But one legislator put It this way; "The wine people don't want the stamp put on, and when their represenative- favors this ' amend ment you can be sure they must have figured some way to get ar ound it. They're smart enough to have pulled the ' wool over even fGene Shaw's eyes. .; Well, despite the fact that his own Finance Committee had kil led the wine-lobby sponsored am endment and the fact that a committee chairman practically always supports the stand of his committee -Bost presented almost an identical one on the floor when the stamp bill came up for action. (The only similar situation that comes to mind is in the 1949 ses sion when Frank Taylor, then Ap propriations Committee chairman, reserved the right to fight the ap propriations bill on the floor. Asked if : this wasn't the same amendment, Bost at first flatly denied that it was. He later said that he did not know, that he was not in the committee when the bill and amendment was considered Still later he said the wording of this amendment was slightly dif ferent from the One killed in com mittee it was, making it even more doubtful that the stamp on wine bottles would ever be seen in North Carolina And still later Bost said he had been in commit tee when the bill was considered but not while they voted on the amendment. It is pretty unusual, however, for a committee chairman not to acquaint himself with action tak en by his committee, even if he is absent when the deed is done. Despite all this song-and-dance the House let this amendemnt - ap proved by the wine lobbyist pass without noticeable opposition to the ramrodding Mr. Bost. After . that exhibition, how can he call the teacher lobby powerful? Add to all this box score: . Liquor Lohbyst Frank Sims didn't want any more taxes on ho och. The finance committee (House obligingly killed the bill proposing added taxes, then- almost in a body - turned their smiling faces to Mr. Sims to get his gracious nod of approval. . Three beer lobbyists, Shelby Cav- eness, Willie Le .Lumpkin, and Bill Johnson - had House Proposi tions and Grievance Chairman John Regan ask them if it was 'all right to report" a beer-vote bill, got an afirmative report from the lobbyists, and It was so ordered.

There were six attempts by six , different amendments to force through more money for the teachers and employees. But the "h'old-the-line" senators . out voted those wanting to give raises. Even contingency raises died for lack of votes. But what had the senators talk ing to. themselves as they walked away after thf .session - was the fact that their votes on all six am endments had been put on the re cord for the folks back home to see. . - - '. j However, not one backed down' or changed his vote because to I the public record, as far as it could be determined. , - j The six amandmante were: 1. State employees pay raise retroactive to January 1, 1951 - lost 35-13. . f , - 2. Include school janitors, me chanics and clerical help In a $15 per - month cost-of-living raise lost 35-13 i 3.

This was not the way they felt vita a budget 843,000,900 more than originally estimated, the sen ators' attitude was that this Gene ral Assembly has done all It can- that tot raise the budget, higher would be disastrous. They may well be wrong, but that was the way they saw.lt '.sH'S v. ifWv '.'i i'? - The senators on , that voting, Knowing it could hurt two years hence, showed themselves to be men - rather than politicians, in the acepted tense of the word. Their action may hurt at the polls but they voted their convictions. Things like that separate the men from the boys. . -jt t - 1 The legislature : has slapped down every attempt to get across . motor vehicle inspection prog ram. So, yeu would think the law makers gleefully would pas a bill to do away with the old 19 . inspection ". equipment Such was not the case, but not because anyone on the committee killing the bill thought another motor vehicle lnspecton law would. be passed. It was Just a matter of plain com mon sense. They investigated and discovered that the equipment co uld e used for routine inspection work on state vehciles. It Just did not make sense to get rid of it when it could be used. A bill seeking to refund sales tax paid from the Presbyterian encamp ment at M on treat fell by the way side. The bill Introduced by Senat ors J. Hawley Poole of Moore, Ral ph Scott of Alamance, and Zeb Weaver, Jr., of Buncome author ized the revenue commissioner, to repay sales taxes illegally collected from charitable or educational ins titutions between July 1,1936 and December 31,1946. Seems the Mon treat encampment had been coll ecting the sales tax when it was hot supposed te and turning it ov er to the state. The bill would have refunded this tax money to the Pr esbyterians. -' ' The bill was sailing along fine Then someone came up with the sound argument that, In order for the repayment to be legal, the Pre sbyterians would have to repay everyone from whom they bad col lected the tax originally.
