McDonald against the State Banking Commission to the ef fect that it had shown favoritism to certain persons. The music has not come out anywhere yet, hut indica tions are that there are going to be some reverberations that will be heard over the entire State when it does come out. The statement was regard ed as being so libelous and dangerous by two well-known news services that they refused to handle the statement over their wires as news. But it was printed by two newspapers in the State. The report now going the rounds is that one or both of these newspapers may be hailed into court to submit proof of the statements made by Dr. McDonald, which do not seem to have been altogether accurate. Commissioner of Banks Gurney P. Hood declined to make any further statement today with regard to Dr. McDonald’s charges that it had shown “scandalous favoritism” in the liquidation of a bank in Asheville and permitted a creditor to settle for a fractional part of the indebtedness. But Hood did say that in his opinion the charges were so false that they <Continued on Page Three.) were only four in the McDonald poli tical bed, with one of the four re maining rather inactive until the fi nal weeks of the campaign. This one was former Senator Simmons, the papa of prohibition in North Carolina, even though it is now generally re garded as having been fathered for political purposes. The “quads” did not become “quints” until after the first primary, when John Barleycorn was born and placed in the same bed with four “dry” quads which had been in it all along, or rather which had been regarded as being “dry”. Dr. McDonald has now 'become wringing “wet” and is openly advocating local option, county liquor stores and coun ty liquor control with the counties to get the profits from the sale of li suor.

In The Sir Walter Hotel, tlv J. O. DAKHKItViM, Raleigh, June 23.—A total of $16,- 600,000 was paid out to 23,581 school teachers and principals during this past school year in salaries, Lloyd E. Griffin, executive secretary of the State School Commission, announced today. This is some $41,000 more than the school commission had estimated would be expended for teachers’ sal aries and was made necessary by the employment of 59 more teachers than the commission had allowed for. There were 259 more teachers em ployed this year than last year, when the total amounted to 23,322. The total of $16,600,000 paid out to teachers and principals this past year does not include the salaries paid to superintendents, janitors, school bus drivers or mechanics, Griffin pointed out. The salaries paid to superinten dents amount to approximately $400,- 000, to janitors a'bout $350,000, to bus drivers $280,000 and the school bus mechanics $172,000. When this is ad ded to the amount paid the teachers and principals, the total expenditure for salaries alone is $17,802,000. The cost of transporting some 200,- 000 children a day to and from school in more than 4,000 school buses a mounted to $1,896,000 this past year, or fully SIOO,OOO more than had been estimated. This was because of the very sever winter in all sections of the State which added greatly to the cost of operating the school trans portation system. The cost of operat ing and heating the school buildings over the State was also $38,000 more than had been estimated, while the commission also spent $40,000 more for school buses than had been bud geted for that purposes.

That is the question asked oftenest of this writer in the last few days. He in turn has been observing cer tain political reactions.

O. P. Itself, Farley Says Convention Hall, Philadel phia, June 23 (AP) —A Demo cratic national convention more firmly unified than any since the days of Woodrow Wilson as sembled today to answer mus ter under the banners of Frank lin D. Roosevelt. The opening salute of the big rally, resounding militantly through the vast and colorful reaches of Philadelphia’s great public auditorium, was a boom ing New Deal speech by James A. Farley, Democratic chairman, and Roosevelt generalissimo. Roosevelt men swarmed the speak er’s stand. Other Roosevelt men, headed by Senator Wagner, of New York, worked elsewhere in seclusion to perfect a platform satisfactory to the White House. Still others pledged to Roosevelt drafted the changes in convention rules which he desires. And on every hand the expectation was universal that before the week end Roosevelt and Vice-President Garner would he renominated with substantial, if not complete, un animity. Senator Wagner, refreshed from conferences in Washington, was closet ed with Secretary Wallace about the farm plank, but it remained uncer (Continued on Page Four.) Republican Invitations ToAlSmith New York, June 23 (AP)—Chair man John D. M. Hamilton, of the Re publican National Committee, today virtually invited former Governor Alfred E. Smith to speak in the cam paign in behalf of Governor Alis M. Landon. In response to the direct question as to whether Smith would speak for Landon, Hamilton replied: “I think Governor Smith is one of the finest Americans, and the people of the country are entitled to hear his views.” Asked whether his statement did (not contain an inference that he wanted the former governor to “take the stump in behalf of the Republi can ticket,” Hamilton replied: “It isn’t even an inference,” adding that he would be tickled to death. The tax act, a compromise between the House and Senate, goes a long way toward carrying out suggestions by President Roosevelt for stiff levies on corporation income withheld from stockholders. Advocates of his sugges tion contend it will force corporation income into the hands of stockhold ers, where it will be subject to in dividual income taxes, while oppon ents argue it will be harmful to cor porations in need of surplus.
