Mr. Httey'% Rwttrd It is to bo admitted that a governor of North Carolina can do-tittle, that his power is limited, but his influence great, And it is a bit difficulty for a governor to make a record. However. Governor Hoey, retiring from the Kaleigh man sion next week, has established two records that will go down in history; He has made more speeches than any other governor or group of governors combined Multiply his number of speeches by about 100 and the resulting cal culation will give the number of times he has had his picture taken. Mr. Hoey has played the role of a dignified governor, impressing the boys in far-removed states. Let's examine the likable old gentleman's record. There's really littleTff brag about, for he has paraded as a great Democrat and play ed so close to the Republican fence and in op position to the national administration that at one time it was difficult to determine his col ors In that role he has not played fail with the people of North Carolina except those who were associated with the Republican party or bolted and became Willkiecrats He enacted permanent revenue measures, but the common people have fell no difference in their tax load since their enactment. He advertised the State or the high spots in the State, leaving the backwoodsman mired in the mod There have been no major labor disturbances. Mr Hoev says, but whatever advantages labor has gained these past four years were not gam ed at the hand of the retiring governoi An enlarged road system is pointed out as one of his major achievements Yes. a two-mil lion dullur bridge across Albemarle Sound was handed him by one Mr Ehringhaus. There's a pleasure road on top of the mountains in west ern North Carolina, but Mr. Hoev saw to it that little tax money from North Carolina gaso line was diverted from ti\e hubs formed bv his appointed commissioners. An extensive road project across a useless lake will stand as a monument to his road expansion program. If the real facts were known, it would likely show up on his record that the secondary roads of this State have been cheated that numerous spokes could be added to the eleven hubs The governor says that taxes have not been increased. And that's encouraging. He has seen a modern probation system es tablished. and made doublv sure about the tier sonal appointments which in some instances literally stink The department of mstice has been enlarged. This is a worthy step, but at the same time it is an admission that law enforcement in the poli tical subdivisions has broken down An increase in the number of highway pa trolmen was effected, but possibly the governor anticipated labor trouble when additions were made. Social security legislation was literally ram med down his throat, but he smacked his lips when it came to appointments, and right now this State is spending about one-fourth of its welfare money for administering the program And that's disgusting Mr. Hoey refers to a great building program during his administration. But the money was furnished by a government in Washington and it is no secret that he attacked or turned a cold shoulder to that administration in numerous instances. Possibly his attacks and sneers were justified, but why boast of a building program advanced by that administration to relieve a class of people Mr. Hoey never really met dur ing his four years in Raleigh? The State has had a balanced budget every day of his four years in office. Give any state the right to tax the food, the clothes, coffins and baby carriages and it will show a balanc ed budget. And if that State adheres to cer tain principles, it will show a larger surplus that Mr. Hoey and his administration are now boasting about. There has been a $26,000,000 debt reduction under Mr. Hoey. That's fine, but shouldn't that reduction have been even greater? Theres' his advanced and enlightened~ pris on system. While Mr. Hoey may have had fine in mind, he was watching for a way to build up a surplus cash fund There have been gains in public health, but those gains are traceable to the counties and the federal government mostly, the State man ipulating the funds The highway safety program must not be ov erlooked and neither the appointments there Mention is made in his record of election law amendments. Those amendments were a bit late, too be sure. Tjme and pressure brought reform, not Mr. Hoey. Graduate courses were established for Ne groes in Negro colleges. But it is to be remem bered that the United , States Supreme court instigated that There's the State Alcoholic Beverages Con trol Board. If there ever was a joke in this State, it is the liquor board Designed to pre vent abusives arising in connection with the operation of the states, the commission is wringing wet with political appointments and top-high salaries. Agriculturally speaking the farmer has been all but overlooked by the administration, but he is grateful for the work done in eradicating the Japanese Beetle and other insects, includ ing ticks. _ h- short Mr Hoey wax given a high-powor ed machine four years ago. He has steered it down the road, swerving neither to the left nor to the right, stopping just long enough to make a speech and have his picture taken. He is turn ing the machine over to his successor, possibly in no worse condition than he found it, but certainly without any great improvement. ty-r-then, the fit?!" has admired Mr. Hoey. He is st.11 a Christian gentleman in their eyes. And we concur. But he is not to go down in his tory ai; the State's greatest governor. Anotlirr Lef(i*laturv Anothei session ol the legislature gets under way in Raleigh this week. It is generally be lieved that the 1941 meeting will be compara tively short, and that it holds hope for improv ing the condition of the State. Past sessions have created such a big mess that conditions can get 110 worse, and If the session now about to open does anything at all it will have to be for the better There are certain encouraging features about the administration entering office Thursday. It is generally admitted that the people have chosen an able man for governor, a man who the people believe will not accept the status quo theory but one who will take a definite stand on questions other than those of a moral nature. Mr J. M. Broughton enters the office of Gbvorribi a friend of the people, and the people have high hopes that he will remain their friend. While there are those who will attempt to guide (he affairs of State after their own patterns, it is admitted that some good men are gomg in to support Mr Broughton, and there is good reason to expect a progressive ad ministration, ? Martin County, expecting no more than fts lair share, is longingly looking for relief from its bad secondary road system. Martin Coun ty has been kicked around long enough, and it is disappointing to review the treatment ac corded it by the Hoey administration. Robbed of a huge investment made in the State's high way system twenty years ago. the people have been ignored by succeeding administrations while politics bridged the wide waters with two-million dollar bridges, leveled off the mountain tops, and formed hubs of concrete ribbons around many of the commissioners' homes. The people are hoping and praying that politics will be ousted from the highway set up and that future programs will, be based on fairness and needs. While Martin County citizens are interested in a few local matters and state-wide legisla tion, they have their attention centered 011 a New Deal in North Carolina's highway system. ('.onpratiilalion* for lloll Senator Rush Holt, of West Virginia, must have been highly pleased a few days ago when official Nazidom recognized his work in this country. The Senator, after attacking the ad ministration at every turn, fell in line with the aims and practices of Hitler, and he was con gratulated by the' Nazis a few days ago. If Mr. Holt is as smart as he thinks he is why doesn't he recognize his defeat at the polls last primary and act accordingly? With Holt's term drawing to a close as an official in the govern ment. the future for the government and the people, too, looks brighter. "A If ay To A Happy Mote Year" By Dr. Robert Brewster Beattie To leave the old with a burst of song, To recall the right and forgive the wrong; To forget the thing that binds you fast To the vain regrets of the year that's past; To have the strength to let go your hold Of the not worthwhile of the days grown old, and To dare go forth with a purpose true, To the unknown task of the year that's new; To help your brother along the road To do his work and lift his load; To add your gift to the world's good cheer, Is to have and to give a Happy Year." Doc Anklam used to say: Some bachelors have a tough time tryin' to decide whether they should stay single and disappoint a few women for a while, or to get married and disappoint one woman for the rest of her lite. 1940 VERSION vi YbOrfMCMM C* A ?olt, GOio?rt Ifl ADMINISTRATOR S NOTICE Having qualified as administrator of the estate of Buck Roberson. de ceased, this is to notify all persons having claims against said estate to present them for payment on or be fore the 2Vth day of Deieniber. 44*44^ or this notice will-be pleaded in bar of their recovery.
