House Agriculture Committee haa
evolved a substitute for the bill as
originally introduced —a substitute
which the committee members hon
estly and sincerely (believe takes care
of the “little man” (so dear to the
heart of the politician.) and estab
lishes a system of acreage control
which will benefit the tobacco grower
of both large and small estate, raise
the price of tobacco to the growers
to a point where all will be prosperity
and in general bring about a near
millenium in the farm belt.
This happy solution, they believe,
will follow enactment of a bill which
pledges North Carolina to meet with
other tobacco growing states in or
der to allocate acreage quotas to each
and empowers the farmers of North
Carolina, through a somewhat cum
bersome system of meetings and elec
tions, to name a State commission
which shall have almost despotic pow
ers in alloting acreage to individual
farmers within the State.
It is witn respect to this latter pow
er that protection of the “little man”
entered the picture and the commit-*
tee believes it has taken care of this,
beloved character by establishment of
a minimum acreage quota below
which the commission may not go in
allocations.
It Is i n this respect, too, that there
is still 6 reat argument in certain
quarters ar\d it is this feature which

amendment bristling with "provided

the small farmer. This purpose, too,
was reiterated at great length in the

preceded the body of his amendment.

were available and many legislators
balked at proceeding to enactment
wtihout having had time to study the
committee substitute which is feeing
proposed to take the place of the ori
ginal measure.
Craven’s Libby Ward led in a plea
for delay until the substitute can be
printed so that each member might
have a copy. Chairman W. E. Fenner
of the committee did not press hard
for immediate action, but did express
the opinion that there was no real
reason for waiting.
It remained for Representative
Thomas E. Royster, of Granville to
put into words the feelings of what
many believe is a majority of the
House.
He said, in effect:
“I come from a tobacco raising
county and I am earnestly interested;
but if I had a copy of the bill and
could study it for six weeks I still
wouldn’t know any more about it than
I do now. I am ready to rely upon
the good judgment of these gentlemen
on the committee and to vote right
away.”
And that’s how most House mem
bers are'—bemused if not completely
befuddled.

Work on the revenue measure may

It was recommended that the leg
islature pass a three per cent sales
tax measure from which nine basic
articles of food would be exempted.
Application of the levy on retail sales
would start at 15-oent purchases, in
stead of as now at 10-cent sales un
de rthe exemptionless levy.
Representative King, of Scotland,
led the fight for a flat two per cent
fight, losing in sub-committee and be
fore the jqjnt group, and announced
he would abide by the committee’s
findings. Hints of later fights, how
ever, came from Paul Leonard, sec
retary of the fair tax association, who
said the matter would go to the floor.
Forty-four members of the joint
committee voted against the two per

two voted present. A 2 1-2 per cent
amendment was also voted down.

Hundreds of persons attended a
House Judiciary Committee hearing

Statewide referendum on prohibition.
The committee decided to vote next
Tuesday on reporting the measure. It
also has a bill to put the State in the

Representative Pickens, of Guilford
sponsored the bill to give Buncombe,
Mecklenburg and Guilford each an ad

and after Frank Bane, executrive di
rector of the Federal social security
program, had talked on the entire se
curity question, a jtoint committee
started work on the bill.
Senator Hill of Durham repeatedly)
attacked it as a “most extreme” pro
posal in taking away local self-gov
ernment.
To the surprise of even its staun
chest supporters. A House committee
.favorably reported a resojlution to
ratify the Federal child labor amend

tobacco compact bill were set as spe
cial house orders for Monday after
noon.
Protect Small Farmer.
The tobacco compact bill as amend
ed in committee, sponsors said, pro
vides adequate protection for “small
farmers.” No person who had an AAA
or “historic base" acreage of 3.2 acres
or less would have that reduced, but
efforts to put on a maximum acreage
limit failed.
Representative Siler, of Chatham,
proposed a 7750,000 bond issue for a
new office building in Raleigh.
A house sub-committee on education
started studies intended to provide
safer school bus bodies in the State.
During hearings on the social se
curity measures, Senator Gravely, of
Nash, hinted that counties having li
quor stores planned to raise their
share of the finances for the pro
gram from liquor sales.
Many different groups appeared lie
fore legislative committees on various
questions. Most of them came to pro
test proposed tax levies on fairs, slot
machines, chain Stores, wines and
the druggists appeared in opposition
to adoption of a 15-cent minimum
for application of the sales tax. They
contended they must pay the levy on
gross retail sales and already lose
money due to many nickel sales which
are untaxed.
Representative Vogler, of Mecklen
burg, suggested to the finance com
mittee that a sub-group of seven be
named to study the matter of more
.equitable taxation but received mo
support.
Dual Control Liquor
Stores Plan Growing

the enactment of such a bill. Some
of these developments regarded as
helping greatly to smooth the way
for the eventual enactment of a State
wide liquor stores bill, are as follows:
1. The action by the Alabama Gen
eral Assembly Thursday in enacting
a Statewide liquor stores bill, on a
county option basis, despite the fact
that Governor Bibb Graves, like
Governor Clyde R. Hoey, was in
favor of a Statewide referendum be
fore doing away with State prohibi
tion.
2. The compromise worked out in
the finance oommittee on the propos
ed new Stat? tax on intangibles, un
der which the State will collect the
tax and remit 60 per cent of the
revenue collected back to the counties
retaining only 40 per cent for State
use.
3. The defeat of the reapportion
ment bill in the House Thursday, in
which many Piedmont and western
members voted with the eastern mem
bers, thus paving the way for some
of the eastern members to vote with
these others on the liquor control bill.
4. The growing need on the part of
both the counties and the State for
additional revenue, with the x estab
lishment of liquor stores holding out
the easiest and most immediate means
of providing this new revenue without
the levying of additional taxes.
5. The indication that the General
Assembly will heed the request of the
counties to postpone any effort to re
classify property for taxation or to
put the homestead amendment into es
feet for at least two years, yet in ord
er not to reduce the property valua
tions in the counties qnd hence re
duce +heir revenues.

that the General Assembly will enact

$2,000,000 a year of the total of $4,-

ticipation with the Federal govern

ures .
Some think that the General Assem
bly is deliberately maneuvering and
its members are even openly “trad
ing” with the members from the east
ern counties having county liquor
stores, or those who want the county
liquor control system continued, in an
effort to get them in a position where
they will almost be compelled to com
promise and accept a liquor control
bill calling for both State and county
control and participation in profits, i
Most observers are inclined to be
l.eve that there is very little deliber
ate “trading” going on and that many
of these developments have come
about without any thought of the li
quor bill whatever. Instead, they be
lieve that circumstances and facts
are gradually bringing about develop
ments which are going to materially
assist in the eventual enactment of a
liquor control law very similar to
the law recommended by the State
Comm.ssion.
Very few believe there was any
thought of the liquor situation in the
intangibles tax plan finally worked
out by the finance committee. But it
is generally agreed that if the State
consents to give back 60 per cent of
the proceeds from this tax to the coun
ties, that the 17 eastern count.es with
liquor stores are going to be much
more willing to give up 20 per cent
of their liquor profits to the State.
It is also agreed that the defeat of
.he reapportionment bill with the help
of Piedmont and western votes, has
nade many of the eastern members
feel better and more likely to agree
to a compromise on liquor control.
At any rate, the outlook is brighter.
ALABAMA VOTE ENHANCES
LIQUOR CONTROL LOCALLY
Raleigh, Jan. 30—Already bright
prospects for enactment of a liquor
control law based primarily on county
option received another boost in ac
tion of the Alabama legislature in
passing such a statute for the “Here
vVe Rest” state.
For some time Alabama, a State
with a prohibition law so strict that
it prohibits the sale of any beverage
that even “looks like beer,” has been
in the throes of a legislative fight
similar to that now in progress in
North Carolina and the action of its
.aw makers was taken only after long
and serious study and debate.
The fact that after this thorough in
vestigation Alabama legislators have
decided, by a very substantial major
ity, that county option is the best
method of handling the liquor ques
tion will certainly give added impetus
to the campaign here to the same end.
Another feature in which the Ala
bama struggle bears a very close re
semblance to that in North Carolina
lies in the fact that in both states the
governor is dry and an advocate of a
Statewide referendum before any
county can set up liquor stores; but
the effect of this coincidence may be
entirely different in Alabama from
what it can possibly be here.
In Alabama Governor Bibb Graves
has the veto power and it is generally
predicted that he will veto the bill on
the grounds that it does not provide
for a Statewide vote; and inasmuch
as neither house passed the bill be a
two-thirds majority his veto is likely
to Nullify the consideration action
of the legislature.
On the other hand North Carolina
has always shied away from giving its
chief executive a check-rein on the
legislature and no matter how strong
ly Governor Clyde R. Hoey may feel
he will be absolutely impotent to
thwart the will of the legislature.

and was recently voted the most at

The majority of co-eds specified that
the “ideal man” must be “sincere,
well mannered, well-dressed, consider

As Waters Rise In
Long Flood Trails

58.75 feet today, the highest stage in
the city’s history.
Increasing the menace to the city
was the fact the spillway basin was
almost full. Engineers faced a choice j
of blasting a new outlet for the basin,
seeking to divert the waters lack to
the main stream bed or allowing the
flood to pile back with renewed pres
sure on Cairo.
Above Cairo, to the north, emer
gency pick and shovel crews labored
frantically to plug two breaks in the
eastern levees.
BREASTWORKS DEFENSE IS
RAISED AGAINST WATERS
(By The Associated Press.)
The retreat beyond the grasp of an
insatiable enemy quickened today as
the relentless surge of flood water
toward the Mississippi river spurred
a tireless army in its defense of the
sotuhland’s cotton belt.
A pick and shovel army of 115,000
bolstered by reinforcements, raised
breastworks on both sides of the river
and waited the zero hour to coma
with the crest of the flood when it
sweeps past Cairo, 111., next Wednes
day and starts its rush down the Mis
sissippi and to the gulf.
Then will come the test of the gi
gantic levee system. Anxious thous
ands in the river lowlands between
Cairo and New Orleans prayed they
would be saved the fate of their fel
low American in the Ohio river basin.
The pick and shovel army waged i
strenuous and apparently successfu
fight to hold the dykes across Slough
Landing Neck, a few miles above
Tiptonville, Tenn., and redoubled its
efforts to raise a bulkhead as the
flood waters inched toward the top
r ' s a 60-foot sea wall at Hickman,
Ky.
On the lower Ohio the rampaging
flood waters forced complete evacua
tion of 8,000 persons from Paducah,
Ky., after the State health officer re
ported the city was uninhabitable.

expected to go on relief rolls, the
House sped approval of the $790,000,-
000 appropriation originally intended
to finance relief through June. Simi
lar Senate action is expected Monday.
More funds will probably be asked
later.
Few questions were asked about
this exercise of Federal power to meet
a national disaster. When it came to
invoking the general welfare clause of
the Constitution for a $50,000,000 seed
loan bill, however, the Senate had a
foretaste of the dispute to come over
administration plans to spread em
ployment and establish minimum
wages.
Senator Glass, Democrat, Virginia,
produced a message by which Presi
dent Cleveland 50 years ago vetoed
a similar bill, recommending it to his
colleagues as “an interesting relic of
constitutional government.”
Senator Bapey, Democrat, North
Carolina, said Cleveland’s term was
in the horse and buggy days.”
