CAPITAL PASSES '
| A QUIET WEEK
Raleigh Citizens Relax Following
Adjournment of
State Legislature
.
SCHOOL FOLKS GATHER
By M. L. SHIPMAN
RALEIGH, March 25?A week of
relaxation after the strenuous days
of the legislative session was filled
with speculation as to the results
of the work of the solons. How-1
ever, the entire week was not given
Jover to speculating for there were
some definite developments. After
the legislature adjourned, Rufe A.
Doughton assumed the post of chief
highway commissioner, Allen Maxwell
went into the revenue commissionership,
and I. M. Bailey became
a corporation commissioner
succeeding Mr. Maxwell. Nat Townsend
was named as executive assistant
to the governor, the school
teachers gathered in convention and
flayed the legislature for neglect of
the school system, the governor
made two or three other appointments
and numerous other matters s
occupied the attention of official 1
Raleigh. ?
Mr. Doughton was sworn in the '
! middle of the week, succeeding Prank
Page as chairman of the t,
highway commission. At the first
meeting of the commission after "
this event his salary was not named 1
but it is the general impression that p
he will be paid $10,000 a year, an w
increase of about $2,500 over his n
salary as commissioner of revenue.
He had served as revenue head since
A. D. Watts was dismissed by Gov- sj
ernor Morrison for personal delin- o:
quencies about six years ago. Allen k
Maxwell immediately assumed the S(
part of revenue commissioner after g(
serving the State for a number of 5,
years on the corporation commis- jr
sion while I. M. Bailey, who was 0]
an attorney in the employ of the Sj
corporation commission, became a ti
member of the organization, sue- ?
ceeding Mr. Maxwell.
Townsend Assistant
The post of executive assistant to
the governor, created as a new job
replacing that of pardon commissioner
and at a much higher salary
finally was accepted by Nat Townsend
of Dunn, after lenghty negotiations
with the governor. Mr.
. ! Townsend is now a superior court
judge and his place on the bench
was filled by appointment of Senator
T. L. Johnson of Lumberton.
Governor Gardner also announced
the appointment of G. Vernon
Cowper of Kinston as a special
judge of the superior court and
added that John Sprunt Hill would
be re-appointed State highway commissioner
of the fourth district, this
comprising the cities of Raleigh and
Durham and surrounding territory.
The worth uaroiina Teachers association
meeting here adopted resolutions
and heard speeches in
which the legislature was criticized
i severely for alleged lack of sympathy
with the school program. It was
maintained by the teachers that the
new school law would cripple the
effectiveness of the teaching sys-.
tem and would re-introduce politics
into appointments of county school
boards, and the alleged economies
effected by the act would be at the
expense of the school system. The
school folks evidently regard the
school law as a tax reduction law
primarily; at least that is the impression
gathered at their meeting
here, and there is very little of
appreciation for the increase of three
million dollars in the equalization
fund. This attitude, that of getting
vengeance at the polls which was
expressed in the meeting, probably
will not help the school protagonists
any. Far better to follow the advice ;
of Superintendent Allen who advises
strict observance of the law and
whole-hearted effort to co-operate
with the State authorities, in the
hope that the needs of the school
will be cared for adequately at a j
more propitious time.
Who's Next Governor
With the end of the legislature
there is a great deal of interesting i
talk about the candidate for gover- J
nor in 1932 and again in 1936. There
s seems to be some feeling that
Lieut. Gov. Fountain would like to
run in 1932 as the favorite of the j
Democratic party, but there is a
feeling in other circles that Mr. |
Fountain lost considerable prestige |
by his more or less open hostility j
to the secret ballot system, he hav- I
ing expressed the ic|ea that the ]
change might not be wise. ,
There is also mention of Sandy
Graham, speaker of the house, who
I is a smart young chap with a great
personal following. Some seem to
believe that he was more or less
opposed to the secret ballot bill also
and did his best through the committee
on elections to defeat it, but
this talk is discounted by others.
There is one thing, the legislature
strengthened the prestige of Gra- j
ham while it hurt Fountain. Of the j
two Graham seems to have the best j
chance, if either has iany chance.
Others still mentioned frequently j
are Albert Cox of Raleigh and John
Dawson of Kinston. Business men
of the State, however, are "fed up"

to high office and they would pre- i

patrol system, the legislature having
authorized a skeleton force oi
35 men. Governor Doughton, chairman,
is directing the work.
One of the final acts of the lowei
house was to refuse to gnant a
bonus to employes of the legislature
thus sr<ving the taxpayers about
' " ~ " mn n o
$<JU,uuu. JNeeaiess to say i/iicic w#o a
great commotion over elimination
of this bonus, which is, speaking
plainly, nothing morte than easy
graft. The senate passed the bill
but the house, led by Hanes of
Forsyth, refused to consider the matter,
on the ground that nothing
more than regular per diem salaries
should be paid. The per diem of
legislative clerks in $6 a day, while
other employes get lower wages,
down to $2 a day. The bonus would
have given the clerks $7 a day and
all others an added 50 cents per
day. The employes are wrathy about
the matter and have had some hard
things to say about the legislature.
However, the public sentiment
throughout the State, as reflected in
the daily papers, seems to approve
of the act of the legislature in this
matter.
The county board is having some
difficulty settling its accounts with
Sheriff Turner. The sheriff settled
with the board as per the law for
the past two years but among the
monies turned over were numerous
checks from property holders which
were worthless. These total about
$5,570 and the commissioners are
holding the sheriff responsible, while
he maintains that he should be
given a bill of clearance on the
matter and the checks collected in
the usual manner for handling such

to do this and the matter likely
will reach the courts.
