Liberal Suggestions
Made By Conservative
Usually Discredited
B> CHARLKS P. STEWART
Central Prem Staff Writer
Washington, March 8. Whenever a
conservative say a anything, radicals
are ao la the habit of shying bricks at
him that they insttnetvely let fly in
his direction oven when he chances
to make a liberal suggestion.
For example, while it Is true that
President Silas H. Strawn of the Unit
ed States Chamber of Commerce pro
bably did not Intend to put himself
on record progressively, in arguing
recently that every citizen with an
annual income of 1.000 pr move ought
to "pay something” toward support
ing the government. In order to make
him “tax conscious.” he really was
expressing a very advanced Idea
Instead of recognizing it as an en
llghtened concept, however, all that
4he "common people's" spokesmen
s«eta to sense in President Strmwn s
utterance Ls a complete failure to
realize that no self-supporting citi
zen does escape contributing to the
government's upkeep.
A Payton (O.) newspaper published
by James M. Cox. former Democratic
presidential candidate, sums up liberal
rrkiclsm of Strawn's contention In a
forceful paragraph.
Bays this paper:
"The federal government, through
its excises and tariffs, levies on the
{necessaries of life taxes which In
crease their cost. Every cltixen, how
ever poor, who earns hia living, pays
these taxes, but
•'The taxpeyer doesn't know he pays
them."
Exactly. The average taxpayer has
no notion how he is being soaked.
Would he continue to stand it. If he
slid?
President Strawn wants him let in
on the secret.
One may justifiably wonder if
fitrawn has maturely considered what
he is advocating. If ever an admin
t rat ion was the creation and embodi
ment of just such folk as President
fit rawn and his United States Cham
ber of Commerce Associates, it is
.the administration in office now—and
he demands that all the people he
made as acutely "conscious" as pos
sible of the stiff price they are paying
for it!
But that's what he says. "Tax con
scious ' ” j
One of the brair.est men in congress
today is Representative David J.
Lewis of Maryland.
Pre-eminently he is a tariff expert;
was a member of the original federal

National Business Women s
Week Set Aside By Gardner

»■ the Sir Walter tletet.
NT J. O. HANKKRVIU
Raleigh, March 7.—This week has
been proclaimed as “National Busi
ness Women's Week" in a proclama
tion issued by Governor O. Max Gard
ner. In this connection It is recalled
that Governor Gardner was one of
the first and leading exponents for
woman suffrage in North Carolina
and that his advocacy of the ballet
for women In 1920 probably lost him
the nomination for governor at that
time. Since htal time, all of those who
opposed his position on woman suf
frage have come over to his stand.
The statement he issued is as fol
lows:
“The active participation of women
in public life in this country within
recent years has had most beneficial

TO RUN CAMPAIGN
FOR EHRINGHAUS

cause. The flrxt was the decision by
General Albert L. Cox not to become
a candidate. Cox was generally con
sidered the biggest single threat
standing in the way of the smooth
progress of the Ehringhaus campaign
craft. Many in political circles here
believed that If Cox had become a
candidate he would have made it vir
tually impossible for Ehringhaus to
get the nomination, even If he had
not succeeded in getting it himself.
One of the main reasons Cox decided
not to run, according to opinion here,
is that he found that Ehringhaus was
already pretty deeply entrenched and
that many of those he had been
counting upon to support him had
already given their support to Ehring
h&us. So, regardless of whether Cox
personally supports Ehringhaus, most
of the political thought here is agreed
hat Ehringhaus has greatly benefit
ed from his withdrawal, since it has
naped from the $50,80H Lind
bergh home near there. Th
Lindbergh home is situated in t.
isolated spot on a large estate.
results. Whether in business or in
government, their influence has been
a positive and constructive force. So
great has been this influence of wo
men in our public life and so com
plete has been their patriotism that
they are today no longer considered a
class set apart. They are as much a
part of our national life as thougn
they had from the beginning been
active leaders in business,
education and in government.
“It is with distinct pleasure that
I set apart the week beginning March
6 and ending March 12 as “National
Business Women’s Week.” I do this
in appreciation not only of the signal
contribution to the civic and social
life of our country by the Federation
of Business and Professional Wo
man’s Clubs, but also in honor of pa
triotic women everywhere."
averted about the only thing that
could have caused a split in the
Ehringhaus ranks. If Cox eventually
announces that he will support
Ehringhaus, it will, of course, heip
the Elizabeth City man still more.
The nairtig of| McLendon as his
manager Wnd McLendon’s acceptance
of the appointment is being inter
pretde as another indication of the
baste Ehringhaus strength in all sec
tions of the State. It is also being
interpreted as an indication of
Ehringhaus’ strength with the Ameri
can Legion, of which Major McLen
don has been an active and influen
tial member. Some think his selection
of McLendon may be a bid for addi
tional Legion support, though it is
pointed out that McLendon has dis
tinguished himself more in his legal
practice than he has in Legion af
faire.
That McLendon will be of tremen
dous assistance to Ehringhaus ip
western North Carolina in particular,
is the belief of many, because of the
part played by McLendon In securing
the conviction of Wallace Davis, for
mer president of the Central Bank
and Trust Co., of Asheville, and of
Colonel Luke Lea and Luke Lea. Jr.,
for McLendon, appointed as special
counsel by Coverpor €>. Max Gardner
to assist the solicitor in the proeecu
tion of the cases against Davis and
the Leas, is generally credited with
being the man, who more than any
one else, was responsible for their
conviction. This fact may turn some
of the Asheville and Buncombe coun
ty political leaders against McLendon
and Ehringhaus, but is likely to win
the general approval of the rank and
rile of the people in Buncombe and
the counties on west, according to po
litical belief here.
It is being reported here that A. J.
Maxwell Is also considered naming a
prominent American Legion man as
his campaign manager, and the name
of Major George Freeman of Golds
boro, Is being mentioned as a possible
choice, Maxwell maintains, however,
that he has not yet taken up the mat
ter of a manager with any one and
that he probably will not announce his
manager for several weeks yet. Sev
eral friends of Major Freeman here
maintain he would not manage Max
well’s campaign, even if he should be
asked to. He would probably have
supported Cox, had he became a can
didate, his friends say—might even
bave become his campaign manager,
But few class him as a member of
the Maxwell following.
Last week Maxwell scored two tech
nical knockouts on Ehringhaus. Now
Ehringhaus comes back with two on
Maxwell.
Spoken language is probably thous
ands of years more ancient than writ
ten language.
