News of the Kaieish. N. C.?Neither the stfho^! bill nor the highway biii has creat-i,; ed more interest in any on*- week f than has the Bur.corobe racing bill. ! which has occupied the center of the i stage Cor the past vyeek and was fi- ? naily given an unfavorable report by the Senate committee Friday, after j i that committee had previously given < it a favorable report. The entire Senate body also reversed itself on Friday night, tabling the bill and putting the '"clincher" on ~t so it cannot come up again except by two- i thirds vcte. The bill provided that racing tracks and devices may he erected in Buncombe County at a cost approaching half a million dollars, toi; be rented at $5,000 a day for 3t> j days a ye ear foi horse and dog rac-i ing and operation of pari-mutuel de-t vices?gambling machines ? which' | NC == We will have on 1 1 Armour | Higl ??

The committee is probably appreaching, but has by no means arrived. at a solution of the problem. It may yet be necessary to continue the present plan with an increased Equalizing Fund. W hile the 70th day of the session is about here, the General Assembly members are by no means near their return home. Most of the important bills are yet to be threshed out on the floors of one or both houses.

C. amendments arc being added to it. a The highway measure has passed \ both houses, but conference com- ^ miltees are still trying to iron out S minor differences. All of the bills relating to reor-j gainzalion of the government have . made some progress during the i week, including those to establish a v personnel department, a purchasing fi agent, reorganization of the Depart- j: merit of Agriculture, establishing a <j separate banking department, ap- f pointment by the Governor of the n members c.f the Corporation Commission. but tune will be requiredjn to get them through. A bill to ere-J ii ate a new Department of Labor, v making the commissioner appoint- s, ive, and specifying divisions, is under way. The Finance arid the ap- o propriations bills are by no means complete and will require fully a week after they are reported out. \ The bill to provide for a State insurance fund for insuring employees d under the Workmen's Compensation act was killed in the Senate, but oth- v er bills to amend the Compensation u act, interpreting and modifying it, will probably pass. I The omnibus bill, naming members o of the county boards of education, has been introduced. It usually n brings out many local fights and ef torts to turn out boards by other factions. The omnibus bill naming: ^ magistrates has not yet made its ap- 9 pearance. J Prognosticators are moving tip;* their dates for adjournment, most of them now believing it will be Ap-j^ lil 1 before the General Assembly can finish its work. * A summary of the activities so far'J shows that almost exactly 1,500 bills ( * have been introduced. 1,050 in the > House and 150 in the Senate.

IJ Revaluation, an important matter, 4 postponed until March 15, has again 2 been postponed until April 1, while J bills have been introduced post pen- J ing it until 193.1. This is to preeipi-r J tate another hard fight before the 1 session ends... 4 Although an effort whs made l??|J stop introductions of bills after 1 4 March 10th, a resolution to that end * having passed the Senate, except hyjJ consent on two-thirds vote, it failed J in the House and they continue toj4 be thrown into the hopper, but not 2 as many as formerly.
