fflevvton Enterprise PubllshedjEvery Thursday By F M. WILLIAMS, feditOr &. Proprietor Filtered at the Postofflce at Newton, North Crollnaas Sond M TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: nna Vttr 1-00 Six Months 600 Three moDths 25 Thursday, Febru?ry 13th, 1913. A WISE PROGRAMME, There is o-eneral aDDroval of - - -w C3 - the solution the Legislature has made of the constitutional amend ment question. It is a compro mise between the two proposi tions; one to call a constitutiona convention and the other for the Legislature to prepare and submit amendments to the voters at the next general elec tion, The p'an is for the Speak er of the House to appoint seven, the President of the Senate five and the Governor five, men to constitute a committee to meet after the adjournment of the Legislature and prepare a draft of amendments to be submitted to an adjourned or called meet ing of the Legislature some time this summer, for ratification and submission to a vote of the peo- Dle. The intention now is to rush business, and adjourn the Legislature at the end of 50 daj s, leaving 10 days of the session for an adjourned meeting to consider the amendments and perhaps make levy of taxes This would obviate the expense of an extra session or a conven tion. There are a number of amend ments that are considered abso lutely necessary, the most im portant one is to prepare the way tor segregation of taxes. There is general agreement that this plan of dividing the subjects of taxation, leaving the property tax entirely for county, school and town purposes, is the most scientific and feasible waj of meeting all the problems about schools, road improvement, State institutions, etc. The revenue bill the finance commit tee is now writing is supposed to be planned as nearly.on this line as it is possible to go with the present constitutional restric tions, It cannot be made what the committee would like to have it until the constitution is amended. The revenue bill is expected to be laid before the House by chairman i Williams this week. It will contain new features, aiming especially to insure the enlistment of stocks, notes, money and other intangible property that has dodged enlist ment on account of the fact that they have to be listed at full value, while much other property is listed at a fourth or a third of the value. The idea of postpon ing the fixing of the rate until the meeting of an adjourned session, is to give the new reve nue bill a trial. If there is an honest enlistment of all property at about the real face value, of stocks, notes, etc, and of real estate and personal property at the prevailing selling prices, then the rate of the levies for State, county and school purposes could be materially reduced below the 66 2-3 limits. If this could be done, many millions of dollars worth of intangible prop erty would be listed that has been dodging. The owners of this kind of property are willing to list it, if all other property is listed, like it, at the full value. This would enable the Legisla ture to reduce the rate, so that lands listed at full value would pay no more tax than at the present rate, and the tax from the property that has been dodging would give a sufficient increase in revenue to meet the school problem and all other problems and prevent deficits in the State and county treasuries. The Legislature. The bill td increase the dum ber of Judges from 16 to 20 has passed both houses, also the bill to put solicitors on salaries of $2,000 each. Committees Lave been appointed to redistrict the State and prepare the schedule of the courts. The Justice primary election bill met such strong opposition in the House that a committee of five has been appointed to pre pare a less drastic but more elas tic bill. The divorce bill, granting divorce after five years deser tion, failed in the Senate: also the bill to punish tipping of hotel waiters and porters on trains. The bill to prevent the mar riage of first cousins will go before the Senate from the committee without any recom mendation. The calendar was cleared of local bills Saturday. This Leg islature is keeping right up to time and most of the important bills are about ready to be acted on, Tne House Committee has made a favorable report ou the oill to establish a new county to be named Aycock, from portions, of Guilford, Davidson and Ran dolph, with High Point as the county seat. It will meet with stubborn opposition, and is not expected to pass the Senate. The search and seizure bill nas gone to tne Mouse on a favorable report from the com mittee and 500 copies of the bill ordered to be printed. A resolution has passed the Senate calling on the heads of all State institutions to report in writing to the appropriation committee the least amounts they can get along Tvith during the next two years. A bill has passed both houses making it unlawful for parents or guardians to permit children under twelve years old to use any kind of firearms, Mr. Gaither has introduced a resolution memorializing Con gress to give independence to the Philippine Islands. Killian: To allow Lincoln county to vote a special tax; to allow Commissioners of Lincoln to sell certain lands; to permit the Commissioners of Lincoln to transfer certain funds; relative to good roads in Lincoln coud ty. Tne House adopted a resolu tion Monday to appoint a con -mittee of three to investigate the books of Clerks of the Court as to the collection of inheritance tax. The new revenue bill will have machinery to insure the strict collection of this tax. In the House Kellum of New Hanover county offered a bill allowing the people of Wilming ton to vote on granting licenses for the sale of beer, each license to be $2,000. This will bring up a phohibition fight. Senator Council of the joint committee recommended that $2,500 be appropriated for re pairs and refurnishing of the Governor's mansion. A bill was introduced to pro hibit profane and vulgar tain over the telephone. Claremont Items. Here we are again with a few of the many happenings of our town.

It is said that oratory is be coming a lost art. A chief part of the explanation is found in the disappearance of the "Fri day Evening Exercises'1 of the old academy and in the general neglect of declamation work. For stimulation and right ideals, our youth must go back to the works of tbe masters, know them and live them again, and thus rekindle the flame of eloquence that blazed so splen didly in the past. In order to encourage the practice of declamation in our High Schoots as an exercise of mgn cultural value and as necessaiy foundation for success in the study and practice of public speaking, ani in order to bring tbe schoolsinto closer touch with each other and thus aid in the cause of education in our section. Lenoir College has es tablished an Annual Declama tion Contest to be conducted in accordance with the following regulations: 1. State High Schools, City High Schools, or other schools of tbe same rank, in counties of North Carolina west of the Yad kin River, or in Davidson Coun ty, shall be entitled to one repre sentative in the contest, 2. The name of each contes tant, the subject of his declama tion, and a statement from the principal of his school that he is a bona fide student, shall be in the hands of the secretary of the faculty of Lenoir College not later than March 15th. 3. The places of declaimers on the program in the contests shall be determined by lot. 4. The first contest shall be held in the Lenoir College audi torium, Friday evening, April 4, 1913. 5. In case there are more than eight contestants, a preliminary contest shall be held at the College, Friday afternoon, April 4, 1913, 6. No declamation shall con tain more than 1000 words (GOO to 1000 words is a good range.) 7. A gold medal shall be awarded by a competent commit tee to that declaimer whom they shall judge to have won in the l contest. following the dates The Webb bill to prohibit the shipping of liquor into prohibi tion States for sale, passed the House last Saturday with a very large majority.
