Reply To "Tax-Payer."
King, June 15.
Mr. Editor:
I notice in the last issue of the
Reporter one signing "Taxpayer"
makes a serious charge against
our last representative in the
legislature. Mr. C. M. Hauser.
I I will ask that Mr. "Taxpayer"
' lot the readers of the Reporter
know who he is that shoots from
the dark and who is too cowardly
to let the people of Stokes county
know over his own name how C.
M. Hauser misrepresented them.

Special Session Is Called By the Lights and Water A Certainty
Governor To Act Upon llec-:
commendations of the Ship f
Commission.
Raleigh, June 16.—The Council
of State at 12:3o this afternoon
unanimously voted to sustain
Governor Morrison on calling a
special session of the legislature
to act upon the recommendations
of the ship and water transporta
tion committee
The governor announced toihe
Associated Press that the general
assembly would be called to meet
lon August 7. The technical call
will be issued later, Governor
j Morrison said.
| Raleigh. Jur.e 15.—Governor
] Morrison's call for a special ses
sion of the general assembly will
Ilix the opening date bet.veen
•July 2'- and August 1. The
council of sra?e. v. rich Mon day
will receive iver.ior's formal
rupics'. for auir. *r:' to issue the
•cali, is ready to «*.•. i .-approval
1 The port development measure
!is expected to have easy sailing
when attached to th; provision
that ratification wiil depend upon
a majority vote in the general
election. That, bting the purpose i
for which the session will be
called, will constitute the most
important business, However,
[if the meeting runs true to form
i volumes of local and state meas-1
jures will be enacted during the
-0 days the members can stay!
here and receive pay.
MORRISON'S PLANS.
Following enactment of the
j p >rt development legislation.
Governor Morrison plans to put
I to work the best organization
; that can be created. The whole
iidea of developing the state's
ports and waterways will be |
presented to the people in every
county through speakers and the
newspapers. The campaign will
rival a political campaign in in
tensity, but it will not be political
; because the champions will in
clude both democrats and Re
' publicans. Supporters of the
j measure hope to line up some of
I the biggest republicans in the
state as well as men of outstand
! ing prominence in democratic
affairs. Then there will be
.chambers of commerce, traffic
and trade organizations and com
: mercial bodies to work from a
non-partisan standpoint, interest
ed only in state develbpment.
j ATTACK REFERENDUM.
Several members of the general
assembly have urged the gover
, nor to leave off the provision for
a referendum, expressing confid
ence that the legislature will pass
the measure and accept full re
l
I sponsibility for it. They have
. expressed uncertainty as to the
outcome in the general election,
but the governor believes the
proposition will be less effective
before people than in the general
assembly.
