PAGE 2 miiiiiiiiiiiiiifflmn.'fflffmmmmm?! The Lool By JOHN A. I "I see we're to have a new Constitution," remarked Suzanne at the breakfast table after reading in the morning paper that the Constitutional Commission had been discussing proposals to give the Governor the veto power, women the right to sit cn juries and abolish election of State officers with exception of the Governor. "Not so as you can notice it," snapped her father as he gulped down a hot cup of coffee. Suzanne wasn't the only one that thought the Constitution would be changed forthwith and immediately otto* roaHinff that Judge John J. ha wv* - vmw?g _ Parker, who missed getting on the U. S. Supreme Court bench, had proposed a number of important changes in the Constitution, such as classifying property for taxation and that Major George Butler had suggested giving the Legislature authority to control farm crop production. There were many others who thought that the changes might go into effect at once. However, they were only suggestions, nothing more. Even if the Constitutional Commission should approve them, and it has so far made no approvals, its recommendations must go to the next Legislature, which does not meet until a year from next January, and if they get by the Legislature, then they must be voted on by the people. So it is a long road that proposed changes in the Constitution have to travel. Bill Jcnes has recently been very much exercised because the last Legislature proposed a change in the Constitution to permit speciai elections for passing on proposed changes in the Constitution. The present Constitution provides that constitutional amendments must Joe submitted at a general election. Bill Jones says that if they are submitt. ed at a special election that the voters will not turn out and that this will make it possible for organized interests to secure a Constitution made for their special benefit. Exercised as Bill Jones is, the proposed change in the Constitution cannct take place unless authorized by the voters at the next general election, which will be held next November. So Bill has plenty of time in which to conduct an educational campaign against a change that he says is iniquitous. Of course, there is an argument for having constitutional amendments voted on at special elections. At general elections there are so many officers to be elected that voters give the Con_ stitutional amendments little attention. Often they are buried for lack of attention. Tarn Bowie, of West Jefferson, is shelling the woods for the Senate. He has just precipitated another campaign issue by announcing his corporate interests. He discloses that he owns five shares of bank stock, 25 shares of stock in a hotel and five shares of stock in an insolvent real estate development company. It had been reported that he was a millionaire. He punctures the rumor with a statement of fact. Nor is Bowie's wealth in his wife's name as he also discloses that she owns only a small block of stock in a Charlotte bank and some stock in a Charlotte manufacturing plant. Prom which it may be inferred that Frank Grist, running as the poor man's candidate, will not have a monopoly, Bob Reynolds, of Asheville, running as a Wet candidate, has recently let it be known that he will welcome campaign contributions. The tactics of the opposition candidates to Senator Morrison are clearly apparent. The senior North Carolina Senator is a man of means since his marriage to a woman of fortune. However, he still counts himself as one of the common people. His opponents, however, will 4.U?4. metric uic inuau ui tiic xati txxau nc is a man of wealth. Candidates fcr Congress and the Senate are required by law to file statements giving a "correct and itemized account of each contribution received by him or by any person for him with his knowledge and concent from any source, in aid or support of his candidacy for election, together with the name of the person who made such contribution.*' He is also required to file 'a correct and itemized account of each expenditure made by him or by any person for him with his knowledge or consent in aid or support of his candidacy for election, together with the name of the person to whom such expenditure was made." Not only are candidates required to give a full accounting of the money collected and expended by them in elections, but they are also required to file a "statement of every promise or pledge made by him or by any person for him with his consent, prior to the closing of the polls on the day of the election, relative to the appointment or recommendation for appointment of any person to any public or private position or employment fox the purpose of procuring support in his condidacy, and the name, address, and occupation of such person to Warren ton, N. ( ting Glass 1 LIVINGSTONE j whom any such promise or pledge has been made." While the original corrupt practices act applied also to primaries and conventions, the Supreme Court in the celebrated Newberry case held that it was invalid as to such primaries and conventions, but the Senate since that time has exercised its right of inquiring into such expenditures, appointing special committees to make such investigations, and it barred Vare, of Pennsylvania, for excessive expenditures under the authority given it by the Constitution to pass on the qualifications of its members. The livest political topic before i the State just now is over the advis' ability of legislative restriction of production of farm crops. Governor Gardner, who opposes such legislation, has set his foot down on it by refusing to call a special session. This gives him the whip hand, and there will be no special session, but it does not stop tiie oomoaramem, which is being led by Josephus Daniels and Clarence Poe. Dr. Poe favcrs restriction by puting a tax on excessive production. While it is denied that such legislation is similar to that of Prohibition, the latter being passed to stamp out an evil and the State having admitted authority to pass such legislation, yet there is a simi_ larity in that the Prohibition act does interfere with the liberty of the individual. It is this fact that has caused the Governor to take his stand against farm restriction' legislation, but Dr. Poe says that equality is as important as liberty and that without such legislation there can be no equality between unorganized manufacturers.

Quail Roost Guernsey Sets New State Record By producing 14,779 pounds of milk containing 863.25 pounds of butterfat, Landmark Princess May Rose, a 5-year old Guernsey cow owned by Quail Roost Farms in Durham county, has set a new state record in production for Guernseys of all ages. "This record exceeds any previous one in North Carolina by 41 pounds of fat," comments Robert H. Ruffner, head of the department of animal industry at State College. "The cow was born on December 26, 1924 and was sired by Itchens May King's Rouge of Waukesha and her moth- [ er was Queen's May Rose of Maple ' Hill.
