And what satisfaction does he get out of murder? THE GAMBLERS KNOW Politicians themselves are not as sure and'certain erf the outcome of next Tuesday's presidential election as the gamblers who put their money up. In the party camps, the leaders are. inclined to be biased. They are inclined to boost their candidate in the hope that many will crawl on the bandwagon. • Gamblers don’t do that. They place their money where they are convinced it will win. So, 'regardless of the Literary Digest poll and 6ft others that indicate any hope of Lan don. winning, the betting favors Roosevelt, twelve to one in some cases, three to one in other*. Republicans who intend to support Landon are wagering money that Roosevelt will win. By what majority you ask? He should have 300 electoral votes. Victories in Nevy jork and Pennsylvania will make the victory even larger. It might develop into a landslide for the President. The Republicans have nothing to offer for the improvement of the country. Roose velt has brought prosperity back to this country and the only plea Mr. Landon has is “we" want the power to rule and disrtibute offices again.” CLAIM THEY’RE DEMOCRATS Tom Dixon, A1 Smith and a few other spellbinders sailing under the Republican Danner, claim that they are the real Demo crats and that the party has deserted its principals. That’s political strategy, that cam. ouflage to get a more responsive hearing and win those of weak faith to their side of the cause. Both parties have undergone a change in principles. The greatest change that ever came over any party, has come over the Re publicans. They have about-faced complete ly. Smith and Dixon, however, have a right to their views, just as much right to hold to their political convictions as anybody else. Hecklers have turned up in some of their audiences and that is old-time politics. Every political speaker should have a respectful hearing by those who voluntarily go and sit within ear-shot of his voice. There is no compulsion about attending a political speech and those who, can’t listen quietly to a speak er, should stay at home. We who are faithful and loyal to Roose velt and Hoey would resent hecklers in their audienaes, so Smith and Dixon should be ac corded the same courtesy and freedom of speech that we demand of our favorites. This js a cockeyed campaign. Thousands are changing their political affiliation and when the vote is counted we predict that more Republicans will support Roosevelt than Democrats will vote for Landon. LAYING ASIDE THE MASTHEAD ^The old masthead of The Cleveland Star has been laid aside. For forty years it ap peared at the top of the front page of this paper. With an inborn childlike love for his native county, Clyde R. Hoey chose the name when he was a stripling of a boy, wearing patched britches and getting the rudiments of an education as a printer’s devil. That workshop would today be considered crude and antiquated. And it was. Clyde Hoey’s brother, Ernest, handled that masthead with delicate care thousands of times in making up the forms. One who handled it so many times and saw it leave its imprints millions of times on white paper that went far and wide, is bound to feel a keen sentimental attachment. He should pre serve it “among his souvenirs.” Through the two score years, The Cleve- j land Star has striven for a greater county j and its efforts have brought forth fruit. While we do not claim ail the credit for the, progress the county has made, we take pride in the knowledge that it did contribute some thing. One room school houses are no more, ox carts gave way to automobiles, ignorance | has been supplanted with knowledge and the i world that was once restricted to near neigh bors has opened itself in infinite breadth. ■ Newspapers, radios, travel and transporta tion have brought to our doors the things that only the favored few could afford. Hence, the old m^thead is lifted and a new one set in its place. Our people deserve » mors modem nswspgj^r, serving the news j with more fullness and speed. As the Shelby Daily Star is bom, it is an infant to be sure, but one which boars a fine pedigree in the paper which supplants. The spirit and bene diction of The Cleveland Star is born into its very soul and will live with it through the years to corns. What Other Papers Say HOPES FOR SUCCESS Lee Weathers, of Shelby, is transferring his tri weekly "Star" into s daily paper. Practically every editor in the state has had some comment to make about the change and has expressed the hope that the venture will be successful, All of which is a splen did testimonial of Lee’s popularity throughout North Carolina.—Carl Goerch in State Magaslne . AMBITIOUS AND ENTERPRISING It is an ambitious and enterprising move being made by The Cleveland star and its owner, editor and publisher, Lee Weathers, in spreading out this spright ly newspaper from a tri-weekly to a five-day edition late this month. It indicates not only the aggressiveness of its proprietorship but the growth of Shelby and its en virons into a community which, in the estimation at Mr. Weathers, is large and progressive enough to sup port the sort at newspaper he now proposes to project. The Cleveland Star will be changed in Its name to The Shelby Daily Star and Mr. Weathers has con tracted with agencies for news services sufficient to present a complete newspaper (or the five days a week of its issuance, the Saturday afternoon and Sun day morning editions being held In abeyance for the present. Mr. Weathers is a capable and enterprising news paper publisher as his record of achievement with this Shelby property for the past 10 years has demon strated. He is widely popular in his profession as well as with the people of the community in which he was bom and reared and where he has an established reputation for business ability as well as for personal uprightness and Integrity. The Observer hastens to congratulate him upon the progress he is making in the field of journalism and. the community which his new dally will serve that it has such a competent and aggressive citizen as Mr. Weathers to minister to it In this Important and influential leadership.—Charlotte Observer. TO TWINKLE DAILY Newspapermen and Democrats generally over the State are interested in the announcement that The Cleveland Star, a thrice-a-week publication once pub lished by Oubernatroial Nominee Clyde R. Hoey, is to appear as a dally. The paper Is to appear in the afternoons with full Associated Press facilities, without which it is diffi cult for a North Carolina dally to make proper head way, and It wlU be replete with many of the most , popular, already established comics and other in ter I eating features. The periodical will be published five j days In the week, no Saturday afternoon edition be | ing scheduled tor the present. Business at congratulating Editor Lee B. Weath | rrs and other members of the staff who have been publishing one of the best smaller papers in the com monwealth for several years. Shelby Is a fast growing town and its population of ten or twelve thousand Is sufficient to support a good afternoon paper. Suc cess to the venture and may It always be fair weather tar Mr. Weathers.—Winston-Salem Journal. Nobody’s Business — By GEE McGEE __ HOW-DEE-DO, HOW-DO-TEE DO, MM.

The Jury said It was asphyxia tion: the banker said it was speculation. —Well, I was served with an ultimatum and a man damus and 3 rolling-eye glances and that meant that I was immediately on my way to the dressing room to dress up.

Washington ^Daybook By PBKSTON OIOVB (>■■■!■♦■< Ftm Staff Writer) WASHINGTON.—Senator Harri aon of Mississippi must have squirm ed In dismay when Jesse Jones, RFC chairman, suggested the pos BiUUltJ Uiak uie corporation sur plus tax act might be taken up tor revision at the coming session. Harrison, as fi nance committee diairman, labor id many weary weeks to get Che Mil In shape last session so it would be accept able to a major lty of senators. HtlSTOM L CMVf His labors sent him to bed for a while, right in the face of the pri mary campaign in Mississippi in which he had to fight for his poli tical life. He won. And new pleasure was his when it was announced at the White House on the eve of the Mis sippl primary < presumably as a bid for votes for Harrison) that no new taxes next session appeared neces sary. That spelled for Harrison a less arduous session. Relaxed "Kqoeeee” Seen Then «wm the Jonee statement flavored with what many in Wash ington sensed as White House ap proval. Immediately it was surmis ed the corporation "squeeze” with in the act might be relaxed. Under terms of the act this hap pens: A corporation can keep a portion of its annual earnings as reserve by payment of a small tax. As the corportion increases the proportion of its earnings held in reserve, the tax rises swiftly, so that more than half of the higher segments is taken. An escape is to pay earnings out as dividends. (Some argued wages could also be Increased). But as di vidends are paid, they are taxable as part of the income of the ones receiving them. Thus the "squeeze.’ Corporations protested the tax especially on two grounds—money laid away to retire debt was taxed on an increasing scale; earnings set aside for plant expansion also was taxed. • • • • Corporation Argument Now they are arguing: no plant expansion. no increased employ ment, no decrease in relief loads. Scanning that situation. Jones hinted some "inequities" might well be eradicated to help debt ridden corporations seeking expansion or plant improvement. Suggestions also have arisen for revising the capital gains tax. From Wall street comes hints that this tax may be crowding the mar ket upward. This is the argument: An Investor (or speculator, if you like) buys stock. It increases in value on the present rising market. If he sells it means a profit on the deal that will draw upon him a stiff income on the basis of capital gains. Bo, perhaps, his tendency is not to sell. The result is that fewer stocks are dumped back into the market to check its rise, and on up it goes. But there were many members of congress last session who liked the idea of taxing corporations and market operators. Off hand, it doesn’t look like much rest for Pat Harrison.

Last completed film of the late matter producer, Irving O. Thal berg, Pearl Bucks story of Chinese , peasant life, is being whittled from ! its first "rough cut" of 400 reels to j a release version of 13. Four years, three directors, in numerable writers and $3,500,000 went into its preparation and mak ing. Thalberg bought screen rights to the novel in 1033 at a reported price of $25,000. George Hill, direc tor, spent a year In China photo graphing "atmosphere" and col lecting 398 cues of "properties.” He brought back more than 300,000 feet of film. Diplomatic negotiations with the Chinese government, which wanted China to be done right by, were necessary. Chinese technical advisers swarmed over the Metro lot. Austrians Have Leads Shortly after his return. Director Hill was found shot to death, the fatal weapon nearby, in his beach house. But the production went on. Victor Fleming chose locations, started preliminary work—and went to the hospital for an operation. Sidney Franklin took over, and carried the job through to comple tion in August. In early stages, casting and lan guage problems had the Culver City lot a-dlther. At first an all Chinese cast, speaking Chinese, was considered. Eventually they cast Paul Muni and Lulae Rainer, both Austrian-born, as the leads, hired Tilly Losch, Austrian dancer, as the siren, and Charles Grape win, Walter Connolly, Jessie Ralph and Harold Huber—and trusted to make-up, acting art, and simple English. Most of the others are orientals. For crowd scenes as many as 1,200 oriental extras had roles— j and this embarrassed other com panies needing Chinese “atmos phere.” Metro combed the coast, and placed all the usually available English-speaking orientals under contract. Working on the script at various times were Frances Marlon, Du Bose Heyward, Marc Connelly, Tal bot Jennings, Claudine West. Tess Schleslnger and many other writ ers. Nearly a million dollars went into story preparation alone before the cast started acting. Principal location was 500 farm land acres 50 miles from Holly wood. Eight months were required to transform these into "typical Chinese terrain,” with terraced hills, fields, garden plots, and peas ant huts. The eight months includ ed growing Chinese crops, includ ing mustard, melons, onions, leeks. Weather a Problem Another set was an entire walled town of 30 acres, with a mandarin's palace, markets, bataars, rice fields. Then there was a city section in cluding prince’s palace and 10 con verging streets. Weather was a constant problem. During the market scene, for in stance, a heavy wind Mew joes pa pers, dried ducks, sails, banners and other bazaar goods into a nearby boulevard, some of it land ing in the laps of amazed truck drivers. Weather-guessing was a favorite sport for tftie actors. “Ribbing” Lulae Rainer was an other. LAKE JAMES FISHING SOON REACH ITS PEAK MOROANTON. Oct.
