slate employes, noting Governor
Cherry's public utterances that
their salaries should be raised, are
expecting increases approximating
& per cent. Ihey s,ay the cost of
living has increased even more.
They have almost unanimous sup
port of legislators who, incident
ally, cannot get more than $10 a
day for their services. A proposed
constitutional amendment which
would have allowed legislators an
additional $10 a day for 60 days
for expenses was defeated by the
people. i
Governor Cherry, when inausn-
rated in 1945, asked that the SBI,
the highway patrol and the hurpan
of identification be united. His ef
forts were fruitless in that legisla
tive session but Cherry is dogmatic
and tenacious. Sources close to him
say that he will again seek that
consolidation in 1947 if he does,
the sheriffs of the state will od-
pose him, as they did two years ago.
borne sales lax opponents are
likely to seek its abolilion. The
sales tax, however, in all likelihood
will stay in North Carolina. There
might be several minor chances as
to its enforcement.
The proposed chances in soliri-
torial districts, as recommended bv
a special commission appointed by
Governor Cherry as directed by
the 1945 assembly, would decrease
the number from 21 to 19. increase
tle pay of solicitors from $4,500
to $6,000 a year and increase their
travel allowance from $500 to
$1,500 a year. Also, solicitors could
not engage in the private practice
of law.
As in every assembly, however,
there will be sonic unexpected
piece of legislation that may re
sult in long and continued debate.
Sources close to the scene here
expect a session lasting well into
March and perhaps into April.
