BETTS ASKS RALEIGH AN IMPORTANT QUESTION The Editor: Tlie State of North Carolina and ita political subdivisions are required to aend out of the State a sun) exceed iog.25 million dollars a year.in hard, cold cash, for payments, principal and interest on bonds. It makes no difference how .hara mis casn comes, u ha. to Ji nrovided. A lanze snare of it has been wrung from lnd and home owners. The theory of land "taxes is, that land produces some thing, and out of thatjiroduction, the owners should pay a percentage as taxes. There never was any inten tion when money had.jfep be raised that a $5000 jiiece of property be sacrificed by the owner to supply the State with $200 cash, say. to pay out on debts or"otherwi?s. Neither was there ever any inten tion to tax property at 25 per cent, or 5 percent, or 100 Percent, of th actual cash auction-sale Value. But that is the proposition as it now stands in thes tax foreclosure suits, of which there are 10,000 in Bun combe, county alone, and so all over the State. Anv such proposition is uncon scionable. The set of laws passed by the legislature over a period of years, lumped together as tax collection procedure, do not make sense. If there is a legal remedy fpr every le gal wrong, as they claim, there is a defense somewhere, for this injustice. And it is as hard on the working people as it is on the property own ers. They must take every dollar and pav & over, and it leaves little for hiring other peoplx to do anything. It would be a good thing if bid ders for property were under notice, that in buying at tax sales, they were takinsr advantage of a situation which had defects in it legally, the coun ties might be able to possess these pieces instead and Hold them until .

Fw would agree with me, but I would cloe tho schools down before I would unjustly dispossess people of their homes. I think the home is worth more than the school to the children. I think a State which pro tects its homes and encourages home owning, a srreater State than one which seeks first to educate"children at nublic school. But that is not necessary. The coming legislature, first, if possible, should borrow money. The State credit is no doubt better just now than the credit of home owners. The tiiuii Vllf v. v v v iivniv v iyiv i State can raise needed money more cheaply that way. Money to loan, is go;r&7 begging. If the raney could not be borrow ed, then the State should issue cer tificates for payment in whole or in part of all state bills, and make theses certificates receivable for taes. Shis would be boot-leg money, it might le argued, but it would put money in circulation, help everybody in the State and the State itself. It is fact that such certificates have1 more than once broken. the stranglehold of bank ers on a monetary situation, which, of course, like other people, they will naturally turn to their advantage. I haye a suspicion that somehow or other, the. back of this Oppression will be broken in some way or other by boot-leg money. don't know how it will work, but we must have a me dium of exchange in available quan tity. to maintain c.iviliiation.' I think California is going to print and cir culate boot-letr money end I think by doing so, they will start the' wheels going there again. If this is possible, if hte State can make an Issue of certificates, or bonds of $1 denomination, or- whatever it mirht be called, I believe they jrfU be acceptable at not a ruinous, if any, discount, and the State', can fi nance itself and State activities in great part, and I think it should be done. I don't think , Wa ' ought to wait here until the great mills of fi nance, politics, intrigue, monopoly, etc., elsewhere have finished ' their grinding to dust of all who get caught between their stones. ; ! , j And I have a theory, jn the end, the States will save the country, and not as ' now supposed, the country save Ihe States. .-. - - Wt workable.' plans of real re construction do pur candidates for Raleigh have? - - ' ANSON G.

C, THURSDAY, n AT MARS Collage CeUbraU 7Sdi BirtUay A 506 Hear Dr. Few Addraa MARS HILL, Oct 12 (Special) The world must . be built around human beings, and society with its Institutions should be created and op erated for the benefit of individuals, Dr, William Preston Few, president of Duke University, said last Friday mominj in delivering phg Founders Day address at Mars Hill College. Speaking to more than 500 as sembled in the college auditorium at 11 o'clock to celebrate the 78th an niversary of the founding of the col lege Dr. Few paid tribute to those who established Mars Hill and other Institutions. Many educational insti tutions, he said, are older than the nations which they serve. He ex pressed approval of the effort of Mars Hill to giv individual attention to students, to give morality religious sanction, to teach people to live to gether and to think well of each oth er in such a way as to prepare them for a world-wide brotherhod of un derstanding. Every educated man, Dr. Few said, is a self-educated man, and the dan cer of elaborate equipment, posses sions, or prestige is that one will re ht on these. All honor as well as all failure is with the individual, he said. He also emphasised the importance of edudation as a life-time process rather than a few years of formal college training. Speaking of morals in modern youth, Dr. Few said that he could take, care of the younger people if someone would take care of the older ones and keep from youth the bad in fluences of their examples and insti tutions. The moral order is the same as when the morn'ng stars sang together, he said, and the stream of time is the same though it sometimes strikes the rapids as well as resting in stagnant pools. Dr. Few was a guest of the college at an informal reception by the fac ulty in the home economics, depart merjj; Thursday night. The Founders Day program was o pened fcy prayer led y Dr. E. Gib son Davis, pastor of the First Bap tist church of Asheville, following the singing; of i'Faith of Oar Fathers" by the , audience. President Moot in troduced the superintendent of edu cation, pastors, members of the board of truotees, and immediate descend ants of Edward Carter present. He announced several gifts to the college since la?l Founders Day, ona of which was a irtft of $530 which the girls of the college had raised to" begin a fund for a new dormitory for girls. One daughter of Edwjjrd Carter, on whose birthday the college cele brates Founders Day annually, was present, Mrs. Wi O. Connor, wife of the present mayor of Mars Hill. Music for the I igram was" furnish ed by the college glee cluib and or chestra. The closing prayer was of fered by the Rev. J. B. Grice, pastor of Calvary Bantist church of West Asheville and chairman of the board of trustees.

His name was Edward Livingston Tru deau and the little cottage that he built years ago forms the design of the seal this year. Dr. Trudeau was a young man living in New York city just beginning his medical ca reer when he became ill and his ailment was diagnosed as tuberculosis. In those days this was the equivalent of a sentence of death, for few were those who ever lived to overcome the scourge. Dr. Tru deau did not think that he could go counter to the best o ninion of the day when he went o the Adirondack mountains to live in the open ; in fact, he did so without any thought of 'ind-'ng a cure. He merely wished to end his days in the oursuits most pleasant to him ; unting and fishing." But he got better. He no ticed that often after exercise h felt, .si oraa,and. f Jttai rpinp he imrroved. He liv ,id, iin .his own life, a demon stration of the way. to fight tu berculosis. Indeed this was a fine piece of research in tuber culosis witlTDr. Trudeau'g own life as laboratory. The prize was life, not only to Dr. Tru deau but to millions who have followed him. He won. Had he not been a trained observ er, competent to interpret his own symptoms, and entitled to a hearing by his fellow doctors and the public because of his professional training, his ex perience might never have been recognized by1 himself or ac corded acceptance by the world. "This acceptance was slow o come, but it came at last. Trudeau raised money from a mong acquaintances as well as strangers, to build an institu tion for .indigent casesV Usual ly this money . was given by people who had little faith in i cure fpr the disease, but who :ould not resist the request of a nan who asked nothing lor himself. . 1 PRICE $1.00 A YEAR Extortionist Flees As Girl Shoots At Him With Pistol fcEr-SE BAILEY REPORTED SEEIt IN CAR DURING POLICE CHA5K A mountain jrirl's story of how sha blazed away with an automatic pistol at a man who threatened to kill bar if she didn't gej; him $1,000 from the school teacher couple for whom she works, had officers of Madison and Buncombe county yesterday engaged in a mad chase over county roads af ter a green coupe in which officers said they recognized Reese Bailey, escaped .convict, who was sentenced from Asheville two yea.rs ago. The girl, Elsei Price, takes care of the four-year-old son of Mr. and Mr;. J. V. Howell, while the Howells teach school at Beech Glen high near Ivy. Monde-- morning at 10:30 o' clock. Miss Price4 who is the daugh ter i Mr. and Mrs. Richard Price of Spring Creek, said that while she ana the child were alone, the stranger, whose description, as she gave it, re sembes that of Bailey, walked into the house unannounced, and stood a gainst the mantle GIRL GRABS PISTOL Mr. Howell's pistol lay on the man tle, and the girl grabbed it to defend herself, and when she did, the man tried to seize her, she said. She forc ed him out the door, but he remained in the yard and asked her a number of questions about her employers. "Jf they've got a car anj both got jobs, they must have some money" he said. Finally, though, she threatened to shoot him if he didn't leave and he went p.wav cursing. Yesterday morning, only a few" minutes after Mr. aid Mrs. Howell had left, Miss' Price said the same man came walking down the road. She ran in the house and got the pis tol, met him in the yard ad ordered him away but he had a gun. too, she said, end a raincoat over one arm. He dened her, she said, and begaa demanding money, and at last said: "I'll give yn 'till tomorrow morn' in' to"leavme a thousand dollars on the gatepost; if you don't I'll kill vou!" FIRES AT MAN L ,, With that, she said, j she said, she fired at With the aid of a (bov who passed soon after, the alarm was, spread and a posse organized to search the woods. Deputy Sheriff K. McMahon of Marshall arrived and bloodhounds were sent from Asheville. About noon, Hubert Davis and El dridge Leake, deputies, and Garner Hutchins, Mars Hill policeman, saw a green coupe pull out of a side road near the Howell home. They gave chape and pursued the car all the way to Alexander, where it :?ave them the slip. Later another carload of officers including McMahan sighted the car, but it also eluded them. Several of the officers said that one of the two men in the car was Reese Bailey. Buncombe county deputies patroll ed roads looking for. the green coupe yesterday afternoon, but never sight ed if, Sheriff Laurence Brown said. Reese Bailey was sentenced in su perior court here about two vears a iro for robbing Jack Green, rural po 'sicetvan, of his pistol. He was piven seven to ten yirs and .-caed last May from State's Drison. ,On Sep tember 30 he fled from his home on Hog-RrB'ich of Jack's Creek and e luded nine officers who had surround ed t.hp.house.
