Ia his cull summoning the extraordin ary session of Congress, the president did not specify the purpose for which it was to be convened. Members of Congress who had talked with the (.executive expected that the message, prepared to greet the new Congress would urge action upon the tariff as the first duty , of the Democratic majorities' in I the two houses; . ' but would leave the way open for" action on tha corrency and othe pressing matters, if it is decided later to take them up. 1 f ;.. V , Democratic , Majorities, , Democratic majorities .' in both House and Senate are considered strong "enough, to carry through . the program of tariff revision determined upon, by recent conferences, in which the; President has consulted - with Representative Underwood and Sena tor Simmons, the tariff leaders of the two bodies.' The Democrats have a majority f. over 140 in the House, their membership of 288 being dou ble the combined strength of the Re publicans and Progressives. '; ; In the Senate the Democratic strength is 51, and the combined Re publican and Progressive strength 45. This margin is counted on to secure favorable action on the tariff unless sectional ".interests- of Democratic senators should bring about a com bination against certain features of the bill.

Separate Party. - The Progressive members appear for the first time In the new Congress as a separate party in the conduct of House affairs. Many progressive members, elected in November, have Joined the party organization and will act in concert throughout the ses sion, at least upon measures that may be advanced as part of the Progres sive party's legislative program. President Wilson's Influence. President Wilson's Influence is ex pected, by Democratic - leaders of both houses, to be a potent factor in the shaping of legislation throughout the extra session. The president has taken an active part in the prepara tory work on the tariff bill and will keep in close touch with the Senate and House through the consideration of the tariff, currency, or other sub jects that may be taken up during the session. He, has made It known that he may frequently upset precendent by visiting the capitol, and seeking per sonal conferences with those "active In the conduct of legislative affairs.

' ' Thn flrut matter nf tmrtnftnnnA tA come up for consfderation was the question of an additional appropria tion of $1,000 to the county school fund. An appropriation of ;' 120,000 was made by the board at a meeting held last January, but ' a thorough study of the needs of the schools of the county revealed, the 'fact that this sum was Inadequate, .and that at least l,0n0 more should be appro priated. The desired amount ' . was voted, thereby swelling . the county school fund to $21,000. ; ' , f Salem 8chool Property i AS a result of the election held March 18, at which tbe citizens of the two towns voted for the consoli dation of Winston and Salem into one municipality, the school property In Salem, which at present is the property of the county, . will become he property of the greater Winstoa Salem city Bthool board. -New School Ordered Built The board decided on a new school building at Guthrie, the flag station on the Southern Railway.

' VARIOUS MATTERS OONSIDEREO BY COUNTY BOARD Home on Visit Mr. Henry Weisner, who has been In the soldiers' home at RaleUh for some time, arrived in the city Friday morning. He will spend somn time wjth relatives here and ia Wilkes counjy. ' , Tha county commissioners met In regular monthly session Monday and most of the morning session was tak en up In consideration of requests for release "from taxes. 8om of the parties had dogs listed, and thy de clared they did not bmita'-tfaog ktt tax listing time. Others had doubt taxes against them and wanted one- half returned, and finally one negro came forward with complaint that the lister had put Him down i t white nan and also as k colored man. and he did not want to pay both tax es, whe property !, listed being the same in both lists. , All 'the claims with merit were . allowed, knd f course this Included the. last named cumptaint. . ..-;. - jr;.. -t Auditor Cash Pret et. r Auditor Cash was present with the board and there was some dlscusslou as to Section 4 of the; act creating tha office of auditor. fThis eeotlon says: 'that all persoju or parties holding omims against the county, the highway commission, board of educa tion, or any other Institution In the county 4o which the rag money-ofthe citlssns (s appropriated, or paid, shall me their claims with the auditor at icbbi ibu ooys oeiore ins payuenc is made, and the payment shall not be ordered until said claims is marked allowed by the auditor" and' said auditor Is hereby authorised to ad minister oaths on the verification of ail claims If he shall deem it neces sary." . V.. v '.-.: If this provision Is strictly adher- red to persons holding claims against the county will have to present them to Auditor Cash tn days prior to the meetings of the county commis sioners, highway commissioners, school board, or any other com mis- Ion handling funds of the county. This will mean quite an inconvenience to persons having claims as it will necessarily mean that they will have to present the claims between the 20th and 25th of each month, and in case of failure to do this the claims will have to lay over several weeks. For instance, ' a bill made In March and not presented to the auditor ten duys prior to the April meeting could not be paid until the 'May meeting of the board. . v : , ' v , .Another. Feature. Another feature of the bill was al so brought out, this being the power of the auditor. From the act as drawn and passed a county auditor can hold up any bill that may be made by any of the commissioners, county, high way or education, if be sees fit to do so, regardless of what the boards In question might think about the mat ter. For Instance,' the county com missioners might make an appropria tion for' some one thing and If coun ty auditor did not think the action wise he could fall to O, K. the ac count and there w uld be no money coming. , -,' s- It Is known that some of the com missioners do not like the bill as It passed and it would not be surprising if an attempt is not made to change it, in some respects, at the special session of the legislature next fall.
