and an extraordinary. power:
That this il the basis. of every
means BY which they have built

The emancipation Of the rank

When the rock beds of lnon0po,

What will probably be the most
important session of the North
Carolina General Assembly in
the past two decades convened
in Raleigh today. Thp body is
face to face with snme tremen.
dous important problems that
demand wise and immediate a..
tion. The State of North Car0li-
ma is ut critical period nf its
development just now and II be-
ing handicapped In some ways
that may be remedied by the
Legislature. Much ofproyressive
legislation Is. nredpd and, while
the huge deficit which th-. State
has at present wlllno doubt haye
the i+ffect Of making the solous
conservative and cautious, there
is no doubt but that q very con.
siderable volume OF beneficial
legislation is in prospect.
The State is fortunate this year
in the personnel of this General
Assembly. The Importance OF the
problems confronting the State
have been manifest for some time
and many men who ordinarily
would not care TO make the rae.
rifice incident to spending two
months away from their private
business offered themselves. and
were elected to the two branches
OF the body. Probably no Gener'
al Assembly for a decade b a 9
been better balanced or better
equipped for the tasks before it.
There are many wise and pro
gres>lve men in the body, men
who not only desire the best for
their State, but who are capable
OF working out it's problems.
The most vital task before the
Legislature is the framing of a
just, equitable and effective tax
system for the State which will
not only yield ruch an income as
will overcome the deficit, but
will not he burdensome, bearing
alike on all sections and all in.
tprests. Such a system will neces-
sarily differ radically from what
we now have. A six.mOnths
school term throughout the state
and compulsory education will
command long and careful con-
side ration, The matter of con-
serving and enlarglng the natu-
raj resources of the State will
lie considered. The matter Of
state aid for highway work will
also come up and it il probable
that State aid wilt be offered to
the extent OF engineering assist
ance for counties at least.
The election laws of the State
will receive some attention and
the number OF Superior c our t
judges may be Increased. These
and other problems will give the
General Assembly an exceeding
busy 60 days.

FOR SINGER PARK
Factory League Directors Meet
and Decide Not to Change
the Game on Saturday to
SpringbrOOk Park.

No changes in the playing schedule
were made at a meeting of the di-
rectors of the Factory league at the
meeting Tuesday nigh, and as a re-
suit the Singer-Ball Band game Will
be PLAYED at the Singers park.

played at Sp1ingbrook park. 1t was
stated that IL would mean a saving to
the Mishawaka fans and would place
the two teams on an equal footing.
However, the plan was turned down
at the meeting. Ii was figured that
the schedule was made before any of
the directors had an idea as to what
teams would be the winners or fight
ing for the lead in the last game. and
that Singers were entitled to the game
on the home lot.
The season has been a successful
one and the league has money left
after meeting all debts. 1t is planned
to hold a meeting early in September
when disposal of the funds will be
made.

EXPECT WHITAKER

Frank Whitaker. the former local
high school athlete, is being counted

of the back field this year. The vet
eran cream and crimson coach has is
sued his call to varsity men and they
will report for the initial practice on
Sept. 10.
Last year Whitaker was the Sensa-
ton of the freshman team. He APP
tanned the team from his position at
quarterback, and made a berth for
himself on the varsity this year al
most a certainty. While in high
school here Whitaker was known as
one of the best high school quarter
backs ever turned out by the local
school.
He played this position on the fresh
man team at the state university last
year, but will probably be used as one
of the halves this season. Berry
Whitaker, the varsity quarter of last
year, will be back again when school
opens and for this reason Frank
Whitaker will probably be shifted.
