A couple Cleveland county depu ties back from a trip to RaMgh have about the same opinion of the (general assembly as does this eol yitm in its pessimistic moods and that is that the best law passible would be one making it unlawful to have another legislature for at least 10 year*. "We dropped down to the senate gallery one night while there," one ,ot the deputies said. "Somebody Jumi>ed up and said he had a short message from the governor to read, and he read it. Then another sena tor popped up nud moved to adjourn until It o'clock the next day." In tilts manner the laws of the great state of North Carolina are made. Among the things Fanning Hea ron, Spartanburg's "Backtrack'' col umnist, says he will never forget ire the following: "The tired eyes of Hoover at Kings Mountain, ’ and "Governor O. Max Gardner gnaw ing a drumstick."

Never shall I forget that wintry dawn she snatched Marlene Deltrich off the sill by the seat of the pants.)" This from Charlie Pegrnm'a col yum in The Lenoir News-Topic about two former citizens of Shelby: "Senator B. F, Williams, who is legislating in Raleigh, grew up with Governor Gardner and now is real izing a dream he has fostered for several years— that of serving with a boyhood chum in state affairs. “Mr. Williams revealed that Gov ernor Gardner is the man who taught him how to box. “The former mayor’s friends here are hoping the two gentlemen will not give an exhibition under the eapitol dome."

We believe the governor Is In spired by he highest motives and tntensest desire to be of service to North Carolina “I have not con sidered politics, friendships, person nel, or personality, but have en deavored to tlie completeness of my capacity to subordinate everything and everybody to the welfare of my state and to the three million North Carolinian* by whose grace and con fidence I hold the high office of Governor," der’ared Governor Oard ner tn the closing part of his mes sage. And we believe that the Gov ernor means every word of that. Among the high lights of his mes sage were the recommendation that there be a salary cut of ten per cent, in every state employe’s salary, in cluding all the political sub-dlvls ions of the state; We heartily agree with the Governor in this recom mendation. Everything else is being cut. Salaried people are In better shape than anybody else these days Business has been cut to shreds and ! fortunate Is the mam who has been working on a good salary. We be lieve that the example set by the Governor in recommending salary cuts for state employes will have a wholesome effect. It will show the folks that official North Carolina i is in earnest about this economy talk. The recommemdatloh about the extra cent on gasoline will arouse much discussion. There are those who will oppose It, and there are those who will be In favor of It. If It can, In any way help reduce the cost of county government by taking some of the property off. It will be J a popular measure. Motorist, how ever, are Inclined to think that they are being ta.:ed too. much now. Another recommendation that will occasion much talk Is that referring to the reduction In labor hours per week, and also that concerning the abolishment of night work. Governor Gardner recommends that night work, for women under 18 be eliminated. We had thought since the beginning of this night work talk, that It included the ab olishment of night work for women of all ages, with no restrictions as to age. If night work for women Is to be abolished, we believe that all work by women of whatever age ought to be Included. As for the governorSa recommen dation that the state take over the county highways, we have not enought information on this sub ject to discuss It Intelligently. We bo not know the details of how this could be managed. The message, we are sure, will be greeted with widespread Interest. We believe it will be the Instrument of bringing to pass much needed legislature.
