- Mr. Wilson has put it up to Congress to make it possi

duct of court, and the straight salary of the Mayor be
mde attractive for an A-l business man to loujflaer the
place, i' might solve the problem Jef "the best plan for

man lie made Mayor with full responsibility for the con-1
d;ict of ill the city's affairs, and with the authority for ,
selecting subordinate department heads, subject, of
course, to the approval of the Mayor and Council, a new
ki'id of city manager plan might be thus devised which
would givo Kinston, better government than she has here
tofore enjoyed. The idea might be worthy of considera

Those who have business with The Free Press or other
concerns on the north side of Gordon street, leading west
from Queen, should take the precaution to wear their boots
in order u wade through the mud-pond, occasioned by the
refuse obstructing the sidewalk and making it necessary
to take the middjft.of the street. If the rain keeps up
and the city authorities continues to permit the sidewalk
and part of the driveway to remain blocked, The Free
Press will endeavor to get a boat line started for the ac
commodation of its friends. Seriously, why are the streets
allowed to b3 blocked unnecesyarily ' In every caso where
pedestrians are"' forced to take to the middle of the street,
those who are being benefited by the obstruction should
be required to build a walkway for their convenience
around tho obstruction. A visit to the section by Mr
Mayor, Mr, Chief of Police, or whoever is authorized to
have the debris removed would be quite obliging. When
may we expect you?
They're Great!"

Tho bill introduced in the State Senate to allow hunk
ers to charge eight per cent, by contract should be very
carefully considered before being passed. The Free Press
is not familiar with nil the details or provisions of the
bill, and therefore is not in a position to discuss the safe
guards being included to prevent a general increase of
tho money cost in this State. Six per cent, is the maxi
mum amount now allowed and should the bankers have
a bill passed, which would enable them to muke general
increases to eight per cent, it would mean an increase
of two pet cent, in the cost of living in North Carolina.
The increased loan rate would be reflected in practically
every commodity , and Ihintf necessity. The proposed
measure may not contemplate uny such increase, but un
less due care is exercised the contract feature may be
eomo obligatory on the part of small and less influential
borrowers, who seek accommodation at tho banks of the
State." The banks of this State, speaking generally are in
good condition, and the reports of the various stockhold'
ers' rnooTOgs held tne beginning oi tne year snow mat
approximately the same profits were made during 1914
as heretofore. Dividends of from eight to ten per cent
were paid with equivalent amounts or more added to the
surplus funds. Such figures do not justify the bankers
at the present time in seeking any general increase in
ban revenues,
