An inspiring , record" is the suggestive caption that Governor Bickett gives a special summary . of important legislation that he prepar d for the newspapers of the State, as reviewing the work of the 1919 legislature, just adjourned. He says that "its record will declare its glory" was the way he expressed his faith in this assembly in his message at the opening of the session and he is deeply grateful that its work had jus tified his "confession of faith." The governor review the legisla tion of the session in a most gratified vein, beginning with the petition for a league of nations, ratification of the national prohibition amendment to the constitution ;'and in, taxation, ed ucation, health and all the other ave nues of legislative contact with the people, stressing especially , the school, good roads, and health legislat ion.

The bill of Senator Brown, of Columbus', for a .constitu tional convention went to its death in the house this afternoon by almost a unanimous vote after, it had passed the senate by a large 'majority some weeks ago. Its death was largely due to consideration of the success of the income tax .amendment to the present constitution, that has to he submitted to the people for. ratification at the, next election,, and a desire to not ham per this issues with any question as to further revision of the constiution. ' .This,' the last busy legislative day of the session, saw, the ratification of the State highway federal i aid bill that gave both branches of the legisla ture so much trouble in reaching a compromise.'

It is not a oerfect record. A careful reading of The Journal will disclose , errors of commission, but. viewed in its entire ty, it is an inspiring record. In the very beginning the general sssembly evidenced its sympathy with "the new tides running in the hearts of men." The general assembly, .of North Carolina enjoys the noble dis tinction of being the very first in the TTnion to petition the American peace commissioners in Paris to incorporate iu the treaty of peace .a league pt nations that will deliver . the, world torever from the burdens and. horrors of war. ;-v-. The general assembly promptly rat ified the federal prohibition amend ment, and thus aided in cutting out of our social and political life the most fruitful source of poverty, dis ease and crime. 7 ; Taxation (1) The budget bill is abreast with the best thought of the . times and will enable succeeding general assem blies to consider demands for the expenditure of public ..funds with a tull knowledge of all essential facts. . (2) The income tax amendment to the constitution will enable the State to derive a reasonable avenue, trom sources well able to pay it, and will wipe out the discrimination now practiced against the man who earns a small income in favor of the f man who collects a large one, and win make it possible for a succeeding gen eral assembly to write a model tax law under which it will be : unneces sary for the State to levy an ad valorem tax on real or personal prop erty, but can leave all of this to the counties and towns. ' (3) The revaluation machinery , act marks the high tide in sane and-pro- rocclvA fa-r Inci'ala Hrm t North C3.T- olina. it is a complete abandonment a standard, hoary with age and niqnity, and the establishment of, a ew ?tandard of truth and justice. I well within the bounds of conser vative statement in saying that the filed purpose of the general assembly to make all men come clean to the tax books will add more. to the moral and material welfare of our people than all the tax laws that have been writ ten .n North Carolina since Virginia Dwe first saw the light on Roanoke island. .- . ' -' " Education. , It was a monumental achievement to get the people of North Carolina to insert in the organic law of -the Slte a mandate that every , child nall,have a chance to go to school six months in the year- But it was a "lore difficult task to frame a wise and just law to carry out this , con stitutional mandate. This task has been accomplished so well that. when the measure was fully explained many, ho "came to scoff remained to pray." the beginning there seemed to be a hopeless division of opinion, .but vhen the light was turned on r. these differences disappeared and practical- y all men nf all nartlps now confess performed only when in the judgment of the medical staff they will redound to the benefit of the patients. The act that calls for the regular examination of: every child who - at tends a, public school in order to as certain the .existence of either physi cal or mental -defects and the appro priation of $50,000 per annum to cor rect these defects in indigent children breaks new ground in Uhis field o legislation. This law is bottomed on the sound principle that Christian civilization cannot alloW a child to stagger through life under the handi cap of a cdrable . physical of mental defect simply because the parents of that 'child may be stricken with po erty. A ' ' -''-' A series of acts was passed for 4he purpose of co-operating with th- federal government' in the suppression of vice and the prevention of dis eases incident to vice.

The senate tonight passed the Neal child labor bill as it canie from the house.
