PAGE SIX THE FRANKLIN PRESS and THE HIGHLANDS MACON IAN THURSDAY, MAY 2. 1135 THROUGH CAPITAL KEYHOLES BY BESS HINTON SILVER WATCH-DOG- Senator U. L. Spence, of Moore, is the legislative watch-dog of the state highway fundi but as chair man of the senate roads committee he is keeping busy fighting the di versionists. Senator Spence shied away from a bill to give the high way commission authority to pay Dare county something in return or tolls it .now receives from the Roanoke Island bridge. The state would make the bridge toll free and the county would use the an nual state payments to retire bonds. Senator Spence feared this might be used as a lever to obligate the state highway fund to pay other county bonds. SECRETS- The joint conference committee on the biennial revenue bill decided it would rather work without bene fit of publicity and barred news papermen. The committee members took a pledge not to disclose what happened in the session until their report was made. But an hour af ter they adjourned newspapermen had little difficulty in learning what action was taken and the public was duly informed. And they talk about women being unable to keep a secret GETTING WORSE Capus M. Waynick, chairman of the state highway and public works commission, is getting worried about the condition of some of the "per manent" roads in this state. They are going to pieces in a great many places and Waynick fears that the time may come when federal aid money will be cut off and the state will find itself with a lot of broken down roads and no money to repair them. "I am going to insist on sturdiness rather than mileage in our future road con struction," Waynick said, with a view to making what hard-surfaced roads you now have actually "per manent." PAY BOOST State Treasurer Charles M. John son is going to get a raise in pay from $4,500 to $6,000 annually the first of next year as a result of a bill passed by the general assembly. That's a nice little lift but the state treasurer has not had a pay increase in the past 14 years. And the last legislature dumped all the work of the local government in his lap. STRUCK BLOW- George Ross Pou, Raleigh attorn ey and son of the late Congressman Edward W. Pou, went to bat in a radio talk against diversion of high way funds. Mr. Pou enumerated the many taxes that go to make the burden already on the motor ists of this state and predicted dire things for your roads if diversion is increased. ABSENTEE- This legislature has turned thumbs down on every move to re form statewide absentee voting. The hue and cry among the law makers is that corruption in absen tee voting is greatly exaggerated and that it is a great blessing to many voters who otherwise would be unable to cast their ballots. Nevertheless, there has been more opposition to absentee voting in this legislature than in any of its predecessors. The trend at pres ent seems to be against this sort of balloting. TEAM The Washington grapevine re ports that Congressmaa Lindsay Warren has been listening to sug gestions that he team up with Clyde R. Hoey, Shelby Democratic war-horse, in the primaries next spring. Mr. Hoey would be taking care of the gubernatorial votes and Mr. Warren looking after the Sen atorial votes,' according to the re port. The dopesters figure it out that Hoey would help Warren in the west, where he is weakest, and Warren would return the favor in the east. But somehow Raleigh is not convinced that Congressman Warren will give up the certainty of his seniority in the house for the uncertainty of unhorsing Sena tor Josiah W. Bailey. SHOWING SIGNS Legislative observers are of the definite opinion that Representative Tarn C. Bowie, the whirlwind from she county, is entertaining ideas fA opiwsing Senator Robert Rice Reynolds in the primaries of 1938.

A PLAY FROCK Pattern 8438 Long days of play ing out-of-doors in the sunshine will soon he here and wise mothers are already buying their materials and patterns to make the many little play frocks necessary in the life of the modern small girl. The gay little dress sketched is happily designed for ease and freedom of movement, adapted to an active child. , Under the sweet wide collar with its gathered ruffle there are shir rings at the shoulders of the dress. (See small sketch.) The puff sleeves are simply finished by be ing gathered in about an inch up from the lower edge, forming a ruffle. Shirred pockets and a sash in the back which slips through the side seams and underneath in front complete the frock.

N.Y tioned the matter behind closed doors on occasions and last week he took an opportunity to publicly praise Speaker Robert Grady John son as the all-time champion pre siding officer of the house. Mr. Bowie supported Representative W. L. Lumpkin, of Franklin, for the speakership in January. Speaker Johnson is said to be something of a political heavyweight in the east ern part of the state. POURED QIU- During the 1933 session of the legislature the State Denartracnt of Conservation and Development was the object of almost constant at tack. Then Governor Ehringhaus appointed R. Bruce Etheridge, of Manteo. as director of the denart- 1 ment. Now Mr. Etheridge had long been one of the most popular mem bers of the general assembly and has become one of the best liked individuals in Raleigh. Result: not one word of criticism of the Con servation department has been heard on the floor of either house this session and bills with depart mental endorsement have experienc ed smooth waters. A good general knows how to pick good lieutenants.
