PAGE TEN NECROSCHOOL TO CLOSESOON Rev. J.W. Hairston, D.D., To Deliver Annual Sermon Closing exorcises of the J'ranklin coiorcd school are schechiled to start Sunday, April 5, with the an nual sermon in the courthouse at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, it was announced this week by R. B. Watts, iirincipal of the school. riie Rev. J. W, Hairston, D.lJ., 'if Asheville, is to deliver the ser- nion. “VVe are very fortunate,” I’rin- tipal Watts said, “in securing the scrvict^ of this great Negro preach er, who is ]>astor of four thousand ineijibers—the largest colored Bap tist church in North Carolina. He is also one of the most outstand ing ministers in the Negro race, and a great race advocate. ■'We arc anxious that all the I)Coi)le, both colored and white, may hear him. .Special seats will i>c re served for white people, and ail are invited. We earnestly beg that every colored man and womah, and all the children in the county be ]iresent at this occasion, and make the first Sunday in A[iril a day long to be remembered for its in spiration and .uplift, coupled with racial good will.” J)r. Hairston’s sermon will follow a song service jointly rendered by ])Upils of the school and choirs of the different churches. The pro gram will include melodics, anthems and spirituals. The song service will start at 2 o’clock. I here will be patriotic and re ligious services at the school limise each night of the -week following short programs hy the school I'upils, sermons by the pastors and addresses by others. The public is invited to attend all exercises. Proves Washington’s Dollar Throwing Fe^ ID MANY JOINING BURIALGROUP 2,500 Members Reported Enrolled Since March 1 Approximately 2,500 persons have jomed the Bryant Burial Associa- lion since it launched its member- ship drive the first of this moTith, it was announced Wednesday by (). C. Bryant, Franklin funeral di rector, under whose sponsorshij) the organization was formed. “W'C expect to have at least six thousand members before the mem bership campaign ends,” Mr. Bryant added. I he purpose of the iburial associa tion, it was explained, is to provide low co«t burial insurance to the ])eople of this coimty through a locally-controlled, mutual associa tion. This association is organized under the state insurance laws and is subject to the supervision of the state insurance commissioner, with whom $5,000 bond has been de posited to guarantee the continued operation of th'C association. Similar organizations have been formed throughout the state, Mr. r>ryant said, and their total mem bership is more than a million per sons—more than a third of the state s population. The Bryant Bur- ud association operates on the Siune basis as oth-er burial associa tions in North Carolina, Mr. Bry- nnt stated. He said he organized the local association because he felt it would be in position to render a better service to the ]>eople of ^^acon county than some association in another county. A meeting of the members of the new association, Mr. Bryant announced, w’ill be called in the near future for the purpose of electing officers. Encotjraged by the response to the burial association’s membership drive, Mr. Bryant said he was ser iously considering the erection in I'ranklin of a modern funeral home rquippi-d with all the latest mor tuary facilities—a funeral home which woiild be in position to rend er a service compiarable only with the service made available by the better undertakers in th« larger cities. (Special to The Press-Maoonian) WASH 1NGTON, March 25. - While President Roosevelt is away on his annual fishing trip in I'lo- rida waters, the boys on Caiiitol Hill are doing sonic scrijus work trying to draw up a new (.ax bill which will raise the additional $800,(KX),(XX) a year that is ncccssaiy to bring the (iovernnient budget into balance. They have taken as the basis from which to start the President’s proposal to tax corporate reserves, but the more they study it, the less likely it seems that they will adopt the Treasury plan as submitted. rhcre are two reasons for this hesitancy. One is considerable doubt as to whether it will really raise the necessary revenue und, second, the questio.n whether it wxiuld be good public policy to draw down corporate reserves to a point where big industries might not be able to carry on through another depression, as so many of them have done, by the aid of that part ' of their profits which they had put away for a rainy day. “Rainy Day” Funds The United States Steel Corpora tion, for example, 'has a reserve of more than $2SO,0(X),000 which on the face of it looks pretty big; but the corporation last year paid out oa-er $7,000,000 in dividends on its ])rcferred stock, although it earned only a little less than $1,200,(XX) profits. The difference came out of the reserve. L. S. Steel is only one of many corporations which have followed a similar practice throughout the de pression year.s, and as these are studied, the feeling grows that it would not be good economics to go as far as the Treasury has pro posed. Ihe Ways and Means Committee of the House will draft the first bill and the Senate Finance Com mittee will redraft it. The best guess now is that the resulting measure will leave the net tax burden on corporations about where ■t now IS but will put a heavier tax burden upon the recipient of corporate dividends, thus hitting mainly the income-tax payers wh-, now pay on mcomes of from $10- WO a year up. Politically this will look good to the a\ erage voter who does not re gard himself as being affected by taxes which he does not pay di- in^dnft’ ■''r- big industrial incorporations any excuse for reducing employment or curtail ing operations. The last thing that Congress wants to do is to pass any laws which would tend to check the rising tide of re-employment. No Boat Rocking ere has been an increase of aboiit three percent in industrial ernploytnent since last .\fay, accord- g to the latest figures of the BoI'rd"“kt . Conference ^oard. At the same time there has been an increase in the average 'vage of industrial workers Tom THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN er Government guarantee for all of these and other low-cost housing projects. The threat of an early European war is regarded here as more seri ous than previously. The realiza tion that in such an 'event ,any one of a hundred things might work to drag the United States into another war is growing. The recent neu trality resolution is not regarded by practical-minded students of in ternational affairs as likely to be effective for its avowed purpose. Thoughts Tpw.ard Defense Renewed interest is being shown in our own military preparations. The McSwain bill to increase our army airplanes to 4,000 has .been favorably reported in the House. The United States Army today has only 776 serviceable planes. The Senate Committee on Mili tary Affairs has recommended an appropriation of $600,000,000 for the War Department, to provide, among other things, for increas ing the regular army from 140,000 men to 165,000. The -War Department has just let contracts for 512 airplane en gines, to cost $43,000,009, most of them the most powerful ever yet built. Political gossip here is swinging back to a discussion of the chances of the formation of a third party, headed by .41 Smith and the Lib erty League crowd. Active efforts to organize such a “Constitutional Party” are said to be under way, but a good deal of doubt is ex pressed as to whether any great following of anti-Administration Democrats would flock to its stand ard. Opponents of Governor Lando'n of Kansas, regarded now as in the lead for the Republican nomination, are bringing up against him the fact that he is receiving a great deal of pre-oonvention support from Oklahoma oil interests— which is quite natural, considering that he has been connected with the oil .business all his life and owns much oil-producing land. m FREDERICKSBURG, Va. . . . ‘‘Big Tram" Walter Johnson, one of baseball’s pitching immortals, proved that the legend of George Washington having thrown a silver dollar across the Rappahannock river here when ll-yc;ir old, wa? entirely possible. In two out of three attempts here on Washington’s birthday, Johnson threw silver dollars across the 272 foot stream. His throw was 317 feet Congress Striving Hcird To Balance the Budget New Tax on Corporate Dividends Is Now Seen Likely $21.75 a week to $23.50 a week. I hose figures do not show as ;;reat an incre.ase in employment and wages as most folks would like to see, but they do indicate a definite upward trend and the feeling on Capitol Hill is to be V cry careful and not to put over any new^ legislation which would check this rising tendency.
