fort was so obvious that no measure
was even introduced.
The league fought for much au-
thorizing municipalities to levy a one
per cent tax on receipts Of telephone
companies for the privilege of using
city streets. It lost.
The league stood out for a provi-
sion in the county option liquor law
definitely giving municipalities a
right to a percentage of profits from
county A. B. c. stores. It sought to
have the proportion of profits def
nitely set in the Statewide bill
The liquor measure, as enacted
gives all profits to the counties,
though thereafter approximately
thirty local bills were passed giving
certain municipalities in certain coun-
ties designated shares of liquor pro-
fits.
The final fight lost by the league
was that waged for enactment Of
the six so-called Ickes or PWA bills,
which would have enabled counties
cities and towns to receive large
sums from the Federal government.
Opposition to these bills came largely
from the power interests of the State
and league officials are unhesitant in
blaming these interests for final de-
feat of the bill, which will result, they
declare, in loss to North Cardinals
municipalities and. counties of some
thing like $10,O0O,OOO they might have
secured from PWA.

March q, 1913 A. D.-The most un-
usual emperor in history, 7O-year-old
Publius Pertinax, was slain by the
Praetorian guard after he had been
the unwilling emperor of the Roman
Empire for six months.
PertinaX, son of a charcOal-burner,
had risen through the political ranks
to a high post when Emperor Com
modus was strangled The Guard
wanted a successor it could control,
forced PertinaX to become emperor.
After they had slain him, too, per-
haps in disgust at his failure to take
advantage of the opportunities offer
ed him, the Guard put the title of
ruler of the world up for auction.
Didius Julianus was high bidder with
$5,000000 and was made emperor. It
cost him about $4,000 a day and his
life to have the title, for he was muir
dered 66 days later.

jects and let other and minor mat
tiers look out for themselves.
What happened this time, many
competent observers believe, is that
each time the league put it's fingers
into particular pie, it made some enc
mics; and b ythe time it had injected
itself into four or five issues it had
so many hostile legislators to face
that its support of a proposal was
hlnderance rather than a help.
This feeling was strikingly exempli-
fled by Representative T. c. Stone, of
Rockingham, who called the NUM-
League the Liberty League of North
Carolina
Here's how the .nague Jared legis-
latively.
1t opposed the States segregating
for Itself the new taxes IN intangib-
'es. In this field it won a half-victory,
the final arrangement being that the
State is to get one-half the receipts
from this source, with the counties
and municipalities dividing the other
half on a proportionate basis accord
ing to ad valorem valuations. AS a
mater of speculation, it is believed
hat municipalities will now receive
about as much from these sources as
they ever Cid, on account of the ex-
pee ted increase in yield
The league sought to have ten per-
cent Of the gasoline tax returned" to
the municipalities, basing this re-
quest On the assertion that approx
mateiy IS pc rcent of the total gaso-
line tax is collected from jewellers in
t&e municipalities.
On this issue the league did moth
ing bcttc~ than keep what it already
had, an a.ll,.,l allowance of $500 900
for use on city 81. ec.s. This half-mil-
lion amounts to approximately two
per cent Of the gasoline sales tax.
The league sought to prevent any
further entertainment by the State in
the fiell of Schedule "S; license taxes
and was more or less successful, the
State taking exclusive right of taxa
ton only in the case of real estate
auctioneers and reducing the city's
rights to tax in a fewer minor in
stances.
Under league auspices brand-new
foreclosure law was introduced, a plan
which league officials claimed would
eliminate much confusion in the pre-
sent law and which would simplify
it no little.
This bill was killed by the House,
in which it was introduced by Mr.. AL
len and others.
The league advocated Statewide
law enabling cities and towns to set
up pension systems for retired NUM-
cipal employees. It commended that
these employees a"e not included in the
general social scu:.y program and
that, therefore, there should be Sc
parate plan for taking care of them.
A measure establishing such plan
was killed.
The league has for years fought for
exemption of counties, cities and
towns from payment of the State gas
cline tax on gasoline used for munich
pal purposes. At the late session of
the assembly defeat for such an eff

dents, except for one or two places
which hang on and still attract pale
face clientele . The night clubs of
the sepia section still have a hard
and fast rule, which is enforced ri
gorously: single males or groups of
men are not admitted to the swing
salons :. Each man must have his
girl-friend with him. The rule, once
established, avoided much trouble in
the pre-dawn merrymaking hours, al
