By Eula N. Greenwood WITHOUT A STAR—Long range Court Reform which had plagued several legisla turse in prior years was ac complished by the 1961 N. C. General Assembly which eased out of Raleigh on June 22. School officials will tell you without mincing words that no North Carolina legislative body since the days of Gov. Charles B. Aycock over a half century ago has done as much for Education as the 1961 session of this State’s law making group. For several years various and Sundry public officials and legislative leaders had talked about “doing something about the small loan business.” But they only looked -wise— and talked. ' On the other hand, these men and women who have lately returned to your midst after more than four months in Raleigh not only talked about Small Loan Problems. They did some thing about them. Where-to-get-the-money had driven more than one legista tor to drink since World War II. To avoid doing something about it of a concrete nature, one session reached back and dug out the 30million-dollar reserve fund we had set up during the war for hard times. On another occasion—the 1955 session if memory serves cor rectly—the Finance Committee merely raised the estimate of expected income for the bien nium and balanced the budget that way. Still another group said “no new taxes” and held the line. Various schemes and plans were used to postpone the in evitable: new taxes. The 1959 legislators scraped the bottom of the barrel, put on the with holding plan for collection of State income taxes, collected two years’ taxes in one year, and came up with the now familiar windfall which post poned until another day new taxes. But with the Legislature which crippled home last week, there was no delay, no way to wait, no schemes left. They put on 73 million in new taxes and did in one blow what legis lative sessions before them would not, or could not, do. The 1961 legislators saw they had to do some Congres sional Redistricting to make up for the huge population loss we suffered during those 50’s, when we read so much canned stuff about our Great Expansion . They got to it— and came up with one. Postponement of shuffling around our representatives in the Legislature according to population shifts had been the order of the day since 1941— when it was first done. The House reshuffled: the Senate did not; but the ‘61 legislators did more on this problem than the 10 sessions, combined, be fore it. Thus the 1961 Legislature was a BIG Legislature from every standpoint. While it, like those before it, probably left some little loose ends ly ing about, it did not leave one problem unsettled. It did not leave for those Legislatures coining after it huge riddles as its ancestors had done. And the near-miraculous thing about it was the absence of a star performer. There wasn’t a Gardner or a Bailey or a McDonald or a Cherry or a Hoey in the lot. You could hardly find a star performer. If there was a fut ure Governor in the group, it vvas not apparent. In fact, some of the star performers were veterans like Lindsay Warren of Beaufort, John Mc Laughlin of Iredell, Roger Kiser of Scotland County, and John Kerr, Jr., of Warrenton— men with their prominence foehind them. But there was teamwork a plenty. There was vigorous leadership from the Governor’s office. There was determina tion from the Governor's of fice. There was insistence. So, the will to work was in both houses this time; and the courageous leadership to lay out programs and to assume responsibility were the long suits of Terry Sanford.
