BY HENRY AVERILL.

Raleigh, March 23.-ApprOXimate-
ly a dozen counties sought, and won,
exemption from funeral directors
commission" bill yesterday after
Haywoods Senator Chester Cogburn
made one of the bitterest and most
vigorous of his many attacks on
"monopolistic commissions"
During his assault the Haywood
man charged that practically all the
commissions set up to regulate this,
that and the other industry, trade
and profession in North Carolina are
nothing more or less than "rackets'
of the most vicious type.
'The only difference between these
monopolistic boards down here and
the rackets up North is that up there
they enforce their demands with ma
chine guns and stink bombs, while
down here we make them legal and
force the people to submit 20 paying
tribute by enacting a law to make
them do So" he said.
Debate on the measure was all
technically on a Cogburn amend
ment to exempt Haywood, Transyl-
vania, Jackson, Cabarrus, Watauga,
Allegheny, Ashe and perhaps a few
others was pointed and vigorous.
Wakes Senator Lyn Ballentine,
who sponsored the bill and led the
fight for its adoption without amend
ment interrupted Cogburn time after
time to engage in repartee which
grew rather warm at times.
Ballentine at one point declared he
is ready, for his part, to ''give Hay
wood to Tennessee; to- which Cog
burn replied that so far as he is con-
cerned he would be willing to give
Wake back to the Indians if the dis
tinguished senator wants it that
way"
The Cogburn amendments carried
by a heavy margin, but the bill it.
self won on a roll call vote, 35 to 3.

gether with farm machinery and
equipment for the curing Of tobacco.

Without citing him as unimpeach-

Department of Agriculture said Of
1913: "It suits everybody l know of

Unbiased observers predict, how
ever, that there is sufficient anti
department strength in the House to
prevent passage of 1913, though it
