Menese Willard and G. w. Boiling were
! committed to the Raleigh asylum:
found guilty of having too much whisky
in their possession and received fines.
Willard was made to pay $500 and costs
and placed under 5000 bond for his
good behavior for 10 months, reporting
to the court at each term to show that
he has not sold any whisky. Boiling,
thought to be a tool of Williards, was
fined $50 and costs and made to give a
500 bond for his appearance at court
to show good behavior. Judge Webb
gave the boys until Monday night to pay
the fines and costs or 60 to the roads.
Clay Moore received sentence of eight
months on the road with privilege of be-

ADAMSON ACT TO
Be STUDIED LATER
No Action on 1t by Congress Is
Expected Until the Decision
Is Reached.
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
(By PARKER R. ANDERSON.)

(By PARKER R. ANDERSON.)
Although no action by Congress on the
Presidents railroad legislative program
is expected this week, other than what
ever may happen at the meeting of the
! senate committee on interstate COM
merce on Friday, three bills of impor-
lance and several minor measures will
receive consideration at the capitol be-
tween now and next Saturday.
The railroad program has been turned
over to the senate, to be put through as
amendments to the Adamson law, passed
at the close of the last session and now
before the Supreme court of the United
States on test of it's constitutionality
as a wage fixing measure. The senate
committee on interstate commerce has
taken charge of the Presidents program,
but at it's first meeting last Friday no
| evidence appeared that it intended hur-
rying a bill into the senate.
In the house today the vocational edu-
cation bill will be called up and the
chances favor it's passage by the house
before the end of the week. This meas
ure, which has the backing of the ad-
ministration is designed to furnish aid
to industrial and agricultural schools
throughout the country. These schools
are intended to reach three classes of
persons. First, the involuntary idle; Sec
ond, the imperfectly employed, and,
third, the improperly employed. The
money appropriated by the bill will be
distributed through state boards of edu-
cation or whatever state boards are de-
signated by the state governments, the
Federal government expanding a dollar
for every dollar expended by the states,
up to a certain point.
For agricultural schools the bill carries
an appropriation of 100000 for the
year 1916-1917, this amount to be in
creased $25O,OOO year until the fiscal
year 1929 when the total annual ap-
preparation will be $2,OOO,OOO. Identical
appropriations will be made for indus
trial schools, except that the annual in
creases will run until the fiscal year 1925
20 in which year and subsequent years
the annual appropriation will be $4,000
600.
The bill has provisions for the creation
of central federal bureau in Washing
ton to direct the expenditure of thesap-
preparations, ETC., and for schools for the
instruction of teachers employed in
The review. [volume] (High Point, N.C.) 1908-19??, 1916-12-21
agricultural and Industrial schools.

| agricultural and industrial schools.
Representative Lever of South Caro-
lima, chairman of the committee on agri
culture, will call up during the week his
bill for the standardization of cotton
This is an important measure for the
cotton industry and provides for the ar
rangement of standard grades by the de-
partment of agriculture.
On the house calendar also are num-
Der of pension bills and other small bills,
left over from the last session, which
will be considered during the current
week.
In the senate the Shepperd bill for
prohibition for the District of Columbia
and the immigration bill loom up with
greatest Importance. Senator Morris
Shepperd, of Texas, author of the prohi-
bition bill, brought this measure UP last
week, but action on it was prevented by
adjournment on Friday out of respect
for the late Representative Tribble of
eorgia. Mr.. Shepperd will call the bill
up today and make an attempt to bring
it to vote.
There is a chance that this bill will be
sidetracked, however. It's opponents are
basing their faith in the adoption of an
amendment which has been offered by
Representative Underwood, of Alabama,
providing that the question be submit
ted to referendum of the people of the
district, which Shepperd does not want.
Furthermore, Senator Smith of South
Carolina, is insistent upon the considera-
ton of the immigration bill and it may
be that the senate will take the ground
that since the immigration bill is of ma
tional import it should be considered
first. The immigration bill and the cor
rupt practices act were the two big bills
that had to be got out of the way last
August to allow the eight-hour bill to
be passed. 49,
The corrupt practices act was left as
the unfinished business of the senate,
which gave it precedence over all other
legislation. The immigration bill stood
next to it on the calendar. The corrupt
practices act, which Senator Owen, of
Oklahoma called up last week, has been
sent back to committee for alterations,
which leaves the immigration bill at the
top.
Like the house, the senate has a raft
of pension bills, relief bills and other
small matters left over from the last
session and the senators interested in
them will make an effort to have them
considered this week.
While no official action has been
taken, the signs point to the taking of
a Christmas recess of a week or ten
days. Most of the members appear to
favor ten-day recess. The committees
having appropriation bills in charge will
be expected to remain in Washington
and get them ready for the rush after
the holidays.
