On the Whole Good

On the whole the North Carolina
legislature Wat adjourned yester-
day may be written into the records
as good. That is Governor Cherry's
appraisal. and if what has been done
is in line with his rather conserva-
tive program there may be full as
surance that safety and progress
have been about as satisfactorily
meshed as could be hoped.
The assembly did 10 80 far 4f.eld
in radical undertakings, though it
could have been led il that direction
had there been a chief executive to
say the word, AS it was, the law
makers held a steady mlddle-o1-the-
road course for the most part, and
went home with what might be
termed a minimum disturbance Of
normal equilibrium.
Uncertainty over ending OF the
war was a definite factor, We think,
in holding the legislature back.
There was evident an attitude of
caution with respect to a number
Of proposals, particularly with re-
spect to finances. Fifty million dol
lars OF an already-accumulated sur
plus was nailed down and earmarked
for debt retirement and put where
it cannot DC reached by the upllfters
and exDerImenters, who would have
been highly pleased to lay hands
money went where II should have
gone-into debt servIce-and the
State has given its approval Of that
course.
Teachers and State employees in
the loW-paid class did not get an
they deserved from this legislature,
but the judiciary received more than
It's far share in salary increases. At
that. however. overall appropriations
are an all-time high, as they were
two years ago. One wonders # still
another record Will be set IN that
respect two years hence, and then
again a biennium after that. In
other words, where will this trend
be arrested and reversed-or will
it ever be? There are at the present
time no indications that it will be,
The last has not been heard Of the
refusal to permit d statewide liquor
referendum. although legislators
voted the way they believed a ma
jority of their constituents wished,
and were probably correct in their
assessment Of popular sentiment,
What Will have to be done if a
change is ever made is to educate
the people toward greater sobrIety
and s~traightcr thinking on the sub
ject, and then send representatives
to Raleigh who will carry out the
mandate.
Taxes, fortunately, were not
raised. They could have been low
cred had not spending been SO freely
done. But We have been over that
before.
A start was made on the medical
care and hospital program. but much
remains to be done by a later as
sembly. State hospitals for the in
sane were given the boost that they
SO greatly need and deserve.
In a word, we would size up this
General Assembly as being a middle
course session. There was an inCli-
nation to play safe, which was wise
1t is no time to strike out oVer I'M
charted paths. The session had no
particularly urgent problems, and,
while no n can see two years
ahead with even a fair degree OF
accuracy, it could be that the 1947
legislature will be SO beset with
headaches as to make this one almost
a picnic by comparison
