FIVE CENTS A COPY (ASKS FOR $2,500,000 I EQUALIZING FUND Inornate to Aid Pcor Counties to Exteat of Sapplyinj Standard S Schools. l- Tiaieigh, Nov. 10.--Seeking t.he increase ?: any department jor institution appearing before the ' '-lufgrv. commission at its series of i hearings lasting over the past two I weeks. A. T. Allen, superintendent of I public htstruction, has presented his claims for an allotment of $2,o00,; 000 for the public school equalizing iuiju during tne next hicnnium. Superintendent Aden \-on3umed the entire afternoon He presented | arrays of facts, figures and theories | demonstrating exhaustively what the fund purports to tie and what.' it has done. Tie declared that it was the only means whereby equality of education could even be approximated in , NortH ('aroliha. During the present biennium the 1 fun I received $1,500,000 annually. ': For the next a million-dollar increase ' {is sought! Around it has centered the undercover battle for funds that has brought the institutions of higher 'earning, also seeking increases, in J conflict with the request of the pub; lie school system. Superintendent: Allen was plied with questions. lie was asked the effect if the increa-c was not granted He replied that it' would mean ..ighor taxes for schools in poorer I counties. He explained that the pur1 pose of the fund now was to aid poor counties Co the extent of supplying them with standard schools, but at the same time allowr.g their school i fax rate to remain on the basis of the j slate-wide average1. He admitted j that this could never be worked out absolutely in practice because of | varying local conditions, hut he pro} duced a chart purporting to show the j results ohtinr.ed through the admin; rend - of the fund over the first ! year p? operation. | He srtin that every hundred thousand dollars lopped off his request meant raismcj tin; scnool tax rate 111 I these poorer eon u ties one cent' en the | i hundred dollars. At the request of the commission ! he dissected his request and showed | $2,022,000 was proposed 10 tquolire ' i.'oackers' salaries and that the re1 mainder was intended for i ran.spur ta- . i# turn, emergency and similar funds. \ PERJURY ON INCREASE SINCE PROHIBITION J Xv'C " , : Abkfr'kV/":; left Raleigh, Nov. 22.?Perjury,is ram- | : paid, in the courts today.
