Soil improvement Payments
Ready For Farmers To Sign
Starting Next Monday A Sc
ries OF Community Meet
ings Will Held In Ashe.
SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED

The tremendous task of check
ing compliance with the 1888 soil

and of filling out all of the neces-
sary forms to be sent to Raleigh,

What The State
Legislature Is
Doing This Week
(By Staff Correspondent

Raleigh, Jan. 18.-The law
making bodies of North Carolina
got down to work this week to
discuss such major issues as CAPT.
tai punishment, the sales tax,
proposed increase in tuition at
educational institutions, and the
highway funds diversion.
In spite of the difference of
opinions on questions of major
importance Gov. Hoey predicted
short session. "The legislature
appears to be very much disposed
to work." he said and added,
They've buckled right into it
like they mean business, especi-
ally the appropriations and fl
nance committees"
In committee meetings and on
the floor of the house capital
punishment occupied the center
of the stage Tuesday. Following
lengthy discussion on the pro-
posal that the state scrap the le-
thai gas chamber and return to
electrocution as method of exc
cutting capital offenders, the judi
ciary committee voted to pigeon
hole the matter.
In connection with the diver
sion of highway funds the senate
decided to send an anti-diversion
measure to the finance committee
instead Of the roads committee.
Two highway safety measures
were introduced in the Senate by
Senator Corey Of Pitt. One pro-
vided the addition of 80 men to
the present state patrol staff of
100. The other prescribed a man
datory prison sentence of 60 days
for persons convicted twice of
drunken driving.
Capital punishment, highway
and highway safety
were the major issues of Govern
or Hoey's address to the legisla-
tive body. He asked them to give
a study Of the method of capital
punishment. His message placed
him on record as opposing a con-
Stitutional amendment banning
diversion, and advocating the ad-
dition of so men to the highway
patrol.
The strong sentiment against
the proposed increase in tuition
charges is predicted to have
weight in this matter. Those in
close touch with the situation be-
lieve the finance committee will
have to seek another source of
revenue.
In spite of the pleas from mer-
the finance committee re-
jected the proposal of Represen-
tative Volger of Mecklenburg to
boost the tax on peddlers.
Today the Fair Tax association
composed of merchants and those
interested in removing the sales
tax were given a hearing before
the finance committee. In spite
of the strong delegation and their
argument against the levy, it is
believed that the finance COM
mittee will not see fit to dispense
with this important source of
revenue.
