SALARY OF N.C. JUDGES HOST OF THE SESSION OF HOUSE TODAY WAS DEVOTED TO SPAINHOUR BILL THE 1BTH AMENDMENT (Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 24. The Sen ate today engaged In '.a continuation of the argument on the measure In volving the ratification of the propos ed Sixteenth Amendment to the Con stitution of the United States relat ing to an income' tax. The early hour of the tlouse was devoted to the introduction of "bills -chiefly of local importance. The Capitol building is alive with promoters of Hoke county. Hundreds of them are here and will be heard this evening before the joint commit tee. Most of the session of .the House, after the expiration of the morning hour, was taken up in the discussion of the Spainhour bill and the substi tute, therefore, reported today by the Judiciary Committee. Wootenled the 'discussion for the substitute and Spainhour vigorously defended his -original bill. The measures differ vmost eccentrically in the following ipoints: Under the Spainhour bill, Superior 'Court Judges must hold as many as thirty-five weeks of court during the year to earn the , $3,500 now paid them. When they hold extra terms, $16.66 per day is provided for terms of less than one week of actual work. Spainhour declared that Judges could -earn 'as much as four thousand per . year at practice. Wooten defended . the substitute, which places Superior Court Judges on a flat salary of four thousand dol lars and Supreme Court Justices at five thousand dollars annually, with not a pro-trust law, then to report to the . House why prosecutions cf trusts have not been more active and numerous than the recent eleventh hour affair, brought before the police justice in Raleigh against the Stand ard Oil Company, etc. One of the most conservative and best posted legislators said to me to day that, in his opnion, Ewart's reso lution amounts to no more than, a piece of party buncombe, whereby its author sought to appropriate a little party capital' for the Republicans. The "cotton manufacturers will be coming in pretty soon on their regulai "biennial visit to appear before the joint legislative committee on Manu factures and Labor, Mr. Battle, of Wake, having introduced the bill "To regulate the hours' of labor in fac tories." Among the mam change tne labor people are fighting for Is the making of 60 hours a legal week's work, instead of 66 hours as now. The debate on the floor, after the com mittee makes its report, will, as usu al, be a protracted one. POSTAL BILL CAUSES STIR HITCHCOCK IS SEVERELY CRITI CISED ON ACCOUNT OF HIS POSTAL POLICY t , :. North Carolina Press Association. Winston-Salem, N. C.,f Jan. 25. The two-days' mid-winter session of the North Carolina Press v Association opened here yesterday with an 'ad dress of welcome by ex-Judge George P. Pell, a former newspaper man. The response was by Archibald? Johnson, of Charity and Children, of Thomas ville. Other addresses were made by Hon. A. .H. Eller, of this city, and Mr. Fagg, of the National Magazine. The opening session closed with an address by President M., L. Shipman. Last night an informal smoker was given the editors by the Board of Trade. The feature , was an address by Hon. Locke Craig, of Asheville, who is slated for Governor of North Carolina two yaars hence. Notice was given yesterday after noon cbft the excursion to Charles ton, S. C, planned for the editors on Thursday, had been abandoned upon advice from the superintendent pf the new Southbound Railroad that the road bed between ' Whitney and Wadesboro was not in condition to operate a trainVver it at this time. one hundred dollars per .full week, or The Association adjourned after a $16.66 per day, for terms of less than one full , week' for judges holding spe cial terms to be paid by each county In which such extra eourt is held and not by the State, as at present.' ' Woodson, of Cleveland, attacked both bills and accentuated the aSSer fnn that TnaTIV rt t'ha lndvas nnnl A nnf earn at practicing law half of the , amount now paid them by the State. After a protracted and warm de bate both of the Judges salary bills were recommitted back to the com mittee to await further desirable and necessary information not yet avail able. The motion was carried by. a close division. - Two snecial orders are st fnr Wort. nesday in the Senate, which promise to provoke considerable discussion. One of these is the bill to ratify and confirm the incorporation of thy Le noir and Blowing Rock Turnpike Com: rany. ' . . . . j The other is the bill to increase' the salary of the Governor from four : thousand to six thousand i dollars per annum the Increase to apply to Gov pernors to be elected in the future, of course, because the law forbids the increase of salary of a constitutional officer during his term of service. This . bill vwill probably pass . the Senate as did -a similar bill during rthe early days, of the last Legisla ture before Mr: Kitchin had been sworn into office, but it was defeated in the ' House, partly?' because some doubted the wisdom of increasing the -salary after a new; Governor ha,d been elected, although he had not yet jle gun to serve his term. That . objec tion cannot be raised against the present bill; and from all I can learn, its chances of passage In the House this time are good. - There- Is no question 'that the bill ought to be enacted, for the "high cost of living" Is felt as sensibly and acutely at the Executive Mansioh as the humblest of homes, and six thou sand per year now; will hardly go as far as .four thousand did a few years ago in meeting expenses. There are. varying views among leg i slators of the House resolution intro duced yesterday by i Representative Ewart (Rep.), of Henderson county, calling' for the appointment of a v - f louse committee to . investigate the possible efficacy of the present anti trust law and report to the House its findings at the present session. That tf the so-called "Pink Tea" 'statu'e ii business session today. GENERAL NEWS ITEMS Newark, N. J., Jan 24 Mrs. Caro line B.

Pesident Taft has honored Miss Lilla Ormond, the Boston contralto, with a special request that she sing ,at the White House on March 10th. f Miss Ormond has recently given ten concerts in the CARRIES $257,000,000 Washington, D. C, Jan. 25. The House passed the Postoffice Appro priation bill carrying about ' $257,000, 000 yesterday afternoon with no votes in the negative. The ' postoffice committee of the House, the Postmaster-General and "others higher up," including by in ference the President of the .United States, came in for another scoring at the hands of members of the House during the consideration of the bill. , x . The debate reached its height when Representative Sisson, of Mississippi, declared with vigor: . "The mail service . all over the United States is in a h 1 of av fix to use a strong expression. And this House should fix the responsibility where it belongs. Some say it is the committee, some say it is the Depart ment and some say it is the Presi dent. The Department has declined to spend the money appropriated for additional rural free delivery routes, Kand are going to turn back a surplus of $1,700,000 from this service." As soon as the rural free delivery service paragraph was reached in the bill, amendments to increase the pay of the rural carriers from $900 a year all the way up to $1,200 were offered. Representative Bartlett, of Georgia, led the fusilate of criticism by-offer ing an amendment to give- the car riers $1,000 a year. Representative Austin, of Tennes see, also scored the postal committee. He thought the country ought 'to know where the responsibility lay. Mr. Byrnes, of Tennessee, blamed the -Postoffice Department and "men higher up" for conditions in the postal service. . Mr. Edwards, of Georgia, asserted that the present administration was no friend of the rural service. Mr. Adamson, of Georgia declared the rural carriers were actually being robbed by the government. Chairman Weeks declared that the reason the rural service had not been extended during the past year was on account of the precarious condi tion of .the Treasury. He added, how ever, tnat " tne committee was now willing to grant carriers the $100 in-. crease in salary. ' ' . i ne xiouse men passed with a whoop ah amendment providing that after July 1, 1911, the carriers should receive a salary not exceeding $1,000 a year.; ' ' "Please do not open until Christ mas," will be permitted on mail mat ter, in the future, if the action, of the House is sustained. A provision was approved allowing these extra words Y to be written on mail packages. The provision is for the purpose of relieving the congestion of the mails at Christmas time.

A permanent tariff board of five members to inves tigate all questions for the benefit of Congress is provided for in a bill un- animously agreed upon by the House Committee on Ways and Means.

The bill, it is said, will 'be taken up next Monday under suspen sion of the rules and the WJiite House believes it will pass. Further, it be lieves the bill also will pass the Senate, although Senator Bailey pub licly intimated his intention to op pose It. It is understood that ' the - present members, Chairman Henry C.
