SPEED-Representative r. Gregg
Cherry of CASTOR, chairman Of the
House finance committee, and Sena-
tor Harriss Newman, of New Han
over, chairman Of the Senate money
consideration of the biennial revenue
group, sought to speed committee
consideration of the biennial revenue
bill, but they ran into the same thing
that as held other General Assem-
blies in session observation-disclosures
of opinion. And you can't rush man
away from his own ideas, at least
it hasn't been done in the finance
committee.

GOVERNOR-The guesses are still
going around in Raleigh as to who
will be a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor next
year. One week the news is that Con-
gresham r. L. Doughton will run
and the next week the grapevine re-
ports that he will not choose to be a
candidate. But few people doubt that
Clyde R. Hoey. Shelby Democratic
silver-tonguer, and Lieutenant Cover
nor A. H. SANDY Graham are going
to try for the honor. At all odds, a
good time is likely to be had by one
and all.

AUTO TAGS It's now recognized
as a foregoing conclusion that auto
mobile license tags are going to be
cheaper when you decorate the ma
hogany of the State Revenue Depart
ment next January. The Joint roads
committee of House and Senate have
already agreed upon reducing the
rate per hundredweight from 55 cents
to 40 cents with a minimum tag cost
ing SO instead of $3.50. BY the time
you read this the bill may become law
by passage through the General As
senbly.

LOBBYISTS-Raleigh was a bit
shy on lobbyists before the introduce
ton of the Acknowledgements plan
as substitute for the sales tax. But
the number of gentle persuaders
picked up Immediately thereafter.
And the boys are settling down with
their-own opinion that tax matters
will not be settled until the gavels
fall on sine die adjournment of the
1885 Legislature.

There were less than 80 gridiron
fatalities during the past session, as
compared with SO in1931, SO in 1882
and 36 in 1888.

NOT so FAST-People who would

Of various and sundry causes are not
getting along so well with the pres
ent General Assembly. Probably that
is because many members live on
secondary roads that have created a
financial surplus by a maintenance
deficit. At any rate the Legislature
lost no time appropriating 100000
for immediate repair and improve
ment of roads of the State.

KNOWS SCHOOLS Legislato,

KNOWS SCHOOLS Legislators
are generally agreed that Senator
Lloyd Griffin, of Chowan, knows his
schools. Senator Griffin was chairman
of the Senate education committee
that drafted the first eight months
school machinery law in 1888 and
heads the same committee. this ses-
sion. The manner in which he an
swers questions regarding the State
supported scools is a marvel to many
interested Lawmakers.

LOW DOWN-News is seepin g
down from Washington that the AAA
is not so hot for legislation control
ling the production of potatoes. Tar
Heels and other representatives Of
potato-producing States put the bee
on the AAA boys but it now appears
that Secretary Wallace's crowd put
one over on the potato men. They
drafted bill that bids fair to CLASH
fly many potato farmers as criminals
if they violate technical provisions
of the act: Congressman Lindsay
Warren has promised to look after
North Carolina potato men with the
proper amendments before the bill
becomes law.

THROUGH STATE
CAPITAL KEYHOLES
By BEss HINTON SILVER

ss :
NEEDED The federal govern
ment is getting ready to spend about
four billion dollars in relief work in
cooperation with the 48 States. But
the States must set up machinery to
conform with federal regulations be-
fore sharing in the benefits. So far
North Carolina has done nothing to
get in line for its share in this gigan-
tic program. It's time the boys in the
Legislature were up and doing.
TUBERCULOSIS has been
some doubt about whether the State
should enlrage the present tubercular
hospital in the Sand Hills or con-
struct a new unit in the mountain
section of the State. During debate
no private tubercular sanitorium in
on the matter it was brought out that
the world is as large as the present
State unit. It was also established
tht some patients recover in one eli
mate and lose ground in another. AS
result it now appears that if any,
thing is done it probably will be au-
thirzation for construction of a new
hospital for the treatment of tuber-
culosis.
A SNAG-The Mcdonald Lumpkin
anti-sales tax bloc was getting along
swimmingly until the question of
taxing individuals making over 81 1000
annually was reached. That Glass be-
ing. rather large and already paying
numerous taxes, considerable noise
was raised. The final outcome is still
uncertain. If you earn more than
81 900 gross income per year and do
not pay schedule B. license taxes it
might be well to look into the matter.
SENATOR-Fo Form r Lieutenant
Governor r. T. Fountain, of Rocky
Mount, has announced that he intends
to oppose Senator Josiah w. Bailey,
of Raleigh, in the primaries next
year. Governor Ehringhaus has been
specialized upon as potential can
didate but since the General Assem-
bly, has been in session he has been
so busy with affairs of State that
little mention has been made of the
possibility of him running. Neverthe-
less, many of his friends are still
putting the pressure upon the Cover
nor. They think he would look well
in a Senatorial toga.

U. B. F.'s and s. M. Us PLAN
ACTIVITY

The u. B. F. and S. M. It's of
the Twin Cities plan a big frater-
nal year, according to lodge and
temple officers. National Grand
Master, H. C. Russell, left the Twin
City organizations of the u. B. F.
and S. M. It's highly jubilant over
the new plans and arrangements in
augurated by his visit here. 1t is
significant to the public that these
organizations are taking steps for
ward in the field of frsteRnalism:
Definite plans are under way for
the organization pf p mems lodge
in st. Paul and: development Of. a
juvenile department in the Twin
Cities, also a membership campaign
which will make it possible for for
mer members of these organiza-
tions of other sections of the coun-
try who reside in the Twin Cities
to line up and invite new members,
also.
The unusual feeling of good viii
existing between the two cities in
these organizations is due largely
to the vision of splendid co-opera-
ton exhibited by the deputy prin-
cess, Mrs. Naomi Thomas of st,
Paul, and the number of loyal
women in both cities who have
shown their interest by following
her leadership.
