it's THE TRYON NEWS, TRYpfo, N. C. IMFR0VED PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATURE SENATE REFERS QUESTION OF - REPEALING PRIMARV LAW TO REFERENDUM VOTE. PENSIONS PAID ONCE A YEAR Before Adjoui-nment the House Voted to Table Bill Increasing Salaries of State Officers and Employes .: Raleiffh. ' Aug. 24,-Senator Gray, of Forsyth, when the vote stood 21 to 21, broke the tie tonight that prevented the pas sage of a bill making divorce easier in North Carolina. The measure was designed to reduce the numbers of years of separation necessary for' di vorce from 10 to seven. The house killed the salary bills during the night session and voted for Joint resolution to adjourn the special cession sine die Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. The senate, by a vote of 38 to 6, passed the revenue act, which now becomes law, fulfilling the pledge of the democratic legislature to uphold the revaluation act. The bill to raise the legal rate of interest in North Carolina was report ed unfavorably and the senate has voted to put the question of repealing the state-wide primary law to a refer-; endum vote. Suffragists . are charging that the ontis are now busy at the task of poll ing the members of the regular ses sion on the speakership. They are said to be advocating Representative Greer. It is also understood that the suffragists are equally as lively in their arguments that he should not be elected speaker and it is hinted that this question may be an "issue" on 'which the women, if they are al lowed to vote this fall will cast their ballots for members of the legislature. Aug.' 25. The senate adopted the measure providing the machinery for the registration and voting of women upon the ratification of the nineteenth amendment, passed the bill fixing the Intrastate passenger rates in North Carolina at three cents per mile. A bill passed in the house provides that pensions of Confederate' veter ans shall-be paid in December for the ensuing year instead of twice a year as under the provisions of a bill enact ed at the 1919 session. The bill now .goes to the upper house for coisidera tiori. Aug. 26. After defeating the Scales bill providing for the registration and voting of women in North Carolina under provisions of the- nineteenth amendment to the constitution by a vote of 49 to 38, the house upon mo tion of Representative Doughton re considered and nassed the measure upon its third reading. The vote was 2 to 28. The bill was immediately sent to the senate for concurrence in the house amendment which restricts -the non-payment of poll taxes to 1920 and provides that the act shall be in foroe from and after legal ratification of the federal amendment and after its legality has been contested and settled. Representative Doughton made it plain that in urging the passage of the Scales bill the opponents of women suffrage were not making any conces sion and that in the event certifica tion of the amendment was held up the measure would he 'non-operative. While Representative Bryant, of Durham, was urging the passage of Message to The Legislature Governor Eiekett sent to the legis Jature a special message on road-. He said: t . . "This ' general assembly at its reg ular session created a state highway commission. As I have repeatedly said, the blunder that we have made in North Carolina is not that 'we have ' failea to build good roads, but that we have been criminally negligent in keeping them up. I have a profound convic tion that it would be an economic crime for North Carolina to issue bonds or to permit the counties to is sue bonds to .. build ,an more roads in this state until we have devised and thoroughly , tested out an adequate system of maintenance. "Therefore, I recommend that this general assembly authorize the state highway commission to test out on a number of roads, selected by the com mission, the best systems of mainten ance now in force in any of the states in the union and submit the result of their experience to the general assem bly of 1921. It is simply throwing away money to build roads of any type until we provide and enforce a system of maintenance ' that will in sure the roads from going to pieces." OF G. 5. IE TERANS HOUSTON PREPARING TO TURN THE CITY INTO ONE GREAT s '. . . HOSPITABLE HOTEL VETERANS NEED NO HOUSING Members of Two Allied Organization With Their Families and Friends Will Swell the Visiting Tide Manninc Saye Women Can Vote "While there ?wbuld be no objection to the North-Carolina legislature pass ing laws providing for omen to vote under the Susan B. Anthony amend ment," Attorney General James S. Manning said, "It is not at all neces sary. - "The amendment to the constitu tion in this instance, which, in reality, is but an amendment to the fifteenth amendment, automatically changes the constitution of North Carolina. The fifteenth amendment changed it by striking out the word "white" be fore "males." The. Anthony amend ment will strike out the word "males and franchise will be extended to all "persons' regardless of sex. "The status of a woman under the amendment is the same as the status of a man reaching his majority. All she will have to do will be to present herself for registration. She will be required to pay no poll tax this year because she has, in essence, reached her "majority" as far as voting is con cerned, since the time for listing Houston, Texas. With the 1920 re union of Confederate veterans only a few weeks off, Houston is preparing to turn itself into one great hospi table hotel for the accommodation of the 75,000 visitors expected here dur ing the week of October 5 to 8. The veterans themselves need no housing in the city. Soldiers to the end, they will live in tents and mess at the call of the bugle. A great tent city is to be erected in one of the city's wooded parks for them. But the othertvisitors, who may out number the veterans six to one, must be accomodated, so a house to house canvass of all Houston and its su berbs is being made and pledges taken for so many beds and so many places at table. These other visitors will include not only the families of the veterans,! out tne memoers or two allied organ izations, and their families and friends, for this is a triple reunion; the thirtieth for the United Confed erate Veterans, the twenty-fifth, for the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and the twenty-first annual conven tion of the Confederate Southern Me morial Association.
