Vote To Reduce
fil Ante Tag Prfcd
Hie Senate Also Would
Spend State Money On
Streets And Reduce
Capital Punishment
Raleigh, March 29.?The Senate
yesterday voted to cut the cost of
automobile license tugs from 55 to
45 cents a hundredweight and reduce
the minimum tag price to (8. It
also authorized the State Highway
and Public Works Commission to
spend $500,000 a year on the main
tenance of city streets which are
links in the State highway system.
Both bills must b$ passed by the
House to become law.
Other important measures passed
by the Senate during its morning
and night sessions included: *a bill
to permit Superior Court judges to
sentence persons convicted of capi
tal crimes to life imprisonment
rather than death if the jury unani
mously recommends mercy. The
bill, similar to the Jones bill killed
by the House, passed the Senate
without a word of debate when
Senator . Summersill of Onslow
moved the previous question as
sojn as the measure had been read.
A bill to prohibit the county po
litical party chairman in 61 of the
100 counties from running in party
primaries also passed the Senate.
Tiii ? alon must be acted on by the
House, ? *
At its night session the Senate
balked at an administration request,
delivered by Senator Horton of
Chatham, to suspend the rules and
pass immediately the Harps bill,
already through the House, to per
mit the State to invest its sinking
funds in. the capital stock of the
quasi-public corporations in which
it owns at least 51 per cent.
"It's an administration bill and as
an emergency exists we are asked
to pass this bill immediately," said
SeMtor Horton.
But he could not say whether the
money was to be used in connec
tion with the development of the
port at Morehead City, in connec
tion with the State's railroad or
what; - . j
"It's to be used in connection
with some PWA development," he
said.

?axe some who speak publicly without a knowledge of the facts, without sin

entrusted by the people: to wit; the undersigned, has received more than
$100.00 per month (after my promise to serve for $60.00 per month) and
that the Town has made me a gift in the name of an attorney fee?thai 1

NEW JOB?Speaker Robert Grady
Johnson, presiding- officer of the
present House of Representatives, is
said to have his sights leveled on
even higher marks. The current talk
around Raleigh is that he will toss
his hat into the ring for Lieutenant
Governor when the primaries roll
around next Spring. The head man
of the House isnt having much to
say about the matter for publication
these days but his friends will tell
you be is getting his ducks in a row
to give the other boys a run for their
money in 1936. There a.? some who
say that the name of Johnson on the
ticket for two offices in one election
might not be so hot but do not be
surprised if State Treasurer Charles
M. Johnson, a cousin of the Speaker,
finds other fields in which to graze
before next Democratic primary day.
EXPECTANCY?Friends of Clyde
R. Hoey, brilliant Shelby Democrat,
expect him to announce his candidacy
for Governor in the Democratic pri-.
mary of next year almost any day
now. They will tell you that he can
command at least 90 per cent of the
votes of hiB native Cleveland County
without even issuing a command.
Still there are a lot of people who
would like to see his run for the
Senate against "Our Bob" Reynolds
in 193S. Mr. Hoey is accustomed
to making up his own mind and fight
ing, his battles in his own way. The
best thing to do is to watch him and
his smoke and not pay too much at
tention to hearsay.
RAIDERS?The folks who hope to
take a part of the gasoline tax mon
ey to support things other than
roads have not, as yet left Raleigh.
They are hanging around in thechope
that they can divert when the Legis
lature gets in the throes of a dead
lock on the biennial revenue meas
ure. It looks very much like the
General Assembly may reach such a
deadlock, so if you are interested in
getting the money you pay in gas
taxes expended on your roads now
is a good time to set up and take
notice.
TROUBLE ? Some people who
hang around the State Capitol for
fun or more profitable reasons are
of the opinion that the House of
Representatives is divided on major
questions b^gause of the Speaker
ship race two years from now. Here
are some of the Representatives of
the present House who are consider
ed candidates for Speaker in 1936:
Representatives Sullivan, of Bun
combe; Representative Morphew, of
Graham; Representative Cherry, of
Gaston, and Representative Hoyle, of
Guilford. All. except Hoyle are chair
men of major committees and you
can figure the rest out for your
selves.
POWER?Speaking sf power and
power companies, have you consider
ed the Raybum bill now before the
Congress 1 Some of our native Tar
Heels have, and here are their con
clusion briefly: Tha Raybum bill
would tcke control and management
? * - _ > 1
of privately owned properties out uj.
I oWnere' hands and pat it in the hands
of the federal government; it would
destroy the power of State regula
tory authorities; it takes powers of
I ifvievy away from the federal courts
and gives them to commissions; it
Provides government ownership in
effect without benefit of purchase;]
I it would jnean a broad-jump toward
socialism; it would depress the mark
et value of stocks and bonds of ope
rating companies, held by thousands
I of North Carolinians. Some of our
I Mm North Carolina people, who do1
not profess to love power companies-,
I ckn't find any affection for that sort
of thing. Maybe the Rayburn bill
doesnt do these things but a lot of
folks believe it holds these powers?
What's your idea?
TOO MUCH?Representatives Mc
P Donald and Lumpkin evidently over
\ stepped their bounds in recommeiid
> ing such faeltvy increases in taxes
. on power companies. They even ad
) mitted that property tax reductions
had been recaptured more than 100
1 per cent of power companies and
| then sought to increase their taxes
? further in the face of diminishing re
i turns. The boys in the House are
ooking for money but they couldn't
c figure as how they could honestly
; get it from the power companies now
t facing tax-free federal competition.
\ At least that's what they said in ef
g feet on the floor of the House?and
f most of them would" like to reduce
r the sales tax rate for personal and
J political reasons.

MONEY. It is known by one and
all that you need the long green to
run for the United States Senate
from North Carolina and everybody
knows that Mr. Hancock has no mon
ey to burn. It is said however that
Senator Bailey's financial condition
will easily stand the strain of another
Senatorial campaign.
? V :
POLITICS?Newspapermen have
construed certain remarks by Sec
retary Wallace, head of U, S. De
partment of Agriculture, as charg
ing that Governor Ehringhaua is
playing politics in attempting to get
the AAA to lower the tobacco crop
allotment fa* next year. When Wal
lace spoke in Raleigh several weeks
ago is was plain that he and the Gov-;
ernor were not in complete aceord
on the tobacco program. Governor
Ehringhaus thinks the parity price
this year should be about 26 or 27
cents while the AAA is talking about
calling it 21 cents and increasing
production to hold the price around
that figure. Governor Ehringhaus
denies that he is seeking votes for
the State next year and insists that
he is only following through on the
strokes he made in 1933 and 1934 to
boost weed prices and improve con
ditions in the tobacco belt.
. ~ ; '
CANT TAKE IT?Senator Teague
of Wayne County, is one dry mem
ber of the Legislature who is voting
his personal as well ^ political con
victions and he does not believe the
Hill bill to put the State in the busi
ness of selling liquor will become a
law at this session. The only time
Senator Teague ever set aside his
personal convictions in favor of poli
tical ones was when he tore his shirt
for A1 Smith in 1928. SpealdBf?rif
the Hill bill Senator Teague said:
"I do not believe these men will
Vote for the liquor bill when- their
names are called for the printed
tecord." It is no secret that many
measures would pass were it not for
foil calls and record votes. ,

Ndrth Carolina growers of flue-eur-1
ed tobacco were today * augmented
by adjustment payments on the 10341
crop by the AAA."
The department is today mailing!
53,783 checks to North Carolina. The l
total amount sent to the state is!
$5,344,699, or an . average of $1001
each.
Checks are also going today to!
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
The four states are receiving 72?681
checks totalling $6,998,101. Checks!
will be sent to Virginia in about two!
weeks.
The contract provides for an ad-|
ju8tment payment based on the net!
sale value of the contract signer's
1934 crop. If a grower's crop sold!
for an average price of more than!
21 cents, the payment is calculated!
on the value of the crop at 21 cents I
per pound. For contract signers!
whose base acreage is four acre# or
more, the contract provides a pay* J
ment at the rate of 12 1-2 per emit ]
For signers whose base acreage is
less than four acres, the contract I
provides that the rate of payment!
shall be increased one-half of 11
per cent for each 1-10 of an acre!
decrease in the base acreage below!
four acres, except that the maximum I
rate of the payment for such con-J
tracts cannot be more than 25 perl
cent.
The adjustment payment also in- j
eludes the "deficiency payment" of
two cents for each pound of to
bacco that the amount ef tobacco
marketed under a contract fell short
of the initial production allotment.
Adjustment payments are ex
pected to total approximately $10,
000,000. This amount is in addition
to approximately $5,098,000 in ren
tal payments and $4,459,000 in price
equalizing payments which have
already been made. !
Adjustment payments to be re
ceived by tobacco farmers of Pitt
county is $466,782; Greene county
will receive $167,317.

For Roads
Raleigh, March 26.?North Caro
lina is certain to receive $100,000,000
as its share of the ptfblic works fund
bill approved by the l>. 3. Senate.
Of that amount the State Highway
and Public Works Commission is ex
pected to get $16,000,000. That is
the opinion of Capus Waynick, chair
man of the Highway Commission, al
though he said that because the pro
gram is in a formative stage that
his opinion is Ma guess."
The remaining approximate $84,
000,000 will.be allocated to the NBA,
to various State and local govern
ments agencies to be used in street
construction and repair conservation
and development of natural resources
sewer and . water lines, improvements
and construction of municipal build
ings, park and playground work, and
other things. It is supposed that ad
ministration of this part of the fund
will be placed largely in the hands
of the State Board of Charities. Co.
operating with the National Resour
ces Board, composed of various cabi
1 <- -**?- J Putaral nf.
llCt viiiwcs ana uwitL a'wvamk ??
ftcials, is the State Planning Board.
To this board have been communi
cated projects of State Departments
and local government units total
ing $800,000,000. Out of this vast
array will be selected th most me
ritorious projects, many of them de
pendent upon adoption by the ex
tent to which local?units are able
to amplify Federal funds.
If the Ayden amendment to the
public works bill is passed, as ex
pected, the State Highway Commis
sion would administer the approxi
mate $16,000,000 road fund for North
Carolina. This figure is arrived at
as the State Highway Commission's
probable share by deducting 20 per
cent from what, under usual meth
ods of Federal allocation, would be
its share. Under the terms of the
'Federal bill the President is given
| discretionary power to reduce by that
percentage the <880,000,000 road
I fund. It is believed here that Mr.
[Roosevelt will make that reduction,
although such a course has not been
definitely indicated. Of the State's
expected $16,000,000 for roads, $9,
500,000 will likely be allotted for
roads and $6,500,000 for elimination
of railroad grade crossings.
