ings. 1t was said the companies fre-
quently draw the plans for the re-
placing structure instead of 1eav-
ing that expense and trouble to the
State road commissions.
In 1888 several States required
the railroads by law to pay some-
times as much as 5 per cent of the
cost of eliminating crossings. Now,
the bureau said, no involuntary
contributions from the railroads
can be accepted.
An Interstate Commerce Com
mission survey in 1896 reported
$4,000 grade crossings at points
on the more than 5000, 900 miles of
railroad in the United States at
that time. In 1887 the number of
crossings had been reduced to 232,-
322. Mr.. Royal said this figure
could not be regarded as q true
measure of the situation, since the
survey counted thousands of miles
of track that invade the most re-
mote and untraveled sections,
where hundreds of crossings exist
that never have and possibly never
will sustain an accident.
1885 Projects Under Way.
Since 1888. $500 crossing projects
have been approved and partially
financed by public roads authorities.
1t was explained that the individual
States put additional funds to
amounts appropriated by the Fed
eral agency. In the last nine years.
1902 crossings have been eliminated
or reconstructed, while at present
there are about 7s5 projects under
way.
The Bates road NE. crossing,
where four persons have been killed
in three years, will have been cor
rected January, 1910, according to

A $222,433 overpass of steel REIN
forced concrete. TOO feet long, is
nearly completed on the line of Tay-

T. V. Upchurch, of Raeford, was

of growers, ginners, seed crushers and
cotton merchants. Vice chairmen were
named as follows: c. A. Johnson, of

Evans, of Charlotte, a ginner. f. !.
Beatty of Charlotte, a warehouseman

The council idea was sponsored by
c.. A. Johnston, of Mississippi. one
of the biggest cotton growers in the

Board member, who is expected to
come to Raleigh sometime this spring
to deliver an address. The organiza-

the total budget the unit formed here
today is expected to provide $500.
Tentative plans provide for raising
this fund by voluntary assessment oe
perhaps half cent bale on growers,
ginners, warehousemen, and nner-
chants, and a small levy on cotton
seed crushed. Participation in the pro
gram will be entirely voluntary.
The research and educational pro-
gram of the council has been approx

in and out of government service.
The unit set up here today is expected
to begin a campaign before crop

Raleigh, Jan. 1.-THE bill introduce
OF Montgomery, removing the exemp-
ton from certain State franchise
taxes of farmer-owned cooperative
stores, really is aimed at another
matter, according to the sponsor of
the measure, who admits that he may
have to offer an amendment to his
own measure to reach his goal.
What he is shooting at, rather than
the established mutual exchange, with
fixed and known place of business,
is the custom of some county agents
and agricultural teachers in going a.
round through the community MAX
ing up. cooperative shipments of seeds,
feeds, lime and fertilizer materials.
Senator Bruton is a farm supply
merchant at Mount Gilead and ne has
to pay the varied franchise, privilege
and property taxes levied against the
average merchant. He also has to earn
a living out of his business. He and
other merchants in like situation are
much worried by competition that IS
exempt from many of the taxes which
he must pay. @
Willard L. Dowell, secretary of the
State Merchants Association, inform-
ed Senator Bruton this morning that
his association would put it's full
force behind the bill. That is no mean
support for any measure. Opposition
to the bill may not be SO well organi-
zed, but will be more largely repre-
sented on the floor of the General As
sembly. The opposition also will have
support of the Farm Bureau and the
Grange in the general principles of
the measure. These. last two organiza-
tons will become very. active if the
Montgomery senator decides to in
clude in his law the activities of coun-
ty agents and teachers and other farm
workers in making up car-lot coop

bills than all the ITO legislators

He then plunged into a discussion
of the first schedule of the bill, the

Sub Committee Named
The first hitch came in a section
devoted to the inheritance tax on the
proceeds of insurance policies where
the premium has been paid by any
person other than the insured him
self It was a highly technical point
of construction, with everybody ap-
parently agreed on what is wanted
but in considerable disagreement
over how to word the section.
To wind it up, subcommittee was
authorized and the committee passed
on to other things.
Appropriations Discussed
While the finance group was get
ting under way, the joint appropria-
tons committee was meeting in an
adjoining room, with Senator w. B.

Senate side. The combination sounds
unlucky. 1t probably will be for
those who seek to increase the
amount in the next biennium.
