"This will enable the labor COM
missioner to help protect the in
terests of farmers and laoorers as
we'll and eliminate dishonest or in
competent contractors who cause
unrest among farm laborers by
their actions. These contractors
often collect large sums of money
from growers, then leave for parts
unknown without paying off the
laborers. This causes loss to the
farmer as he must make good the
loss of wages"
Deputy Cue requests all growers
and shippers to cooperate with
the labor department in requiring
all farm labor contractors to pro-
duce a state license before enter
ing into the performance of such
contracts in the future.
This week in justice court at Ell

A. S. Sarkisian, to 30 days in the
county Jail and to pay fine of
$40 for operating as a farm labor

icl lCultu uylnS.
Codona, 43. the only man who
could do the thrilling triple somer-
sault in the air when he was at
his peak with the Ringing circus,
met his 31-year-o old estranged wife,
Mrs. Vera Bruce Codona, in a
lawyers office yesterday to wind
nlip property settlement.
He asked the lawyer to step out
and locked the door on Mrs. Codo-
ma and her mother.
With a hand as steady as when
he gripped the flying rings high
over the circus sawdust, he handed
Mrs. Codona a cigarette, and light
ed it for her.
well, Vera. this is all you have
left for me to do he said, and
pulled out an automatic pistol
Four times he fired at his former
wife pointblank. The fifth bullet
he sent through his head.
Codona died instantly. His wife
WAS shot through the jaw, breast,
and abdomen. She lay on the floor
and moaned for her pet dog while
her mother, Mrs. Annie Bruce,
managed to unlock the door and
admit the lawyer, hammering in
alarm from outside.
The conference in Attorney
James E. Pawson's office late yes
terday was over the division of
only a few sentimental trinkets,
but it was to have wound up a do
mestic tragedy that began after a
fall robbed Codona of his place as
the worlds premier trapeze artist.
In 1888 Codona fell go feet from
q swing while performing with the
Ringing circus in Boston. He had
fallen into the safety net hundreds
of times before, but this time he
missed and struck the steel cable
at the edge. One shoulder was
crushed.

WORKS-REL|EF.| IS
RAPIDLY ON WAVE
Great Cry Now, However,
Is 1t Must Not Play Out
Entirely
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COiumniSt

Washington, March 15- Federal
works-relief is frazzling out rapidly
as anyone can see.
1t frazzles faster than private in
dustry is re-absorbing the unemploy-
ed.
Hence the increasing volume of out
cry that it must not be permitted to
play out completely
Unemployment, many authorities
say, is certain to be what they call a
longtime problem'-maybe an ever
lasting one. Personally l doubt that
1t will be everlasting, insofar as en-
ployables are concerned However, it
is a problem yet
A DIFFERENCE
A distinction is to be drawn be-
tween genuine Work-relief and plain
relief-in other words, as to the latter
a slight disguised dole: charity
work-relief plan contemplates the
employment of employables in really
worthwhile tasks. Building a new
postoffice where one is needed would
so classify. Protection against floods
would classify similarly on a larger
scale.
OUSH C1IlpiOy IHcIlC Is CONSTRUCTIVE.
1t is improving to communities, or to
the country.
Work for relief's sake only is a diff
ferent proposition. Digging a hole in
the ground and then shoveling the
dirt back in is work, but obviously
it is valueless, uneconomic. 1t is
made work. as the socialists express
it. 'Boondoggling" is the term we
describe it by now. No "boondoggler"
can be expected to feel any proper
Self-respect in his job He cannot but
realize that he is an OBJECT of charity.
QUICK ACTION WORK
"Boondoggling" has one thing to be
said in it's favor:
In an emergency it furnishes quick
action. Supplying a man with rake or
a spade does not take long or involve
any considerable investment beyond
his pay. And maybe he does not feel
that he is the recipient of an outright
dole.
But new building or a flood con-
troll project requires architectural and
engineering skill, and financial APP
propriations-in advance.
A big new federal building, illus
tratively, calls for the preparation Of
plans and the accumulation of much
material, but these demands are not
Immediate; they seep on down. 1t is
indirect.
Basic labor gets the benefit pretty
soon; superficial labor only gradually.

81 against and only Is for a $500
homestead exemption. The roll call
was upon an amendment offered by
Representative Walter Murphy, Ro-
wan, and others to the tax machinery
bill.
At last falls general election con-
stitutional amendment was adopted
giving the legislature power to exempt
homesteads up to $1,000 in value. AS
a result of this vote (the power to
exempt was favored in "a of the
states 100 counties) it has been con-
tended time and again that the peo-
pie have spoken and the legislators
were duty bound to give an exemp-
ton.
Conditions Have Changed
Judging from the arguments made
in the House during debate on the
Murphy amendment, most solons felt
that conditions have changed so dras-
tically from last fall that the vote of
November cannot now be taken as the
guiding star to follow. They pointed
out (for purpose of alibi if nothing
else) that an unexpected ad valorem
tax has been levied to take care of
VIC OOOAdA 0ONOAACy ~ W CAAAA' AAAAOt
they commended, makes it impossible
for the counties to stand the loss of
values which would naturally follow
in the wake of exemption.
Some lawmakers, however, based
their objection to the exemption on
what many believe to be firmer
ground. They oppose exemptions on
principle and did not attempt to hide
behind smoke screen of social Sc
curity. They fatty adopted the ideas
advocated by the North Carolina AS
ISOLATION of County Commissioners
and took the stand that exemption of
real property would be almost ruinous
to many counties of the state while it
would not bring any real benefit to
anybody.
Proponents of exemptions paid
scant attention to any argument re-
garding the soundness of the plan,
contenting themselves with the thesis
that exemptions were demanded by
the people by last Novembers vote
on the constitutional amendment
Religious Property Exempted
At the same session the House
struck out committee amendment to
the original machinery bill which
would have taxed income-bearing pro-
perty of religious, charitable and edu-
cational organI.a tions.
Abe amendment was very weak, to
begin with. It would have made no
change whatever in the present me-
thod of taxing-or rather the present
plan of exempting the property
of these religious, charitable and edu-
cational organizations until 1899; thus
providing sufficient delay for the next
biennial legislative session to wipe out
anything done by this one.
Proponents Of the committee plan
pleaded that exemp ing this income
producing real estate amounts in eff
feet to taxing other land owners for
the benefit of the exempted organi-
cations. They also pointed out, nam
ing by name the Odd Fellows Build
ing in Raleigh, instances in which the
exemption is used as a cloak to pro-
test the real owners Of the property
who often are bondholders who have
10 real interest in the organization be-
hind whose name they hide.
There was no record vote on this
amendment, though a standing divi-
sion was called when Speaker Gregg
Cherry said he could not determine
whether the ayes" or the "Noes" had
it.
