C., under the Act of March 3, 1870.- Raleigh Roundiip Bv Eula Nixon Gr^nwood FELLING LOW — If you are a | nor are swearing vengenance, for friend of Kerr Scott, How is the they are receiving reports of soft- tipie to show it, for your Governor in pretty low spirits. He is keeping a brgiht face for comp any. tout privately he is in a sad mood. For more than two months now he has wrestled with the Legislature; but as of last Satur day the Governor w'as not a hap py man. ,He has blessed out the members of his lawmaking body; he has asked them for advice; he has had all of them — and their wives — ^ound to the Mansion; he has spent long and tiresome hours in quiet discussions with the leaders of d>e Legislature and %iith the ratnrods of the opposition; he has virtually filled Memorisd Audi- itoidum here on three separate oc- cations with voters; he has em ployed the radio and the press to carry forth his ideas; but no thing has seemed to work. SORRY FOR HIM— He is like a stranger in a strange land, like a farmer whose best rabbit hound has died, whose hogs are sick with cholera, and whose children have come down with the whoo ping cough. Kerr Scott is not the type of man to feel sorry for, but his friends — and some of his enemies — were feeling sorry for him as he finished the eighth round barely hanging on the ropes last Saturday. BEWARE THE IDES— March 15 should find the Revenue Act Well on' its way through the Legisla ture. When this has been adopted by both houses, the work of the General Assembly is usually re garded as almost finished. Last w’eek, amid fervent and mocking cries of “Let’s go for ward!”, the Joint Finance Com mittee members rushed through the last few- scenes of the Act and the curtain wms rung dowm on the work of this body. This week, the Revenue ,\ct is tip-toeing through the House, and any sug gested changes to it must come directly from the floor of the House. wHile it is there, or from the Senate floor when it reaches that stage. This makes it difficult for new taxes to be added. Thus you are finding those who want new State services and new taxes attempting to. add amend ments while those' who are op posed to new taxes are bending every effort to get the Act a- , dopted. If the former group should hold sway, which is extremely unlikely, the Legislature will be footed nocturnal wanderings of one Charles M. Johnson in the smoke-fiUed rooms of that Leg islative stronghold, the Hotel Sir Walter. Many a former Johnson man who is in the amen corner doing his blamedest ito forget and be forgiven is having the props knocked from imder him by the Johnson ghost which will not be laid. Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot that it do dnge your self. .. STILLSHORT? -— Aboijat a year ago now, armed only’Mtii worlds of courage and $2,500 (a refund from his income tait), Kerr Scott set out ito beoothe Gkivernor of North Carolina; emplyed Charlie “G^iiter as publicist at $75 per week and set up offices in the Carolina Hotel. The first few weeks were “pure misery”, according to (the Governor. Scott spent thousands of dol lars of hi^ ’owri and relatives’ cold cash during the campaign. If he seems a little bellicose at (times, it may be due to the tardiness of the Democrats in helping the man who carried (the flag for them in last fall’s political parade recoup the personal financial losses he an dhis Haw River folks sustained in last year’s battles. Nobody knows hwo much the Scott family is in the hole for no big mcmey rolled to Scott’r headquarters. It came in driblets, most of the money bpys being on the other side of (the fence. A short while after J, M. Broughton was nominated for Governor — all debts, personal and otherwise, had been cleared (thanks to Osepr Pitts, now liv ing in Asheville). Greg Cherry’s campaign never lacked funds. It is thought, also, that Clyde R. Hoey’s campaign debts were well provided. However, it took J. C. B. Ehr- inghaus right at ten years from the time he announced to pull his personal finances out of the red. If Scott had been of the tricky type, he could have made himself independently wealthy following his nomination last June. The dol lar boys wanted to go on his side, cost no object, but he didn’t stay around to receive them. He is a thoroughly honest man. "Vtc' ■ Tarheel In Washington By Lester Baker . ^ * * Jonathan Daniels, Editor . of the News and Obeserver,'told a group of a hundred or more Tar heels last Thursday evening that this year, 1949, is a time when North Carolinians should be cele brating. “It is the beginning of fifty full years of democratic government in the state of North Carolina,' he said. Mr. Daniels was speaking at the February meeting of the North Caroline Democratic Club in Washington. He stated further that we need a strong “sense of youth” in or der to move forward toward an even higher degree of democracy. This statement he based dn the fact that fifty years ago most of North Carolina’s democratic lead ers—including his father, the late Josephus Daniels—were less Man 40 years of age. In the conclusion of his speech Mr. Daniels remarked, “We need to know that the whole half-cen tury behind us is only the foun dation stone-of the party we be lieve in.” He urged that we “look forward in courage, and back in the recognition of the Democratic Party in North Carolina. A disability insurance plan is included in the expanded Social Security program which President Truman - has recommended to Coixgress. . (Social Security Administration ” officials report that the average worker covered by the old age and survivors ipsurance program loses about six- days from work each year becauseiof illness., i/. But^ if Mr. Truman’s recom mendations win s'approval, the worker can collect disability in surance for periods o fillness up to 26 weeks a year. The Treasury is making many persons happy by making an eerly refund of the taxes they over paid last year. In January the Treasury re funded $70-million to 1,500,000 persons. Governor W. Kerr Scott is list- e(i as receiving a refund of $2099. It’s frightening when you stop to realize the disaster that might be fall us in case the town in which we live were attacked by an atom bomb. In the first place, most of us would have no idea of how to protect ourselves from ,the terrible effects of such an ex plosion. ' , Three atom scientists have told us that United States cities are no better prepared to cope with an atom bomb attack them the Japs were at NagasaW. A handbook which will aid communities in planning civilian defense against atomic attack • is expected to be issued soon by the Atomic Energy Commission. It will describe radiation and blast effects of an atomic explosion. RALEIGH VISITORS — The meetingest people in North Car olina, other than farmers possi bly, are the school folks. They will in sight. APPROPRIATIONS NEXT—With the Revenue Act, the money-rais ing measure, getting through first, the Appropriations Committee members — if they have dealt out (too much money — will have to T go back and trim their cloth to fit the finance pattern. A matter of a million dollars or so off base would not be deemed sufficient for appropria tions whittling, there being so much guesstimating on how much money the State will take in dur ing the next two years. Also that $30,000,000 reserve fund will like- ^■ly be used in lieu of trimming. So, keep your eye on the Revenue Act and the Appropriations Bill, for action on them will determine the length of the session. There may be some quibbling and fuss budgeting, but—revery cloud en genders "not a storm meet at the drop of a pencil. The here until Eas^r. If the latter , dry forces mass-met in Raleigh ^es,^ adjournment is definitely | to show their strength. Result: Within a few days after the flex ing of referendum muscles the Legislature gave the back of its hand to all bills calling for a Statewide referendum on liquor" Brushing the chalk dust, from their clothes, school principals, teachers and their PTA friends and neighbors hurried into the capital last week. They, like everybody . else, want better schools. However, it is,the opinion of leading members of the Gen * . HOUSE-CLEANING — The obs tinacy of the Legislature on Scott’s program is making it awfully tough on the Johnson followers who are still clingiiig to “appin- tive” jobs. Friends of the Gover- eral Assemoly that Raleigh mass meetings do little, if any. good lor any cause. Usually, they re sult i.n a great waste of time and last week’s get-together meant a great v aste of State money, for a large percentage of those pre sent were, on the State payroll. Fewer than 20 of the 5,000 people present had anything to say at the meeting, the remainder merely sitting back there like knots on a log. , LOVE THAT MAN — With re tail trade dragging in most sec tions of the State and Nation, the Raleigh Merchants Bureau is in an enviable position, for it has I Governor Scott sitting up there MORE ABOUT High School News ing evening dresses.

MORE ABOUT Sen. Broughton Governor Appoints Contest Committees Farmers throu^out the State me r taking the Virginia-North Carolina com contest 'Seriourty and are planning an all-out ef-i fort to increase their yields of this crop during the coming year, according to, reports received by the State College Extension Ser vice in Raleigh. Governor Scott has given the program another boost by asking 27 agricultural, business, press and radio leaders to serve on committees which will promote the (sontest. The leaderr include R. Flake Shavl^.of Greensboro, ex ecutive vice-president of the Nor th Carolina Farm Bureau, as chairman of the steering commit tee; Harry B. Caldwell of Greens boro, master of the North Car olina Grange, as chairman of the action committee; and Frank Daniels of Raleigh, president of the North Carolina Press Associa tion, as. chairman of the public ity committee. The contest originated with a challenge to Governor Scott by Governor William M. Tuck of Vir ginia. The Old Dominion Gover nor proposed that the completi- tion be based on the percentage increase of 1949 average state yields over the 1937-46 averages. Governor Scott immediately accepted the challenge, pointing out tliat Tar Heel’ farmers have increased their corn yields by nearly 50 per cent during the past three years. He added that fur- l^r process in cbm prpiluction can be expected in North Caro lina because of wider us eof hy brid varietier and adoption of improved cultural methods by an increasing number of farmers.
