Any building in' North Carolina would be filled should Cameron Morrison and Josephus Daniels debate the question of the State's finances, but the majority of the people at the debate would be drawn by curiosity. They-would not care any thing about the arguments of the debat ers so far as the question debated was concerned. They would be interested, however, in any personalities that might be passed. Mr. Morrison is defending liis admin istration by declaring there was no big deficit, say of about $6,000,000, while be was Governor. This question all canje up months ago. The State si>ent .$40,000 an an audit and we believe we are safe in declaring the general public never un derstood just what the audit showed. Recently State Auditor Raster Durham came forward with the statement that there was a State overdraft of something over $6,000,000 and former Governor Morrison was quick to challenge the i statement that such an overdraft was a ; deficit. There are uncollected taxes to cover the amount he contends, Mr. Daniels has contended all along in his News and Observer that there is a deficit. It is his privilege to so think; and it is also his privilege to say so if he thinks it and it is natural that he should use liis newspaper as a medium of expressing his thoughts. He is not tak ing advantage of Mr. Morrison by using his newspaper for this purpose for lie writes the former Governor that the News and Observer will give space to anything he writes. Iu a letter sent Friday Mr. Morrison seems to be more concerned with what Mr. Daniels has said about him than about the State's finances. In his letter lie said: “Will you debate with me the attack that you and your fictitious char acter The Rhamkatte Roaster have been making on me in the News and Obser ver ?” It seems to ns that enough has been said about this deficit, especially by per sons who are not in position to do any thing about it. Mr. Morrison and Mr. Daniels might debate for a week on, the question and then what? The State would be right where it is now. It would be no richer or poorer? Governor McLean is trying to get at the bottom of the whole thing and the State before long will know definitely just what its financial status is. Until then the less said by everyone the better. INCREASED INTEREST HERE IN POULTRY. A movement is on foot for the organi zation of a poultry association in Cabar rus county and prominent chicken frfn e’ers declare a little effort will result in one of the strongest associations in the State. During the past three years especial ly, interest in poultry lms in creased in Cabarrus county. It is true that the county has always had some chickens, but they were just “scrubs” that had been hatched out and allowed to wander about in most instances. Thinks are different now. Persons are going about the matter in a scientific manner and as a result the chickens are i thriving in diffrtfenTpnrts the c?u«4y. organiza tion "would work together for thf ■ 1 f ■ cooia ob onierwj oj iw aw* [ elation. Experts could be brought here Iby the association to tell of the best methods of raising chickens. Standard | prices for the chickens and their produce [ could be established by the association to Aie interest of all. Last week four small South Carolina towns shipped more than SB,OOO worth of chickens to New York City on one train. The shipment was made possible by co-operation. A poultry association in Cabarrus would give opportunity to all poultry men and women to co-operate. In many counties in North- Carolina such an or ganization has been functioning foe years and it means better chickens for a coun ty and more profits for the poultry own er. ' THE FRIEDA HEMPEL CONCERT. Those persons who made it possible for Frieda Hempel to be brought to Concord are due a vote of thanks by the entire citizenship of the city. The concert brought to Concord one of "the musical stars of the world and as such Miss Hem peel gave to the city an.evening of rare pleasure and benefit. In addition to offering a concert that is the unusual rather than the usual in cities outside of New York and other of the larger cities. Miss Hempel brought much publicity to Concord, attracting here many persons who never before had felt any interest in the city. It is hoped that twice each year at least, Concord people will have the pleasure of hearing in concert here oth er prominent jn'en and women of the mus ical world. YOUR facpME TAX No. 8 ' ' 4 Jo determine net income, upon which the tax is assessed, the taxpayer must first compute his gross income. Re gardless of the amount of net income a return is required of every individual whose gross income for 1924 was $5,000 or more. Gross-income, as defined by regulations' relating ,to the income tax und’er the revenue act of 1924, "Includes in general compensation for personal and professional services, business income, profits, from sales of and dealings in property, interest, rent, dividends, and gains, profits, and income derived from any source whatever, unless exempt from tax by law." Net income is gross in come, less certain specified deductions for business expenses, losses, bad debts, de preciation of business property, gifts, etc., to be fully explained later. Taxpayers may be divided into four general classes—the wage earner or sal aried class, business, professional, and agricultural. All compensation for per sonal service received by a salaried per son or wage earner is income, including commissions, bonuses, fees, pensions paid retired employees, and tips. The gross income of the usual busi ness consists of the grass profits on sales, together with income from investments and incidental or outside operation or sources. The return must show the gross sales, purchases and cost of goods sold. To reflect net income correctly in any business in which the production, purchase or sale of merchandise is an in come produsing factor, inventories arc necessary at the beginning and end of each taxable year. The lawyer, doctor, architect, author, dentist, clergyman or other professional man must include all fees, salaries and compensation for professional services. The farmer is required to report as gross income ali profits derived from the sale or exchange of farm products and livestocks, whether produced on the farm or purchased and resold and income from other sources. The market value of merchandise or groceries exchanged for farm products must be included; also profits from renting a farm on the crop sharing basis, and the rental and sale of farm lands. Dog or Ring? l’aris, Jan. 30.—Mine. Jacques Du mont, a Paris society woman, is in a dilymma. A few days ago she told the police she had lost a magnificent diamond ring mounted iu platinum. Later she telephoned, saying her pet Pomeranian flog had swallowed the ring, which she had pulled off with her The dog had. torn qp the glove and swallowed the ring inside. The police advised her to go to the hospital for animals, and this she did accompanied by the dog. Madame explained that she granted the ring back, but she begged the veterinary surgeons not to kijl the dog. They have not yet decided how to help her out of the dilemma. .. .

Warren, secretary of. the , j North Carolina Education Association, , [ which will be made to the association ' 1 tomorrow. In his report the secretary - reviews the work done by the associa tion during the last year and submits > a number of recommendations, together • with a financial statement of, the organ ization. . In the report Mr. Warren says: “dust , as soon as the funds of the association justify it, I believe it will be w : se for the association to increase the appropria tions for, district meetings. If possible, there should /be an inspirational speaker at each of these meetings. In addition to this speaker there should be some well-trained person who can give prec tical demonstrations before the various groups.” i I Secretary Warren also urges that the incoming president appoint a committee to make a study of the constitution of the association for the purpose of find ing out what changes may be wise and reporting these changes back at the next animal meeting of the organization. He also recommends that, if the district plan is continued, the district chairmen be made members of the executive commit tee. A platform of objectives, developed in connection with the advice of the State superintendent, is also recommended by Mr. Warren in his report. This plat form, he says, should be flexible enough to permit additions and changes from time to time as the necessity arises. “With these definite things in view the programs of the state association and the programs of the district meetings could be concentrated toward the consumma tion of these objestives. he says. “Last year the president was author ized to apoint a committee to work out a code of ethics," continues Mr. Warren, “and this committee has made its re port to; you and you will be pallet! on to consider it at this meeting. If this code meets with the approval of tlie as sociation, it should be adopted. It should not be adopted, however, without a free : and fall discussion of every phase of the i report.’’ I In commenting on the financial state , ment bf the association Mr. Warren says i "An examination of the magazine report l indicates that if the association decided i to stop publication today it eould pay i all its bills and still have something more ■ than SBOO to the good.” The receipts for the year, according to • the report, were $22,002.31, while the ex , penditures are listed at $18.57.91, leav ing an actual bank balance of $3,426.40. ■ The total assets of the association are listed at $0,417.25. I . Herrin, 111., Is Sick. Philadelphia Record. It is to be hoped that the town of Hep i rill. 111., is in a class quite by itself. It has been a sore, red spot upon the map of the I’. S. A. for many mouths past. ’Die New York World diagnoses it as a disease —a sort of civic scarlet fever, perhaps—and the dagnosis is probably correct. Our best hope, at any rate. -is that Herrin's case is not symptomatic. There has been rottenness there for a long time, and it has spread to other sections of Williamson county, 111., and cuviiMiis. We cannot forget the fact that one of the most tawdry cases of lust and murder that have afflicted this country in many years also had that section for its locus. What ails Herrin, anyway? Strikes, bootlegging and the K. K. K. have been severely blamed for the trou ble, but that does not explan everything. All three of those noxious elements have been present in other communities, but Herrin is surely iu a class by itself. For the moment that region does not belong to America. It is sick, and it should be put iu quurautine. Woman Offers Sterilization Biff.

Minneapolis,, Jan. 30.—Aroused by the ■ report of .the dean of student affairs dis closing scholastic averages among the ! fraternities for. the 1923-24 school year , to.be below the minimum requirement for graduation, President Lotus D. Coff man. pf the University of Minnesota, has taken step? to raise the classroom, Standards of the Greek letter organiza-| tions, threatening disciplinary action un less improvement ‘is shown. A set of new regulations for all fra-| teruitiee annd sororities, issued by the president, specified that any chapter not maintaining an average of “C” or bet ter “shall be placed on probation by the university for the year following.” The 1823-24 scholastic report of E. E. Nicholson, dean of student affairs, showed that only 17 of the 32 academic fraternities had established “C” aver ages for the 1823-24 school year. On | .the other hand, not a single sorority fell below a “C” average, the report dis closed. indicating that the measures taken by the administration were intended pri marily for the fraternities. Governing bodies of the Greek letter organizations are behind the movement to improve sclidlastie standards. The Pan Hellenic council took action limit ing the social activities of ts women members, and the fraternity governing body urged its members not to pledge new freshmen whose grades at the end of the fall quarter were below the “O” mark.

B. WfLifilVSttfr ■nri i L n l f “Close Calculators" Who Failed. The Progressive Farmer. During the year 15)23, 2,265 people were killed jn railway t crossing 'acci dents. Some of these accidents were no doubt unavoidable, but a large per cent sos them were due to a miscalculation on [the part of the driver of the driver of the automohile. He figured he could ,ctwi the trucks ahead of the train. Kut when a passenger train is running forty miles an hour, nnd an automobile is going twenty miles an hoar, approach ing the same point, it does not take them long to meet. The combined speed of the -two amounts to sixty miles an hour, or eighty-eight feet a second, One .second more speed on the part of 'the car may mean a good big margin of safety, but on tho other hand, if the driver of the enr, figuring closely, mWe Kculato. -the speed of the train one ond, he fails to cross the track sefely by some sixty feet. A miscalculation of rn second may mean the difference be- J tween life and death, and none ttbOj I most irresponsible art willing to do' I such figuring when -the penalty for mia ’fcsi’culation is so great. It’s' poor Ygambling. to,say the least, for there is jKttle to gain. and everything to !o#e-| frfowever, there are many “close <-alt-ula-; {tors’’ whom the . tains have not. yet hit. 1 land in an attempt to save them from | 1 their own recklessness, some states have r Saturday, January 31, 1025 • £&■’ •- <— -.♦a, ■■■«; r - passed laws,making it compulsory that ail automobiles come to a full stop be fore crossing steam or electric railway tracks.
