Page Two THE PILOT Friday, January 9, 1925 RALEIGH LETTER (R. E. POWELL) Raleigh, Jan. 7.—The one sure sign that two more years have rolled by— and that this is an odd year—is with us at the Capital: a General Assembly, not an unusual one, by looks, is with us again. There are some able men here and there are some weak ones. It doesn’t take thirty days of action to discover that. On the whole, however, it is a North Carolina legislature and it is, consciously or otherwise, well infected with progress. It isn’t here to cripple anybody or anything but, to the con trary, it promises to devote much ef fort to finding a way to keep the old Ship of State ploughing along at as many knots as the next Common wealth. There is one outsanding thing about the legislature: it has tremendous confidence in Governor-elect McLean. Most of the leaders have been in touch with the new executive, who will be inaugurated the fourteenth, and they are immensely pleased with his views. Some of them have been “tip ped off” to parts of the administra tion program but they are protecting the Robeson Scotchman until he de livers his inaugural. There is much talk of the size of the deficit and there are signs that with any one else heading the Ship of State but Mr. McLean some of the members might become panicky. But even if it should turn out to be a $12,000,000 —cash basis—hole they are willing to trust it to Mr. McLean. “His record as a financier can’t be beat,” declared Senator Oscar L. Clark, who will be one of the sanest legislators here. Mr. Clark is a neigh bor of Mr. McLean’s, representing the Bladen-Columbus district, and is something of a Scotchman himself. He thinks the new Governor is a great lawyer and an eminently safe man to take charge of affairs now. “My impression of the legislature is that there will be no wild law mak ing this time, “Mr. Clark said to this bureau. “The majority of the mem bers earnestly favor the continuation of the state’s great progress and they will not stand for any set-back now. It is apparent that the state must find new revenue sources but the state is growing richer all the while.” Some of the other new men who may be counted upon to hold the legis lature in a progressively conservative channel are Senator T. L. Johnson, of Robeson, who will divide the honor of being administration leader with some other Senator; Senator Hugh M. Humphrey, of Goldsboro, who is a capable and successful business man; Senator Arthur Ross, of Asheboro, who is also the business man type; Senator Will Foushee, of Durham, and others. In the house there is a raft of abili ty but it may not get down to good work on the jump. Much depends on the naming of committee chairmen by speaker Pharr. If the presiding offi cer elects to be a spoilsman and put all the Cox supporters on the cooling board, there may be trouble. Badly stated, the Cox group knows more politics than the entire Pharr cabinet and it will be closer to the Governor. Governor Morrison’s announcement that he will not deliver any farewell address to the law makers came as something of a surprise but his con cession that it is Mr. McLean’s legis lature is generally accepted as a cor rect observation. There had been prophesy that the Governor would urge the additional $35,000,000 road bond issue and that he might leave a parting word with the law makers about water transpor tation. Reports from his office, how ever, describe him as taking a philos ophical view of the end of his admin istration. His work has been done and there remains only the writing of his four years’ history. Associate Justice Clarkson has been picked to biograph the Morrison ad ministration and the word has leaked out that if Mr. Justice Clarkson doesn’t do it to please, another more fertile in the wielding of a Boswell’s pen will be chosen. There is keen in terest in the appearance of the book which, as per custom, the State will probably print. Mr. and Mrs. Tew have been quite ill the past week with the flu. Mr. and Mrs. McDermott visited several days last week with their son, George McDermott and family in Cameron. .
