OUB BALEIOH LETTER
By M. L. SklpMW

Raleigh, March 14.?State official
dom "heaved" a sigh of relief when
the gavels fell finally and simulta
neously In the Senate and House ol
Representatives of the Oeneral As
sembly of 1937 shortly after the hour
ol twelve ^o'clock on last Tuesday
night. State department heads
i-ot
whlls the Legislature la 1b aotlOB
and the recent session proved no en
ception from The Tiller Not * Ktngtv
official questions the good intentions
of members of the Oeneral Assembly
but the despatch with which many
measures are enacted during the clos
ing days creates concern in official
circles which borders on desperation
In the ranks of officials wlth^efflclent
organisations and plans for future
deveolpment A "harmless little bill"
is often the most dangerous and it
U little aomlei that a feeling ef us
easiness creeps over the heads of de
partments with the approach of the
closing days of a legislative session
However the General Asembly which
completed lu work in the early hours
of March 9th, 1927, has to its credit
constructive rather than destructive
measures with all major State depart,
mens reasonably well satisfied with
the results of Its labors.
A week prior to adjoifrnment found
the calendar* of hnth branches crowd
ed with Important proposals seeking
solution. Only a small number of
State-wide measures had found their
way to the statute books. The Reve.
nue Bill had barely started on its way
through the House; the appropriation
measure was still in committee; the
educational controversy threatened ?;
hopeless split between the 8enate and
House and the question of outlining
addition superior court diafricta had
not been settled, although Hie Senate
had previously approved the sugges
tion of seven new districts and the
House four. Week end pilgrimages
were abandoned and three weeks
work were crowded Into one by hold
ing sessions morning, afternoon and
night During the closing days the
spirit of compromise predominated
and all differences over major issues
were amicably adjusted. Conference
committees were called into service
the game of give and take ended con.
troverstes debated without solution
in open session.
?11 told the General Assembly of
1927 passed 1173 new~ lawn and 7#
resolutions, a total of 1243.' while
scores of bills found their way to the
table during the last couple of days.
The court controversy was comprom.,
ised without the1 creation of new dis
tricts. The Senate substituted ffir
the House hill providing for four ad
ditional districts a measure authoris
ing the Governor to appoint four all
time emergency Judges, two from th?
east and a like number from Ui? wee
and the latter body acquiesced rath
W iwnr wajotinr without "making
provision ta relieve crowded court
dockets. The appropriation bill foi
permanent improvements went thra
practically aa It was written by the
committee. The House eliminated the
item of $90,000 tor a radio station and
the Senate added $25,000 fof hospitals
for the insane. As Anally enacted
the bill carries an apnroprlatlon of
$5,247,000. The Item for maintenance
ci charitable, educational and penai
Institutions is around $15,100,000. The
sum of 4750000 was added to the
equalisation fund of 1A25 lor the pub.,
lie schools making that fund tor the
ensuing blennium $3,250,000.
Pew measures sponsored by Gov.

amendment to the Revenue/Act re
latlng to tax on charitable, religious
Institutions, etc. The list of bills ratl
fled shows that practically everything
the Governor asked for was duly en
rolled and ratified. A leader worthy
of the name. Needless to suggest
ihat Mr. McLean is patting himself on
the back. He is not boasting, but na
turally feels that the Legislature gave
unstiutea approval of the record of
his administration the past two years.
The Governor appears to possess the
happy faculty ot adjusting differences
without a quarrel, or the exhibition
of an ungovernable temper, a char
acterlatlc which stands to hla cred.
