AUTOTAGS--if S now recognized
as a foregone conclusion" that auto
mobile license tags are 'going to be
cheaper when you decorate the ma
hogany of the State Revenue Depart
ment next January. The Joint roads
committee of House and$enate have
already agreed ' upon reducing ' the
rate ' per' hundredweight from 55
cents" to 40 centes with a minimum
tag costing 9 instead of $12.50. By
the time you read . this the hill may
have become law by passage through
j, the General Asembly. -
LOW DOWN News is seeping
. down from Washington that the AAA
is not so hot for legislation controll
ing the production of potatoes. Tar
Heels and other representatives of
potato-producing states put the bee
on the AAA boys but it now appears
that Secretary Wallace's crowd put
one over on the potato men. They
drafted a bill that bids fair to classify
many potato farmers as criminals ii
they violate, technical provisions o
the act. Congressman Lindsay War
ren has promised to look after North
Carolina .potato men with the propei
Piendments before the bill becomes

pensions and unemployment insurance
as well sb other social-security legis
lation coming along to relieve old
fashioned county homes of much of
their burden, State Senator Julian
Allsbrook, of Halifax, thinks it might
be a good plan , to turn over the
county home buildings to the care of

JNorth Carolina nave modem building:
constructed as "poor houses" that will
be vacant if the aged and unemployed
are supported by government money.
Senator Allsbrook is considering in
troducing proper legislation to carry
out his idea.
NOT SO PAST People who would
divert highway taxes to the support
of Various and sundry causes are not
getting along so Veil with the present
General Assembly. Probably that if
because many members live on sec
ondary roads that have created a
financial surplus by a maintenance
deficit. At any rate the Legislature
lost no time appropriating $3,000,000
for immediate repair and improve
ment of roads of the State.
KNOWS SCHOOLS Legislators
are generally agreed that Senator
Lloyd Griffin, of Chowan, knows his
schools. Senator Griffin was chair
man of the Senate education commit
tee that drafted the first eight
months school machinery law in
1933 and heads the same committee
this session. The manner in which
he answers questions regarding the
State-supported schools is a marvel
to many interested law-makers.
GOVERNOR The guesses are still
going around Raleigh as to who will
be a candidate foe . the Democratic
nomination f ojr, -Governor next year.
One. week the news W, that Congress
man E. L. Doughton will run and the
next weet the grapevine reports that
he will not choose-to be a candidate.
But few people doubt that Clyde R.
Hoey, Shelby Democratic silver
tonguer, and Lieutenant Governor A.
H. (Sandy) Graham are going to try
for the honor. At all odds, a good
time is likely to be had by one anc
all.
SPEED Representative R. Gregg
Cherry of Gaston, chairman of the
House finance, committee, and Sena
tor Harriss Newman, of New Han
over, chairman of the Senate money
'group, sought to speed committee
consideration of the biennial revenue
bill, but they ran into the same thing
that has held other General Assem
blies in Session overtime difference
of opinion. And you can't rush a man
away from his own ideas, at least it
hasn't been done in the finance
committee.
NEEDED The federal g6vern
ment is getting ready to spend about
four billion dollars in relief work in
cooperation with the 48 states. But
the States must set up machinery tc
conform with federal regulations be
fore sharing in the benefits. So far
North Carolina has done nothing tc
get in line for its share in this gi
gantic program. It's time the boys
in the Legislature were up and doing
TUBERCULOSIS There has been
some doubt about whether the State
should enlarge the present tubercu
lar hospital in the Sand Hills or con
struct a new unit in the mountain
section of the State. During debate
on the matter it was brought out that
no private tubercular sanitorium ii
the world is as large as the present
State unit It was also established
that some patients may recover ir
one climate and lose ground in anoth
er. As a result it now appears that
if anything is done it probably will
be authorization for construction of a
new hospital for the treatment oi
tuberculosis.
A SNAG The McDonald-Lumpkin
anti-sales tax bloc was getting along
swimmingly until the question o"
taxing individuals making over $1,000
annually was reached. That clas
being rather large and already pay
ing numerous taxes, considerable
noise was raised. The final outcorn.
is still uncertain. If you earn mor.
than $1,000 gross income per year
and do not pay schedule B. license
taxes it might be well to look intc
the matter.
DICTATORS Representative Tan
C. Bowie, of Ashe, and United State.
Page, of Bladen, have been called
"dictators" since the introduction of
several measures that other legisla
tors say would put them in absolute
nil

successful than Mr." Page, in getting
his bills enacted ",- into law but both
have experienced difficulties in steer

Legislature.
SENATOR Former Lieutenant
Governor R. T. Fountain, of Rocky
Mount, has announced that he in
tends to oppose Senator Josiah W.
Bailey, of Raleigh, in the primaries
next year. Governor Ehringhaus has
been speculated upon as a potential
candidate but since the General As
sembly has been in session he has
been so busy with affairs of State
that little mention has been made o)
the possibility of him running. Nev
ertheless, many of his friends are
still putting the pressure upon the

the necessity of giving grow

Many of them fail to realize,
however, that the same quali

good health for adults. Re

Governor. - They think he. would look
well in a Senatorial toga.
LOBBYISTS Raleigh was a Jbjt
shy on lobbyists before the introduc
tion of, the McDonald-Lumpkin plan
as a substitute for the sales tax. But
the number of gentle persuaders pick,
ed up immediately thereafter. And
the boys are settling down with their
own opinion that tax matters will not
he settled until the gavels fall on
sine, die adjournment of the 1935
Legisature.
"SPITE The charge bas been made
that proposed amendments to the
1933 law regulating the operation of
beauty shops is no more than spite
at the examinors appointed by Gov
ernor Ehringhaus. But the Governor
isn't worried. If the present three
examinors are abolished it will not be
his fault and he will have the op
portunity to appoint three new ones.
What public official objects to the
privilege of handing out jobs ?
