REORGANIZATION SNAGGED V W W W U O V JC M Y ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ~r t *•* • • * * • • • • • Legislature Half Through, With Many Problems (Special to The Herald) Raleigh, Feb. 2—Apparently the 1933 General Assembly was from one to two weeks ahead of former bodies as it ended its fourth week, but still is a little short of the half-way mark as the first week was a short one. Unless unex pected difficulties arise, this body may be expected to complete its work within the 60-day period, or not long thereafter. But it still has many problems to solve. Committees have been at work morning, afternoon and night in hearing and considering bills be fore them. Finance committees have heard plaints of many lines of business and industry against imposition of higher taxes, while the appropriations committees have been hearing pleas for more mon ey for activities carried on by the state. The reorganization commit tee is beseiged with prayers against abolishing or consolidating and eliminating many posts. All committees are having their trou bles, and are meeting them as they appear. Seemingly there is a definite trend discernable against the wholesale abolishing and consolidat ing recommended by the reorgan ization committee. This is due in large part to the pleas of those who would be hurt, but also in part to forging ahead by this commit tee and its demand for action on its measures without committee hear ings. The trend is shown by the reversal of the legislative bodies in calling for committee hearings. Doubt is now expressed that even half of the recommendations will be enacted, or that even a small percentage of the $2,000,000 pre dicted will be saved if all are en acted. Health, welfare, educational, agricultural and other forces are beginning to make their voices heard. And it will be hard to get abolishing legislation through, even though there is a huge demand for economy. Two of the com mittee’s measures have been enact ed into law, one providing for the voluntary return of $1,000 a year by justices and judges, which was agreeable to them; the other trans fers the Legislative Reference Li brarian to the Attorney General’s office.

Martin, 83, Nortli Dakota legislator, had his state senate con sider a resolution that 40 western states secede from eight Eastern states which he charged “manipu lated Congress at the expense of the others." New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, "ermont and Massachusetts are guilty states. I But when it conies to abolishing the test farms, combining the highway and prison departments, making gasoline and oil and weights and measures inspector of the Highway Patrol, abolishing the Corporation Commission and pro viding a public utilities commis sioner instead, and a few others suggested, there is due a mighty opposition. Some of these may get over, but it seems doubtful. At the end of the fourth week about 485 bills had been introduc ed, nearly 150 in the Senate and about 335 in the House, but most were born to die. So far only 53 bills and resolutions had been rat fied, most of them local and sev eral of the perfunctory sort. Sen ate bills introduced last week num bered about 455, while House meas ures went above 100. Last week the bills and resolu tions ratified and which are now the law include regulation of lob bying, which requires lobbyists to register and to stay off the floors *1 ~ THI PUBLIC should bs prudent in seeking relief from pain.

Bunding and Boan Associations are now permitted to purchase stock and borrow money from Fed eral Home Loan Banks, cannot be thrown into receiverships so easily, do not have to pay license fees for agents, and the laws are made clearer otherwise. A resolution dealing with the presentation of the portrait of the late Captain Nathan O’Berry, former Sttea Treasurer, last week, and another provides for celebrating the 100th nniversary of the laying the cor nerstone of the State Capitol on July 4, probably by the Masons who laid the stone. A flurry was caused by the reso lution calling on Industrial Com missioner T. A. Wilson to explain who paid for paper, stamps and stenographic work on a letter he issued to employees asking them to provide petitions against abol ishing the commission and the workmen’s compensation law. It went to a committee and may or may not amount to much. One bill is in that would abolish the comission, another would place it under the Commissioner of La bor, and another would allow street railway employees to be brought under its provisions. The expected beer and wine bill, placing a tax on the sale and le galizing them if the U. S. Congress does likewise, has made its appear ance, signed by 11 members. An other by “Pete” Murphy would permit medicinal liquor. The Cover Turlington Act repealer is resting in committee, but this prob ably will not. The State-wide primary law re peal is also sought. The commit tee on Elections Laws reported un favorably the bill to repeal it, but strength was shown in the House when it was re-referred for fur ther hearing. If it weathers the storm it will be by a close call. Another bill would abolish the sec ond primary, and another would change it to August. The barbers strengthened their hold when they got through the Senate a bill taking them out from under the State Board of Health, extending the scope of the Barber License Law to every vil lage and hamlet, and allow only those far in the country, or par ents, employees or tenants to do barber work. A similar act is sought by those who practice the cosmetic art, a bill introduced shows. The House has yet to pass on the barber bill. The medical profession is seek ing to get authoity to discipline its members and revoke licenses as well as license, in a bill partly through. The lawyers are after a similar authority, a bill intro duced providing for the examining of applicants, disciplining or with drawing licenses from lawyers. All county boards of education and county superintendents of schools would be abolished and 30 school districts, with as many school boards and superintendents established by a measure in the hopper, while another would pro vide that two or more small coun ties could elect one superintendent Teachers would not be required to attend summer school, the compul sory attendance law would be amended and a textbook commis sion would be appointed, under other bills. Three new bills would regulate and tax motor trucks, one having been killed. Miss Elmira Jenkins spent the week-end in Lumberton with friends.
