LEGISLATIVE CHATTER
Mnily DUpntch Iturenn.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, Jan. 30—Those on the in
side and who often know just what
makes the legislative wheels go round
are whispering that thoughands of
federal patronage are disturbing law
makers who want to vote against rati
fication of the child labor amendment.
Those scions, undercover operates
report, know just what kind of ma
chine Jim Farley runs and the kind of
tabs he keeps on friends and foes of
the administration, whose full pow
ers are being exerted to put over the
amendment. Therefore, the story runs,
they will hesitate for a long time to
antagonize the Washington powers
that-be, for every politician—and most
legislators are —has an eye on a good
soft Federal post.
Those who thought the reapportion
ment debate produced fireworks just
“ain’t seen nothing yet.” Let them
tune in on the child labor amend
ment debate Monday. They’ll get two
earfuls (or is it earsful) of “dangerous
encroachment on the sovereign pow
ers of this great State,”’ “Defense of
our children,” “Stand by our great
President,” and ether resounding ora
torical phrases.
Echoes of the reapportionment fight
... “Pete” Murphy, telling the House
Mecklenburg and Guilford ought not
to want anything because “Mecklen
burg has the Hornet’s Nest Riflemen
and the Mecklenburg Declaration;
Guilford has the Guilford Courthouse
Battlefield and the Keeley Institute”
... New Hanover’s Tom Cooper con
sulting “all the male dealers I could
Pnd every one of them thought this
bill unconstitutional. No three law
yers could agree” ..., Rupert Pickens,
author of the measure declining to
yield for questioning ... Willie Lee
Lumpkin using the debate as a vehicle
for his anti-administration propagan
da ... Cherokee’s Harry Cooper, farth
est west, voting “No”.
Advance rumors of wholesale “trad
ing” were hardly borne out by the
reapportionment vote. It seems many
western representatives who were nat
urally expected to be for the bill
reached] the honest conclusion thle
measure was unconstitutional.
Nobody ever found out exactly why
the huge pile of whisky bottles and
fruit jars was brought into the hall
of the House for the liquor hearing
Thursday afternoon. They were con
spicuously placed under personal di
rection of a large lady who wore a
red hat and was said to be one of the
“drys.” But about the middle of the
hearing somebody ordered them tak
en out and quite a diversion came
when a page dropped several bottles
with a resounding crash.
One wag suggested the bottles had
been found Thursday morning in
rooms of the legislators.
“Then they didn’t get half of them”
retorted another. “There are only a

couple of hundred bottles in that pile.”
Those who thought a group had
been found who did not object to being
taxed by the State were brought back
from the land where dreams come
true to this mundane sphere recently.
At an early revenue committee hear
ing Commissioner of Revenue A. J.
Maxwell said the State Fair Associa
tion agreed there should be no exemp
tion from taxation for carnivals
showing in connection with agricul
tural fairs.
A day or two ago this was shown
to be a misconception as fair asso
ciation officials appeared and pro
tested vigorously against levying a
S2OO tax on carnivals showing any
where, whether at fairs or not.
