Jefferson for Commission on Evangelism and Devotional Life A p FRIDAY, March 23 (Read John X1:36-46) ‘‘Lazarus, Come Forth” Difficulties drove Jesus to God, so did victory, and so did grief. In the cemetery at Bethany two sisters are weeping. Their brother is dead. Je sus weeps with them. In the midst >he weeping, Jesus prays, His first words are “1 thank Thee.” Grati tude like a mighty tide is ever flowing through his soul. Today he is return ing thanks for the assurance that God is going to assuage the sorrow of these sisters. Lazarus has not yet come back, but he is coming. Jesus has talked I the matter over with God and God I lias told him what He will do. - In this public prayer we get a glimpse of what had taken place in a private prayer. Jesus is going to get an an swer in public because he has al ready* gotten an answer in secret. It was by personal experience that Jesus had Teamed the* value of the inner chamber and had found out that the Father who sees in secret rewards openly. It is not for this isolated ans wer, however, that Jesus Is returning thanks, but because God ' answers him every day. Prayer: We confess, our Father, that, we neglect too often the inner chamber and forget to shut the door. It is the hubbub of the world which drowns Thy voice so that often we fail to hear what Thou art saying. Forgive us and we shall try harder to shut the door. Amen. by Joules Aswt.ll New York, March 23—New York police are good and bad, of course, like all mortals, but it seems to me that on the whole they handle diffi cult situations with a good deal of tact and geniality. From observa tions this reporter has been able to make of the force in action, the cur rent tendency to denounce the blue coats as “Cossacks” and tougghs, is unwarranted. For instance, I witnessed the cops breaking up a demonstration by a group of Greenwich Village artists and other afternoon. A hundred-odd paint-slingers were parading up and down the street, waving placards with said something about “Join the Art ists’ Union” and “Artists Want a Liv ing Wage.”' They were obstructing traffic and making themselves gen erally liuisancefull, it seemed to me, for few of the passersby were eligible to join and artists’ union. It was a sort of pointless furore. The police whisked up in emergency cars and had the exhibition dispelled in 10 minutes. There were no cas ualties, although one young esthete got his beard badly yanked when the cop was relieving him of his placard and the foliage got entangled in the card. There were no casualties despite a torrent of abuse heaped by the at t ists —and even by innocent bystanders upon the cops. The cops look it grin ning. And not a few of them, no l doubt, could hav coffered stiff compe tition in the flow of abusive epithet. Meanwhile, a young artist I know, who has had no time for demonstra tions or parades the past year, has just landed a fat magazine contract. He has been working. NEW DANCE IDEAS One of the town’s suavest dance masters whispers that he will soon introduce the custom in his smart salons of women leading and men fol lowing. “Women,” he tells me firmly, “al ways did like to dominate, and if they are allowed to lead at danccing it. will help their nerves and rid them of repressions.” Also, he sees no reason why the girls shouldn’t “cut in" when they like —tap the man on the shoulder and gurgle. “May I break?” TODAY TODAY’S ANNIVERSARIES 1899 —John Bartram, first great American botanist. whose garden, near Philadelphia, was known the world over, born near Darby, Pa.

C.j DAILY DISMtOH, FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1984 PKraDM Coastal Towns and Cities Don’t Want CWA Work There To Cea»e * Dully Uiwvateli l)«reua, In Ike Sir Walter Motel, Raleigh, March 23—A mosquito con trol consciousness is rapidly develop ing in the city of Beaufort, Morchcad City, New Bern, Wilmington and Southport following the drainage by nearly a thousand miles of ditches of salt marsh areas near these cities by OWIA labor. Where the work to prevent mosquito breeding by a net work of ditches has been temporarily halted because of a reduction in the labor quota, insistent public demand has arisen, for its continuation under relief funds or by county appropria tion, according to Dr. R. W. Leiby, State entomologist and State direc tor of pest mosquito control in North 'Carolina. Citizens in Carteret, Craven, Bruns wick and New Hanover counties have waked up to the fact that they do not need to put up with the an noying bites of mosquitoes, Says Dr. Leiby. A network of narrow ditches that drain depressed areas in salt marshes and which permits the in and out flow of tide water, prevents the maturing of the wiggletails, hence no flying and biting mosquitoes. “I think we will have a clear out Dr t Leiby, “That the mosquito men demonstration in these four,” says ace. can be materially lessened, if not eliminated. I would like to see this phase of insect control proven practically as one of the first steps in bringing coastal North Carolina into its own as a summer ocean re sort for water secretion, including bathing and fishing. Permanent re sorts will spring up to welcome the pleasure seeking public only after the mosquitoes are prevented from breeding.” About $125,000 has been spent for labor under the CWA to ditch salt marshes in four eastern counties since December 15. The work is continu ing in Craven, New Hanovre and Brunswick counties, though on a re duced scale. Income Tax Yield To State Climbs iContmuec irom tags One.) collections and those of last year would be at least $2,000,000 instead of only $458,171,” Commissioner Maxwell said. "W e have not had time yet to analyze these figures and determine just where this increase of $1,500,000 from other sources has come from. But it would seem to indicate that both private and business incomes were considerably better in 1933 than in 1932, thus reflecting a much better condition in business and in dustry generally.” The total income taes paid by the four larger tobacco companies this year amounted to approximately sl,- 100,000 as compared Vith approxi mately $3,350,000 last, year, a differ ence of more than $2,000,000. Commis sioner Maxwell pointed out. Thtffrea son for the drastic reduction in come taxes from the tobacco compan ies is the result of greatly reduced net earnings on which income taxes arc assessed, Commissioner Maxwell ex plained. The generally accepted ex planation for the reduced earnings of the larger tobacco companies in the State most of which make 15-cent brands entirely, is that for the past year tbey cut their wholesale prices considerably i„ order to permit deal ers o sell their 15 cent brands in compet.tion with the 10 cent brands Th.s reduction in price was largely absorbed by the companies and the -vm* passed along to the J su^ e _ Hearing Planned Coming Week On Cigarette Levies 'ConMnueri nom On* > normally retail for 15 c7^T a pack- When the farm price of leaf tobacco fell off in 1931-32 to the point where n^^ S , t 0 Brrowers were almost sloo, 000.000 less than the previous average the ten-cent package made its appeal ance. It quickly gained a market, de spite the lack of advertising. This lorced the “big four” to cut their prices to two packages for 25 cents, and even cheaper in some sections an din some chain stores. Clay Williams, of Winston-Salem N C., president of the R. J. Reynolds 1 obacco Company, testified at a hear ing in Washington that the ten cents a package cigarette has taken 20 per cent of the market formerly held oy the higher priced brands. Interstate Levies > On Sales Is Ncsr < Continued irr-m °wrt oat.) given a unanimous favorable report by the subcommittee of the House committee, of which Representative Jack Rayburn, of Texas, is chairman and the entire committee is expected to take similar action. While this bill has been represent ed as being an interstate “tariff” bill, it is nothing of the sort according to Commissioner of Revenue A. J. Max well, since it does not apply to any state that does not have a sales tax so that no state can levy any retalia tory taxes or “tariff” as a result of it Neither is it a new departure in taxation, since the same principle is involved in the Webb-Kenyo:: law which has been on the statute books for years. It merely provides that .when a resident of any state that has a sales tax orders a shipment of goods from another state, that he shall pay the same tax as if he had purchased these goods within that state, or that the person or firm from which he pur chased the goods shall pay it. Thus the bill protects the merchants in the states that have a sales tax of which there are now about 22, and also ser ves to increase the revenue of these states. WjUlard Dowell, secretary of the North Carolina Merchants Associa tion, says that at least $50,000,000 a year arc being spent in other states by North Carolinians because of Lie sales tax and agrees that this bill would serve to keep a large pail of this money at home. But he and Ills association), while not actively oppos ing the bill, are not urging its pas sage, on the grounds that its enact ment might tend to make it more dif ficult to repeal the state sales tax.

Proposed Tax Cut On 10c Cigarette Would Hit tSate lContinued from Page On«.> tend to lower the prices of the high grade cigarette tobacco, most of which is grown in North Carolina, but b'&tig increased prices to growers, of hurley tobacco, most of which is grown in other states, especially Tennessee and Kentucky. They also doubt if the prices of the poorer grades would in crease much, since the makqrs of the 10 cent- cigarette brands cannot af ford to pay but so much for their to bacco any way, they point out. The manufacturers of the 15 and 20 cent brand's of cigarettes, according to dispatches from Washington, main tain that if the government grants a 30 cents differential in the cigarette tax to the manufacturers of the 10 cent brands by reducing the Federal tax from $3 to $2.70 .peg- thousand, have already announced,,thp.t they will then be forced into the 10 cent field. ‘*lt the government is' goiqg to grant a subsidy to the makers or lu cent cigarettes, all the large Oigaretfe manufacturers Vi 11 be forced to cnt.ei the 10-coot field,” S. Clay Williams, president of the R. J. Reynolds To bacco Company, is quoted as saying in Washington yesterday. What Wil liams and all the large tobacco manu facturers want, with the exception of the makers of the 10-ccnt brands of cigarettes, is a flat reduction of at least 30 cents in the government tax on all brands of cigarettes. This, they claim, would help the makers of the more expensive brands, since they could then reduce their prices below the 15 cents, level and at the same time help the makers of the 10 cent, brands. In this manner the makers of the higher priced cigarettes could con tinue to pay the higher prices they have been paying for the better grades of. tobacco, while the makers of the 10-ccnt brands-could also pay bcttei prices for the lower grades of tobac co which they use, it is pointed out. so" that the tobacco farmers would benefit all the way through. The manufacturers of the higher priced cigarettes maintain that they* have purposely : refrained from entei ing the 10-cent field for two reasons as follows: 1. That they have built up then business and reputation by using a superior quality of tobacco. 2. That they have encouraged the tobacco farmers to raise a superior type of tobacco to meet their needs and that if they went into the lowei priced fields they would have to go back to the lower grades, and thus leave the producers of the better grades without a market. That the better grades of tobacco have brought consistently good prices, even when the prices for poorer grades were low. is borne out by the records of the government, according to E. Y. Floyd, tobacco specialist In Agricultural Extension Division of Ltate College here, who pointed out that the better grades brought just a3 much in 1932 as in 1933 on those markets which had government grad ing. He declined to comment, however on what would be the result if the large users of these better grades of tobacco should go into the 10 ceni Cigarette field, saying that he did not have any data showin the type o* tobaccos purchased by the manufac turers of the' 10 cents cigarettes. Strong pressure is being brought in Washington from hurley producing states in favor of the 30-cent reduction in the tax on 10-cent cigarettes, since they feel it would increase the price of this, cheaper type of tobacco. This correspondent has just returned from several days spent in east Tennesese, and sentiment over there is strong ly irt favor of this change, while it is even stronger in Kentucky. But the feeling here is that such a reduction Puzzle: Find the 1934 Forgotten Man '■ ■ r '\ ; . , : . m , , : CROSS WORD PUZZLE I 7L 3 A- 5 G 7 3 IO II \Z _ “ - ~ " " ~—g —in _ _ - _ zz m, :: 23 ““ mg |g!3o~sT“ sa |§|| 55“ S? 3?

Thi s would immediately make it pos sible for all the tobacco companies to reduce their prices and thus increase the field of consumption and almost automatically take care of the sur plus in the tobacco business. This in turn would increase competition for all grades of tobacco ana mean high er prices for the farmers. “The only thing that will ever solve the problems of the. tobacco farmer, m my opinion* is for the government to make a drastic reduction in the tax on tobacco—the only tax levied on an agricultural product—and thus 4 educe the cost of tobacco products to tb« consumer,” Governor J.
