As a result a test ease was brought in the Supreme court, and is still pending th re. However, in order to eliminate all doubt, the present new or substitute bi’l was drawn' by Mr. Masslich. with the full approval of the com missioner of the act and all interest ed in it, so that there might be no further delay in the issuance of the bonds. For while the bond issue w.is approved last November at the gen eral election, the commission created to administer the act has been un-' able to function and make loans as provided, Ix-cnuse no bonds could be issued under it. Now, however, tt x ls expected Hint the bond enn be issued immediately, so that the commission will not have Ito wait for the supreme eourt de cision. The substitute bill is meeting with no opposition, since it is in reality merely an “enabling act” thnt clears up certain imperfections in the veterans' loan act. See Extra Session. Raleigh. N.

POUNDS | So the group that more \ districts is pretty well satisfied. But this is not all. Even the group that, wanted ail the judges to be ! j emergency judges, pending the enact ■! ment of n eoustutional amendment ! that would permit an increase in the I i number of superior court judges, wit'D ll out an increase in the number of so | licitoro. is satisfied. For with the '! judicial bill was introduced a comphn i ion measure that would authorize the i changing of the constitution, so that • the number of judges or solicitors in i the slate coiild be increased or de - creased at will by the general assem bly. At present this cannot be done > since the constitution provides lhat there must be one judge and one so licitor for each judicial district. But - if this amendment is adopted, t’ite gen- I eral assembly ratty create two judges i in one district, if necessary, or have but one solicitor for several districts. iTtliat is found advisable. So it is that those who saw a real need for enlarging tile judiciary of the state—aiid there is a real need for it—are greatly encouraged at the outlook, confident that the senate will quickly ratify the substitute bill sent j over by the house. But that will not end the matter, by any means, since as soon as thes-e bill are ratified by bof.i honses, the general assembly must undertake the task of redistrieting the state and of making up'the terms of court for the various districts and counties. And that is a large task to undertake in the last two weeks of the session. The bill now pending that the dis tricts shall ho in two divisions, the eastern and western, with twelve dis tricts in each division. Now, ull these districts must be worked out to the satisfaction of ail concerned—and there comes the rub. Greensboro and Guilford want a district all t'aeir own, as do those from Charlotte and Meck lenburg. Winston-Salem’ and Forsyth, to say nothing of many others. But it will all be worked out some way. and the state will have more courts. | CHARLOTTE GETS BRANCH BANK Washington, Feb. 25.—OP)—Es tablishment of a branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Rich mond at Charlotte, N.

Atlanta, Gn„ Feb. 25.—(INS) — Wardens of county convict camps 1 have been warned by (he state prison I commission to redouble their preeau i tions watching prisoners, since Spring jis in the air. The cal of the open in ' Springtime is as hard for a convict to resist, as it is for a school boy, the commission records indicate. The largest number of eseai>es from ! prison camps occur in April nml the I second largest in October, when the leaves begin to fall, according to V. L. i Stanley, secretary of the prison oom ! mission. | "During the winter the average number of escapes from prison camps !is small,” Mr. Stanley said. “Let a tew green leaves come out and a j prisoner contemplating escape will make a dash for freedom. He knows he can hide in the woods and subsist on foliage and an occasional fish until “During harvest time in October, 1 a fugitive can find even better ‘pick ings.’ but the urge to make a dash for freedom is never so strong as in early Spring.'

He also explained the man ner in which the $12,000,000 would be nl'.nted to the various counties. | So the bill was approved.

His Action Means That No Farm Relief Legislation Will Be Possible at Pres ent Session of Congress, GIVES REASONS FOR HIS ACTION The Chief Executive Says the Bill Is Not All Right Because It Would Not Benefit the Farmer. Washington, Feb. 25. — OP)—Pres ident Coolidge today vetoes the Mc- Xary-Haugen farm relief bill. The veto virtually killed all hope for farm legislation at this session, both advocates and opponents of the bill having conceded that it will be impossible to muster the two-thirds majority in Congress necessary to override the President's disapproval. In both the Senate amt House the margin by which the bill was passed was small. The President said in special mes sage to the Senate that he had de clined to approve the bil because “the measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what lias been universarry considered a pro gram of safe farming.” "The chief objection to the bill is that it would not benefit the farmer" the President continued. “Whatever may be the temporary influence of arbitrary interference, no one can deny that in the long run prices will be governed by the law of supply and demand. To expect to increuse prices and then to maintain them on a higher level by menus of a plan which must of necessity increase pro duction, while decreasing consump tion, is to fly in the face of an economic law us well established us any law of nature." “Experience shows that high prices in any given year mean greater acre age in the uext year." “The bill singles out a few products, chiefly sectional,” the President said, ■‘and proposes the raise the prices of those regardless of the fact that thou sands of other farmers would be dl- I rectly penalized.” i Mr. Coolidge declared that the hill j “It gives the proposed Federal 1 board almost unlimited authority to j fix prices on the designated commod>- itics,” he said. "Nothing is more cer tain thau such price fixing would up set the normal exchange relationship existing in the open market, and it would finally have to be extended to cover a multiude of other goods and commodities. Government price fixing when once started, has no justice and no end.” Will Not Fight Veto. Washington, Feb. 25.—t/P)—Chair man McNary, of the senate agriculture committee, said he would make no ef fort to override President Coolidge’s veto of the farm relief bill. STATE-WIDE GAME LAW NOW FINALLY REALITY For Years Efforts Had Been Made To Get Passage of Such a Ijtw. Tribune Bureau. ' Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh. Feb. 25.—With the pas- j sage of the Sutton state-wide game | bill on its final reading yesterday by ! the Senate with nil overwhelming vote j following enactment by the House, a battle which has been led almost since “the memory of man runneth not to> the contrary" on the part of sports men and conservationists has been won and the State will new set out a program to bring back the lost val ue of her wild life. Efforts to delay and amend the House bill on the floor of the Senate were vigorously opposed by Senator W. L. Long of Roanoke Rapids, who has led in numerous previous occas ! ions for a state-wide bill, but which were repeatedly defeated. Virtually all details of the bill ns offered by Representative Fred I. Sutton of Lenoir were included in the measure as finally adopted by both houses, one of the chief changes being the classification of the fox as a pred atory animal and allowing a continu ous open season for the animal. The bill is made effective June 1, so as not to interfere with any of this year’s hunting season, and the next move toward bringing its terms into operation is expected from the Gov ernor after he has hud time to con sider the personnel of a game com mission, which will in turn name a State game warden for the enforce ment of its terms.
