THE TARIFF
Low Tariff It Is Claimed Will
Wipe Out New England In
dustries Crippling New Eng
land.
The New England Democrats
are certain to demand free raw
materials for themselves without
stopping to think that their raw
materials are the finished pro
ducts of other sections of the
country. The plea is made in
behalf of Xew England that, in
asmuch as she produces no raw
materials, she would be wiped off
the map by too radical a down
ward revision, because all she can
do is to produce finished factory
products.
Is The Tariff Section.
Representative Peters of Mas
sachusetts, one of the members
of the Ways and Means Commit
tee that is voting for free sugar,
is at the head of a combination
of New England and other fac
torv district Democrats organiz
ed for tlic purpose of preventing
any drastic action on articles pro
duced in New England. -
'"nose who disagree with what
the New Englandcrs are trying
tii do contend that what they are
rc. lly trying for is to bring abin'.
a Mtuation that has so long buoii
fought for by New England Re
publicans, that is to say, pro tec
live duties for the products o'
New England and free trade or
exceptionally low duties for the
products of the other sections.
New England Seeks Alliance
t ne section of the New Eng
land group is seeking an alliance
with representatives from the
cotton mill sections of the South
to prevent drastic action with re
gard to the duty on coarse cot
tons, the idea being that New
England, as a manufacturer of
fine grades of cotton goods, must
now concede something to the
Southern mill interest.
Twenty-eight Democratic Rep
resentatives from the Middle
West are reported to be 1 anded
together to prevent deep cuts on
farm products for instance,
mules, hay, corn, bacon, potatoes
and such things, which the cane
growers of Louisiana have to
buy.
Drastio Motor Law
Our readers will be vitally in
terested in the new automobile
law ratified by the present legis
lature. In brief, it may be stated that
the new law includes motor cy
cles but exempts fire wagons, po
lice patrols and ambulances.
The old, law did not provide
for uniform display numbers, of
ficers' could not tell whether an
owner's license had been cancell
ed. Under the new act the num
bers are furnished by the Secre
tary of State, and changed an
nually in style and color, so that
it may be seen at a glance wheth
er or not a machine is properly
registered.
Licensed Tax
The fees fixed by the" new act
will be a source of no little reve
nue for the use of the various
counties, and at the present rate
.of increase in the use of motor
vehicles, should within . a few
years provide an amount suffici
ent to aid materially in the up
keep of the roads. The use of
this money is left to the discre
tion of the county authorities.
Under the old law $3 from each
registration is returned to the
county, which $3 is all that the
county gets from one machine, .'.
as the law does not require that '
the present renewal fee, or any
part of it, be turned back to the
Groatost Political Peril
county. Under the new law the
registration fees are collected
each year and no renewal fee is
provided for. The fees of $5,
$7.50 and $m will be divided be
tween the county and State, the
latter getting 20 per cent and the
county 80 per cent.
The old law docs not provide
for a dealer's license, and to
comply with the law the dealer
had to register each machine
handled and go through the pro

"THE CHIEF CORNER
STONE
The topic as indicated above
was the subject of consideration
at the Friends meeting last
evening. The meeting opened
with a beautiful spirit of prayer.
The message was given' with
earnestness and clearness. e
are cither believers or unbeliev
ers. Scripture gives no middle
ground of faith, neither should
we.
To the believer Jesus is preci
ous first of all for his rare beau
ty of character. He is in
fact the chief corner stone of
character. Then Jesus is previ
ous for his usefulness to man
Christianity is a workable thing.
His preciousness is also manifest
ed by his strict faithfulness for
He is the friend of man. Itest
all He is our great liberaton,
freeing us from the fetters of sin
and giving us the opportunity to
develop full rounded manhood
and womanhood. Will you let
Him be precious to your soul!
The meetings will continue this
week and Friday afternoon there
will be a special meeting for

NEW ADS
Moffitt Furnishing Co, ,
Miss Venetia Smith,
Leonard-Reavans-Stamey Co.
Making the rounds with one
of our ablest physicians day be
fore yesterday, we came in con
tact with several cases, and one
specific case, in special which
showed the urgent need of a city
department to our present well
equipped home institution the
High Point Hospital. We hav
a large growing population here
and perhaps no town in North
Carolina needs a "city ward"
providing medical assistance to
the needy to the same extent that
High Point does. The city cares
for many distinct cases, but it
falls to burden of the physicians
to contribute largely of their
time and means on cases every
week, that should come within
the scope ami care of a well reg
ulated city department. The
nuestion is a serious one and a
humane one to conserve the life
of those who through accident
on the one hand, or misfortune
upon the other need medical
care and attention and have no'
way of getting it except through
the mercy and charity of some
noble hearted physician.
The City Council ought not to
be long in taking this matter up
on its merits.
LAST DAY LEGISLATURE.
Women of School Boards.
The Senate last night passed
the bill to make women eligible
to membership On school com
mittees, boards of trustees of
graded schools, colleges for girls,
as well as the State Text Book
Commission, by declaring such
places, not offices but positions
of honor and trust.
Tax Commission Killed
The House spent most of a
four-hour session last night con
sidering the machinery act, which
came from the finance committee
I.-tt night. The most important
difference between this and form
er machinery acts was that this
provided for the creation of a
State Tax Commission, compos
ed of three members to be ap
pointed by the governor, to have
entire supervision of the entire
tax system of the State. This
provision was eliminated by a
vote of fifty to thirty-four. Other
amendments were adopted and
the bill passed its second reading
and went over until today for
some other amendments on third
reading.
To Amend the Search and Seiz
ure Law.
"Section 1. That the act pass
ed at this session of the General
Asesmbly, entitled "An act to se
cure the enforcement of the laws
against the sale and manufac
ture of intoxicating liquors,"
which was ratified on the third
day of March, 1913, shall not be
so construed as to make it un
lawful for any transportation
company from other states to.
any person in this State spiritu
ous, vinous and malt liquors in
tended for private use and not for
sa'e, and the presumption raised
by said act against the person
receiving or having in possession
the said liquors in excess of the
quantities therein stated that the
same is intended for sale, shall
not apply to any transportation
company so as to make the ship
ment presumptively for an un
lawful purpose or use.
"Sec' 2. That it shall be law
ful for any express or transporta
tion company to transport spirit
uous, vinous or malt liquors
from other states to any person
in this State, when the same is
for private use and not for sale.
"Sec. 3. That all laws in con
flict with thi. act are hereby re
pealed in so 4ar as they conflict
herewith and no further."
