Outlook Is For Just One
Veto After Another Now
Immigration anil Taxation Measures Passed l?y Insurpent
Democratic Coalition Displeasing to President Imt Ques
tion Is Whether Has Not Waited too Long Say So
ny DAVID LAWRENCE
(Copyrifht. 1)24. By Th# Airinct)
Washington, May 7.?Nothing but vetoes lie ahead. Presi
dent Coolidge has let it be known that certain bills pending in
Congress do not meet with his approval and th only inference
that now can be drawn is that he will veto most of them.
The President sent for Sena-|
tors Lodge, Borah and Smoot
today. He talked over withj
them the whole legislative pro
gram and the question of ad
journment.
The Democrats have in the last ?
24 hours indicated a change of front
?they no longer feel that Congress!
should be terminated before the po
litical conventions. Their opportun
ities for attack and publicity and
continued investigation would be
rampered, they feel, by falling in
line with the Republican plan of ad
journment. Also there are too many
bills in which the Insurgent Repub
licans and the Democrats have a
uuited interest and which the regu
lar Republicans would like to lose lu
the shuffle.
The President Is plainly dissatis
fied with the tax bill in its present
shape. He hopes for a change in J
conference and will not announce an !
intention to veto the bill in advance1
of consideration of its merits after
it comes to him. But so many of
the features of the bill are obnox-1
ious to big business, particularly j
that which makes income tax re
turns open to public Inspection that
a veto is rapidly becoming probable.
When word, however, reaches the|
Senate that the tacking on of mis-j
chievous provisions may bring a ve
to, the chances are they will be j
eliminated as the Senate collective-]
ly or individually would not take the
responsibility for defeating tax revl-j
sion. Some Republicans think it
would not be a bad idea to carry the
issue to the country in the coming
campaign, pointing out that the Mel
lon plan is popular and that the
Democrats and Insurgents would be
held to accountability for blocking ?
the plan.
Mr. Coolidge is going to veto thej
immigration bill if it comes to him
in its present form. He has taken j
pains in the last 24 hours to explain1
that he was misinterpreted a week
ago when he announced he favored j
exclusion of the Japanese. The Jap
anese themselves do not object to
the principle of exclusion for they j
are beginning to recognize that it 1s!
an economic question in the United
States and. that .every nation has a
right to exclude labor likely to be j
competitive with its own. But the
Japanese insist that the method of
accomplishing exclusion Is an of
fense to them. Secretary Hughes)
favors agreement by treaty. So dots,
the President. Mr. Coolidge is try
ing to secure a modification. If he;
fails he will be compelled to veto J
the measure and ask for the inser-:
tlon of a clause delaying the enforce-1
ment of the act so far as the Japan
ese are concerned until a year or'
more has been given for negotiation :
and ratification of a special treaty
with Japan.
Mr. Coolldge's conferences with
Senate leaders to point out the per
ils of the legislative situation have
begun none too soon. The Repub
lican leadership has lost control of
the Senate and the exercise of the|
veto power alone will at this time
affect the insurgent Republican alli
ance with the Democrats on specific j
Issues. ?
USE STOLEN HOUSE

Saginaw, Mich., May 8.?Robbers
today used a stolen horse to drag
from the Savings Bank at Harrison

tained between $r>,000 and $7,000 In
cash and about $28,000 in liberty
bonds.

bow v?. Dixie reverted By
Court of Appeals
Greensboro, May 8.?Word lias
been received here that the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals has
reversed Judge Bond's decision in
Benbow vs. The Dixie.
It will be remembered that the;
officers and directors of the Dixie'
Fire Insurance Company entered In-1
to a contract with the Hartford Fir*?;
Insurance Company whereby 90 per.
cent of the Dixie's business was auto
matically reinsured in the Hartford.'
and the latter company was under a
live-year contract with renewal prlv-'
lieges, practically placed in entire I
control of the Dixie company and its'
underwriting.
C. O. Robinson and others of Eliz
abeth City, wholwere stockholders in',
J the Dixie, objected to this contract
and insisted that it was not binding ;
upon the Dixie company unless rat-j
Ifled by the stockholders. Judge Bon 1?
handed down a decision upholding'
the acts of the Dixie officers and |
directors, and holding that the con-|
tract between the Hartford and the.
Dixie was a valid, binding agree-1
ment that should be enforced. The:
decision of the Circuit Court of Ap-I
peals reverses this Judgment and !
I holds favor of the contentions of,

BAILEY SPEAKS
HERE TO-NIGHT
Buleigh ('.undulate for Gover
nor May Fire Big Bertha of
His Campaign for First
Time Tonight.
Josiah William Bailey, candidate'
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor, makes his first political '
speech before an Elizabeth City au
dience Thursday night in the court-'
house and the indications point to aj
packed house. j
"1 haven't fired the big gun of,
my campaign yet," Mr. Hailey is |
quoted by P. G. Sawyer, ardent,
Hailey man. as saying the other'
day. Mr. Sawyer then noes on to
say that Mr. Hailey told him that if *
the atmosphere was Just right he
might pull the trigger on his blg!
bertha right here at Elizabeth City. I
There Is a prospect, then, of fire
works of a spectacular variety at the'
courthouse Thursday night. Judging
by some of the red hot speeches Mr.!
llailey has been making in other;
parts of the State.
Mr. Hailey is making a campaign
on a platform of tax reduction for'
the small farmer and home owner,:
with the proposal to offset the loss
of revenue that this would involve,
by repealing the law for exemption
of taxation on foreign stocks. Ho
claims that his program, if carried i
out. would give back to th<> land-'
owner* a million and a half dollars,
and raise the franchise tax on rail
roads and other corporations. Mr.
Hailey also claims that the people
of the State are paying millions of
dollars tribute to the railroads in
the form of excessive freight rates,
and these as Governor of North Car
olina he will seek a way to reduce
to a more equitable basis.
Needless to say, a speech on these
lines Is bound to strike a popular
chord these days and supporters of
Mr. Hailey are sure that their can
didate will win lots of votes here
Thursday night. |
It may be only a coincidence but
Colonel I. M. Meek ins, nepiibllcnn j
nominee for Governor, arrived here
Thursday ahead of Mr. Hailey. Mr.!
Hailey, in fact, did not get in until!
the arrival of the afternoon train
from Raleigh, while the Colonel wat? I
shakinc hands with friends down
town Thursday morning.

A ladles committee consisting of Miss
Lula White and Miss Sallle Perry
has also been appointed and was
canvassing the millineries.
The expense of the institute Is be
ing defrayed by the merchants on/
the basis of the number of clerks in
their employ. At a meeting of mer
chants held in Chamber of Com
merce headquarters Thursday morn
ing subscriptions ran from %2 to |40
and a total of $152 was subscribed
on the spot.
There are three grades of Insti

entailing an expense of $500, anoth
er $400. and a third t'l00. Jt is

class and that the full $500 will
have been subscribed when the final
