THIRD TER1 BILL DEAD
Road Band Bill Gm to its Third Reading
vi b Lares Following
Raleigh, ,Peb. 1'. Oovernor
Bickett's measure ioraiaendins;
the state c-nstituuou to prohibit
more than l vyo successive terms
for state ainl three for- country
officers, barring 3uc(jc;a), educa
tional and liealih branches, was
tabled in the senate today. Thus
passed into nothingness a recom
mendation that brought perhaps
the biggest applause gained in
the inaugural address. . Not only
was the bill tabled but it was
killed so dead that it cannot be
revived durning the remaining
days. . The state officers who
have held steadily throughout
the century and received last
year renewed commissions iu
statewide primiries were happy
today.
The house bill by Senator
Clark providing for semi-aunual
bond issues of $4 0,000 at 4 per
cent, to take care of county bonds
at 5 per cent, in roadbuilding
under the system of liquidation
of principal and interest in 41
years, was laia oeiore tne senate
and discussed at leugth before
opposition ny Senator Little oi
Anson, and others was overcome
and the bill put through second
reading without opposition. It
is a roil can Din ana naa to go
over for final reading. Senator
Little feared that there would be
a crippling of the state's credit
by this automatic semi-annual
system of bond issues, but the
b:g following the bill had ou talk
ed the senator.
The bill to limit the terms of
state officers to two terms and
c iuntry officers to three terms,
11 line with the rec )ninaendttion
of Governor Bickett. came up ii
the senate and was disposed oi
in short order, a motion by Long
of Halifax to table beinsr carri
without discussion ar.d thei
mot'on to reconsider atul tSen to
table ihit motion being put
thro igh to apply "the ''clincher '
so that it cannot be resurrected

War prosperity has doubled the
muinber of our citizens having an
nual incomes of $20,000 to $500,000
in the last year as compared with the
year previous, Thomas F. Logan
writes in Leslie's. The receipts from
the individual income tax show an
increase of $27,000,000, the total for
the year ended June 30 last being
$67,943,294. According to the esti
mates of the commissioner of inter
nal revenue this will be raised during
the current year to $111,750,000.
New York paid one-fourth of all the
corporation income taxes and nearly
one-half of all the direct income
taxes collected last year. In the lat
ter respect it yielded nearly five times
as much as Pennsylvania, nearly six
times as much as Illinois, more than
even times as much as Ohio. The
five states named paid four-fifths, of
the income tax collected m the Unit
ed States. One hundred and twen
ty Americans have incomes of a mil
lion or more a year, not counting in
come from capital stock. New York
supplied seventy-four and Pennsyl
yaniaten. New Jersey and Ohio fol
low, with seven and aix, respectively,
while Connecticut, Delaware and Il
linois have four each. Of the south
ern states having residents with in
comes of $1,000,000 per annum, or

Georgia, Missouri and Oklahoma.

Washington, Feb. 19. "Who

or territory the law of which

The above little "joker" which
Senator Reed placed in the post-
office appropriation bill is giving
members of Congress and sen
ators from dry states no end of
trouble. It is also worrying the
prohibition leaders. It has wor
ried the latter so much that not
withstanding the fact that inso
far as dry territory is concerned
the passage of-thia amendment
means "bone dry" states wher
ever the states desire such a
conditon. E, C. Dinwiddie, head
of the national temperance bur
eau and president of the Nation
al Anti Saloon league would not
give a direct answer tonight
when asked if the league favored
the bill.
"We are not opposing the
measure," was the way Dr. Din
widdie evaded the question.
"Does not this bill go as far
is the prohibitionists may even
expect to go?" was the question
put to the head of the Anti-Rum
league. -
"We are not opposing this
bill," was the answer to this
question. Dr. Dinwiddie, along
with a number nf other people
svho have been agitating the nt
saloon movement feel certain
however that this bill is going t
pass. They know it can be pass
