C., as second class matter. Wednesday, January 11, 1933. riforia THE LEGISLATURE The Legislature got off to a good start last, Wednesday morning. The House honored itsslf, and Person county, by electing Hon. R. L. Harris as Speaker. Contrary to the usual custom at the very first session the House adopted a resolution reducing the salaries of all State officers who were elected on November eighth fifteen per cent. This resolution reached the Senate on Thursday morning and it was promptly pass ed. Prom every appearance it looks as if both Houses are determined to reduce expenses, and many who are now on the pay roll of the State will be looking for new jobs, and those who will be retained will be considerably cut. Another thing, it is generally believed the session will not last over the allotted sixty days. ? It looks as if the platform of Senator Noell will be adopted com . pletely, namely: The removal of the 15c ad valorem tax; the revaluation of land, and a general reduction in State expenses. While they have not all been passed on, it is gen erally conceded they will be adopted. Altogether, we think a good start A ? has been made, and it is our opin ion the voters are not going to be disappointed with the present Leg islature. * The senator from Person, repre senting Granville and Person coun ties. fared exceedingly well in the way of committee appointments, having been made chairman of two committees, InstitiAions for the Deaf, and Committee on Printing, and member of the following; com mittees: Finance, Water Commerce, Federal Relations, Election Laws, Caswell Training School, Commer cial Fisheries, Constitutional Amend ments, and Education. ' , sl ?? GOVERNOR'S MESSSGE - 9 Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus was inaugurated as Governor last Thursday at high noon. Immediate ly after taking the oath of office he . delivered his inaugural address, and Jr. it was decidedly to the point. He stressed economy and, if possible, i jto new taxes-. Undoubtedly the legislature is with him and will do everything possible in the way of reductions in salaries, abolishng of unnecessary offices and consolidat ing where it is not possible to elimi nate entirely. Of course, the mes *sage was lengthy and we are not able to publish it in full, but below we are giving the high spots of it. There are twenty-four items and all t '? worth while, as follows: 1. ? A balanced budget immediate ly. 2. ? Levy of no new taxes. 3.? Immediate reva luation of property. 4? Relief from the 15-cent state wide levy for support of schools. 5. ? Drastic curtailment in spend ing, 6. ? Economy in general* "govern ment set-up. Abolition of entertainment fund for Chief Executive. 8. ? Abolition of position of ex ecutive counsel ?and granting to Governor of power to appoint par don commissioner. 9. ? Transfer of Local Government Commission to Treasury Depart ment. 10. ? Consolidation of highway and prison departments. Consolidation of all motor vehicle collections. r "til? Elimination of duplications in governmental functions. 12.? No new commitments in volving additional State money. 13.? No diversion of! highway funds. ' \ ' 14.-r-No new construction of high ways for next bienhium. ? :? 15. ? Broader supervision of local governments. 16. ? Consolidation of counties or of counties and towns. 17. ? Elimination or consolidation cf local government statutory offices. 18. ?

Our money is so good, So dear, that other nations can't afford to buy from us, using such expensive money. Do you suppose it distantly pos sible that our best minds know less about money than they think they know? ?

The nefr institu tion, beginning business with 4 thor oughly sound" foundation, is /in ex cellent position to, and no doubt will, render an important service to its clientele, and Durham, individ- ; ually and commercially, will give it a warm welcome. ? .n Balancing the budget is an im mediate economij necessity, says Governor Ehringhaus, in order to retain the State's credit integrity. But not, we trust, for the sole pur pose of enabling the State to float more bonds. Of them, there is al ready a sufBciency. o : While the town of Sparta was vul nerable, a disastrous' Are Saturday made a little slam by wiping out almost the entire business district, | But, if there is^ anything whatever i to arise, shake off the ashes and raise the bid again. rO Like the poor, the lobbyists arei always with the legislators.

A BUSINESS MAN.'S PHILOSOPHY By WILLIAM FEATHER i * ' The greatest thing In the world might be said "to be a proper at titude of mind. And what is that? may be a?ked. We can suggest only a few char acteristics. Perhaps the most im portant thing is tolerance of other people. Without this there is little hope that one can be either com fortable or happy. We must life with others, and to succeed we must get along with others. Another aspect is this conviction ? ? iC ' ? - ; - * Turns Now To National Problem* Believed of his difties as governor of the state of New York at the begin ning of the new year, President-elect Roosevelt is now giving his full time to national problems, to the selection of men for his cabinet and in confer ence with Democratic leaders mapping out a definite program to be put into effect when he takes office, March 4.

The right attitude of mind com pels a man to live within his in come, to pay his bills promptly, to jeave money, to treat others politely, to tame his appetite, to sympathize with those less favored than him self, to improve his skill and mind, to be humble and to give generously of his intelligence and money to affairs that promise to promote the public good. All such desirable activities flow from a proper attitude of mind.

HARRIS & BURNS < "Roxboro's Best Store" in New York at the annual dinner of the Football Coaches Association. o Home Cured Meats Means Better Diet i Some kind of meat aids the farm housekeeper in preparing more palatable meals and this makes thei home curing of pork, lamb and beef an important item in farm life dur ing winter. Earl H. Hostetler, animal hus- J bandman at State College, saysf there are three factors to be con- J sidered in providing edible and ap- | petizing meat products on the home farm at a minimum cost. First, the j meat must be thoroughly chilled but not frozen before curing; second,' sufficient salt, with or without other ingredients, must be applied direct ly to all the exposed surface of the fresh meat, and third, when cured the meat must be protected from flies, rats and other pests. While p<jrk is the kind of meat al most universally cured on all North Carolina farms, it is possible to cure the ""meaty" portions of lamb and bteef. Both of theste may be cured at home with little trouble if left in cure for the proper Tefigth of time. Mr. Hostetler has used two formu las for curing meat in his work at the colleare and he says both of these will give good results. To cure by the- brine method, he suggests 12 pounds of salt, 3 pounds of brown sugar, 2 ounces of salt petre and six gallons of water to each hundred pounds of the meat. To cure by the dry method, use 8 pounds of salt, 3 pounds of brown Sugar and 3 ounces of saltpetre to each 100 pounds of meat. These two formulas have been used in a number of meat curing demonstrations conducted over North Carolina in the last two years by R. E. Nanoe and the results hare been gratifying to those who have used the formulas. Now that live stock is selling for a low price, It might be wise to cure more meat at home, usiqg these formulas. Mr. Hcstetler believes. o A group of farmers in Richmond County has organized a savings and loan association to aid the farmers in supplying their own fi nancial aid.

" ? -- -N SCRIP . . . the stamp idea . The latest thing in the form of ; money is called "stamped, scrip." i The idea originated in Germany and i has been adopted in a number of ' American cities, to make money cir- I culate faster. ; In Evans ton, Illinois, they work the scheme this way: The local re tail merchants association put $5,000 in a bank. Then it issued 5,000 scrip dollars, each one of them good for a dollar at the bank if presented within a week. But after one week it was only good if it had a special two-cent trading stamp pasted on it. Nobody but the merchants had these stamps. You have to spend the dollar at a store to make it good. The next week another stamp has to be put on it, and so on for a year. , This makes each of the scrip dol lars turn over fifty-two times a year, because anyone who holcte one of them has to pay two cents a week for the privilege of holding it, or lose his original dollar. Our principal money trouble is not a shortage of money but the fact that it is not moving fast enough. This scrip plan is1 said to be working well in the towns that have tried it. o The beverage grenadine is made from the pomegranate.
