Answering an Inquiry Governor McLean writes Govtrnor Clifford V'al ker of Georgia: "I am vory much In terester: in this mention, and am very firmly of tne opinion that the federal government should abandon its policy of levying estate taxes as a source of i ovenue snd leave the imposition of such taxes to the states as a source of state revenue exclusively." The two executives find themselves in agreement in that an estate tax is, in I radical effect, an advaiort ra tax on property and shculd be recrguized as a. state source ot revenue. Governor McLean is bringing the subject tc 'he attention of the North Carolina dele gation in congress and urging their attendance upon a convention soon to he held in Savannah to consider tax ation problems. The Attorney General rules lhat "the act to provide a Salary and Wage Commission applies to the University and all other institutions of the State, and lhat there is no constitutional prohibition against the passage of such an act by the Legislature." So the Executive Committee of the Uni versity Trustees have got what they asked for and may govern themselves rccordir.gly. It is now in order for the University and all other state agencies to send in the questionnaire j they have received properly filled out. State employes in and ahout the cap ital are apparently anxious to have the salary matter settled one way or another right away. Directors of the State s Prison, in session here during the week, ascer tained that there are-now confined In that institution 1.325 prisoners, of which thurc are 425 men on the Cala donia farm and 125 on the farm rear Raleigh. Also, that there is a "sur plus" of 775 prisoners, 45 of these be. ing women who are employed in gain, ful occupations. Within the prison walls. 339 are employed on the high ways or in quarries, leaving 391 men available to those needing laborers f.r any purpose. The board asked lor help in placing this surplus labor thus aiding in making the prison self sustaining. The directors gave tneir backing to the new prison chaplain who complained of having been mis quoted !n a newspaper interview. The State has started guits in the Wane Superior Court against W F Sesacmformer clerk of the Super ior Court of Sampson county, and his iordsmen for recovery of $21,292 50 In pensions fraudulently converted to the use of Sessoms while in office by forging the names of dead Confeder ate veterans, for which he was con victed and sentenced to serve from tW?

Further hearing was granted at which the fact was brought out that the girl Is now happily married and living in Virgin ia.
