It. Ik NMM te «aa aleai M matters at leaeral la tercet aad atajet uapertaaee. The tempo picked up this week. Shortness of temper and longness cf breath were observable in both houses. New appropriations bills, breaching the Governor’s budget line, were introduced; additional tax measures were proposed; the revised Constitution drafted by the Constitutional Commission was introduced; and the Govern or delivered a special message on the Constitution, with particular attention to the Judicial Article. Constitution The Constitutional revision bill brought a full load of grist to the legislative mill Monday night' Major changes proposed would i (1) provide for redistricting of thej Senate by the President and] President pro tem of the Senate! and the Speaker of the House, j subject to amendment by the ( General Assembly; and would authorize the Speaker to reap-I portion the House according to I Die Constitutional formula: (2) establish machinery to enable the General Assembly to find that the Governor and other major elective execution officers are in capacitated, and that they have regained the capacity to perform their duties: (3) require that tax classifications and exemptions be uniform throughout the state: and (4) abandon the requirement that the State maintain a general and uniform system of free pub lic schools. Major interest was centered on the Commission’s proposals as to the Judicial Article. The Com mission would leave the Supreme and Superifir Courts much as they now are, and would replace in ferior courts with district courts whose judges would be selected as provided by taw. The Gen eral Assembly could, upon rec ommendation of the Supreme Court, establish an intermediate Court of Appeals. Waiver of jury trial would be permitted in crime nal cases other than those in volving the most serious offenses Comparison with the Cour* Study Committee’s proposals wa« immediate. Many proposals are identical. The fundamental dis ference between the two is that the Constitutional Commission’- “General Court of Justice” is not a single court, but is a name for a system of separate courts whereas the Court Committee's “General Court of Justice” is r single court. From this differ ence in basic concept, most of the differences in detail naturall'- flow. Under the Commission’s concept of a uniform system of}' courts, it is the General Assem-r blv which must make determina- ‘ tions as to jurisdiction of the * courts, and to relationships * among. Under the Court Com- 6 mittee’s concept of a single (the * technical term is “unified”) court * there is simply a question of ( which part of the single court car 1 best handle particular matters * and this determination,. as well * as administrative and procedural 1 details governing movement of * cases from one part of the court * to another are problems of iu - dicial administration to be han- s died by the administrative ma t chinery of the court. Governor « Hodges, in his address to the i General Assembly, praised both 1 the Commission and the Commit- t tee. He refrained from making e an express choice between the d differing philosophies of the two C but did express his that y ' UU BUY TIMBER and— I logs I TOP MAKErr PRICES PArt) I - I Smith Bros.

Mote* Vehicle. Intoxicated drivers may soon have to contend with the laws of science as well as of society. SB 20 would make chemical test evi dence of blood alcohol admissible in prosecutions for driving under the influence. The Department of Motor Vehicles could suspend for a year the license of a driver who refused to submit to an anal ysis of blood, urine, breath or sa liva. A driver who lives to run away from one officer may live to be arrested promptly bv an other under the provisions of SB 119; where the first officer noti fies the second that the driver has committed an offense against the motor vehicle laws in the presence of the first officer, thr second officer may arrest the driver without a warrant. SB 121 would set the maximum pun ishment for speeding at a SSOO fine, six months’ imprisonment, or both. He who fails to blow his own horn while passing an other may violate the motor ve hicle laws, but under HB 223 his failure would not constitute neg ’ i sense per se in a civil action. North Carolina’s driver licens ing program, acclaimed the best in the nation last year, came in for consideration this week. HB 236 would require the issuance of a renewal license without ex animation (other than vision) to any driver without an accident during the previous 10 years of licensed driving. SB 123 would clarify present statutes by ex pressly authorizing the Depart ment of Motor Vehicles to reli cense after three years a driver whose license has been perma nently revoked for driving after •evocation; present provisions concerning relicensing after per manent revocation for drunken driving remain unchanged. Local Government Spurred on, perhaps, by the specter of State and local govern mental units being compelled K switch to Volkswagen, etc., Rej inepp introduced HB 224 to per mit units to pay up to $2,500 (now $2,000) per motor vehicle without the approval of the Gov ernor and the Council of State. Possible relief for hard-pressed boards of education is contained h HB 263 to make it easier t< obtain loans from the State Lit erary Fund. HB 268 would in sure preservation of county rec ords of permanent value by re- Huiriny that Department of Ar chives and History micro-film such records. An additional county official is provided by HB 269 which authorizes county commissioners to appoint a coun ty fire marshal to coordinate all fire-fighting and fire prevention ictivities in the county. Long range planning and projects will j tie possible under HB 270 which sennits counties to enter into continuing contracts provided iufficient funds are appropriated to meet the amounts payable un ler such contracts in the year in which the contracts are made. IB 271 would give *o county •ommissioners the authority to stablish office hours and work lays for various county offices bounty and municipal chiefs as well as Indians could receive THE CHOWAN HERALD.

Finances The week began with an ex change of fire prompted by Rep. Umstead’s bills (HB 200 and 201) for greater mental health outlays. It ended with a round of .heavy artillery in the unveiling of Sen ator Jordan’s pay boost bill (SB 141), to be financed by new liq uor and soft drink levies. Sand wiched in between were bills to j permit breadwinner wives to claim the $2,000 family income tax exemption (HB 278); to re peal the wholesale sales tax and limit retail sales tax exemptions (HB 252); and to provide funds for additional special education teachers (SB 124) and to renovate uvenile training facilities at the i McCain Sanitorium (SB 106). Miscellaneous The State Property Fire Insur ance Fund would be called on to protect State property from leak age from without and State mon ey from leakage from within un der SB 138 and HB 282; the for mer would provide sprinkler leakage insurance, and the lat er would establish a fidelity and surety section, all under the Fire Insurance Fund, which is a State 10-it-yourself project.

The Crop Improvement Asso ciation has just completed stor age inspections of certified seed potatoes for sale. McLaughlin reports about 36,- 000 bushels of Porta Rico and 16,- 000 bushels of Copper Skin Gold Rush are available. Local agricultural agents or the Crop Improvement Association will furnish farmers with the names of certified seed producers upon request. “All these potatoes have been found to conform with the high standards set for certified seed potatoes,” McLaughlin said. . “Farmers should make sure a blue tag is attached to each bas j ket.” Some farmers make a practice of selling their best potatoes and 'saving the strings (less than lM* inches in diameter') for bedding.
