LEGISLATURE Weekly Happenings In North Carolina General Assembly By M. L. SHIPMAN Raleigh, Feb. 11.? In mid stream, the present session erf the Legislature has reached the point that it is beginning to march up the hill and then march down again. At such a stage, it is im possible to predict with certainty what will happen to major legis lation. Members are subjected to high pressure in Raleigh, and when they go home for the week ends there is other pressure ap plied. If a member strays off the reservation I during his- week's stay in Raleigh, those interested in getting him back put the pres sure on him at home, if they can. -k is a part of the great game of politics. It is a condition that con tributes to lengthy session?, and this year is no exception to the rule. ? I t It is widely heralded that the Joint finance c&mmittees are now in retreat from the Administra tion's sales tax measure. It is true that the committiee has voted to remove the ten-dollar exemption, fit the instances of Revenue Com missioner A. J. Maxwell, and will likely stick by this, but it is too early to say that the rate of three per cent will be reduced. It is possible, too, that a gross sales tax will be levided, but it is by no means certain. It appears prob able that the appropriation for schools will be increased to (20, 000,000 a year,) and this means that more revenije must be found. There will bo a busy search for sourcesr but it is too early to say where it will be found. t t t The greater University is ask ing for an increase of (300,000 from the million dollars allotted by the budget bureau. President ^ Frank Graham made a strong ap peal in behalf of the three instl . ~ tutions composing the greater Untveretty. He had a sympathetic audience. Always the question arises: Where is the money com ing from? Many of the friends of education say tbayit must be done ? now as it was done in the past, there must be the determination to get the money, and if there is the determination the money will be found. t t t Senator John Sprunt Hill has dropped his State liquor control bill Into the legislative hopper. Representative N'ere Day already had his bill In the hopper. It Is probable that hearings will be called at an early date. There promises to be plenty of fireworks. The Dry are directing a general broadside at all such bills on the ground that the people of the State voted overwhelmingly against such proposals in the last referendum election. But support ers of such measures point out that this was on the question of the repeal the eighteenth amend ment, and had nothing to do with State liquor control. In theory they are rlgbt, but the issues made in that election was between the Wets and the Drys. So it happens that there is plenty of argument on both sides, but so far it has been In good spirit. Nobody ques tions the honesty or the integrity of the'sponsors of the liquor mea sures. They only question, their wisdom. t t t 8tate Superintendent of Public Instruction Clyde Erwln has had his baptism of fire before the Ap propriations committee. There was an immense crowd, so many that they had to adjourn to the Hugh Morson high school auditorum. People came from all sections of the State. The State school head asked 'for (22,000,000 a year for schools. He was gunning for $20,000,000 no doubt, and present Indications are that the Legisla ture is In a mood to do some thing to encourage development of the schools. There is a general realization that something must be done. The only question is how much. ? * + After starting out with deter mination to do something .to In sure better driving of automobiles on the State highways, the Senate bogged down on the State licens ing bill, and It went over for an other week. It is a difficult Job, and the legislators want to hear from the people at home. They want to be sure that' they have public support. In the meantime the House beat Representative Williams' bill to make imprison ment mandatory for drunken driv ers. That was too far-reaching in Its Implications to suit the House. t t t The Legislature has outlawed walkathons. This law mainly in terested the people of Raleigh. A tent had been set up outside of the city with couples entertaining the crowds who came from morbid curiosity to see the" walkers. proved to be a center of great In terest. many of the legislators go ing out. What they saw made them of a mind to stop it. t t t The State Highway Commission got into action the past week with the request by the new chairman, Capus waynlck, that tho Legisla ture make three million dollars immediately available for con struction work in the Spring. The usual appropriations are made for th* fiscal year, which does not be untll next July. The State ay system is the State'* big gest money-spender, its budget calling for 126,660,660 for . next year and 126,700,000 following year. It is in an advantageous po sition as it draws its revenue from gasoline sales taxes, and there. is nothing In North Carolina more' popular tliaji driving automobiles. People will go hungry to have an opportunity to ride. Other State departments look with envious eyes on the State Highway de partment. But It has no Intention of parting with any more funds than it can help. It coats much money to maintain the roads of the State. tit Representative E. B. Cloud is a legislator without a party. He quit the Democratic party in Polk when he says the Democratic nom ination was stolen from him. He ran on the Republican ticket, and was elected, but he says that he Is a Democrat still. The Republi cans do not claim him, or want him. The Democrats look askance at him. They even tried to kill a local bill for him in the House. But Tarn Bowie, who champions the right of a local representative to legislate for his constituency, said that he considered Cloud a Democrat still and championed his measure. Cloud looked lonely as the House sidetracked his local government bill to a committee. t t t This is the week that the fl nance or revenue bill is due to come from the committee to the House. It Is Improbable that such will happen, but even if it does it will be the latter part of the week, and most of the members will al ready be looking towards home. That means it will not be consid ered before next week. In the old days, the Legislature got through the first week in March. But it Is approaching March, and It has not yet really gotten down to serious business? Most of its work has been in killing bills. STANDS HKiH Wake Forest, F eb. . ? J. W . Wilson and H.- L.

Big Ford Deliveries Dearborn, Mich., Feb. 11. ?
