Cox Mny he Speaker
The next House will have an unusu-
ally large number of new men. judg-
ing from the primaries already held.
and from the number OF old men who
have not offered for reelection.
Speaker r. e Byrd has retired, and
much interest is expressed in the
spcakcrship. Candidates mentioned are
L. +. Cox, OF Richmond, who ran sec
ond to Mr.. Byrd last time: Judge Mar
torney- General Williams: Major j. y.
Stubs. Of Gloucester. and Harry R.
Houston. of Hampton. All have been
declared the nominees of their sections.
Judge Williams is a receptive candi-
date only. and early indications point
to Mr. Cox as the probable speaker
of the next House.
Unusually important problems are to
come before this session. Former
Senator Kcezell, who Is a candidate for
the House from Rockingham County,
with excellent chances of election, in
announcing that he will vote for the
enabling act. expresses the opinion that
public interest demands the earliest
possible settlement of the question.
He believes that 1t should be voted
on one way or the other in the first
ten days of the session, as the con-
tinued agitation and endless speech
making stands in the way OF remedial
Legislation along many lines" AS the
sentiment of the State has crystallized
into a strong demand for tax reform
and for some proper regulation Of the
fee system. both OF which are financial
| problems affecting the States revenue.
and az the adoption OF a State wide
prohibition act would reduce the States
annual revenue by 100000. it will be
seen that the Finance Committee OF
the House and Senate face no easy
! undertaking.
Serious Financial Problems.
Great regret. therefore, is felt at the
continued illness OF Colonel A. NJ. Bow
man, for many years chairman OF the
House Finance Committee, which has
| forced his retirement from tho race.
| Under the Folkcs resolution the SEN
ate Finance Committce-a hold-over
