IA NEW CONSTITUTION I FOR NORTH CAROLINA i (Editor’s Note; This is the first in a series* of articles, to appear I during the next two months in I which Dean Van Hecke wlil dU i cuss impartially, topic by topic, j the change* proposed by the Con , stitutinnal Commission.) BY M. T. VAN HECKE, | Dean of the I-aw School, University of North Carolina. For the first time since 1868 and I for the second time in the history' of j the state. North Carolina has been I presented with a complete revision of j her constitution, subject to the ap- 1 j proval of the legislature and of the) I electorate. The last time the job wax ; I done by a reconstruction convention j i dominated by the military and com- ] i posed mainly of carpet-baggers and I * negroes. The new constitution, to i quote the Governor's letter of trans i mittal. is the work of a "commission ! composed of three of North Caro ! Ilaa's ablest judges: W. P. Stacy, ' Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, ! Chairman} John J. Parker. Setiiar i Circuit Judge of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, and Michael Schenck of the Superior Court; of four of the leaders of the North Caro lina bar: George E. Butler of Clin ton, J. O. Carr of Wilmington. Bur ton Craige. of Winston-Salem, and Congressman Lindsay Warren of Washington; of one of the stale's best i informed fiscal administrators. Allen 1 J. Maxwell, State Revenue Commis- I sioner; and of Clarence Poe, editor and humanitarian.’’ The attentron of the public has been attracted more by the alternative sug gestions as to the mehod of selecting j the executive state officers, made by j four members of the Commission, I than by any other item in the Com j mission's Report. It will be unfor-1 | tunate if this flare-up over the ques -1 lion of the power of the Governor to I appoint his chief assistants, except . for the independent Auditor, serves ' to obscure the careful study of the : text of the new constitution as aj whole. For the Report of the Com-j mission is thorough-going and con- j : struetive. In this and in succeeding] ; articles the purpose is neither to ad- j j vocate nor to oppose the adoption of ! ; the new constitution ax submitted, j i but to suggest facts and analyses up- ] I on which the reader may determine i for himself the attitude he wishes to ] take. In the main the new constitution i is characterized by the grant of a greater freedom of legislative action to the General Assembly, subjeef to ; a yeto. power in the Governor; by HEALTH CHAMPIONS OF > r *F.KiCA wmm m Ml •■T--.- - Iff plnnr iwaat Dorothy Eiier A; < Meet the king and queen of healU) in rural America!

Christmas i savings funds to the amount of $449.-1 000.000 will be distributed this month. Ag'gresslve salesmanagers will go after tneir share, but they need to know where and how the bulk of it will be spent. Estimates are that 77 per cent will be distributed in the Eastern States. New' England will get $53,747,000: the East North Central States including Ohio, Illinois, Mich igan and Indiana will get $101,892,800 and the Middle Atlantic States will get $183,720,000. Thirty-eight per cent will go for Christmas purchases; twenty-eight per cent for savings; eleven per cent for year-end bills; ten per cent for taxes; five per cent for insurance; six per cent for mort gage payments and interest; two per cent for education and travel. Keen 1 salesmanagers will watch every factor that affects public purchasing power •Streti*. Sale* and Quality. People are tired of inferior goods. Quality at low prices is the keynote to successful sales in 1933. This depres sion has sharpened the discrimination of all buyers. They kno>y that cheaply made merchandise of any kind wears out quicker and is really the most ex pensive. People can t afford to waste their hard-earned money on flimsy j goods, and they won t do itl Both ad -1 vertising and selling plans should be I keyed to soundness, utiltiy and qual- I ity in the products they offer. This j is the time to prepare a strong sales I and advertising campaign for the I coming year; but do it along the j 1933 model, not on the obsolete models | of either 192$ or 1932. . Business as registered by the Bab sonchart now stands at 13 per cent | below a year ago. on enlarged flexibility and autonomy of the courts; and by the perpetua tion of the current tendencies toward a centralized state control of educa tion and local finance. Thus, all limitations upon the pow er of state and local taxation have been removed except those wliich prescribe that this power must be exercised in a just and equitable man ner and only for public purposes, and that local taxes may only be levied in accordance with general laws. Indi rectly, however, the amounts of fu ture taxes and debts are limited by new restrictions upon state and local indebtedness, reflective of the depres sion, which forbid new debts in ex cess of i certain proportion of the amount by which the outstanding in debtedness has been reduced, unless authorized by popular vote. In the case of the state, this proportion is two-thirds of the reduction during the preceding biennium. In the ease of the local communities, it is one half of the reduction the previous year. And the present statutory sys tem of state supervision of local gov ernment finance is* strengthened by constitutional mandate. Similarly, the organization and management of local governments has been made exclusively the crea ture of statute law. liome people have thought that this sweeps away the old constitutional provisions relating to counties and townships, and to sheriffs, coroners, treasurers, regis ters of deeds, surveyors county com missioners and township officers. This is a misapprehension. Actually, the last section of the old article on municipal corporations authorized the legislature to tear up all of the pre ceding thirteen sections, except three not now material, if and when it so desired. Instead, the new constitution does away with this incongruity and requires the General Assembly to pro vide for the organization and govern ment of local communities by general laws or by optional laws subject to popular vote. The business or ihe judiciary may now be made more adjustable by grants of authority as follows: (1) to the Supreme Court to sit in di visions, (2) to a council of the judges to regulate the practice and proce dure of the courts Ca sanction now in the hands, of the legislature), <3* to the General Assembly to increase the number of Supreme Court Justices ad the number of Superior Court Jurges, (4) to the Chief Justice of an executive control of the distribution as need may require of the facilities of the Superior Court, (5) to the leg- annual 4-H club health competi tion at the International Live, stock exposition in Chicago.
