Ehringhaus deliver ed Friday in New York City before the National Association of Life In surance Presidents was double-bar reled in its scope, since it not only sought to give “Big Business” some facts and figures about North Caro lina and the investment value of its bonds, but also served notice on the Federal government that North Car olina is already paying more than Its share of Federal taxes. At least, this is the opinion of a good many here who have just read the governor’s speech. Some of tile things the governor had to say about the proportion so State and Federal taxes are regarded as being of just as much interest, if not more, to North Carolinians as to the presidents of the life insurance companies he addressed.

PAYOFTEACHERS Senator Powell Favors It, and Sees Trouble Over Prohibition Dully Dispatch nnmi«, In the Sir Walter Hold, By J C. Hagkervllle. Raleigh, Dec. 15 —No one knows yet what the 1935 General Assembly is going to do with regard to tecahers’ salaries, the State prohibition law highway fund diversion or the sales tax. But Senator Walter H. Powell, of Whiteville, who will be one of the two senatlbors from the tenth sena torial district this time, is strongly in favor of increasing teachers’ salaries, as wel as the salaries of other State employes, and feels confident this ses sion will make some sort of an in crease. With rgeard to the prohibition ques tion, he says the State “is in a devil of a fix” but says he will not vote for any change in the present State prohibition laws unless such change or changes are submitted to the vote of the people for final approval. Senator Powell was a member of the 1931 Senate and also served in the 1919 session of the General As sembly. He has been a member of the State School Commission for the past two years and prior to that was a member of the old State Board of Equalization. So he is pretty fami liar with past legislatures and the problem which will face the present one. With regard to increasing teach ers’ salaries. Senator Powell said: “I am in favor of increasing teach ers’ salaries. I think the pay they are now receiving is entirely too low and if not increased as soon as pos sible, the cause of education in . .orth Carolina will be seriously injured. We get what we pay for in education as well as in everything else. Unless we increase the salaries of the teachers above what the state is now paying, the best teachers are going to seek (Continued on Page Two) North Carolina Is 12 To 1 In Favor Control Os Cotton Raleigh, Dec. 15.—(AP) —By a mar gin of more than 12 to one, North Cai'olina farmers have spoken with ballots that they favor continuation through 1935 of the Bankhead act to compel reduction of cotton acreage. Virtually complete unofficial and official returns showed North Caro lina producers to have voted 117,087 to 9,540 for retention of the existing law. The figures included 77 of toe. 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY >' FARMERS'VOTE ON BANKHEAD 10 HAVE Other Major Crops May Be included in Stringent Regulation of Pro duction VOTE OVERWHELMING ALL OVER THE BELT Only Four of 17 States Vot ing Friday Fail To Roll Up Two-Thirds Majority In Favor of Control; 896,233 for and 91,280 Against Bankhead Act (By the Associated Press.) A landslide for compulsory control of cotton led to speculation today as to whether the future might see such curbs extended to some other major crops. Growers of the South voted yester day on the question whether to con tinue the Bankhead act next year, and incomplete returns today showed: Yea, 896.233. Nay, 91,280. - This was a proportion of more than nine to one. A two-thirds vote was necessary for continuance. About 2,* 600.000 producers were eligible to vote and Secretary Wallace had estimated beforehand that about half that num ber actually would ballot. Out of 17 states voting the returns showed four Arizona, California, New Mexico and Oklahoma—failing to orll up two-thirds for the act, which imposes high taxes on cotton sold in excess of quotas. The nation al average is the deciding figure.

STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Dec. 15.—Large as the> Roosevelt administration’s majority will be in the incoming Congress, it already is evident that the New Deal will be placed on a “hot spot” when the lawmakers gather. The reason is the allegedly partisan fashion in which the administration has dished out jobs under emergency legislation enacted since last presidential inau guration day. The fact that Senator George W, Norris of Nebraska, has pledged him self to lead the attack on the policy the White House has sanctioned, la filling most of the new alphabetical posts, should be sufficient guaranty (Continuedon Page Seven) State’s 79 cotton producing counties, Only 17 precincts, eight in McDowell and nine in Person, were unreported the eligibility record indicated, though some of the county figures might bo altered in the official canvass.
