Mercury in as cending ncJq. 1 ONCE UPON SEPT. 24 If any one date can be called the most important in Supreme Court h s tory, this is it. . . _ John Marshall, who established the power of the Court, was born Sept. 24, Congress created the Court Sept. 24, 1789. And 75 years ago today, President Abraham Lincoln suspended general ly the right of habeas corpus, one of the fundamental liberties of the Ame rican citizen, and defied the Supreme Court. _ Chief Justice Roger Taney had de nied the right of the President to su spend habeas corpus, in certain cases in 1861, affirming such power was vested in Congress alone, and attempt ed to have Brig. Gen. George Cadwal lader arrested for defiance of 'the court’s ruling. Congress, in creating what was to become the greatest power and check upon its own authority, gave the court no power to enforce its deci sions! Curiously, the very first congression al action declared unconstitutional by the court was part of the law creat ing the court itself. This section au thorized the court to issue writs of mandamus “in cases warranted by the principles and usages of the law to any courts appointed, or persons hold ing office, under authority of the United States.” The court held it should not have this authority. In those days the justices by no means regarded the court as sacros anct. One of the original appointees (Robert H. Harrison) declined to serve. Another, John Rutledge, re signed after a few months, but later was persuaded to return. The first chief justice, John Jay, quit to be come governor of New York. Begged to accept a reappointment, he refus ed. Thomas Johnson had likewise re fused to be appointed chief justice. What Do You Ksow About North Carolina? By FRED H. MAY 1. What is the value of the property of the greater University? 2. What is the oldest record we have of a land grant in North Carolina? 3. How many women in North Car olina are wage earners? 4. How many counties showed a de crease in population in 1930? 5. What inquiry into partisan poli tical activities was ordered by the 1288 ?®.g Mature? ,6. V.’hat North Carolina congress man is buried in Arlington National Cemetery? ANSWERS 1. The three institutions, The Uni versity, Stab; College and N. C. C. W., . . lined * .vn property valued at $20,- 424.046 Th valuation is based on the latent a*v aisal, June 30, 1938. 2. Th«:. >f the land on River gi anted to George Durant by King •Khcocanen, of the Yeopim In dians, March 1, 1661 (1662). This land still is known as Durant’s Neck. There were grants earlier than this, as a re ference is made in thig deed to an earlier grant, however, no records of the former grant have been found. 3. The 1930 census reports show that 262,665 women over 15 years of age are wage earners. The total number of women over 15 years of age in the State is 1,001,408. 4. Three western counties, Alleg hany, Swain and Yancey, and two eastern Currituck and Perquimans. The census of 1920 showed that 14 counties had lost population during that census period. 5. A joint resolution was adopted requesting the State Treasurer to re port if he had paid out any sums of money to defray the expenses of the celebration of the republican party held at Raleigh on July 4th. of that year. The request also covered the use of any State owned property. 6. John T. Deweese, carpetbag con gressman. Deweese, was torn in Ar kansas and came to North Carolina at the end of the war. He was sent to congress from Wake county after the .State was readmitted to the Union, taking his seat July 6, 1868. He was charged with selling appointments to the Naval Academy and resigned Feb ruary 23, 1870, while investigations of these charges were being made. He died in Washington July 4, 1906 and was buried in the Arlington National Cemetery. Mom Numskull > U* ’ DEAR. NOAH=*IF A CHIUD UOST His kite:, wouud IT BE.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1937 SEPTEMBER •UN MON TUI WtD JMU HU SAI o>pki AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY 20 Years Ago Today—To get at the socks of small wage-earners and oth ers unable to buy Liberty Bonds, the Treasury Department announced it would issue War Savings Certificates, of denominations $5 and' up. They were* to bear four per cent interest and be redeemable in five years. Germans made another air raid on London and English coastal cities, with Zeppelins and airplanes. Seven persons were killed, 22 injured. The munitions plant of the Newton Manufacturing Company, Warrenville, Mass., was wfecked by an explosion. To shut off possible channels of communication of enemy agents, crews of ships arrivin gin American ports were ordered subjected to thor ough investigation and search. Higher Prices Checking Trade Volume in Natioif (Continued from Page One.) really gone through the roof. Their rise approximates 75 per cent. Pork chops at 44 cents a pound—up 120 per cent—and sirloin steak at 50 cents a pound—up 70 per cent—ere in the class of rare delicacies. Most families cannot afford to buy them; while j many who can afford to buy refuse I to do so because the price is out Os lino with other foods. Filet of sole, lamb croquettes and roast chicken are getting the call over pot roasts and baked ham. Personally, the high price of meat makes no difference to me as I am a vegetarian; but most people are not so sensible. Another example of the growing re sistance to higher prices is in the clothing field. Since last September, retail price tags have been marked up 10 per cent on the average. Spring merchandise first showed the effects | of shoppers’ resistance. Sales have : been gradually slowing down since then. It is interesting to note that a men’s clothing chain has just an nounced its fall price of $19.85. Last spring this concern marked its line up from $18.75 to s2l. To move their goods this summer, the price had to ,to be cut to $17.50. These vaiious re | tail price advances have pushed the volume of retail sales below a year I ago for the first time in twenty-eight months. Trade Below 1936. There are other illustrations of con sumer resistance. Prices on 1938 au tomobile models are to be higher and dealers have their fingers crossed. Under pressure of a 16 per cent in crease in costs, building has now dropped below the level of the pre ceding year for the first time since May, 1934. Fuel oil is another product which feels the effects of higher prices. Automatic stoker sales are catching up with oil burner sales. In some Eastern cities higher prices have put fuel oil on a sl4 a ton equivalent to stove coal which is still $12.50 a ton. Higher labor costs are a big factor in these advanced prices. Moderate and justified wage increases are a tonic to industry. But too sharp or unjustified advances ultimately do the worker more harm than good. Those businesses that gave the larger wage boosts were the ones which were forced to ftiake the biggest price mark ups. Their business is now slowing down. Os course, some short-sighted manufacturers are using higher op erating costs as an alibi to lift priced. But the innocent suffer with the Iguilty. Workers who are being put on part time are now seeing that wage booms are not all they are cracked up to be. / Price-Fixing Unsound. Consumers are wondering if these 'higher prices have any’ connection with “price-fixing.’ The new Tydings- Miller act opens the gates to national price-fixing. It permits manufacturers to fik minimum prices for trade marked articles where the same is allowed !fc.y State law. Price-fixing is bound to lead to all kinds of abuses. The consumer will be held up by this act. Efficient distributors will be pen alized. But the law may prove a boom erang to retailers and manufacturers. Those merchants who hold a price umbrella ove’fc their branded mer chandise may see their trade flock ing to the cut-price private brands. In many cases there seems to he plenty of room for lower prices rath er than higher. Current distribution costs look exorbitant. Here, for in stance, is a table showing how your dollar is split up into producing and selling costs: Cost To Cost To Produce Sell Raw Foods 55 cents 45 cents Clothing .. • • 45 cents 55 cents Prepared Foods 40 cents 60 cents Furniture and Home equipment 35 cents 65 cents Hardware 20 cents 80 cents Dentifrices, Cosfetics, etc. ....10 cents 90 cent 3 Revolutionary Changes Afoot. With consumers daily ‘ ecoming more price-conscious, the balance be- GET BUSY ON THIS .. The busy beaver proves this fact: It’s skill that counts in every act, And skill in making period blends Has won for CALVERT countless friends! WHISKIES tween these producing and selling costs must shift over the next few years. There will be revolutionary de velopments in the distribution field. Consumer bidding, Consumer research consumer clubs and consumer coop eratives are but a few of the changes which will give the worker more goods for every dollar of his income. I have personally become so interest ed in this subject that I am now open ing six new schools in different cities to train consumers how to buy ef ficiently. This subject of retail prices is the hottest issue of the hour. We hear a lot albout putting mo-re money into the Worker’s pay. envelope. What I want to see is the pay envelope put ting more goods into the worker’s market basket. Capitalism is the soundest economic system that the world has yet devised and mass pro duction is the greatest development since capitalisip was born. But the effects of mass production are Ibeing nullified by selfish manufacturers, ! workers and retailers who refuse to i let its benefits be passed along to the consumer. The long-term future of capitalism lies in our ability to hitch up mass consumpftiion beside mass production Stocks go lowest IN LAST TWO YEARS Declines of Ten Points or More Shown in Some Instances; Bonds, Conpnodities Off : New York, |Sept 24. —(AP) —Stock market' leaders' today crashed through Support areas and landed in new low territory for about two years.

Now he is being quite seri ously discussed. On What Ticket? As just what kind of a partisan can didate he might tfc nominated for the White House is not at all clear. He could be as a New Dealer, but he never has chanced to run for office under a straight-out Democratic label. I He served most of his time in Congress as a Republican. However, having been turned down by his district’s Republicans for renom ination, he accepted the Socialist nomination a time or two, won and was Socialistically recorded on Capi tol Hill. Then the Republicans,-find ing they could not beat 'him, re-as similated him into their fold. Party is immaterial to La Guardia. He is an individualist. . He has been mayor of New York as ’>»' nirt. K iit>in sympathy with the New Deal. Yet the New Deal organ ization did not support him in his re nomination fight. Jeremiah T. Ma honey is the New York City New Deal Democrats nominee. The Lineup. Anyway, La Guardia is the nominal Republican candidate; Mahoney is the Democratic nominee. Cbpsland is out—except, of course, he remains a United States senator. Tammany, backing him, appears to be finished. It is doubtful whether it can survive such a licking. It hasn’t got ja look-in, whether (he New Deal La Guardia-ites or the New Deal Ma honey-ites finally win. The New Deal management, by the way, is considerably criticized, with in the Democrats’ own ranks, for fail ing to support La Guardia instead of Mahoney—on , ground that La Guardia is a plenty good enough New Dealer, regardless of his momentarily Republican label. The Why of It? Nevertheless, the reason that the New Deal strategists prefer Mahoney over La Guardia is not far to seek. Mahoney presumably is a manage able Rooseveltian New Dealer. La Guardia is as independent as the well-known “hog on ice.” Re-elected to the mayoralty of New York, assuredly he will become presi dentially a potentiality. I don’t think the White House would object to him as such —provided that the present White House tenant could count on him and his subsequent spokesman. But he knows he can’t do it. La Guardia has his. own ideas. -» Jim Farley Delays His Resignation (Continue i troin I’-ags One.) set in at a time when attorneys for the company were preparing the SBC registration statement and consequent ly there was no hurry to file the statement when market conditions were unsettled. .
