Eure Office
Latest Laws
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, April 8.-Busiest office
in Raleigh today is that of secretary
Of State Thad Eure, upon which has
developed the duty of getting into
the hands @of interested parties the
many laws passed by the legislature
which quit and went home this
week. SO
Clerks of superior court, registers
Of deeds, mayors, commissioners Of
this and that = in fact officials of
every sort and classification, are
writing, wiring, phoning and asking
by word of mouth after personal trip
tc the office for certified copies of
this law, and that law and the
other.
The result is that Mr.. Eure, his
regular office force, the enrolling Of
flee personnel under direction of
Laurie McEachern, and several 9TH
er cooperating agencies have not
known the meaning of "rest'' since
adjournment.
Secretary Eure says everything is
under complete control, however,
and sees an earlier end to the period
Of rush and confusion than ever be-
FORE
incidentally, the legislature add
ed a new branch Of the Secretary of
States department, putting the pre-
sent Legislative Reference Librarian
thereafter to be called the Publica-
tons division) under its direction.
This action was in accord with a
program of expanding the depart
ment's activities which has been in
progress for the last two years. Mr..
Eure points out that the budget for
his department now is approximate
~ 100000 annually as against only
$4,000 when he took office; but
likewise points out that the in
crease has been entirely due to ex-
pansion of activities and not to pay
Increases for existing employee per-
sonnet.
The Secretary will not divulge de-
tails, but does no hesitate to say
he is considering plans for a thor
ough consolidation of the affairs un-

Explains Pay
OF Pensions
To Widows
Daily Dispatch Bureau
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, April 8.-There is no
cause for confusion or concern over
the proposed transfer of Confederate
widows to the old age assistance
lists, Mrs w. T. Bost, commissioner
of public welfare, said today when
her attention was called to news
paper articles from various points
indicating that some county officials
are uncertain about the meaning of
the act by which it is proposed to
make that transfer in certain cases
cts really quite simple in the
final analysis, she said. "Those
Glass "a" Confederate widows who
qualify as eligible for old age assis-
lance will simply be put on the list
at the amount they are now drawing,
which is $25 per month. They must
qualify before the county boards just
as all other old age assistance re-
cipients Go, except that they will not
be required to file formal applica-
ton.
There will be some who have
property, or incomes, and who there
fore will not be able to qualify UNI
der the law These will just be left
right where they are, with the State
pay ing C1lCLl OAoOCly INC IL IlOW
But those who qualify on a basis of
age, need, residence and other counts
will be paid $25 monthly from the
Old Age Assistance funds.
Counties, however will not be
called upon to pay any part of the
sums granted these Widows The
State old age setup will pay the en-
tire amount and will be reimbursed
for half its expenditures by the Fed
eral government"
She pointed out that no possible
confusion can exist in the matter of
Class "B'' widows who draw only
500 annually under the present sys-
tenn. These, however, will be hand
led exactly like the Class "a"
widows.
In no case, she emphasized, will
any widow be called upon to take
less than she is now receiving. Those
who qualify under the requirements
Of the old age law will be paid what
they are now getting by State ana
United States government funds.

cherry items to come from funds Of
the department of conservation and
development eff and when" avail
able.
The other bill authorizing change
or reallocation in department funus,
was that permitting wider discretion
on part of the governor in assign
ing highway funds to particular pur-
poses. The highway item, and the
two fish hatchery items actually adj
ded nothing to the totals appropriate
ed.
Under the general classification of
personal service come several bills
increasing salaries, emoluments, and
granting pensions. Supreme court
justices had their expense allow
ances brought up to the same amount
given superior court judges for ex-
penSes, which actually means about
a thousand dollars a year increase
in salaries for their honors. Then
special and extra judges were added
to the list of judges eligible for re-
tirement benefits under the old law,
which adds a continuing substantial
amount Of indefinite figure to the
total appropriations.
The salaries of the commissioner
of agriculture and of the commits
sioner of labor were boosted from
$4,000 year to $4,000 year, while
the utilities commissioner had his
pay increased from $4,000 to $4,000.
The right to fix any salary, with
out bottom or top limit, for the COM
missioner of paroles was accorded
the governor. The parole commits
sioner's pay is now just little under
$4,000 a year.
w. Dan Terry, for more than forty
years a state employee and for most
of that time superintendent of the
capitol building and grounds, who
was forced into retirement during
the winter by a stroke, was voted a
life time pension of $500 a month
The state volunteer fire depart
ment was recognized by appropria-
ton of $4,000 a year from the gen
eral fund, part of which is to be US
ed in the annual firemen's training
school and the other is available for
the benefit fund.
Introduced and passed under sus-
pension of the rules right in the clos
by Senator Smith allocating $685.
600 year, or total of $4,000 for
the biennium, for the maintenance
Of State-OWned parks.
Finally, and counting the bond is
sue, the biggest appropriation of all,
is provision for a tubercular hos
pital in eastern North Carolina. Spe-
cific appropriation of $4,000 a year
is made for preliminary survey Of
location, etc., and bond issue of
$25O,OOO for building and equipping
the hospital is authorized.
Of the nineteen supplemental ap-
preparation bills included in this list,
fourteen originated in the senate
and five in the house. The house
bills were the Japanese beetle era
dication program, both current and
permanent appropriations. Bangs
disease control, the Terry pension
and the volunteer fire department
bills All the others are credited to
during the last ten days of the Sos
sion.

Garner and Farley Are
Most Likely Candidates

conspicuously "anti''-at the present
stage of the game.
He's a Party Man.
Jim primarily is a party man. His
first thought is not to split Demo-
cracy-not too soon, anyway. Never
theless, the conservatives think he'd
be on their side in the executive
mansion.
For that matter, it doesn't pay
John N. to split the party. That's
what restraints him slightly. How
ever, he isn't as diplomatic as James
A. is. Jim's age is all right also.
Gamers geography is a trifle "a
gainst him-aWay down south in
Texas. Still, Texas isn't so much
southern as southwestern. Sectional
prejudices are wearing off likewise
Farley's locale New York; is dandy
Manhattan isn't, nationally, so popu-
lar place to hail from, but Jims
home town was Grassy Point; he can
call himself ruralite
Farley's Roman Catholic
Agrainst Catholicism there isn't, hap
PLY, the same hostility as that which
existed when Al Smith was Democ-
racy's candidate. I'd surmise that i:
wouldn't appreciably signify in 1910
Gamers record is one of I'M
adulterated craftsmanship con-
gressional representative, party
leader in the lower house on Capitol
Hill, speaker of his chamber, vice
president-and a corking creditable
one. Farley graduated into politics
from a membership on the New York
Boxing COMMISSIONS a kind OF
glorified prize fight referee. Kene-
saw M. Lands stepped down from
the federal bench to the czarshiE
OF baseball. Farley was promoted tC
cabinet post from the prize ring
I'd say that Gamers post outrateo
Farley'S-fOr the presidency.
But Their Rivals?
What rivals, however, have Gar
ner and Farley?
Well, Senator Bennett Chamr
Clark Of Missouri is a conspicuous
one. The trouble with Senator Clark
IS That he's a more emphatic anti
New Dealer than either the Texan
or the New Yorker The New Deal
never would stand for him for &
minute.
Secretary of the Interior Harold L
lckes? He never was really consid-
cred, and isn't a bit considered to-
day. Agriculture Secretary Henry A
Wallace? He's out. Interior Secretary
Harry L. Hopkins? Nobody reckons
with him any longer.
Sum it up
And the New Deal hasn't a can
dldate to amount to anything-ex-
cept F. D. to succeed himself. Ano
talk of his denomination to succeed
himself is fizzling out
The nub is:
The New Deal hasn't a good can
dictate to succeed F. D.
Democracys consoling thought is
The Republicans haven't a half
way decent candidate, either.

The largest beneficiary of the ex-
ira appropriations was the agricul-
tural program. During the last week
of the session the sum of S165. 900
was made available for agricultural
research work at State College. Just
a few days before that $4,000 had
been allocated for the eradication of
Bangs disease, and 100000 for con-
troll of the Japanese beetle. These
two items are to be matched, or ma
terially supplemented by federal
money. In addition to the 100000
new money for Japanese beetle work
$4,000 year was re-allocated from
agricultural funds for that purpose.
Closely allied to agricultural work,
but to be administered by the de-
partment of conservation and devel-
opment were the appropriations for
forest demonstration and promotion
work in the sum of $4,000 a year,
and the 100000 for a small mouth
