The one thing .hat has been occupying the minds of the members of the General As sembly, as we 1 as the executive of ficers of the State, for the past few Jays is the financial crisis in the na tion, which resulted in virtual b;mk ing holidays in every State in th Union, and the declaration i>i a mod ified hoiday by President Roosevelt On last Saturday the General As sembly passed, in about 15 minutes a bill de'egating to the commissions of banks authority to limit with drawals of funds from any or a1 banks in the Stale. On Monday til legislation was supplemented with : bill which validated the action o* Governor Ehringhaus in declaring : bank holiday for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and authorized banl holidays by proclamation of 1h Governor at any time when, in hi discretion, such action may becorr. necessary to conserve the interests o' the depositors in banks of the Stat Ho is given plenary powers ov banks. It is hoped by this means 1' ! present bank failures and to pave th deposits of the peop'e in banking in stitutions. A similar bill, giving ar thority to the Insurance Commission or in prevent cancellation of insur i.tnee po'icies during banking holiday and times of stress was enacted; a was a bill to conserve the assets V I building and loan associations. Tilt- c-risis has beep loo;ning large on the horizon day by day and weel by week, since a financial stringency in the city of Octroi', forced a banl holiday in the State of Michigan The movement spread from State ti Statu until it enve'oped the entir nation. Xorth Carolina was one o' the last stales to declare the holiday which was forceel to prevent with draws] of funds from this to othe States. With New York and I'linoi , both operating on the holiday basis it was inevintftf? that even' Stat must join the procession. With Con gress meeting in extraordinary ses sion on Thursday, cal'cd for the pur pose of dealing with the situation it is hoped that the skies will betji' to clear within a few days and th? normal processes of business can b resumed. The peop'e generally hav he?*n taking their medicine withon making faces, and hi.ve been goinr ahead coo' i.v and calmly in the fac of the crisis, showing the commoi sense and patriotism of the Ameri can i>eople, and their ability to tak it on the chin, standing np, and t< carry on. This saving grace is th' greatest asset of America. At last the appropriations bill hi) boon introduced in the House, an?* will become the order of the day ir discussion and voting:, b< fore the en'1 ol' th? week, as it is taken up, iter l?y item and voted upon. There ar? j ih<i<e in the General Assembly wit think it unwise to attempt passag ] of either an appropriations or a rev j emu* bill under existing condition? j and who favor taking a recess fo~ | a few weeks, and coming' back t< : Ra'cigh to finish up the job nfte* the storm has somewhat abated However, those of that opinion an pear to be in the minority, and it has fai'ed to develop that such r t movement will make headway. How i ever, if anything like a prolonged j discussion or a dead'ock should ap pear, as the appropriations hi I start' on its way through the House, i' may be that such a move will b made. Those favoring it advance th thought that it is easy to make mis takes at such a time as this, aw1 that it might he better to delay ac (ion than to make costly errors. Tli appropriations bill as introduce" fames with, it an appropriation $40,000 a year for Western Oaro'jn: Teachers College, which is $10,000 ir advance of the amount suggested i? the budget. Senator Francis an-' Representative Tompkins made th' fight in behalf of the Western In stitution. contending that they wer not asking that the total anpropvia tion for the institutions be increased so is to cost the State any mot monev than was set up in the bwW-' but. that what they did ask was tha' Western Carolina Teachcrs Col'eg be given its fair share of Ihc tota' anoronriation, putting it on a pari" with the other state institutions. Th committee took their view of it, an'1 raised the appropriation for th I school by $10,000 a year, or to r ! total, of $40,000, which is a fiftTe less [ (oon tinned on 2) ROTARY COUNCIL HOLDS QUARTERLY MEETING HERE The quarterly meeting oi' tin- West ern Xor.h Carolina Kotaiy Council was held Tuesday night at the Jar r?.tt Springs lioul in Dil.sboro, with tli?'
