MPORTANT UEASURLS
IN LEGISLATURE
LMetber'i Aid
Bill Salaries
citers
for Soli-
The Legislature this veek is hand-
ling some important measures, the
disposal of which calls for rare judg-
ment and cool deliberation. One of
these is the bill which will be taken 1
up by the committee on Thursday of a
this week relating to the garnishment j
for debt, whereby the wages and sal
aries (as you please) of working peo
ple and earners of all classes will be
subjec tto garnishment for debt to
the extent prescribed. To put a meas
are of this land on the law books will
of course first require the submission
and adoption of a constitutional
amendment . Mr. Turlington, of Ire
dell, who introduced .the measure,
made the emphatic statement on the
floor of the House that he was pre
senting it solely because the secretary
of the State Merchants' Association,
a Mr. Paul Leonard, had been pester
ing him to do so for several years.
That he was utterly opposed to any
such legislation himself, that he'would
ask the Legislature to defeat it, and
would advise every other legislator
to vote against the proposition. So
it really does not appear that the Leg
islature will vote to submit such an
amendment to the people.
Only residents of the state whose
incomes are less than $10 per week
escape the rigors of the ; Merchants
Aossociation's proposal. Heads of
families with dependents and wives
with homesteads in their own right
are included in the measure and made
liable for garnishment and such other
penalties as the General Assembly
may enact after the .amendment has
been ratified by the people.
Motoero AM Measure
Another importance pieeo of prc
pospoeed legislation this week is the
Mothers' Aid measure, which is spon-
sots4 by tho fraternal organisations
of the state and the state welfare de-
portawat of tho state government.

It hov amears nrobablo that one
amendment to tho Constitution of the
State will bo submitted by the Legis
lature, tho committee having reported
favorbly on tho proposition to amend
go as to provide for a board of par
dons, not eliminating the governor en
tirely, however, and intended to ma
terially differ from- the measure of
similar character which was defeated
two years ago. Another reason for its
probable, passage is the fact that,
whereas, the present governor opposed
the proposition in the last Legisla
ture, he is now disposed to favor such
a legal relief to the chief magistrates
of the state Few governors have suf
fered a greater strain that Governor
Morrison on this seore.
Wo are not hearing mych about the
last-session- plan te submit a call for
a new constitutional convention in this
state. It was not Insisted on at the
eleventh hour last time because Sen
ator Stubbs, who had charge of the
matter, frankly admitted that it was.
facing overwhelming defeat in the
Senate and therefore he refrained
from taking the "bill" from its com
fertable resting place, only to
face
the executioner.
Solicitors on Salaries and Other-Bills ;
Among the other important meas
ures being acted on in committees and i
before the full sessions of the Legis-
lature this week are the following: j
