It required all day to argue the constiutionality of the act in Wake Superior Court. Judge Oliver H. Allen heard the case and late in the afternoon signed an order directing the Tax Commission to promulgate rules and regulations for the collection of the tax. . The hearing before Judge Allen pre sented a unique situation by reason of the illness of Associate Justice George Brown, who will hardly sit on the case. Judge Allen having held the act to be constitutional, it will re quire three-fourths of the upper court to reverse him. If the supreme court divides evenly when the case goes up for a hearing the judgment in the low er court will stand. "If it isn't constitutional, it ought to be," Judge Allen said from the bench when the argument had been concluded. To Report on Prison Management. The state's prison authorities are rounding up the report on the inves tigation of the charges that were filed with the National Prison Relief Asso- ciation, of Washington recently by an ex-convict, who served a term in prison and then loaded up the asso ciation officers with "dope" on the way of charges against the manage ment of the prison quarters at the state farm that caused the associa tion to call on Governor Bickett to investigate. It will be remembered that the sec retary of the association intimated to the governor in writing of the charges, that if the state authorities did not act promptly in an investiga tion, call would be made upon the federal authorises for a look in as to the North Carolina prison conditions. While the reply of Governor Bickett to this communication was never giv en. to the press, it is safe to assume that in addition; to asuring the as sociation that Worth Carolina would look well into her prison affairs and correct any abuses, any talk of fed eral or any other outside intervention would be sharply resented and resisted.

The supreme economic council of four will consider proposals to grant a limited supply of raw materials, no tably cotton, to Germany to enable the factories there to start up and to re lieve the unemployment which is said to be at the bottom of the disorder in Germany. After April 25 goods and commodi ties may be shipped to the neutral countries adjoining Germany virtual ly without restriction, the neutrals themselves assuming responsibility against the re-export of prohibited wares to Germany. Washington Attorney General Palmer has de clined to give an opinion on the legal ity of the action of Southern cotton growers to limit their crop this year in an effort to maintain prices. No hint has been received in Wash tmrtnn that President Wilson will yield in the slightest concerning Fiume and in the opinion of the Americans at the conference an agree ment can only be reached by a rad ical change in the Italian attitude. Premier Orlando of Italy left Paris for Rome. He was accompanied by Salvatore Barzlai, General Diaz and two other members of the Italian mis sion. . An American officer arriving in Pari3 from Rome .says the feeling in Italy against Americans is very bitter. He says he was asked to leave cafes because the proprietors said Italian officers declined to eat in the same places with Americans. A clause has been drafted for in sertion in the peace treaty fixing the date for the transition to a state of peace sixty days after the signing of the treaty. If the treaty is signed about May 15 peace will thus become effective throughout the entire world on July 15. The purpose of this pro vision is to prevent confusion among t more than twenty belligerent na tions, which might fix different dates In their various ratifications. Accord ing to the present plan each nation will ratify the treaty according to Its own laws, but all will unite In a com njon date which will become a univer sal aw of peace. Federal supervision of child labor, abolishsd when the Supreme court last year declared unconstitutional the existing child labor law, was re-established under regulations issued by the internal revenue bureau, putting into effect the new revenue act's tax on child labor products.

Farmers of the Mount Vernon School District appeared before Gox ernor Bickett to protest against the location jof the state prison farm on the site of Camp Polk as proposed by certain landowners in that section to gether with the Raleigh Chamber o! Commerce and favorably viewed by the state prison board. The half doz en farmers who talked with the gov ernor and who were referred by him to the state prison board, pointed out that the establishment of the farm there would split up the country com munitv. destrov the school district and seriously disrupt community life.
