CAItOLINA, FKID.W, JUNE 24 , 1982 TEN PAGES NUMBER IS _1_ Reynolds Speaks At Louisburg Presents His Claims To Large Crowd At Court House Wednesday ? In troduced by Chaa. P. Green. "Never before In Its history have such conditions as we are experienc ing .been seen in the United Statea," declared R. R. Reynolds, candidate (or the U. 8. Senate against Sena <? tor Cameron Morrison, in a speech in the Court house in Loulsburg Wednesday. He told his hearers, who filled the Court room, that he was here to tell them the truth, that they knew times now are worse than six or three months ago and will be still worse six months hence. He told how a republican adminis tration with elevators full of wheat, had refused the plea of humanitari ans to distribute any of It to re lieve the suffering unemployed, while in a short while after it pro vided huge funds at the request of big business to relieve their finan cial distress through the Refinance Corporation, and of how the Anti hoarding movement was begun to get the little fellow to turn loose what little cash he had in hand that It might find its way to the hands of big business. With these he illus trated that the little fellow had been forgotten by our government which has been In the hands of big business so long that it has lost all significance of the peoples govern ment. He stated that It was time for we little people to rise up and demand a change, by returning the reins of this government to the peo ple themselves. Since the crisis of 1929 the present administration has been telling us that prosperity 1s Just around the corner, and com mented it must be, It Isn't here. He thought the government should have paid^the soldier bonus Instead of providing the Refinance Corpora, tion with funds for big business. He told how the failure of 10,000 banks in the United States was due to the manipulation and greed of big bank ing Interests and contrasted it with Cunada, which had had no failures. I He said he was In" favor of protect ing the depositors with a law guar anteeing deposits, and was not In favor of walverlng interests on Eu ropean debts as it was a measure to put private loans ahead of govern ment loans and would cause an av erage Increase of tax or loss, either direct or indirect of $780.00 to each person in the United States. He was not in favor of any more tax burden on the citizens. He denied that he was for liquor, but was In favor of doing awfcy with the prohibition that we haven't got and taxing the liquor that we have never gotten rid o t, and reducing taxes on land. He described liquor as man's worse enemy and the dev il s best friend, and that he was In favor of putting it under governmen tal control and making it pay a tax He claims that prohibition has brok en down respect for law and order has debauched your boys and .girls, filled your prisons, Increased your taxes and made moral cowards of too many of our citlxens. He claimed that prohibition had caused Courts to be set up for the rich and Courts Jlf P00r,' vtakln<T the position that the wealthy or influential citi zen would get by while the poor devil got the roads. He stated that If we taxed the liquor that is here now the government would receive a revenue of from nine hundred mil lions to one billion , dollars a year He claimed that in the primary of June 4th he had defeated the most powerful Interests In the 8tate. the ptfwer trust, tobacco trust, and State machine. ' Referring to the personal criti cisms of himself he gave as his an swer that his home County of Bun combe gave him a majority of 7500 and that the city of Charlotte gaw him a majority of 178. He stressed his financial (rendi tion, picturing his Inability to fi nance his campaign and thanked his many friend* for financing it for him. , The speaker was Introduced by Mr. Chas. P. Qreen, who presented him as "our Bob-, the peoples can didate from the mountains to the sea. Mr. Reynolds Is a splendid speak er, a good judge of his audience and handled his subject to their sat isfaction, bringing repeated applause shewing it. was well received.

Tax Program Begun Tuesday Kates Of New Bill, Almost On War-Time Basis, Designed To Eraae Deficit Washington, June 19. ? Upon the stroke of midnight tomorrow, the | major machinery of the new tax bill will be thrown into gear, to operate , Continuously through June 80, 1334. At that time, the government's | program for raising more than half , of the additional tax burden of 51,118,500,000 will be launched through a new manufacturers' excise levy, stamp taxes and miscellaneous , others. From these the treasury hopes to realize $664,000,000 dur ing the coming fiscal year. Apparently few purchasing agents throughout the land will be spared by the new Imposts. The list of tax able articles includes a cross-section of more or less essential, such as matches, gasoline, electricity for domestic and commercial usage, au tomobiles and Vtlres, ? candy, soft drinks, toilet preparations and a host of others. From these manu facturers' excise taxes the govern ment expects $457,000,000 next year. Various Taxes Under the miscellaneous Imposts are found telephone messages cost ing more than 60 cents, telegraph and cable communications, and a tax on admissions ? designed to raise $64,600,000. The stamp taxes on security is sues, security transfers, conveyances, checks and the like, are calculated to provide further revenues of $132,600,000. The tax on admissions is applic able at the rate of 1 cent for each 10 cents or fraction thereof on charges above 40 cents. Admissions | not only to theatres, but "to any , place" are affected. The tax must be collected from the persons, pay ing the admissions, any persons, ex cept employes, admitted free or at reduced rates must pay the tax. Admissions Levy Certain exemptions are made In favor of. religious, educational or charitable organizations, exqept at wrestling, prize fighting, boxing or sparring matches, or other pugilistic exhibitions. The regulations made public today provide no exemption for college athletic games or for those operated by the government. The tax on tickets sold for more than the established price is 10 per cent of the excess remaining after the fixed price and the tax have been deducted. This tax, which has been in effect since June 6, Is paid by the seller. Dues and initiation fees to any social, athletic or sporting club or organization are taxable at the rate of 10 per cent If the dues of an ac tive resident annuall member are in excess of $25 per year, and If initiation fees amount to more than $10. Exempted from the provisions are amounts paid to a fraternal society, order or association, "" operating un der the lodge system, or to ?ny lo cal fraternal organization among the schools and colleges.

Picture Deals With Boys From New Viewpoint "Yonng America" Shows Their Re > 'i Karri For Education, Speed And I > Ivors? Hundreds of books, plays and -motion pictures have been turned out in recent years dealing with home life in this hectic age. The faults and virtues, the pleasures and pains of- domestic existence today have been discussed from every con ceivable angle ? except one. That one is the angle of boyhood. How the youngsters of the nation regard our modern scheme of things and our high-pressure In ode of living constitutes a viewpoint' that few writers have touched. Yet It Is of vast significance to adults i>s well as to the youtha who In a decade or two will be running the country. What do these young people think of marriage and divorce today? Of our new educational theories and methods? Of their home surround ings in this age of radios and fast cars and prohibition and mothers' clubs and dozens of other outside interest* undreamed of thirty years ago? Such questions are said to be answered in a vivid and unforget-' able manner in a new screen, offer ing that Frank Borxage, the maker of "7th Heaven," "Bad Girl" and "After Tomorrow" recently dlrectod for Fox Films. Presenting a sur vey of the whole complex situation from the viewpoint of two fourteen year-old boys, Borxage has turned out what is claimed to be the finest picture of his career in "Young America" ? a picture that has al ready aroused the enthusiasm of millions of theatre-goers for Its clev er entertainment, and the admira tion of Juvenile authorities and edu cators for Its fearless handling of the facta. With M?h celebrities as Spencer Tracy, Doris Kenyon, Beryl Uercer, Ralph Bellamy and Sarah Padden In the lending adults roles and two Juvenile screen "finds," Tommy Conlon and Raymond Borxage, as the youthful heroes, this film plays, at the Loulsburg Theatre next Wed nesday.

The Republic \ can convention united behind the fa miliar Hoover-Curtis ticket today, then disbanded to labor mlchtlly lor It from now until November. , A lone ballot sufflced in each case, the Prudent winning renomlnation by of the 1,154 votes and his 1928 running mate gathering #34 1-4 in quick order. What there had been of diaaenslon over the tickUsh prohibition plank was drowned in the closiag hour* beneath waves of enthusiasm. Espe cially did the President triumph,' mattering votes In opposition being 4lvlded with 13 for Senator Blaine, of Wlscohsfn; for Calvin Cool ldge, 4 to Dr. Joseph I. France, of Maryland, and solitary counters for Charles O. Dawes and James W. Wadsworth, of New York. Cartis Scores Victory Curtis had do less reason for sat isfaction, in view of the Republican precedent against renaming vice presidents that has been broken since Civil war days only by the choice of "Sunny Jim" Sherman, of New York, in 1812. When the end of the roll was reached, the swarthy Kansan still was 20 behind the nec essary 578 but Pennsylvania put him across Instantly with a switch of its block of 75. The other votes were distributed this way: Hanford MacNIder, of Iowa, 182 3-4; James G. Harbord, of New York 161 3-4; Alvan T. Fuller, of Mas sachusetts, 57; Bertrand Snell, of New York, 56; J. Leonard Replogle, of Florida, 23 3-4; James Couzens, of Michigan, 11; Charles G. Dawes, of Illinois, ? 3-4; David S. Ingalls, of Ohio, 5; Patrick J. Hurley, of Ok lahoma, 2; William S. Kenyon, of Iowa, 2; Hlrom Bingham, of Con. necticut, 1; Edward Martin, of Penn sylvania. 1. Demonstration of Half Hour Worn by tke long and feverish hours of last night and early morn ing. the convention lifted Itself by its own bootstraps for a noisy half-hour demonstration to welcome the Hoov er nomination submitted by his friend, Joseph L. Scott, of Los An -geies. The signal, reached soon after gathering for the final session, was given when Scott climaxed with "we of his own state of California proud ly present this homespun American to lead us to victory." Up jumped Governor Rolph of that state, again to lift tke bear bag that he had wared long yesterday and the day before, and this time to lead a pre-planned march that made the rounds of the crowded floor re peatedly. Behind a band, one dele gation after another careened to and (ro bearing state standards and two long strung-out pennants proclaim ing' "Prom California to Maine ? Press on With Hoover." Tiny toy balloons of rainbow hues fluttered from the roof. Flags of all sizes were lifted above the laugh ing faces of the cheerers. Men lift ad women delegates to their should ers here and there, and in general dignity gave way to a rally remind ful of snake dances by collegians af ter a football game. France Gets Little Notice Senator Peas, the national .chair man, Representative "tneli, presid ing over the convention, Secretary Hurley and, others whoae names are by-words of the day' bad a frolic all their own. Dow and again they raised a picture of Mr. Hoover above the spe^kqr'a stand for those Wil ing below to me. Once Mr. Snell was able to ree | tore order, he Introduced I. B. Sand blast, of ^Portland, Ore., for the only other nominating speech ? that of Dr. France.' Indifferent attention was given to that speech, but the candidate, himself got plenty at Its end itheii *a fought to get a chance to nominate- former President Cool ldge. >7 Claiming it: was his right, France wits stopped by convention officials as he n eared the speaker's raised runway. He naa told he could not speak because he Was not a delegate. Police were called, aid they' hustled him back and down out of sight at 'the insistence' of those in charge. Leading off on the seconding speeches for Hoover was Mrs. Alvln T. Haft, of Louisville, who retailed the faith the party put in him four years ago at Kansas City and pro nounced Its wealthily justified. ^President Is Praised Amidst more cheering as she pro claimed that the support of women was assured, Qor. Wither M. Bruckr er, of Michigan, made his way for ward te second the nomination with like sentiments. One after another, Chairman Snell presented Representative Rath Pratt of N?W"To?k; Judge Prank R. Bent ley, & Wfsconsln; John ' M. Mar quess, ot Philadelphia, a negro; Mr*. Prank Mann, ot HuOtlrtfton, W. Va.; Roscoe Conkljat jBmmoas, of Chlca ( Continued on fan Three) N. C. Instructs / For Roosevelt DEALS STUNNING BLOW TO PRO HIBITION REPEAL v "ol. Freeman Delivers Fine Keynote Speech ? Clyde Hoey And Others Spnk ? All Play For Harmony? ? Platform Calls For Economy Aad Elimination of Unnecessary Stale Departments. Raleigh, June 16. ? North Carolina Democrats riding two prohibition horse* going In opposite directions, maintained a perfect poise as the steeds negotiated the antipodes, and In their state convention today lit on their feet when the thrilling ride ended. Majority Is Large By a ?ote so big that the wet mi nority did not call tor a summation of the. roll call against adoption of the majority report on the ninth sec tion of the state platform dealing with prohibition, the convention vot ed down the minority offering which called for a referendum on this vex atious national question. Nothing else in the platform got any sort of convention rise. The passionate In dorsement by name of Governor Gardner and his administration, the bill of particulars Identifying muck of the legislation which Lleutenaat Governor R. T. Fountain has repro bated In daily speeches promoting his candidacy for governor, got not so much as a whisper of protest. There was Attorney General D. G. Brummltt in the Granville delega tion from which country came the Brummltt manifesto of Saturday. The state's great lawyer, who Im mortalized himself during the past 12 years by furious repulsions of at tacks on the state record and ticket by eminent Democrats, sat as silently as the remotes delegates hailing from Hanging Dog precinct in Cher okee county. Foantala Is Absent Mr. Fountain, who synchronized his call for a second primary with a state convention today, was absent as were R. R. Reynolds and Camer on-Morrison, candidates for the Uni ted States senate, and Gov. Max Gardner who came not within a mile of the new city auditorium until the convention bad adjourned and the governor had been made chairman of the state delegation which will go to Chicago within the next 10 dayi. The governor being a controverted subject In this campaign, denied himself the chance to m^ke conven tion history. There were many calls for him, but none answered. The planks specifically Indorsing him and most of the big legislation of 1931 were not written into the platform without debate. But when the fin ished product came from the drafts men's hands there was not a volte In the state convention raised against adoption in toto the refer ence to the work of the outgoing executive. All For Harmony All candidates in the second pri mary were for harmony. Governor Fountain may have made It difficult to achieve with a statement In the papers this morning representing himself as called to carry his mes sage further into North Carolina. When the delegates assembled to day they were met at the main en trance of the city auditorium with a reprint of a Wilmington Star editor ial entitled "Brummltt's Attack." It was difficult to get the significance | of this expensive distribution. There was no comment except that of tke editor. On the whole the produc tion was hostile to Governor Gart ner. The Implication in the article was that the people like bosses. The thing has been suspected of ten. But whether they do or not they did not appear to relish greatly the Brummltt assault. Mr. Brum mltt showed no great enthusiasm for a follow up. He has shown all the week quite a willingness to rest. The prohibition question was less easily handled. It gave great trou ble to the platform committee which had quite an insurgency on It despite the reiterated charges of machine rule. Assistant Attorney General W. D. Slier was on that board and so was Larry Moore of Craven. And Mr. Slier never has been crasy about any sort of prohibition. FoxhaU Protests When the exceedingly meaningless plank on prohibition was offered H. P. Foxhall, ot Edgecome county, jumped up and offered his minority report. Mayor J. L. Wiggins, ot Chowan, Seconded. Mr. FoXhall simply desired a ref erendum. The state delegation to Chicago was to have been Instructed to frrfcr a platform declaration (or ascertaining the will of the people <5T "The several states for the reten tion, repeal or modification of the 18th amendment. \ First and second district dales* (Continued on Page Three J, ^ssmomsm mmmmam
