rather than mob-rule' democracy
If space permitted, should like
to- show how this pressure-grour
racket has gradually increased. Brief
ly, before the World War, it operat-
ed only on the legislative branch
Since then, it has been applied to
the executive branch. The courts are
still free from intimidation by lob
byists; but they will next be attack
ed Yet, the founders of our country
planned that Congress and the exc
cutive should be as free from, attacks
from pressure groups and paid secre-
taries as are the courts.
Outlaw Pressure Groups. ,s
Yes, the country needs confidence.
Only by the restoration Of confidence
will business return to normal, un-
employment and relief be eliminated
and our various government budgets
be balanced. The first confidence
needed, however, is in our Congress
Before we can have confidence in
anything else, we must have conf
dence in our senators and represent
atives. We must have confidence
enough to forbid pressure groups
from harassing them.
In short, confidence will be re-
stored as pressure groups are out
lawed. Now, just one more thought:
Please do not write me letters about
free speech, etc. Of course, believe
in free speech. You should always be
free to write your senators or repre-
sentatives any letter that you wish
or talk to them in person when they
are home. By pressure groups, mean

Buncombe's Vote
Starts Two Drives

of attempting to expand the local op-
ton basis of the present law to the
point where municipalities of over
and above certain, definite popula-
ton limits shall have the right to set
up stores on their own initiative, re-
gardleSs of the wishes of the sur
rounding countryside.
This school of thought made brief
and almost unnoticed motions in that
direction during this years General
Assembly; but if the omens seem
propitious in 1941~ much stronger
putsch along the same lines can be
expected.
Movement number two, however,
is directed in exactly the other di-
rectiOn. 1t aims to wipe out the exist
ing liquor store set-ups in q North
Carolina counties through the med
ium of a statewide referendum.
For the drys to carry Buncombe
was quite on the order of the Dutch
capturing Holland, but at the same
time there's no denying that the
SOundness with which the control
lers of the resort area were spanked
was something more than the un-
biased observer looked for. It had
been assumed and asserted in almost
all quarters that the result would be
comparatively close, and nobody can
call 5000 majority in less than 25,-
coo votes close enough to get excited
about.
And so the result was sufficient
to cause unbounded jubilation in the
camp of the United DryS, led by Cen
eralissimo Gale K. Burgess. No au-
thoritive spokesman for the group
has rushed into print with announce
ment that the brethren intend to
drive hard and furiously for referen-
dunn legislation in the 1941 Assem-
bly,, but the dry leaders would be
something short of human if they do
not see such campaign as more
likely than ever to succeed.
One very discouraged advocate of
control, who begged not to be quot
ed by name, remarked Thursday, eff
they don't stop having these elections
in the west they're going to wipe out
the whole thing" And that is the
fear of the controllers as we'll as the
hope of the prohibitionists.
MIR. Burgess and his hosts have
taken a series of legislative lickings
since the slick passage of the New
Hanover and Pasquotank bills in
1885; but they see signs and portents
that the lane, though long, has about
reached turning. So the 1910 legis-
lative campaign may yet turn out tc
beb one in which the always-dread-
ed prohibition issue assumes more
than ordinary, if not paramount, i'm
portance..
The drys lack one thing, however
They haven't yet been able even tt
get an election called in any of the
| control counties, much less vote ou
the stores after they have once beer
set up. It seems SO far that the sys-
tenn satisfied the folks wherever i
has been established.

United States war and navy depart
ment headings in the fiscal years

tie more than three years. Much of
the world arms cost, however, is
being paid for by borrowing

Uncle Sans appropriations for

actual outlays have been slower on

to get navy, air equipment and

|Hoey Won't
Halt Use OF
Game License

Raleigh, July 28.-(AP)-Gover-
nor Hoey heard representatives Of
hunters and fishermen protest
against use of game and fishing
license money Tor forest fire pro-
lection; then he told them he
thought the policy was right
Governor Hoey said the spokes-
men for the Sportsmen made "Splen-
did arguments" but they should
have been made to the legislature.
John Lewis, of Statesville, headed
the group. The group asked the
governor to call the Board of Con-
servation and Development in spec
lal session to hear them in the hope
the board would reverse its decision
to allow use of up to ten percent
for forest fire work.
II told them frankly l did not
think I would be justified in calling
a board meeting" said Hoey. Il
;aid l thought the board acted right
N the. first place. If 1 called it, 1
would advise it to do the. same
thing over again."
Lewis and R. P. Kephart, as CO.
chairmen of the committee, issued
a statement saying, in part: "While
the governor was very definite in
his decision not to call the board
into session, the committee still
feels the transfer or diversion is not
right and not within the intent of

DECISIONS AFFECT
STATE employees

Columbus, O. (OLNS).-A decision
of the Ohio Supreme Court and two
opinions written by Attorney General
Thomas Herbert, of Importance to
state employees, were announced last
week.
The court ruling, giving provisional
appointees the same job security as
civil service employees when an eli
gible list has not been established, will
be nullified when the amended civil
service law becomes effective early in
September.
Under the courts decision, provi-
sional appointees are entitled to re-
tain their positions during competent
service, and have the right of appeal
on notice of dismissal.
The amended civil service law pro-
vides that provisional appointees
serve only at the pleasure of the ap-
pointing authority or the commission.
When positions are abolished and
later recreated, the civil service COM
mission shall certify to the appoint
ing authority the same number of per-
sons as if the jobs had never existed,
Attorney General Herbert ruled in an
opinion to the commission.
The attorney general held that the
civil service law required reappoint-
ments to be made the same as original
ones. When four positions are abol-
ished, not at the same time, but within
month, the appointing authority is
not required to state which position
is being recreated.
In another decision, the attorney
general held that the provision in the
public employees retirement act that
to gain exemption from contribution
an application must be filed within 80
days after The act became effective
must be strictly construed.
Mr.. Herbert held that the fact an
employe, during the three-month pc
riod, was in litigation to determine
whether he has been wrongfully dis
charged did not alter the operation
, of the statute.
