Senator Mendenhall gave notice that this mornine- he will carry the partia- mentary point to Lientenant Governor Cooper. The House today passed the bill giv ing the Secretary of State authority to employ special detectives to ferret out drivers of automobiles who are violating the license tax law. The De partment has been sui for the past year that thousands of people in the State have ben driving their automo biles under fu-titious numbers and are thereby evadirg the license law. Sate banks will have to undergo two examinations yearly by the bank ing department, according to an amend ment to the 1921 banking law passed at -the last general session. une amendment to the mil was put through the House by Representative Connor and others who pointed out the need for more frequent examinations as evi denced by the fact that large numbers of banks hav- failed during the past year. Some of these failures might have jeen prevented, in their opinion, by more adequate supervision by the State. The House amendment which is giv ing the troublrj" was introduced by Rep resentative Hendrix. of Madison, and provides that ilaclison county towns will iot have to submit the proposi tion of a bond issue to the vote of the people before the bonds may be issued. Mr. Hendrix and Senator Ramsey, who also lives in Madison, are &t variance on the amendment Senator Ramsey does not believe the Hendrix amend ment lepreser.ts the sentiment of the people of Madison county. He' does not think that they would be willing to ;have; bonds put on them without a vote of the people and he offered an amendment in committee to strike out the Hendrix amendment. The commit tee stood with Senator: Ramsey and re ported the House bill as amended Hendrix amendment was not represen: tative of the wishes of the-people of the tovns in Madison county, Senator Rains y told the Senate that he real ized that the time was drawing near when he Lpislature wanted to ad- :'n the session has again clogged the docket..- " . , .

Representative Austin of Guilford and Connor of Wilson championed the cause rf the amendment which was opposed emption thrown into the Dili by the bv Ross of Moore, who thought its adop Kepresentativef rom Madison. Itinn m-miid nlarp too sreat a burden Both the Representative and Senator are Republicans, so the majority is not confronted with a partisan issue on-the question, whih is purely local in its application,- but which affects the whole bill. ' In the interest of time Senator Ram sey savi he would withdrew his amend ment to kill the Hendrix amendment. But Sol Gallert and some of the other t upon the banks in standing the expense for double inspection. In addition to the two yearly examinations the banking department of the State Corporation i Commission is authorized to examine any State bank as often as it is deemed necessary. The amendment sponsored by Austin and Connor was carried after consider- You Know That the "Kiddies" all like nice new Shoes We have them. $1.00 to $5 About 5,000 pair of the best Shoes to be had On sale for Christmas "Store open to 9 p. m. Saturday. Thompson's Fhone 23. members of the Senate were of the i 1 "d i1""' lTl' opinion that the exception of the towns of any particular section from the operation of the bill would render it unconstitutional, and therefore in valid. .. There was a good deal of dis cussion on this point, which finally re sulted in a resolution offered by Luns ford Long calling on the Supreme Court for information as to the valid ity. OTHER BUSINESS. An hour of the Senate's time '.was taken up on Thursday .with reading the hundred or more bills sent over from the 'House! Practically all", of these went to committees,1 for, the Senate is making, an effort to examine every bill that comes up unless there is request that they go on the calendar without reference, Consequently, while "Wednesday night the calendar of the Senate was clear, the House mes- Desnlte the fact that he believed the sage containing bills introduced early Lirt bets yrex And Individual Pieces tives had quizzed Representative Ross, who alone opposed the change. "The fact that there have been so many bank failures in North Carolina in recent months," said Mr. Connor, "indicate ! that there has been too f.ew inspections in the past. If that is true, then let's examine the State banks oftener." An amendment o:ered by Representa tive Matthews ot Bertie seeking ito strike from the bill the provision pro viding for employment of special coun sel by the State banking department in ; cases where it is apparent that officers of a State bank have been guilty of misappropriation of funds and in other cases wherein the banks have been sin ned against was voted down. The amended bill was finally passed on its third reading and enrolled for rati fication. The House concurred in the Senate amendment to the Murphy bill which authorizes the refund of taxes erroneous ly collected and paid into the State Ttreasury by the counties. The senate amendment reduced the time of refund ing the taxes, from five years as was originally proposed to two years. Better enforcement of the State auto mobile law is provided for in a bill ) which passed third reading in the .House Thursday. This bill authorizes the employment of five or . six special officers by the Secretary of State to curb violations of ! the automobile law, such as operating I cars without the, proper license, operat i ing cars with mutilated and fictitious ?! numbers, etc. Minority Leader Williams sought to defeat the measure but failed to obtain any support, the bill passing without a-roll call. Proposal contained in a bill to grant a divorce after the wife or husband had been confined in an insane hospital for a period of five years was rej3cted, the measure lying upon the J.able upon the motion of Representative Townserd of Harnett. The House made good progres? clear ing its calendars at Thursday's session, passing several score local bills.
