Senator Hugo L. Black Of Alabama
is it's principal sponsor
The last crusade against lobbyists
was directed by the late Senator
Thaddeus H. Caraway of Arkansas,
six or seven years ago. The Arkan-
san, merciless investigator, dug up
vast deal Of highly interesting III
formation in support of his demand
for the regulation Of folk engaged in
the business Of influencing Cor try
ing to influence) national legislation.
He never, succeeded, however, in get
ting his proposed regulatory system
adopted. Moreover, shortly before his
death. he told me that he questioned
the practicability of such a system.
"ToAcontrol lobbying" he said, sit
is necessary to define a lobbyist-and
it is almost impossible to do So"
NO MONEY PAID
Until Senator Caraway arrived at
that opinion it had been his plan to
require all lobbyists to register as
lobbyists
This also is Senator Blacks plan.
In addition, the Alabaman believes
that any one SO registered should be
required TO make monthly reports of
his expenditures and other details OF
his activities to some suitable au
thority,
Now, there may have been time
when lobbying in the capital was so
Grass as to be characterized by actual
payments of money for lawmakers
votes, but that time Gf ever GER
tainlyt is long past. Indeed, the sub
ject was quite sensationally discussed
in the Senate chamber just before the
present administration came into
?owet.
Sergeant-at farms David S: Barry
Republican officeholder, formerly a
newspaperman. realizing that he soon
was to lose his political job and seek
ing to regain his erstwhile status in
the press gallery, published an ar
ticle, deploring what he described as
the legislators susceptibility to in
fluences far from Capitol Hill, but
admitting that he did not know of
many" of them who accepted out
right cash.

The Salvation Army when the ERA
began functioning. After investigat-
ing the application for relief Grooms
was assigned to laboring work on
project.
One day he happened to tell the
ERA Administrator about his formula
and was encouraged to begin manu-
facture. Capital was needed and he
again approached the Administrator
for a loan of $500 to help carry on
saying that a Charlotte busines man
had offered that amount for 81 per
cent of the business.
He was advised not to sell and an
appointment for which he had been
trying, was arranged with the city
manager. The city manager purch-
ased two barrels, and the board of
county commissioners one barrel. of
the product.
These sales provided the needed inn
petus and the business was expended
Immediately. The product is now to
be found on the shelves Of many stores
in North Carolina, and, with a bus
mess firmly established, Mr. Grooms
faces a more secure future.
Today Mr.. Grooms said to the Ad-
ministrator, I'm here to thank you
and your co-workers for the magnifi-
cent work you have done for me. I
just do not know what would have
happened to my family and myself
without your assistance. Now 1 am

House calendar tonight for it's third
and final reading 1t is being said that
it was offered as "retaliatOry" mea-
sure because House and Senate lib
erals believed that Senator Hall John
Ston, of BuncOmbe, and a personal wet
would vote for the Day bill after they
had helped him to kill the hotel tax
| section of the revenue bill.
The question had been raised here
that the Senate could not, under its
rules, consider the hotel tax bill be-
cause it had previously rejected it as
part of the revenue bill. Lieut.-Gover-
nor Graham, president of the Senate,
however has said that if the question
is brought up he will be compelled
to rule that the new bill can be con-
sidercd. The senate rule in question
says that no bill containing the "prin-
cipal provisions" of bill already DE-
feated can be considered. President
Graham will rule that the new bill
may be considered because the hotel
room tax was not a principal provision
of the revenue bill, but only one of it's
more than 500 sections, a subsidision
Of the retail sales tax. 1t is also
pointed out that the Senate approved
the sales tax IN general
Up for approval by the upper house
is the biennial school machinery act
a sure-fire topic for debate. Passed
on second reading at Fridays mid
night session by the House was the
textbook rental bill. Final approval
| Of both houses is slated for this week.
Also passed by the House was the bill
which authorizes the governor and the
Council Of State to issue bonds for
! $500,000 for the use Of the State hos
| pitals for the insane. Alter heated de-
! bate it was passed, 1928, a bare quo
rum being present. The measure will
| be acted on by the Senate this week.
A great number of bills relating to
! the duties of various county officers
! and contemplating changes in judicial
\ procedure appear on the calendars OF
both houses.
Unsettled as yet is the matter of re-
duced license tags for cars. Sent to
a Joint conference committee, the
conferees have been utterly unable to
iron out differences of opinior be
tween the senate and house. The ulti-
mate result may be that the legisla~
the present scale of license costs.
Tonight Senator Coburn, of Martin,
is expected to offer a bill which would
legaliZe the sale and manufacture
without taxation, of natural, or table
wines. According to federal regula-
tions such wines must contain not
more than II per cent of alcohol by
weight. The bill will likely gain the
support of several legislators who
voted against the Day liquor bill, but,
as adjournment is near, may not be
acted upon.
Both houses have several bills which
require roll call readings and which
have passed on two readings. Formal
approval of these bills is all that is
lacking, but the passage of such meas
ures requires time
Final adjournment is confidently
expected this week. Last week both
houses accepted the conference re-

would make it appear that Mr.. Kin
sey owed the company approximately
$4,000 of the funds alleged to have
been misappropriated in cotton mani
pulations.
Mr. Poindexter said that he did not
make the false entry at that time
but reported the matter to V. f. Ward
president of the company, and that
directors meeting was called. He made
the false entry later, he said, at the
request of the directors to keep Mr..
kinsey here.
Mr.. Ward testified that Mr.. Poin-
dexter told him that Mr.. Kinsey had
stated that if he did not make the
false entry that he-KinSey-Wa 60

directors ordered the false entry

5ey called a directors meeting and
told the members of the board that
he had lost great deal of money
'Cr the Peck Manufacturing Company
and that he had lost everything he
1ad, and that he was heavily indebted
the Peck Manufacturing Company.
Continuing his testimony, Mr Ward
lated that Mr.. Kinsey said that hts
property was in his Wife's name and
hat he would try to get her to turn
over to the company that he would
ry to raise around $4,000 on life IN
surance, that possibly he could get

stated that Mr.. Kinsey's bank account
was attached while Mr. Kinsey was
IN his trip. He also said that Mr. Kin
ey turned over Peck Manufacturing
Company stock to the directors which
had a par value of around $13 900, and
lis wife's property.
Mr.. Ward stated that Mr.. Kinsey
lid not have any authority to gam

pany, also stated that Mr.. Kinsey was
given the authority to buy cotton con-
tracts but not to gamble. 41e said that
the company bought cotton futures
TO protect ourselves" On cross ex-
animation he stated that he had ac-
cess to the books and to the checks
drawn. Mr.. Watson said that when
Mr.. Kinsey laid his cards on the
table" at the directors meeting he did
not say anything about the money he
had borrowed from Henderson, and
hat he didn't take into considera-
tion the cotton he had stolen"
Mr.. Kinsey did not testify at the
hearing, nor did the defense place
any witnesses on the stand to rebuilt
the damaging testimony that rolled
throughout the day from the mouths
of witnesses for the Peck Manufac-
turing Company.

to a close at $50 in the afternoon.

There would have been fine inter-

"Why-Sue is all right" Some
