coiAd Ott thing- t hiit is to he
maw&L .about that is that it' any

Raleiub, it must pick ort a <rood man
and keep him in the fieneraf Assem
bly. Morphew is serving'1 liis third
term. and Sullivan his second. With
J heir representatives heading these
:wo powerful commitlces, (irahant
and Buncombe, lor the West, are in
pisiiion to exercise ;i great influence
upon the affairs of the Slate. Any
county that sends first one person
rsrid then another to represent it, can
ev'i-i-H ;o receive little attention from
the State at large.
Since Speaker .IoIuimhi and Lieu
tenant Oovernor Oraham have an
nounced the -personnel- of the impor
tant committees, the (ieneral Assem
bly, which has been marking time,
can now gel 'started on its business,
and make a rec rd for fin'ediimr up
and getting home ncarlv within the
<i0 days that is allotted to it, if it
sets it-; mind to do so.
It has no sreh irreat problems as
those that confronted the last Assem
lib'. Then J he wjiole country was in
the very bottom of fin:mci;;! distress.
The banks all closed, while it was in
session, and it wa^ put to its wits
end to find anv means for <? arrying
on the necessary business of ihe State
and keeping the schools open at all.
A large part of the State has now
practically, recovered from the de
pression, and is enjoying the greatest
measure of prosperity since the
World War davs and shortly there
after, with the Man in the Moon
flirting with tobacco prices, and his
Old Lady wearing cotton. Tn other
parts of the State tlvre has
been marked improvement sipee two
years ago, in some not as n.ijci: as is
desired, but the problem is n??f near
ly so difficult. However, the proposal
of the budget commission to eliminate
the exemptions on the bare necessi
ties of life from the sales tax law,
is likely to provoke a storm of pro
test from cetrain quarters in the As
sembly, since many of t lie m?'n who
forced those exemptions into the law
two years ago, thinking that i.s in
not right to tax the articles upon
which the poor subsist and the milk
that the babies have to drink, are
still members of the Assembly. and
will be expected to put up. a fight f?r
the exemptions qow existing. It might
also easily start the sales tax figli
all over again, since there are many
members pledged against the reten
tion of the tax at all, and Willard
Powell, for the Merchants' Associa
tion, and the Fair Tax Leaguers, 01
whatever they call themselves; h?t<i
their cohorts ready and waiting for
' an opening to make an attack aTa'.nst
i the whole sales tax set up.

Washington Scene Of Much

Congress Gets Uuder Way
1 40 YEARS AGO
fuckaseige Democrat, Jan. 17, 1895
Mrs. H. P. Potts, of Dillsboro, died
Sunday last, of pneumonia.

joyed in her girlhood all the advant
ages of cultured, refined society, and
she was a pure as the daisies of the
field, but beneath her gentleness wa*.
an undercurrent of strength that made
her wonderfully brave in the sternest
of life 's battles. K. K. B.
At Raleigh: Our lawmakers have
started. off at a gait entirely inco:i
sistent with the idea that the Legis
lature would pursue a moderate ami
conservative course. The separate
cauenses of republicans and populists
having ^designated their choice for
two U| S. Senators, a joint caucu
ttw ratified* the mmkmr fr&Snat;
Butler -for the long and Jeter ('
Pritchard for the short term. Bill-'
to repeal the present system of coun
ty government, the election laws an I
the railroad commission. A bill 1 "
repeal the law providing for letting
the public printing to the loweM
bidder was rushed through to keep
from acting on bids which have been
submitted. The business like method
of giving the taxpayers a chance ol
having their work done at the lowr
e??t price didn't suit the fusionists.
They preferred that the work cost
more than usual rather than risk the
chance of a democratic printing of
fice being the lowest bidder. The pre
siding; officers of both Houses wen
shorn of their power to appoint the
committees for the first time in the
history of the State. This was don<.
because the presiding officer of the
Senatf is a democrat. They are going
at it with a rasfc.
I .
This is an era of "reform. " When
the D< <uocrats controlled the Legis
lature Mr. Reitzell, of Catawba, who
lost one leg bravely fighting for the
Confederate cause, was Assistant
Doorkeeper of the House. Last year,
I in common with other misguided
men, he joined the Populist party. It
won, even in the Democratic strong
hold of Catawba and he naturally
thought that his experience and de
votion to Fusion would at least en
able him to hold his old place. There
was a belief that the prominent Pop
ulist member from Catawba, Lee
Whitener, would see to it that the
brave Confederate soldier kept the
small crumb the "corrupt of Demo
cratic party" had given him. There
was great surprise, therefore, when
Mr. Reitzell was turned down by the
Pusionists and Abe Middleton, the
negro boss of Duplin ?county wius
elected to the place Mr. Reitzel had
filled so satisfactorily. Mr. Lee
Whitener, ex-Democrat, didn't have
much ikfJ^soe, or he preferred Abe
Middleton and obedience to the Boss,
to the old Confederate soldier. We
have gotten back to the days of the
1868 Radicals. This is the beginning.
M Reuzel ought to have known
wha^to expect at the hands of the
enemies of good government and to
have been as true to the best inter
3ts of his State in 1892 as in 1862.
But he listened to the smooth voiec
of tie deieiver and fell into a wrona
course. He never dreamed then that
he would he kicked out of the capitol
to make room for a negro Rcpubli
i can. This act ought to open the eyes
of everv FoptfKst in the State to the
drift of things. ? N?wa and Obwver.
\Vjashiugton, Jan. l(i. (SjK'cial) ?
With the complete machinery ot (iov
ernment in full swing ? Congress in
session, the Supreme Court on the
bench and the Executive departments,
which never take :t vacation, func
tioning full speed ? Washington today
presents a scene of unparalleled act
ivity.
/The city is so crowled thai many
of the new Senators nad Represen
tatives, who had no previous Wash
ington experience, have found it im
possible to get houses, apartments or
even hotel accommodations within
the reach of their pocket books. Wash
ington's attitude toward the denizens
of Capitol Hill is that they are only
transients, anyway, anl let them take
a hall bedroom if they can't find any
thing else. New members who came
expeeting to.be welcomed at the sia
tion by a brass band and flooded with
invitations to social affairs, are dis
covering that, no matter how big
they may be in their home towns,
they are only so many votes for ?
>r against ? Administration measures
when they get to Washington. Only
after years of service does a Sena
tor or a Representative establish
himself as a personality in the Wash
ington hurlcy-burlev.
One of the first things a new mem
ber learns, however, is that tho
"allowances" above his salary are
worth conserving. There is nothing
in law or custom to prevent a Sena
tor or Representative from putting
his wife, his son, his daughter or
other relatives on the Federal pay
roll. Each member is entitled to a
secretary and to other clerical help,
and if he is a committee chairman ho
has the naming of important paid
employees of the eommittee. A recent
count showel 44 persons bearing the
same names as^ Senators -and iteprc- .
sertfitfTVcs, on UjIbji at of Congression
al secretaries. A frugal member can
?ave pretty nearly all of his $10,000
i year salary, and many do just that.
Very few members evr get their
names in the bit? newspapers, but Ihe
corps of Washington correspondents
now includes scores of young men
who make a specialty of getting these
unknown members a "break" in
their home district newspapers.
All that is necessary for the av
erage member to do to get favorable
mention in home paper dispatches is
to introduce plenty of bills which are
calculated to impress the home voters.
Seldom do any of these bills get be
yond the committee to which they are
referred, and it is one of the rarest
of events for a new member of either
house to get a chance to make a
speech. All he is expected to do oi
has much of a chance to do is to bo
"regular" and vote the way his par
ty leaders tell him to. '
The now Congress will play l>;i!l
with the President ? 011 everything
but the bonus. NVbodv can tell what
may happen when it comes to the
question of old-age ]>ensions. The
President opened the door for that in
his annual message. The Townsend
Plan advocates say they have 25,000,
000 votes behind the scheme to giv??
everybody Over (iO a pension of $200
a month. That's a lot of votes, an 1
if any such demonstration can
made, it will have a jtOweH'til effect
on Congress.
The Administration plan of provid
ing jobs for everybody who is able
'o work, but at wages lower than
those current in private industry,
while throwing the burden of caring
for the unemplovables back on the
states, as outlined in the President's
message, is well liked on Capitol Hill,
and the first billion dollars neces
sary to carry this out has already
been authorized by Congress. But
this work relief plan, which is to be
submitted for direct cash doles, will
take many months to get into ojmt.i
tion, two or three years, perhaps, to
get into full swing. Meantime, Uncle
Sam will continue to dish out money
direct payments to the unem
project.
Signs are multiplying that the
power of organized labor in the Ad
ministration is declining. The split
off of the building trades, from the
A. P. of L. will, it is predicted here,
result ir. four major labor organiza
tions instead of three, and may re
sult in new and younger leaders gain
ing control of the Federation. Mean
time, it is reported, the Administra
tion is considering offering legiala
tGopfcttoed ?? two) _ _
