Kri 1 1 m l Tw Former Naval Secretary Says G. 0. P. Caused High Tax. Sneaking to an audience which Jammed Superior Court room with Its mixture of hundreds or enthu siastic Democrats and Republican admirers of a distinguished fellow North farolinlun, Joscp) Daniels last night showed himself no less aggressive than in tho days when he directed the destinies of the American navy, and no less con vincing a speaker or less pleasing a personality than he always has been. The court room was crowded I early, women being nearly as nu merous as men, and there was hardly standing room when Secre tary Hayden Grlndstaff of the Bun combe County executive commit tee, presented Judge Henry H. Ste vens as the presiding oltlcer. Judge Stevens said the meeting was an Imposing one and in its presence he felt happy to be a Democrat, and likewise the people of the State should be happy in that they have had 21 years of good Demo cratic government. He lit turn presented "that splendid Democrat and fine' gntiman, Louis M. Bourne" to Introduce the speaker. Mr. Bourne, who was greeted with applause, said reports had come In of political apathy In the Lcounty. The condition he did not consider surprising since Kepuo lican charges are too slight to wake the Democrats. All the Re publicans can find of complaint is that the Democrats have in creased taxes, and this statement is met by the fact that now not a cent of tax la levied by the State on real property. A further con trast is noted in the fact (hat in the 71 . Democratic counties the tax is 85 cents while In the 29 Republican counties It Is J1.05. He presented Mr. Daniels as "One of the outstanding figures of the world war from which he emerg ed admired even byithe Republi can party," and aroused applause with the statement that next to the stricken leader of the Demo cratlc party "Josephus Daniels is the outstanding figure on our side, one of the leading men of our country." Exnresslng his appreciation of the presence of many women Mr Daniels said he welcomed them as fellow citizens who would be a beneficent power in purifying poll tics. He then Dlunged Into pollti cal topics with the declaration that the Republican parry la engaged in the camouflage Business. This narty. said th speaker; in duced the country to, entrust it With the '(Brovernment with the suggestion that lt would do some hln toward stabilizing conditions and making the world better. But lt did nothing. On the contrary it let things drift in 1920 and 1821 and it Is still letting them drift In this connection Mr. Daniels stirred a volley of cheers with his (Wlamtion that Wooarow wnson was the greatest President since George Washington. n October 24. 1918. said Mr. Daniels, President Wilson made an appeal to the country, the same kind that President McKinley made at the close of the Spanish American war. warning the people that if there was division in tn critical -after the war period thore would follow clamity. Not Mere Bad Action But Nq Action Whatever What remitted, said the speaker. was that there was not merely bad action buv no action. The Re publican Congress refused to en act any c? the President's recom mendations, xney were nov unra obligations to do this but if they iia not theywerein honor bound hi nromulrate Dolicies of their own and this they did not do. Ther.! would have been a panic worse than In' Roosevelt's time but for the Federal Reserve banking act which the Wilson ... administration had enacted. This saved the country and the Republican party and the latter had an ooportunlty to show what it could do for the country. What it did or did not do may be told by Secreto ry Weeks of the Harding cabinet who declared that the Re publican Congress "Had touched th6 lowest ebb In our country' history." and by the Boston Tran script. Republican, which declared 'This Is the worst congress m zu years, As a matter or raci, remamsa Mr. Daniels, "tha Republican Con gress after promising to reduce taxes took oft ninety million dol lars from 4,800 persons, but not a cent off those whose incomes are less than $10,000 a year. Wrig ley.'the chewing gum manufac turer, gave 26,000 to the Republi can campaign fund and, Congress took $800,000 off his taxes, but you still pay . the same price for the chewing gum you buy," Now the Democratic doctrine," dtclared the ex-secretary, "is that taxes should be levied In propor t'on lo ability to pay, and if a ma t like Rockefeller can make us pay two prices fee gasoline lie ought to pay a larger tax than the man with a wii and five children, while the- Republican doctrine la; taxes should be paid in ability to con sume. Tho difference between the tax measures of Republicans, and Democrats is one of principle." Mr. Daniels emphatically sup ported the bonus plan and soundly criticised the Republicans for fail vre to mnke it an actuality.' Tha Republicans, said he, 'had half a billion dollars to give the railroads and a promise of guarantees of six per cent while the poor farmer had no guarantee Of anything and favors for profiteers but when lt came to paying a bonus to the boys wha went to fight they said the country could not afford it , Vhe applause was unexpectedly sugnt.

At the age of 11 months his mother died, tne death of his father followed soon afterwards. He was taken by his grandmother with whom he lived until he was about 11 years bf age. At her death he had to seek another home.i He was taken by a family who were to give him his board and an oppor tunity to attend school in return for the worls that he would do. This 'arrangement was not satis factory to him, as he found in a short time that it was all work and no opportunity to get an edu cation.

Msassi-a aa ftm r rans comment s-ees Lloyd Georga's-Fall as a 1 rencjaL.Victory. PARIS, Oct. 20. (By The Asso ciated Press.) Complete and rigid control of all German ' linances, power of veto expenditures and regulate taxation and authority to dictate the arrangement of the budgets of the various German states are, among the chief, pro posals . contained in the pla? - of the French Government for a so lution of Germany's financial diffi culties and for placing that country in a position to meet her reparations payments. The plan Was submitted to the reparations commission tonight by Louis Barthou, the French repre sentative on the commission and discussion of the project will be gin tomorrow.Although not men tioned in the felftclal summary, M. Barthou's plan contemplates a meeting of leading business men of the world to determine Ger many's capacity to pay and to consider the question of inter-allied debts. The .plan', in effect, is a reply to the British reparations project re cently placed before the commis si (fi by Sir .John Bradbury. It differs radically from the British point of view. M. Barthou urges the calling of the Brussels confer ence to deal with a broad repara tions commission to the application of new guarantees and reforms for Germany s leaving the more com prehenslve issues to an interna tional meeting. . The proposition would gradually put Germany on a gold basis be ginning with an issue of gold treasury securities. M. Barthou would have Germany pay her out standing obligations In paper cur rency, and he calculates that then Germany's paper circulation would be B10. 000.000,000 marks, which at the present rate of exchange are worth less than the Iteichs bank gold reserve. The French plan would so Inter pret the theory of prohibition of interference in Germany's inter nal affairs as to permit this radi cal control of German finances. The budgets of the various Ger man states would be supervised thoroughly to t prevent extrava gances, regulate expenditures and make provisions for Indemnity payments, A committee would be permanently established In Berlin and would have charge of the car rying out of all new reforms;- In .case Germany should refuse Im-, mediately to observe the new de mands, she would be declared In voluntary default by the commis sion under the provisions of the treaty of Versailles. A minimum of receipts would be fixed and a maximum of expenditures for Germany would be set. and Ger many would be required to float International loans at an oppor tune moment.
