tered for this I Hilar of the Legis

This could be expected ? since
?? mumy different tms af trxw
are being considered this time
But it loot so, according to Secre
tarjr ot State Tbad Bwre. Ke ought
la know, far each lobbyist la re
quired to have his name in that
beak kept for the purpose ia Thad
Eure's private office in the nortk
aaat corncr of the Capital.

"Didn't count them ? but would
?ay the number of lobbyists is
about the same as in 1090 or 1997.
Reason I looked is that I had
heard we had more of them around
this time. About the same."
Profitable Scheme
Not all the lobbyists ? those men
referred to (speaking of them
selves. mostly) as "members of
the Third House"? are yet oc
cupied, it seems.
At any rate we heard one of
them say to an organization
friend the other day words to this
effect:
"Why don't you all get that bill
introduced to put aa end t? ?
?"
The Organization Man said they
had about given up on that one,
didn't think such a bill would get
through?and they were not inter
ested in having it intraduoed this
session.
The Organization Han could
have made $3,000-$7,000 for the
lobbyist by having such i bill
thrown into the hopper. The day
the measure was introduced, the
firms sure to lose money or busi
ness by its passage would call up
their old friend and ask him to
lobby against it. The fee would be
a good one, according to the im
portance of the bill, the strength
of 1U Introducer, the size of the
firm hit, etc. Bat no bill, no lob
byist, no fee. Hence the convera

The steady expansion of State
Government or Ion of female*
through pregnancy, Federal em
ployment, or both, can be aaen
through advertiaeaieats for "Stan
ographen for State Government"
being ran by the N. C. Employ
ment Security Commisaian'a local
office in Raleigh.
It la interesting to compare the
experience required and the salar
ies offered, etc., with ditto far
teachers. Hare goes:
"Must have at least It months
experience or equivalent training
in college or business school.
Vscancies for engineering, legal,
technical and general secretarial
work. Salary range $S,132-$3,996
Beginning salary commensurate
with experience and training.
Three waeks vacation, 10 holidays
and 10 daps sick leave each year."
The average school teacher in
North Carolina ? after four expen
sive year* In college (as against 18
months above)? begins work at a
salary of 12,799 par yaar, has no
free holidays, no siek leave, no
paid vacation.
Sometimes it does seem as If the
Lord has indeed smiled on the
Old North State tn permitting us
to have even as good school sys
tem ss we have. The aga of Mirac
les is not completely plat.
Ruination
Last winter one of our friends
working for the State developed
a peculiar growth on the foot.
There was fear of cancer. Tests
pointed to malignancy.
A large portloif of skin running
deeply into the side of the foot
wss removed and skin from the
leg grafted to the foot. There was
infection, but It soon cleared up
and the patient was able to return
to work with no ill effecta. This
