Weekly Legislative Summary
(Editor's note; This it one
of a series of weekly sum
maries prepared by the legis
lative staff of the Institute of
Government on the work of
the North Carolina General
Assembly of 1961. It If con
fined to discussions of mat
ters of general interest and
major importance.)

The Senate Is developing
Into the argumentative body
this session. Debate at length
has been the rule , and narrow
voting margins are common.
There Is some evidence of
a split between lawyers and
laymen, as the laymen weary
of lengthy debate on what they
regard as legal technicalities.
On one occasion last week
Senator Humphrey was moved
to assure the laymen that
"there Is nothing legal" about
one of his bills, and Senator
Moore, after hearing about
"tort feasors" for an hour,
moved to extend the court
esies of the Senate to Mr.
Feasor.
LEGISLATIVE
REPRESENTATION
Senate redlstricting was the
first major Issue to reach the
floor of either house this ses -
sion. The North Carolina Con
stitution requires that the Se
nate districts be so altered
after each decennial census
that "each Senate district
shall contain, as near as may
be, an equal number of Inha
bitants ..." Battle on the
question was Joined when SB
66, the Currie bill to redis
trict, reached the Senate floor
on Wednesday. Debate raged
for almost three hours, and
when the smoke had cleared,
the Currie bill had in effect
been replaced by an amend
ment submitted by Senator
Banzet of Warren .The Bai
zet amendment, which was
promoted by Sen. Warren of
Beaufort, leaves unchanged 30
of the existing 33 districts:
It takes three existing 2-sen
ator districts and divides each
Into two 1 -senator districts,
giving one senator to each of
Wake, Durham, and Cumber
land Counties, and one senator
to the remaining counties in"
each of the present district*
which Include those counties.
Wake, Durham and Cumber
land are all now represented
by a senator resident In each
county. Under the amended
bill, the smallest district,
consisting of Alleghany, Ashe
and Watauga, contains 45.031
Inhabitants, the largest.
Mecklenburg, contains 272,111
persons. The new SB 66 passed
third reading in the Senate
Thursday. A new bill, SB 178,
governing senate redlstricting
was Introduced Friday by Sen.

would amend the Constitution
to require redistrlcdng In 1963
and after each federal cens<><
thereafter. Each senator

FINANCE
Latest tax bill is HB 383,
by Rep. Woodard of North
hampton, which would levy a
3% sales tax on retail sales
of electric power and piped
gas, whether sold by private
utilities, co-operatives, mu
nicipal systems, or others.
Sales to governmental agen
cies and hospitals, churches
and schools would be exempt.
At hearings before thejolnt
Finance Committees during
the week, spokesmen for new
and used car dealers, soft
drink bottlers, newspaper
publishers, the State Farm
Bureau, and State Grange were
heard. The Grange opposed
the food tax, except as a last
resort, and suggested a 4%
tax on the present base, and
1% Increase in the income
tax as major alternatives. The
Farm Bureau opposed the food
tax. Both organizations op
posed the proposed 1% tax
on feed, seed, fertilizer and
farm machinery. Automobile
dealer spokesman feared for
the existence of their busi
ness, and soft drink spokes
men appealed for fair play.
Newspaper publishers p rotes- '
ted their inability to pass the
tax on to the consumer.
? LOCAL GOVERNMENT
SL 175 would allow infor
mation as to county tax rates
to be furnished to the tax
payer on a separate sheet,
rather than requiring the in
formation to be on the tax
receipts and stubs. SB 28,
