Lllllngton, Dec. 21 Legislation de signed to create the office at state highway traffic commissioner to con trol freight and bus llnesj to relieve congestion of Superior court calen dars, and to. equalise school taxes throughout North Carolina will be sponsored by 8enator J. R. Baggett, or ih. twelfth district. In addition to his antl-Ktr Klux klan measure, he announced tonight. t ( VI am studying and making plans.' said the senator, "to Introduce a bill to create a highway traffic commis sioners, or a commissioner of motor vehioles. This measure would pro vide for. the control of freight and bus" lines established on the state hlerhwavs and regulate the speed and equipment of motor vehlclea eised for hire. It also would regulate schedules and provide for a reasonabla compen eatlon to the state for the use of the highways by those who undertake to establish commercial lines. "It is my opinion that with prac tlcally six thousand miles of stats hlshways constructed nd under con struction and maintenance, that these roads can be made to be of great service to the state and people llv ing along the line of these, if we establish a commissioner of highway traffic to protect the man who goes Into public service as a common car rier on these highways, and at the same time protect the public by hav ing him pay so much per ton per mile and also requiring him to give bond for the maintenance of his schedule and equipment and for damages that may 'cause to other people or prop erty through negligence. "This will bring Into the operation of these roads a number of reliable, well-equipped bus lines and freight carriers that will be as serviceable to the people living along the highways as the railroads are to people resid ing along their routes. "There is no reason why these highways should not furnish to the farmers a means of transporting vegetablea, poultry, eggs and dairy products to markets as efficiently as the railroads now carry them. Bat In order to make this dependable, the rate for handling these products, the schedules and . equipment and oper ators must be under public control in practically the same manner as the railroads are at this time.

Under this plan, the state would provide an In dustrial school connected with a farm where the beye and girls of sach cir cuit anuld be aent and ' oared' for under the management of a good Vian. who would be under the dlreotl jn of the Judge of the circuit. "This would make our Juvenile criminals responsible tu the Judgs and at the sama time plased under his oare In an Institution under Ms direction until such time as he could have an opportunity to stud through the welfare officers and superintend ent of the school and farm und deter mine the bsst counts to follow In eaoh case. It an Inmate 'could bi Im proved, proper steps In that direction would be taken. If the Judge should And that an Inmate could net be Im proved, then he would have the right, to pass such sentence as In his Juds ment would be fit keeping with tbe Crime. "I shall support any legislation looking to tbe equalisation of our school tax throughout the state for state schools," he continued. "It oc curs to me that we must urrlve at soms point as near as posstbls where tbe taxes for school purposes will fall on all property of tbe state equally, and the burdens upon the people, re gardless of what county they live In. will be as near the same as possible. "I am in favor of going forward with our state highway building pro gram and providing the necussary funds for the work to be carried out In accordance with the conservative estimates of the highway commission. We cannot stop this work in the mid dle of the stream; we must so for ward and complete it," he said.

' High Point, Dec. II. A bill to es tablish workmen's compensation in North Carolina, a msaaure to Incor porate a state chamber of commerce for the purpose of advertising the old North State's advantagss, and amendments to the road law so as to license motor vehicles In accord ance with their weight Instead of horsepower will be favored by 8en itor O. E. Mendenhall, of the 17th district, he announced today. "t propose te Introduce a bill," he said, "incorporating a state chamber of commerce for the purpoae of ad vertising North Carolina and Induc ing the right kind of people to come here to realde. We' have a sparse populetlen as It now la, there being only sbout fifty people for each square mile of the state vast area. The bill will provide for an appro priation by the state to carry on thle work. "I shall seek to amend our road law, licensing motor vshlclee In ac cordance with their weight Instead of horsepower, ss Is done under the preeent law. The reason for this change le obvloue; Ths hsfvy vs hlclee wear the rpads more rapidly than the lighter ears and should pay proportionately for the upkeep, "I have other matters under con sideration, especially the right kind of workmen's compensation maasure which I shall discuss later." he said. Atk your grocer for Dairy hum's League Evaporated or Con densed Milk. He carriet it year ill and year out because he knows the quality. New York territory couldn't help being "milk land" It had to be the "milk land" of the Union. Iowa could raise corn. Maine had her potatoes. Georgia says "cotton, "and Texas spells "cattle." But New York's soil, rainfall, seasons, and climate generally made it the "Dairy State." There are approximately 70,000 picked farmers in the New York State territory who belong to the Dairymen's League Cooperative Association, Inc., farmers who have clean, regularly inspected barns and clean, healthy cows. They art the Dairymen's League. Instead of 70,000 ideas re garding the production and distribution of milk and dairy products, they decided to have a single standard of purity and quality the highest that human endeavor could make. When they put their collective name on anything, it is good. So you can buy Dairymen's League Evapor. ated or Condensed Milk knowing that it is rich, "creamy milk," that it is p-rre and good and comes from the "dairy territory." It is good today. It will be good tomorrow and next year, for the life-work of these 70,000 farmers is to see that the dairy products of the Dairymen's League are kept up to the standard that has been set.
