Teacher at Local College Gives Interesting
Figures on Staggering Cost
of War, and Makes Plea for World
Disarmament. "Taxes Cannot Be
Reduced Until War Ceases/' Mrs.
Bynum Taylor Named as President.
"Taxes cannot be reduced so long
as the bulk of our national expenditures
go into the war chest,*'" declared
Professor Vance Howell of Ax>palachiau
Slate Teachers College in an
address before the Boone ParentTeacher
Association at the Demonstration
school building on last Friday
afternoon.
(Taking as a basis of his remarks
the point of view that many of the
complex political, social and economic
problems which face the country today
have largely been brought about
arid intensified by the fact that disarmament
has not been accomplished,
Professor Howell pictured to his audience
the chaos that has existed
since the world conflict, of 1914-1.8,
and the threats which face the civilized
world through a lack of peace
and understanding. His speech in part
follows:
"Since the World War the changes
in American social, political and eco-,
nomic life have been so striking and
the necessity of readjustments so
great that it may be seriously asked
whether we are not in the beginning
of a new era. In respect to peace and
disarmament we have only a very lit
in-, on. oi eitner, lu vnc lact mai
every president since Wilson has ot;
cmpted disarmament ami the bringing
about of V'1 more satisfactory
peace. The rumblings of war in far
off Manchuria on this thirteenth anniversary
of the World War remind us
that the League of Nations is being
& sorely tested and that we arc no nearer
guarantees of peace ihan we were
in 1014 on the eve of the World War.
Our guarantees of international
. peace are no more today than they
have always been?mere scraps of puIjuhfV
per. Should it he our policy to continue
to follow these false and delu-1
sive paper guarantees of peace, or
turn to those most promising solul&t
tions of the world's ails-?that of dis?sj
armament. . . .
M "When the American soldiers
turned their backs on Europe thirteen
iSS&l years ago, it was almost a universal
UMX opinion that they had seriously end
JSp vitally contributed to the accomplish3gj
ment of world peace: today they are
jgtf all hut forced to confess tfiat their
"fSB fighting and dying Was in vain. View
if you please that dark and ominous
wgr cloud in the far-away East which
aw threatens a repetition of 11114. It
Wjk threatens a destruction of fifteen to
Jb? twenty-five per cent, of the wealth
? of the. nations and the slaying of milsu
lions of the flower of young manhood
Sp in the world. Where is America's poJp
lineal peace, her social peace, and her
? economic peace for which the AmeriuSk
can soldier fought? For thirteen
years the dove of peace has soared
gf above crag and mountain peak searching
in vain for a suitable place, to
851 plant her foot and to rest her iired
4K pinions. If we fail to secure disarmtS&
ament, what did we achieve in the
last war? The treaty of Versailles
becomes an armistice between two
ML great world wars. . . .
"Consider if you please some facts
concerning the operation of our goviwnmpnt
-fnr t.hi? nncf wenlv.fivo
I years. In 1905 it cost only six hundred
millions of dollars to operate
our government for a year, but today
it costs more than three billions of
dollars to operate our government for
a year. In 1905 it cost only seven dollars
for every man, woman and child
to operate our national government
for a year, hut today it costs more
than thirty dollars for every man, woman
and child in the country. About
sixty-five per cent of all our nation*
a) expenditures go for war or future
wars. The United States has spent
during the last 137 years more money
on war directly and indirectly
than all other governmental activities
put together.
'"Hie World War cost the nations
participating over two hundred billions
of dollars. Some idea of the
magnitude of this colossal sum may
be gained from the fact that less than
a billion minutes elapsed between the
"birth of Christ and the beginning of
the Twentieth Century. In the month
of December, 1918, our war expenditures
averaged nearly sixty-five
million cellars a day. Does this not
lead one to the conclusion that our
national greatness has become an expensive
luxury? Our public expenditures
have been increasing for more
than a hundred years. One is almost
led tn believe hv those fianirec thof
our government has become a huge
machine for the collecting of taxes
today and to pay them out tomorrow,
directly or indirectly, for war.
"... Taxes cannot be reduced to
their proper level so long an the bull
of our national expenditures go intc
the war chest. ... So long as Great
Britain increases her navy we musl
find some means of building something
greater. Each nation goes int<

the collection of $1,400 on his
trip here last Thursday, which brings
the total paid in to him from this

Watt Gragg Suffers Broken Arm and
Cuts When Cars Collide. Now
at Charlotte Sanatorium. Condition
Is Improved.
Watt H. Grace, secretary of the
Watauga Building and Loan Association
and prominent contender for the
appointment as United Slates marshal,
had hia right grm broken atnjya
'a?r^5S^mireTved serious fiitftnl
cuts, following a motor accident on
the Boone Trail Highway, nt Pond
Bottom Farm near the city, last Saturday
night.
Mr. Gragg was returning to Boone
from a business trip to Greensboro,
was traveling at a rather rapid pace,
and was blinded by the lights of an
approaching car driven by Paul Angel,
local college man. The ears bnrely
touched, hut Mr. Gragg's machine,
was thrown into a "wobbie," causing j
it to smash into the side of the bieh-l
way cut. Mr. Gragg -was given immediate
attention by Dr. J. B. Bogaman,
the arm bone set, an ug!y gash
across the left eye stitched, and it
was thought his condition was satisfactory.
On Sunday, however, an Xvay
picture revealed that proper connection
of the severed bone had not
been made, and he was taken to the
Charlotte Sanatorium Monday, where
Dr. Miller, bone specialist, placed the
member in a plaster cast. He thinks
the union will be established without
the necessity of an operation. Latest
reports are that he is doing well, and
will probably return to Boone within
a week.
Mr. Gragg was just about to finish
his campaign for the marshalship
when the accident occurred and, despite
the bandages, he still believes!
he has a grand chance of victory. The
call for the committee meeting to decide
the appointment is expected to
be issued within a few days.

Air. and Mrs. Tom Gushing, local
couple whose, marriage Was consummated
some twelve days ago, were
greeted by S. L. Rothafcl, New York's
famous uRoxy", over a nation-wide
hook-up of the National Broadcasting
System Friday evening. Mincing
words is not a habit with "Roxy,"
who with "His Gang" has been offering
select programs to the radio
world for several years, and on last
Friday he told "the cock-eyed world"
thai. Betty and Tom had been hooked
up in double harness down at Boone,
jjjotth Carolina, and offered them ov;
cry good wish for a long and happy
i married life.
And "R^xy" took no chances on
Tom and Betty hearing his words of
greeting. In characteristic Rothafel
style he poured out his benediction,
closing the congratulatory remarks
with these words: "If the newly weds
are not listening in, it is my wish
that someone nearby who has heard
these words convey my best wishes
to them immediately. They may be
found at the Daniel Boone Hotel in
Boone, North Carolina."
So now the whole wide world
I knows about Mr. and Mrs. Tom Cushjing,
Boone and the Daniel Boone
Hotel. From Maine to the Florida
Keys, from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
from the Rio Grande to Kankakee,
in Timbuctoo, the South Sea
Isles and all other places where radio
waves are captured and "biled down"
in receiving sets, the folks heard
what "Roxy" had to say. And as
these thousands of folks in every
walk of life pursue their daily endeavors,
they doubtless are hoping that;
Tom and Betty live long and prosper.

Sheriff's Officers Get
Big Still and Two Men
Perhaps the most complete whisky
raid ever to have been reported to
the sheriff's office was made last
j Wednesday afternoon when Deputies
W. K. Greene, Wilcv Day and John
K. Brown destroyed a large steam
plant in Elk Township, near the
Wilkes County line, including twenty
gallons of liquor and a quantity of
beer, and brought Joe Triplett and
Lawrence Sanders, Wilkes citizens, to
the county jail on a charge of operating
the illicit plant. The offenders
were given a hearing before Justice
of the Peace E. N. Hahn and were
bound to Superior Court under a
bond of $1,000 each.
The distillery, say the officers, was
located in the extreme lower edge of
Elk Township between Elk Creek and
Buffalo, and had apparently been in
. operation for some time. The stiil
' was of about fifty-gallon capacity,
made of wood and heated by steam
from a gasoline-barrel boiler. Five
fermenting vats were included in the
I equipment, and the spirits were being
manufactured from a blend of wheat
: bran, sugar and com. The two men
were apprehended, near the still car'
rying ten gallons of the fiery fluid
each, and gave chase when.the offii
cers appeared, but were readily capI
tured. The plant was completely destroyed,
and the liquor poured out.
