If ore Constitution is thrown over for Fas cism, it will be due primarily to thr liquor, gambling, vice, and othei rackets. Even today, the liquor in terests claim that they elected Presi dent Roosevelt and that it is up h him to protect them. As a statistician, I *am especially disturbed by the arguments which the liquor interests use in connection with taxation. They claim that liquor is contributing about $500,000,000 r year to Federal and State treasuries They, however, are telling only one half the story. The other half is thd the liquor upon which they pay this tax has so undermined the character of the American people, that our Federal and State governments are now required to pay out more than $500,000,000 a year for relief. It is true that we would lose these excise taxes if we crushed this hideous ‘raffic, but this loss would be more than offset by what would be saved mi relief alter the traffic is crushed. The same principle applies to race tracks and other evils. Newspapers and magazines might temporarily suffer until legitimate advertising should increase sufficent ly to take up the slack. If, however, we have learned anything from the mistakes made under prohibition, we will not allow these newspapers and magazines to suffer. We will see that the government carries on an educa tional, paid-advertising campaign to develop the character, health, and efficiency of the American people. This should more than offset any losses due to suppressing present liquor, race track, and similar adver Wales, of Edenton, president of the council; and Miss Harris (center) of Roanoke Rapids, will lead a figure Saturday night, with Jack Vincent, of Roanoke Rapids.

Statistics show that this is an outright false hood, spread about to fool the voters of the United States. Actual facts as to the real estate situation show that real estate values have been declin ing since these interests have again been in the saddle. Surely the open ing of a liquor store in any neighbor hood usually hurts the rental value of adjoining property. Commercial ized vice and gambling have always done real estate far more harm than good. This can be proven in almost every community. The liquor traffic, gambling, and similar evils have also been a great contributing cause to unemployment. Charts could be made showing the correlation of the growth in their growth and the increase in unem ployment. You, however, need not bother with charts or statistics. Look about vour own community. You will find that for every five homes fully employed, four of them will be homes of thrifty people of good habits. On the other hand, lor every five homes on relief, you will find that four of them are families of questionable habits. Things cannot continue to go along as they are now going without a spiritual, social and financial col lapse. STATE WPA ROLLS BE CUT TO 42,000 Raleigh, April 2b.—(AP)—North Carolina’s WPA rolls will be reduc ed to 42,000 by May 1, as compared with Ihe all-time peak of 59,086 last December, Charles C.

Jurors and Trade Act In High Court (Continued From Page One! her wrecked automobile near Green field Lake, just outside Wilmirigton, early on a Sunday morning. Hender son is alleged to have confessed. O much greater statewide import ance is the appeal of Eli Lilly and Company, a manufacturer of phar maceutical and biological commod ities, from the Stevens decision void ing the “Fair Trade” act as uncon stitutional. The act attempts to prohibit re tailer who purchase “trade marked” products from selling them at less than prices stipulated in the contracts with other retail dealers. Judge Stevens held that it is “clearly un constitutional” and that it tends to foster monopoly and monopolistic practices. The case comes before the court on the Lilly company’s suit for an injunction prohibiting sales at lower prices by L. S. Saunders, who as Saunders Drug Stores conducts re tail businesses in several eastern North Carolina cities, including Wil mington and Fayetteville. The Lilly company brief contends vigorously that the statute does not tend to establish monopoly, but on the other hand, by preventing price cutting, has the opposite effect. Throughout the long 36 pages docu ment counsel contend that the act even if “in restraint of trade” is only in “reasonable” restraint therefor and therefore valid. “It is interesting to note that the Fair Trade act does not in any way undertake to compel any merchant to sell any article at any price”, con tends the brief. The Henderson case is the onl> capital case on the calendar for next week. Another criminal case raises the question whether possession of seven and a half pints of liquor in a combination store-dwelling makes a prima facie case of possession for purposes of sale. Also before the court will be the appeal of Jimmy Hobbs, striking Wilmington oil truck driver, from an Anson county con viction of assault with a deadly wea ( pon on a strikebreaking driver. | There are 23 civil cases on the i calendar, which is made up of ap peals from the Eighth and Thirteenth districts. Appeals from the Eighth, only, will be called next Thursday. PAGE FIVE CHURCH SOCIETIES ANNOUNCEMENT Represents Friends Univer sity in Centennial Cele bration in Durham Mrs. R. E.

Bing Crosby’s Children Are Threatened Hollywood, April 26.—(AP) — Crooner Bing Crosby carried a gun today while agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as usual re fusing comment on the activities, told a kidnap threat against the four children of the actor-sportsman and his wife, the former Dixie Lee of jilms. Floodlights illuminated the estate of the screen and radio star and armed guards patrolled the grounds as Crosby admitted he had confer red with G-men, declaring “It’s re ally nothing unusual (we get these threats every once in a while) and don’t pay much attention to them.” He explained FBI agents had ask ed him not to discuss details of the case but added “I am still carrying a gun.” Carolina Women Welcome Question, Say Reporters “Right away, in Charlotte, we found the name of our product insures us a cordial welcome from women who have used it.” So declares one of the Reporters who asked 2011 users in 20 cities, “Were you helped by CARDUI?” And found , that 93 per cent— lßßo out of 2011 —say they were benefited by using CARDUI! Women everywhere are glad to tell how CARDUI has made them want and enjoy food; how, with its help, they gained strength, energy, were thus relieved of the symptoms of “functional dysmenorrhea’.’ due to malnutrition. Many also say that CARDUI in larger doses helps “at the time” to soothe the pain. Adv.
