Needs Investigation, Anyhow.
Notwithstanding the Governor's
strong recoronienJation that the leg
islature niike snae investigation of
the condition under which fire in
surance is solJ in this State, the in
surance lolly has secuivd an un
favorable rejvrt to a bill providing
for suih iavttigation. The fire in
surance companies have started the
way of all such corporations. Such
policy has always been to declare
that there was nothing wrong and if
there was, it was none cf the publics
busings. Thus at a time when the , Appointment4 of Re v. j i.. Bennett

This is the Correct thing in the epin-1 rfciived forconsidt-ration and distnbu-
ion of many of our wisest men, j
While there are some ci nstitutional j
amendments needed, there is o need
for revising the whole constitu
tion cf the State, ar.d such amend
ments as are needed can be and
should be prepared and submitted
to the people one or two at a time.
This is the way the suffrage amend
ment was submitted, and the people
thoroughly understood the question
and voted for what they wanted.

There has hvz a very t-trocg de
mand from farmers organizations,
individuals and oil era that the meth
od of registering land titles known
as the Torrens sysMn, be enacted 1
this legislature. However, at this
time, resting under an adverse re
port by the judiciary committee, tht
measure seems to be lai J out cn a
cooling hoard for this session. While
we would not wrongfully raise a sus
picion against our lawyer friends
who composed the judiciary commit
tee exclusively, we cannot help but
think that the bill would have fared
better in the hands of some other
committee. It is not natural that
these gentlemen would see the need
of sweeping away a system that l
highly promotive of litigation ant
fees. We pay in all sincerity that
these gentlemen should not be ex
peeted to see the necessity for thi
change, or be blamed for not seeing
it. But if we are ever going to get
the chance, the fact still remains that
we must get it from some other
source than the judiciary committee.
Union Does Not Want to Change.
A bill has been introduced in the
legislature to tako Inion county
from the 7th congressional district
and place it in the 8th. The eighth
runs now from Stanly to the border
counties of Virginia, aad though it
is at present Democratic, it is not
safely so. The argument is that
Union would make the eighth safely
Democratic. Union has always been
the football cf manipulators, and we
are tired of it It is now in the
