Doughton Ca?ls t etc for
Vinson Bonus Measure
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Congressman
R. L. Doughton, of the Ninth
North Carolina District, voted for the
Vinson bill in the lionus battle in the
House of Representatives last week.
The Vinson bill had the support of
the American Legion, and was reported
favorably to the House Ways and
Means Committee, of which body Mr.
Doughton is chaii xiioi't.
Three major bonus bills were voted
on by the House: First, the Vinson
bill, introduced upon the request of
the American! Legion and supported
by that group of veterans. This bill
received the support of the Ways and
Means committee and the vote of Mr.
Doughton. It calls for the immediate
payment of the adjusted-service certificates
of the veterans of the World
War, to be financed as other obligations
of the Government are met. This
bill was defeated by a small margin.
The second measure was the Patman
bill, calling for the immediate
payment of the adjusted-service certificates
to World War veterans with
"printing press money." This measure
was designed primarily to bring
about inflation rather than obtain
payment of the bonus to assist the
veterans, it was charged. President
Roosevelt ana ieuders of the House
and Senate have openiy expressed opnnsition
to this measure, declaring it
would bring financial chaos to this
country, should it try to pay its debts
with printing press money. This bill
passed the House in defiance of the
threat of a Presidential veto.
Although opposed to the Patmar
bill. Mr. Doughton used his influence
to bring out a rule to make it possible
for it to be considered on the flooi
of the House.
The third measure was the TydingsAndrews
bill providing for the payment
of veterans' aujuotcd cervic*
certificates in coupon bonds of th?
United States equal to their present
face value with interest at the rat<
of three per cent per annum, frorr
January 1, 1936, to January. 1945. Mr
Doughton also voted for this meas
Tire after the Vinson bill was defeat
ed. It is believed that the Tydings
Andrews bill will form the basis o
compromise of the bonus question
Mr. Doughton. as a conferee of th
ilouse, will be in a position to use hi
influence to work out the best possi
ble bill for the veterans.

By M. R. DUNNACAN
(Special Correspondent)
RALEIGH. N. C.?The 1935-37 RevIenue
bill, including the three per cent
sales tax and without exemption,
passed its first reading and main hhrdle
in the House of "Representatives
1 Friday afternoon, on its second reading
at a midnight session the sajne
night, and on its third reading Monday.
the speed used being to get it
to the Senate early this week for its
consideration.
After one of the most hectic legis-l
lative weeks in many years the bill, |
as passed in the House, is in almost
the same form in which it was int.ro-j
Iduced two months ago and in which
it was reported out of the joint com-i
jmittee two weeks ago?which means
j that, it has been changed in only a*
few respects from the bill written!
ami approven ov tne Advisory Budget
Commission and Governor Ehringhaus.
It will ' almost" or may actually
provide revenues needed for the
appropriations bill which the House
is expected to take up and make short
work of this week.
The course ofj the bill starting in
the House the first of last week and
i to wiiicti lwu ocooicr.c doily v.'?r?
| voted, was one of the most unusual
legislative phenomena in the State>
history. As the week started the McDonald-Lumpkin
bloc, seeking to increase
corporate taxes and eliminate
the sales tax, gained much momentum
Tuesday and Wednesday in which
days it wrote into the bill in the form
of amendments almost all of the McDonald-Bumpkin
proposals.
Administration Forces Take Charge
Thursday, however, the day started
willi reversals and at the end of th$t
day the bloc had lost practically every
inch of ground it had gained. The
bloc had a comfortable majority the
first two days, but lost control Thursday
and by Friday was in complete
rout by the so-caUe<l atimiittajjratu&i'
forces, headed by Chairman R. Gregg*
Cherry, of the Finance Committee, j
who gained full control. Majorities'
that increase from six to eight per
cent the tax on gross revenues of
power and utilities companies, telephone
companies, and increased inI
suranee, and chain filling station and
chain store taxes had to lot the increases
be removed Thursday and
Friday. j
The first object was to remove the
sales tax. and failing- that, to reduce
it to two per cent, and failing that,
to put bark the exemptions on basic
food items. The first test Friday was
the Douglas of Wake amendment to
take out the sales tax and substitute
a tax on tobacco and tobacco prodjucts.
It was voted down. to 33. The
Carr of Duplin amendment to reduce
the sales tax to two per cent was lost
51 to 43. The Williams of Hyde
amendment to exempt about the same
rood items as are now exempted lost
by a 56 to 41 vote. Then the sales tax
article of the bill was adopted 55 to
38.
This was all done in the House opjerating
as a committee of the whole.
Al the end of the voting the committee
dissolved and the Revenue Bill
was adopted by the House in regular
session, the second and third readings,
one at the midnight session, sol
as to pass it on another day, the miruj
? Monday, were perfunctory. The fight I
had ended in the House and the scene
shifted to the Senate, while the House
takes up this week the Appropriations
bill.
Adjournment in Three Weeks
Action last week indicates that adjournment
may be reached in three
weeks, although it will probably take
four weeks. Several important matters
are yet to be attended to, in addition
to the Appropriations bill. The
Hill liquor bill, in the Senate Finance
Committee for several days, is one of
them.
The Senate, while the House was on
the Revenue Bill, cleared its calendar
in readiness for the Revenue measure.
! It disposed of several measures last
week. It limited hours of work in
State institutions to 12. passed the
photographers bill, the bill to allow
organization of district health departi
ments, and others. The Senate Judi(j
ciary 2 committee reported "without
I j prejudice" the five per cent beer bill,
: j after a lengthy hearing Friday. Bills
I to increase salaries of State Treas
'lurer and Commissioners of Insurance,
Labor, Agriculture and Utilities were
sent back to committee.
Bilis to abolis.i and transfer the
Commissioner of Banks to the Utili
ties Commissioner and limit to two
the State bank examiners were unfa
vorablv reported. The automobile 11:
cense plate cost bill was set for this
t week in the Senate. The bill to inoci
culate ajl dogs against rabies was
> passed after amendments.
Bills introduced during this session
- reached 1200, of which 466 had been
- either ratified or ordered enrolled for
- ratification Saturday. Last week 20
f public bills and resolutions were ratil
fled, and 90 local bills. Public bills
