LAI IKING ORGY
FLAILED 111 SPEECH
BY SEN. ROBINSON
Says a Remedy For All
Social and Political His
Cannot Be Found in the
New Statute.
SPEAKS TODAY AT
DUKE UNIVERSITY
“Bloc System” Blamed For
Almost Total Lack of
Public Leaders of Na
tional Influence.
Durham, .Tuna !).—GP)—The “orgy”
of law making that is swapping Amer
ica piling up untold “thousands of
useless statutes" wßh flailed by .Sena
tor Joseph T. liobinson, of Arkansas,
in an address today at the commence
ment exercises of Duke University.
The Democratic minority leader of
•:iic Senate declared that a common
fallacy prevails that for evsry social
and political ill which metal flesh
is heir to, a complete remedy may be
found in some new statute.
Sixteen thousand written enact
ments of diverse subject matter exist
already for the regulation of the av
erage man’s conduct, he added.
“Laws which confer favors are al
ways at the expense of the general
public. Such laws give birth to groups
and encourage them to claim special
consideration on the ground that it
has been extended to others.”
He branded the American protec
tive tariff policy ns the “natural par
ent of government by class interests”,
and said that it was the most ruinous
policy ever advanced from the stand
point of the masses.
The speaker declared the "blocays
tem" ns partly responsible for the al
most total lack of public leaders of
national influence. The group con
flicts in Washington were indicated
ns responsible, and inasmuch os it
“follows that leadership is n large
part, it is not national in character.”
"The country needs and must have
a restatement of political philosophy.
Public opinion is divided between
Jefferson and Hamilton. The first
challenged the right of organized cap
ital to control the government. Vbe
second championed the cause of the
thrifty, the prosperous and sneceaa
fnl." ' ■
The Arkansas leader also deplored
to the students “the threatened break
down of long established standards of
morality."
“Undoubtedly radical changes have
occurred in the social system of the 1
United States resulting in confused
conceptions of private responsibility
and of public duty,” he said.
NO DOUBT AT ALL,
ABOUT OVERMAN VICTORY
With Three-Fourths of Vote Reported
He Has Majority of 40,000.
lialeigh, June 0-14>>—A11 doubt as
to whether Lee S. Overman had been
renominated on the Democratic ticket
for the U. S. Senate appeared to have
been removed today. With what is
believed to be approximately three
fourths of the vote reported, Mr. Ov
erman was leading his opponent Rob
ert R. Reynolds by close to 40.000
votes. If the vote is as heavy as that
of (he primary of 1024. Reynolds
would have to carry all but 2,000 of
the outstanding votes estimated at
46,000, in order to win.
Fifty-nine complete counties and
partial unofficial returns from 21
others give: Overman 114,244 nnd
Reynolds 75.076. Os the complete
counties the incumbent carried 48
while Mr. Reynolds obtained majori
ties in 16.
Congressmen A. L. Bulwinkle and
Zebulon Weaver appeared to have
safely won renomination in the ninth
and tenth districts respectively.
Judge A. M. Stack lias secured re
nomioation to the Superior Court
bench in the thirteenth.

INCREASED INSURANCE
| RATES ARE JUSTIFIED
I Insurance Commissioner Wade Makes
> j Formal Announcement.
Tribune Bureau,
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, June 9—lncreased fire in
surance rates, as promulgated by the
■ Southeastern Underwriters nssicia
tion for North Carolina, are justi
fied by conditions erieting in the
> staate and will be allowed without
. protest, so far as the stale is con
cerned, Stacy W. Wade, State In
, Nuronee Commissioner declares in a
formal announcement. The announce
ment ia concurred in by Frank Nash,
Assistant Attorney General.
The findings contained in the an
nouncement result from the facts
furnished the Insurance Depart
ment before nnd during the hearing
of last Wednesday on the question
of the increased rates, at which
Secretary Raine of the Underwriters
association, along with various other
insurance agents nnd officers of
local companies presented the case
for the Increase, and officers and
members of the Raleigh Merchants
Association, wfith tlu*r at.)u-ne.v.
General Albert L. Cox, appeared as
Protestants.
Proof was furnished by the Under
writers. the announcement says, that
fire losses ami expenses of doing
business in North Carolina eost
fire underwriters $101.60 for each
SIOO received and that the mer
cantile risks, upon which the 10
per oen cent, increase has been ap
plied, represented an actual loss of
10 per cent.
The only other increase put into
effect is one 26 per cent, on special
hazards. Reduction of Fee hazards
will be met promptly with reduction
far more sweeping tahn the increase
in rates just promulgated, the an
nouncement says further. For in-!
stance, the increase does not apply
to mercantile establishments and
fireproof buildings where proper
sprinkling systems are installed. j
”The rate for such unprotected
property is about 75 cents in certain I
towns." the anouneement gives as an
example. Ten per cent added would
make it 82 and one half, -but, to in-1
stal a proper spriukler system would
entitle them to a rate of about 26
3* cents and there would be no
step-up on this rate in consequence
of the 10 per cent, rata increase, in !
■both instances, that is. the 10 per
cent, increase on mercantile estab-.
lishments and the 26 per pent, in
crease oh special hazards would tend
to bring about a better system of
fire protection both for the benefit of
the property owners nnd te compnn-
I ies and were not paying their proper
proportion of the insurance post in
the State of North Carolina.
“After deliberated consideration of
the matter in all its aspects, wo have
eome to the conclusion that the in
creased rates, as promulgated by the
Association,are justified by condi
tions existing in the State of North
Carolina.” 1

Raleigh. June 8. —Tile survey of
Women in Industry in North Caro
lina will be undertaken about July
1. and will include some 17.000 peo- i
pie from all the representatives in
dustries in the State, it was an- ,
nounced today by tile Child Welfare
Commission, under whone direction
the work is to be don. 'The Com- j
m vision is composed of Mrs. Kate ,
Burr Johnson, chairman, A. T. Al- ,
Jen, Stnte Superintendent of Pub- ,
lie Instruction and Dr. G. M. Coop- i
er, of the State Board of Health.
Mins Elizabeth Kelly will be asso
ciated with Mr. E. F. Carter, secre
tary of the commission, making the
survey, and will be in active charge
of the field work, according to nn
announcement by Mrs. Johnson to
day.
Miss Kelly is well fitted to under- ,
take this work, ns she has been asso- .
ciated with the Stnte Department of ,
Public Instruction for many years. |
first ns a school teacher, later as a |
county supervisor in Johnson coun
ty and from 1017 until 1023 she was
State Commissioner of Illiteracy* in
the Department of Education. Since
1023 she has been doing educational
field work for the tobacco co-opera
tive associations. She has been asked
to come to Raleigh as soon as pos
sible so that the survey may be got
ten under way at once.
Although the survey will not in
clude as many cities as had been
originally planned, it will neverthe
less be equally as representative as
if it took in the original number, it
1h said. The survey of women en
gaged in the Textile industry will be
made chiefly in Gastonia. Charlotte
and Greensboro according to the
tentative plans of the commission
tlow. The survey in the Tobacco in
dustry will largely be confined to
Durham and Winston-Salem. Condi
tions under which women are em-1
ployed in laundries wil l be made in
about 120 of the large cities of the
State.
The survey of women employed in
stores as saleswomen will be con
ducted for the most part in Ashe
ville, High Point, Raleigh. Golds
boro and Wilmington, while condi
tions under which they are employed
in hotels and restaurants will be
studied in some 20 of the larger
cities. It is planned to make a study
of conditions in some 450 farm
homes in the farm survey, to be
scattered over three districts, the
mountain district in the west, the
Piedmont section and the coastal
plain section. In addition about 4.-
000 family studies will be made
embracing ns many different voca
tions as possible.
Governor A. W. McLean is much
interested in the survey and has de- j
voted much of his time in helping the
commission work out the plans. As
soon as lie gives the .final approval
to the plans, actual work will be
begun. Heaty cooperation on the
part of the merchants in the State
have been pledged to Governor Mc-
Lean in the survey in their recent
State Convention in Goldsboro The
survey is expected to prove of much
economic value in that it will afford
a statistical basis upon which to
build in the improvement of condi
tions in all industries in the em
ployment of women.

Geneva. June 9.—GW—The crowd
' which packed the League of Nations
council chamber today in the hope of

Just before adjournment of the

demands of Spain and Brazil for per
manent seats nnd the alleged tactics
of those two countries aimed at in
timidating the council to favorable
action on their demands.

at Berne, who were present, made no
move, but Viscount Ishii caused a stir

THE COTTON MARKET
Renewed Covering in the July Posi
tion Featured Opening Today.
New York. June i).—(A s )—Renewed
covering by both speculative and
trade shorts in the July position fea
tured the opening of the cotton mar
ket today. Much of the demand wns
attributed to priee fixing for the
trade. Sellers found encouragement
in relatively easy Liverpool cables,
the recent improvement in southern
weather conditions and talk of in
creased mill curtailment and the mar
ket held steady in Hie early trading.
Prices at the opening were 1 point
lower to 1 point higher except for
