The local organization for the 1941 campaign for raising funds for the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis has just been completed, J.

The harmonious House of Representatives, a majority of whom have never before served in the General Assembly, had already placed in the Speaker's post Odus M. Mull, former State Democratic Chairman, who hails from the favored county of Cleveland, where governors, and speakers, and lieutenant governors, and judges, and congressmen, and such grow on trees; but mostly the same family tree. Then the same House began wielding the axe and it was voune man's dav fnr oil the people who have helped run the General Assembly'sbusiness, and who know, about it, j vrere~ tumfeo uiluiuWr uown# and young and inexperienced men placed in the key positions. Some of them are mighty close to big business interests' lobbyists, who were routed by the . people in the last primary. But at least the younger generation was given a chance to show what it can do in handling the business of the House. Over in the Senate, John Larkins, affable Senator from Jones defeated Senator Archie Gay for presidentrpro tern, and the old personnel will be intrenched, with Ray Byerly back on the job as principal clerk. He is a veteran on the job. Conspicious in Raleigh these days is Dr. Ralph McDonald, about whom and whose pplicies there was such a pother, a few years back when it took all hands and the cook to nominate Governor Hoey over him. Not only is the Dr. conspicious, but i_i- i * ms ideas appear to be somewhat t popular, (Gtovernor Broughton has said that he favors "taking the tax off the breakfast table." He also favors retirement for' teachers and other State employees. Retirement or social ocvumy lor ine employees is greatly to be desired, and there is little doubt that it will be enacted into law. But, to advo- , 3 cate that, and at the same time recommend building of more and better highways in all parts of North Carolina, and cutting out somewhere between two and a half and three milion dollars of revenue, smacks powerfully of McDonaldism. There is perhaps money to do it, now; but every body knows that when the war is over and peace descends upon x j the world, money in the treasury of the State will not be as 1 plentiful a* i* rinx" rru~ ?"* ~ MUn. aiic small counties are the chief benefici- 4jjj aries of the sales tax; but the honeymoon is on, and it is likely ; ',M that the House will fall in line J with its new-love, with old ideas. > But, when it comes to the ' j Senate, it is intimated that there will be some balking done, * and that august body may ask B .;{ that either the increases in I spending be left off, or the re- 4 duction of the tax be thrown out .-J of the window.
