New President For Enforcing Count ay’s Laws Hoover Has Two Major Proposal* In Inaugural Speech. World Peace. Washington.-—With simple, force ful language reflective of his own personality. Herbert Hoover Mon day dedicated himself and his ad ministration to law enforcement at home and the promotion of peace throughout the world. These two purposes stood out in bold relief in his Inaugural address, delivered from a simply decorated stand on the east front of the Capi tol after he had taken the oath as the thirty-first president of the United States. Declaring that the most malign of all the dangers from which self government must be safeguarded today Is the disregard and dis obedience of law, the president said that "to consider these evils, to find their remedy, is the most sore necessity of our times.'’ expeditions Justice. "Rigid and expeditious Justice is the first safeguard of freedom, the basis of all ordered liberty," the vital force of progress," he said. “It must not come to be In our republic that it can be defeated by the indiffer ence of the Citizen, by exploitation of delays and entanglements of the law or by combinations of crimi nals. Turning to the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment. Mr. Hoover asserted that abuses which had grown up around it arc cue In part to the failure of some states to ac cept their share of the responsi bility for concurrent enforcement and the failure of many state and local officials to zealously enforce the law. "But a large responsibility rests directly upon our citizens," he as serted. "There would be little traf fic In Illegal liquor if only crimi nals patronized It. The duty of citizens to support the law is co equal with the duty of their govern ment to enforce the laws which ex ist. "Our whole system of self-gov ernment will crumble either if of flals elect what laws they will en force or citizens elect what laws they will support. The worst evil of disregard for some law is that it destroys respect for all law.” Immediate Step. As one immediate step for an im provement of conditions. President Hoover declared it essential “that a large part of the enforcement activities be transferred from the treasury department to the depart ment of justice as a beginning of more effective organization.” Reiterating his determination to appoint a national commission for a searching investigation the chief executive disclosed that its inquiry would go tt> the whole structure of the federal system of Jurisprudence os well as to methods of enforce ment of the eighteenth amendment and the causes of abuse under it. Solemnly asserting that the Unit ed States not only desires peace with the world, but to see peace maintained throughout the world, the president expressed the hope for ultimate American adherence to the World court and declared that the acceptance of the recent treaty for the renuclatlon of war "should pave the way to greater limitation of armatdent. the offer of which we sincerely extend to the world." Expressing his belief that no more potent instrumentality for the pacific settlement of controversies between nations than the World court has ever been conceived Mr. HOliver declared “no other is prac ticable of establishment." World Court. "The reservations placed upon our adherence should not be mis interpreted.” he continued. "The • United States seeks by these reser vations no special prlxllege or ad ' vantage, but only to clarify our re lation to advisory opinions and Other matters which are subsidiary to the major purposes of the court “The way should, and I believe Will, be found by which we may take our proper place In a move ment so fundamental to the prog ress of peace." There was just u single line rel erence to national defense in the en tire address, which was four thou sand words in length. It was: "Peace can be contributed to by respect for our ability in defense. ‘ Adverting to his recent good-will tour of Latin America, the presi dent said each of the republics to the south was building “a racial character and a culture which is an impressive contribution to human ' progress." 1 "We wish only for the mainte nance of their independence, the 11 growth of their stability and thei prosperity,” he said. Special Session. Turning again to domestic af ’ fairs the chief executive raid fur ther agricultural relief and "limit ed changes in the tariff "cannot, fci Justice to our farmers, our labor and manufacturers, be postponed, tuyung that he would request a apecial session cf congress for the Consideration of these questions.

He declared that public health service "should be ns fully organized and as universally Incorporateo Into our governmental system as is public education." "It appears to me,” he went on. "that the more important further mandates from the recent election were the maintenance of the integ rity #of the Constitution: the vigor ous enforcement of the laws; the continuance of economy in public expenditure; the continued regula tion of business to prevent, domina tion in the community; the denial of ownership or operation of busi ness by the government in competi tion with its citizens; the avoidance of policies which would involve us in the controversies of ioreign na tions; the more effective reorgani zation Of the departments of the federal government; the expansion of public works; and the promo tion of welfare activities affecting education and the home.” Asserting that the questions be fore the country were problems of progress to higher standards, Mr. Hoover said they demanded thought and they served to "quicken the conscience and enlist our sense of responsibility for their settlement." Responsibility. “And Hint responsim'.ity rests upon you, my countryman, as much as upon those of us who have been selected for office," he added, “burs is a land rich in resources: stimu lating in its glorious beauty: filled with millions of happy homes; blessed with comfort and oppor tunity. In no nation are the insti tutions of progress more advanced* In no nation are the fruits of ac complishment more secure. In no nation is the government more worthy of respect. No country is more loved by its people. I have an abiding faith in their capacity, integrity and high purpose. I have no fears for the future of our country. It is bright with hope. “In the presence of my country men, mindful of the solemnity of this occasion, knowing what the tasks means and the responsibility which tt involves, I beg your tol erance, your aid and your coopera tion. I ask the help of Almighty God in this service to my country to which you have called me.” Citizens Object To Salary Portion Charter Measure (Continued from page one.) i ond man of $250—a total of $4,200 Hamrick .Suggestion. | The suggested changes in the city j i charter, as Incorporated in the | legislative bill now in the hands of! i Representative Mul). were made, or 1 I rather outlined by Mr. T W. Ham- j rick, former city alderman, who j perhaps is better versed on the city j charter and the technical and non technical details than any Shelby j citizen other than lawyers who have aided in framing charters.1 In other words, Mr. Hamrick, a close student of city government! due to ills contact with the muni-J cipial board for years, believed that I the changes lie suggested were! needed and after having them ap- j proved they were drafted into a1 bill and given to the county's rep resentative. As was stated above the major portion of citizens interested in the government of the town are of the opinion that practically all of the changes mentioned in the bill are really needed, which is to say that the charter should be modernized, but in the meantime there seems to be considerable objection among these citizens and others to leaving a loophole whereby the offices of mayor and manager could cost $4,200 per year. It is understood by those complaining that the mat ter of all the salaries would, of course, be up to the city board, but it is argued that there might come a board and a time when the salary figures would be moved to the maximum. Whether or not the complaint wil be filed in formal manner with Representative Mull is not known.

Lower Rates Made By Western Union The Western Union Telegraph company announced two drastic ! reductions in its overnight cable! rates to Great Britain arid Ireland yesterday (Monday). The company's j rate for short cable night letters is j reduced from 8 cents to.6 cents per j word, or twenty-five per cent, and I letters is reduced from 7 cents to* 5 cents per word, cr twenty-nine j per cent. Both of these reduced word rates had been in effect by Western Un ion for a short time previously but in conjunction with lengthy mes- j sages of not less than fifty and one , hundred words respectively. These i minlmums are now reduced to} tweny-five words. Under the new tariffs' a twenty-five word cable night letter may be sent from Shel- j by to London for one dollar and | fifty cents. The previous rate was one dollar and sixty cents for a I twenty word night letter. The new week-end cable letter between Shel by and London for one dollar and twenty-five cents as against a pre vious charge of one dollar and forty cents for a twenty wtrd cable let ter. The new rates mark the third reduction in rates for overnight services made by Western Union. Now has the following cable services available to Great Britain and Ire land: Service Rate' Preferred .-_ 31c per word Ordinary.. 28c per word Deferred ..28c per word Cable night letter - Gc per word 25 word min. wk-end 5c per word HERE IS BIBLE VERSE HOOVER CHOSE TO KISS Washington.—This is the verse from Proverbs which Herbert Hoo ver selected to kiss on the admin | isvration to him of the oath of of fice as president: "Where there is no vision the people perish; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Mull Says Fight Now Over Taxes Between East And Piedmont (Continued from page one.) does not think the industrial sec-1 tion should bear practically all of j the state's burden and much of the burden in the farming coun ties. It is a fight which Mr. Mull enjoys for he is regarded as one of the most stubborn fighters in the house. Now and then it becomes necessary to compromise in order to get an amicable settlement. Mr. Mull vigorously opposed a bond Issue of two millions for im provements at state schools and penal institutions because he said it was no time to issue bonds when economy is necessary and on this issue he stampeded the house, car rying it with him. On the follow ing day he agreed for a reconsider ation in order to win on other is sues for which he stands. Innocent To Suffer. Speaking of the revenue bill, Mr. Mull says a way has been found to raise five millions. Two snd a half millions irfbre are necessary and In finding a source for this, he is fear ful that innocent and already over taxed enterprises will suffer. Mr. Mull is trying to ward off a sectional issue on taxation. but says it has loomed big in the eyes of the legislators and cannot be side stepped. While taxes are dis tressingly high in the farming sec tions, he does not want industries to be choked to death. In Piedmont Carolina, land values are high be cause of the Industries, lie says and if new plants kept from North Carolina because of high taxes and the plantg already here are over burdened, the Piedmont section will suffer a set-back which may never be overcome. Killing The Goose. "Farm relief,” therefore is an is sue in North Carolina, with the danger, Mr. Mull says of going to the other extreme and killing the goose that lays the golden egg. He is sponsoring as much relief as he feels the state can give < without | crippling the industrial section. j Shelby, N. C.
