FEW DIE AND NONE RESIGN.

The last Legislature created an act
providing for the inspection of illumi-
mating oils in this State. The act
also provides that the Agricultural
Department may appoint ten inspec-
tors at a salary of $1,000 each to
perform said duty. Between three
and four hundred applicants, from
Democrats. are already on file with
the Department. A Raleigh CORE
spondent, writing on the subject.
says: "a defect in the act is that in
the event OF the resignation of any
OF the inspectors. when once appoint
ed, neither the Governor nor the
Commissioner Of Agriculture would
have the power to fill the vacancy of
the unexpired term, but it would be
necessary to call a special session of
the State Board of agriculture to
elect"
1t Is useless to worry over some
thing that will never happen, There
is no danger of vacancy among the
oil inspectors when once appointed.

job, or gets blown-up while testing

TO PORTO RICO'S RELIEF.

The Legislative Assembly of Porto
Rico adjourned some days ago with
out having passed an appropriation
bill; consequently the government of
the Island will be without funds af-
ter June 3Oth, next, unless the Con-
gress of the United States makes pro-
visions for its support. The Porto
Rican House of Delegates Is elected
by popular vote. The Executive
Council, which consist of six Federal
officials in the Island and five ma
tives, constitute the upper house of
the Legislative Assembly. There
have been disagreements between the
two branches of the Assembly. Some
legislation favored by the House of
Delegates has been disapproved by
the Executive Council. and because
they could not get what they wanted
the House of Delegates refused to
pass an appropriation to furnish
funds for running the Government.
AS the Island Is under the protector
ate Of the United States, President
Taft has sent special message to
Congress recommending an amend
ment of the Foraker act, by which
local self-government was granted to
the Porto Ricans, along the lines of
the acts applying to the Legislatures
of the Philippines and Hawaii. It is
provided in the case of these de-
tendencies that If their Legislative
Assemblies shall adjourn without
making the appropriations necessary
to carry on their governments, sums
equal to the appropriations made in
the previous year for the respective
purposes shall be available for cur
rent revenues. In these dependen-
cies, therefore, there are effectual
safeguards against the misuse of the
power of appropriation by one branch
of the Legislative Assembly to COM
pei concurrence in its action by the
other branch.
