Money Battle OF
1911 Assembly In
Appropriations
Daily Dispatch bureau,
In the Sir Walter LIn.aL

Raleigh, Feb. l5.--The big money
battle of the l94l General Assembly
a perennial combat usually Wagec
at its riercest in the Finance commit
tee-is likely to take place in the APP
preparations committee this time.
Victor S. Bryant of Durham, one
of the outstanding figures of the last
four legislative sessions, and many
others believe that the transfer OF the
area of hoStilitieS will come about
principally because Of the enactment
in 1889 of d permanent rather than
Il biennial, revenue act.
Last time, we worked out, in good
faith. d Revenue bill which we be-
lievc cmbodieS the best and most
practicable system of raising rev.
enuc for North Carolina", said Rep
rcsentative Bryant. Il do not believe
that the l9il legislature will do very
much tiukering with it. There will
be, Of course, efforts 10 make mlnOI
changes in some of the items and
schedules, but it seems to me thai
enactment Of Revenue bill in l94l
will be more or less Il routine mat
ter"
The big battle, he said, will com:
in ALLEGATION Of the funds estimated
to be raised by the Revenue bill
That, of course, has alWIy, been
cause of a big scramble and much ar
eurlcnt, but in the past there has
been perhaps even more squubblne
over how 10 raise the money 10 &C
spent.
Bryant secs the setting up of re-
tjrcmcnt fund for teachers as one OF
the problems which will have 10 be
thoroughly thrcshed out, but is OF the
opinion that this can be done with
oft too much conflict.
1.-The liquor question may get into
the Spotlight, he said, but of all
issues reappOrtiOnmCnt will be the
bittcrcst fight, though by no means
the most important"
