DEMOCRATIC SUPPORT FOR MEL
‘ I .ON PROPOSAL.
The fact that Senator Walsh, of Mas
sachusetts, is not only Chairman of the
Democratic Senatorial Gampaign .Com
mittee but is a member of the Senate
Finance committee is taken by the New
York World to mean that the proposal
Secretary Mellon to reduce the tax rate
on' earned iqcymy> will have the support
of «&* Jjemo^rats’'in'thy next Congress
In view of the high positions lie holds.
Senator Walsh’s “declaration in favor of
the tax reduction for immediate effect by
the coining Congress is accordingly of
great significance" says The \\ orld.
which adds that “the administration par
ty on this issue will have large supi»ort
in general if not in .detail from the Dem
ocratic side of Congress."
These conclusions seem wisely arrived
at.' Demis-rats have always favored low
taxes on earned incomes and they caunot
afFord now to oppose these tax reduc
tions just b«cause they are proposed by
a Republican Secretary of the r l reusyry.
The Mellon proposal would distinguish
between the earned and unearned iucomes
.and give the former the lower rate, and
as tbe Democratic party has always ca
tered to the ’‘average'' citizen-its lead
ers in this instance must follow the Mel
lod lead or start new tactics. '
The World thinks it is especially im
portant that a distinction should be made
between the two kinds of incomes. It
says "“to tax the* two kinds of income at
the* sain* rate, as now has long been rec
ognized as unjust. Earned income or in
come from wages, salaries and profes
sional serviec*s. i>, as Secretary Melton
says, ‘uncertain and limited in duration t_
sickness or death destiny s it and old
age* diminishes it.’ But an income from
business or investment ‘continues; it
may be disposed of during a man s life
and it descend* to his heir* at his death.
“The distinction between the* two is
clear. The* injustice of treating both
alike* by the taxing power is equally
dear. It is a distinction, moreover, eas
ily determined in the assessment of in
c«me taxes. No jant of that great work
- is open to greater certainty, Groat Brit
ain corrected this injustice* nearly twenty
years ago. and (treat Britain s experi
ence since lias shown the easy practica
bility of applying the correction.
There may be*"enough “pull” from cer-_
tain sources to defeat Mr. Mellon s plan,
but at any rate he Jias stirred up gre at
interest in tax reduction, and the cpies
tion is certain to lx* due of the most im
portant before the- next session of Con
gress. And it will be* more important
after tin* bonus question comes into it.
Threrle will be a determined light, es
pecially if it is shown that there can be
no tax reduction u #d a bonus at the
same. time.
the C HAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Definite progress toward tbe formation
of a Chamber of Commerce in Concord
is being made now. and there seem* ev
ery reason to believe that within the
near future the city can boast of a live,
active chamber. It is to be hoped that
this dream will be realized. The cham
ber is one of youcord’s greatest needs
now as it has been one of her greatest
needs for the past ,20 years. We have
lost much business because we hud no
definite organization to go after it, and
in many ways we have been the loser
because there was no Chamber here.
n C t Forbes, one of the best know n
business experts in the United States,
a man who has spent his life studying
business conditions and the elements that
enter into succesful business, is. of the
opinion that an active president a#d sec
- retary of a chamber of commerce fire
almost priceless possessions for a city
that wishes to go ahead. In this connec
tion Mr* Forbes says:
Things iu the business «ud financial
world flout simply happen. Men uiak*
them happen.
America has'gone ahead largely be
cause it has many men of tbe brainty.
forceful, progressive' type. China, prob
ably fully as ricn in resources, has stag
nated because it has had an inadequate
mmber of bra...y. forceful. pr«»gressive
giants.
Whenerer I visit a city or town. I try
to find out the kind of men filling two
offices, namely, the presidency of the lo
cal chamber of commerce and tbe secre
taryship. And I have time and time
again noticed that a town’s progress is
influenced very considerably by whether
or not it has ideal men for a capable,
enthusiastic secretary of its principal
business association is short-sighted.
Within twenty-four hours after it be
came known that I was to visit Seattle, a
wire i-aine from Frank Waterhouse, the
very earnest and diligent president of.
the Chamber of Commerce, inviting me
to address tbe members. And when I
reached the city, the secretary of the 1
Chamber. Christy Thomas, handed me a
neatly-bound book which. I found, con
tained almost all the information and
facts and figures which I thought I would
have to si>end days and days iu gather
ing. The whole of this matter had been
brought up to the minute.
“We figured.” remarked Spore; ary
Thoinas/ when he handed me the wonder
ful compilation, that you might want the
larest data about our city and our state;
so we tried to get together just what we
thought you might find usefud."
A Chamber of Commerce secretary
such as I found Christy Thomas to be is
worth many thousands of dollars a year
to any sizeable city that wants to pro
gress.
Concord plans to have a real chamber
of commerce if the organization is given
enough support to bc fully organized.
The organization will mean great things
not only to Concord but to tbe whole of
Cabarrus county and we should support
it in every possible manner.
HOW COME?
The former Herman Crown IVi nee; ac
cording to newspaper accounts, is keep
ing rather well in seclusion 'since re
turning to his native land. He is not
having much to do with the people who
live near his home, so far as entertaining
them is concerned, and lie is not having
much company. But he is giving thou
sands of pounds of meat and potatoes to
the i*»or. and showing interest in then
well-being. This very fact brings out
one point French have stressed all
along. There is niouey in Germany all
right, even if the working das* hasn't
any. How is it that the forme* cifsicu
prince is able to supply so much food
when other people can’t get it? How is
it that he ha* so much money? He is
among he favored few that took every
thing in Germany just after the war.
They have it now. regardless of the fact
that the working people have nothing. If
the Germaus eould get this money
from Frederick William. Btinues and the
like there would be enough to pay the in
demnity demand by the allies.
r THE “DIPLOMA MILL.’
According to investigation* being con
ducted in Connecticutt, a ring of men
have beeome wealthy iu the past several
years by conducting a “diploma mill."
where a man was able to secure a physi-
license after taking a short course
and paying a niee sum of money. The
actions of these' men was first investigat
ed when a number of persons in various
Connecticut towns died, and their “doc
tor" disappeared after investigation was
made. ' , •
If these facts are substantiated, and
there is every reason to believe they will*
be, the men fostering this scheme should
pay dearly. Think of some man send
ing SI,OOO or some other sum to a person
and receiving in return a diploma from
what appeared to he a reliable medical
college, and then taking that diploma and
feasting on the public with it through
fraud. It is believed that one of the
) -.iien who held such a certificate was re
sjioiisible for the death of seven persons.
He cannot be found now.
The leader* and members of this
crowd of “doctors” should be hunted to
the ends of the earth and published tq
the full liijiit of the law.
A PERMANENT GRAND JURY.
From many sources now are coming
suggestions and recommendations tint a
permanent grand jury be appointed to
serve in each county in the State tor a
certain number of months, each jury to
be succeeded by another to serve for the
same length of time as the preceding
one. Under this plan the grand jury
would have the same power given to the
.airy under the present law. The change
would 1 me.an a jury to serve for several
months instead’ of for one term of court.
According to The Stauly News-Herald
Judge Sinclair is in favor of such a sys
tem. While in Albeujarle recently pre
siding at Superior Court Judge Sinclair
is said to have spoken favorably of the
plan. Other judges have expressed a
similar opinion and flu* plan is being
sponsored by many prowineut lawyers
and laymen, also.
It does seem that the plan should be
given careful thought and investigation.
As The News-Herald says, under the
preseut system “the effort* of the grand
jury are so spasmodic and temporary that
their full force is but seldom felt in any
community. Tbeir investigation of coun
ty institutions is at best very hasty. Their
reittinuneudations oftcu are good and re
*ult in needed improvements, but with
more time for investigations the members
could bettpr inform themselves as to con
ditions - and serve ther county fully along
the 4 Une which now is necessarily sketchy.
The strongest need for u permanent grand
jury, however, iu these times when dis
regard for the is general, is in the
moral influence that body would exert
upou the county. The graud jury has
the right to informally investigate at its
’sittings ail tbiugp regarding the Viola
tion of laws. It may summon witnesses
and examine them in secret, or people
who would hesitate to have a warrant
sworn out against a neighbor may rej»orr
the violation to the grand jury for in
vestigation. The grand jury would be
a non-political institution with no axes
to grind. It could perform its dut£.uu-
Hampered by public opinion. The fact
that there was such a body, whether or
not it ever brought an indictment, would
have a salutatory effect and serve to sta
bilize respect for the law. A number
of counties in the state have adopted
this system and find it beneficial. Au
thority for the flange would have to be
given in a special act of the legislature."
W'e repeat, the proposition is one de
serving thought and investigation, ayd a
permanent grand jury could, we believe,
be a mighty factor for good in every
county iu North Carolina.
I)B. TOWNSEND “CALLED.”
Director Frank T. Hine*. of the Veter
an-’ Bureau, has answered the criticisms
of Dr. M. L. Townsend, recently made in
a formal complaint about conditions iu
the fifth district of the bureau. Ineffi
ciency is not characteristic of dealings
with former service men iu this district,
which embraces North Carolina and oth
er Southern States. Director Hines points
out. and favor has not been shown.
Tiie Townsend charges, the bureau di
rector intimates, were created on account
of jealousy and pushed through hope of
revenge. Dr. Townsend, Mr. Hines goes
on to say. was discharged from the bu
reau as examining officer, and the
charges were made through hope of re
venge.
J. I*. Watters, sub-district manager of
the Charlotte district, also denies the
charge* made by I>r. Townsend and goes
on to say that Dr. Townsend was dis
charged because his services were unsat
isfactory.
A full investigation of conditions as
they exist and have existed in this dis
trict was made iu connection with the
Senate inquiry into the bureau's work-*
in general, but formal report of what
the investigation disclosed has not been
made public.

Fort Worth, Texas, Nov. 22.—“ Stand

he started to pronounce sentence on
Dr. Frederick Cook, “b hat have you to
say for yourself ?”
iCook said nothing.
“So you can say nothing?” continued
the court. “You have come to the point
when your peculiar personality fails,
you. The twentieth century should be
proud of you. History gave us Anuanias
and Sapphira. They are forgotten, but
we still have Dr. Cook.
“Cook, this deal of your* is so dam
nably rotten that it seem* to me your
attorneys must have been forced to hold
their handkerchiefs to their noses to have
represented you. It stinks to high
heaven. You should not be allowed to
run at large. I know that you have
your ill-gotten goods put away, but your
wife and daughter should uot be allowed
to touch them. You have stolen this
money from widows and orphans. "S ou
s)iould start another company and dis
tribute it back to them.”
“Cook, have you no decency at all?"
the court continued. “Are yotr not
haunted at night by these pitiable fig
ures? How can you sleep? lam not
going to do justice in this case, for I
think that you will get it somewhere
else. You ought to be paraded as a

Judge Killits then passed sentence.

THE CONCORD TIMES
SQUAD OF l*. S- ARMY AVIATORS
j PLANNING TO ENCIRCLE GLOCE
Flight to Be Attempted Some Time Early
* in 1924.
Dayton. 0.. Nov. 22. —Sure tine in
tiu* enjir summer of 1924. foi-r <»r p *s
s:b;y army airplane* a*ill hop off
from Lolling Field, Washington, and
turn their noses to the west. Before
(their pilots again glimpse the nation’s
j capital, they will have traveled 30,00
I miles, crossed two oceans and almost a
score of countries and one reled the
globe iu the air for the first time in the
world’s history.
Such is the picture in the minds of
officials at McCook Field here, who,
under the direction of Army Air Service
headquarters at Washington, are mak
ing plans for the first round tne world
aerial cruise.
Tentatively, a route has been laid our
and two air officers are going- over it
with the idea of making recommenda
tions for necessary changes and com
pleting other preparation*. Lieut C. E.
Crumrine. of the -local field, now is iu
Icc'aud Reading eastdurd. while an
officer of the Philippines aerial forces i*.
working in the opposite direction. They
will meet Europe and « after comparing
data, return tothpir home stations.
The flight. designed primarily to
demonstrate the ability of planes to
operate away from their regular sup
ply bases during war times, will be
made iu comparatively short jumps. Flic
distance between most of the Stations
will be 500 miles or less, the longest
hop being approximately 850 miles.
A* laid out at present, the route to
be taken \y>uld not necessitate any sus
tained flight over open water- After
crossing the country from the capitol to
Seattle, Washington, the squadron,
would head northward through Canada
and after touching at Wraugel. Alaska,
would hop to the Aleutian Islands and
then to the Japanese archipelago where
several stops would be made. The main
land of Asia would be reached at Shang
hai. China.
For tiie trip across the Atlantic, al
ternate route* are available. One itin
erary calls for hops from* Aberdeen.
Scotland, to Faroe Island, to Iceland, to
Greenland and to the mainland of North
America at Frederikdul-Hamilton. In
let Canada- The other provides for the
European take-off at Duumore Head.
Ireland, and the more direct course to
Newfoundland and thence to Quebec-
Through continental Asia and Europe
the tentative itinerary would carry the
aviators to Shanghai. China; Mandalay
and Delhi. India: Choribar and
Bagdad. Persia: Damascus, Syria;
Aleppo and Constantinople, Turkey;
Angora. Asia-Minor; Bucharest. Itou
niania; Belgrade, -‘'Serbia; Budapest.
Hungary; -Vienna. Austria: Munich
and strassbourg, Germany, aud Baris
and London.
The cruise must start either late in
June or early in July, officials here be
lieve. because of the fact that in cross
ing the Pacific and Atlantic, the avia
tors must push far northward where
cold weather otherwise might be en
countered. No estimate of the time re
quired for the trip has been made.
While most of the stations where
stops would be made under present
plans, could furnish little other than
fuel and food for the aviators, prepara
tions wilt be made for the overcoming
of motor or other mechanical troubles.
Probably every third station will have
a supply of spare parts of various kinds
and severall spare engines will ho sent
to points where it is deemed possible
they may be needed.
College Coeds Earn Way ia Various
Lines of Work.
Evanston. 111.. Nov. 22.-* Sis hundred
men and women students at North
western University are working their
way through school this year, according
to figures pre.pared by university offi
cials. Fifty percent, of the men on the
campus are employed in part time jobs
aud 20 percent of this group depend en
tirely on their own earning* to pay
tbeir |vay through school.
The range of work being done by men
students includes clerking and waiting
on tables, house work, washing dishes,
cleaning windows, serving as chauffeurs,
night watchmen, motormen. tutors, hotel
clerks- and switchboard Operators.
The old fashioned college girl who re
garded work outside the curriculum a*
“demeaning.” is disappearing from tin'
university and a new type is taking her
place, said officials announcing that
maid service in the homes of Evanston
families is one of the more popular
positions that many Northwestern girls*
have accepted. Taking care of little
children during the* afternoon hours is
another job in which a number of girls
are engaged- Secretarial work also has
a strong bid for favor among the young
women students and not a few arc
working in the capacity of clerks and
stenographers in Evanston business of

WALTER HINES PAGE
Memorial tc Be Placed in the Hall of
History at Raleigh.
Winston-Salem, Nov. 2.3.—With a
view to honoring in an effective way
the memory of a distinguished son of
this state, whose achievement, both at
home and abroad, exemplified the best
' -in the ideals of the commonwealth. The
Walter Hines Page Memorial Commit
tee is launching a movement of state
wide proportions which will take rorra
in the placing in the Hall of History at
Raleigh of a memorial portrait of that
great North Carolinian. The purpose
of the committee is to provide, through
voluntary contributions from North Car
olina citizens, a memorial that will serve
in the years to come as a fitting tribute
to this distinguished editor, publicist,
diplomat and patriot, a man who has
not only beeu honored by his own state,
but wHo has the distinction of being
one of only three Americans to whom a
memorial has been placed, in famous
Westminster Abbey, Great Britain's his
toric shrine.
The memorial portrait which it is pro
l>o*ed for the Literary and Historical
Association of North Carolin-a to present
to the state is a replica of the portrait of
Mr. Page by the eminent artist Uaszlo,
now in the American*embasssy at Lon
don. The State Department has con
sented for the artist to make a replica
of this picture and he has. contrary to
his usual rule, agreed to do so. This
assures au original portrait of the high
est artistic merit and value.

Monday.
. All the piers have been installed and
Four of the ten spans have beeu poured
on the big concrete job. There is now no
danger of high water interfering* with
the work, and the schedule of the build
ers is for the work to be complete some
time in early January.
The highway contractors are. busily
engagtd laying hard surface road on the
Cabarrus county stretch. This work, how
ever. does not interrupt traffic to any
great extent, said Mr. Jenkins. The de
tours are short and well maintained-
There are some more than two miles be

ing. hut the difficulties are not so great
as to keep traffic from increasing daily.
This road, leading by Locust, short

Charlotte materially.
Good Crops in North Carolina.
Manufacturers Record, v.
The North Carolina Co-operative Crop
Reporting Service states that this year’s
•rop of corn, amounting to 56,835,000
bushels, is the largest since 1918, with
an average yield of 22 I*<2 bushels per
acre as compared with 20 bushels for
the ten year average. This indicates
'hat North Carolina farmers are getting
better resjilts in yield per acre in their
■orn. and that is true of many other
North Carolina products.
The North Carolina wheat crop of 6.-
33.3.000 bushels is the largest since
1020.
The cotton crop is estimated, includ
'ug the value of seed, at $174,000.0007
>r 40 per cent, more than last year’s
value, and more than 100 per cent/ in
excess of the value of the 1020 and 1021
Top.
North Carolina is fortunate in addi
tion to its main staples of cotton, corn
and tobacco —and tTTe tobacco cron of
3.37.000.000 pounds is 25 per cent, above
'ast year's crop —in having a verv wide
diversity of agricultural products which
largely add to the income of the farmers
of the state. The Agricultural Statisti
•ian of the Co-operatife Reporting. Ser
vice adds:
“With the fine diversification of N irth
Carolina’s crops, and especially the cash
crops so well distributed over the state,
we are particularly .fortunate in the ag
ricultural interests this year.”

Masterpiece For One Dollar. ,
Geneva. Switz.. Nov. 22.—A tourist j
walked into an art dealer’s shop in!
Geneva the other day and bought a small |
dirty picture for a sum’ equal to little
more than one dollar. He had the!
painting cleaned, and was surprised to
find the (signature of Guido Reni the
groat Italian master. If the work is
original it is worth a, snug fortune.

T rue Courtesy.
Courtesy is a widely-known but little
understood word, say The Falcon.
‘'Treating, a customer like a rich
uucie. so that you my extract his coin, is
not courtesy— that’s fore.-ight.
“Offering a seat to a man who enters
your office is not courtesy—that’s duty.
“Listening to grumblings, growlings
and groanings of a bore without remon
strance is not courtesy—that’s forbear
ance.
“Helping a pretty girl across the
street, holding her umbrella, carrying
her poodle—none of these are courtesy.
The first two are pleasures, and the last
is jioJiteness.
“Courtesy is doing that which noth
ing under the suu but human kindness
makes you do- Courtesy springs from
the heart: if the mind prompts the
action, there is a reason: if there is a
reason, it is not courtesy, for courtesy
has no reason. Courtesy is good will,
and good will is prompted by the heart
full of love to be kiud.”
