Ol'R RALEIGH LETTER "

Raleigh. May 18?The economy pro
gram of Governor McLean, upon
which he Jias been quietly working
the past few weeks, came to the fore
during the past week at the capital
when three developments took place
of outstanding importance and per
haps designed to be of great signifi
cance in the weeks to come. The Cas
well Training School head. Dr. C. B.
McNairy, declared that because of the
decreased appropriation brought about
by changed and changing conditions
it would be necessary to return a
large number of the weakminded In
mates of the institution to their home
communities. The Executive Com
mittee of the State University Trus
tees submitted to the Attorney Gen
eral request for a ruling as to the ex
act powers of the Salary and Wage
Commission in fixing salaries of the
professors there. Miss Margaret Ed
; wards, supervisor of home economic
[education for. the Stafb, announced
that the decreased appropriation al
lowed for her work would result in a
^similar cut in the Federal appropria
tion and that only 60 rural schools
would be aided instead of 1*0. The
classes of girls receiving this highly
important training would be cut in
;number from 7,000 to 4,000 on account
o,' the reduction.
1 This was the outstanding develop
ment of the. week, because it brought
cut tlje "growing pains" of the departs
ments and institutions which may suU
fer under the new order of things ap
proved by the General Assembly. The
general reaction was that the weak
minded charges of the Caswell Train
ing School must not be returned to
their home communities, but, at the
same time, the institutions and de
partments must learn that the cor
ners will have to be cut and all must
be curtailed if the budget is to be kept
within revenue. There has been some
talk of the Governor allowing the
Caswell Training School situation to
be considered as an emergency which
would give an added appropriation
from funds provided for such pur
poses.
With regard to the Home Economics
situation, nothing definite has devel
oped, but there is a growing tendency
to believe that economy, while com
mendable as a rule, should not be car
ried to such an extent as to imperil
education or care of the State's char
ges.
The development in the Board of
Trustees Evecutive Committee of the
University reveals a feeling that It
may be said has beencrystalizing for
some time. The men who are serv
ing the State as trustees of the insti
tutions do not feel, it is said, that
their rights should be thus circum
scribed. The trustees are said to have
expressed varying feelings at the
, meetings which took- the action. The 1
ruling of the Attorney General on the
question raised will be awaited with

Governor McLean praised Judge N
A. Sinclair and Solicitor Don Oilliam
lor their persecution of the Needle,
man case which resulted In the first
conviction en masse of a mob In the
history of the State. The Executive
took occasion to re-state his position
that law enforcement must be Insist
ed upon and that the courts exist for
settlement and trial. The nine men
convicted have been lodged In the
Mate s Prison for terms ranging from
two to thirty years and the fines col
lected from twice that number which
swells the school fund of Martin
-iunt? to the extent of many thous
ifla-of dollars.
The Recent amendment to the State
Constitution in regard to taxation of
hopes, homesteads, notes, and mort
gages, provide for exemptions under
certain conditions which must exist,
according to an opinion formulated by
nssistant attorney general, J. H. Har
t.ood, and approved by Attorney Gen
letal Brummit. They are: All evi
dences of indebtedness to apply on a
