ABSENTEE BALLOTS
T':~._ State Board of Elections in its annual
repoii recommends the repeal or modification ; >i
the ai sentee ballot law. The board also desires
a new state-wide registration for 1936.
The Reporter does not believe that th ■
pres. r.t furore about the absentee ballot law.
which emanates largely from Democrats who
were defeated in the* 1984 primaries, should
inure to the nullification of a law which
is a tremendous convenience to the people, and
which is not necessarily an encouragement to
election frauds.
As far as this newspaper is advised, those ir
regularities practiced by Democrats through the
machinery of the absentee ballot law have been
practically balanced off by similar irregularities
on the part of Republicans. It is pretty well con
ceded that if fraud was practiced in Stokes in
the late election, it was a 50-50 game played by
both parties.
For a Democratic legislature to repeal thi
law with the election machinery in their own
hands means a virtual acknowledgment that
they have been dishonest in the elections, and
that they confess to the public their fraud.
Most of this clamor for "fair elections" comes
from candidates who were honestly defeated
but who are looking for a place to put the
blame, saving their faces.
North Carolina elections are conducted
honestly and fairly in general, and exceptions
may net be isolated to the prejudice of any
particular party.
WORLD COURT
The United States of America has grown too
-big to stay out of European entanglements.
This may jar those who are wedded to old
fashioned beliefs that we may stay aloof, mind
ing our own affairs and letting the world go by.
In 1914-1917 we praised our President who
could keep us out of war. But we couldn't be kept
out. We were involved. We were sucked in.
America has grown too big stay out.
As long as American cotton, tobacco, oil.
lumber and wheat, cooper and automobiles,
cigarettes and farm machinery find big markets
across the waters, just so long must we maintain
contacts and guard the interests of home afar
irom home.
The main point ft seems to us. that Senator
Reynolds has missed in his opposition to the
World court is that, our aloofness can't prevent
ouir liabilities—thev are there just the same.
* We are not bound by any decrees of the inter
actional tribunal. We are only there to know
see., which is for our better protection.
President Roosevelt is for our seat in the
court. Senator Bailey is favorable to it—
~We are willing to go along with them.
Since the above was written the proposition
for our joining the world court has been defeat
ed by the Senate.
- * THE FIRST SNOWFALL
j?'
A winter without snow is not best for the
country, so say our older citizens. A light fall
of the fleece here Sunday night delighted the
icids but was not up to that standard preferred
by farmers who who claim that a heavy blanket
oi snow, lying on the ground for weeks, is bene
ficial to the wheat and rye. It keeps the grain
warm, and crowds out the freeze that warps and
dwarfs the yield.
This has been so far a mild winter, consider
ing the "shorn" lambs that are short on coal, and
looking for a check from the FERA.

i
LIQUOR AND GOVERNOR:- j
Sor.ie astute political observers in j
Raleigh express the opinion th'i j
of any bill to call j
toferer.d.u n oil the question o:
liberalizing North Carol in;;':
bone-dry liquor laws by th' c
present legislature would work !
decidedly to the benefit of :ii >
potential candidacy of Clyde i'.. i
Htey. silver-tongued Sheibv I
orator, for governor next yen v. i
These political wise-acres figu»>' 1
that Ms - . Hoey would lead r. e i
tuev the fight against liouor and :
tl:.' he would be successful. Tliry s
sr.y that tliif would be inter- t
pr- .cd as a mandate from the 1
people and that the Shelby at- i
torney would be handed the 1
Democratic nomination for
Governor on a figurative silver
platter.
(
DOUGHTON The boys who
are supposed to know their poli- {
tical stuff have doped it out 1
that the fate of the sales tax (
may have more than a little t-» *
do with Congressman R. L. (
Doughton's decision on the cam- *
paign to get him in the gubei- '
natorial race next year. Mr. '
Doughton led the fight against 1
the sales tax in Congress just a
few years ago. If the present j
General Assembly adopts a sales
tax as a necessity he would either
be forced to support it or reverse
himself, the dopesters say. It
looks like the legislature is going
to reenact the sales tax and you
can make your bets on Congress- j

Many friends of the jPt'-high j ,
man of North Carolina express | (
confidence that neither Hoey or.
Doughton will make the race I
and that Mr. Graham will be the j
next Governor of North Caro
t
lina. It's all being kept very
quiet but so far the Senate's
presiding officer hasn't done any
thing that observers classify as a
political mistake and he has said .
ii
that his luck with this General ,
c
Assembly probably may have
decided influence on his decision'
t
in the gubernatorial contest.
GASOLINE TAXES lt look.:
like everybody and his brother _
want to get their hands into tax
money paid by automobile and
truck owners of North Carolina.
Around legislative halls can be
heard many different proposal. J
for using gasoline and licensej a
money for other purposes than
roads. Some want it to pay local
government debts; others to ts- 1
tablish employment offices and
,
others for the school-?. But Hi'l
State's roads, especially the
secondary highways, are not I;i
the pink of condition and legis
lators from rural counties know
that. Also same bridges 5, til!
levy tolls for passage. It's likely j
to be a merry fight before tne|
question of diversion of highway
funds is settled.
MORE MONEY The General
• Assembly has been in Raleigh
i long enough for it to become ap
parent.. that the membership
favorr boosting salaries of public
school teachcers even higher than
the recommendations of 15 per
cent, made by Governor Ehrin.„-

Raleigh Politics No. 2
Legislature can find the money
but finance committee meetings
have indicated that no members
have discovered a tax gold minr\
SAFETY —lt now app-'irs
certain that some sort of
mobile drivers license me:;: m s
will pass the Legislature and
come lav. Several measures h
been introduced and the c> :r.
mittees on roads of House an-!
Senate will reduce there to a ■ ..i
--mittee substitute. If il is ie:.
able the chances o!' passage sr.-'
good but it is generally a:'»e° 1
that with any effective drivers
license law must go a substantia"!
increase in the number of State
Highway Patrolmen to enforce it.
MARATHONS The bill of
Dr. John T. Burrus, Senator from
Guilford County, to abolish
"walkathons" and dance en
durance contests didn't make the
motion picture operations angry
one bit. The film exhibitors ca>i
figure that a lot of dimes and
quarters going into the walka
thons will not come back to the
picture shows. Outside that also,
there has been much objection
voiced to walkathons from many
factions of the State.
FILLING STATIONS Re
presentative \V. L. Lumpkin, of
Franklin, wants a tax to reach
filling stations operated in chain-;
by oil companies, or Others,
something after the manner of
the chain store tax. He hopes tc
get around the possibility o
leasing such stations to individ
uals by a provision in the
revenue law which would make
the tax he has in mind apply to
stations operated or leased by th?
same company.

been on what they consider nerr'
starvation rations for the past i
two years (and not much wealth-1
l

the appropriations groups with!
the gravity of their situations.
FOUNTAIN ln some quar
ters on Capitol Hill the Wags arc
asking if former Lieutenant
Governor R. T. Fojiitain, of
Rocky Mount, is a political
fountain of youth. In Raleigh last
week Mr. Fountain adnitted ♦.>
newspaper men tbv. he i'
"seriously considering" running
for the Senate in opposition to
Senator Josiah W. Bailey next
spring. Mr. Fountain seriously
considered running for Governor
quite a while before stepping

but the (••vernor is holding hi*

NEW ST All - Arising in the
political heavens is the star
Senator Hani.; Newman, of New
Hanover, shining on the office o'
Lieutenant Governor. From clone
persona' friends of the Chairman
of the Senate Committee on Fin
ance come word that he will
make the race. Senator Newma.i
is silent. If he runs he will face
potential opposition from Uvj
other Senators, W. G. (Cous'n

President Pro Tein Paul D.

SALES TAX lf membership
of Senate and House finance com
mittees. is any index to the com
plexion of the General Assembly
the three per cent, sales tax wil'
be enacted without prolonged or-'
position. Of course, there will be
violent opposition but the votes
in committee do not indicate any

passe on the retail levy. Practical
ly all proposals aga'nst the sa'c:
tax have he. n promptly vote I \
down in committee meetings.
SLOT MACHINES - Pas'

The present legislature is of the

General Assembly hopes to ia
