THE JUaMBLE AT RALEIGH
Three weeks ago it seemed to this news
paper that the present general assembly of
North Carolina had gone about its work with
extraordinary intelligence. Now the situation
at Raleigh has become one of the greatest con
fusion, the worst jumble that any one is ap
parently capable of recalling in the State's
legislative history.
At the 1931 session the general assembly sat
for five months and it was deadlocked during
a con.-iderable part of this time; but the issues
which divided the lawmakers then were rela
tively simple and easily understood. The pres-
Dear Editor:
I wotild like to take thU
to pat before the students and the
parepts an idea that has been discuss
ed some, in meetings of two or three
at the time.
I I do not believe that there i a
school m the ijtate of North Carolina
that has any more musical talent in
proportion tu the total enrollment.
tnan has Wavnuviili. Na.t w

general as.-emblv and on the narr of rh rmb.
lie of what is actually being attempted.
During the past week there were two ma
jor developments at the State Capitol. Oovernor
Fhringhaus appeared before the genera! as
sembly and piesented a message in which he
urged the adoption of a .-ales tax and a radical
new program for the public school.-. His sales
tax recommendation has met with fierce oppo
sition and his plan for the schools has not yet
been grasped by many of the legislators. Per
sons at a di-tance who have studied it out see
clearly that't would 'put every city school sys-a-:n

It: is imposihle today to doubt that
is- here not "just around the corner."
The weather bureau's 'contention
Spring arrives or; March 1, and. the astronomical
theory that the vernal advent occurs on .March
21 have ceased to figure. The arrival or non
arrival of the robins, dhe flights of wild fowl
northward ; and all . other determined factors
which command popular favor are negligible.
.No matter what the mercury in the themo
meters registers, no matter whether the skies
are blue -or gray, no matter whether the atmos
phere is balmy or chilly, it's spring. .
Spring is-the -season when 'every thing liv
ing, or dependent upon the living owes it as a
uu'ty to wake up from a hibernating -sleep, and
this spring finds the community ami all other
communities, in the land turned to wakefu'.l-
k:-s, such as no other spring in recent years
has witnessed.
It is time for business to hope to wake up,
ba.-iness to .- beginning stirring industries .- to
!-vive am! jobs: for tile jobless to open.
: Genuine spring f.-v, r is not a state of
lapguyr as many u. rsor.a illogically suppose ;: it
is .a state of renewed, activity and hustle. Now
it the time, for everybody to catch, the reai
spring- fever and help to make the wheels go
