Raleigh, Feb. 22.—A weary senate, after playing ping-pong with the so called “marriage license bill” for something like three weeks, has now passed the buck to -the House, which has already registered its disapproval of the measure in no uncertain terms and which has apparently had no eleventh-hour change of heart. There is little doubt in the minds of legis lative observers here that the bill, as passed by the Senate, can ever get the House’s appropval, and in this event the controversy will remain at ex actly the same point it did a month ago when Representative Thompson, of Columbus, introduced the original measure in the House.

Feb- 22. —(AP)— The House Coinage Committee today re versed itself and approved a sub-com mittee bill providing for the purchase of silver bullion for monetary pur poses. The bill was amended, however, to limit purchases to $250,00d,000 worth of the metal. There already was a provision that not more than 40,000,000 ounces of silver should be purchased in any one month. This measure, iminus the $250,000,000 limitation, was rejected by the committee yesterday. Under the bill as it now stands, the Treasury would purchase the silver, coin it into silver dollars and issue silver certificates against them. The new certificates .together with the one dollar silver certificate already outstanding, would be “upon a parity with other outstanding currency” and (acceptable as full legal tender lIkWILL fir? Rogers fsciys: Beverly Hills, Calif., Feb* 22. Carter Glass, when he told the Senate that the whole Reconstruc tion Finance thing was bad, told them exactly what every Senator knew in his heart, but didn’t have the nerve to say. Every man .every industry in the U. S. was hit by depression. Before you start dealing out pub lic funds to help, you should have first found out have we enougli money to give aid *o everyone, every industry* If not, I am not going to give part of them a sandwich and leave the rest to go hungry. But no, they didn’t do that: They just started right in by help ing the bankers. So every man, woman and child in the U. S. thinks and rightfully so that they have got as much right to get some sort of govern ment aid as the bankers. Due to the lack of foresight of our law makersi, the bankers, the railroads and big business got the first U* S. dole, and it will never be finish ed till the last one hundred and twenty million reach lit and get theirs, because they feel they got it coming. No wonder Glass was too smart to be treasurer.
