C. as second-class matter under the act of March 3. 1879. Address all communications to The Enterprise THE NEXT LEGISLATURE AND THE BIG CORPORATIONS "North Carolina, Incorporated" is a subject recently discussed by J. W. Bailey, attorney of Raleigh, and for mer Democratic candidate for gover nor, with the corporation clerk in the office of tbe Secretary of State. Mr.j Bailey complaining that such a name should have been given to any private corporation. lUe corporation clerk de nied that any such certificate of in corporation had been issued in"'this State. Is-* It now that Mi. Bailey was forecasting and saving that title for the next North Caro lina General Assembly, which will, if as many the big corporations of the State, succeed in the coming election, pretty nearly be "North Carolina, Incorporated." The percentage of legislative can didates that are allied and tied up with the public service corporations or the big private corporations is suf ficient notice to the public that they are marshalling their forces for some purpose which can be nothing more nor le.-.s than to take to themselves some advantages. It. may be lower the taxes on the big and raise them on the little. The corporate growth in North Carolina has been so rapid in recent years that they cover every nook and corner of the State. There are railroad attorneys, power attor neys, telephone attorneys, tobacco at torneys, chain-store attorneys, mov ing picture attorneys in every county; and, strange to say, they are always trying to butt in on the legislature. The> can do it. They are paid by the year, work or play, and are more useful to their masters in the legisla tive halls than in any other place. The lawyer who has to depend on straight practice can not afford to leave his business to serve in the legislature. What ia the result when Mr. High- Paid Corporation Lawyer gets to Ra leigh—and sometimes to Washington ? He ia confronted with business affect ing both the people and tiona. They are in part, sometimes different. Now the poor fellow is in a tight place. The people back home, out of sight, don't know much about the question. They have no purticu- Ur leader, but are ho{>efully and , trustfully depending on their legisla tors to takfe care of their interests, be cause they are paying them M a day to have him do it. On the other hand, there stand* Mr. Corporation, his em ployer, who pays him big fees and big retainers. He is in full force, tirst with his expert politicians, whose bus iness it is to add political honors to the already paid attorney legislator. Now, you have the big corporation urniy and honor, which has made kings and princes fall. These lobbying politicians are al ways surrounded by a bunch of ex pects who hang around the legisla ture for the purpose of giving out in formation that their employers may wiah to pass to the otherwise wise leg islators. There is no one to represent the pupis. They are good; they will for give, so the corporation lawyer takes aides with the big fallow and takes chances at explaining to the little fel low at home. Ho knows he can not make any such explanation to the big fellow , I If we have a real peril confronting us, it is the unequal laws - governing the classes of men, and the center of the evil lies in the fact that laws are made to protect money rather than men. W. Bailey was "riot SO far wrong when he said "North Carolina, Incorporated." Look on the next legislature, which we have already been told is to be the most important one in many years. WHY IX) MilN CRAVE PUBLIC OFFICE 7 Why do men crave public office is a mystery that is hard to understand. The scramble .fyr the job of W. A. Hart, road commissioner, long before the flowers had beoh placed on his grave, is something of an index of the appetite some people have for office. In this case the office pays the sum of $lO per day when on actual duty, and it is very likely tli&t no job in the State is beset with more trouble and ■ . I criticism than that of road commis sidner. Why, then, should men plunge so wildly for a job that is poor in pay and full of trouble? Can it be that men feel they have something so valu able they must give it to the public? If they do have such knowledge and power in store then Ihey are states men. But if it is simply that spirit of hungering and thirsting for office, then such should not be honored. A gain, if a man seeks such a job in order that he may give his or some other section some special favors, then he is the most of all unfitted for such a positon. ] NOTICE OF CANDIDACY thereby announce myself a candi date for the office of Solicitor of the County Recorder's Court of Martin County, subject to the action of the Democratic primary, and solicit the votes of the good men and women vot ers of the county.
