Roosevelt Plan Calls For Actual Money System And Not Scrip
|No Federal Issue
| Of Script During
Banking Holiday
New Program To Be
Ready Soon
•’resident Expected To Concentrate
On Legislation Guaranteeing
Bank Deposits.
By UNITED PRESS
Washington. March 8.—Secre
tary of the Treasury vVoodin
said today no serin or clearing
house1 certificates will be issued
[ “during the present banking
i emergency.”
Actual Money
He said actual money will be cir- j
culated instead of scrip and certi-1
ficates under the .plan now being |
formulated by the Roosevelt ad-1
ministration.
“I am stunned in admiration,' i
Secretary Wooain added, “at the!
j cooperation and confidence of the |
! people of this country during this
j crisis. We see light here. Thing'
i aren’t going to pieces.”
! Secretary Woodin also said tfcat
j the new program would be ready !
within a few days.
Roosevelt To Congress
j President Roosevelt will ask con
gress, meeting in special session to
1 morrow at noon, to concentrate on
I Immediate legislate:', effecting the
present emergesev, and it was In
dicated today by sources close to
the president that he will seek a
limited federal guarantee of bank
deposits.
Federal Reserve banks are being;
instructed to aid member banks in
carrying on the limited activities j
permitted under banking holiday i
regulations. Banks throughout the]
nation are now operating under]
those restrictions.
! Income Tax Helper
Is Here This Week
! O' B. Carpenter trom the snrtff’
j department Of revenue is spending
five,days in Shelby to assist income
tax payers in making out their in
come reports. Mr. Carpenter can be
found in the office of the clerk of
the court in the court house from
today through Friday and will glad
! ly assist any in making their state
\ returns.
I Highway Official
Now In Court House
W. A. Broadway,- supervisor of
state highways in Cleveland county
has moved his offices from the Roy
ster building to the court house. He
j is now occupying the office vacated
by Mrs. Irma Wallace, home dem
onstration agent, whose park was
suspended on February 1st.
Court Has Holiday
Also; No Cases Up
The Cleveland county record
er’s court had a holiday today
too. It was not because of any
proclamation or due to anything
connected, with banking, but
merely because there were no
new cases up for trial or any
continued over from previous
sessions. It was the first day la
the recent history of the court
that there wasn’t a single case „
on the docket, not even a con
tinued action.
Which means that although
there is a holiday on ho whoo
pee of the type that takes one
into court is being raised.
Type of Scrip Already in Use
OXR
nptamm
specie*
Here are samples of scrip, or emergency money, already In use in
Atlamc City, N. J., and Liverpool, N. Y. Following the proclamation
ot .President r ranklm D. Roosevelt, declaring an embargo on gold and
a nation-wide bank holiday, similar scrip will be issued throughout the
nation. It will be in denominations from $5 to $60 for a start with the
possibility of certificates for $1 being issued later. The President’s ac
fion was taken in line with his inaugural promise to assume war-time
tnorgency powers, and constitutes a technical (pro tem) abandonment
of the gold standard.
Local Banks Are Still On Holiday
But Transacting Some Business
No Checks Cashed Or Deposits Re
ceived, But Change Is Made.
Payroll Plan Later.
Local banks are still observing
the four day batik holiday ordered
by President Roosevelt and Gover
nor Ehringhaus, waiting patiently
from some announcement from
Washington.
Part of the clerical staff of the
.jibeiby banka were on duty today*
posting books, but the doors were
closed. Customers who had to have
larger bills changed Into small de
nominations of currency or coins
would be accommodated. Those who
have lock boxes in banks are per
mitted to get to them and govern
ment checks will be paid but no
gold can be paid out under the fed
eral restrictions. Entrance to the
banks can be had only on special
permission.
No deposits are accepted or money
paid out on check. As for payrolls,
George Blanton, vice president,
stated this morning that the indus
trial plants do not make up their
payrolls until later in the week and
he is expecting some provisions to
be authorized to take care of this
situation.
The banks are doing everything
in their power to observe the spirit
as well as the letter of the presi
| dewMWMH mfianiamiTi As Congress
convenes tomorrow, the president’s
message is no doubt in the last
stages of its drafting so it won't be
long until the public as well as the
bankers will know just the relief
plans decided upon. In the mean
time, business is marking time and
everybody feels confident that the
plan to meet the emergency will
have a permanent rather than a
temporary effect.

To Rare Money.
An economy plan is this week be
ing tried lor the first time in Cleve
land county as 54 jurors are being
summoned by mall for the two
weeks term of superior court, which
convenes in Shelby, Monday, March
27th.
It has been customary heretofore
for all jurors to be summoned by a
deputy, the officer receiving 50 cents
per summons for the work. The
new plan Is that of using a print
ed postal card with a printed re
turn card which the juror notified
Is supposed to sign and return. This
costs, it is said, less than three
cent* per Juror or summons. If all
Jurors so summoned will sign and
return their cards, as they are be
ing urged to do to effect a saving
for taxpayers, the county will save
approximately $275 per year.

Board Also Reduces
Prison Board Fee
New Sheriff, Going In April 1, To
Receive $S,500 For Himself
And Office Deputy.
Cleveland county'# new »herlff, J.
Raymond Cline,' who taka# office
Saturday. April 1, will receive a
salary of $3,500 per year from
which he must pay his own office
deputy or other clerical hire nec
essitated by the duttea of the office
and the collection of taxes.
This salary was fixed by the
county commissioners In their
meeting this week. Heretofore, ac
cording to Troy McKinney, county
accountant, the sheriff was allow
ed $4,500 for hia own salary and
with which to pay the salary ol
chief deputy and other clerical help
needed.
Nnmerona Cats
The reduction of the salary of the
sheriff was Just one of the several
slashes made by the board session.
Fees were fixed for the board of
prisoners in the county Jail. After
April 1 40 cents per day per prison
er will be the board fee when Jail
costs are paid by the prisoner, but
only 30 cents per day per prisoner
for board when the county Is liable
for the costs. Heretofore, It was
stated, the board fee was 50 cents
per prisoner per day when the costs
were paid either by the prisoner or
the county. The Jail key fee, for
locking prisoners In and releasing
them, was set at 35 cents each, dr
50 cent per prisoner when the pri
soner pays the costs or 13 1-3 cents
for each act, of 35 oents per prison
er w4Yn the county Is liable. Here
tofore the key fee eras 30 cents for
locking and 30 oents for release, or
50 cents per prisoner regardless ol
whether the cost was paid by the
prisoner or the county.
ThbTyear, the eommls#ioners"ain'
derstand, farmers of the county
who borrow from the government
crop loan fund will have to pay for
recording their own crop liens. Last
year the county recording fee for
theee liens was $1.10 each, the fee
being paid by the government.
Since it Is understood that the
farmers themselves will have to
pay the fee It was set tentatively at
75 cents per recording.
Heretofore It has been a right
renumerative thing to serve on a
coroner's Jury as the pay was $3 per
Juror, or a total cost of $13 for a
Jury of six. The commissioners re
duced this fee to 50 cents per Juror,
or $3 per Jury of six.
It was decided also that the ooun
ty would charge private property
owners $12.50 each In advance for
the right of tapping Into the water
line to the county home. For some
time, it is understood, no set sys
tem of charge has been followed In
this connection.
In addition to the several reduc
tions made tire board handled quite
a bit of other routine business.

on an eastern slope was selected for
the bed and brush was piled five
feet high on the spot and burned
as the first operation In making the
bed. the purpose being to kill weed
seeds as well as fungus organisms.
Then, the trash was raked off and
plowed with a small shovel on the
plow stock several times. Rocks and
(roots were removed and the whole
plot was made fine and level by
raking. After the seed were treated
by soaking them In 1 to 1000 solu

for ten minutes they were dried and
mixed with a6hes and seeded two
ways on the bed. The seeds were
tramped Into the soil. A canvass Is
still to be added as a. cover. As a

system has been so arranged that
unemployed who -refuse to acoept
employment offered them are not
given equal consideration with those
who desire and will accept work to

following: Twenty unemployed men
are working today at the Sunset
cemetery under the supervision of
an experienced foreman; 40 other
men are working at the city rock
quarry, where slnoe the first of the
month they have brought out 3,000

work; 10 men are being worked on
the Shelby streets; 30 other unem
ployed men are secured for one
day’s work by Sam*” mils through
the relief agency and cut 100 cords
of wood In a day; Kings Mountain
has unemployed men, secured
through the agency, working ort two
school building projects, while an
other force will soon go to work Im
proving the streets of the town;
other unemployed men are being
worked on seven or eight projects
to the county such as school Im
provement and work on rural cem
eteries; later some of the unemploy
ed may be used, to remove the
parkway In front of the new Pro
fessional building on South Wash
ington street.
The new relief agency set-up op
