The pioph who said that to the President a** not polit:cuv*<, fh-v are h-ml -liead ed economists, who have devotee1 their lives to a study of such tilings. One fnmilv in every twelve in Am erica is now subsisting either totally >or in part upon charity, according to Xvwton I). Baker, chairman of the relief mobilization of the nation. Mr. Baker further states that the demand for help is greater by lfi times than when the depression began. This docs i; -t take into consideration the mil lions who have seen their life siv ii!??s go down as banks crashed, or their homes and farms sold fixmi nn d< r them, because of the depression, unless they have been reduced to such straits as to be forced lo live upon charity. The big job b< fore all Amer icans is, first to take c.ire of the needy, as well as we may, and then to see what is the matter with a political a.nd economic system under which such conditions could epwr about. Mr. Hoover said in Cleveland that the depression is the result of the terribly devastation of the World War; but Mr. Hoover knew as much about the World War, four years ago, when he was promising a job for every man, two automobiles in every garage, as he knows now. He knew then that his party had had ten years in which to enact any. leg islation that would be ^l^lpful i" meeting the situation. He knew that the leading economists had warned were warning, and are now warning that a high tariff would only aggra vate the situation instead of hein? helpful; and yet he signed the ''mnot-Ilawh y Tariff Bill; and is now urging even higher tariffs as the remedv, During the first vears of his administration, with tho knowledge of the war and its havocs before him, and th? light of history to bad him; he refused to admit that there was a panic in progress; and when conditions forced him to ? he admission, he predicted that yet (10 days and the depression will van ish, and prosperity shed its bene f^cient rays to the four corners of America. He did nothing to stave it off, and he only began an attempt to lock the- stable door, after the horse, had been removed. FOR SALE ? One pure blooded jVole China boar, two years old.

HAS REDUCED EXPENSES MORE THAN TWELVE MILLION It has taken just exactly $12,228, 000 Jess from the pocket books of the* taxpayers of North Carolina to run their government this past fiscal year than it (lid the year previous, according t-o an analysis of the fin ancial condition of the state re | leased this week by Governor O. Max Gardner. Coupled with that reduction in the property tax bill for the stati is the significant fact that the cost of the operation of the departments and in stitutions of North Carolina has been reduced from $8,058,000 in 192!) to $0,187,000 for the current year, or a jiet reduction of 29 pe\- cent in the cost of operating the government, it was shown in the Governor's state ment. >..* Getting down to a specific, analysis of the governmental costs, it was shown that by reason of the action taken in the last General Asscinbl* the total tax bill in Meck'onbuiy eounyt, for instable,", was reduced the grand sun: of $750,000, and (las ton county was able to slash off $449,000 from its total property tax bill. Rnrke county's total redu?-ti -n for the year amounted to $80,7 '0. The total reduction throughout al! North Carolina of 20.4 per cent of the ?properly lav constitutes tin largest tax reduction ever nehiewd in the history of the slat", it was |N>inti-d out. Figures just completed by the Tax Commission show a total proj>ert v 1 tax law 'of $59,911.(10 in 19.'!0 ?mi.I a 'drop to $47.<?S4.nnO ill 19.11 -the i first year to linve th?> Iwitcfii of tl,~ I *>.*? 1 school ;?rd road Jejris'af and | of (lit l< ??illative and ?idniiiostrative I economics put into effeet in local ; ??overnmeiit. 1 The auaKsis shows the remarkable I reduction in ortniilv leV;os of $10. ?>,V?.<)l>0 in district levies of ^1 704.- j ?100, and in iiiiiuic'i|?al levies of j ?> tl'0,000.

In other words, these government - il economies left just exactly $12, M0,IH)0 more money in the pockets ? f ihe taxpayers of Xorth Carolina han might easily haw been taken ?ndrr the normal and regular appro ?niations for the support of the government. This is generally regarded in ad ministration eireles as the biggest reduction ever brought about in a single year by any State ill the Union. More important than any of thes* reductions, in the minds of some, is the -.fiiet that tfie administration | was able to shave off th* impress ive sum of $2,750,000 from th ? sal aries alone is regarded as a very Mattering contrast to the increase in salaries shown in the federal gov ernment. ?

A STRONG MAN SPEAKS First, in considering Jesus as a healthy strong man, read of his power of healing. He was teaching one day in Capernaum, in a house crowded to the doors, when a commotion occurred in the courtyard. A man sick in bed for years had heard reports of his marvelous power, and persuaded four friends to carry him to the house. Now at the -very entrance their way was blocked. The eager listeners inside would not give way even to a sick man ; they re fused to sacrifice a s;ngle Word. Sorrowfully the four friends started to carry the invalid back to his house again. But the poor fellow's will was strong even if his body was weak. Rising on his elbow he insisted that they take hirn up the stairway on the outside Bruce tiarton 0f the house and lower him through the roof. They protested, but he was inflexible. It was his only chance for health and he would not give it up until everything had been tried. So at length they consented, and, in the midst of a- sentence the teacher was interrupted dramatically ; the sick man lay helpless at his feet. Jesus stopped and bent down, taking the flabby hand in his firm grasp ; his face was lighted with a wonderful smile. "Son, thy sins are forgivemthee," he said. "Rise, take up thy bed and walk." " ./ The sick man was stupefied. "Walk I" He had never expected to walk again. Didn't this stranger understand that he had been bedridden for years ? Was this some sort of cruel jest to make him the laughing-stock of the crowd ? A bitter protest rushed to his lips ; he started to speak and then halting himseif, he looked up ? up to the calm assurance of those blue eyes, the supple strength of those muscles, the ruddy skin that testifed to the rich blood beneath ? and the healing occurred ! It was as though health poured out of that strong body into the weak one like electric current from a dynamo. The invalid felt the blood quicken in his palsied limbs ; a faint flush crept into his thin drawn cheeks ; almost involuntarily he tried to rise and found to his joy that he could ! "Walk!" Do you suppose for one minute that a weakling, uttering that syllable, would have produced any result ? If the Jesus who looked down on that pitiful wreck had been the Jesus of the painters, the sick man would have dropped back with a scornful sneer and motioned his friends to carry him out. But the health of the teacher was irresistible; it seemed to cry out, "Nothing is impossible, if only your will power is strong enough." And the man who so long ago had surrendered to despair, rose and gathered up his bed and went away, healed ? like hundreds of others in Ga|?'?e - by strength from an overflowing fountain of strength. ? ?

State meetings of licensed hunters and fishermen by counties for the purpose of making recom mendations to the Department of Conservation and Development rela tive to changes in the hunting and fishing laws.
