Holloway’s Hits i _ _ Hy Jas. 11. Holloway, Rak-igl •) NATIONAL The coming session of Congress w 11 probably go on a number of fishing expeditions as soon as it convenes in January. Investiga tions will be the order of the day ai.d considerable time will be wast ed in such maneuvering. Con gressional investigations accom plish very little but it gives an outlet to the curiosity of certain p ying members and they are n ver so happy as when they are consuming the time that should be devoted to more important mat ter. President Roosevelt will write the ticket for the coming sco.hon as he did for the last two. If.ere will be some grumbling but h : 5 program will go through al i:r>st identically as it is written. the payment of the soldier! bonus will probably be one of the; most controversial subjects con- 1 sidered. The crime situation will, also have an important place in the program. Crime has become nationwide and unless some con fer ed plan can be devised to check the rapidly growing car ni‘ .'.l of lawlessness this natio will soon be unsafe to live in so every one.

Ills speech wag great 1 advertising for this common j wealth and will give encourage i men: to outside capital to come here. The governor is about to meet the supreme test as a states i n an. The second session of the General Ass mbiy is always a try ing time for a governor. He has to defend his previous two yea.: record and plead with the lav. makers for further legislation. His patronage is then almost ex hausted and he is in no positioi to trade juicy patronage plums foi legislative support. This fact lone makes the solons more in dependent of gubernatorial dicta ion as most of them are hoping .hat patronage lightning wil strike them and as long as there is a possibility of that happening they remain on friendly terms with the governor. The re-enactment of the sales ! tax seems to be conceded by | every one but unless the rate is ; doubled it will never provide the ■mount of tax necessary to run ~ the government, raise salaries and I balance the budget. It will be necessary to find new T sources of r-xation but no one seems to have y idea where it is coming from 1 the General Assembly was cor. sed of men wi h cou aye am nestv tliev would proceed with * * m at delay to tax the tobacco am . ility interests to take care o e s'tuation.

The North Carolina Utilities Commissioner under the constant prodding of Will Wynne has at last ordered a reduction in the telephone lates in a number of towns throughout the state. Will Wynne deserves all the credit for any reductions that will finally be made. The power and light com- panies however seem to have com pletely captured the commissioner. After months of investigation and he threshing over of old st aw, he commissioner has at last is sued an order v hich is apparently entirely satisfactory to the power i rust as it gives no relief to the mall U3er of lights and power. With the na ional government training every nerve to bring about an honest reduction of the unreasonable service charges the people have so long been burdened it is a sad commentary to ee the commissioner elected by the people again allowing the pow r people lo write their own rates, if the recent order had been is ued before the November election ae would have been defeated. Approximately 5,000,000 000 cig ars are consumed annually in the U liked States. 1 The Pacific Ocean is larger in 1 rea than the total land suiface of the earth.
