Equalization Board
Reports A Surplus
RALEIGH, Dec. 20.?Found: One ^
State aiency with a surplus.
In this era of deficits, the State
| Board of Equalization has reported
I:: has a surplus at the present time pr
I of $1306,000 for the biennium, but Wi
I this amount will be diminished by co:
I demands not yet met, LeRoy Martin, of
I secretary said. Ur
The board, meeting here Saturday pl<
I afternoon, refused to make an al- en
I lotment of $306,000 requested by the ]
| Budget Bureau to pay two-thirds of vo
I the interest charges on temporary we
I borrowings for the general fund foi prj
I this biennium. All savings from ap- tei
I propriations, however, will be turn- ret
?d into the geneial fund and can be eai
I ssed for interest. 1
The savings, it was said, resulted en
in the reduction of $500,000 made hu
at the Budget Bureau in the $1,500,- re?
000 extended term appropriation for trs
^this year and the remainder from as
refusal by the board to allot full
sums available for allotment.

Economy League I
Program To Trim j
Funds Is Criticized
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.?Hie
rational Economy league's big proram
for clashing veterans' beneits
was denounced as unfair today
n a stormy congressional argument,
/hich involved the names of Rear
idmiral Richard E. Byrd and Major
General James G. Harbord.
The economy program was preented
to the joint congressional
ommittee on veterans' legislation
y William Marshall Bullitt, of
jouisville, former solicitor general
f the United1 States. It called for
, $450,000,000 annual reduction in
eterans' expenditures including a
7 000.000 cut to be made in the reirement
pay of the emergency or
?ar-time officers. j
Senator Robinson, Kbpuoiicuu,
ndiana, immediately challenged the
itter recommendation, asserting it
,'as unfair to permit regular retired
fficers such as Harbord and Byrd,
o draw big pensions and not give
he same consideration to the offiers
of the world war.
The Indianan said that both Harord
and Byrd, members of the
Iconomy league, could well afford
3 forego pensions. He demanded
ow they could justify their suport
for cutting out emergency offer's
pay and not their own.
Bullitt maintained there was a
decided difference" between the
ivo groups. He said Harbord had
iven 33 years to Military service
nd thereby passed up many civilin
opportunities, while most emerency
officers served only a year
r two.
Robinson said that made little
ifference, citing the case of an
mergency officer who he said had
een "shot to pieces and cannot
raw more than $100 a month."
He said Byrd was receiving $4.D0
and Harbord $6,000 retired pay,
linus the 8 1-3 per cent salary cut.

HENDERSON, Dec. 19.?Mrs. V.
Welt, of New York City.--was-seriously
injured, and her sister-in-^aw,
I
Mrs. Harry Levine, was less serious,
ly" hurt shortly before noon Sunday

No Strings To
Relief Fund, Says
Dr. Morrison
Funds from the Federal government
to take care of the needy and
destitute of North Carolina this |
winter going out to the counties and i
cities of the State without strings
or promise to repay seems evidently
too good to be true in some sections.
Dr. Fred W. Morrison, State director
of relief, said Tuesday that
->t first there was a disposition on
the part of some counties to shy
away from their allotment on ac-ount
of the fear t'^t they would
e unable to pay it back. The attitude
persists in isolated instances
to drag out these individual allocations
over a longer period than that
or which the apportionments were
made in order to keep counties
crom going too far in debt in re'ief
administration.
"These funds seem so much like
/^rvurri from hPH.VPn
I lit 111 let i ailicu uvnii A A _.w?
'hat our people have seemed disposed
to regard them as sacred and
only to be handled as a special
treasure brought to them by miracle.
Under Governor Gardner's
rogram and policy the State itself
borrows these funds from the Federal
allotment.
No obligation is imposed upon
| any community receiving these
funds in the way of repayment. So
far as the cities and counties are
concerned, what they get for relief
purposes is an outright gift from
he State.
The State of North Carolina will
- expected to make a repayment
i the Federal treasury, but when
he State repays, the money will
~t be taken from the pockets of
ts people in direct taxes. The debt
will be liquidated by North Carojlina
accepting from the Federal
i overnment, beginning in 1935, a
j deduction of 20 per cent from what
aid for road building it would be
entitled to receive from the Federal
government, this arrangement to
| continue annually-until the entire
loan for relief shall have been
j taken care of.

California Without
Enforcement Law
11
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Dec. 20.? 1
California was without a state pro- |
hibition enforcement law today for
the first time since 1922. The repeal ,
vote was 1,459,835 cast last Nov. 3
officially expunged the Wright act i
from the statute books at midnight.
Governor James Rolph, Jr., had
before him pardons he will issue re- i
leasing 122 men and 6 women state
liquor law violators from city or i
county jails or from the obligation
of paying liquor law violation fines *
on the installment plan. There will i
be more pardons, officials of the '
Governor's office said, as soon as 1
applications being received can be <
studied and approved. |<
Gov. Rolph said he feels the over- (f
whelming repeal vote justifies his (
"Christmas pardons."
City and county liquor prohibition '

Says Live-At-Home
Program Must Again
Be Carried Through
TV,a fr\r* nHfPC frVT fl.11 fflXm
X lie UUl/iwa iVi -?? ??
wops next season means that again
M->e North Carolina farmer must
plan to grow his crops as economically
as possible and must follow
the live-at-home plan if he is to
weather the coming year.
Ralph H. Rogers of the department
of agricultural economics and
Charles A. Sheffield, assistant extension
director, attended the recent
outlook conference at Atlanta
and then with the aid of all governmental
information prepared the
outlook for conditions in this State
next season. This material has been
studied by workers of the School of
Agriculture and is now being printed
for distribution to farmers of the
State. The idea is to let the growers
have the facts so that from them,
hhey may plan their enterprises next
season.
While the outlook is distinctly
discouraging for most crops and
livestock next year, still, should
there be an upturn in business conditions,
tobacco and peanuts may
show a better price. Cotton cannot
mnra fr> mnnh hieher nrlce levels
nless there is a decided increase
in the takings by textile mills.
There is a need for more feed in
he state and the price of good seed
s low which should encourage the
Planting of more legumes and of
nigh grade seed of the general farm
;rcps. The price for hogs and beef
;attle will remain low and there
should be no expansion in dairying
;xcept for local markets where the
leed exists. The same thing applies
;o poultry. North Carolina still imports
eggs and butter.
Mules will go to higher prices if
:rop prices improve because there
s a shortage and the mules on
arms now are old. There may be an
mproved price for stumpage tim>er.
The outlook is not so good for
mproved prices for truck crops, exsept
strawberries. The acreage of
weet and irish potatoes should not '
?e increased, the report will say.
