Bales of minor local,, legislation that clutter the calendar in both HouaaUnd fcer.ate- will be disposed of with but iceant ceremony, much of it at the ses sions tli if afternaon. There baa been a material falling off in the introduction cf new bills during the past three days of the session, and but few mora are xpeeted to eonio up for attention. The tuly snag in sight updo which the Legislative craft might founder U the railroad bill. The House lias completed its calendar cf public bills with the final reading of the Education bill, and the interreuing days will he pasted in clearing the " calendar of the minor tillrrand finding tome way out of the tangle precipi tated by Representative Shepherd's two measures dealing with the petition of the railrrads to increase rates. The Senate will require three days for the Educational bill, two for the Revenue tct end one for the Constitutional amendment. Amend Revenue Bill. When the Revenue Bill cornea up in the Senate tonight, an amendment to the Sanndera amendment will be wait ing for it, providing that the com missioners of the several counties as ume the burden of advertising the fact that tax payers have asked for ad justment of values or of their findings t nfter they have beard the complaints The Saunders .amendment, adopted in the House after debate, requires that when a tat payer complaint of his valuation, be shall publish notice of ruck complaint. The Senate ia expeeted ta adopt the amendment. Other than this, the bill wi" likely past the upper house without change. , Some diversion - it expected in the Senate tomorrow when the Revenue HI! comes up for its final reading. President Stone, filled with gratification at. what he terms "saving the farmer a million and a half in taxes," haa sum moned the Farmers' Union to Raleigh en masse tomorrow to lay before the General Assembly further views of his crganixation, which he claims will "save the farmers three million.' Farmers' Union Camlag The Union takes the . revenue bill, as it ia written, as a great victory for the organization, and President Stone believes in following It np with more demands. What nature the demands ' will assume has not been diaelosed, or the manner of their presentation to the Senate. The first visit was made be fore the Finance Committee. There are no further conferences scheduled for the measure, aad it ia unlikejy that the President of the Union will be given the privileges of the floor to continue hit program. Tonight the House will bear the report ef the Railroad committee on the two tills introduced by Mr. Shepherd aad will likely taka some definite action. The general assumption is that the House committee will report favorably on the first bill, which eonfers on the Corporation Commission the authority and power to fix freight and passenger rates. Such a measure would hvss the majority of votes in the Senate. Members of the Senate who were in the General-Assembly in 1908 and in 1913 remember the bitterness of the fight that developed when the Legislature undertook to fix railroad rates by statute, and are unwilling to repeat the racord of those years. For the present at least, the majority of the Senate is apparently willing to delegate rata making authority to the Corpo ration Commission, and repeal the atatuta next January, if that course - elieuld aeem desirable. " Railroad Rate Bill. Senator Thompson, who was a mem ber of the 1913 Legislature, recalling tht fight yesterday, declared that the matter of fixing freight and passenger rates wat not a legislative matter, bnt tnt requiring tht expert knowledge of tht Corporation Commission. He pointed rat the fact that although the 1913 ressioa fixed the rate, they were never operative until aftr a specially named commission had reviewed the statute ' and arranged' -Ompronirie that gave- the railroads a higher rate. Primary Bills Dying. Sundry steps to do away with the primary-appear-to be dying in commit tee, and will likely remain there until the Legislators' art safely at home. Nobody aeemt to want to taka the re sponsibility of changing the existing order at present, sines there it no pri- mary doe for two yeare and another General Assembly thai can take care of whatever emergency may arise next January. . The Burns bill to exempt judges of the superior court and the supreme , court, came oat of a eommittee for a '.", ljjtle while in the Sena te Saturday and I passed ita second reading safely.

P. Publisher to Obtain Funds; Will Hays Ad inits Needing Three Millions to Pnt Campaign Across in November The News and Observer Bureau, 603 District National Bank Bldg. (By Special Leased Wire) Washington, Aug. 22. Governor Col makes the direct charge that the Re publicans are raising a campaign fund of $15,000,000 to corrupt the electorate i-nd bay the election. Be offers to prove his charge by giviag names, the amount of contributions the gross sums that are pouring into the treasury if the Bepubliean campaign committee and the purpoao for which the vast sum of money is to be expended. Governor Cos made that eharge several days ago. He repeated it ea Saturday. Chairman Will Hays ia a opoech ia Maine on Saturday said ithe Republican:: needed $3,000,000 te de fray expejset of this campaign; bat the aid not tell what tbey would do with more if they got it They have collect ed a great deal more than that amount according to reports in Washington. The money is pouring in like water over Niagara. tr . Per Political Consumption. Chairman Hays stated that his com mittee had placed the maximum amount from any one subscriber at $1,000, but wealthy men in the Republican party knew this waa meant for political con sumption only They knew that . they would be expected to giro and they are living H. They know better than to ruffer the Republican campaign commit tee to raise $15,000,000 by subscriptions from $1, to $1,000. These men like the big packers, the Standard Oil crowd and Wood of the American Wool en mllle company have too much at rtake to take a risk on $1,000 shares. Governor Cos warne the Amerieaa people that if they allow these men te purchase the government at tnia erni- far etagt'ef progress that unrest Willi inereeae and the Rede will sueeeed. the Harding's, Fenreeee ana tsmoota at Washinrtoa and1 everywhere else. The Republican party daree not eome back to Washington now with tariff lobbies end with the old gang of robbers. Noth ing wonld do more to light the flame of Bolshevism in the land. Reaction is the one food on which anarchy grows. One million dollars ia legitimately i-nough for any party to conduct its campaign for Preaident and Congress. The Demoerata will need only $NO0)00 tnd with that turn they will do the work that it it lawful to do in winning n election aad that too ,1a the face of the high cost of paper, printing, travel for speakers aad other expenses. But since the daye of Mark Haana the Re publicans have never epent lets thaa twice to three times that amount. They ran never spend the half of $15,000,000 honeetly and efficiently. Barnes Selling Book. One of the indirect methods the Re publicans have adopted to raise money wat given in a story by the New York World on Saturday morning. William Barnet the Republican boat of Albany county, N. Y, has writtan a book en title "Republicanism in 1920." The book is benig eold at $1,000 per copy to wealthy Republicans on the understand ing that the subscript ion money ia to go into the Republican campaign fund. Roma subscribers have paid double and ietf!e that amount for the book. Sena tor Harding and other prominent Re publicans hare endorsed the book. The Republican committee, of course, promptly denied the World's etpry. That was to be expected. The commit tee could not safely do otherwise but men like John D. Rockefeller and Clarence H. MaeKay are not buying a $1,000 book to fill the coffers of William Barnes. The book hat had a tremen dous eale for it has been oa the market for months but its main object ia to raise money for the campaign in nn in direct way and without attracting the attention of the public. The story is out but the money is in.' Watching Maine Election. The Senate committee Investigating rampaign funds may twetr somebody and aak some questions but a party that will raise $15,000,000 to buy the election at Governor Cox chargee can easily rave ita faee before an investigating committee.

P. Having; Difficulty in Getting . Necessary Money for Legiti mate Needs Instead Marion, 0., Aug. 22. Governor Cox's charge of a Republican campaign fund of $15,000,000 was characterised by Sen ator Harding today as "absolutely un true and ""perfectly ridiculous." Declaring he seconded cordially the challenge of Republican National Chair man Hays to the Democratic nominee to produce evidence of excessive Bepubli ean contributions, Mr. Harding said he wat not fearful of tba results of any investigation of the party treasury- 'Ws court the fullest understanding of our funds in every respect," said the Republican nominee, in commenting oa Mr. Hay's speech of yesterday. "Not only are statements of exeessive fi- peaaituret absolutely untrue, but as a matter of fact we are having difficulty ia producing the funds wt legitimately need to conduct the campaign as it should be conducted. Stories of a $15, 000,000 fund are perfectly ridiculous." Financial Needa Grow. Benntor Harding added that the wave ot advancing costs and the enfranchise ment of women had raised the legiti mate financial requirements of a na tional campaign, but declared hit party's money chest contained -nothing - like the total named by hia Democratic op ponent. Asked whether any of the money raised by the National commit tee before the Chicago convention would be used in the campaign, he said it all had been expended by eonventioa time, and that in making ita arrangements at t'hieago the party treasury had been compelled to borrow ''something like a quarter of a million dollars. ' DeaJta "Daasay" Contributions. l "V u.twi sfr-uiw IV WM ynm Benalors attention also was called to Governor Cox's charges that I the 1.000 limit fixed by Republican managers had beea evaded by "dummy contributions. The Bepubliean noml bee again declared he would welcome any proof ef the ataertioa and when he waa asked whether the party would leturn money found to have been given through "dummy contributors, he re plied: "I think that ia rather a far fetched hypothesis." Not te Appeal to Women. In discussing the added expense of carrying the campaign to the newly enfranchised women, the candidate eaid hia party would not change ite cam pa Urn machinery materially on that account. Personally, he said, be ex pected to make "no particular appeal for the votea of the women. .,. "I do not believe," eaid Senator Hard ing, "in making a distinction of ap pealing to either tea or to any class aa sach. My campaign will be directed to the citizenry of the United Stater and I take the view that women come into that citizenry on the same . basil as men.' The nominee declared he did not ex pect enfranchisement of women to "change the political complexion of any ttate," adding that experience in the suffrage states had shown the wisdom of his opinion. Expects Cos to Reply. Senator Harding did not say whether in any of his four speeches during the eoming week he -would make a more formal reply to the charges of the Democratic nominee. He suggest ed, however, that he eonaidered the next move should coma from Governor Cox in reply to the challenge for proof of hia assertions. The first of the Senator's speeches tins week will be delivered here Tues dsy to a group of prominent theatrical folk, representing the Harding and Coolidge Theatrical League. Elaborate plane have been made to fete the visitor, who will apend ell day in Marion and will give a special enter tainment for the nominee on hit front porch. 1 ARMED MEN ASSASSINATE IRISH POLICE INSPECTOR Daring Killing Occnrs in Midst of Crowds Setnrning from , .Services Belfast, Ireland.
