PLATFORM FOR LABOR AND
CAPITAL: —All things whatsoever ye

so to them: for thi- is tiie law and the
prophets.—Matthew 7 :12.
MR. BLAIR FRANK.*
David H. Blair. Internal Revenue Col
lector. has just made public a report cov
ering some of the work of his depart
ment during the past year, and the very
frankness of the report is causing delight
among Democrats. I Miring the past sev
eral months Republicans in Washington
have had much to say alxmr the economy
of the Ilarding and Coolidge administra
tion. but the report of Mr. Blair shows
flue collecting neuiey for Uncle Ham ha
cost th:tr genial gentleman a nice little
sum. It fact the report of Mr. llfair
slioW' that it is costing more to collect
leverue-;now than it did during the Wil
son administration, although there is not
as intreh to collect. v
The I>cra tie national com milt tee
is delighted with the Blair report, arid
members of the committee have hailed it
with pleasure, surprise and comment.
"While reactionary republican orators
and writer.-." _lllie committee said, "are
boasting of the economy of the republi
can administration, tho annual report of
the cimutiissiouer of internal revenue ex
pos... the falsity of the boast with respect
to the internal revenue bureau by show
ing that the cost of collecting reqCnue has
increased from 53 cents on each 8100 in
1929. the jast year of tlie Wilson admin
istration. to 51.74 for each .*1(M) in 1023.
although the amount of revenue decreas
ed .*575.795.*55 in I:r_*3 as compared
wijji the ti.-cal year of 1022.
"Tin-.eommisioner s ligures of collec
tion costs furnish a stiiking comparison
no genuine democratic economy in ad
ministration with ihe pretense of repub
lican economy under a reactionary reg
ime. Here are the convincing figures:
"In 1920. when the internal revenue
of the government were at the peak, it
cost $29.(547.4:»9 to collect .‘55.407.2N1.K1.
"In 1923 it cost 545.475.0tHt to collect
82.021.227.57.
"1 nder the existing republican admin
istration the rule seems to have been the
smaller the revenue the greater the over
head.
"Some of this increased cost of col
lection is attributed to the auditing of
old income tax returns, one of the results
of which auditing is shown by .the fact
thar during 1923 refunds of faxes
amounted to the unprecedented total of
8123.992.52 ti as compared with 814..000.-
IHii i„ 1920.
"This auditing of old returns and the
making of refunds thereon revived the
old / subject of the amount of delinquent
taxes due the government. Some esti
mates place this as high ass 51.000,000.-
990. but as the details-both with resAebt
to the tax returns and the refunds Are
secret there is no way t of obtaining the
amount of the delinquencies nor the reas
ons tor the refunds."
PRAISES PIEDMONT SECTION.
‘‘The more i see of this great Pied
mont section, the more I appreciate its
tremendous natural advantages 21s a site
for textile mills and other manufactur
ing enterprises." declared Edwin* Farn
ham Greene. Boston multi-millionaire,
who was on a visit to Spartanburg and
other Piedmont towns last week.
"I have been to this section five times
since last June."* continued Mr. Greene,
“and the more I see of it the more it
impresses me as a great potential region
where manufacturing is to attain a won
derful growth and diversity. I believe
That the section is going to realize some
great* things—things in which local men
and interests, as well as those from' the
north, and east will figure. I want to
see more and more of local ownership
of milbu. in faifl, L hope the time will
soon come when the southern plants of
the Pacific Mills’, the 40.0u0.900 corpor
ation with which I happen to be affiliat
ed. will be largely southern owned and
when southern brains will be
their operations."
While on a reeepf trip to the South
Mr. Greene was honor guest at a ban
quet in Greenville, S. C., and during a
' \ >
speech made £.t the banquet be addressed
his hearers as “fellow citizens" and
through the address he often used the
expression • "we" and “us" with refer
ence to South Carolina.
“I want to say gentlemen." he con
tinued. “that 1 am somewhat of a south
ern man. that I feel very much at home
down here." and then added smiling. “I
guess maybe I have about as much or
more southern stuff in me that some of
the men within the sound of my voice."
Mr. Gt-ecne. whose father. Stephen
Greene, was one of the founders of the
great firm of Lockwood. Greene & Co.,
has been in charge of various mills of
his company .in this state since 191(5, he
said. Lockwood. Greene & Co.. Mr.
Gseene said, were among the pioneers in
mill building in this section, “We built
the several mills at Pelzer and also the
mill at Tueapau in Spartanburg county,
which we have recently purchased, as
well as a number of others in this sec
tion."
Such men as this are not badly fool
ed about conditions in sections of the
country in which they visit. Mr. Greene
is a successful business man, and the
fact that his company is spending thou
sands of dollars in the South today backs
his utterances that the Piedmont sec
tion is the coming, section of theh South.
,* 4
QUAKES IN JAPAN.
While the recent disaster in Japan
was the most severe that the country
has ever known, with the greatest dam
age in the history of the country, it was
not the first by any means. Rev. R. If.
Gowen. D. D.. professor of oriental his
tory and languages and institutions -in
the University of Washington. gives
some interesting data concerning quakes
in Japan, declaring at one place that ihe
.Japanese attribute earthquakes to the
Vrithings of an "earthquake fish" living
underground with its head i*i the north,
where rumblings are comparatively rare,
and its tail between Kioto and Tokio.
where the tremors center.
The written annals of Japan began
in (545 A. D.. relates I)r.- Gowen and
tradition tells of two earthquakes prior
to that time, one in 41(5 A. I), and one.
particularly destructive, in 599 A. D. In
the period covered by writing lie listed
the following:
K.*.*» A. D. a great earthquake in Kyoto
attributed to the defeat and slaughter of
the' Taina clan. The surface of {liv
en rth wits quivering for weeks.
1590, Two great earthquakes. August
39 and September 4. across the main is
lamfi (h-aka eaetle baldly damaged.
Temples and houses throughout the city
fell in a moment. Seven hundred ladies
of the, imperial court were killed.
1(954 A. D. Earthquakes shook Japan
for an entire month. They were attrib
uted to la< k of virtue on the part of :he
empot-or whose abdi- at ion was forced.
17.03. Great earthquake, followed in
1707 by the great eruption of Fujiyama.
Yeddo castle almost destroyed and 37.099
lives lost in Yeddo. A tidal wave swept
away 100.000 people in three districts.
I*o4. Earthquake and tidal wave de
stroyed Shiindda. The Russian freighter
Diana lost.
1*55. Tokio wrecked .by earthquake
and fire: 104.000 people perished.
I*9l. Earthquake over considerable
.part of main island, especially severe in
the north of Yipi.
1*93. Earthquake and eruption in Ky
ushi. Kagoshima, almost buried in a-l.es.
PRACTICE Ml ST BE STOPPED.
-4hie of the most serious phases of the
liquor traffic in the United States is
Hie frequency with which liquor is mix
ed with gasoline. Even in this country
where prohibition is in force, certainly to
some degree at least, many serious acci
dents are traceable to the mixture of
liquor and gasoline. The situation cer
tainly would have been worse, we believe,
if liquor could be procured in quanti
ties in the open saloon. For this reason
as well as many others, prohibition must
be defended.
"If. says the Hickory Record, “the
public highways of North Carolina are
to be reasonably safe, there must be an
overwhelming sentiment in favor of
the abolition of liquor. \Ve must not
be content with prohibition for the other
fellow, as was the case many years ago.
but insist on it for everybody in general,
and particularly those who drive automo
biles."
Public opinion can keep the drunken
driver off the roads all right, and it can
do it quicker than any other force in the
world. There are too many fools with
liquor and an auto on the roads, and
instead of being a menace to themselves
they are a nuisance and danger to every
one they meet. There should be jail
sentence and nothing else fqr the man
'who drives an auto while under the in
fluence of liquor.
GETTING, FACTS.
The Federal government has senet to
the South a number of special agents to
make a survey of farm conditions. These
agents are to collect accurate data as to
what the South is doing agriculturally,
and in addition to securing data they are
also making photographs which will be
kept as permanent records in the Feder
al Agricultural department.
According to reports these photographs
are wanted as evidence to prove just
what tlie South is doing. It is claimed
by some that reports of the South’s
progress agriculturally is not believed in
sosme quarters. People of tlie west and
east, it is stated, find it hard to believe
that the South is actually farming along
modern lines, and for this reason spe
cial agents have been sent to progressive
Southern States to get actual photo
graphs. They are to photograph grow
ing crops, land under cultivation, live
stock, machinery used on the farm and
farm homes. These pictures will be un
disputable evidence of the fact that the
South today is farming on a sound ba
sis.
One of these agents has been in Rowan
county recently, and there he made a
number of photographs. He will visit
other progressive counties in the State
where most modern farming methods are
used and where there is an abundance
of pure bred cattle. North Carolina
within the past 20 years has made great
strides agriculturally, and the data and
pictures collected in this State will be
proof enough of the State’s progress.
WHAT TILE RATS ifESTROY.
The Charlotte News quotes Frederick
Haskins as declaring that in 1919 rats
in the United States destroyed $80,000,-
000 worth of food and other property;
in 1910 the amount destroyed was SIBO,-
000.000: in 1919 it was 8300.000,090.
and this year rats are expected to
bring about a destruction of $1,000,000,-
000 worth of property.
The News also finds that “rats are
among the most efficient carriers of di
sease that have to be reckoned with.
They have taken bubonic plague all over
the world. Their connection with scar
let fever, with typhoid, with diphtheria,
meningitis and tuberculosis is also be
ing investigated by the authorities with
the belief that they will be able to asso
ciate the rodent with tho prevalence of
the pestilence caused by these outbreaks.
Rats are flea-infested which itself is
enough to make (hem dirty and danger
ous.
“This is one destructive agency in the
world that ought to be exterminated. It
is a staggering liability fei the view of
the economist and evidently it is also a
frightful menace to health and life in
the view of the scientist."
Governor Pinchot is receiving congrat
ulations from all parts of the country as
a result of his efforts in bringing tfie an
thracite miners and operators togeth
er. The Pennsylvania Governor began
his efforts to bring about . peace in the
anthracite district after a strike had,
been called on September first, and af
ter all other agencies had been unable
to bring peace. Governor Pinchot talked
very plainly to both the miners and the
operators, and this frankness had much to
do with the success of his efforts. Gov
ernor Pinchot also gave thought to the
arguments of both parties in the strike:'
and he asked neither side to make al! of
the concessions. He was able to see the
side of the miners as well as the opera
tors. and when he asked each side to
make concessions he was able to get re
sults.

ILLINOIS RESTORES COURT
WHERE LINCOLN PLEADED
Where Lincoln Pleaded Cases With
Robert A. Ingersoll and Others.
Springfield- 111., Sept. 12.—Restoration
of the old courthouse at Metamora.
W oodford county, last remaining in
which Abraham Lincoln pleaded cases
in the old circuit days with Adlai
Stevenson and Robert Ingersoll. has
just been completed.
E. S. Martin, supervising architect of
Illinois, who lias been studying his
torical spots and buildings for years,
general charge of repairing and
restoring the structure, which had been
changed so much that Lincoln, were he
to have seen it. would not have rec
ognized it.
The original lines of the courthouse,
according to Mr. Martin, were very
good. It was built on the classic models
so often found in New England and .Vir
ginia—portico of four doric columns
surmounted by a tower and belfry.
But the building which was erected
in the forties was remodeled in INTO.
Two wings were added and he portico
removed. Thot old stairway in the rear
of the building had been taken out and
an outside stairway constructed where
the portico had been.
There was a photograph of the court
house as it originaly appeared, but even
the memory of the old settlers failed to
toll L. L. Tobias, state superintendent
of construction, what the first floor
plan was. He set out to discover the
location himself.
By-carefully examining he walls, he
found a place where a partition had
once been. He tore up a portion of tk.e
floor, and found the hole boarded up
when the stairs had been removed. What
kind of a stairway it was nobody khew.
Finally in the basement of a private
house, covered with the- (lust of decades,
he found portions of the old banister.
From this fragmentary evidence he re
constructed the stairway as it looked
when the legal giants of another age
.ascended it to the circuit courtroom.
