THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
Gag-Rule In Senate das Double Ap
plication.
' By CHARLIES P. STEWART
NBA Service Writer
Vapllgtoi. February 4.—At first
thought it may seem as if there'll be
nothing very severe iu a rule limit
ing senators to an hour apiece to dig- (
cuss gay given subject before tbe up- '
per- bouse of Congress 'for considera
tion.
* » »
It speeds up business, of course.
But there’s another principle involved,
which most folk who favor gag-ru!e
appear to overlook.
l , It’s the principle that the Senate,
a? originally created, is supposed to
act as a brake on the House of Rep
resentatives—to prevent ’half-baker
legislation. Gag-rule keeps it from
acting that way.
*■ * * *
It’s perfectly true that a Senate
minority frequently has kept the ma
jority from doing what it wanted to ;
do, by talking everlastingly, and ty
ing things up, until finally the ma
jority had to give up and drop some \
measure it had had its heart set on.
• * *
Nevertheless, minorities do have
their rights, or ought to. At any
rate, the “founding fathers’’ thought
so.
That’s why they stood for unlim
ited debate in the Senate. Limita- 1
tion’s all right in the House of Rep
resentatives. That’s the popular body
—supposed to be responsive to na
tional fads and whims, and to g off
at half-cock occasionally. Its- crea
tors’ theory was that “Stop. Look,
Listen” was the correct motto for the
Senate.
And unlimited debate there iB the
minorities’ one white alley. It’s ob
structive, certainly. It was meant
to be.

Tiic Pathfinder.
1 It is not what we know but how
much' we make others think «te know
which counts. By loading up with a
few words, which are perfectly good
words but which no sensible person
would ever use, you can floor any of
those knowledgioue persons who are
at way j trying to floor you and make
you feel cheap.
For instance when one of them
thinks he has just about finished
you, you chime up to this effect:
"Do you mean that in a pejorative
sense?” he will be unable to give an
answer, because he will not know
what "pejorative” means. It means
contemptuous, deprecatory or dis
paraging. slighting or imputing evil.
You pronounce’ it “pe-jor-a-tiv,” with
accent on the “jor.” Practice it an
hour a day uiitil you can use it as
nonehant’y as if yon had known it
since the day of your birth.

North Carolina’s Credit Best in His
tory.
Winston-Salem Journal.
The credit of North Carolina is
right now the best il has ever been.
Governor McLean, just back from
New York, is said to be greatly
'elated —and be certainly has a right
to he — over the fact that the bonds
of the State are now being sold on
the market on a basis of an interest
rate of 4.30 per qent. the highest
pricse ever paid for North Carolina
bonds.
A news story in the News and Ob
server says:
“The last issue of $20,125,000.
which Governor McLean and Treas
urer B. It. Lacy have just delivered,
were sod by the State on the basis
of an interest yield of 4.49 tier cent,
and the highest market price ever
before recorded was on a basis of
4140 per cent. This is in the class of
the interest rate paid by the United
States- Government, but Governor *
McLean is confident that the State
can in the future get an even higher
price for its bonds.”
All of which reminds us to wonder
what has become of those well-mean
ing gentlemen who said that the
State’s credit would be ruined by
going so heavily in debt for highways
and schools. The “Program of Pro
gress” has had precisely the opposite
effect" from what many believed it
would have on the State’s financial
standing in the world. Instead of in
juring the State’s credit we have
boosted it by spending money on
roads and .schools.
All of which goes to prove that
North Carolina, is abundantly able to
push forward with her highway and
school program. Surely the bugaboo
pj: l<jst eredit cannot longer be used
