THE LEGISLATIVE MILL The State Legislature is drawing attention, for which there are num bers of reasons. Gov. Gardner in his message to the Legislature made some far reaching recommendations which he appears to believe in whole heartedly; so much so, that he has shed his coat and eVitered the are na in behalf of them. The governor is desirous of ef fecting legislation that he believes will afford relief to the over-bur dened taxpayers. In this he is but following up the pledge made by the Democrats in pre-election times last fall and the demands made by taxpayers. The lowering of tax on farm land wis most urged, in that thousands of farmers were unable to meet their taxes and their lands and homes were being proceeded against to enforce payment. The governor wants to re-organ ize the state highway commission and, instead of the district mem bers of that bod; as now consti tuted, to have one central commis sion who will have charge of build ing and caring, for all roads in the state. In connection with this plan it is proposed that the state take over the county convict camps and assume the keeping in repair all county roads. inai iooks hke a mignty Dig joo for a five or seven or more central body that will sit only in Raleigh. It will have to have a whole lot of under employees to look after the roads In the hundred counties in the state. It would seem that, in the event it is decided to take over the coun ty roads, the district plan would be more efficient. With the mem bers of the commission scattered over the state, and each "pulling" for his district, would come near 'er eliminating favoritism than the plan proposed. It does seem, however, that a do ing away with the county road or ganlzatiosn, would effect a very great economy?and It's economy with efficiency that is being aimed ?at. The central purchasing agency for the supplies for all the state supported Institutions looks better than the proposed road re-organ ization. In it there Is a big econ ?omy prospect. And. again, there Is the state supported six-months school. That Is to be provided for. The children are the wards of the tsate, and they "will be the state in reality in the ?coming years. They must be pre pared to function or the common "wealth will fall to pieces and come 'to naught. It would be impossible in a brief 'article to discuss the pros and cons ?of the governor's recommenda tions. That he is absolutely sincere in Ills desire to have our state forge forward Is not questioned. If all his recommendations were reduced to workable shape and form it might be the best thing the Oovernor and the Legislature could ?lo. or that any governor and legis lature ever did or could do. Gov. Gardner has an ideal. To ef fect something, one must have an Ideal. But there is not only a pos sibility, but a probability, that the lodgement of too much power in one individual or a small group of Individuals will come to grief. And a final word now is: That most county road working organi sations are inefficient, wasteful and poorly managed, and are used as political footballs at the expense of the taxpayers. And the same is true of almost all departments of gov ernment. However, if one expects to see all this changed, he must be looking for the millennium right XT ralek.h letter By CARL OOERCH The legislature is composed of a lot of mighty fine fellows. They're chaps who are kind-hearted, sym pathetic, generous and considerate. They are anxious to please the peo ple of the State and want to do the I right thing. Somebody makes the suggestion that the power interests ought to be taxed. What happens? ; A regular army of lobbyists de scends upon Raleigh and proves conclusively that the power com panies are just about on the verge of starvation. The legislators listen to the presentation of facts, wipe the tears out of their eyes and de cide hat in view of circumstances probably it would be best not to im pose any additional tax on the power people. Somebody else makes the sugges tion that we ought to have a sales tax. Thirty-eight thousand mer chants immediately have a stroke of apoplexy, seventeen thousand die of .shortness of breath and sev eral thousand others develop se- r rious cases of the rabies. Then comes the proposal to tax moving pictures, and every theatre I operator goes to Raleigh and dis plays figures which prove that not a penny has been made in the the- ! atre business since 1786. When bills are suggested for tax ing barbers, bottlers, fish-dealers, chiropodists and bootleggers, repre sentatives of these professions im mediately run to Raleigh and suc ceed in blocking any such move. Then somebody introduces a bill to- put another tax on the farmer. It is given publicity through the newspapers. Members of the legis lature hold their breaths. They gaze at visitors in the hotels but fail to discern a single farmer among them. They spot all kinds of lobby ists, but nary a farmer-lobbyist. A huge sigh of relief is released. "Maybe It's best to put on that kind of a tax after all," says Mr. Legis lator. And the bill Is passed with very little opposition. Along with learning how to live at home, the farmer ought to learn how to do a little lobbying. The Lieutenant-Governor o f South Carolina visited the legisla ture in Raleigh last week and made a talk to the senators and repre sentatives. He advised the legisla tors to visit other states and get new ideas. Judging from some of the bills that have been introduced in Raleigh thus far, they've already got too many ideas up there. If they get any more, the chances are that the whole State will go broke. One hundred and fify represen tatives of county government and county road boards met in Raleigh last week to declare open war on Governor Gardner's highway pro gram. If the Governor were to make a speech saying that he hoped for fair weather on the Fourth of July, there'd be a delega tion in Raleigh before the week was out to declare open war on any such a proposition. A good many of the counties want to see the extra tax placed on gasoline, but they want to handle the expenditure of funds. Whenever it comes to pay ing out money, they're willing for the State to do it, but when it comes to spending it, they want to do it themselves. Besides, if the State were to control maintenance of county roads, members of the boards of commissioners, road boards and other county officials wouldn't be absolutely guaranteed that the highways in front of their respective places of abode would be given attention first. It looks as though the proposal to cut salaries of public workers 10 per cent is going to meet with con siderable opposition. The same is true of some of the other recom mendations that the Governor made in his message. Max may be a good Governor, but he's a sorry diplomat. He ought to know our folks well enough by this time to realize that there is a right and wrong way to handle them. What he ought to have done?at the time he delivered his message? was to advocate an Increase of 25 per cent in salaries of public work I ers, turning over all of the roads to | the counties, adding a 10 per cent raise to all property taxes and let ting the State prison operate as it , has been operated in the past. The t legislators would have listened to ? the message and then would have 'swung into action. The average man, in order to show that he Is intelligent, thinks that It is abso lutely essential for him to disagree with other folks. The legislature Is composed of average men. They would immediately have decided that the Governor was full of prunes and horse-radish. Instead of increasing salaries 25 per cent, they would have cut them; instead of permitting the counties to main tain the roads, they would have in sisted on the State taking them jover; instead of raising property taxes, they would have lowered them, and instead of ignoring the j prison situation, they would have tried to solve it. Everything would have been pretty and everybody would have been satisfied. A legis lature is never satisfied unless it thinks it has put something over on a Governor. The situation is similar to that which prevails be- I tween the average husband and wife. If the husband expresses a , certain opinion, the wife feels that she is in duty bound to disagree with him- As soon as the husband' ascertains this little fact, he is able! to handle the situation diplomat ically. Seems to me that Max has been married long enough to have found this out for himself and that he ought to be able to apply the same theory in handling the Legislature. The Red Cross is doling out 8.37 j cents a day per capita to feed Ar- | kansas drought sufferers?the best, no doubt, that it can do, while the Republican House has defeated the food bill. But the government al- 1 lows almost four times as much, or 29 cents a day, to feed the prisoners 1 ? in the Federal penitentiaries. This contrast between the care of tnose who work a d support the govern ment and those who loot it and rob the producers is a blushing! shame.
