THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1931 Henderson. N, C. VANCE NEWS-LEADER Henderson, N. C. PAGE 5 MANY TO SEER STATE OFFICES ng Down East; Maxwell Like ly To Get Into Race OFFICIALS TO RESORTS By M. L. SHIPMAN FIALEIGH. July 13.—The dog days are here and with them more political gossip than North Caro lina has known before in a long time lor an off year. If it isn’t a new candidate being groomed for Governor, then It is a new candi date to run against Senator Morri son. There are other jobs, too, such as Attorney General and Commis sioner of Labor and Printing. There is sure to be a crop of candidates for the job of State auditor. The warmest political campaign in years is in the offing. Judge Tam Bowie, of West Jef ferson, was down east the past week on a fishing expedition. The public got the impression that he was more interested ;in political pro specting than in catching fish, especially after he announced in Raleigh that somebody had to run against Senator Morrison. The im- presssion became pretty general that he was putting up his own lightning rod, for Prank Grist has already annotmoed his candidacy for Senator. If opposition were all there was to it, then the Senator has the oposition. This talk brought Clyde Hoey, of Shelby, into |.the limelight, but he adhered to his announced intention of waiting un til the first of the year to make a decision. This was interpreted in some quarters as meaning that Governor Gardner may get into the contest. Some wise political obser vers still believe there is a chance for the Governor to get Into the contest. There was more talk of the Max well candidacy for Governor. There appeared little doubt that if suf ficient encouragement were given the Commissioner of Revenue that he would get into the race. How ever, he has done no more so far than put out a feeler. In the mean time, J. C. B. Edringhaus, of Eliza beth City, was actively scouting about the State and Lieut. Gov “Dick” Fountain was on the war path. Attorney General Brummitt was sticking to his office, but let ting no grass grow under his feet. General Albert Cox, of Raleigh, who has been mentioned for years, was believed to be out of the race. Jose phus Daniels was vacationing In Western North Carolina. ^aCammissioner of Insurance Dan Boney, who has kept out of the papers more than any other State official during recent months, was on the front pages with a hearing on the forty-three per cent, increase in rates for automobile liability in surance. It appeared that the in crease was based on the experience hi the last two years. The Commis- Bloner said this was too short a period in which to gather statis tics for insurance purpose, that five years was the nearest time that should be considered. He had the backing of local insurance agents, who have a hard enough time get ting business on the present cost. As the legislature has not given the Insurance Commissioner the power to fix rates, all he can do is to ap peal to public opinion. Thimble, thimble, who has the thimble, seems to be the game as to fixing responsibility for the cut of twenty per cent in the wages of janitors in the State Capitol. The Budget Bureau said the Legislature was to blame, the Attorney General said there was no basis in law for the cut, but in the meantime the new Personnel director, Prank Dun lap, had issued an order that the cut should go into effect. The milk In the cocoanut seemed to be that plenty of men are waiting for the Jobs at any price. If janitors don’t like the cut, then they can get out, and there wiU be a line a mile long of applicants for their places by men who are in need of a bread ticket. Intense hot weather made vaca tions popular and many State of ficials, who had wrestled for months with problems during the long ses sion of the Legislature, sought week-end refuge at the seashore or in the moimtains. Governor Gard ner, who was greatly fatigued by his siege with the Legislature, re turned from a vacation and took up again the numerous problems with which his Administration is faced. He had been forced to take a rest, being unable to attend the Fourth of July celebration at Guilford Bat tleground, as he had hoped to do. Uneasiness over the two million dollar deficit was greatly relieved when a New York bank funded the whole account for six months at the low rate of two and one-half per cent. With ipractically no new bonds being issued, and some of the old bonds being paid off, it was pointed out that the State is not near as bad off financially as some had pictured it. Instead of being on the down grade, it is actually on the mend. As it can borrow money much cheaper than an individual. It was pointed out furtiher that there is no need to worry at this time about a deficit. Every dollar THAT NEVER HAPPE^ IT LOO.i^S OKI YOU MUST^CHe WHILE OFFICE IKTEftllAtlONAL CAtTOON COM. V. that the State puts into circulation helps business. Already the enlarg ed road program is declared to be boosting business. Raleigh got a great kick out of the visit of S. Clay Williams, presi dent of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, to the home town of Representative A. D. MacLean to speak before the Chamber of Com merce. While it was not hailed as the miUenium it was viewed as a hopeful omen. The long session of the Legislature did insure discus sion of tax problems, and this was taken as further evidence of the fact that North Carolina is going to work out of its present financial troubles in a spirit of fair play. His visit to the Eastern tobacco produc ing belt to explain his side of the tobacco problem was viewed as marking a new era in the history of the State. Another hopeful omen for a bet ter business era in the State was the award of a quarter of a million dollars contract for the erection of new city auditorium in Raleigh. True, the Capitol City has to have a new auditorium, hard times or no hard times, but it was only a short time ago that the bond issue was authorized and the contract for plans has already been made. It usually takes the Federal govern ment a couple of years to get its plans ready after a new building is authorized. North Carolina cities can get into action in a much short, er time. Every new building con tract means more money in circul ation. A determined campaign is being waged in behalf of H. E. Miller, sanitary engineer for the State Health Board, who was due to get the boot. The engineering profes sion has gotten behind him. Talk that professional jealousy of physi cians was responsible for giving him the boot were denied by State Health Officer J. M. Parrott. The engineers have aroused National in terest in his retention. Economy had been given as the reason for getting rid of him. Railroads of the country prepar ing to wage a fight for a general increase of fifteen per cent in their rates will have opposition in North Carolina, which already suf fers greatly from discriminatory freight rates. The Corporation Com mission is preparing to wage a vigorous fight against the proposed Increases at the hearings before the Interstate Commerce Commission, which begin the latter part of this month. Further increases, it is de clared, would only accentuate the present rate discriminations as compared with Virginia. Raleigh recallists are having a hard time to keep their campaign alive. With a hearing set later in the month on the question of the right of recallists to have their names withdrawn, the leaders are trying now to get enough names to keep the recall alive without the names of those who have with drawn, but are having a difficult time to find them. There has been comparatively little Interest in the campaign. It has now been nearly a year since the crash of the Raleigh Banking and Trust Company with one and one-half million dollars in deposits and no depositor has yet received a penny of his money. Suit has been started against the direc tors alleging mismanagement and the former president, W. B. Drake, has been indicted, but no money has been paid. The trial of Drake was postponed imtu Fall. With the opening of the newly paved highway between Old Fort and Marion, North Carolina now has a main street or six hundred miles of paved road through the State, stretching from the ocean to the highest peaks of the West. This is something that no other State can boast of in the way of variety of scenery. It is one of the State’s ■biggest advertisements. Millions of motorists have traveled this road.
