POLITICAL FORMULA

G044 4S<AA1 = VIM 4AkA
Well. the political crystal gaz-
ers are at it again and guberna-
torial dope sheets are beginning
to circulate in ever increasing
number. Simple souls, inclined
to place confidence in such prog
nostications will find the follow
ing formula helpful in forming an
intelligent opinion
Take the names of all candi-
dates listed on the various sheets,
add a dozen or so of your own,
mix thoroughly as you slowly stir
in several tablespoonfuls of ba-
mana oil and a large COB of salt.
Permit the mess to simmer in
your mind for awhile then sea-
son with thinly sliced boloney
and apple-sauce, garnish with the
patter of the gum-shoe boys and
bar flies, add a dash of street
corner biah and barber-shop bosh.
Then you take a deep breath,
hold your nose and make three
guesses-w wait a minute or two
and if a man answers, hang up,
you've probably got the wrong
number.
But as folks seem to like guess
ing games and I don't know any
more about it than the next guy
and probably not as much, I as
sumo it would be right and prop
er for me to drag out a turban.

ton to your mental delinquency.

LEGISLATORS Will Not

tainlv that affecting unemployment
compensation, must be rewritten.
Federal employees from Washing
ton were on hand to lobby for num-
Der of measures pending in the re-
gular session of the 1887 legislature,
and many members felt that they
were being pressed too hard to vote
for bills not entirely suited to condl-
tions in North Carolina. Came then
the special session last summer at
which in Just one weeks time the
State was committed to the expendi-
ture of eight million dollars for pub
lie buildings. Some of the members
who voted for these bond issues won-
der now if they were entirely wise
and if the State will get full value in
utility for the huge amount expended
With these experiences in mind, the
1899 General Assembly shows signs of
being somewhat more cautious. Mem
bers are going to be a little more sure
of their ground They are going to de-
mand a little more time for study OF
important bills. This may mean d
prolonged session; and predictions Of
ninety to a hundred days are not un-
usual.
Relief, that perennial thistle in the
legislative garden, may be one of the
main subjects requiring careful study
and thorough discussion. There is a
rather general opinion that early in
the present session of Congress some
action will be taken to shunt back to
| states, counties and cities larger
share of the relief burden. 1t is prob
able that bills will be prepared eff
fectuating this change and sent to the
North Carolina legislature with re-
unest for passage in toto. With. con-
stituents of legislators already COM
| planning about the burden of Local
taxes, with the prevalent custom of
coming to Raleigh or going to Wash
ington for relief, these same legisla-
tors are going slow in the matter OF
| placing the relief load on the local
I tax fund.
Other questions of like nature may
l-,-jsa in proposals for Federal aid tc
schools and roads. No member of the
legislature has voiced opposition tt
accepting such aid, but several have
been emphatic in declaring that they
would jealously guard the rights o.
this State in retaining control of the
schools All of which may mean very
little; but it may mean longer ses
sion and better laws.
