Raleigh, Feb. 22—The Statewide driver’s license bill was finally passed or. third reading by the House today, after that body spent most of Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday consider ing nothing but this bill. So many amendments were added to it in the House, however, that the Senate is not expected to concur in a good many of them when the bill is sent back there for its acceptance. As a result, it is expected that the bill will be sent to a conference committee before an agreement is finally reached. That may require a week or ten days yet. The Statewide driver’s license bill is the first bill of major importance to be passed by both the Senate and House and the first major administra tion bill to be enacted, since it was | recommended by Governor J.

A repres entative of the Postal Telegraph Com pany also spoke. R. C. Vaughn and Richard Stockton talked for the banker's. Although there were probably more bankers in Ra leigh for tire hearing than are or dinarily seen at banker’s conventions —they jammed the committee room— and the affair took on the atmosphere of a banking holiday, Vaughn and Stockton were the only speakers of fered. They protested violently the pro posal to tax stock dividends now ex empt and presented figures showing that if wealthy men leave the State to avoid tli e payment of such a tax that the State would lose more In in heritance taxes than would be gain ed by the imposition of the six per cent dividend tax. They also predicted that many cor porations would dissolve if the Mc- Donald plan to increase franchise taxes is enacted into law and cited figures of the State revenue depart ment to show that 715 domestic cor (Continued oil Page Two) WEATHER FOR NORTH CAROLINA.

BABSON Copyright 1935, Publishers Financial Bureau. Inc. Phoenix, Arizona, Feb. 19 The gold decision is a great victory for the inflationists. It will discourage long term credits and certain bond issues but should accelerate business im provement which means much higher prices for many stocks, commodities and real estate properties. The decision should make it un necessary for the United States Gov ernment to spend so much money on relief and public works. Although decision will speed up business for the next few years, it will mean high er living costs and ultimately there will be a day of reckoning. The orgy of spending at Washington is speed ing up this day of reckoning! KENNAMER AWAITING JUDGMENT OF COURT Oklahoma Slayer of Bo.v Companion Convicted of First Degree Manslaughter by Jury Pawnee.

(AP) On motion of administration leaders, tn'e Senate today returned the 1U.500.000.- 000 relief bill to its appropriations committee. Action was taken on motion of Sen ator Robinson, the Democratic lead er, who explained the $8,80.000,000 di rect relief money would be returned in a separate bill.
