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. ?

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.
