MUNICIPAL ACT
MUST Be INVALID
CITIES ARE INTERESTED
Clerical Error Would Leave
Municipalities Under Con-
troll of Old Municipal Fin
ance Act Which Puts SOC
Limit ON General Taxation,
Increase on Permission.

Raleigh, April 28.-(By Max Aber-
hy).-Secretary Of State J. Bryan
Grimes who quiried Attorney Gen.
eral James s. Manning as to whether
he, as custodian of the record, may
authorize the chief clerk of the SEN
ate Of the 1921 legislature to amend
the journal so as to make that en-
try agree with the one on the bill
itself, holds that only the legislative
body itself has such authority.
The ruling was asked for by reason
of the question which has arisen as
to whether the failure of the clerk
to make the proper entry on the
senate journal does not invalidate
the Municipal Finance Act. The at
torney general quotes the constitu-
tion which makes plain that no law
shall be enacted to raise money or
to pledge the faith of the State, or
to impose any tax or to allow cities,
counties and town to do so "unless
the bill for the purpose shall have
been read three several times in each
House of the General Assembly"
1T is only necessary" the attorney
general holds, in telling the secretary
of state that only the Legislature it.
self has the authority to amend the
record, "to state one reason, among
several which exist, why you do not
have this authority. The section
above quoted requires the yeas and
nays on the second and third reading
of the bill to he entered on the jour-
nal. This necessitates the names of
those voting aye an dthe names Of
those voting aye and the names of
the bill alone, you could by no poss-
ibility be certified of the names of
those who voted aye and the names
Of those who voted no.
The invalidity Of the 1921 NUM-
cipal Finance Act would leave North
Carolina municipalities under the op-
GRAFTON of the old municipal finance
act which puts a fifty cent limit on
general taxation, but allows munich
palities to increase that rate upon
permission Of the Municipal Board of
Control. For the year 1920, it was
stipulated that this increase would
not exceed ten per cent.

/. GERMANY'S LAST
!. PREPARATION NOTE
HIS OPINION UNCHANGED
Neutral Experts, Foreign Min
lister Declared, Had Over
Estimated Germany's Capac.
ity to Pay. There Remained
Only One Power to Turn to,
the United States.
HIS OPINION UNCHANGED

Berlin, April 2S.-Speaking IN the
Reichstag with regard to reparations,
Dr.. Walter Simons, the Foreign Min
lister, declared that as the Reichstag
had regarded Germany's offer to the
Allies, made at the recent London
conference, too high, the members
could not take the new offer sent
through the United States Land made
public here today] on the basis of
an increase over the previous Ger
man offer, but only on a different
basis.
The neutral experts, DR.. Simons
continued, unfortunately had over
estimated Germany's capacity to pay.
He said that he had always emphasize
ed the fact that he was ready to enter
into new negotiations. The Govern
ment had been compelled to adopt
that attitude in view of the enormous
difficulties of the situation for Ger
many.
The Foreign Minister said that he
had not sought mediation by neutral
Governments, nor had he altered his
opinion of the demands made by the
Allies at Paris since the London Con-
ference. The Foreign Minister ad-
mitted that he had hoped he could
come to an understanding direct with
France, but that the feeling there
was such that he had been unable to
retain that hope. Therefore, there
remained only one power to turn to-,
neither neutral nor one of the Allies,
and that was the United States.

Wash. April IS.-The first aattack

The emergency tariff bill designed
for the relief of farmers and to check
the dumping of foreign goods was
ordered favorably reported by the.

Chicago, April 2S.-Reduction Of

B. M. Jewell head Of railway union
who opened the employees fight to

The statement that the cost of liv-

with the reply that the award was
based on prices Of 1919 and not July
1920, the peak Of high prices. Mr..
Jewell declared it would take three
years for railway employees at the
present wage to recoup losses sus-
tanned during the war period because
