FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1919 “A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION” The Asheville Times of last Sunday carries an editorial in rejjard to the tannery at this place, which is in as follows: “When the plant was orisdnally crcctod progressive business men of Brovarcl contribvtted enough money to buy a site for the plant at a cost of scrno hinj; like $G,500, and now U-at the oriiiinal plant has been to- {a’ly destroyed it has been hinted around that unless there is additional fi:i.incial encoura^’ement from the res ide iits of the town the plant may be ir.cved to another town. “And therein lies the trouble. Many vf the business inen have expressed a \vi: to aj-jain contribute a roa- : o;.:ibic aniount in order to retain the pia. l, but this opinion is by r.o means uni\x’*?al, sonic of the or.pcnor.ts of the measure have expi\^istd ihcm- selvos of the opinion that the' town nhouid not only refu;.e to aji'ain con tribute to ■the rebuikh'ntr but should talce steps to prevent the i.lniil bein;? re-c:^tablir;ht'd within E:'.--r;i:T: (iis- tiince of the town at all. “A resident of TrctnLVr. t’.Viia icai'iy loves a fijrht, and since the proposi tion under discussion has two i^ide?. to it ihe pcoj)Ie in the upper French Broad valley are rot dif?po"ed to pass the matter'by without strenuously in- ristin" upon cavryinf? their y)olnt. The t uteome of the discussion v» iil be V‘pitched v.'ith interest.” We think the Times has baen n’is- Iniornied, as VwV’ have not heard any thing of any hirts for additional fin ancial aid. In v.'o do l>-‘l;v.vc the raar.agement of the Tr." n. vivania Tannln.’X Company v.'culd accent a:r‘ financial aid. As v;e undcr.-;a" i vhat they want is simply to a-^:- ' the pleasure of the people, an.; .v;y : the Times speaks of “oppo': lUc ; the tannery” a gyave injustice ir. x (o the progressive spirit of tlu of this county. When the tannery was built the people of this county plevl;.\i-1 ti.'.ir loyal support to the enler-n'.s.' anvi the progressive citizens oi 'Ir:uur,i- var.ia have no idea of goin.r back un their pledge. They stand r:a:iy to back up the promises they have r.'.a.Ie. Candidates for Governor are bob bing up thick and fast lately, wliile the office of Lieutenant Governor is not likely to go beggin". Fo:' the office of Governor, Mr. Cameron Tvlor- ri?on, of Charlotte, was the first to break the news to the folks in pub lic announcement. Next came Hon. E. X. Page and now comes the nevv's that the Hon. Rufus A. Dou-^hton, the veteran representative from Al legheny is almost pursuaded to toss his hat in the ring. He is a former Lieutenant Governor and a former speaker of the House. Lieutenant Governor Gardner v/ill also try his 1 and in the skirmish. May the best man carry off the prize. ^OULD HAVE BEEN EMBARRAS SING. Ten thousand dollars may be need ed to properly enforce the so-called ^hild labor law enacted by the recent Jcneral Assembly, but the House of Representatives probably did the .'Ight tiling by refusing, in the closing iours of the sesion, to pass the Sen- ite bill increasing the appropriation rrom $6,000 to $10,000 per annum. The proposition did not look good on ts face and there is small wonder hat the members shied at the idea of :)aying $4,000 more a year to the commission named in the act finally acted than was asked for in the Con- nor-Saunders bill offered by the De partment of Labor and Printing, for Tor a similar purpose. The proposed increase in the appropriation v.as an admission by the proponents of the n'’.easure ratified that they had secur ed the passage of a bill without pro viding means of enforcement. But r.erhaps, vhat was the intention at the outset. Of course, a greater sum will be needed for the use of the commission created by, the passage of the sub stitute measure, for the reason that executive ofiicer is named in the bill and no provision v.as made for rontin;.;' and equip'ping an office. Had machinery for the enforcement of the law been placed in . the Depart ment of Labor, the CommiiJsioner ould liave been the executive cfTicer, with adov'^uate quarters already equip ped for handling the work without t'ifnculty. One additional clcrk to ;ai;e care of the reports of inspectors • ou!d have been needed, perhaps, but .he appropriation asked for in the r^'parlinent biil was considered sjuf- .5'.-e;'.i: to n.ake a nughly good star". ^'inyv.a... vJt'C all that the -jf Labor asked for in the ’ ill pro2>oscd aiid the people of the State v/culd have been justified in nrote."5ting a seemingly uniiecessary 'appropriation, in that the suggestion 'or it had been created by the uniien- ablo pordtion of a fev/ prejudiced i^gislalors who failed to give a vrilid reason for their actions in the child abcr fight. Spending, without ap parent excuse, $4,000 annually of the ncople’s money v.’ould have been hard o explain in the next campaign and ..:embcro of the House decided not to roate the issue. As a matter of Tact, . 0 justification of such a CDursc could . aVC been made and the democratic /arty may congratulate itself on hav- ng been spared the embarrassment of flaccing the treasury of the State cf $4,000 annually for two years by the refusal of the House to become a party to an attempted correction of an inexcusiable blunder in the enact ment of a child labor law. It is better to be safe than to be sorry. cally defective school children was provided for in the enactment of ap propriate legislation. Other recommendations v/hich met the approval of the General Assem bly were: Fixing a minimum salary for public school teachers; to make sanitary closets compulsory for the owner of property on which a closet is located withing 300 feet of a dwel ling; ratification of the Federal pro hibition amendment; provide for a budget system; to prevent perpetua tion of species by idiots and imbe ciles, and other matters of signifi cance. While the Chief Executive did not get everything he wanted his recom mendations blazed the way for the enactment of many wholesome laws of a distinctly progressive charactcr. AT THE METHODIST CHURCH The Legislature did not forget ths Confederate soldiers. It found a way to increase their pensions and this year’s Christmas gift will represent more evidence of appreciation for the services rendered from sixty-one to sixey-five than hes ever been present- bsfore. Surviving sons of the sixties received from the State treasury last year, all told, the sum of 525,000. The recent General Assembly decided to bring it up to $700,000. They ought to have a mlllioi:.

THE GOVERNOR SCORED SOME POINTS The General Assembly incorporat- v"d a number of Governor Bickett’s recommend^jtions into law and ignor ed others. His proposition to erect a new building for the Department of Agriculture on the campus of the .'sorth Carolina College of Agricul ture and Engineering was turned cvn fiat. Likewise his idea of a h'ghv.ay measure. The Agricultural Departmcn building is to be builded on the present site in th.e city of Raleigh, and a compromise road bill v.as agreed upon which provides for a Sate system with optional county aid.
