REPUBLICAN
GERMANY NOW
ON THE WANE
Bill Formulated to Term
mate Last Constitu-
tional Rights

POTSDAM, March 21.-(UP).
With threat to destroy all those
seeking to damage our people, .
Chancellor Adolf Hitler opened
the session of tne Reichstag to-
day in an atmosphere of German
imperialism.
Banners and war songs of the
former monarchy were featured.
Hitler and President Won linden
burg spoke. Hitler said:
eve shall strive to unite all
those willing to help but we shall
destroy all those seeking to DAM
age our people"
Hitler called for the cultivation
of the old national tradition, re.
pudiated Germany's admission of
war guilt in the Treaty of Yer
sailles, and cited banning of the
Republican flag as an act restor-
ing the national honor.
The death blow to parliament
tary democracy in postwar Ger
many was embodied in an enab-
ling bill formulated by the cabi-
net last night, on the eve of the
opening Of the new Fascist-con-
trolled Rcichstag.
The bill proposes to strip the
Reichstag of its legislative powers
and would deliver unlimited law:
making powers into the hands OF
the cabinet. 1t goes so far as to
abolish the necessity OF two
thirds majority in the Reichstag
for an amendment to the constl'
tuition, transferring amendment
privileges to the cabinet.
The enabling bill would ellml-
nate the necessity of the Reich
stag's passing the budget or en-
dorsing loans.
It abolishes the veto rights of
| the federal council in the Reich
stag and grants the chancellor the
right to issue laws without the
signature of the president:
The cabinet, under the en-
abling act, would be given the
authority to make and carry out
foreign treaties on its own lnltla-
tive, and independently of the
Reichstag entirely.
The text of the cabinets pro
posed enabling bill. practically
abolishing parliamentary democ-
| racy in Germany, includes these
points:
"The federal laws may be pro,
mulgated by the cabinet, and
signed by the chancellor.
"The federal laws may deviate
from the constitution provided
they do not concern the institu-
ton proper of the Reichstag fed
eral council.
"The prerogatives of the Reich's
president remain untouched.
"Treaties with foreign powers
will not require the concurrence
of the legislative bodies.
"This bill expires automatically
on April /, 1887, or at any time
prior to then when the present
government may be replaced"

snapshots of the wreckage caused
by the recent earthquakes at Long
Beach. Compton and San Pedro,
sent by his son, James Houston
Case, who enlisted in the navy 10
months ago and is now assigned
to the u. S. S. Arizona. The Arl-

WASHINGTON, Mar. 81 (UP) |
Roosevelt leaders clamped a gag
rule on the house today to quell
growing revolt against the adj
ministration's farm relief program
and steam-roller it to passage. )
Speaker Rainey. confident OF
holding most of his followers in
line under iron-clad procedure,
predicted adoption of the meas
ure by night.
Some Democratic leaders fear
ed victory would come only at the
price of party discord. loss Of Re-
publican support, and an end to
the period of enthusiastic coop
Grafton which swept the first
Roosevelt emergency measures
through with little opposition.
None dared predict the fate of
the farm bill in the senate. Mr.:
Roosevelt at a conference last
night with leaders of both parties
was informed frankly the opposi-
ton was so strong that passage Of
the bill in it's present form was
problematical.
WASHINGTON. Mar. 81 (UP)
President Roosevelt urged full
speed ahead last night on a COM
prehensive legislative program
touching all points of the eco
nomic front in a White House
conference with leaders of both
parties in congress.
First in order is reforestation
project designed to put thousands
of unemployed men to work.
Beyond this, the conference last
night discussed (D a broad pro-
gram including the pending farm
relief bill and legislation to pre-
| vent foreclosure of home and
farm mortgages (2) a railroad
| Improvement and coordination
program and another program re-
lating to transportation in GER
eral; (3) unemployment aid to
states; (4) a large program OF
public works construction; (5)
revision of the banking structure
to correct existing abuses.
The conference likewise re-
viewed the silver question, in
which President Roosevelt was re-
ported as being interested and
there was also general talk Of
Russia. Conversation on Russia,
it was learned, was general and
not specifically limited to possible
recognition.
Congressional leaders present
said it was agreed to move ahead
and complete the economic pro-
gram without a recess.
The White House issued the
following statement after the con-
ference:
"a most interesting discussion
was held between the president
and a number of senators and
members of the house of repre-
sentatives. The discussion covered
many phases of the economic pro-
gram.

Mild CREEK CHANNEL Being
STRENGTHENED IN COUNTY
Relief Project Is Financed
by R. F. G. Funds;
Will Aid Farmers
WILL BLAST OUT A
NUMBER OF SHOALS

A force of Is men is now at
work on a project Of cleaning
and Strengthening the banks Of
Mud Greek for a distance of
approximately three miles.
The work is being done as a
relief project on funds supplied
from the Reconstruction Finance
corporation, and is expected to
represent an expenditure of ap-
proximately $1,000. Unless the
force now at work is augment
ed, the work will require about
two months for completion
The work is essentially a san
,tary project, but at the same
lime will materially aid farm
ers whose lands border on the
creek, and will afford better
drainage for several thousands
OF acres of fertile land lying
along the creek banks.
The work was undertaken I'M
der the direction of the water
commission in order to facilitate
the disposal of sewage from
the city. Such a project has been
contemplated for a number of
years by the commission, but
funds for the work have been
lacking. The relief money is not
available for a purely damage
project, but the project from a
sanitary standpoint was approx
ed by the district welfare Off
Ger.
The men at work are taking
out all stumps and distractions
to the steady flow Of the wa
ter, and the creek bank is be-
ing Strengthened. Earth taken
from the creek bank is being
thrown up along the banks and
will keep the water within the
channel at higher water stages
than formerly.
Several shallow shoals along
the creek will be blasted away
in order to prevent the water
from backing up behind these
shoals, and the entire bed of
the stream, from a point just
beyond the Balfour quarry to
point about three quartes of
mile above the bidge over thy
creek at the Greenville highway,
will be prepared to take the wa
ter away at a create speed.
The project will not entirely
eliminate the overflow of the
creek onto bottom lands, but it
will prevent the creek from
Overlooking at ordinary water
stages, and will give taste drain
age from bottom lands when the
creek overflows its banks.

PROHIBITION
Will Be issue
Assemblylnen Must Face
1t This Week, Is
Declared
By HENRY LESESNE
The Times News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, March 21.-Thus
far all the fights on the prohi-
bition question have been waged
in the lower branch of the gen
eral assembly, but now the next
round of the scrap is slated 10
take place on the floor of the
senate, probably within the
week.
Early committee action is
forecast on the only prohibition
modification measure which has
been introduced in the senate.
a bill by Senator Francis Of
Haywood to levy both state and
municipal taxes on the sale OF
wine and beer in the state.
The committee on consdtu-
tional amendments has already
held a public hearing on the
question of submitting prohibit
bition repeal to a state conven-
ton. and is expected to give its
approval to one of two differ
ent plans for the selection Of
delegates. ,
One of these plans, outlined
in a bill offered by Senator
Waynick of Guilford. chairman
of the committee, calls for the
election of delegates to a con-
vention in next falls general
election, and the holding of a
convention the following month
The other plan, offered by
Senator A. d. Mclean of Beau
fort, would have the voters in
the next election decide on the
question of whether or not
they wanted to hold a cOnven-
ton. and under this proposal 1t
would be a matter of several
years before a convention could
be held.
Both of these bills have been
referred to the committee on
constitutional amendments, and
it is regarded as certain here
that one of them will get to
the floor of the senate on a
favorable report and the other
on a minority report.
While the drys are unanl-
mously opposed to the enact
ment of any wine and beer leg
islation until state convention
is called, their ranks are split
on the question of calling a
state convention as early as IS
proposed in either of the bills
now before the committee on
constitutional amendments.
The liberal dry element, which
includes a good portion of the
political drys in the state, are
willing to admit that since con-

one truck. At McElroy we picked
up Mrs. Lutnes, one of the Nc
Elroy delegates.
Some of the group stopped in
Crosby for lunch while some ate
lunch near Flaxton. The only car
trouble on the days drive was a
flat tire on Hardersen's car.
The two cars arrived in Bergen
shortly after 6 p. M, while the
truck came in about an hour later
Alvin Olson, our contact here, in
vited the group out to his place,
about three miles from town, fOI
a chicken supper.
After supper we returned tC
Bergen where we held very good
meeting, William Moxness acting
as chairman.
The first speaker was Mrs. Odir
Lutnes, who talked on farm home
conditions, and urged that we or
ganize. and demand all the things
we need.
The main speaker of the evening
was Chas. Joslyn, who outlined the
cause of the crisis, and showed
that the solution of the Roosevelt
administration was not a soultiol
at all. The last speaker was A
N. Wankel. He talked on tn

tons as well. 1t was set up at a
Philadelphia Milk Shed Conference
on May 9 for the purpose of pre-
pairing a Milk Shed for higher
prices to the dairy farmer and
lower prices to the city worker.
This Committee is the leader of
the terrific struggle now being
waged against the Philadelphia
milk-shed agreement forced on the
farmers by the federal govern
ment, the milk trust, and the cor
rupt officials of so-called milk

No doubt, the Farmers Second
National Conference will stimulate
the setting of many more such
united front committees. Unity in
struggle is the outstanding need
of American farmers today.
