Babsoh Says U. S. Menaced
By Liquor Gambling, Vice
False Claims For Liquor
Boston, Mass., April 26.—Speaking;
here last night, Roger W. Babson
said:
I am not now speaking for or
against any political party. I, how
ever, do say it is a disgrace, both to
the church and to democracy, to have
the best people of our country divide
their vote between the two major
political parties. This is especially
true in connection with the liquor
problem. ,
In saying, this, I am riot referring
to the great harm liquor is doing to
our people, especially to the youth.
f am not even thinking how this
harm may strike our own homes and
ruin our sons and grand ons—yes,
and now, even the girls of our fam
ilies. No one is obliged to drink and
a proper campaign of education as
!:o Ihe evils of liquor could save most
of these young People. My reason for
bring against the commercialization
of liquor, gambling, vk‘c, and sim
ilar evils which now flourish i nd~r
doth Republicans and Democrats is
because of what these evils arc doing
o democracy.
r am c >nvinc :d that only by crus 1

democracy be saved. I go further a:•
ay that the American people are
now fast approaching, the time when
these evil interests will be runnin:
the United States government. 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

hurt real estate values. 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. McGinnis,
WPA state administrator, said today!
The reduction is being made in ac
cordance with a nationwide policy

McGinnis, who had been serving
as acting state administrator since
April 1, dropped the “acting” from
his title today. George W. Coan, Jr.,

Jurors and Trade
Act In High Court

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.

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.
