Tuesday, March 16, 1937 Marking the Highway of Progress ? "No legislature in North Carolina in the past 20 years has so marked the highway of progress with achievement as has this one," Governor Clyde R Hoey pointed out in an address recently when North Carolina s lawmakers wandered down to Edenton (or an extraordinary one-day session. The governor's declaration is a bit startling and fails to define progress. If be means that this legisla ture has made progress by holding intact a domineer ing policy and a rawhide lash over the heads of the people, then he is right. If he means that the state has progressed in meeting adequately the social and economic problems that confront the common citizens of North Carolina, the record to date will cast doubt on the asserted achievements. The mechanism of our General Assembly is so ar ranged that the people are weeks and months late in learning the contents of bills introduced in the two chambers and enacted into law with few exceptions. Skeleton reports from the law production group, how ever, clearly show that the 1937 legislature has not ex hausted itself in the march of progress. The child labor amendment never received the sup port it should have received and the progress-making legislature defeated it, dosing all eyes on the lot of the child in industry. A meager $300 property exemption on the humble home of everyone who has the pride to build and establish an abode for himself and his family was re fused by the progress-making legislature. The sales tax is allowed to remain virtually un changed by a legislature that has made such great progress, according to the governor. Fruitless were the efforts of some to get the progres live legislature to reform corrupt election practices, but strong mention was made to shorten the electioo ballot or take away from the people the right to select their own nominees for court solicitors and judges. The progressive legislature stood idly by and did nothing when at last on state department pushed plans to squander two million dollars on certain projects, the merits of which have not been explained or which are not explainable to the people. The progiessjve legislature failed to recognise the teal needs of the less fortunate cooped in asylums of this state The pitiful pleas of county officials to provide space for mental cases were merely brushed aside to await the e- -..on of another legislature two years from now. Bills to insure the lives of children against diph theria were rejected by the same legislature that Gov ernor Huey so eloquently praised in his Ednton ad dress. ^ , The legislature was for a three-quarter million dol lar office building to house the ever-increasing num ber of politically picked drawers of breath and pay, and probably it is this" structure that the progressive legislature will have advertised with its $250,000 ad vertising appn priation. The legislature's 3-cent tax on meals will poison the food of the tourists and offset all the good the $250,000, or even a cool million dol lars could ever hope to do.

And the election of a man for governor and another man for lieutenant governor will not effect any change; the goats will have to lie separated from the sheep in the two houses of North Carolina's General Assembly be fore the people are to recognize Kaleigh as their cap ital and the legislature as their own. Assuming Too Many Rights In the few years that the automobile has been in operation and paved roads were built for it to run on, more and more drivers, as the years pass, fail to recog nize the use of the highway as a privilege, but rather regard a ramfiage behind a steering wheel as an undis puted right And year by year too many drivers are enlarging that right, taking inch by inch all of that that belongs to everybody. Some consider it their right to run over and kill those who by chance attempt to use the open road at the same time. And to ag gravate the situation, numbers of drivers fail to check ilicir speed, continuing on their way with the feeling that the other fellow had no business getting in their way. Knowledge of the rules of the road and the ability to handle an automobile expertly are not the only requisites of safe driving. Everyone must recognize tne rights of others and realize that it is only a privi lege one has and hot an unlimited right to operate motor vehicles on the highways. The big truckers have just about forgotten the oth er fellow, and have gone so far to gobble up the space that others are fast losing the privilege to use what is common property.
