Thru Capital Keyholes EDUCATION Many gentlemen from the length and breadth of North Carolina are taking tempor ary residence in Raleigh this week and will leave the Capital City two, three or four months later much wiser men. An unusually large number of new members make up this session of the General Assembly and many of these always come with ideas for remaking the laws to cor rect all difficulties of living in the State. Almost without exception theGe hopefuls leave for their homes at the end of the session wiser but sadder men. But despite failure of adoption of their proposals the Old Ship of State goes sailing on, and on, and on. LIQUOR AND JAILS—Word is leaking into Raleigh that federal agents operating in the border-towns of Virginia are going to join forces with North Carolina Officers in breaking up some of the Tar Heel .parties staged with "Virginia Li quor." According to well-grounded rumors the federal sleuths will keep eyes peeled on North Carolina cars parked around Virginia liquor stores. When the machines leave the fed eral boys will telephone their license numbers to arms of the law in this State. Watching the highways the Tar Heel officers expect to nab more than a few machines and their dri vers and seize the contraband. Sounds reasonable, at any rate. TURNING POINT All eyes will be upon two men as this session of the Legislature progresses. Upon the success or failure of Governor Ehringhaus and Lieutenant Gover nor A. H. (Sandy) Graham with the solons depends a great deal of North Carolina political history. Friends of the Lieutenant Governor says he will run for the gubernatorial nom ination in 1936 if he comes through the session with flying colors. From circles close to the present guber natorial throne comes word that Mr. Ehringhaus may be persuaded to at tempt to unhorse Senator Josiah Bailey next spring if he has good luck with the General Assembly. NO SKlßMlSH—Everything is all set for a major legislative battle ov er diversion of highway funds be fore the 1935 Legislature is very old. Capus M. Waynick, newly-appointed Chairman of the State Highway and Public Works Commission, has his forces lined up to protect the high way fund from various and sundry raiding parties but if the enemy combines forces in common cause there may be serious trouble. It will take money to repair roads now in bad shape because of thi limit of spending set by the 1933 Legis lature. It will take money to in crease the Highway Patrol and en force a driver's law. But other State interests wish to take motorists taxes to pay their bills. DECISIONS—Political wise boys now gathered in Raleigh from all over the State are expecting Clyde R. Hoey, Shelby silver-tonguer, and Congressman R. L. Doughton to make announcements of their in tentions as touching the guberna torial race before the blue birds fly again. Both these political big shots have told friends that they expected to reach conclusions "af ter the first of the year." That day has come and gone and a great si lence hangs over Shelby and Spar ta, North Carolina. "But it won't be long now," say friends and sup porters of both potential guberna torial candidates. ATTORNEY-GENERAL Forces that would like to dethrone Attor ney-General Dennis G. Brummitt are busy hunting for a triple-threat to run against the Granville man if he seeks re-election. That is just what he is expected to do unless he decides to run for Governor or list en to those who would send him gunning for Senator Bailey. Some of the friends of Lieutenant Gov ernor Graham would pit him against Mr. Brummitt and up from Craven county has come word that former State Senator Larry I. Moore may decide that he wants to be Attorney General. Meantime, Mr. Brummitt remains silent on his own plans al though he fires occasional broad aides of the actions of others. LONG RANGE—Not even the Generals in the field of opposition to the State's general sales tax (you've «een their names in print) privately expect the levy to be repealed at this session of the General Assembly. They'll tell you so, off the record. But they are busy laying the ground work of a campaign in 1937. Only angle of attack may an attempt at revision of the State's entire tax structure and writing into the laws ft graduated corporation franchise tax that would work like an Income tax in reverse and hit the "filthy rich" tight in the center of their pockelbooks (vital spot.) But that doesn't mean that barrages will not be fired at the sales lux this session. BOYS. GET THE MONET—This General Assembly is going to have Its financial headaches outside the By Bess Hinton Silver sales tax. Public sentiment is de manding more money for school teachers and those who dish out the higher education. Other State ployes also have the public on their side and more money is going to be needed all around. How to get it is going to be a mighty big question in the present session and you need n't be surprised if somebody pops up with the old luxury tax (pet of former John W. Hinsdale, of Wake county) as a supplement to the gen eral sales tax. Also ways and means will be sought for making big cor porations cough up some more tax dough. BIG MONEY—A movement to have the State take over county in debtedness for schools and roads is almost certain to be launched in the General Assembly. With all the other problems of finance confront ing the lawmakers this demand is not likely to become reality at this session but sentiment has been mov ing in that direction for some time since the State took over operation of schools and roads. The most re liable estimate is that taking over local school and road bonds would add $165,000,000 to the debt of the State government but it might re duce local property taxes to some extent.

DID A JOB—One man who did a big job in North. Carolina during the past two years and who is still hard at work but gets little credit for it is Dean I. O. Schaub, of State Col lege! and who heads the Extension Service in this State. Dean Schaub handled the machinery for the AAA tobacco program, the cotton pro gram, the corn-hog program and the other federal agricultural plans that have meant millions and mil lions of dollars to this State. Dean Schaub isn't thinking of running for public office but if he did, undoub edly he would get a big farm vote from the boys who have dollars where last year they possessed only pennies. FIGHT NAUGHTY BOOKS Washington, Jan. 4.—Fight films, naughty books and the same kind of motion pictures drew legislation in today's offering of bills.

How ever, Surry county authorities were unable to get fully organized in time to start on that date. The enumerators, a group of 15 appointed directly from the office of Congressman Prank Hancock, had to pass examinations and prove their qualifications from the standpoint of age, transportation facilities and other requirements. The examina tion tested each applicant's knowl edge of farming. The farmers have been invited to apply for copies of the blanks, which will contain over 100 questions, in order that they may study the blanks and be prepared to answer all questions without delay. Any farmer who refuses to answer the question is subject to a fine of SSOO or a year in jail, or both. The questions cover every phase of farm life, and it is thought that the census will be the most impor tant ever made before because of Coming I Opportunities I To the man who can think and keep his eyes open, 1935 will bring some of the opportunities he has long waited for.
