NUMBER '3c- WORK OP THE LEGISLATURE1 Ti r n;ti tn Omvprt Central iiu unc a aasco w Prison at Raleigh Into Hospital for Insane Road Bill to be Before Sen ate Again This Week. The House Friday passed without a disssenting vote the McCoin bill to re move all State cdvicts from the cen tral Prison at Raleigh to the State farm and convert the million-and-a-half dollar central prison into a hos pital to quarter 1,000 insane patients for the central hospital at Raleigh. Argument on the Scales - Stevens highway bill occupied the Senate Fri day and was made a special order for Wpdnpsdav of this week. After Friday's consideration the bill, i with a flood of amendments, was re referred to the committee on roads with instructions to redraft.. An amendment offered jointly by Stacy, Brown, Connor, Horton, Mit chell, Cross and Gray,proposed the 're peal of the present State Highway Commission act and its re-inactments with specification that a new highway . . .. i k i commission oi only tnree memueia fonRt.it.nteH. one western, one central and one eastern man, the Governor to appoint and this Senate confirm, the commissioners to receive $10 per diem for time they serve, together with ex penses. . Big delegations from every section of the State wefe in Raleigh Friday In arguing for the bill, Stevens- of Buncombe estimated that the propos ed per horse power tax on automobiles of 75 cents would raise $46,725,000 in 10 years. The State would get $1, 200.000 the first vear with at least 20 per cent increase annually until the a 10th year, when over nine million dol lars probably would'' be collected.

Mr. Miller has plenty of good driving stock, but he had rather walk a short distance like that any day than to "hook up." As has been stated in The Robe sonian, Mr. Miller has been the first Robesonian to pay his State and coun ty taxes each year for a long, long time. Most Important Part of Prelimi nary Work Completed.

Militariasm is Dethroned in Germany, Declares Chancellor Ebert. A Weimar dispatch states that the opening of the national assembly there on the 6th was impressive for its sol emnity, earnestness and simplicity. In his opening speech Chancellor Ebert declared that "we have done forever with princes and nobles by the grace of God" and that "militarism has been dethroned" in Germany. He referred io tho armistice terms as unhaard-of and ruthless. Weimar, capital of the grand duchy poets' city" and "the German Athens," was chosen for the gathering of the first German national assembly, it is said,because it is a non-Prussian town,, It is situated in a fertile valley on the river Ilm, a small tributary of the Saale, and has a population of less than 50,000.
