"I don't know ye' where we will start," said Mr. Boyd, who in the general assembly was one of; the sales tax law's most bitter, enemies. "It just depends upon which court we figure will give us earliest action, the state couit Or ?he federal court." Mr. Boyd declared that recent ly the Illinois state supreme j court, looked upon as one of the ablest state supreme courts in! the I nited Spates, had held the j Illinois sales tax law to be uncon- ! stitutional. The Illinois law and: the North Carolina law are very' much alike, said he. and the deci- • sion of the Illinois court seems! to indicate that the North Caro-' lina law may be found by this I state's chief tribunal to. be a vio-. lation of the national constitu-1 tion.

Harriman, president oil ihe U. S. Chamber of Commerce, an hour after the measure had' been sent to the White House. | "Passage of the act constitutes! a most important step in our j progress toward business rehabili tation," said Harriman. "It should begin immediately to bring about i a large measure of re-employment and an increase in buying power i throughout the country. "The act will permit legitimate j business to lift itself above the j destructive competition which has | prevented recovery and which has ; been threatening to bring about j complete economic demoraliza tion." As this vital measure left con- j gress and neared enactment, j ether business and industrial, leaders leaped into action. Rob ert I.. Lund, president of the Na tional Association of Manufactur ers, said: "Industry has a right to be en couraged bv this action. It will j now have an opportunity to po lice itself against ruthless compe- ' tition in the form of unregulated price cutting." He urged manufacturers give their whole-hearted co-operatior. to administrators of the measure and to the president. In the midst of the enthusiasm that greeted final congressional action on the bill, came a sober note from John 15. Elliott, presi dent of the National Independent | Petroleum Association opposed to monopoly. He wired President Roosevelt from Trinidad, Colo., suggesting care in administration of the bill to prevent a possible monopoly in the oil business. County Relief Work Results Are Gratifying, Check Up Indicates A check-up of the relief work being; done in Henderson county through the f-10 Year Kami or ganization shows most gratifying results, it was reported at a joint meeting of the farm commmittee i>ncl women's auxiliary committee on last Saturday. Supervisors of relief gardens, seeds and fertilized for many' of which have been furnished through the governor's office of relief, report that efficient results are being obtained in the majori ty of these plots. Unseasonable dry weather has made it difficult to keep things growing as had been expected, but with the rains of the past few days, the outlook is much better. The garden plots planted by the county to furnish produce for use -in relief work, are making splendid showing. Twelve acres of Irish potatoes, a large plot of sweet potatoes, corn and pump kins have been put in and are in flourishing condition. Facilities are on hand and are being used to spray for plant in sects, so no loss is being suffered from these pests. A survey of each family has been completed, showing the num ber to be provided for. the jars and cans already on hand, the number necessary to provide suf ficient canned foods for winter use, requsitions have been sent in for the cans required, so that when the produce is ready, can ning will be done in season to conserve every bit of the surplus.

HORNER United Press Staff Correspondent ATLANTA, June U.—(UP). "New deal" beer lost its first federal court test case in "bone dry" Georgia yesterday. A decision here by U. S. Dis trict Judge K. Marvin Under wood challenged the power of congress to define 3.2 beer as not intoxicating. Such a definition "is not bind ing; upon states nor upon federal courts in civil cases where viola tion of the 18th amendment is an issue, if such liquor is as a mat ter of fact intoxicating," Judge Underwood ruled. Persons transporting the 3.2 beverage through a "dry" state must prove that "it is non-intoxi cating in fact," he held. The decision denied a petition by R. P. Richmire, Jacksonville, Fla., truck operator, to enjoin Sheriff 10. M. i.egg of Cobb coun ty, Ga., from interfering with his trucks transporting beer from Tennessee to Florida. The case will be appealed, his attorneys said. liichmire also sought release of a truck and 220 cases of beer, consigned from Nashville, Tenn., to Jacksonville, confiscated by Sheriff Legg last month. The sheriff contended it was his duty to seize the shipment be cause a Georgia law forbids transportation of any beverage containing more than one-half of one per cent alcohol. Richmire's petition contended the federal act legalizing 3.2 beer made it a recognized article of interstate commerce, with which a state through which it was transported had no right to in terfere. Judge Underwood ruled that congress and the states have con current power to enforce the 18th amendment "as they see fit." Since the case at issue was a civil action, he held the burden was upon the plaintiff to prove the beverage "was not intoxicat ing in fact" under the Georgia laws. "Finding as I do," the judge continued, "that the beer art dees not authorize transportation of liquors, intoxicating in fact, in a state where the laws thereof make such transportation unlaw ful, and finding further that the laws of Georgia forbid the trans portation and possession of beer of the character of that involved in this suit, and the plaintiff who has conje into the court of equity asking for permanent relief has (Continued on page Ave) KIWANIS ML HEAR VERNER Will Outline Plan for U.

ALASKAN QUAKES SEWARD, Alaska, June 14.— (IT).—Earth tremors of increas ing intensity during the past 30 hours has caused fear among resi dents here and at Anchorage to day. Little damage was reported. Address Creates Good Impression; Ab sence of Delegation from Plenary Session Makes Conferees Uneasy LONDON, June 14.— (UP).—Cordell Hull, secretary of {state and head of the United States delegation to the World Economic Conference today solemnly warned the conference against selfish obstruction of the conference's | work. In his eagerly awaited keynote speech Secretary Hull said if any nation obstructs the conference with "a short sighted notion that some of its favored local interests may temporarily profit while thus indefinitely delaying aid for ; the distressed in every country, then that nation would merit the execration of mankind. "The cherished idea of the extreme type of isolationist that each nation singly can by bootstrap methods lift itsel»" : out of the trouble that surrounds it has proved fruitless," j he said.

Sir Walter Hotel liALEIGH, June 14.—Now that congress has finally passed the emergency public works bill, in ; which $4,000,000,000 is made available for highway construc tion in the various states, North Carolina's share of this money should he availably within a week or 10 clays, Chairman K. B. Jef ; fress of the state highway com mission believes. Indications are I that this state's allotment will be' ; approximately $10,000,000, if the] I money is allotted on the basis i that has been used in the past, j "If the powers that be in Wash ington move as quickly a<? we j think they will, we should know enough about what we are to get land what we will be able to do with this money to start letting i contracts by July 1," Jeffress said today. "That should make it pos sible for some of this new con struction work to get started by July 15 or 20 at the latest. Most of the contractors in the state have their organizations ready to. go to work on a few days' notice, so there will not be any delay from that angle." The first thing that must be learned from Washington are the rules and regulations that must be set up governing the expendi ture of this federal money on highway construction and other public works, Jeffress said. In dications are that these new reg ulations will be based upon the regulations that have governed the federal aid emergency road building program for the past year. It is expected that these (Continued qn page six.) '' "Each nation mutt help itself domestically as President Knon ■ velt is doing," he said.
