspection law as enacted by the last legislature it is a misdemeanor for any hotel or restaurant coming within the provision* of the law to contin ue operation provided 'a score of less than seveuty points is made. In administering the law Mr. H. E. Miller, chief of the bureau of engineering and inspection and having direct responsibility flo the enforcement of this law, states that in all cases where a score of less than seventy points is made on firt>r, inspection au op portunity will be given Jor the owners or proprietors to make the necessary changes for the sanitary operation of their places and a re-inspection made. Where the required improvements are not promptly made to Comply with the law the places will be closed. * In the list of places inspected and scored made public today division is made of restaurants, ■Hotels, and hotels with rooms on ly. In this connection it is stat ed thafr'ib the list made public a few days ago an unfortunate transposition was made. The Rosemont Hotel at Fayetteville should have bepn credited with a score of 91 and the Rosemont Cafe with a score of 75.7. Track For Hire.
