witti matters of legislative signili I

Australian Ualloting system was de- 1
foal e- 1 by narlinu ntary tact its led'
by 'folic C in nor of Wilson, and sec

Turlington of Iredell, who made the
motion to table; the Revenue bill was
submitted and given apprvoal of the

revenue; 'lie salaries of all State em

lotte resolution expie.-sing confidence
in W. N. Kverett, Secretary of State.
Ii was a busy week for the legis
lator, featured by two sessions in
each house every day and capped
with the speech of Governor McLean.
In brief, the governor recommended
that the revenue collecting agencies
of the State, the Insurance Depart
ment and the Secretary of State's
department, and authorities super
vising buss lines be shorn of these
powers and that till revenue be col
lected by the department of revenue
This will transfer the auto license
department to the Revenue depart
ment. He further recommended the
creation of a salary commission to
investigate the work being done by
each employee of the State, to fix
the salary of each employee cou
nt nsurate with the work accomplish
ed anil to recommend where em-
I ployes might be dropped. The merg-
I ing of the revenue collection agen
| cies, the governor argues, also would
result in decreasing duoli cation of
| work with the resultant dropping of
many employes at a great saving,
lie further argued for a sy-' m of
! turning over all money 's cdlei-d
daily to the Treasurer and to ha\ ■
the Treasurer as the only officer of
the State with a bank account. This,
he said would make available to the
Treasurer all funds of the State and
would prevent short term financing
to a large extent, the interest being
saved.
The Australian ballot bill went
down to defeat st» to 55 in the House
when it was tabled. Connor of Wil
son,. stood out in the forefront of
'those willing to deny a man's right!
to vote secretly when he made the
motion to reconsider the vote by
which the bill was tabled and
brought about the motion, by Kver
ett of Dm ham, to table the Connor
motion seconded by Connor and the
'clincher was put to the bill prevent
ing its further consideration this
session. The bill had been brought
up when an unfavorable report was
refused, and a minority report ac
cepted.
The Revenue bill carrying tax
schedules estimated to raise twelve
; millions was considered and approv
ed by the House. It now is in the
Senate. The appropriation bill pro
vides for spending fourteen millions
yearly so either the revenue must be
raised or the appropriation cut.
Publication of all state salaris paid
aroused a great deal of comment and
was referred to by Governor Mc-
