SCOTT-SPARGER
- OFF FOR GAPITOL
STOKES LAW-MAKERS LEAVE
FOR RALEIGH TO JOIN THE
GEItERAL ASSEMBLY—SES
SION WILL BE LIVELY WITH
LIQUOR THE LEADING
THEME, POSSIBLY—SESSION,
TO LAST WITH PAY TILL
MARCH 1, THEN AS LONG
THEREAFTERWARDS AS THE
SOLONS MAY DISAGREE.
I
Ralph Scott, representing
Stokes, and Gilmer Sparger, to
appear for this county and Surry, i
i
both, left for Raleigh Tuesday
to attend the regular sessions of
the General Assembly which con
venes this week.
The regular session lasts until.
March 1, or a few days later,
with pay. After that the law
makers are at liberty to stay as
-.luch longer as they are unable
to agree on legislation, but if so,
at their own expense.
This legislature has to consider
quite a number of measures of
State-wide interest, but it is gen
erally conceded that the liquo'"
question is going to consume a
large portion of the attention
of the Solons. A big fight Ijp
tween the wets and the drys is
almost • to taks -place.
It will be recalled that 18 coun
ties in the eastern section of the
State passed laws for county
liquor stores at the 1935 session
of the general assembly, and that
these despensaries have proved
very profitable to the counties
that have them. A great change
has taken place in liquor senti
ment during the last few years.
Now many drys believe that no
more liquor —and in some counties
less—is consumed where the
State has control over the sales.
Consequently, many of the
"dry" counties have reached the
conclusion that to let the law
handle the fluid, if it is to be used
anyway, is better than to let the
bootleggers with their widespread
lawlessness, continue in control.
The practical difference in the
minds of many people is the
heavy tax received when the
State regulates the sale.
The big fight coming is whether
to let the whole State vote on
the question, or whether to let
each county settle the matter in
its own way.
The 18 counties that have
stores now, are opposed to a
State referendum, fearing the
result, if carried wet, would man
the loss to them of their separate
revenues, which would go to the
State. Or, if carried dry, their
special liquor sale privileges
Would be swept aside in a general
"dry" State.
As a rule, the line-up
will be, dry for a State
wide referendum; wets, for sep
arate county legislation.
It Is generally understood that
Gov. Hoey will recommend a
State-wide referendum, though ;
tikis to hjr m mmm csrtata.
