State SALES
TAX IS STILL
IN SPOTLIGHT
Increase In Gas Tax To
Pay County Bonds Is
s$ Proposed

= RALEIGH, Jan. 31.-(UP).-
The lower house today voted down
an amendment to the Jonas bill
that would make a life sentence
mandatory on recommendation of
mercy by jury. The bill con-
tinued to be debated after this
amendment was disposed of.
RALEIGH, Jan. SIT h e
State general sales tax again
held the center of the legislative
stage here yesterday as oppon-
ents and proponents of the gen.
eral levy were heard before the
joint committee on finance.
Running a close second in in
terest in the capital city, how
ever, were two measures to have
the state take over the bonded
Indebtedness of the counties,
and a hearing on a measure to
allow county commissioners to
appoint tax collectors and con.
solidate county offices.
|, The sales tax drew praise from
the North Carolina Association
of Real Estate boards and con-
demnation from the North Caro-
lima Merchants association, head
led by David Ovens, of Charlotte,
and Willard Dowell, secretary,
of Raleigh.
! The question OF a substitute
measure was raised and the
lcemmstea was informed def
nately that a substitute measure
will be offered. The measure, it
is understood, will be offered by
r p r sentative Mcdonald, of
Forsyth.
The state drivers license law
was passed on first reading by
the senate, and the upper body
set special consideration of the
measure for Monday night.
An increase in the gasoline tax
was proposed in a bill introduced
in the senate by Browning, of
Swain. The tax would be in
creased from six to seven cents
per gallon and the additional re-
venue would be used to retire
county bonded Indebtedness for
roads. Five representatives in
the lower house are authors of
similar measures.
The house rescinded it's action
of Tuesday which tabled the
Jonas bill to allow Judges to i'm
pose life sentences in capital
felony convictions where juries
recommend mercy. The bill was
restored to the calendar for
further consideration.
Senate approval was given to
a bill to outlaw valuations and
other human Endurance contests
after April 1 and the measure
was sent to the lower hourse.
''Uncle Joe" Garibaldi, form
er representative from Mecklen-
burg, addressed the house on in
vitation of Representative Scholl,
OF Mecklenburg.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 81.
(UP)-The revolt against Sena-
tor Huey Longs one-man dicta-
! torship of Louisiana spread fur
Their afield last night.
Angry citizens were mobiiiz.
ed in half. a dozen parishes.
Their leaders frankly discussed
the prospects of civil war. A
hint of impending battle was
given by Former Judge Charles
F. M. Kilbourne Of East. Felici-
ana Parish. He wired Secretary
of War George Derr. inquiring
about the citizens rights to go
to battle: with the. state militia;
which Long has modified against
them.
A climax was anticipated this
week end when Long4is expect
ed toSIeoriyene his ssss6sefpietfo'
state legislature to complete his
strangehold on this sovereign
state.
The Square deal association.
backed by Longs enemies in all
parts of the state, is fostering
the insurrection. Many communi-
ties have formed companies" of
Square dealers, along military
lines, and their spokesman say
they will march on Baton Rouge
the minute the legislature is con-
vened. They plan to enforce Il
demand on state officials for the
repeal Of all laws by which Long
seized control of the state.
Long was due back from Wash
ington Friday to resume his
court investigation of the alleged
plot to assassinate him last week.
1t was understood the court, pre-
sided over by Longs friend
Judge ]. D. Womack, would also
investigate a clash between
Square dealers" and national
guardsmen at the airport Satur-
day.
| Longs state police were out
, last night serving subpoenas on
about 1875 witnesses.
With a thousand national
guardsmen enforcing martial law
over the capital city, few persons
expected battle between troops
and Square Dealers" but state
authorities were concerned over
possibilities of guerilla war

Adds ABABA, August 29.-Slowly

From his palace window he looked
down upon q caravan laden with
cartridges and modern rifles setting
out for Wollega Province to equip
10000 Gala tHbesmen. The Gallas
are noted, along with Danakils, as
the fiercest warriors in Halle Selas-

by Gen. Makonnen DENIS, the hus-
band of the Emperor's only niece
a bond which seals q once deadly
feud DENIS had with the Emperor.
With the rainy season nearing It's
end the Emperor is wasting no time

Negotiations for Agreement on

Fire.

By the Associated Press.
Disclosure Of Japanese American
negotiations for "gentleman's agree
ment" on the Philippine textile trade
brought strong intimation today Of
q protest from the inSular govern
ment's representative In Washington
Concerned over the prerogatives of
the commonwealth government to be
inaugurated this fall, Philippine Resi-
dent Commissioner Francisco Delgado
issued carefully worded statement,
in which he said:
ST cannot imagine the Federal Gov
ernment doing anything which will
tend to curtail or undermine the
self lf-government and local autonomy
granted by laws now in force and
heretofore exercised by the Philippine
government"
His contention was that the Philip
pines must be consulted before the
conclusion Of any agreement between
the United States and Japan seeking
to restrict japanese exports to the
islands, which have caused political
and economic friction by cutting into
the American market.
Laws now in force" in the islands
include the Tydings-McDuffie act
which grants virtually complete au-
tonomy and full tariff control to q
10-year commonwealth government
preliminary to establishment OF
Philippine republic.
II wss revealed Monday that Hirosi
Saito, the japanese Ambassador, and
Secretary Hull initiated textile talks
covering the general phases OF the
question, while other Japanese and
Americans officials are now carrying
on closely guarded proceedings looking
to the drafting Of mutually salts
factory agreement.
American textile interests have be-
come thoroughly aroused over the
capture Of American and Filipino
markets by Japanese trade, and have
protested vigorously.

European Situation.
BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, August 29-The Kellogg
peace pact, signed in Paris amid many
enthusiastic declarations that 1t out
lawed war, today stands as the final
bulwark against Ethiopian war,
in the view Of the British government.
Great Britain. should all other
efforts fail and Mussolini invade
Ethiopia, hopes the United States and
France will jointly summon for con-
sultation all the signatories of this
instrument to bring the full moral
force Of the world down upon Mus
solini's head as an international out
law and destroyer Of world peace.
The British government has not yet
formally approached the United States
and France in the Kellogg pact mat
ter, but has been extremely interested
in the recent references Of President
Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull
to it.
The mounting tension, particularly
in the Mediterranean, was demon
strated today in Prime Minister Stan
ley Baldwin's sudden shift of plans
in cutting short by a fortnight his
already interrupted holiday in France
to return next Wednesday. The Brit
ish fleet in the Mediterranean steamed
forth from Malta, presumable to mass
in the vicinity OF the Suez Canal.
Coincident with reports that Il Duce
had consulted his naval strategists in
regard to posting forces directly oppo-
site Malta, came word that British
troop maneuvers near Malta were ex-
tended to last full month instead Of
the ordinary few days.
The war Office ordered all senior
members of the Army Council to re-
main in London until further notice.

BODY FOUND
IN ROAD DITCH
Indications Point to Accidental
Drowning of Frank Skufca,
Visitor Here.

The body OF man was found lying
face-down in about four inches of water
Friday afternoon alongside a road lead
ing to Kapsch's farm by Joseph Ban
ovetz who was passing the spot and
noticed light colored cap in the ditch
and which upon investigation led to
the discovery Of the body.
Banovetz pulled the body out of the
water and first aid methods were ap-
piled but to no avail and the Fenske
Mortuary was notified Deputy Coroner
Ayres viewed the body and deemed an
inquest not necessary.
The supposition is that the man
tainted and in the fall struck his head
on rock rendering him unconscious,
and being unable to help himself, was
drowned.
Investigation disclosed the body 10 be
that Of Frank Skufca, transient, who
had arrived in the city about three days
before to visit his brother, Joseph
Skufca.
The funeral of the unfortunate man
took place Monday from the Fenske
Mortuary, the Rev. Father Mihelcic
