IBr the Associated Press.* • Raleigh, Jan. 9.—The future ot North Carolina's road program depends on what action in this respect is taken by the general assembly during the present ses sion. • . . 4 Four years ago. $50,()00.00 was made available for road building. In 1923, the general assembly added fifteen millions to this amount and, with the federal and amounts paid in by counties, approxi mately $80,000,000 has been spent on North Carolina'? roads during the past four years. A system of connecting county seats and hard, surfacing main arteries of trav el has been put into operation under Commisioner Frank Page and Highway Engineer Charles M. Upham but the en tire system is far from complete. The State highway commission, how ever. has announced that it will not re quest or recommend an additional bond issue for road purposes and further that it will not make any recommendations of any kind to the legislature. This is carried out in the biennial report of the commission which is simply on account of the roads which have been built, the money which has been spent in each county and a resume of the laws under which the body has operated. Nothing is requested; nothing is recommended . Local officialdom sees in this attitude of the highway commission an intention to let the record speak for itself. If the State program of road building as carried out under the Page administra tion la approved, then the belief about the eapitol is that -additional funds will he forthcoming. The commission has announced thnt it will be ready to furnish complete infor mation to any and all legislators upon request and that it has ready informa tion concerning the future road build ing program to give to those who wish i to mdke nse of ot'Rl’ft-aflitag RgMathnw A general belief exists at the eapitol that a bill will be introduced early in the session to provide a bond issue for road building. The amount has been mentioned as ranging from $20,000,000 to $85,000,000. Unless this money is forthcoming the road buolding program will be halted except for whnt ean be accomplished by- the use of funds turned over to the commission by the auto li cense department and such amounts as are paid into the state road funds by the counties. A major portion of this, however, will be necessary for the main tenance of the present system of roads. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1924, the commission received from the auto license department approximately eight million dollars. During the first six months of the present fiscal year the commission has received from this source approximately six millions, indicating a total collection on this direction of more than ten millions by the end of the fis cal year. The greatest collections us ually come in the first three months of the fiscal year. Numerous members of both the House and Senate have indicated that they are in favor of continuing the road building program. EDWARD M.

AVENTINE OPPOSITION TO FASCISTI REMAINS Conditions In Italy Uncertain, According to Views Expressed by Newspapers. Rome, Jan. i) (By the Associated Press). —Signs were not wanting today that the Aventine opposition to the fas cisti despite its action yesterday in de claring for continued abstention from parliamentary participation might after all put in an appearance in the chamber when that body meets next Monday. Both the Giornale D’ltalia and the Sereno, two of the leading opposition newspapers, reflect the apparently grow ing idea that the opposition will remain sterile so long as it limits itself to writ ten protests, such as the lengthy one is sued yesterday without any tangible ac tion to eenfront the B'.-fi'i-trtßent Arith Its accusations. ••<■ ■ “ The Sereno declares the retreat of the Aventine opposition has produced the de sired effect and that the time how has come for action; that the country must have*placed before it the alternative of fascism and anti-fascism with the electors passing judgment. To bring this about the newspaper declares, the opposition must re-enter the chamber. This statement, which is believed to have been authorized by the opposition leaders, is taken to mean not only the l-eturu of the Aventine absentees to par liament, but the determination of the op position to fight desperately in the next general elections. Doubts now are ex pressed in opposition quarters, however, as to the possibility of holding the elec tions before next fall.

Cotton Grow ers’ Association. (By the Associated Preaa.) Raleigh, Jan. 9.—“lt is a very serious matter to disobey the orders of the court,” remarked Judge F. A. Daniels, in passing judgment against John R. Jones and D. C. Barbour, two farmers who live near Clayton, in Johnston county, and who were in contempt of court by reason of having violated an in junction issued against them by the North Carolina Cotton Growers’ Co-op erative Association. The beginning of the litigation was in October, 1923, when suits were brought against John It. Jones and D. C. Bar bour and injunctions issued prohibiting them from selling or disposing of the cotton grown on their farms to any other parties than the Cotton Growers’ Co operative Association. Both of these men violated the injunctions and the as sociation took the matter up with Judge Daniels. At tlie hearings held in the contempt proceedings, Mr. Jones contended that lie had not produced or owned any cotton since the original injunction was served on liim, but that his farming had been conducted by his wife and family and in tile name of iiis wife. Mr. Barbour contended that he no longer prouced cot ton for himself h»t that lie worked for wages during the year 1924, and that tlie crop dih not belong to him but to the landowner. On the other hand," the Cotton Growers’ Co-operative ‘ Associa tion took the position that both the de fendants produced and owned cotton and that the alleged rental and working .ar rangements were set forth merely to evade the terms of the marketing agree ment nnd the orders of the court. At the conclusion of the hearing Judge Daniels found it to be a fact that each of the defendants had violated the in junctions and were in contempt of court. In his usual sympathetic but firm man ner, he said that he disliked very much t« be compelled to sentence, any mam to a term in jail but that the welfare ( jof, the community demanded, that all peq j»l»mbey jaws, and..tte.orders .oi.the court. AtternavmgympreßlSt u|w>rf'T>o¥ft of the defendants thO importance of this principle, he fined each of them SSO and the costs, and sentenced each man to serve fifteen days in jail with the proviso that the jail sentence would be suspend ed if the defendants paid the fines and costs within thirty days. LOUD DOUBLE-BREASTED VESTS AND PLAITED TROUSERS DUE Clothing Designers Sees Strong Ten dency to Return to “Peg Tops” of 20 Years Ago. Chicago. Jan. 9.—The Prince of Wales will continue to 'set the fashions for men in 1925 in the way of wearing apparel, G. F.

The young men who go somewhat to the extreme will wear plaited trousers, with a one-button sack coat and a double-breasted vest. Conservatism in colors will be forgot ten for a season or two, Mr. Serak pre dicted. and gray with here and there touches of London lavender will pre dominte.

Republicans Voted Agianst the Norris Bill. (By the Associated Press.) Washington. Jan. 9.—Having accepted the Underwood private operation bill as a substitute for the Norris government operation plan, tl»e Senate drove for ward today in a final effort to get the long pending question of the disposition of Muscle Shoals into conference with the House. The Underwood measure was approved over the Norris plan by a vote of 48 to 37, but with several substitutes for iit now pending leaders on both sides of the chamber had some doubt that this bill would constitute the final expression of the Senate on the subject. Senator Norais, Republican, of Nebras ka, charged before the vote was taken that the administration was using the Underwood bill solely as a vehicle for the defeat of his own government opera tion plan, and intended to drop it “like a hot brick” once his bill was defeated. On the vote, thirty Republicans in cluding most of the administration lead ers. supported the Underwood substitute. Whatever measure is finally passed by the Senate, and leadens expect final ac tion this week or early next week, it will have to go to conference for consid eration along with the House bill ac cepting Henry Ford's offer, which since the House action has been withdrawn.
