t 2 House-N ig hi Session
I The House- voted t tTcfnlght. 50 to , 34
against "the establishment of a' State
tax commission separate from.the Cor
poration Commission but left open
until Tuesday the' question of whether
there shali simply remain the present
State tax commission composed of the
Corporation Commissioners or, as pro
posed by Representative Justice in an
amendment that he will offer,, the ap
pointment of a tax commissioner to
act in conjunction with the chairman
of the Corporation" Cominisfidni ''
JLreaving .this, .question ; open... the
House passed on many of the subse
quent sections of the machinery bill.
Before taking, up .the, machinery bill
many measures came .up. 1
The bill" from.' the -Senate ; to allow
women v hold positions on: school
committees and boards of trustees of
educational institutions came up. Mr.
Bowie moved its reference to the com
mittee on Federal relations. Speaker

gested immediate passage. In the end

Committee,, introduce! the machinery
bill and "its -consideration was taken

ture ibefng the proposed State tax commission-
to supercede" the , Corporation
Commission iri that "capacity. Chair
ing WlliaifiS "declared; that not less
thari; $200,000 was lost ".during the past
year to the! State through failure to
collect; Schedules B and G taxes, the
inheritance tax and - others.
The" separate commission and . cen
tering of-duties and responsibilities in
it. he believed -would be a good invest
ment. . ., . . .
Mr. Bowie estimated-that the sepa
rate commission would' cost $20,000. .
-He thought with the re-assessment
knocked put, there was no use for the
separate commission for ithe next two
yars. Mr. Page advocated the sepa
rate, commission. Mr.; Justice .gave
notice of his proposed amendment for
oiie fibmmissioner to be appointed to
act with the chairman of the Corpora?
tipn Commission. and the clerk . to. the
Corporation Commission . ...
This matter was1 left diteti a'fterf the

that Sections 1 to 13 of the 1911 ma
chinery act, including the Corporation
Commission as 'State, tax commission
and adopting for the remainder of the
machinery bil the sections of the old
190&; act, that - has the eff ect of abol
ishing the county tax assessor appointed-
by r the State tax commission
and;, leaving thV assessing in , the
hands of the assessors and lister "ap
pointed in the counties. In this" form
the machinery bill passed second read
ing near midnight"' "and took its' place
on. the calendar -for final passage in
both Houses tomorrow.
JJuring the ."work in committee of
the whole Mr, Justice charged that
reassessment .was- receded from .be
cause the members did jaot? have ; the"
courage to vote;, for4 it and face their
constituents back home, and that the
Finance Committee backed, down un
der, pressure from the -corporation .in
terests. Chairman .Williams denied
the charges and. poind out that what
ever ..concessions had been made to
corporations : hai: Tbeien . made on the
floors of. the two Houses ahd not in

sharp criticism tin -'members of. the

i Revenue Bill
5 The revenue bill as amended by the
Senate, was reported to tne House.
Representative Williams made the
point that the Senate had, raised the
tax rate on the people and cut con
siderably the franchise tax on corpo
rations. Representative Doughton
moved" that the House do not concur
in the Senate amendments to the bill.
This motion was carried and tne
Speaker was directed to s appoint a
conference committee.
' The solicitors' salary bill as passed
by the Senate, came up and Repre
sentative Doughton spoke against it,
making a motion that prevailed tnat
the bill foe referred to the committee
on propositions and grievances, the
understanding being that there will be
no report from the committee, the bill
being "put to sleep."
The House passed the bin to appro
priate $10,000 for the State school

enue bill. Representatives Williams,
of r Buncombe ; Doughton, Wallace,
Young, of Harnett, and Ross.
The vote by which the bill was de
feated some days ago. to restore to. the
Indians : of Robeson - county their an
cient name , fJ jf'Cherokees" ; was re

Amend - Buncombe road law. Senate
Barnes and Bryant were appointed on
the conference committee.
The substitute, bill allowing women
to serve on school committees and as
trustees of educational institutions,
but not State or county school boards,
precipitated some discussion. Senator
Mason thought it was not a matter, of
legislation - to declare what were pub-,
lie officers', and Senator Jones suggest
ed that the matter ought to be re
ferred td the constitutional amend
ments committee. ; Senator Bryant
did not consider it so much of a con
stitutional matter, arid favored women
serving in such positions. . - Senator
Hobgood agreed with Senator Bryant
and submitted" the observation that
women" did " Rave somewhat t6 com
plaint of at the hands of men. Sena
tor Nimocks also supported the billj.
saying the militantsuffragettes did not
want theser little places. ' .'
Senator Pharr was bitterly opposed
to anything that would t get .women
mixed up in politics. Moreover, the
House had already killed the bill. Sen
ator Daniel considered that this ques
tion were put up to the Supreme Court
now, that tribunal would put its ear to
the ground, as it often did. Practical
ly all of the primary education of the
State was entrusted, to the women:
Senator McLean did not believe the
'women of the State were demanding
this thing. If we passed this bill, in
two years the women would came ask
ing for the suffrage. .Senator Evans,
of Pitt, , likewise denied that women
were asking for it, and insisted, among
other objections, that to have women
on boards would cause friction. Sena
tor Davis feared some Senators were
seeing ghosts. - With two-thirds of
school teachers women, they ought, to
be represented on committees.
Senator Council did not think the
constitutional question eed bother
the Senate, . for the Supreme Court
would not declare, the act; uncpnstittf-4
J4onal, and be doubted the haxdihoqd
of anyone to rafse the question any
how. r, -.- .. ,
Senator Carson bore witness that in
the West, the women had proved their
ability to handle the school systems.
Senator Scott quoted a few lines from
the peroration of his graduating
speech on "Women's Rights", apotheo
sizing ner sway of home and affections
bill relative to the election of- United Senator Peterson said he loved women
too weji to vote for the bill. -
An amendment by .Senator Pharr.
that the bill do not apply to offices
voted for by the people was adopted,
and the bill was passed by 27 to 18 and
ordered sent to the House. '
