AT THE CAPITOL New* of Interest From the Legis lature Now ii SmiIm * M. L. 8HIPMAN. Correspondent Special to Fraaklla Times Raleigh. Jan. 26.?The outstanding feature in legislative circles was the message of Governor McLean to a Joint session of the Assem bly on Wed nesday In the Hall of the Honse. The address was a comprehensive surrey of the State's business, accompanied with Important and valuable recom mendations looking to the application of needed remedies to meet the urg ent needs of the hour. The governor would not retard the progress of the commonwealth in any sense, but he wants to proceed on a "safe and sane" basis. Enlargement of public Institu tions, to an extent that will enable them to keep pace with the State's steady and solid development, meets the Governors approval, yet he would hare all garments "cut to fit the cloth." The Governor's suggestions were received with the closest attention by the solons and a crowd which packed the lobbies and galleries of the HalL The need for an economical adminis tration was one of the points in the message which received the "glad hand." The speaker wanted the finan cial condition of the State disclosed In Its entirely and will be satisfied with nothing else. The Governor cov ered a number of subjects In his ad dress, vis: Training In Agriculture, Health, Economy In Administration, the Budget System, Reform In Judicial Procedure, Freight Rates, Develop ment of Water Transportation, High ways, Treatment of the Afflicted, the Pardoning Power, Blue Sky Law, Can. serration and Development, our Na tural Resources, Industrial Develop ment, Development of Coastal Plains, Treatment of Labor, Workmen's Com pensation, Treatment of Prisoners, the State's Prison, Commercial Traffic on the Highways, Fish and 6ysters, etc. The question of deficit, or no deficit, has passed the debatable Btage. It is here, and the sixe is yet to be determin ed. The most authentic information available fixes the amount as of June 30, 1924, at $6,600,000. The Budget Commission estimates that a couple of millions more may aswell be added to the shortage reported'by the au ditor. Governor McLean insists, that "all the sards be laid on the table," so that the General Assembly and the public may know "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." It Is the Governor's purpose to get the State's expenditures back in line wtth Its deficient revenues, and members of the General Assembly appear to be In accord with the views of the The proposed 35-mlllion bond bill for the further extension of the State's highway system was trotted out tor the inspection of both houses on Thurs day. It was Introduced In the house by Representative Bowie, of Ashe; In the Senate by Senator Heath, of Union. It will not take the course of Port Terminals measure which the voters of the State rejected In November. The Legislature Is either to accept or re ject it If It passes, the gasoline tax will be Increased to four cents n gal lon, and short term notes issued and sold. It will likely "pass muster," tor good roads are the subject of genteel and polite conversation with most everybody In the State these days. So long as those who use the public high ways most are willing to pay tor the privilege will be the State risk Its credit in further extent In the sys tem. The request of Governor MdLesn for a Pardon Commissioner is to be seriously considered. Representative Womble, of Forsyth, has offered a bill which would authorise the appoint ment of an official to assist the Gov. ernor in connection with applications for pardons and commutations. He would be paid a salary of $4,000 a year and allowed to employ a stenographer at a salary not exceeding $150 a month. The Commissioner would be under the Immediate direction of the Governor, the final arbiter In all pardon cases. It is the purpose of Governor McLean to devote bis entire time to the weightier matters of the State. Instead of wearing himself out In the consideration of petty affairs. It is not in the mind of the Glvernor to shirk any duty, but to discharge every obligation to the best Of his ability. A capable man as commission er of pardons, one who could prepare all cases In a proper way, would re lieve the Executive of no little worry and detail. The General Assembly "took a day i off" and visited the State University 'in a body on Friday to witness the i formal dedication of the new law bulld i ing. Owing to pressing official du . ties Governor McLean could not at tend and Lieutenant Governor J.

C. that institution, while the acceptance speech was made by Mr. Jeaephus Danlela on behalf of the Board of Trustees. Members of the General As sembly occupied seats on the Speak ers' platform. Special seats ware provided for the wives of the legislators and other Invited guests who -were, also, handed tickets to the luncheon at New Carolina Inn following the exercises. State officials, members of the Su preme Court and distinguished per. sonages from afar graced the occasion with their presence. Developments at the University were given "the once over" by many members of the Legis lature daring their visit to the.Hill and first-hand Information may be helpful to some when the appropria tion bill comes up for consideration later on. '??. _ Both branches of the Assembly ware In action again on Friday evening but neither had a "full house." The 3rd week of the session has practically expired, with no bills ratified except a few of routine character. The 4th week will start with prospects of ac complishment. Governor McLean has shown himself a man of action and makes plain his conviction that he is not-one of those who is content with "making promises to the ear to be broken to the hope." He finds fault with the State's fiscal policy and wants the system changed. He stands for progress, but does not look with favor upon extravagance in any form. It is his conviction that the State is a big business institution and he believes that sound business methods and pru dent business management should be applied in the handling of its fiscal affairs. I A numoer of the legislators were heavy losers In a dlsastorous tire I which destroyed the Motor Service 'storage building near the Sir Walter Hotel on Thursday morning. In which 'more than 200 automobiles and trucks ! were burned. Serving as a member of the General Assembly this winter ! will, to them be an expensive experi ment. Few of them carried Insurance on their cars. These will have to take , total losses and make the best of 'the misfortune. I A bill by Senator Sams, of Forsyth, I would change the constitutional re quirement relative to the canvass of I the vote for Governor and other State 'officers by committees of the General 'Assembly. The Senator thinks this should be attended to not later than February 1st before (the Legislature 'convenes. With the submission of the ' amendment goes, for the third time, ' the proposal to Increase the compensa tion of members of the General As. Isembly which has twice been rejected, the last time by a very close margin. 1 Several administration measures are i- "In the making" and will soon be ready for presentation. Tte Governor will insist hpon the budget system of handling the affairs of all state departments, and revision In the ju dical system. The claim of congested dockets has reached the ear of the Executive. Whether the Legislature la In accord with his views on this par ticular proposition remains to be as certained. His Excellency plainly in dicates the desire to evolve a plan for the expansion of the Geological and economic Survey, as outlined in his message to the General Assembly, rather than the creation of an addi tional department for the purpose of collecting an collating Information touching the Industrial progress of the State. The legislative mill has begun to operate with a greater degree of regu larity and the lobbyist is no stranger these days around the hotel lobbies and even the capital itself. Pnblle Bills The following public bills have been presented during the week: An act to amend section 2691 of the consolidated statutes relative to Ju dicial sales; to amend sections 1636, 1637, 1641, 1642, 1651 and 664 of the consolidated statutes by authorizing cities of a population of 2000, and over to establish recorder's courts and pro viding for a schedule of fees in said courts; to amend section 664 of the consolidate statutes prohibiting the judge from criticizing tho verdict of the Jury; to amend section 108 of the consolidated statutes relative to au thorization by clerk to executor or administrator for grave stones; to re peal section 6018 to 6055 inclusive of the consolidated statutes relating to the primary law; to amend statutes relative to Immunity to witness In bri bery cases; to aid In the development of any city.
