(Mr. C. B. Beckham,

My Dear Mr. Beckham:
The postmaster general has asked

EVERY RESOLUTION
COSTING STATE $7
Dotty Dlgpnteb Dnreno,
In the N|r Wnlter Hotel.
Raleigh, Jan. 31 — "Every resolu
tion passed by this legislature
costs the State of North Carolina
seven dollars,” said Senator
Rivers D. Johnson, of Duplin,
“and yoU can send a letter for
three cents." The senator made
the remark In opposing the re
solution memorializing congress
to immediately enact into law the
Frazier-Leitiko bill for the relief
of agriculture.
Senator Johnson avers he holds
no malice for the farmer. “I sim
ply do not believe in passing a
resolution every time wo turn a
roimd. Particularly do I refer to
memorials ot congress. They
never read them."
Despite Johnson’s opposition the
rules were suspended .upon the
motion of Senator Gravely and the
resolutlhn passed.
County Debt Bill
Probably To Fail
(Coiltii tied from Page One.)
along the same line in that it would
require the State to take over the
unpaid balance of county road bonds
only on those roads which have been
included in the primary State high
way system, which now consists of
almost 10,000 miles of highways. There
is no way of knowing how this would
compare with the total county road
bonded debt of about 595.000.000. But
highway commission officials pointed
out that virtually all of the roads
built by the counties were included in
the primary Stateh ighway system
and that scarcely any counties sold
road bonds to‘improve their secondary
roads.
As a result, it is estimated that the
enactment of this bill would transfer
at least 90.000.000 of county roqd and
bridge bonded debt to the Btitc, to
be paid from theh ighway fund. Since
these bonds bear a much higher rate
of interest ‘than the State highway
bonds, it estimated that the debt
service on them would be at least $lO,-
(>OO.OOO a year and that the total out
lay for highway debt service would
thus be increased from the present
figure of $8,500,000 a year to at least
$18,000,000 a year. This would leave
only about $1,000,000 a year for main
tenance. reconstruction and improve
ment of the more than 60.000 miles or
roads in the. entire State system. It
is now agreed that at least $10,000,000
a year is needed for maintenance
alone.
Consolidation of County
Offices Appears Unlikely

and towns and which brought seve
ral hundred county officials here to
the hearing that did not. want their
salaries reduced or their jobs abolish
ed or consolidated, it is generally
agreed. None of the speakers touch
ed upon this phase of the bill, how
ever. Most of them maintained it
was dangerous because it would con
centrate too much power in the hands
of the county commissioners. They
also maintained it would result in
poorer service from the county offi
cials. But the real reason, they op
poosgd it was because it would re
duce the salaries of tho present office
holders and might reduce the number
of jobs for those now holding them.
It struck to closely at Iho bread and
butter of the leading politicians in
every county—the county officials
most of whom are conceded to have
much more political influence than

most county commissioners.
One of the principal opponents of
the bill was A. W. Graham, Jr., clerk
of the superior court in Granville
county, who maintained that the
bill gave too much concentration of
power into the hands of the county
commissioners. W. E. Church, clerk
of the superior court of Forsyth coun
ty, Winston Salem, also spoke against
the hill and maintained it was un
democratic since it gave the county
commissioners too much authority
over tin* other county officials. He
insisted the people of the various
counties were not in favor of the bill
and did not want it and that before
being put into effect it should be sub
mitted to a vote of the people in each
county.
John 11. Morris, secretary of the
'North Carolina Sheriffs Asociation,
and from Wilmington, New Hanover
county, opposed the Dill on about tin*
same grounds and maintained that if
it were passed, concentrating so much
power in tDo hands of the county
commissioners, it would tend to breed

A new member sits on the bench

a desire for even more power, and
that “if they are given an inch they
will 'take a mile.” Walter Bass, clerk
of the superior court in Durham
icounty, also opposed the bill and
said that he was not willing to en
trust any board of county commis
sioners to fix his salary, no matter
how good and fair they might be.
The only speaker advocating the
bill was John L. M. Skinner, of War
ren county, secretary of the North
Carolina Asociation of County Com
missioners. lie maintained that the
passage of the bill would make it pos
sible to materially reduce county ex
penses and hence county tax rates and
to a very large extent restore local
government back to the counties. He
also maintained it would eliminate
much of the present dissatisfaction on
the part of many people with regard
to their county governments and eli
minate the agitation for county eon
solidat ion.
Indications were that most of the
members of the commit tees were in
sympathy with the county officials
whose salaries might be reduced or
jobs abolished if the bill should be
passed. At the present time the
salaries of most county officials are
fixed by the general assembly by
means of public local bills and they
sec to it that the members elected to
the general assembly arc as friendly
towards them as possible. It is gen
erally agreed that many members of
the general assembly owe their elec
tion to the support and influence of
county officials.

The group also requested all county
attorneys interested in the drafting
of a new tax foreclosure law for tho
State to meet with the committee here
next Thursday morning, as an entirely
new' bill is to be drawn, due to Su
preme Court rulings invalidating parts
of the present law.
After nearly two hours of debate,
the House today defeated 69 to 38 the
Janas bill, to allow superior court
judges to impose life sentences in cap
ital felony convictions when mercy
was recommended by the jury.
Committee interest centered on the
finance committees where it was ex

While Mr. Blalock is quitting the

He will spend some time picking up

Limit Reached In
Low Work Period

ducc other things of which it is in
need. But if it balances its products,
and divides them up fairly, hte more
it produces the better off it will be;
when it reaches the limit of its re
quirements of life’s necessities, it can
turn to the production of luxuries, and
upon its appetite for these a limit is
unimaginable.
Tn passing, it is desirable to em
phasize that an unfaird ivision of that
community’s products will cause trou
ble. no matter how well balanced they
may be otherwise —but that is a sep
arate though important Issue.
The nub of the proposition is that
the community referred to runs no
risks by producing as generously as
it is able to produce (if it shares its
products fairly): a worst it will con
sume up to the point of repletion and
have something left over.
Butu nder-production is a different
matter. A little of it means less com
fort. more of it means poverty, finally
it means starvation.
Organized labor’s fight, throughout
itsh istory has been to cut down hours
while maintaining pay. or advancing
it. The employer has not objected so
much to a reduction in the length of
the standard working day, TSut has
fought for a. corresponding reduction
in payment for it.
ORGANIZED LABOR WINS
Particularly in the United States,
and, to an extent, in other countries,
organized labor has carried its point
—and proved its case also.
Hours have been shortened, pay
has risen, production has increased.
Within my recollection, th e gener*-
ally-accepted nidustrial working week
(which once ran to 84 hours or
more) has been cut from 7? to GO
; hours, from 60 to 48, and recently to
| -14 or thereabouts.
BUT IS THERE A MINIMUM.’
Evidently, then, the average work
ingham toils at so much higher a
rate of efficiency on a Hi-hour pet
week basis than on a 18 or 60 or 72
or 84-hour basis that be can produce
| more in 44 than in 48 hours and up
j ward.
That seems to be established.
But surely htere must be a point
below which working hours cannot
be reduced without reducing the vol
ume of production.
That point has about been reached
according to opponents of 30-hour-A.-
week legislation. Organized labor says
not; its contention is that production
will increase again, with another 14-
hour curtailment.
