Raleigh, Feb. 17. —The Senate voted
“aye” to a number of amendments
offered by Senator Tom Gold to a
bill appropriating certain sums for
the care and education of the blind
in North Carolina, but it is highly
doubtful that many knew what it was
all about after the Guilford senator
had made quite a discourse on the
matter. H‘s talk about “optometrists
and ophthalmatologists” was obvious
ly out of bounds to most of his lis
teners.
When iu bill to permit electric con
tractors to be regulated by a commis
sion of which they are to appoint one
member, the governor a second and.
the Greater University of North Caro
lina a third came up for considera

remarked:
“We let everybody else organize, so
we might, as well let the electrical
contractors do it, too.”
It does seem that about every line
of business under the sun is now equip
ped with a commission and enough
rules and regulations to wrap every
body in the business up in red tape.
Folks in the galleries of both House
and Senate often shake their heads
in bewilderment when the clerk calls
about four names, and it is then an
nounced: “Forty senators (or one hun
dred and five members) having voted
in the affirmative and none in the
negative, the bill has passed.” It
comes from what is termed the “short
roll call” which is used when there is
no opposition to a bill upon which
there must be a roll call and the roll
has already been called in toto on
some other bill during the then cur
rent session.

thods of settling “past, present and fu

Motors plants formed the agenda to
day for negotiators representing the
corporation and the United Automo

Union leaders said they had draft

Motors at the ‘morning conference.
The conferees are to meet at 10 a.
m. and 2:30 p. m. daily until they
have completed action on the union’s
six demands which were not dealt
with in last week’s settlement of the
General Motors strike.
The topics to be discussed include
hours of work, wage scales, seniority
rights and other working conditions.

Black-Draught High
In Quality Without
Being High In Price
Black-Draught is "easy to pay for”
because it is so economically pack
aged and so reliable.
But as to quality, there’s nothing
“cheap” about it. For instance, its
principal active ingredient is the
leaves of a certain species of plant
that are brought IQ,OOQ miles from
where they grow to the factory
where the medicine is made. These
leaves from far, far away, help to
give Black-Draught its well-known
“laxative reliability.” They could not
be left out, or substituted, without
real loss of good medicinal quality.
For a good, purely vegetable laxa
tive, insist on Black-Draught. About
25 doses in each 25-cent package.

When they meet Wake Forest in

the fastest and most colorful in the
South, is pictured above. Left to
right, the players are: P. G. Hill,
forward; John Allen, guard; Connie
Mac Berry, center; Bill Mann, for
ward, and Captain Neil Dalrymple,
guard.
Clyde A. Erwin, Secretary Jule B.
Warren of the North Carolina Edu
cation Association, Miss Oma Laffer
ty, president of the association, and
members of the legislative committee
of the association, agreed to accept
the 10 per cent increase recommend
ed without any contest for any more,
Ward reported following the meet
ing. They agreed, Ward said, that the
State had already reached the limit
of its ability to increase school ap
propriations from indirect tax sources
and that they were really fortunate to
get an increase of as much as 10 per
cent from this General Assembly.
Want Something Else More.
The second reason the school lead
ers and North Carolina Association
decided not to fight for any higher
salaries, however, is because they are
more anxious to have certain chan
ges made in the machinery bill than
to get more money for the teachers,
those who know what is really going
on agree. In other words, they want
to get the present school machine act
changed so that the State superinten
dent of public instruction will be both
chairman and secretary of the State
-School Commission, and thus get con
trol of the allocation of the $24,500,000
a year of school funds. If this can be
done, the superintendents believe they
could force the School Commission,
by bringing pressure to bear on the
chairman, to be more and more lib
eral with them, in return for which,
they could then assure him of Ibeing
re-elected every four years. For if the
State superintendent should be chair
man of the School Commission, he
would be responsible to and remov
able by the people only in the election
every four years.
Want More Control.
Boiled down to the bone, the situa
tion is that the school politicians have
decided that it is better to stop fight
ing for more salaries for teachers and
fight instead for more control of the

school funds by the State and county
superintendents, most observers agree
Some pf these frankly admit that it
will be worth going without what they
want in the form of an appropriation
and salary increases for two years, if
by so doing they can get control of
the spending of the school money. If
they can get this control, they are con
fident they can build up an organiza
tion which can then get more and
more money in the future.
Sell Teachers Short.
So they have now deliberately de
cided to sell the teachers short on sal
aries in order to be in a better posi
tion with the General Assemlbly in the
hope of getting control of the money
spending and salary schedule-making
machinery, which now rests in the
State School Commission, some of
those who should know what is going
on, are charging. They are also charg
ing that if this comes about, that the
superintendents and principals, rath
er than the teachers, will get the
lion’s share when it comes to re-mak
ing the salary schedules. i
Senate Tending To
Split Into Blocs
(Continued from page One.)
end of the Capitol Building. An inves
tigator naturally can poll 96 senators
faster than he can check up on 435
representatives.
Besides, the average senator is more
outspoken than the average represen
tative. Generally speaking, he is poli
tically a “bigger man”—more indepen
dent than the representational type.
A few managerial representatives are
sizable with any senator, but it isn’t
the rule. The rank-and-file of repre
sentatives are kept knocked over the
nose by their respective party organi
zations. Party discipline is much loos
er in the Senate.
Anyway, when an anti-administra
tion insurrection starts, it invariably
starts at the north (which is the Sen
ate) end of the Capitol.
HOW MAJORITIES SPLIT
Such troufole does not start all at
once, even in the Senate, however.
That is to say, a majority does not
split squarely in two.
What happens is this:
A little group breaks off on some,
one issue. Another group breaks off
on some other issue. Others break off
on other issues. For purposes of mu
tual benefit they combine from time
to time —not altogether agreeing ,but
conizing that they must unite in or
der to stand.
The otherwise helpless minority us
ually has the sense to lend aid to the
majority’s malcontents—not necessar
ily from sympathy but to be helping
in raising heck.
It is a gradual process.
But, next thing the majority knows,
it no longer is a dependable majority.
QUICK CHANGES
In 1928 it appeared that the G. O. P.
was nearly as predominant as the
New Deal seems to be now.
Democratic leaders actually adimit
ed that they were afraid their party
was finished as a national political
factor. They hoped that they might?
be able to keep it going as a minor,
opposition organization, mainly sec
tional in character, but that was
about their best guess.
The late Speaker Joseph W. Byrne
of Tennessee was chairman of the
ibeaten congressional campaign com
mittee then.
“The Republicans,” he told me, “are
bound to win because they haven’t
any principles that they won’t sacri
fice for the sake of victory. We Dem
ocrats have principles—but different
kinds, among ourselves, and we quar-
PAGE THREE
rel o>ver them. So we lose.”
“Uncle Joe,” as he was affectionate
ly kno.wn on Capitol Hill, was dis
couraged.
Immediately thereafter, the Repub
licans’ formidable congressional ma
jority split into blocs, as overwhelm
ing majorities incline to do. Two years
following that melancholy interview I
had with “Uncle Joe,” his side was
in control of the House of Represen
tatives, and presently he was in thq
speaker’s chair.
