Gastonia Gazette.
Once more the Gastonia Junior
American legion team brings state
championship honors to the city.
Congratulations are in order to
Coach Casey Morris and his young
sters. They now advance a step
further in me round for national
and sectional honors.
The position of this newspaper
on this Junior baseball is known
by those who make any pretense
at keeping up with local affairs.
We regard It as one of the finest
things the American Legion has
ever done. Tire intense interest
with which the fortunes of tire
youngsters arc followed by the
hundreds throughout the county
bears out our behci. The best ball
players in this county come from
the cotton nulls. There is no doubt
of that. Most of the young boys
on the local team are from the cot
ton mill communities. As a result
of this, there is being created and
fostered in this county a spirit of
comradship and mutual under
standing that is priceless. As has
so often been raid, this American
Legion Junior baseball is one of the
best insurance policies the county
of Gaston can provide against Com
munism. and the other ills that go
with labor unrest and unemploy
ment
The entire community from Main
street to South Fork and Panhandle
unite in acclaiming these boy. -and
wish them well as they advance
another round. i

Wake Officials
To Fight Cut In
Their Salaries
Raleigh, Aug 15.—Wake county
officials, elected by thelf own peo
ple, and by them pledged a certain
salary, today declined to go into
rhapsodies over the demand of tax
payers and county officials that a
voluntary cut be taken by all and
sundry of these office holders.
The pernicious doctrine that gov
ernments have other “sacred1’ con
tracts than those of meeting bond
maturities and notes given at ter
riiically high rates of .ntercst, is so
spreading that actually the smitten
salary earners are making sugges
tions. There lias been from many a
high source In the state suggestion
that when persons paid salaries are
asked to take a cut banks and fin
ancial houses of all ktndr. agree to
take their cut in similar way.
Whether this is to become a popular
proposal or not Is impossible to say
now because it is so new. But per
sons who draw salaries are hiring
lawyer to talk back for them.
Durham has had a round of it
and now Wake. The Wake officials
fortunately do not have to defend
very high salaries. They have no
body on this county payroll, for
instance, who draws a higher sal
ary than the governor rr the chiel
justice of North Carolina's supreme
court, Former Solicitor Leon S
Brassfield presented* the case for
the salaried class today. These of
tice holders have taken one cut.
Solicitor Brassfield thinks another
now is unduly hard.
Dr. J. Y, Joyner, president of the
Wake County Relief association and
member of tire budget committee
was present at the meeting of the
county commissioners. There were
no new requests from him and his
organisation. He thought very well
of the proposed budget which is
$40000 less than it was before the
commissioners worked on it.
The county tax rate is to be about
88 cents. That is regarded fair.

Board Prepares To Loan Money
To BurdenedHomeOwners
Washington,—The board of di- j
rectors of the new federal home
loan discount bank system organized
today and immediately began for
mulating policies to ease the burden
on struggling home owners and
those holding none-liquid real estate
mortgages valued at billions.
President Hoover greeted the bi
partisan board of five at the White
House shortly after they were sworn
by E. W. Libby, chief clerk at the
commerce department.
Obviously pleased that the last of
his economic rehabilitation projects
approved by congress was getting
under way, President Hoover cheer
fully wished the directors "good
luck" in their new endeavors.
Franklin tV. Fort of Newark, N.
J„ farmer Republican house mem
ber who left his banking and in
surance business to assume the
chairmanship, said:
"We reported to the President that
we are on the Job and ready to
iiegin work. Our first job is to for
mulate general policies of the or
ganization."
The directors behind closed doors
at the commerce department, studi
ed the problem of creating from
eight to twelve districts for as many
banks of eleven directors each.
The value of mortgages held oh
homes worth $20,000 and less by
building loan associations, insurance
companies and other financial in
stitutions, will largely determine the
districting. Virtually every city has
applied for one of the banks.
F.ach of the banks will have ?.
minimum capital of $5,000,000.
Chairman Fort said as soon as the
system was sat up. subscription
books for stock would be opened.
Only in the event the stock is not
sufficiently taken will the board re
sort to the $125,000,000 capital fund
set up by congress through the Re
construction corporation to com
plete the subscription, he explained.
The districts will not be Identical
to the twelve federal reserve dis
tricts. the act specifically providing
that no states shall be split. This
is to prevent confusion over differ
ent state law’s. Fort said.
Fort said the provision making the
small mortgages available for redis
count purposes would relieve the
strain on both borrowers and mort
gage holders,
