Straight Dope From the State Capital By M. L. 3HIPMAN Special News Correspondent ' Raleigh. N. C.. Feb. 18, 1925. The fight over redisricting the State, discussion of the "evolu tion" bar measure, the forward march along legislative paths of the $20,000,000 bond issue for roads bill, together with a com panion measure to increase the gasoline tax from three to four cents a gallon, decision of the House committee not to recom mend the establishment of a state constabulary, and various other matters of more or less impor tance occupied the time of the General Assembly during the past week. The road bond measure passed in the Senate on all readings. A companion measure introduced by Sams of Forsythe, who also introduced the bond bill, provides for the revision of the regula tions having to do with control of the highway fund for an in crease in the gasoline tax -*rom three to four cents to finance the new road bond issue. Passage of similar measures in the House is expected without any difficulty, thus carrying out Governor Mc Lean's plans in this particular without any change. "Evolution" was discussed at length before committee last week and finally a vote revealed that the education committee was deadlocked 16 to 16. Represen tative "Tobe" Connor stepped into the breach with a negative vote, he being chairman of the committee. The bill was thus sent back to the House with an unfavorable report. Its propo nents, who aver that evolution should be taboo in the schools of North Carolina entered aminority report and the measure will have a special hearing on this report tbmorrow (Tuesdav) night at eight o'clock, when the subject will be up on the floor of the House. * Redisricting the State was provided for in a measure finally passed by the House creating four additional judicial districts with judges and solicitors. The bill when first introduced provid ed for seven new districts but was killed by the House on its second reading. Representative "Pete" Murphy of Rowan suc ceeded in getting a motion to re consider the vote by which the original bill failed on second reading adopted, When the bill again came up in the House it was amended to proviae four in stead of seven additional districts and passed by a safe majority. Chief among the arguments pre sented against it was that of economy. It being averred that the extra districts will increase the cost of the> State government by more than $50,000 a year. Its proponents argued that the con dition of the dockets in various counties made an increase a nec essity. The proposal to establish a State constabulary was made by Representative Wade who intro duced a bill in line with recom mendations of the social commit tee which investigated this sub ject. An unfavorable report on the hill was returned but it will be up^ again on a minority report. However the House does not ap pear to think of the proposition and wilfrnore than likely sustain the majority report. A sales tax, independent of the revenue bill was sent up in the "House by Representative Madi son, of Jackson, on Saturd y who would tax cigars, cigarettes, candies, cosmetics, and other minor purchases. The bill pro viding, what are commonly term ed "nuisance" taxes, went to the finance committee. It is well named in the opinion of a for-, midable group of legislators and lers. Senate passed a bill which tors. It is predicted this bill will have a hard road in* the House which will probably show greater consideration for the "ninety and nine/' Financial legislation is expect ed to occupy the center of the stage during the coming wpek. The revenue bill it was indicat !ecl, will provide for a fifty per cent increase in the income tax rates, but other changes in the bill from the report of the State Board of assessments have not been made public. The budget report for the next biennial ' per I iod containing the appropriations for departments and institutions, is also expected to be presented by the appropriation committee of the House which has had it, for some time.

' ^ Plans of the Atlantic Coast Line and the1 Louisville & Nashville rail ways to open the Eastern Kentucky coal mines to supply the fuel needs of the Southeast are well under way. The Kentucky mines produce 30,. 000,000 tons annually. It is expect, ed Xhat they can produce as much as 80,000,000 tons, or enough to supply most of the cdTlsumption 'in the Southeast.^ According to those in touch with the situation a rail link between this district and the Southeast would be a blow, not only to the mines now furnihing coal to that section but to railroads handling coal for it. As a result of the shift of the cot ton mills and other Industries from the North to the South the demand for power fuel has constantly in creased during the past few years. The Kentucky mines have been kept from competing for this business ex cept at a disadvantage by a range of mountains. One consideration the officials of the Atlantic Coast Line and the Louisville & Nashville had in mind when they acquired the Car. olina, Clinchfield & Ohio was to es tablish a connection so that * they could enter the field. The Louisville & Nashville has engineers making a detailed survey of possible connecttons between that railroad and the Carolina, Clinch field and Ohio, As soon as their re. port is filed new construction will be begun. There have been no changes in the plans which look to a double connection between the Louisville & Nashville and the Carolina, Clinch, field & Ohio. At the same time committees rep. resenting the Louisville & Nashville the 'Clinchfield and the Atlantic Coast Line are making detailed in spection of the Carolina Clinchfield & Ohio. They will rfeport on the phisical condition of the property. Upon this report the Atlantic Coast Line and the Louisville & Nashville will base plans Cor development. One of the improvements they hope to accomplish is the elimination of some of the stiffer grades on the Clinchfield doing away with the use of helper-engines in moving coal.

On this night the tower was so shaken by the heavy seas that much of the mercury was spilled out over the concrete floor of the light chamber.
