Kerr, congressional representative of the second North Carolina district, addressed a well attended joint meeting of the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs at the Community house dining hall here Friday night. "The Republicans," he said, "ere- ' ated a false idea when they tried to make the country think the Democrats are incompetent from a business standpoint to manage the affairs of the government. Nothing could be further from the truth, ' for the fact is, in every great crisis in the United States, it has been ' the Democrats who pulled us ? through. And now in Washington we have a business administration ; which has made remarkable prog- ' ress toward getting us out of the ' mess the Republicans got us into." The speaker declared that a survey of the 400 largest industries in : the country?industries with aggregate capital of $19,000,000,000? , showed a net income of $59,000,000 t in a yearly period ending April 1, ^ 1933, and that this income repre- j sented less than one-fourth of one per cent on the amount invested. c Another survey, he said, showed J that the same industries on April 1, 1934, had an income of $589,000,000 1 for the yearly period?more than ' ten times as much profit as the previous year and approximately . four per cent on the investment. 1 s In the last 18 months, accord- j ing to the speaker, stocks have in- , creased more than 18 per cent in J value and in the last 12 months, ^ bonds have increased 75 per cent. J The costs of living have gone up six t per cent in the last six months but payrolls have gone up 66 per cent, he said. t "There is no reason for alarm over the indebtedness of the country," said Judge Kerr. "The credit of the United States is as good if e not better than it has ever been rj and provisions have been made for e repaying a $11,000,000,000 deficit in j 35 years." t Speaking of the cotton and to- r bacco situation in the South, the i speaker declared that "we must f learn that we've got to restrict our c production to home consumption j rtra ViOV/5 1 Acf A1ir CTrPPf. for- c UCVAUOb Y*B 1??IV <UUV wm o->/?? c eign markets as a result of the ] (Continued from Page 6) I . 1 ?

"tpf \ Mfl|T OF THE NEWS |fjjfb-L THE TIME NUMBER 34 COUNTYTAXRATE SET ATJ8 CENT'S Commissioner* Adopt Tentative Budget In Session Here Monday $450 FOR THE LIBRARY Meeting in special session on Monday, the Board of County Commis sioners adopted a tentative Ductget calling for a total general tax levy of 68 cents on the $100 valuation, passed upon the school budget, agreed to make an annual donation of $450 for the Warren County Memorial Library, and ordered members of the Warren County Medical Society to conduct a campaign against typhoid fever and diphtheria. The rate of 68 cents is two cents higher than the levy for the past year. This was brought about by the addition of one cent in the nealth and poor levy and an increase of three cents in the county school debt service levy. As an offset to this four cents increase the rate for bond purposes was reduced two cents, leaving a net Increase in the budget total of two cents on the $100 valuations. The budget must lie open for twenty days for public inspection and protests before Its formal adoption. In adition to the county-wide items calling for the 68 cents levy, additional rates were levied in road and school districts. Rates were raised in a number of these districts to compensate for reductions in valuations, and in other districts the rate was lowered, for the opposite reasons in some instances and on account of reduction of debt in others. The road rate in Roanoke township was boosted from 60 to 70 cents, the only change made in the road districts. The school district rate in Macon was raised from 55 cents to $1.04; the Littleton rate was boosted from 4-- 1- - i.l.A lITiaa Mia JU CeUlS W DI LCilM), buc -IIIOC was raised from 20 to 22 cents, and the Norlina rate was raised from 62 cents to 67 cents. A reduction of one cent, from 44 to 43 cents, was given in Warrenton district. The rate at Vaughan was cut in half, from 12 to six cents, and two cents was lopped off the Drewry budget, making the rate 10 cents as compared with 12 cents last year. No levy was found necessary in the Afton-Elberon district. Last year a levy of five cents was made in that district. The school budget approved by the commissioners calls for a totai outlay of $21,980. Of this amount, the sum of $4,080, for Vocational teachers, is to be returned by the state, leaving a net sum of $17,900 to be raised in the county for the operation of the schools. Levies made in the school districts, in addition to the county-wide levy, are for debt service purposes only. ? ? ? * * pmm!
