position that the question wax doctrin

fke Vttamt Ministers of the Church
Richmond, Va., Oct. 26—The 'obli
gation of the church to care for its
veterin ministers who are beyond the
Mritihg age was placed squarely be
fore the United Lutheran convention
today by its Hoard of Ministerial
pensions and Relief. The Board is
ia the midst of preparations for a
campaign to raise $3,000,00 Oas an
endowment fund to gnarantee a steady
minimum income. How carefully the
plans are being laid is evident by the
fact that already much publicity is
being given to the need and the cam
paign organisation is being effected,
although the appeal itself will not be
made to the people until Reformation
Day, October 31, 1927. The Board
secretary hopes that the total- receipts
of the campaign will go far above the
stated amount.
Due to increased ‘ appropriation and
an increasing willingness on .the part
of people who can to give s : arable
amounts for the pensioning, of aged
■pastors or the widows and orphans of
pastors the Board finds its financial
situation today better than it has ev
i er been in the history of this eburch.
j Although the demands upon the funds
have increased considerably during the
past biennium, the funds have kept
pace, and “we have been able to meet
all obligations, promptly ami without
diflknlty.” However, the increased
cost of living nod the rapid growth of
the church are forcing the demands
still higher, and, it is anticipated, the
endowment funds will be needed as
soon as they are gathered.
The Board at present is giving sup
port through pensions and relief to
788 beneficiaries, and it has asked an
appropriation of $2571100 in the bud
get of the church for the next bien
nium.

' MUCH INTEREST IN THE
1 j POLITICAL CAMPAIGN
:
• The Demand for Speakers Exceeds the
1 Supply.
' . Tribune Bureau
Sir Wtflter Hotel
> Raleigh, Oct. 26.—Chairman John
G. Dawson, returning to the state
' 'aeadquarters after Sunday at home
- in Kinston, found many callers ask
• ing for speakers who could not be
- supplied.
1 The circumstance is interesting as
a reflection upon oif-year politics.
The chairman's second campaign has
■ been more strenuous than bis first.
He has found more interest than us
ually attaches in a presidential year
plus a governorship. So far from
1 general indifference, Mr. Dawson has
not observed more general interest.
' There are many more speeches being
made this year than were made in
1 1024. ' And the demand far exceeds
the supply. This is taken as a good
omen for there is no report that the
1 Republicans are causing more than
i the usilal amouut of trouble. And not
in many campaigns has that been
serious.
The emphasis of the Democrats is
on citizenship. They are assuming
that anybody who takes tSie trouble
1 to vote will vote DemocraHc. The
speakers are urging them th vote. lu.

say that he likes to be liked by t’ae
women. The party does. It is the
uncommon interest of the women
which is giving most concern to the
Republicans. Among the most ag
gressive women vote is tjie former
anti-snffrnge faction. They never
would hnve asked for the ballot, but
having it now they will cast jt with
caution.
It is a unique campaign in very
many respects. Within 60 days con
siderable calamity has struck North
Carolina-. Always in the past the
Republicans have been able to unload
their own panics on the people. They
lost the 1892 election on flationwide
and worldwidp disaster, but they sell
“Cleveland panic” to the voters to this
day. The North Carolina fetish pro
tection cannot save the country, but .
Hie one thing that redeems the pub

Governor Morrison calls a DemocraHc
banking system. ■

Dawson is going to get credit for hav

NORTH CAROLINA IS
FIFTH IN FEDERAL TAXES
Only New Toth, Pennsylvania, Mich
igan and Illinois Exceed Her.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, Oct. 26.—Revenue Col
lector Gilliam Grissom has written to
the department at Washington a letter
in response to one sent to Raleigh
giving the Washingtonians the low
down on North Carolina and assur
ing the national capital of his satisfac
tion that only New York, Pennsyl
vania, Michigan and Illinois turn more
federal tax Into the national treasury
than Norm Carolina does.
Mr. Grissom of course could not col
lect more taxes than the state Caesars
in those places did, but he did rake
in what he took with the least ado
about it. There are 65 districts iu
the country. Mr. Grissom leads them
all in per cent. It takes him and a
dime or thereabouts to get one hun
dred dollars.
Hut even in that realm Mr. Gris
som does not boast. He declines to
impute Ms luck unto righteousness.
He says the reason that he'collects
so cheaply is that be has tobacco and
there is very little expense connected
with tobacco collections.
The collector likewise reminds the
department in Washington that the
five states which top me list pay 60
"Mr cent- of all the federal tuxi* of
a* .«B»ytUry. < He quotes mmwi-dy
else as having observed that there are
five empires of federal taxarioif and 43
Spates. He happens to be in the
imperial five.
Collector Grissom has done his work
with an amazingly small force and
notwithstanding the fact that- he lays
a terrific burden on t'.te employees of
the government, he takes fewer hours
off, gets less Vacation and spends
more time iu his office than any mem
ber of the force from chief deputy
down to janitor. The super-partisan
as he was regarded in his old days
is a great laborer.

denied reports that the government
had asked Queen Marie to curtail her
visit in the United States. An equally
strong denial was issued of the ex

Ferdinand, requesting that the Queen
return to Koumauia. Both reports
were regarded at the foreign office as
absurd, and as coming from unauthor

and to discredit Koumauia.

I N LIKELY' QUEEN MAJUE
!*, wax VISIT N. CAROLINA
Various Doveiqpipepts Are Seen as
Hindrances to Her Coming.
I Jonathan Daniels in Winston-Salem'
Journal.
Washington. D. 0„ Oct. 23.—vf'on
siderable doubt, as to whether Qlieen
Marie of Rumania will ever make
her promised visit to North Carolina
is entertained by North Carolinians
in Washington.
Nothing more than the bare an
nouncement that North Carolina
would be one of the States visited
and a personal greeting to Mrs. B.
Frank Mebane, of Spray, from the
famous Queen of the little Balkan
State is know'll about this visit to
North Cnro'ina apparently, although
it was indicated that Marie wanted
to visit Asheville.
Now comes reports that Ferdi
nand. who although he is better
known as Marie's husband, is still
King of Rumania, wants his Queen
to come back home in order to stop
growing criticism of the commercial
features of her trip.
Reports that Ferdinand was cab
ling his Queen to turn back towards
home were denied yesterday by mem
bers of the Queen's party, but it wad
learned today that an official com
munique in Bucharest announced
the Queen’s return as imminent.
Although the Queen's sore throat
will probably be assigned as the
reason if she does cut'abort her visit
to America, it is understood that
Ferdinand is worried about criticism
of the commercial features of the
tour which appear to be hurting the
dignity of the royal house of Rn
mania. Between Marie, herself and
her son. Prince Carol, the Rumanian
dynasty has been beating every other
European royal family to the front
page for months.
Marie is now- beginning a thirty
day tour of the United States and
Canada, and if she is called home
and obeys Ferdinand’s call like n
good old-fashioned wife, it is re
garded as unlikely that time will b<
left for her to visit North Carolina.
Mm. Mebane. friend of the
Queen’s, who was to have been her
unofficial hostess in North Carolina,
has already seen Marie in New York.
Mrs. Mebane yesterday acted as
spokesman for the women delegates
named by the Governors of the var
ious States at a luncheon in New
York. Mrs. Mebane presented the
Queen with a gift from these women
emassaries from the States to the
i Queen in the form of an illustrated
autographed book.
“And since,” said Mrs. Mebane.
“postcripts are the most important
part of a woman's message, here is
our postscript. Will you please give
us the book back so we may have it
embossed in gold at Tiffany’s and
have it ready for you when you come
back for the sad goodby? When you
come hack we have arranged for you
to aaya goodby to your people in
Rumania by radio during the every
readv hour, the not quite ready
hour.”

I'.mrities a fid public welfare and the
State boqrd of health, J,. H. Whitley
has made 260 inspections of prison
camps, and 273 inspections -of city
and county jails, and hus travelled
over 22,000 miles in the interest of
his work.-
The legnl requirements for the man
agement of penal institutions would
insure the proper treatment of pris
oners. By the joint arrangement be
tween the two boards, Mr. W'liitley
is available to any who wish advice
and help in trying to make alt penal
institutions fulfill tile requirements of
the law.
Besides the large number of official
inspections, he has held hundreds of
conferences with county health offi
cers, superintendents of county road
systems, jailers, county commissioners
and others directly or indirectly con
nected with management of prison
camps and jails,
i Mr. Whitley holds to file belief that
although offenders against the law
should be required, if possible, to be
employed, that they should be provided
with safeguards for their health, and
that the law hus no right to inflict
a double sentence—to add to the sen
tence of imprisonment, as sentence to
disease from filth. With this principle
in mind, be has enlisted hearty co
operation and changes are being made
to make the penal institutions comply
with the legal requirements.
Mr. Whitley •has investigated all
letters concerning complaints from
prisoners aboqt their treatment and
from interested citisens. He has usu
ally found that there was some ground.
One wrote that he had been in jail
for over a month and had not had a
bath. "This place,'Miewrote;'"ain't
fit tor a dog to be in.” It was.found
that the jail had no provisions for
,a Stath and niWning put
in.
At one .prison camp, it was found
that the water for the prisoners was
taken from a ditch which drained di
rectly from the hill on which the camp
and the stables were located. The
water is now gotten from a driven
ptiinp.
In another jail, some of the prison
ers had been sleeping on the concrete
floor. Now double beds have been
provided and the jail is spotlessly
dean.
COMMON SCHOOLS FIRST
Should Come Before the Higher Learn
ing, Thinks Ex-Gov. Morrison.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, Oct. 26.—University men
who have been reading accounts of the
speeches of former Governor Morri
son in which he declares that the state
must first be fair to the common
schools before it treats more gener
ously the instruction of higher learn-,
ing, are set for the battle in the gen
eral assembly next spring.
Weeks ugo it was prophesied in
these columns that such a fight is sure
to take place: and over the very issue
raised by Mr. Morrison. However, it
is not certain that the increase in
lliie equalizing fund is going to be so
simple as Governor Morrison has said
it will be. He believes the great
augmentation of the fund is possible
without levying any more tax. cer
tainly without recourse of the adval
orem levy. It is assumed that he
favors the eight months term on the
same principle.
The economists in Raleigh do not]
find the money so easily. Thus far
Mr. Morrison ’aas not pointed in the
direction of such source. Aud that
will probably make the school tight
livelier when somebody does name the
source of taxes which will augmeut
the school funds. There were many
such suggestions in the 1825 general
assembly. The Western men in the
lower liouse offered various suggestions
fashioned after the federal depart
ment taxes. There are hints at the
sales tax, but very little sentiment
was discovered in that assembly and
State Chairman Daw-sou was dead
agaiunt a course which aas coise to
be described as "nuisance taxes.”
The next general .assembly acting
upon the eight months school term
will not go further than to enact a
measure providing for a vote on the
eight months school term in 1928.
It is understood that the legislature
will favor that law and wiU dispose
of it by referendum. The school peo
ple think they can carry it.
