ONE NOTCH NEARER A TO COVETED GOAL HARDING TO MARCH FURTHER REVENUE IN BIG PROCESSION Oil ARB DAY 'Greensboro Man Nominated for Job As Collector of Revenue In North Carolina HIRAM JOHNSON MAY ; BLOCK CONFIRMATION Secretary of Republican State Committee Ridiculed Califor nia' Senator In Addition To 'Betraying Him at Chioago; Oriisom Alio Distributed Linney'i Letter To Women The News and Observer Bureau, 80S District National Bank Bldg., By EDWARD E. BRITTON. (By Ppecial Leased Wire.) Washington, Oct. 4 After many weary, weary months of waiting Gil liam Grissom, of Greensboro, secre tary of the North Carolina State Re publican committee, is right up at that political pie-eounter with his platter ready. This afternoon President Hard to the Senate for . the position of eol lector of internal Tevenne for North Carolina, ana iuri is nothing now between Gilliam Gris om and the job except the matter of confirmation. As soon as the nomina tion haa run the gauntlet of the com mittee his fate will be in the hands of the Senate. Will he hare easy sledding or it it to be rocky road that he will travel! That depends. One factor to be considered in the Grissom nomination is as to the at titudo of Senator Hiram Johnson and his allies, and if they conclude to fifiht the nomination whether they can e 'eure enough Democratic nid to defeat it There are reasons why Senator Johnson will fight the nomination out side of the fact that Mr. Gnssoin was one of the delegates from North Caro lina to the" Republican National con vention at Chicago when Senator John Son claims ho was "li .rayed' by Grissom not voting for him as the Re publican presidential candidate as di rected bv the North Carolina prefer ential primary. Ono of these other nasons is that Gil'iam Grissom has publicly sneered at and laughed at Senator Johnson in his aspirations for the North Carolina vote for the presi dency, did this so openly that the newspapers told of it. Ridicules Johneona Chance. This jollification of Mr. Grissom's took place in Greensboro on the night of IS, U" jew. Ua that night David H. Blnir, Winston Salem was on his war to Washington, his nomination I for commissioner of internal revenus r v : ; tk Kpnntnr John son wis fighting it. Mr. Grissom told L'viug :my i w of Mil -Blair's confidence. In a -spec-' ial to the Charlotte Observer'' f rom Greensboro there occurs this: "Mr Grissom went into the why and where fores of the situation, the reasons why Hiram Johnson stand no chance what ever, not only in his fight against the confirmation of Mr. Blair but also in his fights against confirmation of other rganraition Tar Heels. Johnson's eontenton that be ehold have had the support of the North Carolina delega tion st the Republican National con vention for the nomination for th presidency is laughable, Mr. Grissom thinks:" Another reason that may bring a lit on the Grissom nomination is that he was one of the trio of alleged authors of the famous or infamous, as you choose, letter of then Republican State Chairman Frank A. Linney, to ''the vihite women of North Carolina,' the letter which Chairman Ijnney in his pursuit of the job of District Attornev swallowed whole when the negroes were hot after his scalp. Grissom as secre tary of the Republican t-ta!o commit' tee gave his approval to the letter find eent it out from headijuarters. He may have Some rsplaii ing to do to his fellow Republicans in the Ren ate who depend upon their po'itical brothers in black for the votes to put them across when the rolls are opened. But as against all .of this the Gris snra nomination will have the backing of the Harding administration with the favor of Commissioner Ulair added and the repeated defeats of Senators Hi Johnson, Borah and their aides may have sickened them of the fight and that the rest of the "hog combine' North Carolina Republican slate will get through without any hard firht against H. This dors not include the nomination of J. L. McCaskell, of Fay etteville, for collector of the Tort of Wilmington, which i said to have beer in the hands of President Harding for some months, held np hecauy of the strenuous fight the former Senator Marion Butler Is making againt Mc Caskell, for whom he has no use. Nothing For House To Do. "All dressed up ami no where to go" is the condition in which the House of Representatives found itself today wheu it met sfter the ""gentleman's agree ment'' of recesses for three di.ys at a time since the reconvening dato of Sen tember 21. The expectation of Remit liean Leader Mondell had been that by October the Senate would have ground out some of the big legislation over which it has lieen fuming and fretting tor months, hut there has been nothing doing that esn be sent back to the House for tt to whet its legislative teeth on ch there is to be another period of marking time for a week or so for the aouse with the hope that Senate inde cision will change- to Senate decision and send over some business that calls for attention. But right now the Sen go is yawning itself along with listless debates on- the tax revis.on bill, with an occasional inroad jnto the trend of vte f speeeb 4hV peace -trestles.

Tobacco Appeal Dismissed By Board Of Equalization County of Rockingham Wins Fight Against Rebate Sought By American ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES WITH COUNTY Board Refuses To Duplicate Recent Gift of $110,000 'In Durjiam "The" State Board of Equalization took Junius Parker at his word yesterday when he declared that he. would rather have the American Tobacco Company lose its $13,000 tsi rebate in Rocking ham county than have the public think ill of his corporation or its motives, and threw his case out of rourt. Motion to dismiss the appeal of the tobacco company, offered, the opening of the hearing, precipitated tt two hour argument in which Mr. Parker pleaded for the waiving of tedniiealtiea, for malities, and even kindly benevolenco toward "crrora of counsel" that were made the basis of the contention that the corporation had no recourse. Question raised by the attorneys for the eounty at the outset attacking the power trf the' Board Id tjaT'irpUtJon from the corporation since it had' neg lected to - mpiy with the formal stat utes was kept well in the foreground, aud the petitioner had no occasion for extended attack upon the values com plained against. The hearing revolved alogether around the legal aspects of the. case. Manning Settles Issue Attorney General James 8. Manning, vliiS6 ducisioii opened tfic n.i.v for the hearing of tlio petition from tho Ameri can and liggett and Myers companies on their Durham, county exception that led to a reliate of $!10,UD(ik ussuuicd the responsibility of tho ikiarj's action when he offered the opinion that the company's neglect to include the Rock inghain properties in its exceptions, precluded it from any further conswior ation. The opinion naa lengthy in its re view of tho circumstances that, led to the re opening of the Durham case and its culmination in a gift of 11U,IH)U to the tobacco companies, and in its ex plantation of the interpretation of law tliut shut, the AiiieiieiiM ToUu-co t'wiu pany off from any recourse in Rock ingham county. 'rror of counsel" cited repeatedly by Mr. Parker to explain why the com pany had not incluiled Kociiingham county property in the general oinmhus exception to the valuation set by thu Tax Commission, probably saved the (jounty from being included in the con fniued exception that was used as the bas.s of tlio Attorney Generals opinion that thcl'.or l r,,uM r. i.jj. n the r The Rockingham eounty case differed from the Dumam case ill the detail thai the taxes hud already been paid, and without protest. J' 1 1 o tax was never paid in Durham county, and new exceptions were hied as often as prior exceptions were denied Ly the Tax Commission. These tactics, in the opiuion of the Attorney General, kept the appeal alive. No such auMenaneei ) provided for the 2,92j,U!3 worth of property in Rockingham, and it died before Section 1171' of the Consolidated Statutes. Law In The Case That sect.ou was made the basis of the motion of the county to iI'-miis the case. It provides that protest must .Tceompany the payment of taxes, that demand for repayment must be made within thirty days, and that if no! paid, suit for recovery must be started "ithin 90 days. None of these 'for malities and technicnlties" had been observed, an 1 the case was dismissed Murray Allen, appraring on behalf U the county, sprung 4he motion to dismiss at the outset of the hearing. Mr. J'arker, chief of the staff of coun sel retained in the New York office of the American Tobacco Company, "as on hand to combat ,4he motion. He had not much fight to offer afttr the county had submitted evidence that the taxes had been paid without pro test, anil that no action for redress had been taken, although the taxes were paid J2u days ago. ProtrsU Formalities Mr. Parker retired behind the plea that the board of equalisation was no proper plac for tha . argument oi technicalities. He said that the whole cas had been characterized by informality, even in its earlier stages of protest to the old tax eommi-i .:i. letters had bees written instead i i lormai service oi exceptions. Juslo-e snd equity, he claimed, was what the (Ctlard p.(( J,.! V I F, Worth Carolina Committee Re ceiving Applications; Terms Very Reasonable cr, North Carolina ought to endeavor- to get its share of the billion dollars the government proposes to loan for agri cultural purposes,'' said Col James R. Voung, chairman of the U. S. Agricul tural loan Committee for North Caro lina. Othefrs, who with Cole Young con stitute the committee, are Dr. B. W. Kilgorco f Raleigh; C. E. Taylor, of Wilmington; C. M. Hauser, of nigh Point, and S. F. Austin, of Nashville. The committee held a mocting here yesterday and among the business transacted was the hearing of a banker who wanted to borrow $.T0u,000. He was given the terms on which he could ne gotiate the loan, and the committee, if he can famish the proper security, will promptly get the money for. him from the. War. finance Corporation. Loans are made only to' banks and trust companies and only for agricul tural purposes. If a bank has $jfi,000 out on agricultural loans It can borrow that amount from the government through the North Carolina committee. Of course it must give absolutely good security. Loans are made mostly to State bankers as the National banks aro cared for through the Reserve Bank at Richmond. No Loans To Individuals Loans are not made to Individuals An application came in a few days ago from an individual. He was told to go to his bankers, tell' them his needs and have them make opplication. The interest charges are 512 and fi per eent. Loans are for six and twelve months with renewal privilege to extend to not over three years. About one hundred inquiries have come in to the North Carolina commit-, tee. This is not as many as had been anticipated as the demand for farm credits has generally been understood to be very great. Col. Young has an idea that one reason applications have not eome in freely has been the feaix of government red tape. In this con nection he said that the rules had be ' liberalized considerably since the N Carolina commiMce. was first appoint and compliance with them now is not difficult. "Advances for agricultural purposes" are defined as advances "for any pur pose connected with the growing, har vesting, preparation for mnrki-, aed marketing of agricultural products, or I the b'eedinc, raising, fattening and msrxuting ot live stocx. Col. Young regards the opportunity now open to get money for financing crop and livestock productioi. as a most unusual one and when the banks he come well acquainted "vi'h the reaon able terms upon which the money is loaned, he expects that applications will be numerous.
