amount.
These figures were cited by Repre-
sentative Bryant in the course of the
debate in the House over the section
of the machinery act which would
have granted all property owners a
$500 exemption in listing taxes. 1t
was the contention of Representative
Bryant and others that the General
Assembly had already done as much
as it could afford to relieve taxpay-
ers and that the granting of the $500
exemption would only serve to in
crease local property taxes, in that it
would decrease valuations and hence
make higher tax rates necessary.
The $500 exemption proposal was de-
feated, largely as a result of the fig

Raleigh, March 1.-THE bill intro

Hatch and which stirred up so much
excitement among newspaper owners
and employees has been laid peaceful
ly to rest with the House Committee
en- Propositions and Grievances
Chairman Dave" Dellinger made no
bones about saying that the measure
will be embalmed along with other
dead matter in the committee.
And so the argument about whether
or not it really would have infringed
upon the liberty of the press will
never be settled. Mr.. Hatch claimed
it was not aimed at the press and
said that no legitimate newspaper
should fear it.
Most journalistic circles regarded it

ures cited by Representative Bryant.
But disregarding the amount being
provided for schools and for pensions
for Confederate veterans and their wi
dows, this General Assembly is provid-
ing "relief" amounting to $10,793, 545
the first year and to $9,171 ,622 the
second year, the figures compiled by
Representative Bryant show. These
figures could have been increased $4,-
100000 a year if Representative Bry-
ant had included the 100000 a year
the State will get from the Federal
Government for old age pensions and
aid to dependent children in his fig
ures. But he included only the
amount which willb e expended from
State funds, or 100000 a year. It
is true, of course, that the counties are
to provide 100000 a year of this
amount, but they will get back &c.
100000 a year in State and Federal
funds.
The next largest item of "relief"
given to the poorer classes by this
General Assembly is the amount they
will save as a result of the restora-
ton of the exemptions in the sales tax
saving them at least $2,500OOO a year
as compared to what they are now
paying in sales taxes. Another large
item listed is the $1,5O0,00O set up for
free textbooks the first year, with
none the second year. But it is esti-
mated that the free textbook plan
will save parents of school children
at least 100000 a year, if not more.
The amounts appropriated for the va
rin1IC ;xc 0G L:
learning are not included in these
figures given by Representative Bry-
ant, nor the bond issue of almost 3d.
100000 authorized for additional build
ings at the various charitable, correc-
| tlonal !and YeducatiSnal institutions,
since he did not consider these items
as strictly for the benefit of the poor
er classes or for the relief of the pro-
perty tax payers in the State.

LOS ANGELES. Cal, Aug. '. = Payment of alimony and separate maintenance is reaching the pro- portions of a million dollar an- nual item in Los Angeles County's economic life.
 Court officials estimated today there are more than 100000 divorc- ees and wives on separate mainten- ance in the county, computing from the approximately 13,000 divorces here annually and adding the nu- merous grass widows" who come here from other counties and states. : If the total number is only 100,- 900 = and if only one-fifth, or 20,- 900, receive almony-and fthey receive an average of only $40 a month, the yearly bill would be $9,- 100000, they said.
 i Payments of court-ordered ali- mony handled through a court trustee alone totaled $736,000 last year. The figure for this year may reach $8OO,000, said County Pro- bation Officer K. J. Scudder, the trustee.

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. '. = Ginger Rogers on Hollywood feuds:
 Everybody in Hollywood plays so many jokes and gags, that's how half these feud rumors get started. People on the outside, coming in late or leaving early when a gag is under way, can mis- construe whole incident. It's like catching a movie scene out of sequence. and reading mean ings into it when you haven't read the script.
 Ginger and K. Hepburn, perform ing as co-stars in Stage Doors, " knocking on wood - haven't had trouble. The dope is, how ever that Ginger is wrapping up the picture to take home with her almost as fast as they rewrite the stage play for the sound stages, from day to day Maybe Hep burn will gratify the trouble-seek- CTS by waking up to the fact and starting something, but I doubt if she cares or would show it if she did. =.
