the county participation plan, know
ing full well that If the state pays
the entire bill, they will have to pay
a part of the old age pensions in the
poorer counties. Then there is the
element, said to be headed by Gov
ernor Hoey, that favors this plan, be
cause of the belief that if the counties
are paying part of the bill, county
eommiskiners will be more oarefu!
who 'hey recommend for participation
in the fund, and that thus the likeli
hood of people not really entitled to
old age benefits being placed on the
pension list will be reduced. The
opposition is here ; but so far the
only plan advanced to get away from
the present provisions of the bill is
that of Craven's Libby Ward, who of
fered amending provisions striking
out county participation, by reducing
the total . appropriation for the pur
pose by one fourth, leaving only the
three-fourths financed by the state
and federal governments. The tffect
of this, course, would be to keep a
raise in property taxation off, but
also to reduce by one-fourth the old
age benefits that wouio oe paid in
North Carolina. The chances axe that
the wealthier counties, the people
who believe that there should be coun
ty participation, and the liquor stores
advocates will have sufficient strength
to pass the bill through the House as
it was passed by the Senate, and that
the counties will be faced with a tax
rate raise, or with the alternative of
establishing liquor stores to ere for
the old age insurance.
and others, leave the 3 per cent lev
on meals served in hotels and restau
rants. The chief opposition to the
tax came, as it did two years ago,
when it was first enacted, from the
counties of the west, where the sum
mer tourist trade is considered big
business. Buncombe and Transylva
nia raised most of the objection to
the tax; but it remained in the bill,
where jt was put by amendment in the
Senate. The gasoline stations were
able to effect a compromise of $4 a
year per pump, in lieu of the propos
ed sliding scale of chain-filling sta
tions tax, to which they objected so
strenuously, and which they contended
would result in putting half the fill
ing stations in the state out of business.
office, North Carolina is the only
state of the entire 48 in which it is
not necessary for the Governor to
sign an act of the General Assembly
before it becomes law, and in which
the Governor has no veto power. It
is understood that Governor Hoey
would like to see the Constitution so
amended as to give the Governor pow
er to veto legislative acts, and that an
amendment will be offered. Such a
one was proposed a few years ago, and
the people swamped it at the pools.
Just what theii reaction would be now (

By, Order of County Commissioners
Highway reorganization alonir the
lines proposed by Governor Hoy in
his inaugural address, will be enacted ;
but there has been a great dal of
maneuvering for advantage, as the
committee has been studying the bill.
Advantages sought by interested peo
ple in all parts of the state are two
fold. There are those who sek to
have the district map made so as to
give them better chances of control
of the commission in order to assure
the distribution of funds in uch a
way as t0 give the maximum amount
of construction and maintenance mon
ey in their particular localities. Then
there are those who are seeking polit
ical preference. There are almost as
many candidates for appointment as
there are counties in the stateand
in some counties there are factions
and groups that are seeking different
candidates even within the sam coun
ty. All this divergent opinion and
conflicting interests, financial and po
litical, has caused the map to be re
drawn three times already, and coun
ties shifted about. Every body wants
a road, and nearly every body in every
county wants a comrnis.sioner. The
roads can't all be constructed. Neith
er can all counties and factions have
reDresentation on the Hmmission. for
there will be but one commissioner to
each district. Some districts will
have few counties, others may have
as many as fourteen. Any way you
look at iti the committee has had a job
on its hands, trying to carry out the
recommendation of the governor that
the state be divided into highway dis
tricts, as was the original plan upon
which North Carolina started b-iild-ing
highways, 17 years ago.
The revenue bill, as it was finally
enacted by both houses, carries out
the pledge of the Ik-mocratic platform,
and took the sales tax from many of
the necessities of life. It did however,
despite the strenuous objections of
Senator Johnston, of Buncombe, Rep
resentative Kimsey, of Transylvania,

A bill, which will interest the teach
ers, was introduced last week. It
provides that any surplus that may
be left in the general fund at the end
of the next fiscal year be appropriated
for the purpose of raising the salaries
of class-room teachers.
Messrs. Berry, Cabe, Aycock and
others sent in a bill to raise the sal
aries of state employees. Those re
ceiving $48 a month or less would get
a 30 per cent raise. Those who draw
from $8 to $68 a month would get a
20 per cent increase. Those drawing
from $ti8 to $78 would be raised 10
per cent; and those whose salaries are
from $78 to $J00 would be increased
10 per cent.
Mr. Finch, of Buncombe, proposed
in a bill that when the state school
folks allot teachers for another year,
they must take into consideration, in
figuring average attendances of
schools, such unusual occurrences
during the previous term as epidemics
and the like.

to the Governor. Had he had it this
year, it is practically certain that the
liquor stores legislation without a
state-wide referendum would not now
be law in this state, for Clyde Hoey
has always been oppose, to the legal
sale of liquor, and affirmed his belief
in his inaugural address that "A great
state cannot be built upon money de
rived from the sale of liquor."
Showing that the presiding officers
feel that the end of the General As
sembly of 1 1),'7 is drawing near,
Speaker Cherry has appointed a cal
endar committee, consisting of
Messrs. Taylor, Peace, Bryant, Thorn
ton, and Blount. The prediction is
that the loth of March will about see
the end of the KM7 session.
After that, Governor Hoey will be
gin his appointments, and the eyes of
the state will be turned from the
House and Senate chambers to the
Governor's office. There are many
important appointments to be made,
and more that are not so important.
Two justices of the Supreme Court,
and a complete highway and public
works commission, including a chair
man, are among the more important
posts to be filled..-.
The prohibitionists made many mis
takes in their career of ascendancy.
One was the belief that prohibition
laws were all that was necessary, thus
abandoning their educational program,
when prohibition was enacted into
law. Another mistake was that pro
hibition was adopted in this state by
a referendum on a state. It wouid
have been just as easy to have adopted
it at the same referendum as a Consti
tutional Amendment. If it had been
done in that way, the 19:?5 General
Assembly could not have enacted the
ABC stores legislation for the 17
counties. The present General As
sembly could not have adopted the
county option plan, for the only way
to get an amendment out of the Con
stitution is by the same way in which
it was put in, and that is by g vote
of the entire electorate of the state.
And, speaking of the Governor's
