It is generally recognized that I the county elections are controlled t and it is planned to end this con-1 trol and let the people choose their I oira county officers. Those who are I I fighting the measure, for the most I part, fear the political consequences m to themselves and their friends if I honesty is anaugurated at the polls. . I There is the big fight-it is a battle j between those who desire elections I I on the square and these who want I iiiem so that they can control them j I for their own purposes. The big1 K guns in this fight vnll he fired this I f week when the bill gets to the floor I of the legislature. 1: promises to be I I a record-making struggle. / Big Education Fight I | .Vest to that will come the fight Tl1Prp are a halfj I over eauwuuu. Idozen bills in the hoppers of the tiro houses providing for various tads of educational control and Governor has still another law. This measure will be fought by many B but the others do not seem to pre sent any real silution. Governor I Gardner's plan would provide for an increase in the equalizing fund for public schools by nearly two j I million dollars, the money to be j I apportioned out to make the six I months school possible without too I heavy local taxation, to relieve' I these counties which have been} I carrying the eight months term j I without State aid and to extend the j length of the term wherever pos|jg| havinS in mind an ultimate' I months term without resort JOg to constitutional amendment.) I Another plan provides a 40 cent tax! H in each county for school purposes to assure the eight months term. M This measure has beat the gover nor's in getting a favorable report and may be aired on the floor this I week. It will mean reduction of taxes for schools in some ocunties I and increases in others. The Gov ernors nlan hmvpvpr is favnrpri hv I most of the legislators and probably will be victorious as it will assure educational relief without disturbing taxation systems too much, and that is the primary object of the legislature this year. Third Question The third major question before the General Assembly is the roads tax and road building plans. It is practically certain that the gasoline tax will be increased one cent but the question of what to do with this is puzzling many. A compromise bill has received committee approval! and may be argued on the floor of I r*f *- a1 I \\ ' s . i t A.

College, was shot and killed recently by Paul Locke, 19, Bennett's former classmate, at Bartlesville, Okla. Bennett was escorting a young lady home from the movies when Locke stepped from behind a shadow and held them up. In the dim light Locke did not recognize his former classmate. A struggle for Locke's weapon fired it, the bullet piercing Bennett's stomach. Locke blamed lack of funds for the crime. the General Assembly this week. It provides that this extra tax money on gasoline shall be set aside for use in developing county highways with the provision that county highways with the provision that county levies shall not be increased by more than ten per cent over last year. It is also provided that this fund must be administered under supervision of the State highway commission. This will keep out those who merely want the fund to be turned over to county commissioners for road work, which means that it probably will be squandered and nothing good will result. Governor Gardner is uuueisiwu w uc ioiuiable now to the bill which will provide for supervision under the State ; of certain county roads, this being the only change from his original plan which provided for additional roads to be taken ? and made i part of the State sy-.tom. Hie bill approved incorporat -lis ideas and while there will be j, fight, his side . probably will be victorious. With the session * o.lfway over the legislature thus fat r-as not handled any of the ma jo problems. Of ' course a great deal -i work has been done in committees but to the observer it appeal j that a lot of work might have been done in handling local biro and lesser important State-wine bills if the legislators had made up their minds to get them out of the way while the major measures were in committee. Now many of the lesser bills must be considered in the last month of the session and also there Ko nrmcWowH thp finance bills. UlUOU Wt- wxiuiuv*vw ? r appropriation and revenue measures, road bills, school bills, secret ballot bill, and others. This means that there will be an invertable rush which may cause some important bills either to be neglected entirely or passed hastily without due study of many of their requirements. Table Pension Bill During the week the senate tabled a bill providing for pensions for widows and dependents of policemen and sheriffs slain in line of duty and assessing a special tax of one dollar on all convicted in ng ?You Can Fight ices of Fire! est whenever a fire occurs?but work they are, every fire causes the property involved, if not i heavy loss. ences of fire?take out a fire The insurance rates are very onsult with us?you incur no c & minium nil L U UUIIUIIIU uui mtoi) isident B.

However, it will come up for consideration again this week when it will be called from the table. Another important measure which must be considered is that providing for establshment of a State highway patrol with a State-wide licensing act for auto drivers. This measure is still in committee but is said to have a fair chance to pass at this session. Road authorities are in favor of it because they believe it will cut down materially the number of accidents on the roads of the State which are daily taking nearly two lives on the average. Woman Is Honored An unusual honor came to a Raleigh woman during the week. Dr. Delia Dixon Carroll was elected president of the Raleigh Academy of Medicine. It is the first time that a woman has been so honored. Dr. Carroll is well known throughout the State and is prominent in civic club circles and women's movements. The General Assembly paused during the week to honor the memory of Andrew Johnson, the man who fled from being a tailor's apprentice in Raleigh and returned later as president of the United States. Representative Oscar Haywood of Montgomery eounty and Judge Robert W. Winston were the chief speakers. Seven inebrities escaped from the State asylum for the insane last Friday and have never been heard from since. The men had been en route to a dance in the asylum grounds when they overpowered the guards and escaped. The Raleigh police department is on the alert for hold-up men following four hold-ups during the past three weeks. Business establishments have been the victims of the raids. Two arrests and convictions have been made, accounting for those who held up one place but the other robberies remained unsolved. Senator Walter Clark of Mecklenburg has introduced a bill which would provide for refunds in the case of unfair rates charged by railroads for a period of two years prior to such legal action for recovery before the corporation commission. The bill is in the nature of an amendment to the present laws concerning railroad rates. The affairs of the State fair were somewhat cleared up during the week when all of the funds were accounted for but ? _ i there stm remains a uenun, m operating expenses which the legislature must dispose of. Governor Gardner sent a special message to the legislature urging that an appropriation be made for prosecu I We're Not Tryir About We think we know i dumb if we don't?we'v< But if what we believ is not so?we're simply you.

THE WARREN RECC tion of cases before the inter- 1 state commerce commission in c which there had been overcharges because of unfair rates. The object of the legal action would be to get rates for the entire North Carolina t territory which are comparable to those of other sections. Judge Wins- , ton introduced a bill which would ? restrict private prosecution in . criminal courts to two lawyers who . must be nam id by and with consent of the trial judge. The measure ' is designed to eilminate endless . arguments in court and unusual c pressure of wealth to get acquitals. ^ An important measure proposed by f Representatives Hines of Sampson was to aDDoint a purchasing agent , to do all the buying for schools of j the State on a competitive basis. It was argued that large sums would thus be saved. m Hearings Continued Hearings continued before the joint finance committee during the week on more than two score of the provisions of the measure.

Although the capacity of the | Vicks laboratories has been tripled I cinno 1Q1? thev are once more operating night shifts to meet the I national emergency, The present output of more than 1 432,000 jars a day almost staggers I the imagination. It means thatjl every 00 seconds, day and night, L over 3000 jars of Vicks are going'! out to check the nation's cold and, E help ward off the flu.
