round about now. OF course you may

RALEIGH. April 21.-EnOugh
bills are now on the house caller
dar to keep it busy for the rest
of this week, exclusive of the
revenue bill. There were ST bills
on the calendar when the house
convened Tuesday night for its
first public session since Thursday
of last week. and more came over
from the senate and from COM
mitteeS yesterday. s. by the time
the house finishes with the reve-
nue. bill, it will probably have be-
tween IS and 100 public bills on
its calendar ready for action.
Many OF these bills are Of more
than ordinary importance and
some of them must be passed be-
fore the general assembly adj
journS.
Among the bills on the house
calendar are several designed to
change the safe game laws and
which are expected 10 stir up
something of storm in The house
when they are reached. One al
these mn a K Z : some ma'crai
changes in the Set-up of the &c
partment of conservation and de
vclopment. ahOliSheS the office Of

bineS the two into one job. An
O.her bill that is expected to cause
= good deal of fireworks when l.,
i reached is the bill by RepreSen-
tative Bowie to abolish the state
textbook commission and prohibit
all new adoptiOnS Of new text
books for ten years.
Although it is on the calendar
with a minority report, the bill by
REPRESENTATIVE Crews of Forsyth
10 regulate the business of MAX
ing small loans, and designed to
curb the "loan shark" evil in the
state. is expected to stir up some
spirited debate when it is reached.
A good many think the house Is
likely to pass it, especially since
it acted almost unanimously N
boosting the taxes on loan cont
panies in the revenue bill.
The bill by Representative Tay-
Tor of Mecklenburg relating TO the
regulation of the sale of securl-
ties i'm North Carolina, as re-wr1t-
ten by the committee on banks
and banking. is another of the
many bills on the house calendar
vet TO be acted upon. ReprcSen-
tative Gillian of Alamance has q
new bill on the calendar that
would amend the public laws Of
1881 relating to the tax on slot
machines. The omnibus justices
of the peace bill. which appoints
several hundred justices Of tn
peace over the state, ranging
from one to 10 per county, is also
or THE calendar ready 10 be
taken up. The bill by Represen-
tative Johnson of Chatham coun-
ty 10 limit the size of county
