Thursday, November 22, 1934 Thru Capital Keyholes LIVELY SCRAP —You don't hear much ftbout it but a real contest is developing between State Senators Carl L. Bailey, of Washington Coun ty, and Paul Grady of Johnston, for president pro tem of the coining Senate session. Both are veterans and have many friends among the new Senate line-up. Both have booming voices and both demon strated their ability at presiding ov er the Upper House in 1933. Before either is elected to the post of as sistant gavel-rapper members of the Senate will know that a scrap has been taking place. NEW STATE COUNSEL —Capitol Hill nose-in-the-wind boys smgll a change coming in the Attorney Gen eral's office. It cannot be con firmed but there's good reason to be lieve that one of the three assistants Attorney General is about to retire. Poor health is said to be the reason for the prospective resignation. Keep your ears ajicl eyes open and don't be surprised'when you hear the news. A lot of people supposed to be in the know whisper that it's coming. POLLED THE VOTE—It may not mean anything to you on its face but the fact that Johnston county polled a larger percentage of its June primary vote in the November election than either Nash or Vance counties is taken to have certain political significance in the Fourth Congressional District. You will re member that Congressman Harold D. Cooley, of Nash, defeated Jere Perry Zollicoffer, of Vance, and George Ross Pou, of Johnston for the Democratic nomination last June. Friends of Mr. Pou are point ing to the large Johnston Democratic vote this month as compared with the party's ballots in Nash and Vance counties. APPROPRIATIONS Would - be raiders of the State gasoline tax have adopted a slogan, "As much for schools as for roads" for their legislative campaign to get part of the money paid by auto and truck owners to build and maintain roads. The appropriation for schools now is $16,000,000 each year while the highway appropriation is $18,000,000 per year. But more than $9,000,000 of the highway appropriation goes SALE OF LAND UNDER DEED OF TRUST Pursuant to the powers of sale contained in a deed of trust executed by Andrew Patterson and wife, Jea nette Patterson on the 19th day of March. 1932, and recorded in Book No. 127, Page No. 321 in the office of the Register of Deeds of Surry County, North Carolina, I will sell for cash at public auction at the courthouse door in Dobson, N.

By Bess Hinton Silver for principal and interest payments on bonds while the whole $16,000,- 000 goes for operation of the schools. Something like $6,000,000 debt ser vice for school buildings is being paid by local government units and does not come out of the State ap propriation. If included it would run the school expenditures up to about $22,000,000 per year. MYSTERY—It's hard to get any advance idea on the length of the coming legislative session. Some veterans are inclined to think that the 1935 General Assembly already realizes that a State must have mon ey on which to operate but others express the opinion that it will take the constitutional 60 days for so many new members to learn what its all about. Everybody agrees that there is going to be some fight against the sales tax with opinion on the outcome divided. Then there is the question of money for boosts in teacher and State employe pay to say nothing of the necessity for leJief funds. It's a lottery problem and your guess is likely to be as good as anybody's. IN THE SUN—About two years ago, during the banking crisis, Gur ney P. Hood, State Banking Com missioner was right in the spotlight of the news. Then the Roosevelt administration got the situation straightened out and Mr. Hood drop ped out of the news. Times have improved and closed banks are now paying dividends almost as rapidly as they were closing in 1933-34. That puts the Banking Commissioner right back in the sun again. Incidental ly, the dividends have made Mr. Hood a more popular man than in the days when the banks were clos ing. LION'S SHARE—Western North Carolina Democrats who at first complained that Governor Ehring haus favored the east with patron age should be feeling better these days. The latest major appointment to go west was the naming of Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, a cousin of Sena tor "Our Bob", as acting State health officer with every indication that he will be named permanently to that office next spring. He succeeds the late Dr. James M. Parrott, of Kins ton. Other juicy plums tossed west by Governor Ehringhaus are a place on the Supreme Court bench given Judge Michael Schenck; director of the prison division presented Jack Roach, of Statesville; Superinten dent of Public Instruction tendered Clyde A. Erwin, of Rutherfordton, a couple of seats on the Superior Court bench and a hatful of minor places on boards and commissions. REVERSE ENGLISH? Howls went up to high heaven when Dr. M. C. S. Noble, Jr., was named Exe cutive Assistant to Revenue Com missioner A. J. Maxwell and placed in charge of personnel of the State's collecting agency. There were plen ty of predictions that the next Leg islature would give the Doctor the well-known boot. Dr. Noble said nothing consistently declining to be quoted. Of recent months revenue reports have been decidedly favor able but still Dr. Noble says noth ing. Capitol Hill is beginning to sing a different tune. The ear-to the-ground boys say off the record that the Doctor will not have to talk before the Legislature except to say, "Howde ye do". They venture prognostications that the records will defend Dr. Noble in the early days of 1935. TO PAY OR NOT TO PAY—The question of immediate payment of the soldiers' bonus is almost certain to arise to plague North Carolina members of Congress during the coming session. President Roosevelt is against it at this time and most of the boys from the Old North State are riding the same buggy with P. D. R. these days. Senator Josiah William Bailey voted against the bonus last session along with some of the others but times have changed since mother was a girl. State Legion Commander Hubert Olive has come out for cash pay ment and the North Carolina dele gation to the national convention of the Legion at Miami voted solidly with the majority for immediate cashing of the certificates. There doesn't seem to be much opportunity for straddling the fence. It's just every man's Judgment as to wheth er President Roosevelt or the bonus can swing the most votes in 1936 — either that or the voting of honest convictions. HEADGEAR North Carolina's victory in securing the park-to-park road to be constructed by the federal government from the Shenandoah National Park to the Great Smoky National Park is a feather in the hats of the State's two Senators, Congressmen Zebulon Weaver and R. L. Doughton and Governor Eh ringhaus. But the honors seem to be about equally divided. Prom this distance at this time it is difficult to figure out how it gives any one of them any great political advan tage over the other members of the THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA group. You can make your own de ductions. BOLD STROKE—Several Raleigh school teachers appeared in print in one of the local newspapers with statements indicating that the schools of North Carolina's capital are no more than shells. Leßoy Martin, secretary of the State School Commission returned their fire with a statement that amounted to "It ain't so", and got himself in a regu lar war. The battle is still waging with Mr. Martin contending that if the teachers are right Raleigh might just as well close its little red school houses. Final decisions will be an nounced later. Forty thousand white-tailed deer are killed annually within 300 miles of New York City, according to esti mates. checks IZtZtZ COLDS 000 FEVER first day Liquid - Tablets HEADACHES Salve-Nose Drops in 30 minutes EAST MAIN STREET , ELKIN, N.
