ALLEN FAVORS THE MEASURE The Minority Report Will Bring Matter to Floor of the Senate Where Battle Will Be Continued. Raleigh, March 7.—(A s )—The bill proposing an amendment to the con stitution to provide an eight-monhts’ school term was reported unfavorably by a vote of 12 to 5 by committee on education today. Senator J. M. Broughton filed notice of a minority report, so that the matter will be threshed out on the floor of the Senate some time before the end of this ses sion. Senator Broughton, sponsor of the measure, spoke briefly in its behalf, arguing that the bill would merely submit the question to a vote of the people. He thought this legislature should give the people of the state an opportunity to vote on this matter at the next general election. The bill in volved no expenditure of money at this hour. Senator Spalnhour, of Burke Coun ty, opposed the bill because he found that it was being supported by Sen ators and representatives of those counties which already have an eight months' term. State Superintendent A. T. Allen spoke briefly for the fav orable report on the measure, but (here was so much confusion in the senate chamber where the committee meeting was being held that he had to cut his speech short.

Raleigh, March 7.—Wr tli the rev enue bill back in the hot.,'- and all the senate amendments accepted, ad journment of the general assemoly now appears possible by Tuesday, but not before, since the revenue bi ! l cannot be passed on third rending until that, day. The general mainten ance appropriation bill is also back in the house, but the house refused to agree to the senate amendments increasing the total about .$55,000 a year, and a conference committee, composed of RCpresentaffices Tur lington, Towsend and Folger was named to attempt to work out an agreement in conference. Thus final action on thin measure is not likely until Monday or even Tuesday. Both the revenue and mainten ance appropriation bills are in hal rmcc tigw, utpl -fr-ls-tlnhrght that httr little difficulty will he ' >xpMemed in working out an agreement. Tile principal changes in the appropria tion bill were in the allowances fdr the two state hospitals for the in sane both in Raleigh and Morganton, and the allowance was increased $25,000 a year for each. The house also took exception to the increase granted the Smoky Mountains Na tional park commission, from $1,500 to $7,500 yearly, taking the stand j that now after approving the park appropriation, it should not be ea'l ed upon to do anything more. Although the revenue bill came back to the house much amended b.v the senate, these changes were al ready pretty generally known and went through without much opposi tion. The tax imposed on the pro duction of tobacco manufacturing companies, written into the bill in the house by Representative Town send, was removed by the senate, and the tax on manufacturers of bottled soft drinks wnx lowered somewhat. However, in order to make up for these losses of revenue, the corpora- 1 tiou incomes tax was increased from four to four and one-half per cent, while the franchise corporation tax was changed to include both capital and surplus. Heretofore it has hern, upon capital only, and not upon me surplus. These arc the major changes, though a number of other changes of, lesser importance were made. The senate spent most of its time Saturday working on local bills, and acted on no measures of outstanding state-wide interest. The house was in a belligerent moot! and tabled measures froe.y whenever there were any features in them that they did not like. Among those that were tossed upon the growing heap of dead measures was the bill imposing further restrictions upon those seeking to practice law in the statae, by making it more dif ficult to secure a license. The bill was ably defended by Representative Lee of Buncombe, its author, but the laymen opposed it more than the lawyer, and it went to its doyim. Another bill that would have permit ted county officers to chase law vio lators beyond the county line, was a'so tabled, on the grounds that peace officers would >•. chasing petty offenders from Xmteo to Murphy” if the law whs passed. Another measure that would have rejtenled the present regulations with regard to separate eontrncts for plumbing, heating and wiring tn public buildings, especially state buildings, was defeated by tabling, when Representative Squires of Caldwell pointed out the good fea tures of the law as it is now, saying that to repeal it would cost tne state thousands of dollars. A biß curtailing the powers of the highway commission, and requiring it or its contractors to give due notice and to pay damages where damages arc incurred, was passed with a roar of yes, as was the bill marking the minimum seutencc 30 days for those convicted of driving an automobile wblile 'lntoxicated. Another byi requiring that all coun ty officers be required to give bond was also adopted without opposition. The bill putting the control of ferries in the htyids of the highway com mission was likewise ddopted. THE TRJJBUNBIS \ PRINTS TODAY’S NEWS TODAY !
