LEGISLATURE stood BEHIND THE GOVERNOR r -c 1 A Review of the Events of the Past I 64 Days Shows This. | Tribune Bureau. 1 Sir Wa’ter Hotel. I Raleigh. March 11.—The roost re : markable feature of the general as sembly just ended in the manner in I which it atoo.i behind the administra tion. and especially the advisory budget commission ami the governor, according to a number of state offi cials. after reviewing the events of the 04 days the assembly wits in session. “This fact is all the more remark able. too, because there were plenty • of members* in both houses who were • willing enough to buck the n«t --l ministration and the budget, but they just couldn’t find the oppor tunity. For the budget commission, 1 the greater majority of its estimates was correct, and after trying every possible way to make it otherwise, the general assembly finally admit ted -it by passing the appropriations and revenue hills. which differed opty very little from the. form in which they were originally present ed," sajd one of the stnte officials. And other echoed his statement. Another interesting feature of the assembly, especially in the hoqse. was the “revolt of the back country," composed of the 76 smaller counties, most of them agricultural, against further dictation by the 26 larger 'iidustrinl counties. These counties, led by Representative A. D. McLean of Beau fort n—incidentally a cousin of Governor Mol,can—and Representa tive J. H. Folger of Surry, with able assistance of Representatives F. D. Winston of Bertie, Nash of Richmond and others, threatened to chop in two the permanent improve ments appropriations for stale insti tutions, and successfully led the fight for and passed the state-wide ad valorem school tax bill in the house, in order that the other members and 'he stnte at large might know that ‘hey were out for a larger appropria tion for schools and that they menut to get. The result was the ultimate cqm.- arwnwe 'on the. ■ Woltz edoeotionrl Sill providing for an equalization of and for the creation of a new equalization board to maKe n general revaluation of property in ‘he state, so that a new basis of ap portionment can be worked out. The enactment of the county gov ernment reform bil’s is also regarded zs a major achievement of the gen ■ral assembly. JOSEPHUS DANIELS RAPS LEGISLATURE Says Assembly Had to Be Blasted Loose From Its Materialism to AM Schools. Raleigh, March 10.—Sinking be fore the Raleigh Women's club tonight on “North Carolina's Next Step in Education,” Josephus Daniels painted no pretty picture of a state whose legislature had to be blasted loose from its materialism by “a Quaker up here in Surr.i, Folger by nam, and a Scotchman in Sampson, named Graham.” , The Raleigh editor tore into the educational commission a few weeks ago when it declined to advocate an eight months' school term. He has not yet let np and that faHure he regards the supreme dereliction of the year. He declared that everything which education received at the hands :>f the late legislature it had to tear from that unwiltug body. The Raleigh editor began his ad dress with texts from Jeffiereoh, one of which reminded the people in 1806 that the; cared more for roads then than they do for schools. “Sounds like a 1927 trouble,” he; said. For roads he was willing to' go all the way, but his sense of proportion rebell ed utterly when he saw $30,000,000 for roads and nothing for the loan fund to build schools in the Country, a blunder corrected ip the very last hours of the assembly. Likewise be bemoaned the smallness 'of spirit : which stopped the equalizing fund short by more than a million. Compensation Law Called Dead Issue. Charlotte, March 10.—A workman’s compensation law is a dead issue in this State, and will be so for man; . years to come, F. D. Bradley, con . suiting engineer of the North Caro , Una Chapter of Associated General • Contractors, said here today. “North ’ Carolina will never have a workman’s | compensation bill,” he declared, blam , ing the Legislature for not passing | a bill that would have provided pay ments by employers in case of ae [ cidenit or death of workmen. Labor ; and capital will bitterly oppose any ’ efforts on part of either to revive it, be thinks. j TRAVELOGUE ! —ON— BERMUDA j CONCORD HIGH SCHOOL I March 11th at 8:00 P. M.

Raleigh, March 11.—One of the outstanding economy mensures enacted by the reeent general assembly was that which placed the administration of the Sutton state-wide game 1 law under the direction of the Department of Conservation and Development, fel . lowing similar action with the • ies Commission. The amendment to the game law > proposed by Representative Fred .I. 1 Button of Lenoir, also author of the j bill which boars his name, and adopted during the closing hours of the Ba sembly .Tuesday night, will save many thousands of dollars for North Care-' .

Raleigh, March 10.—Reports list ing his name among those mentioned for (he grand dragonship of the Ku f Klux Klan in North Carolina brought from Insurance Coinmissiouer Stacy Wade a denial today of any connec tion with the organization. “I give yon my word that I am not a member of the organization nor have I ever been. I was astounded wheu I saw the article," he said, referring to a news story which gave publicity to the report. “I can’t imagine where (hey got such information, bnt it is ridiculous.” George Washington frequently earn ed as much «a* twenty-seven dollars and. fifty cents, a day as a surveyor, points out Dr. W.

There will be created in the rc p organized department a new division of commercial fisheries and a new i j division of game and inland fisheries. These will be in addition to the for estry, mineral resources, water re ■i sources and stnte publicity. Import ance of the commercial fisheries of ! the state as a separate unit was a 1 j deciding factor iti causing the creation rj of a separate.division when the mens fcj ure takes effect.
