NEW LAW POPULAR IN WEST, MAN SAYS Candidxtefor Governor Wbrfd NdW Add Streets Used as Highways Ratoigb, March 9. ? Another logical' step In the highway program? having tho State to take over for mainten* an; e the atreets through towns and citi as, designated at State highways ? is advocated by J. C. B Ehringhaus, candidate for Governor in a statement to the press. Mr. Ehringhaus finds a strong sentiment, east and west, for State maintenance of county high* ways and would preserve essentia] ; provisions of that set. His statement follows: "There is one thing which parti, cularly impressed itself on me during my recent trip to western North Carolina an! that is, the popularity of the act of the last General Assembly, committing the care and maintenance of all the highways of the State to the Highway Commission and taking them over for State eon- 1 trol and maintenance. I knew already | the great popularity of this measure in the east but I was amazed to see I how much its popularity had inereas- | eil fn the west within a short period of time. This and the recent action of the Virginia House of Delegates in passing a similiar measure give evl? dence of the power of oublic opinion as applied to public works. ? "I heartily favor this act by our [ last General Assembly md in future j speeches, as in those made already, will insist upon the preservation of its esential provisions. By its terms, the General Assembly not only re lieved tho counties of the maintenance and control of the 47,000 miles of county roads, but also relieved them of annroximately $8,250,000.00 of county taxes. This movement and the work of the Hif.hway Commission thereunder is generally approved by the reonle and the taxpayers. "There is another and logical step to take. J trust that the 1933 General Assembly of this State will take it. We musWake over for maintenance 1 the streets of our towns and cities that are now a part of the State highway system. When a State high way comes in contact with the cor porate 1'mits of a town or city and the streets of that municipality car ry tho traffic and b-ar the load of tho h'ghwav, there is no sound reason for or justice in the State not main taining that city highway as a vital and organic part of the State's system. It can be done out of the fu>"H collected for h;ghway main tenance and save this much of ex pense to city taxpayers. "I shall favor the State taking over this burden in 1933 and the relief of 1~cm1 municipalities which it will afford." j BANKERS Wil l, MEET IN CHARLOTTE SOON Raleigh. March !> ?

Public school expenditures in North Carolina havs increased more than six times in the inst 16 years, or from for the school year 1914-15 to $33. 425,754.59 for the year 1929-30. while the current expenses per pupil enrolled increased from $6.9.') *0 $38.01 h? the same period, State School Facts, published by State Supt. A. T. Allen, shows in its cur rent issue. Of the 1929-30 cost of schools, $28, 616,603.14 was for curre: t expenses and $4,809,151.35 was for capital outlay, while $20,825,335.85 was spent by rural schools and $12,600,418.91 by charter schools. A decrease in total school costs is shown in four years, the high peak having been in 1926-27, when $36,701,501.36 was the cost, or above $3,000,000 more than the 1929-30 costs. The tendency has been for rural school costs to grow more rapidly than for charter schools, thus lessen ing the big difference in cost of the two grups. In 1914-15 the rural current cost per pupil enrolled was *5.78 while for the chartcr schools it was $12.62. In 1929-30 the rural per pupil current expense was $28.92, and for chartcr schools, $44.27. The more than 4.000 school busses in use in the State, costing more than $2,000,000 anually, yet at the lowest per pupil cost of any state in the Union, better trained teachers, bet ter buildings, broader curricula and a larger portion of high school pupils are given as reason for increased cost per pupil. Reasons assigned for var iations in costs in different school systems include: difference in school organization, as small or large schools; density of school population; transportation problem; number in high-Schools, training teachers, in cluding salaries paid, and curricula offered. In the Transylvania county rural system, it is shown, the 1929-30 total cost was $126,209.68, divided into 1 515,642.97 for capital outlay and $110,566.71 for current expenses. The current expenses per punil enrolled for four years follows* 1926-27, '44.70.; 1927-28, $89.83; 1928-29, $43.47; and 1929-30, $41.38. This county took 8th nlace among the 100 counties of the State in cost per pupil enrolled, this report shows USE CARE IN SETTING FIRE, ADVISES WARDEN While other counties of Western North Carolina have been reporting numerous forest fires during the past week, with much acreage, burned over and thousands of acres of valuable timber destroyed, Transylvania has been practically free from this dan ger. Only a few minor fii's have been reported in the county. County Game Warden E. R. Gal loway. is well pleased with the cooperation he has had among the rnmers of the countV in controlling fire, and advises that utmost core be used in burning new ground. Care l-ssness, Mr. Galloway believes, is the cause of most fires, very few being purposely set.

"I have not been happy since giving up the ministry for the law, and am return ing to my former work," he said in a statement issued here recently. Mr. Jimisor. was one of the out standing members of the Methodist conference, and most succ ssfvi ir his work. He has held pastorates at Winston-Salcm. Snencer and o'hor large centers. During the World War he was a tireless worker in every patriotic movement. After the war he devoted much time to the advance ment of the working people in the State, making a particularly hard fight for tobacco workers, cotton mill workers and the railroad workers ? three groups with which he came in contact almost constantly. He finally left the conference and began the study of law at Wn'- For est.

"The event was attended by con siderable publicity and was followed by other events which were given much notoriety and which shamed m^ "id embarrassed my friends. "Some three or four years I ouit the ministry I becamc ar dently interested in th" poor a-.ii oppressed classes of societv. I be came their champion, writing ant! speaking much in ? their behalf. Such championship naturally led in to the ;:?vna of nnlitirs and I b:c".!n" more interested in the cause than in !!i Colics themselves. Mow attention | was given to economic th?n rv t'-.nity, more time spent on sociology than m religion, more energy was r&^fnr '' on th? forum thin in the pulpit. Consequently the office of re former was confused with the calling of the prophet and I became more of a politician than an evangelist. I: the midst of such confusion I quit ? ? ' i-V up the nvnctice of the law. "I have not been happy since 1 gave up the piinistry, .and the pass ing of the years ha3 served to ac centuate my unhappiness. Many times I have tried to satisfy myself by trying to be useful asfa laymar in the church, but such efforts ;? I have put forth have been fnrM so far as mv own peace of nvnd concerned. For the past year I haw been grearlf perturbed and pestered by my situation. "A few weeks ago, after much wrestling with the problem, I de cided to give up my law practice and devote my time henceforth to the ministry of religion. Hence 1 have < ;d my office and turned my bu^noss over to n:y ?ormc.- law partner, Mr.' William }[. Abernathy. IOC I.aw building.

"I have many invitations from frJends in ihe ministry to assist the;-' in special, meetings and I shall accept at such times and places as I think my services will prove useful. I have advised with my pastor, Dr. Per"" with Bishop Mouzon and others, am' at the proper time I shall ask the conference to restore my credentials.
