LIQUOR Advocates of liqior con
trol were chagrined at the State Sen
ate's action in lolling the local option
measure but they have extended their
hopes to the 193T legislative session.
senator Allsbrook of Halifax, ardent
supporter of the liquor control bills,
asserts that the drys will not have
more than a corporal's guard on hand
two years hence. '! Drys were noTable
to attract the ' crowds of spectators
this session that figured bear 'hear
ings two years ago and many poll
tical leaders express the Opinion that
the State is already, wet In sentiment
and that such Sentiment will '.express
itself in the selection of legislative
candidates in the primaries next
spring. It takes, a good man to. know
which way this liquor cat will jump
m North Carolina.
THREAT Senator Pi
n of Chatham, is being urged
ends from over the State to
ler running for Lieutenant Gov
ernor in the . Democratic primaries
next spring. 'At present State Sena
tors W. G. Clark, Harris Newman,
Paul Grady, former Senator George
McNeil, and Speaker of the House
RodIa, 'Grady Johnson are considered
potential candidates for the post that
carries with it the job of President of
the State Senate. .The Chatham law
maker has made himself a name in
the Senate and if he decides, to run
for Lieutenant Governor he probably
will give some -other candidates a
headache.
CIRCUS With Huey Long, the
Louisiana thorn in the Roosevelt
flesh, promising to come into North
Carolina next year to stump against
Senator Josiah Bailey, and Governor
Eugene Talmadge, the Georgia rebel,
hinting for an invitation to this State
to tell .the natives what he thinks of
'the New Deal (and it aint nice) Tar
Heels can get ready for a circus. So
far Talmadge hasnt been invited but
like the Kuignsh, the Georgia execu
tive has a habit of going where the
spirit leads him, invite or no invite.
COME AROUND Governor Eh
ringhaus told the General Assembly
what he thought it should do and
then let the members stew in their
own fat as they sought other means
of raising--necessary revenue. The
boys have spent four months at the
job and are about to come around to
the Governor's point of view. They
forgot that he had spent two years
dealing with the same problem.' The
Governor has been privately criticized
for not taking a more active part in
steering the Legislature but .he has
answered that he does not believe in
big stick methods of government.
"If they can find means of taxation
better than those I suggested, it will
be agreeable to me," the Chief Exe
cutive has said more than once.
ADVANTAGE -Every Legislature
sees efforts to levy taxes that would
give one product or class of business
an advantage over another. This year
uie classic example was-the bill to
levy a tax of 10 cents per pound on
one kind of oleomargerine. , The re
sult would have been to force the
price above other kinds of oleomar
gerine and take the taxed variety off
ue markets. Such legislation is
contrary to all principles of American
government.
SORE Senator John T. Burma of
Guilford, hasn't rotten fiver mhiu
things that happened a year or more
ago and he hasn t missed many op
portunities to shoot at the adminis
tration during the present Session.
Dr. Burrus was on the . Stats Board
of Health and supported &-T. Foun
tain against Governor Ehrmghaos in
1932. When the Doctor's term expir
ed the Governor v.dtd not reappoint
him. Then the Doctor beat Cap-as M.
Waynick. for . the Senate in 1934.
Governor Ehringham appointed Way-
nick chairman of the State Highway
and Public Works Commission and
Dr. Burrus has been boiling
since.

LOBBYISTS About the hardtest
working group of men around & Leg
islature are the paid lobbyists. Those
boys have to keep watch over their
clients' interests day and night. Some
members of the General Assembly
are always planning to annihilate
some particular business and it keeps
the lobbyists guessing from whence
the next attack will come. The boys
take a lot of cussing for their activi
ties but they really do accomplish
some good in calling attention of
thinking members to foolish legisla
tion that is being - sneaked through.
It's an ill wind that blows no good.

Urges More Silage
For Winter Seed
Leading farmers and dairymen are
now planning to produce an adequate
supply of silage for feeding their
stock next winter.
Good silage is one of the be6t feeds
that can be given animals in winter,
says John Arey, extension dairyman
at State College, and he is urging all
farmers to include silage in their
farming budget.
Silage is cheap, he points out, be
cause a large amount can be produced'
on a small acreage. It loses little
food value while in storage, and pre
vidas succulent and nutritive feed at
a time whan, pjistirc grass.. i not
