Word has reached the capital

ed the point where Long and

filibuster, saying he has 81 DEM

which requires the approval Of
two-thirdS of the senate. Re-
publicans will maintain a neu-

strictly Democratic fight in which
they are not called upon to par

that many senators who would
like to break the filibuster are
reluctant to vote for cloture,
feeling it establishes a preee-

Marriage Law
Hearing Promised
The Times, News Bureau


Sir Walter Hotel
RALEIGH, Jan. 16.--The two
bills to repeal the sections of the
present marriage laws requiring
those under legal age to file five
days notice of ip5ention to marry
and requiring physical examina-
tons of all applicants for mar
riage. licenses would have been
passed by the house Friday but
for the requestsIof several women
to be heard on these bills. Intro
duced, by Representatives Thomp-
son of Columbus and Wilson of
Caswell. the bills we're reported
favorably by a unanimous vote of
jundiciary committee l and were
on the verge of being passed when
Representative o. B. Moss of
Nash county, chairman of the
committee, announced that he
would like to have the bills re-
referred to the committee in Or.
der to permit the women that
have asked to appear to be heard.
"Since a woman is concerned in
every marriage and no marriage
can take place without a woman,
| think it no more than fair that
these bills be sent back to the
committee" said Representative
Walter Murphy of Salisbury. So
the bills were sent back to give
representatives of the North Car
DINA Federation of Women's
Clubs. the League of Women Vot-
ers and of the Women's Legisla-'
tive Council an opportunity to be
heard. The provisions in the pres
ent marriage laws which these
new bills would remove, were put
in as the result Of the activities
of these women's organizations.
They were advocated as marriage
reform measures that would deter
hasty marriages and the marriage
of persons physically unfit. The
result has been, however. that
these laws have driven most of
the marriage business to Virginia,
South Carolina and other border
states with less severe marriage
laws.
In 1920, total of 29,T54 mar
rage licenses was issued in this
state, while in 1882 the number
amounted to only 1922. Esti-
mates made by the State tax COM
mission are that as the result of
TINS decrease the state is losing
S52,62l a year and the counties
one-third as much. and blames
these restrictive laws for the de-
crease. Representatives Thompson
and Wilson introduced these bills
to remove these restrictions in an
effort to regain the revenue now
being lost on account of them,
they say. Indications are that the
bills will pass eventually. :

the veto, and enough others were
classed as "doubtfuF' to assure a
very close vote. The absentees, i
was thought. may determine tn"
fate of the legislation, since some
senators friendly to the bill were
anxious to avoid direct "break
with the president.
Secretary of State Stimson, N
the letter published yesterday, de-
clared that the United States
presence in the Philippines has
contributed TO the development III
new base of political equillD-
rum throughout the area of the
western Pacific and eastern Asia;
Secretary Stimson suggested
thai the Filipinos themselves might
prefer aided self-government to
complete separation. He held tina.
the present bill abandons the OPP
portunity "for q constructive ST.
luton of the Philippine problem
which would preserve for fu 'ure
generations of Americans and Fill
! ipinos the benefit of this remark
able and successful experiment IN
cooperation between these two
peoples"
Secretary of Commerce Chaplin
drew a negative picture of the
trade and fiscal effects in the Phil
ippines of The proposed bill. He
said that from the standpoint OF
comparative production costs Phil
ippines sugar could not be sold in
the American market even II adj
mitted under the reduced rate on
Cubar sugar. and. considering the
present overproduction, no other
market is available.
The shipments of free copra to
the United States might increase,
but the cocoanut oil industry
would probably be lost entirely.
and the dessicated cocoanut in
dustry would likely revert to Cey-
Ion.
Budgetary effect of the decline
in trade with the United States,
Chaplin predicted, would be sex
tremely serious" :,
Depreciation of land values and
adverse effects on Philippines rail-
way finances also were predicted.
Secretary of Agriculture Hyde
discredited the benefits of the bill
to American agriculture because
of delays in the application of the
quota limitations and because the
tariff-exempt quotas are larger
than imports in 1928.
Secretary of War Hurley held
that the bill would destroy the
progress made toward self-govern-
ment by the Filipino people, and
that the United States has a spe-
cial obligation to consider the
welfare of those people. He asked
that independence be withheld un-
til the Filipinos are reasonably
politically and econom-
ically. to accept it, and until in
ternational conditions and rela-
tons justify the step.

the effect that SO counties are

from the local government com

contained a number Of lnaccur-

"Neither the local government

1t is impossible foH the local

its records posted up to date with

since they are constantly subject
to change and because the COM
mission gets reports from the
counties only every 80 days, Mr..
Easterling said. The records also

that are not considered rs mean
ing the counties are in default,
he explained.
wayne county, which was in
cluded in the published report as
being in default, isl not in de-

county has past due items, which
by mutual agreement between
the county and holder of an is
sue of its bonds, have not been
paid. But the agreement was
made before the Items became
due.
"Tyrrell county, also listed as
being in default, has been in de-
fault, but funds are now avail
able with which to pay all Of its
past due indebtedness. Pasquo-
tank county is technically in de-
fault for the purpose Of locating
the holders Of some of its bonds
which are payable to bearer so
that refinancing plan can be
completed.
Many of the other counties
included in the published list are
only temporarily m default. So
the situation is ,not as bad as it

ASSEMBLY AWAITS
BUDGET MESSAGE

however, that the commiEsi
will be abolished or its powers
curtailed at this time, since it is
realized by most Of the legisla-
ture that the commission has
saved North Carolina many mil
lions Of dollars during the past
administration. There is also a
pretty general agreement among
the legislators that is due to the
uncertainty Of the economic out
look. the governor and the COM
mission should retain the power
Of cutting expenses to meet the
volume Of incoming revenue.
The finance committees have
deferred consideration Of any
bills affecting the revenue Of the
state until they should begin
constructing the general revenue
bill. Now these bills can come in
for study next week. Bills OF
this nature already introduced in
the house or senate have been
many and far-reaching.
The most all-embracing meas
ure was the Clement bill to levy
a production tax of one-half Of
one per cent on all articles man
ufactured or processed in the
state. The bill is designed to
take the place of the property
tax, now in effect, and also to
eliminate the possibility of a
general sales tax, which Senator
Clement vigorously opposed at
the 1881 session and which I'M
doubtedIy will be proposed again
this year.
Other measures that will be
considered by the committee in
framing the revenue bill are: a
bill taxing electrical energy; two
bills reducing the cost of auto
mobile licenses, one bill cutting
the cost about so per cent and
the other 90 per cent: bill di-
verting part of the money COL
lected from gasoline taxes to the
counties; and others.
Two bills which will probably
be reported on next week would
not affect the finances Of the
state. These are the Corey bill
providing for a drivers license,
and setting up a state police
radiator system, and the Burgin
bill calling for the establishment
of system of unemployment in
Both of these proposed
innovations are designed to be
self-supporting, and are based on
laws now in operation in other
states.
In the senate Lieutenant Gov
ernor Graham has requested the
members of that body to intro
duce their local bills as soon as
possible, so that they may be
cleared out of the way before the
senate gets down to consideration
of more far-reaching legislation.
The senate finance committee
has also requested that all reve-
nue. measures be introduced as
early as possible so they can be
considered in the revenue bill.
Should these two suggestions be
carried out, they undoubtedly
would go a long way toward
holding down the length of the
1888 session.

The filibuster has reached the

primary last spring, while still re-
tanning his office as commissioner
of revenue.
Governor Ehringhaus has given
no intimation as yet concerning
his appointments. 1t is known,
however, that he has high regard
for the abilities of Mr.. Maxwell
as a tax expert and theorist, as
we'll as an expert on all fiscal mat
ters. 1t has been learned from
sources close to Gov. Ehringhaus,
however, that he has not been
impressed with Mr..
abilities as an eXecu-
tive and collector of revenue as
evidenced in his management of
the department of revenue. 1t is
pointed out that man may be a
theoretical expert along many
lines and still not be an effective
executive.
Hence it is believed by quite a
number that Mr.. Maxwell would
have a better opportunity to ex-
ercise his abilities as a tax expert
as assistant director of the budget
than as commissioner of revenue.
Hence indications are now point
ing much stronger towards his Sc
lection for the budget post than
towards his reappointment as COM
of revenue. In no case
is it believed that Mr.. Maxwell
will be dropped entirely by Gov.
Ehringhaus. who has indicated a
high regard for the Maxwell abili-
ties.
