Protest LOWERING
Of Relief Level
Pushing Of Planned Work
Urged BY Cdnadian
Labor

Ottawa QLNS).-The fact that the
cost of unemployment relief is now
less than in 1887 while unemployment
is eight per cent greater showed the
increasing severity of the various
government restrictions on the dis
bursement Of relief, and means that
the unemployed were being forced to
a standard of living which made
physical decay inevitable.
This was part of a protest against
lowering the standards of relief made
by delegation Of the Trades and La
Dor Congress of Canada in an inter-
view with Prime Minister Mackenzie
King and members of his cabinet.

stead amendment carried all the 9TH
ers through to victory, ne charged;
declaring that the people would
never have voted more Judges ana
lower rates on intangible property,
without the sop" Of homestead eX-
emptions. Simple honesty demands
that the General Assembly heed that
mandate.
Representative Frank Taylor, of
Wayne. bore the brunt of the oppo-
sition to the exemption. He pleaded
for counties and cities and towns,
whose tax structures would be
knocked haywire by exemption OF
any such large block of taxable val
uation Besides, the vote in 1886 was
not a mandate but mere PERMISSION,
and the assembly was not bound by
it unless the judgment of the men,
bers agreed that exemption were
wise.
Mr.. Bryant pointed out that COM
parisor between North Carolina and
other states was not fair, since North
Carolina was already doing a great
deal more for its common people
than any other State in the way of
free services. Roads, schools, health
work are now free. The State just
cannot possibly go on indefinitely
giving everything for nothing. Mr.
Page, of Bladen, admitted that he
campaigned for the amendment in
1886 but that the situation was dit
ferent in 1899. Between those dates
social security had come along to
take care of the poorer and aged peo-
pie and to raise property tax rates.
He thinks the exemption now I'M
wise.
Mr.. Cherry knew certainly now
that he was doWn-but he wasn't
out. He moved the previous ques-
ton and called for the ayes and noes.
Twenty men stood up. Speaker Ward
ruled that an insufficient number, as
lO4 members had voted on the last
roll call and one-fifth was required.
Cherry demanded poll Of the house
to see if more than hundred were
present Speaker Ward instructed the
sergeant at arms to see that mem
bers stayed in the hall, but did not
say anything about keeping others
from coming in. While the roll call
was in progress four members came
in, for total of 105 and the motion
was declared lost. Finally on the
viva voce vote, Cherry demanded a
division although it was obvious that
he badly outvoted, and the count
was 70 to "a Which raised the fur
Their question of whether he might
not demand a roll call on the basis
of 81 rather than on los. All told
the scrapping and the voting and the
double checking occupied about two
hours of the houses time.

The amendment itself was rather
long and its language necessarily
somewhat involved, so in presenting
it the Gastonian warned the House
that this is the much discussed
