At the stroke of midnight Sunday night the ntw work men'scompensation act, the new mar riage banns law and the act making effective the highway patrol were operative for the first time. Under the new acts the minor who gets a marriage license without pre vious notice, the workmen employed by an employer of employing firm using more than five persons who is injured, and the motorists who runs afoul of the law will be directly af fected by the legislation. Compensation Act Perhaps the most far-reaching laws of the three is the compensation act. This law in North Carolina is appli cable to employees and employers of firms or Individuals that work as few as five people. The State itself, counties, cities, towns, factories, con tractors, offices, stores and even the churches that employ as many people as flve including choir singers are effected by the new act and their em ployers protected and limited by it. The industrial commission, charged with the administration of the com pensation act, Has estimated that there are 16,000 employers and em ploying firms in the State which 'will be affected by the bill with persons affected running into the hundreds of thousands.

MITCHELL ENFORCEMENT 01 LAWS MIGHT CUT DOWN THE TAXES Crime One Of Chief Causes Of High Taxes, People Of N. C. Are Warned. ' Waynesville, July 1. Report sent out yesterday by the crew of the U nited States Geological Survey work ing in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park area that Mount Guy ot, in this county, is 297 feet higher than Mount Mitchell has sent a thrill North Carolina, for it seems to fore-' cast the settlement of the contro versy that has existed for a long time less he communicates otnerwise wiin that there are twQ kg Jn Great the industrial commission and the Smok ran th t hi h th isotice oi Mf M;fv,ii w i, i i,u i, is true of employes. acceptance has been received from more than 12,000 employing firms and notice of non-acceptance has come in from 200 employes of two saw mills.

It al so seems to forecast a change of tourist tide from the hitherto much traveled route from Black Mountain to Mount Mitchell in the direction of Mount Guyot, in this county. The RALEIGH, June 29. If the people or Worth Carolina want tax relief i and the majority of them do the way to get it is to enforce all the laws more strictly, especially the pro hibition laws and reduce crime, since crime is one of the chief causes of high taxes. This is the essence of a statement issued here Saturday by James A. Hartness, secretary of state, in which he points out that the way to lower taxes is not through repeal of the' prohibition laws as some advocate but-' rather the strfct enforcement of them "While people are crying out for relief from the great burden of taxes we should be reminded that crime is the cause of the greater portion of this tax burden, and that while we are enjoying the reputation of beimr I the most lawless nation in the world, we are paying a handsome tribute for the notoriety," Mr. Hartness de clared. In Line With Constitution "For law observance, tax relief, and high moral standards for the community go together. And lest we forget, our civilization depends upon deep religious faith and that government, if it would live." In the beginning of his statement Secretary Hartness called attention to the fact that the American govern ment was conceived and constructed upon deep religious faih, and that the eighteenth amendment was adopt ed because it is in line both with the intent of the Constitution and the spirit of its framers and signifies the moral progress of the nation. "No people are stronger for thla amendment than the people of North. Carolina or we believe more in its righteousness, and they will notvoun- fenaace opposition to ft," Mr, , Hart ness declared.,' "Prohibition la not a partisan question and not a politi cal question. It is a moral question, and should not be made a political issue. The question is one of en forcement rather than of repeal. Applicable To Any Law "The argument of non-enforce ment can be made against anv law. i The violations of the laws for the u tt-v III NIC u I IU UIC I IgULS Ul 1 CHE HANCOCK BILL FOR EDUCATION By President H. T. Hunter Cullowhee, N. C. President Hun ter has given three mornings in chapel of Western Carolina Teachers College to explain the recent Han- qOck Education Bill to the summer Shool students. He first discussed e unique situation in the recent legislature, in which there was on $)be one hand a strong sentiment for eight-months school term togeth with a larger state equalizing fund apd on the other a fixed and almost unanimous determination to lower 'lxes in the state. Some of the bills pyhicli were introduced looking to this iend were briefly discussed1.' Then he TOok up the Hancock Bill itself, dis- etissiriK 'What the school men con ilj'dcr its objectionable features first. Among the features of the lill which hbve been widely criticized by edu cators are included: (1) The almost unlimited power given to the State Board of Equalization; (2) The fact that the bill claims to provide for the 'ejght months school term when in fact it almost prohibits the same; (.'!) ,The increasing of the teaching load of elementary teachers, resulting in the elimination of about 1500 teach ers in the state; (4) The elimination of the professional requirements of county superintendents. North Caro lina, as the result of years jf ' ffort on the part of its school teachers and officers", said President Hunter, "had a group of county superintendents who stand among the best in America. Under the present law school super intendents were supposed to know the school business. The new law opens the way for any so-tailed business man or politician to slide into the place of the professionally4ralined superintendent." f Finally, he took up the good feat ures of the Hancock Bill. Among them were given the following: (1) An increase of the state equalization fund from $3,250,000. to $5,250,000, an increase of $2,000,000: (2) The placingof the-State Superintendent A German Addressing His Dog A German addressing his dog said: "You vos a dog, but I vish I vas you.

MANY SHOULD QUIT FARMING GREAT NUMBERS NOT DOING IT FOR LOVE OF IT, DECLARES BROWNE of Public Instruction and-the Gover nor upon he Wats Boardpf jBqtfaMg modern industry. Any ' st mmea Schedule for teachers a matter of law- rather than a mere requirement of the State Department of Education; (4) Setting aside $300,000 of he equalization fund to encourage coun ties with low-grade teachers to raise the level of the teaching personnel. Mr. Hunter declared that this was the bright spot in the whole bill. With this special encouragement , One of the greatest needs in agri culture today is that a large per cent of those trying to farm quit and go into industry, T. E. Browne, head of the school of education of Nolrth Carolina State College at Raleigh, de clared Monday in addressing the vo cational section of the National Edu cation Association. With modern methods, one man can produce as much on the farm as three or four could 25 years ago, he added. A large per cent of those farming are not doing it for love of the vocation Mr .Browne said, and they are making little effort to im prove their methods. "Bringing large industries into the South to absorb this surplus farm labor can be made a great benefac tion." he said, "provided we train these people through vocational class es in trades and industries to man these positions. Modern industry, requires skilled labor.

Among the large firms so electing is the Cannon Mills which (employs thousands of persons in the state. The state provide for a payment of 60 per cent of wages up to $19 per week to workmen disabled in line of duty, regardless of whose negligence is responsible. Total payment for permanent disability or for death is $5,500. Highway Patrol The highway patrol of 37 men, created by the General Assembly after various efforts for a patrol of from 125 to 250 men had failed of passage, were sworn in at Raleigh on Mon'by. Then a lieutenant in a Ford coupe and three patrolmen on motorcycles will go to each of the nine hiehwav districts of the State. The duties of the patrol are limited to the enforcement of the State's mad and automobile laws, Included under this category of laws are speeding, careless, reckless and incompetent driving; automobile not displaying the legaj requirements in headlights and tail lights; automo biles with inadequate brakes; drivers without proper licenses, and various other rules and regulations. An im portant duty of the patrol will be to check against overloading of trucks operated on the State's roadways. To enforce this law each lieutenant will carry in his car s set of scales for weighing the trucks and any found overloaded will be unloaded to the legal limit and the freight left by roadside until it can be legally re moved.' ' ' Check Eloper The marriage banns law, while not as strict as the original bill introduced inthe legislature is aimed at curtail ing the number of runaway, "wild- party"! and ill advised marriages a records that they made last week on the top of the fast becoming famous mountain peak that will displace Mt. Mitchell in the future geographies as the highest peak. It recalls the death of Dr. Mitchell about 70 years ago when he was ex ploring Mount Mitchell in order to settle the question then up as to which peak Mitchell or Clingman's Dome was the highest. His meas urements ascertained after his death appeared to settle the question as between Mitchell and Clingman's Dome, but since then Mount Guyot has come into the limelight as a pos sible rival of Mitchell. If the rec ords as taken by the survey party, which have been sent on to Wash ington, bear the test and are found correct, Guyot will become the top of eastern America. Another effect that the discovery will have, it is thought, if it proves to be correct, will be to hasten the development of the park, for people will be eager to ascend the pinnacle of the Appalachian highland and a demand will at once be created for good roads.

A warrant was issued Monday by a Madison officer for Theodore Wor I ley, alleged owner of the taxi, who was in the machine when Ed Rice the driver, and Davis were arrested at a J filling station on Main Street Satur : day afternoon.
