Undoubtedly many of ?> the ^ lawyer's contentious ' wdt ^ #r?d there are many imprrtje 2?s to majde in the adminatBa-1 ?*ot departments. Mr. McLean has r^Wsed, u itie Executive Budget ?stem '-s passed, to give his person ittettion to elimination of waste 1 ^ peoplo seem to have confi in him to carry out his proai 1 ises. Some of the foUigJe saying that Mr. Bailey should,!,;^ ^iveix the new Governor a chance Sipke good on his pledges before Wishing his broadside. Others take the opposite view and appear to feel that now is the opportune time to hring the mat ters mentioned in the Bailey state ment to the attention of the General Assembly and the public. Still another school of observers say there is is a waste in departmental operations,but that Mr. Bailey confined himself to mticism and did not offer any sug gestions of corrective measures. It is further suggested that the Raleigh rhwvcr saw the tide drifting in the direction of economy and wanted to "get 011 the band-wagon; that a conference with Governor Mc Lean 011 the subject, and an offer to help solve the problems of the admin istration, would have been n? course for Mr. Bailey to follow which would have earned him a wide commenda tion. The chargo\ of extravagance has been made and whether Mr. Bailey was the proper one to make it is quite beside the question, in the opinion of quite a large group of citizens and legislators. Corrective measures are thought to be in order and - general charges may be reduced to more concrete instances before the session ends. The budget system proposed by Governor McLean would it is helieved.prevent unnecesary ex penditures for operating expenses in the future and place the fiscal affairs of the State on a strictly business ba&s. , > A mild sensation in administra tion and legislative circles followed the publication, on Fritjay, of the cost oi legisluthc commissions dur ng the past two years, the sum total tmountiug to ^ 1 ?">-i,03,1.08, via: "Lost ?rovinees " O Rail road Commission, i^9,747.04; Price Water J louse Coin uission, $39,657.02; Legislative Ex .miiiing Commission, fjil 7,071.08^ ihip and Y\'ater Transportation Com mission, *10,820.47 and Tenancy Commission, i'7,38."i./>(>; Sanatorlui; nvestigatiing Commission. $6,0;58.76: state Prison Investigation Commit ion, $5,198.14; Budget Commission, v,748.71; National Park Commission, 1,805.14. To the total cost of the mimissions to the State, according o the calculators, should be added e expenses of the special session J the Genera^ Assembly last sum ler which nas not yet been worfeet ut. However, the "lid is on" new d Governor McLean has set himselt the task of actually getting thi jtate's expenditures iback in fyinCi vitli its hitherto deficient revenues, r asccrtaing the reason why it ?annot be done. -1 '? The decision of the Supreme Cour j?at the Legislature has 110 legal right to create '(sjKteild" judges to clieve court congestion,it is believed .vill bring about a creation of ad litioual judicial districts. Already a )ill has been offered in the House increasing the number from twenh :o twenty-sevcf!. This means the creation of se\ vvJ regular* judges b\ authority of tlie Legislature. The Supreme Court's decision was based >n the fact that the Legislature ha? 10 right to amend the Constitution The Constitution provides that "em ergency" judges aivv those who hav< been retired but can be called back to preside over special courts to re lieve congestion. The Legislature had lieve congestion. The Legislature judges to care of emergencies, but the members came face to face with the Constitution. However, the law making body has'the right toy crrat idditional judicial districts, cir ruits, which,automatically carrie; the increase in the number of judges. The "bus bill" has successfully run the gauntlet of the Senate and reached the House eanlendar on S.'.t urday. It is expected to pass that body during the present week. This will place the intercity bus lines un der the, supervision of -the Corpora tion Commission. The Head bill providing $20,000, )00 for bonds is expected this week to get its way through both branches jf the Assembly, with no opposition n sight. This bill is in harmony'with j the recommendations . of Governor McLean. Financial legislation is pot ex pectcd to take detuiitc shape for several 1 days .vet, the Budgot report juid the report 01 the State Board of Assessments on revenue still in com mittee.

WEEKLY MARKET NOTES Raleigh, Feb. 11.?The potato is a Ayod source of revenue for North Jarolina farmers, beKe.es ueorge Ii.i ivoss, chief of the Division of Mar-\ ?.ets, who wishes to encourage grow ers oi the State to grow this crop and market it successfully. "The world needs potatoes and must have them," says Mr. Ross. "All the producer has to do is to , raise a good product and put himself on the market as producer. No. reg the world can raise better on* ? >tatoes than are produced in . Jfern North Carolina but the grow [ firs need to learn how to utilize their | product, to get the biggest returns. "Groups of growers in Idaho have found that by wrapping the spuds they secured $3.75 per hundred weight as against $1.25 per hundred weight sold in the ordinary way. Fanners of Germany ihake up their potatoes into isuch products- as potato flakes, potato flake powder, dried potato flower, paste and scrap. These products ar so heavy in comparison to their value that they do not enter into foreign trade but are consumed at home." /' " The State pivision of Markets has now'adopted standard grades for eggs, prepared by the United State# Department of Agriculture and adopt* cd bj> the egg trade generally.
