the hope that they may be able to
elect county commissioners, tax col
lectors, ETC., and if so some faithful
disciple of jefferson and Jackson
might want to start newspaper and
pick up few hundred dollars out of
county advertising.
Assault on the bill was led by SEN
ator Chester Cogburn of Haywood
He lives at Canton and there is a
Republican newspaper in that town.
The senator thinks some of his
friends might start an opposition
sheet He isn't going to bar them
from place at the trough of public
bounty if they do.
He was joined by Ballentine of
Wake and Barber of Chatham. Bar
Der admitted that his county wasn't
seriously troubled with Republicans,
but he recalled that once they had a
'bolsheviz" editor. Ballentine just
didn't like to vote against his col
league and seat mate from Chatham
Cogburn's objection to the bill is
consistent with his position on other
matters. He is the champion repeater
and anti-monopolist of the senate
liz lIIcty IIOC have Ills eye OII JOO
with the U. S. government in the
trust busting department, but he is a
likely prospect for that sort Of thing
He is an anti. The only thing by way
of organization, regulation, or estab-
fishing a code of ethics and require
mentS for practice which he gives
any indication of favoring is the
State bar. That deals with his own
profession and therefore it is all
right. But all the rest Of 'em are
monopolistic and he has many times
quoted the constitution to the effect
that special privilege and mono
poles are contrary to the genius Of
a free people" He quoted that a.
gainst the newspaper bill, against tile
contractors and against photograph
erS.
The partisan angle to the news
paper bill got Yadkin county ex-
empted by the committee. The same
plea got by the senate, with a mar
row margin, exemption Of several
other western counties.
After spending more than an hour
debating the bill defining a news
paper, the senators decided that they
didn't know what a newspaper is and
were not making much Roadway to-
ward finding out. So they sent the
bill with all fits amendments back
to the committee.

Senate Can't
Decide What

In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
BY LYNN NESBET

Raleigh, March If one were to
stop the first person met on the
streets and ask him what is a news
paper?" he probably would get an
immediate answer. It isn't so easy
for the legislature to define a news
paper, and the august State Senate
spent an hour Monday night debat-
ing a bill which seeks simply to do
that-and then failed to reach vote,
but the bill went back to commit
tee.
Sponsored by the State Press AS
ISOLATION, the bill was introduced
several days ago by Senator Gold.
chairman Of judiciary No. 1. It's pro-
visions are simple: That to qualify
for the publication of legal notices
required by court order or stutory

date of first insertion Of the adver-
tisement Its purpose is to protect the
public from what some senators call
ed 'fly-by-night newspapers" There
have been instances where neWspa-
pers were started just in time to gel
publication Of the tax list, for exam
pie, from a friendly board of COM
missioners, and then as soon as the
publication was completed the paper
would fold up and die. That is a sit
uation which admittedly needs cor
rection.
But partisan politics enters the
picture. There are counties in west

cloth, that's too much profit" con-
tinued Mr.. Null. He explained, how
erer, that he knew full we'll that no
one man got it all, but that there
were too many hands for it to pass
through.
Concurrently with news dispatches
about the release Of DR.. Ralph Nc
Donald from the Black Mountain SAN
atorium, come serious questions of
what his influence may be on the
next race for governor. He is not ex-
pected to be candidate, due to the
east-West arrangement, but political
observers around Raleigh have no
idea that he will remain entirely aloof
from the campaign. Not in many
years has a defeated candidate re-
tanned the same hold upon his fol-
lowers, or the same high place in the
esteem of his one-time opponents,
and the teacher-doctor's influence
will doubtless be felt. What worries
one or two prospective candidates is
just how far it will be polite for them
to go in cultiVating him.

Health Group
Appeals For
Needed Funds

Raleigh, March members of the
North Carolina Public Health Asso-
citation from seventy-siX counties, in
special meeting held in Raleigh
viewed with grave concern the dan
ger to North Cardinals public health
program presented by the cut in APP
preparations recommended by the APP
preparations committee of the legis-
lature.
In the face of an increase during
the past two years in counties SER
we'd by fulitime local health organi-
cations from 81 to rs counties, the
joint appropriations committee of the
legislature has recommended an ap-
preparation which will make avail
able $500 per year less for health
work in North Carolina than is be-
ing spent during the present year.
In resolution, the health officers
declared:
'"This cut means either that. the
health program Of the state will suf-
fer tragic retrenchment, or that the
counties and cities will have to in
crease their appropriations to make
up the deficit. Should any or all of
CIlG LWCIlCy -lOllI COUI1JlGS WHICH 90
not have full-time health service APP
ply for their proportionate part of
available funds, the amount which
will be cut from each Of the seventy
six counties now being served will
be propOrtiOnately greater.
"The Association realized that ad-
ditional funds in excess of the $685.
600 are absolutely essential to take
care of any of the tWenty-four I'M
organized counties that should be-
come interested in the establishment
Of minimum public health services.
We urgently request that funds in
addition to $4,000 be made avail
able by the legislature to take care
of the normal growth in providing
health service to these twenty-four
counties and that the legislature ear
mark any funds in addition to the
$4,000 for this specific purpose.

crease in interest and support for
