morning story that the governor
would appear before a joint session,
if invited, and explain his position.
But it he wants to get the matter
clear, why doesn't he come before a
legislative committee, so we can ask
him questions? In formal session we
can do nothing but sit back and lis

good showing for his cause, if he is
protected from interruption or cues

The governors suggestion that he
might take his case for diversion Of
seven million dollars from the high
way fund to the legislature in person
is the first instance since his inau-
guration two years ago that he has
been placed on the defensive. It is;
tacit admission on part of pro-diyer-
sionists that the press and radio cam
paign of the opposition has so arous-
ed public sentiment as to call for
drastic action. The ants have had

Victory OF Louis

Hendersonians will be particularly
interested in a large handsomely
bound anthology of American poetry
which has recently been given to the
library. Important American Poets
edited by Edith Warren, contains
three poems by Miss Martha Everett,
a home town girl now living in Emil
adelphia. Miss Everett's friends who
ENJOY listening to her sing on her
visits to Henderson will want to read
these poems which evince so clearly
another talent. A biogra phical note
states that Miss Everett is singer
with the Philadelphia Grand Opera
Co. Her poems have appeared in sew
eral anthologies. She is now at work
on narrative poem of American His
.orv.
The library has also received two
gifts in scientific fields. THE Ad-
vance of Science" by Watson Davis,
outlines the extent to which knowl-
edge has now advanced in the major
fields of scientific endeavor Dis
covery, the Spirit and Service Of

accomplishing as much as bare news
stories of their meetings would in
dictate.
Two or three prospective sources
of additional revenue have already
been abandoned actually if not theo-
retically. It is virtually certain that
there will be no tipping of tuition
charges for State students; the rail-
roads are almost sure to get some re-
duction in the tax proposed to be col
lected from them; and sales tax es-
Inmates are based upon an anticipated
fifty-million dollar increase in retail
sales, an estimate believed by many
legislators to be too high. Counties are
resisting heavier ABC store levies on
the one hand, and demanding greater
share of the intangibles tax receipts
on the other.
Some strong anti-diversionists ad-
NIT that they can see no other source
for money to balance the budget than
the highway fund, unless appcopria-
tons are materially cut. This posi-
ton gives color to the suggestion
made exclusively in this correspond
ence, that there is ar. pHder-cover SEN
timent for compromise, whereby rea-
sonable diversion will be permitted
