The biennial show is underway and despite some wishful thinking to the con trary --it looks as though it'll be humdinger. On the surface the big fight of tne 1851 session of the General As sembly will he on Increasing taxes and appropriations. But behind the scenes the real fight will .be the brawl between liberal and, conser vative forces for the 1952 governor. ship and control of the Democratic party for the coming four yean. You can expect the -conservatives to use every trick in the book to try to discredit the Scott admini stration. And you can expect the liberal forces to try to consolidate their position and push through what they consider necessary leg islation to provide adequate serv ices for Tar Heels. x:'-"-- Conservatives alreday have soun ded their battle cry - - "no new tax es and no expanded appropria tions",, They point to the certainty of increased federal taxes, and sol emnly vow that now is the time to stand pat and attempt nothing new. ' The simple fact remains,' how ever, that even to "stand pat" on services and not extend them will cost the state several millions of dollars more .during the coming biennial than it has during this one. Personnel will be needed to, man all those new buildings that were constructed under the $150,000,000 permanent improvement program. More money will be asked to complete-some of the buildings that were not started in time to be built on the money provided for them - Swinging around Capitol Hill, here are just a few expensive items that will be sought by various de. partments: School teachers, of course, will want a pay raise. If kept at the $2,200 - $3,100 range reached under the contingency raise provided last session this will cost seven to eight million dollars. If it is boosted more the cost, naturally, would be higher.-.'- . , State-supported colleges and uni versities will seek more money, and it won't be a small sum, to meet rising costs caused by ab sence of GI's. They will need money to staff new departments, too. This will reach another several million dollars a year. - The welfare department will seek more funds to raise minimum pay ments to the aged and to depen dent .children. They, too, have ex panded their program. aThls likely will cost another million If granted. The agriculture department will ask another $150,000. a finish Its new wing. The health department will want a new site bought for its unbuilt building, because they don't want to. stay -where they are --too close to Raleigh's alums. i .-; , Another effort will toe made to put through a stream' sanitation program, and that will cost another piece of change lf It carries. An effort likely will be made to put city streets unde?-thestate's care and ' that woul run close ' to $10,000,000 a year. ''- .. ." .

Some of the requests will be refused, but some, of, course, will be granted. Any way you look at it a $150,000,000 a year general fund budget for the next blennium is a conservative estimate. It prob ably will be more, even of the legis lature gets real economy minded and eut everything to the bone. The ' annual general fund budget will be nearer $160,000000 each year. - - ' Estimated revenue likely will be near the $150,000,000 mark for each of the upcoming two years. But unless the conservative forces can get .
