-wlmlly KHIatt*
Each session of the
General Assembly opens
with many statewide issues
baiting to be taken up along
with local level concerns
which pass through the>
legislature relatively unno
ticed. The United Press news
service issued a poll of the
1937 North Carolina legis
lators listing their kip con
cerns.
The session opened Jan
uary 6 and a poll of 200
legislators from North Caro
lina appeared in the January
14, 1937 issue of THE
DUPLIN TIMES. Listed
among the k>p priorities of
the legislators were better
pay and conditions for school
teachers, labor laws and
shifting some financial obli
gations of the counties to the
shoulders of the state.
Many of the issues sche
duled to be taken before the
1937 North Carolina General
Assembly have had a great
impact on our state and its
citizens. Other 1937 issues
are still unsettled and appear
before us today needing re
evaluation and up-dating.
Topping the list was edu
cators. The legislature
wanted to pay school
teachers by the month in
stead of the term. And, edu
cators hoped for a pay raise
and provision of a retirement
fund.
Legislators hoped to pass a
law for an eight-hour day and
a 40-hour work week in North
Carolina's industry and the
banning of women working
in factories at night.
The issue of shifting
county and district school
bonds to the shoulders of the
state was among the top
concerns of legislators, along
with clarification of the
state's divorce laws.
Regarding capital punish
ment, the legislators pro
posed discontinuing the use
of the gas chamber and
restoring the electric chair.
Clarification of the duties of
the state parole board was
also among (he issues (o
come before (he 1937
General Assembly.
Reapporiionmen( was (o
come before the legislators in
order to provide North
Carolina citizens with equal
representation as stated in
the constitution. The legis
lature was also to face a bill
to abolish the absentee
ballo*.
Legislators were to face
the decision of placing the
sta'c highway commission
under a separate adminis
trative unit and whether to
provide an automobile for
each member of the patrol.
The issue of authorizing the
state to issue county license
tags, at a substantial de
crease in license fee for
trucks and trailers used only
within the limits of the
county, was to come before
the legislators.
Taxing scrap tobacco off
the market was proposed to
the legislators in,?1937 and
es ablishing interstate com
pacts for control of the
peanut crop was to be settled
in the session.
Many legislators were
polled favoring free fishing
and hunting licenses for all
adults over 65 years of age. A
state school of forestry at
Cullowhee College in
Jackson County was
proposed for discussion and
ballot in the 1937 General
Assembly.
And. along less serious
notes, the legislators wanted
to prohibit patent medicine
shows in the stale. Medicine
shows are not common
today, but in the pas1 miracle
cures were said to be just a
spoonful away by taking a
dose of the medicines carried
by the traveling men wo
often called themselves doc
tors. The medicines were1
cures of a sort, often con
taining high amounts of al
cohol; the patient would
become slightly intoxicated
and forget his or her affix
ation.
