System; Many Local Bills
Are Quickly Passed

Raleigh. Feb 25-(AP)-The House,
by an overwhelming oral vote, accept
ed Senate amendments to the $751;
100000 biennial general revenue bill
this afternoon.
The House must now pass the
amended revenue act on roll call votes
tomorrow and Saturday. Leaders out
lined plans to complete voting on it
shortly after midnight Friday night.
House acceptance of the Senate
changes, especially a three percent
tax on meals, which the Democratic
party platform pledged to remove,
came as somewhat of surprise.
More r an an hour was spent on de-
bate after Representative Bryant, Of
Durham, House finance chairman,
moved for concurrence.
Most of the opposition conferred on
the tax on meals.
If the measure completes the read
ings in the House in its present form,
it will levy new taxes on intangibles,
gifts and wines. It will continue the
three percent sales tax, except for
basic foods, and re-enact most other
present taxes without change.
Inc senate WORKED SLOWLY OH Chc
appropriations bill, boosting allot-
ments to the North Carolina Sana-
forum about $4,000, then recessed to
continue elaboration tonight.
Representative Bryant explained
each of the Senate tax changes in de-
tail.
The House-passed revenue proposal,
he said, lacked about 100000 meeting
general fund expenditures for 1887 to
1898. Senate changes cut the gap to
about 100000 by reductions in taxes
on building materials and chain fill
ing stations, to reduce the estimated
total nv $475,OOO and an addition of
100000 by a three percent tax on
meals.
Thirty-two local bills were quickly
passed as the legislature continued to
keep calendars in good shape.

Raleigh, Feb. 25.-One of the hot
test fights so far witnessed on the
floor of the House was expected to
develop this afternoon when the
small loans bank bill, introduced by
Representative r. T. Pickens of High
Point, comes up for action. For more
than two weeks, lobbyists for the in
dustrial banks and for the "lOan
sharks" have been working against
the bill and have been trying to con-
vince members of the General Assem-
bly, that it is a "loan shark" bill be-
cause it permits the making of loans
at the rate of IL per cent per month
Within The last week or so the in
dustrial hanks have also enlisted the
aid of most of the other banks in the
State in fighting it and this morning
the opponents of the bill were con-
fident they had it beaten.
Good Chance Claimed.
But the proponents of the bill, in
Guiding the State Federation of Labor
and those favorable to labor, who
have been working for the bill, be-

the bill to pass the House today, and
that if it passes the House, it will also

Reviewing the Southern Califor- mia setback, which was due to Ohio State missing two points after touchdown, Coach Francis Schmidt traced the pass play which account ed for hte Trojans' second score. He asked each Buckeye what he had done on the play.
 Each had ready answer.
 Schmidt, who could terrify a bat talion of Japanese, walked away shaking his head, wheeled, and ghOuted:
 q don't understand it. They couldn't have scored. They were all flat on the ground"
 It took place in the southwest, of course. The most unusual things happen in football in Texas.
