For even if the drys do secure injunctions in every county in an effort to prevent the opening of liquor stores, who will enforce the orders 'of the courts?

Even as he spoke at a press con ference, House Ways and Means Com mittee Democrats served notice on Senate leaders that they intended to insist upon originating a new tax bill to carry out the President’s program for a wider distribution of wealth- They did that through a resolution adopted at a secret meeting authoriz ing Chairman Doughton to advise Chairman Harrison, of the Senate Fi nance Committee, that the ways and means committee was “ready” to start action on a new bill. Meanwhile, the tax program en. countered delay in the Senate, which caused Democratic leaders to con cede there was little hope of getting it enacted by Saturday night. A session of the Senate Finance Committee to act on some of the levies was called off because Treas ury and legislative drafting experts had not completed work on the ten tative rate schedules.

An automobile concern announces the reopening of a plant in Evans, ville, Ind.. a city of some HD,OOO per sons. By Dec. 1, the plant should be running full—and by that time (if business holds up and all is well) 5.000 men w r ill Ibe at work. To recondition the plant, $1,000,000 will have to be spent. We read this in the Wall Street Journal. It is first-page news even ihere. Then we pick up the Evansville papers. x'hey look as if all the bells and whistles of the city had sounded. They look as if the people had danced In the streets in joy. The “end of the depression” (in. Evansville) is hailed somewhat as was the end of the war.

(A_p> — t wo Eastern North Carolina counties— Edgecombe and Wilson—today went ahead with plans to open liquor stores within a few days, while a third, Franklin, was under a court order re straining it from holding a liquor re ferendum Saturday, Judge Clawson L. Williams issued the restraining order against the Franklin referendum last night in an opinion holding the so-called “Pas quotank liquor act” passed (by the 1935 legislature to authorize refern da in 17 counties was unconstitution al. Only the day before, Judge J. Paul Frizzelle, at Whiteville, ruled the New Hanover act, which authorized an election in New Hanover county, un constitutional, but dissolved a tem porary restraining order against a referendum there because, he said, most of the election expense there had already been incurred, and “the people affected” should have a right to express their views.” Judge Williams, In ruling on the Pasquotank act, held that the county act, a tax measure, was not passed on three separate days in the legis lature, as the Constitution requires, and that it violated another section of the Constitution as it gave the peo ple of a few counties a special pri vilege not applicable to the rest of the State. Judge Williams also held that the act was “contrary to the State Con stitution and the fourteenth amend ment of the United States Constitu tion, as it denied to the people of the State the protection of equal laws and the equal protection of all laws.” EDGECOMBE WILL OPEN STORE SOON Tarboro.

IaTmANNOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY Congress Sees Presidents Suggestion Blow at Long, Coughlin, Etc. By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington,, June ! 26. —Congress does not take President Roosevelt’s “share our wealth” recommendation very seriously. The plan is not on his “must” pro gram for the current session. The White House, therefore, is not understood to consider action on it a matter of urgent necessity. The executive message concerning it was received as the lawmakers were try ing to clean up for an early adjourn ment—and it is no secret that the President desires as early an adjourn ment as possilble. It naturally would be delayed indefinitely by an attempt to enact “share our wealth” legis lation- WHY NOW? The presidential “share our wealth” bugle call, then, quite generally is re ferred to on Capitol Hill as rather in the nature of a gesture than a real bugle call. But why the gesture at this par ticular, seemingly inconvenient junc ture? Well, it takes the wind out of Sen. ator Huey P. Long’s sails, and out of Father Coughlin’s, and out of Dr. Townsend’s And yet it is a gesture which is made early enough to per mit its effects to wear off before Con gress will have a chance to take any substantial notice of it. Such is the congressional diagnosis, anyway.
