RALEIGH READY
FOR LAW MAKERS
Christmas Season Brings Few
Casualties; Gardner For
Australian Ballot
FOUR PRISONERS KILLED
RALEIGH, Jan. 1.?The arrival
of the new year finds Raleigh and
the State hopeful of a prosperous
1929. The holiday period passed
happily here with few casualties
and none of them serious. News
from over the State chronicles the
usual celebrations and that Christmas
Day was fittingly observed
everywhere. Special programs featured
exercises in the churches and
were carried into the homes
through broadcasting stations from
Asheville, Charlotte, Greensboro,
Raleigh and the remotest corners
of the land, which enabled "shut
ins" to unite with the more fortunate
in imbibing joyously in celebrations
of the world's greatest event.
Employer and employee took a
day off and joined hands in the
distribution of Christmas cheer to
the unfortunate and charitable
organizations executed previous
plans for relief in a big way. Not
a needy family in Raleigh was
neglected. In addition to eightyeight
families here who received
special attention, the Associated
Charities received hundreds of dollars
with which to provide for the
necessities of isolated cases not included
in the list of "opportunities."
With the passing of the holidays
discussion of what the app oach'rg
session of the General Assembly
may or may not do has been revived.
The governor-elect announces
that he will have no "spokesman,"
which is taken to signify that he
expects to rely upon the entire
membership of the two branches for
support in providing legislation in
harmony with executive ideas. Farm
relief measures will probably head
the list of legislation to be proposed
by Mr. Gardner and is likely to receive
first consideration.
For Australian Ballot
He has already selected a commission
composed of twenty leading
agriculturalists to study modern
methods of farming and this agency
is expected to report observations
and recommendations during the
legislative session. Second in importance
on the calendar of the new
executive is said to be the Australian
ballot, he having repeatedly declared
himself in favor of an adequate
Australian ballot law. The
representative from his county in j
the General Assembly of 1927 made
a strenuous effort to secure the'
passage of such a law, but his bill
was defeated by a close margin and
was not reconsidered. Representative
Fall predicted a renewal of the
fight two years later with O. Max;
Gardner leading it.
A State Constabulary?
The members of the General As-j
sembly of 1929 will have many'
proposals to talk about and many,
issues to pass upon. One or morel

proposal to increase the tax on I
gasoline is predicted: another effort
will be made to secure the passage
of a workmen's compensation act;
the State Corporation Commission
may ask that it be granted the
regulation of aerial transportation
in the State; the fight for an eight
months school term is expected to
be renewed: and a determined effort
to increase the school equalization
fund of $3,250,000, which is
allocated to the smaller counties, to
five million dollars.
And there are taxes, taxes, taxes
of many classes and many kinds to
be discussed and this will not be
confined to members of the General
Assembly. Laymen are planning to
take a hand and the first against
increases is going to be fast and
furious. The talk about excessive)
taxes is general and the demand
for relief insistent.
Many Republicans
For the first time in years the
Republicans are going to be able to
do more than make a noise. They;
will have thirty-five representatives'

in the House and twelve or thirteen
in the Senate. It is said that they,
are going to fight for a reduction
of taxes and for the enactment of
an Australian ballot law. Coles of
Wilkes, or Grant of Davie, both experienced
legislators, will probably:
lead the minority in the House, and
Senator Guy Weaver of Buncombe,
in the Senate. All of the Republican
members of the Assembly, and
Democrats from the close counties,
and coming pledged to a reduction
cf taxes and there is some danger
of the perfection of a "working
agreement" in the hope of making
good their promises to the folks
back home. "Retrenchment" is to
be the slogan on the one hand; "A
free ballot and a fair count" on the
other, and majority leaders may as
well prepare for the conflict.

months previous by an official classed
as a mining expect, a cable employed
in drawing cars to the surface
"snapped" and the unfortunates
who were being brought out at the;

to their death on the retreating re-1

Two of the prisoners were killed!
outright, two died at the Central
prison here on the following morning.
The seven injured, many with
broken bones, are receiving attention
at the prison hospital in Raleigh f
and all are expected to recover. The
lamentable occurrence is greatly regretted
by prison authorities and
the cause of the accident is being
investigated by State and governmental
authorities. An explosion in
this mine a little more than three '
years ago caused the deaths of more
than fifty white and negro miners,
according to report of the Department
of Labor and Printing, the
last inspection of the mine being
by F. E. Cash of Birmingham, Ala.,
district engineer for the United
States Bureau of Mines, was in
September of last year.
Changes In Laws
The Judicial Conference, consisting
of members of the Supreme
Court, all Superior Court judges and
one member appointed from each
of the twenty judicial districts, in
coccinn here durine' Thursdav and
Friday decided to ask the General
Assembly of 1929 to make the same
changes in the jury system that
were rejected by the Legislature two
years ago. Separate bills are to be
offered for a jury commission,
struck jury and power for judges
of the Superior Court to appoint an
acting foreman of the grand jury
in the absence of the foreman. The
Conference also agreed that Superior
Court Judges in all criminal actions
below capital felonies should
be allowed to set forth in the sentence
recommendations to the governor
conditions under which a
parole should be granted and the
minimum sentence a prisoner should
serve.
Extending the time limit for issuance
of alias summonses to 90
days was favored and in special
proceedings involving land cases the
conference suggests that the plaintiff
be required to file only three

clerk of the court instead of sending
one to each defendant. The
time for filling an answer would be
limited to ten days insteady of 30
if recommendations of the conference
should be accepted.
Doctors Want Protection
The State Board of Medical Examiners
may ask the legislature to
make of it "a court of record" when
appeals are made from its decision
to the Superior Court, the idea
being to have cases submitted to the
courts on records of hearings before
the board. The proposal is expected
to ccme from the legislative
committee of the State Medical
Society as the result of a decision
rendered by Judge Thos. J. Shaw in
the Carroll case tried in the Superior
Court last year. Doctor Carroll
retained his license for the practice
of medicine and is still "doing business
at the old stand."
A spirited contest is predicted ^

over the selection of a successor to
George Ross Pou, superintendent of
the State's prison, with chances apparently
favoring the re-appointment
of the incumbents. The position
carries with it a salary of
$6,000 a year and living quarters
and is considered the most desirable
slice of "pie" Governor Gardner will
have at his disposal. Superintendent
Pou has directed the affairs of the
prison since 1921 and is not going!
to surrender without a fight.
An avowed oppontant is Major)
James A. Leonard of Rowan, and
favorable mention is being made of
former State Senator D. F. Giles of
McDowell, who has been a Gardner
booster for a decade or longer. He
fought hard for Gardner in the
primary campaign against Morrison
in 1920 and has kept the faith ever
since. Mr. Pou is standing on his
record and his friends feel that it
will "put him across."
Stedman Will Remain
It now appears to be a safe bet
that Major Chas. M. Stedman,

Congress of the United States, will
be allowed to retain his seat in the
house without a contest. Having
made a better showing in this
State than they had a reason to
except, the Republican leaders have
apparently decided to "let well
enough alone." There is a general
feeling that Major Stedman would
be in no serious danger if a notice
of contest should be actually filed
and brought before Congress,
charges of fraud at first suggested
in a talk fest of Republicans at
Greensboro having faded into thin
air.

Better Get A License
Motorists who have not provided
themselves with 1929 license plates
are liable to a fine if their cars are
operated, according to announcement
of Commissioner R. A
Doughton who has issued warning
after warning during the past several
weeks directing attention to
his decision not to grant any extensions.
There are 481,045 motor
vehicles in the State which should
be equipped with licenses, but thousands
of owners have not met the
requirement.
Immediately preceding a sessior
of the General Assembly there l?
always talk of adding to or taking
away the functions of some of the
State departments. A recent proposal
would take away the supervision
of the State Advisory Transportation
Commission from the
Corporation Commission and make
it a separate and independent State
agency known as the State Board
