With the Legislature !V" •'ISsP (By Emmet Atkins. Jr.) * Raleigh. March 20 Racing down the home stretch, with the day of adjournment in sight,. As semblymen last week got more accomplished than in any prev ious week, but not without sev eral surprise moves. Among the accomplishments they co'ild count the passage and enactment into law of tne revenue measure—the first permanent revenue law the state has ever had.

V - . . - - ... . .. fc surprise moves was the sudden administration pressure brought to bear cm the House to restore cuts in the appropriations bill previously maneuvered by the ec onomy bloc, and the subsequent refusal of the Senate to agree to the restoration. m chronological order, the see-sawy path of the money bills during the week looked something like this: a week-end session be tween the Governor and House leaders brought about a "compro mise" between the economy fac tion and the rest of the House, with the result that the House promptly restored $562,877 worth of cuts they had previously made in the appropriations measure, throwing the budget some SBOO,- 000 out of balance. Benefiting by the restoration were the Uni versity of North Carolina, the public schools. State advertising program, and the department of health. After this restoration the House sent the bill to,the Senate, expecting that body to follow its lead. But Senate members, in their best surprise move so far, flatly refused to approve the amendments, went on record in stead as favoring a budget that was substantially balanced. At this point Revenue Commissioner Maxwell stepped in, told Senate members that the revenue mea sure might "possibly" bring in more income than estimated, and that first reports indicated in come tax revenue would be high er this year than last. He prom ised to give a more accurate re- signed to make meal-plan ning easy, pleasant, more economical for you. More good news! We're able to offer you unbeliev ably low prices on these beautiful new 1939 models by Kelvinator, oldest mak er of electric refrigerators. It's the chance of a life ■ time to own one . . . don't miss it! Come in—now! TSS SLKIN TIUSUN|E. EfJKIN. NORTH CAROLINA ,— port of income returns first thing this week. Whereupon Senate members deferred action pending Maxwell's report, scheduled for Tuesday. Best advance indica tion', arc that Maxwell will on Tuesday tell the Senate that in come tax revenue is above last year and that the budget can therefore be considered "substan tially balanced." If such is the case. Senate members will likely pass the appropriations measure by the of the week, thus finishing up both the money bills, the most important and most troublesome pieces of legislation before the two bodies. Meanwhile, before its final en actment. the revenue measure likewise had a stormy week of it. Considered first by the House, 't was slashed considerably before that honorable body let go of it. When it reached the Upper House, the Senators immediatly boosted its estimated income by more than SIOO,OOO the first day, then wiped out the same boosts the following day. Sent back to the House for concurrence, it was speedily passed and enacted into permanent law. Hereafter, fu ture Assemblies will merely "amend" the present revenue bill, rather than creating an entirely new measure every two years. While loudest floor debates on the revenue measure centered around small items of bank pa per. slot machines, and punch boards, Assemblymen enacted several major taxes with some degree of permanence, such as lower inheritance tax in higher brackets, an income tax that will apply to Federal salaries and in terest from U. S. securities, de pendent upon reciprocal Federal taxes, an increased beer tax of 11-4 cents per bottle, and an in creased liquor tax of 8 1-2 per cent, of retail price. New license taxes inserted in the bill include a graduated levy against fuel pumps and a higher scale against all slot machines, except "per se" gambling devices, which remain illegal. Revenue Commissioner Maxwell estimated that the act will raise, roughly, $78,000,000 for the bien num, including $5,000,000 divert ed from highway funds as the equivalent of a three per -cent, sales tax on gasoline. The important wages and hours bill, pending before a subcom mittee of the joint committee on labor for several weeks past, was last week split in two, the sub committee voting six to two to i abandon for this session all mini , mum wage legislation, and report a bill dealing onlyAvith maximum .amours. The wage features of the bill appear to be irrevocably dead for this session since original pro ponents of wage and hour legis lation in the committee joined in voting to kill their own bills. The sub-committee agreed however to place in its hours bill a section providing for establishment of a Labor Advisory Board, to be com posed of repreesntatives of em-, ployers, employees, and the pub lic and to instruct that board to study wage conditions in the state and recommend wage and hour legislation to the 1941 as sembly. While no decisions were reached by the committee on the type of hour law to be reported, probability is that no effort will be made to change the limits placed in the 1937 maximum hours law, which placed the max imum work week for men at 55 hours and for women at 48 hours. Whatever bill is reported will likely have as its sole purpose the elimination of exemptions in the present law rather than the es tablishment of new standards. The present act contains num erous exemptions. An effort will be made to eliminate nearly all these exemptions, leaving them in the hands of the proposed Labor Advisory Board. The decision of the committee to discard wage legislation aroused keen disappointment among labor leaders who had closely followed the four weeks of healings on the bill. But they declared that adoption of the proposed law would be "better than nothing." * • • After final action on the nV->ney bills this week, the Assembly will be flooded the next two weeks with a clutter of local bilMt. No other pieces of legislation if out standing importance are /eft for for their consideration, »nd ad journment should follow close on the heels of April Pools Day. More than 500 miles of cata combs have been discovered un der the city of Rome, foaly.
