2 HARDTOGET MONEY BUT MIGHTY EAST fO SPEND II Appropriation Coulter May be Set too Deep. HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE T' HB HOUSE has started off AT TOO LIVELY A PAGE. BIG INCREASE FOR T H£ DEAF AND DUM- They Need All They Have Rrceived, but They Can do on Less. Other Insii’u icns Need it Just as Bad y. Impor tart Bills Introduced. the House has started at a pace that li will hardly be aide to keep up. I refer to the matter of appr< priatioas. I tie members of this Legislature came here pledged to Retrenchment and Re form. On the campaign they spe ’ol these words with hig R’s, as I now spell them cm paper. They came here expecting to keep the pledge. They will keep it, if their hearts do not get away with their heads. Sympathy is good enough in its place, hut it’s place is not to supplant good, hard, horse-sense. So much byway of introductory. The balance* of the chapter was writt,»- the House yesterday and Thursd Thursday saw an increase from j bOO to $40,000 in the annual appro Ji tion for the Morgan ton school for Jnv Deaf and Dumb. Yesterday saw even a greare - increase —much greater—in the appropriation for tin* Deaf. Dumb and Blind Institution in this city. | Next week and the w?ek after, will Ohd the other institutions —insane asy lums, Soldier’s Home, State colleges. Normal schools, public schools —all knocking at the doors of the General, Assembly, asking increased appropria tions. I Already $10,00(1 has been voted for a new school. Already a hill has been introduced in both branches of the Leg islature appropriating SIOO,OOO for pub lic schools. Already the Senate is con sidering a bill carrying something like P-i*- <. million for the insane asylums. Already the Legislature is pledged to i -cd appropriation for the Sol dier’s Home. But all appropriations cannot be in creased unless taxes are increased. T hat’s as plain as the nose on Cyrano de Bergerac’s face. The sinews of gov ernment must come out of somebody’s pocket. That’s equally plain. And if you increase taxes what be comes of Retrenchment and Reform? FOR THE DEAF AND THE BLIND. Some Improvement Contemplated in the Institution. During consideration of the f'alendai yesterday Mr. McLean, of Harnett, called up the hill making an cppr f pria ■ lion for the Institution for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind, in this city. The hill carries an appropriation of $33.C00 for building, and $40,000 a year for maintenance, provided the number of pupils does not exceed 200. If it does, then the appreciation is to he S2OO for each additional pupil. As there are now .138 pupils ip. the school this would make the annual appropria tion, carried by this hill over SBO,OOO. In calling up the hill. Mr. McLean spoke at length of the institution and of the excellent work it has done and is doing, lie said he thought It ought to have every cent of this appropriation and more, too. if the State were* able to give it. Mr. Thompson, of Onslow, shied at the amount asked for, and want.* I to know if each county didn’t pay some thing for each pupil sent to this school. Mr. Mcl.can said they pail S2O for each pupil, but that this went for clothing. Mr. Currie, of Moore: “What has been the cost of keeping these children heretofore in this school?” Mr. McLean: “The cost has been about S2OO per capita " Mr. Currie: “Why does it cost so much more than to teach the deaf, dunu and blind here than at Morgant in’” Mr. McLean: “At Morsre.nlon they have a large farm on which the pupils of the school work and raise all the vegetables, milk and meat needed.’' Mr. McLean went on to expl-tm that part of the appropriation asked for would be devoted to buying 20 acres of land near the colored institution, #> the colored deaf and dumb children can work it. This land can now la* purchased for S4O an acre. “Then there is a building to be erect ed for white girls similar to the one just completed for the boys. Also another story should be put on the old building. As it stands now it is badly in need of repair. These improvements will about double the accommodations of the insti tution. “The money appropriated by this bill will he in the hands of a competent hoard of directors —not a fusionisl on it. We have already selected these men, and the Legislature will in a few days be called on to vote for them. “The appropriation made by the Fu sion legislature was $40,000 for main tenance, Mild $35,000 for building. But this was not enough. 'I he money gave out four months ago. and the institution has been running oil a credit since.”. Mr. Robinson, of Cumberland, thought the appropriation none too much. It was, he said, just $25 a pupil less than had been asked for. The extra appro priation of $33,000, he also thought rea sonable: a new building was needed, and it was impossible to get along with the old building unless it should be repaired. Mr. Council, of Watauga, was in favor of the appropriation if the State could afford it: but he didn’t think it oould. Mr. Holman, of Iredell, had made a thorough investigation of the institution, and he believed every penny of the money asked was needed. Smith (col. Rep.), of Craven, thought it would be a good investment. It was lucky to give money to blind folks. He passed a blind mail one day. The blind man had a saw on his shoulders, and had been out tryiug to saw wood for a living. ••I called'him to me and gave him ten cents. Next day I made SSO by a trade. If we give this money to the blind ehil dron God can rain down blessings tha will be worth t«» ns SBO,OOO or $85,000 and $500,0(10 besides.” Mr. .Tames, of Bender, -told of the crowded condition of the institution, and said no more girls could be received tin til the accommodations at the school were increased. Mr. Just ice, of McDowell, said it wa not necessary for anybody to make an appeal to him. He realizes the needs of the institution. It was with him not a question of what he wanted to do, but what he. as a custodian of the people’s taxes, was aide to do. He wanted ac tion on the bill postponed. Mr. Holman: "1 don’t see how a man can vote SIO,OOO for a textile school and then vote against this bill.” Mr. Justice; "1 voted for that sehoo under ’duress. 1 promised sometime ag to do it. ami now I’m sorry 1 did,” Mr. Leatherwood thought the appro priation none too large. The bill passed on its third reading. THE ANTI-TRUST BILL. Basses its Second Reading With Very Little Opposition. At 12 o’clock the Stevens Anti-Trust Bill came up as a special order. Mr. Robinson, of Cumberland, ex plained that as the bin now stands it does not apply to what is known among jobbers as the Equality I’lan. Mr. Stevens didn’t can to discuss his bill. As amended it Had a favorable reißirt. unanimously, from the Judiciary committee. Mr. Williams, of Iredell, wanted to know how the bill would affect the sale of fertilizers. Mr. St: veils replied that it would uot affect it at all unless the company or man selling it was in a trust or an agent for a trust. The bill passed its second reading almost unanimously. On tin* third reading Mr. McNeil, of Brunswick, wanted to know if flu* bill R. L. STEVENS. OF UNION. His Anti-Trust Bill Passed its Second Reading Yestt rday. didn't (»ut ;t premium on dishonesty by providing that a trust couldn't, by law. collect a bill for goods sold on !t credit. Mr. St vens didn’t think it did, any more than the usury provision in the interests laws encourage dishonesty. Mr. McNeil announced himself as uncompromisingly opjtosed to this pro vision; also, he said. there are other provisions that might be discuss.".!. Mr. Davis, of Haywood—“lsn’t there a law providing that the man who practices as a physician without license, lie can't collect his fees by law?” Mr. McNeil asknowledged there was such a law and argued that it was a just one. Tit ' prospect of running the Fertili zer Trust out of the State, was not in viting to Mr. Rountree. He feared if might have the effect of putting up prices. Mr. Patterson, us Robeson, said he came here pledged to but one thing— this thing is the Democratic platform. “The Democratic party is pledg’d to this bill. This pledges me. The best feature otf this liill is section 5." iMr. Rountree want d to know if trusts didn't put down prices? Mr. Patterson—“ Yes sir, they do until they have crushed out competition. “Thesf* are my sentiments simply ex pressed. I hope the bill will puss, and pass with section 5 in it.” Air. Willard, of New Hanover, amend ed to strike out section 5. Mr. Robinson, of Cumberland, said when he first hoard the bill read lie thought it a little drastic, hurt as now amend d he thought it a good bill. “The very best section in this bill i< sw-tion 5. It will crippple no legitimate industry in the State. . The Democratic party is pledged to uu anti-trust bill. If we are going to have one let’s have one that’s worth something. “This bill is the copy of a law -i.nv in force hi several States.” ' Mr. Boushitll was not prepared to vote. The time since the bill had'be n introduced bad not been sufficient lor him to make up his mind. Mr. Stevens a creed to give him an other day. The bill went over until roon ■ to-day. On motion of Mr. Foushee the bill was . ordered printed and laid on the desks of members this morning. ' Tin: JIM CROW CAR BILL. I The House Waiting Patiently for Thar Committee Bill. Mr. Winston called up his Jim Crow Car Bill and tried to have it passed. I But ho only succeeded in .laving it referred to the Commit Lc on Railroads ' The reason for this action on the part ’ of the House was not opposition to a separate ear law, but it was because tin* committee had in hand the preparation of such a law for the House. 1 Air. Winston’s bill simply provides ' for separate cars and puts the execution ' <*f the law and arrangement of details in the hands of the Railroad Coinntis '* sion. L reuuires all railroads and i steainlsiats in the State to provide sepr.- i' rate accommodations, and requires the • Railroad Commission to adopt strch reg ulations as are necessary to carry out a the provisions of the bill, t “As I understand it,” said Mr. Win ston, “that’s what the Railroad Commis sion is so curry into effect such laws as this jhody may puss. Mr. Moore, of Jackson, poiured <ut that the bill had novel* b*on before a committee, and as the C’omtnitt.o in Railroads was preparing a bill n<> moved to r for this bill to tin* commit e**, Mr. Allen, of Wayne, explain. 1 that on account of pressure of other business the eommifftM* had not in >t for several days and no separate car bill had been reported. Bitch a meeting would. ho hoped be held this week, a bill having already been prepared by tin* sub-enn* mat toe. Mr. Winston hoped that the mailer would be disposed of without further reference. He knew tile delay Bad been da to pressure of business and he saw no chance of relieving this pressure. Mr. Gilliam thought there was a > rea son for the House* acting hastily. He preferred to wait for the commi*tee’s bill b fore voting on other bills. Mr. Justice favored a reference of the bill. lie didn’t have much faith in the Railroad commit-toe unless it were bet ter than it had been heretofore. He didn't want to trust the committee with much power until they showed There was some improvement in th: commis sion. Mr. Winston —“Don’t you think such lulls as this, putting more power in their hands, will tend to elevate tile character of the commission Y Mr. Justice —“Well. I don't know. From some things l see going on around hare I doubt it.’ ’ Mr. Batterson, of Caldwell, a mem ber of the Railroad committee, hoped ilie House would he patient with tile com mittee a While longer. Mr. Roitntrealso a member of the committee, hoped the bill would be re ferred. The committee would speedily report its bill to the House, and he b■*- lieved it would he promptly passed. He saw no reason for anyone—member of 'the House or newspajier. or anyone else —being uneasy on this point. Mr. Winston called for the ayes and goes on the motion lo refer his bill. The roll-call resulted: Avcs, lit); noes, 18. HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. The House met at 10 o’clock. • Brayer was offered by Rev. A. L. Betts, of the city. Reading of Thursday's Journal was dispensed with.
