amount that was consumed IN
North Carolina last lear, according
to figures compiled by the State De-

Jackson Says Law Not
Dead Science

WASHINGTON, F e b. 1.-lF-
Disagreement over Interpretation
Ct the United States constltutlon
was described by Chief Justice
Hughes today as "a token OF vita
lity."
He spoke on a program CONNIE
morating the first meeting OF the
supreme court $50 years ago, a1ter
Attorney General Robert H. jack
son asserted that Flaw must be re-
viewed and rewritten in terms OF
current conditions if it is not to be
a dead science"
The ceremony in tho supreme
court chamber was attended by
members of the senate and house
judiciary committees and by a n
gressional committee appointed to
arrange the celebration. Rep. Bloom
(D-N. W was chairman.
Intense Public Interest
Chief Justice Hughes said that
sometimes the court faces questions
Of intense public interest, dividing
the opinion of lawyers as well as
laymen."
However serious the division OF
opinion" he added, these cases
must be decided. It should occasion
no surprise that there should be
acute differences If opinion on diff
ficult questions Of constitutional
law when in every other field OF
human achievement, in art, theolo-
gy,- and even on the highest levels
Of scientific research, there r ex-
pert disputants.
1.-THE more weighty the question:
the more serious the debate. the
more likely is the opportunity for
honest and expert disagreement.
This is a token of vitality. 1t is
fortunate and not regrettable that
the avenues of criticism are open
to all whether they denounce or
praise. This is a vital part of the
democratic process.
1.-THE essential thing is that the
independence, the fearlessness. the
Impartial thought and conscientious
motive of those who decide should
both exist and be recognized
The chief justice said the Ameri
car people have again and again
evinced the sound instinct which
leads them, regardless Of any spe
cial knowledge of legal matters, tc
cherish as their priceless possession
the judicial institutions which safe
guard the reign of law as opposed
to despotic will"
Democracy" he continued, "is q
most hopeful way OF life, but its
promise of liberty and of human
betterment will be but idle words
save as the ideals of justice, not
only between man and man, but be-
tween government and citizen, are
held supreme"

Wednesday your Raleigh report
er was talking things over just
casually with Tom and learned
that the two items were written
practically simultaneously - both
typed about 3 p. m. Tuesday. They
had not met Tuesday, nor had eth
er seen anyone that day who said
anything about Libby Ward or his
prospects.
Yet apparently out of thin air
the same idea occurred to both at
almost exactly the same time.
Skipping back to the democratic
state committee meeting, it seems
more likely there will be lengthy
discussion over establishment of
permanent party headquarters than
over the convention date. The COM
mittee has been mulling the idea
over intermittently for some years.
Also there is quite likely to be
something definite to report about
the Ward intentions after the COM
mittee session. Libby is secretary
and will quite naturally be in the
forefront of discussion. He will I'M
doubtedly sound out his colleagues
on their attitude toward him as a
candidate for governor and it may
be he'll arrive at some decision.

ions for agriculture will be called
to account at election time, Presi-
dent Edward A. O'Neal Of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
stated last night.
O'Neal criticized the house ap-

mending a 81 per cent cut in ap-
preparations carried in the agricul-
ture department supply bill.
He %contended the committee ap-
parently was determined to "econo-
mize at the expense of agriculture"
and said that any reduction in farm
income twill be multiplied many
fold in reduced national income,
more unemployment, reduced fed
eral tax returns and lowered ma
tional morale"
IF that is to be the policy on

Revenue Chief Says
Diversion Unlikely

RALEIGH, Feb. 1.-R-Revenue
Commissioner A. J. Maxwell said
that if better business con-
ditions continued in the state it was
altogether unlikely" that North
Carolina would have to divert money
from the state highway fund to the
general fund.
The last legislature provided that
if necessary $2,5oO,o00 a year could
be transferred from the highway to
the general fund this fiscal year
and each year of the next biennium.
The commissioners report showed
that tax collections in January to-
tailed 1929, 645.33, or 1852 per cent
more than January, 1889.

BY HENRY AVERILL

RALEIGH, Feb. 1. Supreme
Court Justice Heriot Clarkson does
little mixing or mingling in poll
tics. That doesn't become a supreme
court justice and the lively oldster
from M~ecklenburg measures up to
the standard.
He does feel justified, however, in
observing that the plentitude of
candidates for governor Of North
Carolina is a healthy sign.
"It's fine for the state to have
so many good men to choose FROM"
said Justice Clarkson. "Just like
it's fine to have a lot of horses on
the race track"
He pointed to the long list of can
didates as proving that North Caro-
lima isn't controlled by any group
or clique like they are in Louis
lana"
It will be only a few days before
Raleigh's J. M. Broughton selects
his state manager, although it may
be longer than that before there
is official announcement Of that
fact.
A curious newspaper man, anx-
ious to ''pick'' the candidate, if pos
sible, asked Mr.. Broughton if re-
ports that you will have Walter
Lambeth for your manager are
true?"
Broughton parted with a count
er-query which may or may not be
significant: He'd De a strong one,
wouldn't he?"
So far there has been no real
inkling Of what the democratic
state committee will do at it's meet
ing Friday-except fix the date OF
the state convention for some time
in May. The question is whether or
not there will be any real organlz'
ed opposition to Governor Hoey's
suggestion. There is plenty Of scat

no evidence that it has crystalllzeo
