JSgSStSSSKSi Tm SWELL OF THt ROAD */ 600 P DRIVING n aleigK MVoundup B j Eula Nixon Greenwood Bv EuU NixoauGrfcenwood WATCH IT . . .Indications are that many of the local bills now being passed by the Legislature may prove to be unconstitutional. Although the fights between the General Assembly and Governor Kerr Scott have made the State wide news, in virtually every coun ty there is some local measure which is creating a storm. These local battles are close to the peo ple, to the voters, and they worry and fcrrttate the legislators morV more than the pablic bills. / ? "Hie General Assembly SltaM not pass any local, private, or special act or resolution relating to the establishment of courts in ferior to th#S<>perior Court," says the Constitution in Article II, Sec tion f9. It also forbids the General As sembly to pass any locaj^ private, or special act relating to justices of the peae?, or relating to health, sanitation, and the abatement of nuisances, changing the names of cities, towns, or townships, relat ing to the pay of jurors, erecting new townships, changing the line of school districts, remitting fines, penalties, and forfeitures* or re funding moneys legally paid into the public treasury, reguuuing la bor, fete., etc. This is an exceedingly interest ing section ? particularly at this time. % CONVENTION TIME ... The wuon for conventions is begin ning. The teachers were in Ashe ?ill*, last week,, the automobile dealers will nut early in Hay, and on Hay 23-24 the N. C. Her chants Association, which now has 7,000 members and is the largest trade organisation in the South, will meet at Hotel Charlotte^ George Denilj, efficient and wide awake manager Beik stares in tto Qtm City, is the attendance chairman. Paul Abernethy, one of the high moguls of the N. C. Au tomobile Dealers Association, is also Charlotte director of the Mer chants organization and head of the Convention Committee. It now looks as if upwards of 800 people will attend thw merchant's get together. Better get your reser vations in early. Principal speaker will be Rowland Jones of Wash ingfcn, D. C., new president of th^American Retail Federation. A ROYAL l3ESS . . . TheVavA an here and so is the Legislature. With proper 'leadership, the General Assembly would have ad journed two o#threc weeks ago. Asked by a member last Friday how things wq|e going, Governor Kerr Scott replied: "I don't know." This was masterful understate ment. All your life you have heard the statement "a royal mess." That is the situation here in Raleigh, MAJORITY AND MINORITY . . . One element delaying adjournment is disagreement between the two houses of the Legislature. As lines were drawn last week, it could be seen that the majority of the mem bers %f the Senate were in hearty agreement with the minority in the House. Thus it has become fecessary for a set of conferees to be appointed on the $200,000, 000 road oond issue. If this group doea not agree by th^. early part of next week, another *sct mu?t be appointed. LOBBYISTS . . . Governor Kerr Scott tore into the lobbyists, but he overlooked the fact that the Governor's office and the various State departments have the Legis lature rQnning over the lobbyista. "Lobby" as ? noun means a hall or waiting rodm, but "lobby" as a verb means to try by personal tiiSm It Start Ym Chkb life Ymt w nmMWuawg C. G. GASPLL J. C. VnTTT ft COMPACT brailkMai. j influence to get the votes of mem i bers of n lawmaking body 'or or ' against certain bills. The Gover | nor was more than likely refer ring to those lobbyists who do not j agree with him. By jumping up and down on the i necks of the lobbyists, he was 'really taking his moot severe kick to date at the Legislature, for ; left the impression that its mem | hers are more or less#?ubject to I the will of the lobbyists. There fore, the attaclf did his program no good. It made good reading, but accomplished little else, for on th4 day j^pllowing his verbal assault one of the lobbyists he called by name ? a man greatly respected by the Legislature ? ap peared in both houses and was given a big round of applause. NOTES . . . Those highway em ployees who (lave been whispering; opposition to the road bond issue are in foe a-yde fwakaping . . J This may Mfeik ttthar feuacUy of J politic^but the hint comes straight from twe Governor's office ... It now looks as if the Legsilature it finally going* to let people vbte on the ^road and school bond issues (totaling a quarter -billion dollars) ... If the folks turn down these proposals, Dr. Frank Graham will have opposition netft year . . . Get it? . . . Although only two or thry papers took note ofe itg the moat newsworthy incident at lt( Jeffersofc-Jackaon Day dinr rr here was the t??mendeo* upplauu (inn William B. U instead when ha was introduced. It lasted far aboflt five minutea . . . Only FDS has done better in this State, report* aay V . . Believe it or Rot, the Republicans in the Legislature have worked mere eleaely with Scott than the majority of the Democrats have, and there are some able men in their ranks, among them Boote Harding of Yadkin Caupty; T. E. Story, vet eran legislator of Wilkee; S. C. Eggers of Watauga; and Dr. C. A. Peterson (father of the change from electricity to gas in execu tiona) of Spruce ?ne. OKAY THIS WEEK .... . Some times, yes; sometimes, no. But this w%ek it does look as if tha Legis lature will give the people an op portunity to vote on roads and schools. There is tremendous feel ing against both projects, but the so tons saw last week how the Georgia voters turned down a bond issue much smaller than those proposed here and are of the opinion a similar tura of event* will oeeur in Nortli Caro ! Hna. Mark this down, however: If they | de carry it to the voters, it will not be because of any love for Governor Scott ; but rather because they do not want the Governor to be able to say: "The folks would have adopted these bond issues if you legislators had given them the opportunity to do so." OFF THE CUFF . . . Tony Tolar, the man who did a lot of driving for Kerr Scott on his speech mak ing trips last year, is in line for SUlaiWhilt Majority Sale In the/haittr ward of a large hospital, the surgeon-teacher was imparting some instruction to half a dozen students. Pausing at the bedside of a doubtful caae, he uid: "Now, gentlemen, examine this patient, and tell me whether or not he is a case for an opera tion." One by one, the students made their diagnosis, and all of them answere<^in the negative. "Well, gentleman, you are all wrong," said the wieider of the scalpel; "and 1 shall operate to morrow." "No, you won't." said the patient, quickly sliding out of his bedr "Six to one is a d--n good majority. Gimme my clothes!" head of the State Highway Patrol. At present, he is one of Scott's legislative eyes and ears . . . Plans are being made for J. M. Brough ton, Jr., to begin tbe practice of law here in ^ily ... in the offiee vacated by hflblate father in De cember with Woodrow Teague of Thomasville as partner ... If Charlie Parker tiring of his job . with Governor Scott? . . . The 1 Appropriations Bill, stil! millions and millions of dollars out of tifcl ance with the money the State expects to take in during 1949-51 is now in the hands of the Senate Appropriations Committee. This may mean a huge cut in approp riations to school teachers . . . and in other channels, too. This will be the big news this week. A flea can jump a distance 200 times its own length.
