The Secretary of Commerce, who boarded the President's train at Columbus was ordered to proceed under the Federal law which pro vides that licensed aviators shall not disturb public meetings. If he canitot bring to task fliers who dis turb such meetings, Mr. Hoover made tt plain he would recommend laws to prohibit similar occurrences to the next session of Congress.

Clerks, Pages And Other Em ployes Drew Pay Por Each Day Of Session Raleigh. June 12.? me i931 gen eral assembly will prooaoiy go down as the most expensive in the his tory of the state, since Its total cost is expected to exoeed $250,000 or some $50,000 more than was ap propriated for it. The cost of salaries and mileage alone already amounts to $215,272, according to figures obtained today from the office of State Auditor Baxter Durham. When the cost ol printing and various other expens es are added to this amount, the total will probably exceed $250,000 Hie cost of printing the various bills, the senate and hottie journal and the Public. Laws of 1929 amounted to approximately $20,000 Since the 1031 session ran for al most five months instead of twc months, it is expected that the printing costs will be materially larger, probably nearer $35,000 than $20,000. This does not lncllude the thousands of dollars spent In print ing reports of the various sorts in anticipation of the meeting of the general assembly, which can be easily estimated as $90,000 or more The total coat of the Senate in salaries and mileage was $76,622.50 while the total cost of salaries and mileage in the house was $138,650 In both houses, clerks making $6 a day received more for their services than did the members of the house and senate, who received $10 a day for 60 days only, or a total of $600 each for . the entire session. The clerks received their pay on the basis of $6 or $4 a day, seven days a week, for the entire time the general aesembly was in session. The most expensive department during the 1931 session was the en rolling department, which cost the state $28,984 for the 141 days it was in operation. This department was under the direction of Secretary oi State James A. Hartness, who em ployed the clerks. At one time 47 clerks were employed in this de partment and had to work in re lays because there was not enough typewriters to go around. The 15 comely and pulchritudi nous committee clerks employed by the senate which sometimes had to work as much as four or five hours a day, but generally not more than two or three hours at moat, were paid $9,560. Most of these were cut off before the session ended, how ever, though a resolution to cut them off weeks earlier was defeat ed in the senate by the. lobbying of the clerks themselves. The house, with its membership of 119, had only seven committee clerks, which cost $4,000. In the senate, the Rev. A. Corey, chief engrossing clerk, and his corps of good looking clerks received $9> 241 In salaries and $214.60 in travel ing expenses. In the house, Mrs. George Iseley, chief engrossing clerk and her assistants received $9,996 in salaries and $146.60 In mileage al (Continued on last page) BOTTLERS VOLUNTEER TO PAY $100,000 TAX Unwilling To Profit By Error In Enrolting Revenue Bill Passed By Legislature ATTORNEY-GENERAL TO TO DECIDE QUESTION Raleigh, June 12.? The North Carolina Bottlers' association today asked the state of North Carolina to allow the payment by bottlers of the state of something like $100,000 in increased taxes which the 1931 general assembly intended to im pose on them but which an error in enrolling of the revenue bill failed to do. J. Elmer Long, of Durham, former Lieutenant governor, today appear ed before Gov. O. Max Gardner and A. J. Maxwell, commissioner of reve nue, in behalf of the Bottlers' as sociation and Said the organized bottlers do not want in any way to profit by the $100,000 error in the revenue bill. Mr. Long said the bottlers hoped to find some way to pay the state the $100,000 which the revenue bill omitted. j If the state cannot take the tax, he said, the bottlers desire to pay the state the full amount which it was intended to levy on them for the biennium 1931-33 with the state holding it in abeyance until the 1933 general assembly meets and enacts a law whereby the state can take the money. Commissioner Maxwell said the _ matter was a question which Attor ney General D. G. Brummitt must decide. He asked Mr. Long to sub mit his proposition to him and he in turn will give it to Mr. Brum mitt. 0 GROWERS WARNED TO LEAVE LOW PRIMINGS Warehouse Association Says Tobacco Farmers Should Not Market AU of Crop OTHER LEAVES BETTER Kinston, June 14. ? The Eastern Carolina Warehouse association to day issued a warning to tobacco growers to leave on the Stalk bot tom primings from the 1931 crop. The asasclation believes they will not bring enough on the market "to pay the cost of hauling and curing." Leaving bottom primings on the stalk will mean that other leaves will be of better quality, it was stated. Farmers will get more by following the warehouseman's ad vice than by marketing the entire crop, it was declared. "If there is not a material reduction in quan tity of tobaoco this year lower prices are certain to prevail" ? prices even lower than those of 1930, which were call ad disastrous "Prosperity lies in smaller produc tion 'with Improved quality."
