More Money
Is Asked For
State Parks
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, JAN 24.-Unless the cur
rent General Assembly reverses the
recommendations of the Advisory
budget Commission, several hundred
n ousand dollars of State and Fed
cral money spent on development of
state parks might just as well have
been poured down a rat hole, Depart
ment of Conservation and Develop
ment officials believe.
It's a matter of some fifteen or
twenty thousand dollars difference
between the budget estimates of the
department and the recommended ap-
propriations of the commission: but
lust that will be the difference be-
tween at least three or four state
parks, open, and the same three or
four state parks, closed and aban-
dcned, these officials say.
The parks affected will be at Fort
Macon, Hanging Rock in Stokes coun-
~. Morrow Mountain and Mount Nit
chell. In cooperation with the Federal
government, these areas have been
developed to the point where the first
named has already been thrown open
to the public and the other three will
be ready within a very few months.
With operation of these parks in
mind the department asked for a
total appropriation for State forests
and parks of $43,35O for 1o394O and
S4S,5O5 for 1940-41, which would have
given sufficient. money to operate the
parks as recreation centers for North
Carolnians and as attractions which
might induce out-of-state visitors to
come to the Senate. The budget com
mission recommended S13,48O for the
first and $13.5S0 for the second year
of the biennium.
On this sum, officials contend. #
will be absolutely impossible to op-
crate any of the parks. AS a result.
the big sums already spent will be
completely wasted, the State will lose
at least five large CCC camps now
located in the areas because the Fed
eral government will not continue to
keep them open unless the State is
cooperating.

Balancing Of
Budget Only
An Estimate
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
BY HENRY AVERHL

Raleigh, Jan. 24.-This legislature
is witnessing exactly the same thing
as all its predecessors in the matter
OF the balanced budget" which is to
say that the administration is wear
ing the unbalanced budget" mask
as sort of scare face to brighten
timid legislators. AA~t g,t .M~
1t is happening now, always has
happened and Always will happen.
Here's how it works. The Budget
Commission, headed by the governor,
sits down asd works out the taxes
and the appropriations it favors.
Then it adds UP the appropriations
and estimates" the revenue in just
sufficient sums to balance the total
fund.
That's a balanced budget-the fig
ures say so. What isn't shouted is
that the balance, after all, is achiev-
ed by the very simple process of "es-
timating." Naturally the estimates"
must be somewhere within the
bounds of reason else nobody would
fall for them. Hence they are al
Ways plausible at least
Having thus managed to balance"
things, the next problem is to keep
The legislators from upsetting the bal
ance by either increasing appropria-
lions or striking out any of the reve-
nue. sources.
Of course, when it becomes appa-
rent that either of the two things
Is certain to be done, bit of figure
juggling must be accomplished in
order to preserve the balance" Thus,
should it become clear that the fin
ance committee is not going to swal-
low the proposed increase in beer
taxes, to yield $1,400,O00 as increased,
no steps will be taken actually to
raise more money. There will SIM
ply be re-estimate" that the tax
with a changed method of collection,
VIII still yield the $1,400,Oo0 necessary
10 keep the budget balanced"
And so on ad infinitum and often
al nauseam. Even if the assembly
should vote against diverting 81
VooOOO from the highway funds, the
general fund is more Likely to be

probation of Secretary of State Thad
Eure, with whom they are required
to list themselves.
Ihls seems to be slightly different
from the intention of the Assembly
which framed the statute, which was
designed to put into black and. white
the amounts being spent by special in
terests to influence legislation affect
ing them.
1t was not thought, for instance
that former State Senator S. Gilmer
Sparger, permanent secretary of the
North Carolina Petroleum Industries
committee, would come within the
purvlew of the lobby law, even though

regulars" whose duty is to promote
better public relations for big groups.
This because of the fact that Mr..
Sparger is full-time paid official

On advice of Secretary Eure how
ever, he has registered, as have sew

In other words, the Eure interpre-
tation seems rather more inclusive

legislature.

 Washington, Dec. 20.-(UP)-The National Association of Manufactur- CTS proposed l2 amendments to the Wagner Labor Act today, including six limitations on the right to strike.
 The proposal was made by the as- sociation's committee on employ rlent relations which declared that the act has increased labor disputes prevented attainment of true na- tional security" and nnenaced the nations welfare.

 The manufacturers committee proposed a legal ban on closed -shop contracts and on check-off systems, whereby union dues are deducted from employees pay envelopes. It said that benefits of the labor act should be withheld from workers who engage in:

This year winter begins at i:0e D.. m, Eastern Standard Time, Dec. %, in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere the sun- mer begins at the same time.
 We have winter because the earth's axis Is tilted at an angle from the perpendicular to the plane of It's orbit around the sun. If 1t were perpendicular there would be no change of seasons and days and nights would be of equal length everywhere on earth throughout the year. But the axis Is inclined at an angle of 23.5 degrees, and during the earth's journey around the sun for six months the North Pole and .n the next six months the South Pole--is inclined toward the sun.

board Thursday announced a dis
tribution OF 100000 in liquor

counties so per cent.
II was the sixth distribution in

brought the total handed out 10
SO 300 900 for the year. After
April the board will. under a new
law, give cities so per cent OF all
profits. the state getting only IS

The new percentages are expect
ed TO bring cities 81 500 900 a year.
The liquor board increased it's

expected to offset the state and
counties loss under the new per-
centages.
