SILLPART l Getting Away With Murder In Escaping Taxes, Vau ghan Tells Rotary / Ohapel HJill, April 7 “Trucks un doubtedly wii'll continue to h,aul fltfvigiht over our highways and tthey should be pertmJi't/ted to do so, but at present they are getting away wiltih niurde rwlheti, It comes to paying tax es and escaping a uat proportion! of the cost of maintaining highways, to which they an? daily doing irrepar able damage,” W. R. Vaughan, of Henderson, president of the Railroad Employees and taxpayers As*socli«t t,ion declared h£re in an addlrt?ss be fore tihe Chapel Hiill Rotary Olu'b at its regular weekly meeting. “For years the railroads have been contributing largely to the cost of gov ei iumen t, and there Is no reason why ih 1 trucks Should not be regiulaited so as to contribute their proportionate share of this cost,” Mr. Vaughan ast serted. “At present they are being al lowed to give the railroads unfair competition, for ltlhi?> carriers spend big suanjsi yearly for building and maintaining their roadbeds while the trucks have their roadbeds maintain ed for them by the State With practi cally no cost.” Mr. Vauglhan said it was ridicul ous to believp the testtiiantoaiy of. “so called experts” to the effect that the trucks are doing no more damage to highways than do automobiles. Such testifony is usually bought and paid for and is without founda tion as to th, facts in the casv\” he said. “It is just like a lawwyer pay in gan alienist, to swear that his client is sane, regardless of how insane the client nthy appear:, Only casual ob servation is nem «3a.ry to show what great damage the trucks have al ready done to our' highways.” “We have spent 180 millions on our highways, mud wo know it is going to be practically impossibly to gelt oth ers built when these are worn out. All the railroads are asking is a fc/.r break. Let the trucks Use the toigh w;jS, but i/n all fairnctss to vrybody concerned, let Itiilm pay to help n a main their roadibeds and then the railroads will be able to meet their competitive ratios.

Jesus Requires 'Confession THE WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (The International Uniform Lesson on the above topic for April 9 is Mark 8:1:9:1 the Golden Text being Mark 8:34, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.”) By DR. ALVIN E. BELL. On this glad Palm Sunday or dur ing this Holy Week hundreds of thousands of boys and girls and men and women will do the very thing that Jesus sought in this lesson to get his disciples to do, viz-, to make public confession of their faith in Jesus Christ as their divine Saviour and Lord, Over tWo years of teaching and fellowship had preceded this exam ination through which the Master Teacher puts his pupils at Caesarea Philippi. They have seen his divine .power manifested in every conceiv able realm and form; they have lis tened to his marvelous discourses; they have been amazed at his perfect life. He is now ready for a new de parture in his ministry; he is about to set forth definitely his teaching about the cross, the necessity of it for himself and his followers. So, like a good teacher, he reviews the les- : sons of the past and assures himself of h ! s pupils readiness for what comes nert. He knew they were'ready* to make a clear confession of faith in him. His enemies might tempt ; hipij “seeking a sign from heaven,” but.hia discples need no further credentials, to certify them as to his unique peri-, sonality and mission in the world- • : Confession of Faith. Jesus began by asking them, “Whom do men say that I am?” They gave the various answers they had heard men give, “John the Baptist, Elijah, or one of the prophets.” But Jesus was more than a.prophet pointl ing to a greater one to follow. He was himself the goal and fulfillment of all prophesy. But religion is nothing if it is not made a vitally personal matter. £>c Jesus asks them pdly. ‘‘But who say ye that I am?” He evidently regards it of vital im port what men think about him and seeks to draw them out into confessr ing it, as later on he asked the quest tion, “W}mt think ye of the Christ? Whose Son is he?” On this occasion Peter became the spokesman for the twelve and voiced their faith as well as his own by sayy ing, “Thou art the Christ, the Sod of the living God” Matthew recounts how this confession of faith pleased our Lord, and how he commended Peter for it and declared his Intention of building and perpetuating h s s. church upon this faith which he i$ now rejoiced to see established in the hearts 'of his disciples. The Cross Emerges From this time there was a dei cisive turn in Christ’s teaching. Hert the cross emerges and becomes more eral courts to decide. Thus, while the members of the State Supreme Court leaned toward the Mac Lean plans they did not discuarage those mem bers of the assembly who have been supporting the bill providing for a convention this year. A number of the members of the committee on con stitutional amendments had' believed that the Waynick-Murphy bill might not stand up, but they are now will ing to pats it and leave any question of its validity 'o the Federal courts: The principal reasons for the ap parently overwhelming sentiment for a convention this year: (1) that the majority of the people in the State, whether classed as wet or dry, want to get the issue settled, and (2) that a convention this year 'sjiil tend to remove the issue from' politics- Un der the Mac Lean jilan, the controver sy would be Injected into the . 1934 elections, and many members of the assembly agree that this would mere ly result in a repetition of the -fight between the wets and the liberal drys arrayed against the Republicans and the ultra-dry element represented by the professional dry organizations, who are opposing the holding of a convention at any time within the next five pr six weeks on the ground that economic conditions might in fluence the vote on repeal. Most members of the assembly, however, realize that these dry or ganizations represent a minority sen timent, and that all the wets, and a good many of the drys, are willing to have the question settled and see no reason for any unusual delay. They point to the fact that the voters of North Carolina overwhelmingly supported Senator Reynolds, a drip ping wet, last fall, and that the re cent vote in General Assembly oil the question of legalizing beer was a clear indication, that .political office holders are no ‘longer afraid of a minority of die-hard drys, who stren uously opposed the beer bill and are now making an effort to delay in definitely the cailfPlT of a convention in North Carolina. r HENDERSON, (N.C.j DAILY DISPATCH, FRIDAY, APRIL 7 ' ‘ 1939 ' ” and more clear until his crucifixion is accomplished in less than a year. “He began to teach them, that the Son of Man must suffer many things land he rejected by the elders, and the Chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.” .This was not only a new and different ideal from what they had 'hoped for the Master, but it was shockingly abhorrent to them, so much so that Peter began to rebuke him for entertaining such a thought about himself. ‘Our Lord recognized in Peter’s offense at the cross the same old satanic suggestion that had come to him in the wilderness temp tation and rebuked it as of devilsh origin. He even went further and re vealed the necessity of the cross for thpm as well as tor himself: “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me ” Raixral Churches NEW SANDY CREEK BAPTIST.

When Peter was offended at the idea Jesus explained the necessity of the cross for them as well as for Himself. Beer Return Celebrated In Many Parts of Nation (Continued from Page One.)
