weather when the President swears
tomorrow noon before cheering thou
sands ito preserve, protect and. defend
the Constitution
Although the crowds were gayer
than at the dramatice Inauguration
during the 1888 banking crisis, much
of the traditional pageantry was miss
ing at this first January indication
in history.
One reason was the Presidents re-
quest for simplicity and the decision
to limit the parade to military units
and State governors.
Mr.. Roosevelt made few engage
ments today, in order to complete
his inaugural address. An impression
was abroad that his speech would be
one of stock-taking and conservation
afresh to Democratic ideals
At the Capitol, where Inauguration
heretofore has found "lame duck"
Congress in noisy death throes, the
Senate and House prepared quietly to
give Mr.. Roosevelt authority to con-
tinue his monetary policies.

FINANCE HEARINGS
GAIN THREE WEEKS
But Haven't Struck Contro-
versial Issues in Revenue
Bill AS Yet
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
By j. G.. RASk ERVILL

Raleigh, Jan. 19-The finance COM
mittees are at least three weeks
ahead of their usual schedule in their
work on the new revenue BILL Chair
man Victor S. Bryant, Of the House
group, said today. Public hearings
are already under way and many sec
approved by the committee None of
the highly controversial sections of
the bill have been reached as yet,
however.
The joint committees will hear rep
resentatives of the North Carolina
Fair Tax Association in opposition to
the sales tax section of the revenue
bill on Wednesday afternoon at 2:3O
Chairman Bryant said. The Fair Tax
Association is regarded as being the
most bitter anti-sales tax organiza-
tion in the State and is composed for
the most part of merchants who are
very bitterly opposed to the sales tax
and who do not believe that the
North Carolina Merchants Associa-
ton has fought the tax intensely
enough. In spite Of the objections of
the tax association to the sales tax,
as we'll as the objections of the North
Carolina Merchants Association, the
belief is that the finance committees
will retain the three per cent sales
tax in the revenue bill, but with the
exemptions restored on the basic
food articles, such as were in the
law prior to 1885. It is also expected
to remove the sales tax from meals
in hotels and restaurants.
Whether the finance committees
can maintain the speed they have
been showing SO far remains rather
doubtful, however, since a good many
members fear that when the commit
tees start their consideration of the
new taxes proposed, especially the
tax on intangibles, including money
in banks, cash value of insurance
policies, solvent credits, and so forth
they are going to hit snag. There
are also indications that a concerted
effort will be made to increase the
income tax rates on both individuals
and corporations, as a result of the
enactment of the constitutional amend
ment permitting the General Assem-
bly, to increase income tax limits up
to ten per cent.

their electricity wholesale from pri
vate power companies and then re-
tail it at high rates to domestic users
there are only eight which have re-
tail domestic rates anywhere near in
line with the domestic rates of the
privately-owned power companies, a
schedule of rates obtained today from
the State Utilities Commission shows.
These eight cities and towns, with the
rates they now charge per 100 kilo-
watts, together with the rate per 100
kilowatt hours charged by hte private
power companies in their territory
are as follows:

CITIES AGAIN SEEK
FUND FROM STATE
Foes See New Raid on Road
Money; Cities Claim
Title to Aid
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel,

By De u. BASENFkt I'LL
Raleigh, Jan. 19-City officials,
gathered here for the legislative SEES
sion of the North Carolina League of
Municipalities, made another move in
their efforts to have the State main
tain their city streets when they ask
ed for an appropriation of $1,400,00
from highway funds to be spent by
them solely at their own discretion
and upon whatever street projects
they please.
In the budget an appropriation of
$5O0,00O is approved to be expended
in maintenance Of State highways
within city limits, this sum to be
spent either by direction Of the State
Highway Commission or with it's con-
sent if the project originates with the
city officials.
Opponents of diversion of funds
from highway department see in the
municipal leagues action another raid
on the States funds and another eff
fort of the cities to shift cost of their
own streets to the shoulders of the
State. These pponents are determined
to fight any such proposal to the
death and profess to see little chance
for the municipal group.
On the other hand, the city officials
contend that by far the heaviest taxes
are paid by city jewellers and point to
the fact that even in case of the gas
oline levy city folks pay more than
three-quarters of the taxes. Therefore
they affirm, the State should turn
back to them at least a large percent
age of the sums paid in by those who
live in cities.
The leagues action is another move
in a long-standing controversy, but
never before have the figures offer
ed and demanded been quite so fa1

enue, and with these cities and towns
using from 10 per cent to 100 per cent
OF the rates charged to increase their
local revenues in lieu of other taxes
many members of both houses here
are becoming more and more inclined
to the belief that these city-owned
electric systems can easily afford to
pay the State franchise tax of six
per cent on their gross receipts.

State having their own municipality

Jaw Universally Defisd

Law Universally Defied
The lawyers committee Of the
American Liberty League long ago
advised employers to ignore this
law, insisting 1t was unconstitution-
al, and 1t has been almost univer-
sally defied. ~
Employer lawyers headed BY
John w. Davis and Earl r. Reed
Of the Liberty League have at
tackled the act before the supreme
court on Q variety Of constitution
al grounds. u r. alleged the act
does not fail within the powers
Of Congress 10 regulate interstate
commerce because: employer re-
lations with employees are not
matters Of inteFstate commerce;
the majority rule provision Of the
act violates freedom Of contract;
the Constitutions due process"
clause h violated; the act 10 Gag
bitrary and unreasonable; the.
act Is . labor law and not . reg
ulation Of interstate commerce;
enforcement Of the act constitutes
an unlawful interference with the
normal right Of business concerns
to manage their own businesses.
The United Press also charges the
act violates freedom Of the press
to select its own employees.
The court might hold the act was
unconstitutional as 1t applied TO
manufacturing, and constitutional
as 1t applied to an employer more
obviously engaged In interstate
commerce, such as a business COM
pany.
Denies Congress- Power
1t is Of tremendous importance to
the New Deal that It be upheld In
Its insistence on the right to pass
legislation covering manufacturing.
Manufacturing Is involved I'm
three Of the five cases; but such
recent majority opinions ~ tend
70 bear on this issue are not en-
cOuraging. In the railroad retire.
nent opinion the court held the
purpose Of the retirement law was
10 promote the social welfare Of
the railroad workers and that
there was no proper federal func-
ton In the Schechter decision
which ended MIRA. The court
unanimously held Congress had
no power 70 regulate wages or
hours in any business which was
local In the Guf9ey Coal Act
case the majority held that emf
ployment and fixing hours, wages
and working conditions were re-
lated to production, not to COM
merce, and that hence, Congress
had no power In such matters.
Government arguments Of the
Wagner Act have stressed the bur-
den and injury to interstate COM
merce resulting from Industrial
strife and insisted that Congress
thus had power to take measures
to reduce such strife; and In the
cases affecting manufacturing It
says, as In the Jones d Laughiin
case, that there is vast inter-
state movement In the regular
course OF business Of materials to
respondents plant In Aliquippa,
such as coal, ore, and limestone, de-
rived from respondents own pro-
perties and largely carried in In
terstate commerce by instrumental
tiles owned and operated by It," II
the court performs as 1t often does,
some OF Its members will find words
TO explain why Congress had no
right to pass such a law and other
members Will find other words to
explain why it did.
