PAGE SIX ■ —— Through Capitol Keyholes By BESS HINTON SILVER felrr * G. O. P. CANDIDATE—.Some Re publican members of the General As sembly are inclined to view with favor the suggestion that former Congressman Chas. Jonas, now the Representative from Lincoln County in the Legislature, may become a can didate for Governor next spring in opposition to Gilliam Grissom who al ready has voiced intentions of mak ing the race. Mr. Jonas attracted wide attention with his bill to provide discretion between Capital Punish ment and life imprisonment and in first degree criminal cases and his at titude favoring removal of tolls from bridges in Eastern North Carolina. It might be well to observe his smoke. DOUBT REMOVED—Former lieu tenant Governor R. T. Fountain, of Rocky Mount, has let it be publicly known that he is seriously consider ing running for Senator in opposition to Senator Josiah W. Bailey in the Democratic primaries next spring. Nevertheless, there are some rather j astute political observers around this Capital City who say they believe Mr. Fountain’s announcement is in tended as a blow at the potenteial candidacy of Governor Ehringhaus, who beat him by a nose three years ago, more than as a thrust at Sena tor Bailey. The Governor doesn’t ap pear worried. DONT LIKE IT—Some members of the joint legislative finance com mittees can’t take the idea of Repre sentative McDonald of Forsyth, 1 introduce a substitute to the sales tax on the floor of the House of Repre sentatives. Representative R. Greeg Cherry, of Gaston, and Thomas O’Berry, of Wayne, made certain re marks indicating that they thought Dr. McDonald was "holding out” on them by not giving the committee the benefit of his views. The Forsyth Representative is a member of the House finance committee. SPEED LOST—Not a few legisla tors express the opinion that rapid passage over sections of the revenue „ and appropriations bills is not going to save much time in the long run. They figure that opponents of the proposals of spending and taxing will bold their fire until the bills get on the floors of House and Senate and then loose their bombardments. It may or may. not be significant that 1 anti-administrationists are holding I their peace in committee meetings. PATROLMAN —It’s entirely possi ble that you may soon catch sight of a State Highway patrolman in your county. Bills have been introduced in the General Assembly to transfer the patrol back from the revenue depart ment to the highway department and to increase the number of patrolmen. Also, patrolmen would be relieved of k duties of collecting gas and oil sam ples for inspection and required to do nothing except watch automobile drivers and attemp to reduce slaugh ter on the public roads. HAND-OUTS—Various and sundry bills have been introduced in the Leg islature to use State highway gaso line and license taxes for purposes other than building roads. Some of the measures would have gas tax money reduce local government roads debts, while others would require the highway commission to pave streets in cities. One million dollars in high way money is already going into the I FOR SALE • • • 1 I Seeds, Peas, Beans !and Potatoes GROCERIES - Both Wholesale and Retail AT LOWEST PRICES 1 at 1 E.

If you have any definite ideas on the subject of how gasoline and license taxes should be spent the present might not be a bad time to make them known. i LIQUOR —Many legislative and po litical leaders believe that the Dey House bill to call a referendum on two wet and one bone-dry proposition shoud be “entitled an act to perpetu ate the Turlington law in North Car olina.” They figure . that the two propositions for legalixed liquor would split the wet vote and' that the drys would stick together on proposal to retain present absolute prohibition. Another bill now circling around leg islative halls would provide a refer endum on a system of State sale of liquor. What will happen is, of course, in the future but it is com paratively easy to strike out the sec tion calling for a referendum. The j drys realize that and are on their toes. PUBLIC HEALTH—Senator Grif fin, of Franklin, introduced a bill to require your child (if you have one) to be vaccinated against diptheria between the age of six and 12 months but it ran into some rocks in the health committee. It developed that diptheria anti-toxin sensitizes some ' patients against other vaccinations with “horse” serums. The committee couldn’t agree on whether it was bet- i ter to allow the child to be exposed to diptheria or take chances on bar- 1 ring it from vaccination against cer tain other contagious diseases. • i ISN’T QUITTING YET Senator W. G. (Cousin Willie) Clark, of Edge- , combe, wants it understood that he < is not going to quit the race for Lieutenant Governor because his can- / didate, Senator Carl L. Bailey, of I Washington County, was defeated-for \ President Pro Tempore of the 1935 Senate. Cousin Willie isn’t sure he will make the race in 1936 but he . avows that if he does he will give • Senator Paul Grady, of Johnston, former Senator George McNaill, of Fayetteville, Senator Harriss New man, of New Hanover, of other poten tial or actual candidates “a run for their money.” TOUGH BREAK—Parole Commis sioner Edwin M. Gill spent much time preparing his brief for presen tations before the appropriations committees of the General Assembly. He made detailed studies of the best methods of parole investigation and supervision and then when the money spending committees met Commis sioner Gill was confined to his bed with an attack of the mumps. \As a result his brief had to stand alone for his cause. Mr. Gill the axiom that the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray. NOT BEHIND —Lieutenant Gover nor A. H. Graham isn’t letting any grass grow under his feet in the race for the gubernatorial nomination on the Democratic ticket next year, in the opinion of many political wise acres around Raleigh. They opine that his committee appointments in the Senate and his conduct in presiding over that body are not hurting his chances of nomination even if Clyde R. Hoey, of Shelby, and Congressman R. L. Doughton are getting the pub licity breaks right now. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAS, FEBRUARY 7, 1985. DR. NOBLE—Prior to convening of the General Assembly many news writers were predicting that the Leg islature would attempt to abolish the office of executive assistant revenue commissioner, held by Dr, M. C. S. Noble, Jr. Tlie Legislature has been in session almost a month and no one has peeped for publication about abolishing Dr. Noble, but talk ot making the revenue commissioner elective has cropped out.
